Here's a sneak peek of the head sculpt that will be included with the female body. This is the wax prototype.

The meeting went extremely well. We actually figured out a possible solution to making the vintage style heads compatible with the body but soon discovered some other problems that make it difficult to justify the added costs.Comment

I don't have any Mego females yet. I planned to get Uhura, Chapel and Vina and update them with Zica bodies. Will these be compatible? I can see where a figure like Spectre Toy's Angelique figure from Dark Shadows wouldn't fit with the type of neck that figure has, but from pictures of EMCE's Uhura it almost looks like the neck configuration would work. Please, tell me that I'll be able to upgrade the ladies of Star Trek with Zica bodies as well.Comment

Since the adaptor wouldn't show, it could be simply made in grey or whatever color.Last edited by Mefiboschet; Jan 10, '11, 2:25 AM.Comment

Craig, from what I can conclude from the Prototype body and and head pictures, these adapters would have to be circular fittings, of which one end would go into the inside part of the neck on the body and the other end into the hole of the neckless Mego/ EMCE etc head. The adapator itself wouldn't be visible once it is snapped on. Is that correct? If so, I could provide such adaptors. I've made a variety of head adaptors in the past to fit shrunken Playmates, Big-Jim and other heads unto a Mego body. I made these on a turning lathe. Once the body will be available I could do proto adapters manually on a lathe and if there should be interest, it would be easy and cheap to run a couple of hundreds of them on a computerized (CNC) lathe.

It's a bit of work, but it should be doable.Comment
