ZICA Male Body v.2

[Scousebadger]

Hope the v.2 body is the same shade as the Buck Rogers figure bodies

Hey Craig! What's the latest with the male body? Kind of remember you mentioned late this year or early next year; and we are right there! Keep the groovies coming!

The male body had to be put on hold so that production could start on the female body. If sales are strong for the female body I'll get things rolling again with the male v.2 and hopefully have something ready by this time next year, possibly a little sooner.

That's a pretty nice figure. I know that there's a company out there that makes their figures out of resin, with the same rubber band attachment as reMegos and originals. I just can't remember the name!!!

I don't think they had interchangeable hands though, or different chest pieces. What you bought was what you got.

Here is what I am thinking about. Forgive me, but I am not sure who's body this is. The biceps are definitely larger than they need to be, but you get the idea.

Here is a custom that I love that uses a buff body. I am pretty sure this one is from megospidey:

(Again, my sincere apologies to those who made these two figures if I am not giving you your proper due! These are awesome and I saved a pic on my computer so that someday, perhaps, my customizing skills will be good enough to come close to emulating yours!!)

That might be a better option, a couple of years down
the line at least.

Not to be a naysayer, but I think for a buff character, you would need more than a chest piece. The arms, legs, and chest would need to be beefed up to make the figure look right. So what I would really want to see is two male body choices, one the regular body, and the second the buff body.

Actually that would depend on how much more muscular you were wanting to go with a new chest piece. I know Hot Toys has two bodies that share all the same pieces except for the chest piece (upper torso). One is noticeably bigger than the other but not so much that it totally screws up the proportions with the rest of the body. Now if you're talking buff like 80's Arnold Schwarzenegger buff then yes, it would definitely take a whole new body.

Don't know if this has been asked, but, is it possible to have a Larger Chest attachment, Somewhat, Like you've done for the Female Figure, in which the chest attachment, attaches and extends over the Chest and Abdomen area, of the Z-2 body? To be Made for the Beefier heroes like Thor and Superman?

That's definitely a possibility and I'll be sure to take a closer look at it once the time comes to start moving forward with the actual production.

You know something? I LIKE that idea!!!

It just might work too, for those of us that like beefcake heroes.

I cant wait to give DST/EMCE's Picard that Z-2 body! Hopefully there will be an extremely pale white Z-2 body for Data, Borg and Vampires too!

I hope the pins holding the feet are more durable then they look. I've had a few problems with the feet staying stuck in some of Castaway's vinyl hero boots. Not to gripe about the quality of either product, I just hope that these shorter pins will hold up.

The ankle pin design has been changed since that picture was posted and durability shouldn't be a problem.

Now this is what a 1/9 body should look like, and with extra hands. Awesome work guys I will buy them for sure once they come out.
