ZICA Male Body v.2

[Chris]

I'd love to see how the BBP! Cylon would look on this body! I put a Cylon on a Zica v.1 body and it turned out really well. The arms bend and he's super mobile. It's perfect for me to place in a box.

Awesome !!!!!!

This body looks fantastic!!!! Can't wait for them to be sold. The original ZICA body has bailed me out of so many jams (with out of proportion heads). I'll put V2 to work too. It makes me want to stop customizing until it's released.

Maybe when the recession finally goes away. Right now, let's just concentrate on getting these bodies out there on the market.

Tried both, but eventually, in time, I found that eventually the paint rubs off! Would prefer to have colored hands for customs.

Yes, dying them would be the way to go.

Not only that, but supplying 1/6 or 1/9 head sculpt options (like Headplay does) that fits Hot Toys, ACI, or Kaustic Plastic bodies might be a real barn-burner, too. Do you know how many people would love to get an affordable realistic Schwarzenegger sculpt? Extra heads people could purchase for your bodies would be pretty popular, too. People really want options nowadays. Looking at the new body you've developed, you're wanting to give it to them, too.

People in 1:6 want options for sure. They also want affordability. I would think Mego size guys would too.
Yes, prices are getting out of hand, but Kaustic just dealt a blow to the over inflated prices by releasing a more affordable muscled body compared to the competition. Heads, hands, bodies. Even feet are necessary for a lot of bodies that don't come with them when parted out.
Zica delivered the most detailed 1:9 figures I've ever seen. No offense but 1:9 fans were never known for being as detail oriented as 1:6 folks. Zica raised the bar to a whole new level, but no one I can recall has tackled releasing 1:9 AND 1:6 figures since the original Mego company did. It would be cool to see it happen again.

If it wasn't for the fact that the 1/6 scale market is insanely competitive I might give that a shot. However, for now I think the best thing to do is focus most of my energy on the 1/9 scale market.

That`s some amazing work you`ve done with a 1/9 scale body .

Thanks!

Like I told you when I met you and I've said it on the forums, you ever decide you want to more than double your money and go 1:6, I'll be first in line!!

Have you tried dying them?

[jquest]

Were you using brush paint or spray paint?

Tried both, but eventually, in time, I found that eventually the paint rubs off! Would prefer to have colored hands for customs.

[jquest]

It's doubtful that will happen for just the hand sets that come with the bodies, simply because it would be cost prohibitive. About the only way different colors would be available is if I did a run of bodies in another color, which is possible.

Cool! Looking forward to that option!

Always a pleasure to see what you have come up with.
You've revolutionized the Mego scale.

[ZICA]

Absolutely incredible what you have done in this scale!
KUDOS!
If I were to just quickly look at the pix it would be easy to think that these were 1:6.
Amazing.

Thanks!

Trying to take 1:6 scale body designs and shrink them down to the 1:9 scale has been my main goal for these new bodies. I've had to make a few compromises here and there but for the most part I'm very happy with them.

any chance to of making colored hands available? or sold as extras pieces? would help, in making custom figures, instead of painting them and having the paint chip!
