ZICA Male Body v.2

[ribefex]

Cut that part will be a difficult decision. It is an aggressive and irreversible process. Not for original Megos certainly. Let's see what will be the body quality of the pile of lines that CTVT announced last week ... Thanks anyway for offering the option.

Thank you, Craig. At first it seems a great news (I do not know if you already mentioned here), but the truth is I'm not quite sure what you mean by "cut off the neck plug". You mean we would have to cut all that part of the Mego neck that is normally embedded, and remains hidden, within a Mego body?
Apologies for my English. I can not wait to see the prototype of this.

Yes, it's the part of the neck that's inserted and hidden within a Mego body. removing it would make an opening at the bottom of the neck so that the head could be placed onto a neck post adapter.

No need to apologize for your English, it's fine.

Craig, if you're going to redesign the male body, then I suggest -I beg you, I implore you!- ...to think of some way to make it compatible with Mego type heads.
Maybe we could suggest some ideas here.

The design style I'm looking to go with on the new male body should work with Mego type heads. However, the neck plug would have to be cut off for them to be compatible.

More custom parts and outfits are always welcome, Craig!

Try for the Zorro license. No one's using it, are they?

The male body is postponed until I can see how well the female body sells. Also, if the male body does go into production it won't be like the prototype version that's been seen in the images. I'm going back to the drawing board and hopefully adding in improved articulation.

Be interesting to see what innovations you come up with!

As for licenses, just because some are held by other companies now doesn't mean they'll still have them when your new male body is ready.

I plan on using the superior body style you have for sale now for all my future custom jobs.

[ZICA]

Hey Craig, does this mean that any licensed product you'll be putting out will be strictly female characters?

For now I don't have any plans to put out licensed properties that would use the female body, I'm mainly focusing on the customizing market. Also, I'd rather have a male body ready before I start looking for licensed properties again that could be done in the 8" scale. Unfortunately it seems like all the cool properties are being gobbled up pretty fast so by the time I have a male body made there probably won't be anything left.

So, is the male body officially cancelled/postponed?

If the clothes are molded as part of the body, is there a point in dressing them at all?

Not part of the body, but material created around it. The tech isn't quite there yet, but soon...
