Arriving later this year from ZICA Toys is the all new Z-Body for 1/9 scale custom action figures. Shown at the left in prototype form, the new Z-Body will offer additional articulation over what is currently available in the market. It also has a bandless construction so there's no need worry about bands breaking or the hassle of having to restring. Another cool feature of the Z-Body is the ability to easily swap out the hands and feet for different designs, such as clinched fists or slim designed super hero boots. Eventually ZICA toys will be offering an extensive line of body types, rotocast heads, hands, feet, clothing and accessories to try and fill a growing demand for custom parts within the customizing community.

Here are some updated images of a production sample body shown with an original MEGO body for comparison.
There's still some work that's needs to be done but the body is almost ready.
