ZC Rosanna is a bit short riding her bike (see pictures HERE) as she is after all a female and until 1/6 manufacturers produce 1/6 amazon-sized women, the 1/6 female body is much smaller than the male's. Perhaps using DC's 13-inch female figures would be a good fit - Black Canary might look nice on it :). Too bad I don't collect any of DC's 13-inch figures (hint! hint!)
Hot Toys True Type body does seem to fit the bike much better than Rosanna

Alex, the figure looks nice when sitting on Rozanne's bike..
great photos, looks like the real thing... (life-like)!
I also wanted a 1/6 motorbike but still figuring out how much space it will take on the shelf! that must be huge!
where did you get the helmet and outfit (jeans) from?

Master Alex,
Wowww! Very good combination! After that I am thinking in buying the Rosanna set.
thanks desmond :)
thanks AL. this 1/6 bike was going at a very good price and also had lots of nice accessories. The helmet is from an Action Man accessory card released back in 1996 (I think). Jeans bought from local 1/6 store - not sure of the source.
thanks supekudx. i was thinking of this when i first saw the rosanna set. glad it worked out too ;>
Alex, I need some help. I want to get a truetype body for my Bruce Wayne head sculpt. Which one would be the best?
Hi Jon, the original Hot Toys True Type body works well with normal clothes which is what I used for this figure in this post. It's only when you have to slap on all the armor or accessories that cause the figure to bulk up that you need the Narrow Shoulders True Type body. For example, the DX Joker uses the Narrow Shoulder on account of the many layers of clothing he has on (link: http://toyhaven.blogspot.com/2009/11/hot-toys-mms-dx01-pars-joker-review-iv.html) and DX Batman on account of his armor (link: http://toyhaven.blogspot.com/2010/02/dx-batman-vs-tdk-batman.html) I like that Hot Toys gave us the options of both the standard and Narrow Shoulders type of bodies. Hope this helps :) CHEERS!
Thanks, that really helped. =]
I went for the narrow shoulder truetype body, so Bruce could look slick in his suit. Thank for the help Alex.
U R always welcome Jon :)
