Anyone have any knowledge about these bodies?

I have a somewhat muscular character that I am working on, and thought this body was about perfect... http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TRD10013&mode=retail
but I have no idea what heads would work for it. The neck post looks like it should fit an Obitsu slim just fine (maybe with a touch of modding, perhaps). Those with more knowledge about these sorts of things... does it look like that to you? Or no?

EDIT: Ok, so that body isn't gonna work, given the pre-order state of things. So, how about this one? http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TTL10010&mode=retail
Same questions about before... does it look like it would fit an Obitsu slim head, with or without mod? (The difference in color would be no issue, as I will have to be painting the whole thing anyway to get the skin color I need for this character.)

I've been on the Pre Order for 16 months now waiting for them to get their act together on the EVO, so not yet. They've been pushed back every quarter for over a year, don't order from anyone that wants money upfront.

Now I have ordered from BBTS and everything went fine. They're really anal about over packing so your thing is absolutely fan boy perfect.

Well that's rather disappointing about the ridiculously long wait. :( Guess I'm back to body-hunting. Thanks for the info.

The Triad Evo and Eva bodies are actually years past due. I want to say that prototypes were first shown in about 2006 and it's become something of a running joke on the 1/6 scale boards since then.

There's some other unsettling stuff going on with the company but basically, I wouldn't plan any projects that would use these bodies until you actually have one in hand.

Aw, saddness. :( Well, at least now I know. Thanks for the heads-up before I wasted a bunch of time planning on that. :)

I think I have found a solution for my guys though. And at a much better price. ^_^
