I'm trying out poses with it now, and yes, this is definitely a dancer's body. Smile

I think the other good news is that the smaller upper body should mean it's easy enough to find outfits that will fit.

On the whole, I'm pleased to report that I'm pleased. Smile

First off, side by side this body is no taller than TBL's 'average' body so that concern can be put to bed. Isolated, it might seem taller, but this is purely an optical illusion thanks to the longer legs, shorter arms and body and narrower shoulders. This body seems tall, but it is not skinny. I'd say this is an ideal body for characters in the 16-21 age range.

It's something of a Frankenstein's Model, as I predicted. The legs are noticeably longer than usual, but not particularly shapely (less so than say an S18/19). The upper body is basically that of an S24/25, with less 'pneumatic' breasts. The torso is toned, defined but not overly-muscular. The narrow shoulders are a little too narrow for my personal taste, and this jury is out on the arms - I'm still trying to decide if they seem too short, or not. The derriere is shapely without being overly-exaggerated. The upper and lower genital detail is surprising - I'd say that while sculpted differently the lower detailing is the most, erm, comprehensive since the S07/09. Oddly though there is no, um, 'second orifice' (I don't find that a problem myself but at the risk of seeming overly-interested, it just seems odd to explicitly detail one orifice and then not detail it's neighbour at all).

Happiest of all, I can report that the stiffness of movement (especially in the arms) that I found hampered each of the three S28/29 models in my collection is absent here. This body seems to be as flexible as usual, and more so at the neck and waist.  I'm persuaded by this to buy yet another S28/29 (from GianToy this time) in a few months or so just to check that that first batch of those wasn't defective.

Over all, I'm happy with this, and I will definitely purchase at least an S33B and perhaps more of each.


Thanks. for the review. i'm eager to see some photos.

Ok, this sounds promising ... looking forward to pics !

This does sound promising. It might even work for someone like Charlize Theron -- who often seems like she's all legs (particularly in those Dior: Jadore commercials).

for a second I thought they had figured a way to bring back seamless ankles and feet without the floppiness but nope... Come on TBL you can do it...

One thing I'm curious about with this body is the neck size.... mainly because it seems the upper body is quite petite, so I'm wondering how the neck turned out, proportionately. I have to admit I never liked the neck on the s17b, as I found it a bit weirdly shaped and too thick for the body. I just wonder how they have handled the neck paired with narrow shoulders on this one...

Ye I thought the 'tallness' might be an optical illusion.

So what happened to s30 and s31, delayed project?

The natural light here is awful at the moment so these photos are a little iffy, but they should give you some idea. Censored for the squeamish but not too much (or too little, hopefully!) Stryker's Charlize Theron suggestion prompted me to put a Painkiller Jane h/s on the body (seeing as it's a better facial likeness than any of the 'official' CT sculpts out there). It's not a great match tone-wise, but there it is.

The body actually seems altogether 'chunkier' than the promo pics suggest, but personally I'm fine with that. The angle of the last batch of pics is slightly downward, too, so that probably plays into that perception (and yes, the neck and wrists do look a little fat).

Interestingly, in all of these pics the body looks more like a taller S24/25 than it does in hand.

Thanks for the comparison pics. It looks pretty good. I guess the neck and wrist issue isn’t going to go away anytime soon.

Ok, interesting. NOT what I was expecting at all based on the pics, but I am liking the look of it so far. 

Thank you for the comparison pics, they greatly assist in giving an idea of what to expect.

Looks quite good. The neck articulation, at least, is apparently an improvement; the look at the wrists (due to the way the silicone is molded) remains an issue as before. Thanks for the photos.

Thanks for the pics. I'll be ordering one myself just as soon as I have a bit more moolah to waste on such things.

Oh, definitely a body with nice form! I think it'll really fit asian headsculpts nicely as well in order to create your own pop group like this one Smile The lady being focused on, named Aisha from the Everglow group, seems to have a similar figure as with this TBLeague body.

To be honest, with the wrists - and to a lesser extent here the ankles - if anything it's worse than usual as there is no tapering of the lower arms toward the wrist with this model. At least on most older models they made an attempt at it even if it didn't convince entirely, but they don't seem to be bothering at all here. I don't know if it's a design choice or a moulding problem due to the shortness of the arm and/or thickness of the skin, but it's the aspect of this model I'm least pleased with. The skin certainly seems thicker over all though (when bending the elbow the skeleton is less visible than usual) so that might be a factor too.

As usual these are problems that TBL will probably address with a second edition if you're prepared to wait that long (and if it even bothers you in the first place). The second edition S20a, S22a and S23b are certainly different to the first runs of those models.

The wrist issue was there with the 25/26 and the 28/29 as well, but with the latter, they managed to hide it a little by making the hands (and feet) larger.

It’s not a massive problem for me personally, as I will be covering up the wrists and ankles with clothing, but aesthetically I agree it is a bit distracting when viewed ‘nude’. But I feel that way about most of the tbleague bodies, to some degree or another...

Same here. I generally cover the wrists with wrist bands or guards of some sort, and the feet are usually in boots or footware stockings that cover these issues up. The same goes for the nude figures. This is an area where you can not really have perfection.

I fixed this by gluing (don't panic) the wrists and the hands, which palms point forwards, with paper glue, the one that easily peal. For this the thick side of the wrist follows the thick side of the hand, so when the palms face inwards, I have nice thin wrists in the view.

That is interesting. No damage to the silicone and to the plastic? Doesn't stick to the metal? And no unsightly twist effect over the lower arm? Perhaps you could share a photo. I like the idea, but I imagine it would problematize swapping hands, but I suppose one could peal it off and reapply.

That is correct, no harm as I know, you can peel it and reapply. In case we are seeing different kinds of glue, the one I am referring to is made of gluten and water, and is water-soluble. You might want to dust the silicon with powder so it peals more easily, and scratch the wrists of the plastic hands so the glue sticks better to them.

And thanks to the member that greeted me.

That's a very interesting solution, thedude! And one that I'd certainly not thought to try, thank you for sharing. Smile 

And another warm welcome to you.  I love you

UPDATE:

Hm. Well. Unhappily, I can now report two small but worrisome skin-tears already on this one, to 'compliment' the damage to two of the three new S28/29s I own. Older bodies seem to be noticably more durable than these, and I'm also finding similar issues with newer editions of older models.  I'm now wondering if there's been a change in the formula or they're now using a lower-grade silicone, because problems with three out of four new bodies seems like more than just bad luck. Sure, these things can be repaired or modded around, but that's hardly the point.

I'm not doing anything unusual with these latest bodies either - no extreme posing, and I'm storing them in a 'neutral' stance - so I'm beginning to have serious doubts about how they are being manufactured, now.

I've got a Nancy In Hell set on order (which uses a 28/29 body by the looks of it) and I'll (eventually) be getting an S33 (either as a standalone or as part of the new Vampirella set) so we'll see how they work out. But frankly, if I have any more problems with them, then I think I'll be sticking with the older models from then on...

Thanks for the info.  That makes think twice about ordering a newer figure for sure. I may just do what you are doing until TBLeague sorts the issue out. They surely will if the problem persists and sales plummet.

It's a real dilemma. The two new body designs are arguably their best yet (certainly the most realistic), but in my experience the build quality seems seriously lacking.

But yeah - I have bodies two or three years older than these that have no problems at all, but I shudder to imagine the condition these new bodies will be in in three year's time.

Sometimes when a company expands too quickly, it experiences a loss in quality control. That's when complaints about the product start piling up and sales start to drop. At that point, they can either fix the problem, or lose money and sales to the competition until they go out of business.

This being said, I was going to buy one of the new bodies very soon as I am working on a new figure and have been buying parts from Monkey Depot, but given your report, I'll probably order one of the older figures instead and wait and see if they sort themselves out.

Sorry to hear of your problems with these— can you elaborate on where the skin tears occurred? Just curious in case I get one, what to be aware of...

Here's one of the skin-tears, just so you don't need to only rely on my opinion of it:

NEW PRODUCT: [High-heeled slender] TBLeague: 1/6 rubberized super movable long-legged narrow shoulder female body - a total of two S32A & S33B - Page 3 DSCN5390

As you can see, it's at the shoulder joint, but I stress I have NOT put the arm into any extreme positions.

I've done an emergency repair with silicone glue to avoid it worsening. With some tidying-up and a few added cosmetic touches it will hopefully look like a scar.

The other skin-tear is in an 'intimate area' so NSFW.



I hope I can salvage it as I've got the new Avril Lavigne sculpt on this body and it's a near-ideal match (see below).
