Let us hope they take note of this and fix the problem.

Interesting -- glad I was not imagining that these areas seem *especially* delicate. I've had to be incredibly careful when colouring them, so much so that I don't dare put pressure from the pastel stick directly onto the 'skin', but rather have been using a makeup sponge to gently apply the colour. All the same, it's been hard to get the pastel to stick in those spots, and I've sort of given up and just accepted it's going to be a little lighter in certain areas. I think this is the reality of these smaller bodies, that the silicone is just super thin. Which is not to say that's an excuse for it tearing so easily, all the same. :/GeeWillikers wrote:skywalkersaga wrote:Ah, is that the shoulder crease area?
I’m curious because I have noticed that area seems a little thin/delicate on my s25b and s27b, as well. I’ve been doing a lot of colouring with oil pastels and thus noticing areas where the silicone is quite thin, since I have to be careful how much pressure I use in those areas. The other spot that seemed thin is the area between the ‘crotch’ and the upper thighs.
Ah, yes! And those are the two areas where the tears have occured on my S32, and, if you remember my earlier review I opined that these bodies were basically upscaled 24/25s (I only have a sole S24 in my collection).
I think you're onto something!

I just want to know if your S32A feet are the regular-sized ones (same as S16 through S23)? Or are they the larger feet like the S28A/S29B?

The body seem to be coated with a white powder, which I presume to help keep the silicone flesh from turning into a sticky mess.
As this is my first body, I'd like to ask for advice on how to properly care for it. For now the body will sit in storage until November where the clothes and head sculpt are estimated to arrive.
Thanks in advance!

I hope the pictures are censored enough to adhere to forum rules about posting pictures. I will still tag it "not safe for work".

You can use silicone finishing powder or starch or baby powder -- they all apparently make do ... I'd store the body in a Hefty or Ziplock bag together with its accessories and the little silica pack to keep things dry -- seems to work for me anyway.
The more comprehensive reviews of TBLeague bodies do include the basic pointers, for example:

ThePhotogsBlog wrote:That is exactly right about the powder. As Gubernatorfan said, you will have to reapply some from time to time. I do it often because I handle the bodies a lot and they get dirty as a result, needing some amount of cleaning. I use corn starch, which is cheap and plentiful and apply the powder with soft makeup brushes, so I advise you to get yourself one or two of these in different sizes. This will help with the application enormously.

GubernatorFan wrote:...If you do get a stain, don't panic. A couple of gentle baths with soap and water (remember to reapply protective powder after treatment) a couple of days apart usually do the trick. It is also possible that the silicone flesh will absorb the stain over time, to the point where it no longer appears visible.
If you are committed to a permanent look, it will probably make much less of a difference -- though to me it is a matter of principle -- or fear of commitment.
Hope this helps.
