TBLeague / Phicen Seamless Bodies with Steel Skeleton Catalog (updated continually)

Diana wrote:I believe the S47B (same shape as the S46A) is the body used for the Amazon Soldier, Metis and several others, and yes, they all seem to suffer from the giraffe neck syndrome.

With the Amazon Warrior I don't mind it at all, but Metis is keeping her helmet on, which hides the giraffe neck nicely.

thanks for the reference, i guess this body is best suited for those saintess knight variants / body with shoulder pauldrons or something thick hanging on the shoulders so to compensate the head clearence with helmet on.

Tbleague should readjust the height for S46/47 release to be a bit shorter or having adjustable/replaceable neck post options.
However, i've seen some ppl able to pull it off with some heads on it without being weirdly giraffe neck.

I doubt the head can articulate without moving the neck with most HS if it sits lower than the flesh area

Saw this on BBCIN, https://bbs-bbicn-com.translate.goog/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=399210&extra=page%3D1&_x_tr_sl=zh-CN&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=nui,sc

Love the new comparison

That new comparison is excellent. What we’ve needed for a LONG time.

Wow! That comparison is awesome!
BUT!...
The bodies are still displayed at the same height in the overview pictures. While looking at the individual pictures I thought about making an overview where the bodies are actually kept in their respective sizes relative to the rulers on the side. Especially group shots of bodies that have something in common, like the curvy bodies, the anime bodies, the tall ones, the short ones, the ones with a small/medium/large bust,... LOL, maybe a little interactive table with filters would be more useful! :lol

Getting ideas...

  That's funny, because I actually like the narrow-shoulders-tall-and-slim look of the S32 body. In fact, I just purchased another one, because to my eye it works well with the (Gubernator's favorite   ) SDH018 head sculpts!

The S32 is not my go-to TBLeague body, but it works well for that head. It is interesting how we all have slightly different tastes in what we like to see in these action figure bodies. Of course, the preferred body style is usually influenced by the project for which it is intended, and especially by how the head sculpts fit.

I saw that, Dave... and in my defense I'm not alone in my taste... but anyway.

So everyone is raving about this, but I cannot for the life of me get the link to open; BBCIN and my internet are not friends, for whatever reason. Perhaps at some point someone can extract the image and post it here.

So folks don't have to fight BBCIN

Thanks, MMI!

Welcome!

Seeing this now in a more "proper" presentation from TBL, I am really thinking about picking up a couple of the new skin tones, namely the S07D and maybe a S52B.

Definitely interesting prospects, I preordered a couple of the new skin tones for my favorite bodies.

I hope these are available for a long time, because I'm unfortunately on a bit of a hiatus from extraneous purchases, sigh.

Thank you for sharing those skin tones! I did not know that there are 4 skin tones at TbLeague... was only aware of pale an suntan. So these additional ones are actually new, right?


Thank you also for the interesting discussion on the S46/47. I too find their neck too long, but this is sometimes exasserbated by the heads, some of them have very shallow connectors and are designed for shorter necks. I was, however, able to use a few heads which work well with these long-neck bodies.

In any case, Happy Holidays to all of you!

Once again, but in full size and all together with the additional comparison overview per skin tone:

I did a thing... I put all suntan bodies into one chart with accurate sizes relative to each other.

With adjustment for S53:

Wow, awesome work! Well done, and thank you for this!

Awesome job, Diana.

Thank you very much, Diana, very nicely done. I will look into integrating or linking this to the front page.

Thanks as well, Diana! I saved that to my computer. That said, did anyone else notice that there is an almost 2cm difference between the S43 (28.3cm) and S53 (26.5cm)? I have the S42, S52 and S53 and I can tell ya, that isn't anywhere close to true. Maybe a 0.2cm difference, but not that much. I wonder if they typo'd on it?

Thanks, extremely useful.

Wow thanks so much, MMI & Diana!
So S53 is shorter than S43. I thought 53 was the same specs as the Amazonian 43 except with removable-feet.

That was my biggest realization, too.
It's 3mm shorter than the S17B and the S23B, which used to be the tallest amazons before the S43B came along.

Sooooo, about this...I am convinced that this is a typo on TBL's chart. The S42 (and family) and the S52 (and family) are the same height (albeit a slightly different sculpt at the neck). When they put these measurements out, I thought "that's wrong, I have both the 42 and 52 and I would have noticed that kind of difference."

Well, I finally got around to taking the photos to show what I mean. S42 is the censored one, S52 is the one in the white "one piece." There is no way there is a 2cm difference (maybe 2mm if you wanted to make a case).

Now, if TBL wanted to make the 52 at the 26.5cm height, I would buy soooooo many of them...

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this. With so many bodies at play (or balls in the air), one can easily get lost in the variant details.

Oh no!! Bummer. In your shots the S52A actually looks TALLER than the S43B! 
That's a shame. I'll correct the image asap.

Right??? I would have loved it at that height!

I would put them at the same height honestly. Angles are everything and I did not do a good job of making sure everything was perfect, just close enough. They were laying down too, which makes exact positioning a little difficult as well. In hand, they are the same, save some sculpting differences in the neck region.

I bought a TBLeague S38 because of the legs and hips. The waist I scarved, the large breasts cut off (will not be visible under her dress, long arms, short skir). Now I need to make the shouldes narrower (and maybe the arms slimmer). Any idea how to do it? Thanks.

What is the difference between these two buxom bodies? I need especially thigh circumference, waist, and shoulder size. Thank you.

S28-29 is medium breasted, less curvaceous, and a little taller (about 27.5 cm by my measurement, with head).
S38-39 is large breasted, more curvaceous, and a little shorter (about 27 cm by my measurement, with head).

Precise measurements for the S38-39 body can be found HERE.

The S23 is still one of my favourites. The upper body is shaped beautifully. 

I am looking for a non slender body and think that the TBL Phicen S23B (suntan) - the figure on the right - would be suitable if not too tall. What is its height? Thank you.
