I remember back when the Cy Girls were first released, I was so excited to finally see some cool looking female figures and immediately went out and bought Kat, the only one that looked kinda military with her camo outfit. I eventually bought a few others, with their somewhat ridiculous space outfits and all, but my fave was always Kat. Eventually they all ended up in boxes in a closet, and a few years ago I ended up selling them all on ebay, including Kat. But I kept the camo bits, thinking maybe someday I'll do a bash that lives up to the "cool" girl promise that those figures didn't quite deliver (see what I did there? 
)
Well, now that I have a bunch of spare TBLeague bodies left over from experimenting for the Yae project, I decided now was the time. The somewhat voluptuous s29b seemed perfect. I also had some leftover bits from way back in that Cy Girls era: weapons, holsters, etc. that I either couldn't sell or decided to keep.
First, here's how my original Kat looked before I took her apart and sold her body (hmm... that doesn't sound right!
):
Actually this was my ebay pic for the figure, which nobody wanted. But somebody did want this:
strange, huh?
Here's my new version. Please be aware this is rather R rated so if suggestive sheer clothing bothers you, please avert your gaze. If you're under 17, please leave the page!
Headsculpt is Kimi Kt011; I didn't do my usual full cut but I did wash and restyle the hair, and cut some bits of stray unruly locks. I believe all the gear and weapons are 21C, and I think much of it is from the female figure they did back in those days, some sort of "villain" called Matilda or something. That figure was pretty crap, weirdest body I'd ever seen, bad sculpt, crappy clothing, but the gear and weapons were pretty cool, including some sort of assassin's weapon in a case. Boots are Vicky's Secret. Beret is also VS. Sling is some tactical single point thing I got loose, not sure what brand (there are so many!). The bodystocking is actually a thing of beauty. Although these pics don't show it too well, they are actually seamless like real pantyhose (unlike basically all other 1/6 brands of stockings/pantyhose which have a seam running down each leg), and are stretchy like the real thing too. In fact, it's like someone took a 1/6 shrink ray and zapped a real pair of sheer pantyhose. In the right light and from a foot away or more, they look really sheer without much texture. Get too close and you can see the weave and they look a bit more like fishnets. And they are really tough too, they can survive my rough nails and the extreme tugging needed to get onto those bodies without a run or snag! (trust me, I've ruined too many of my own to count!
). The brand is Fire Girl, and these come in different colors as well, including nude, white, etc. I believe they also make a pair of regular pantyhose too.
Quick note about the 29b body: While I really appreciate the more realistic proportions (her legs are much more realistic and shorter, and her arms and hips are much more fleshy like a typical, albeit fit, woman), I've had some real problems with the shoulder and elbow joints on these. Unlike the other leaner types I have (23b, 19b), these shoulder joints easily get out of whack and get locked the wrong way, and I end up having to rotate the heck out of the arm to get it back into normal position. Also, the elbow joint gets loose very quickly and does not hold or stay in position like my other TBLs. So, something about these skeletons seem different (I have two and they both do the same thing). The rest of the body is fine.
Anyway, hope you old-timers enjoy this trip down memory lane! For those of you who are newer to the hobby, it's probably just a cheesy bash with crappy looking gear.
