TB League S37B Pale (Anime body & Head Sculpt) First pics

Thank you for the concise review. It does seem to be well done for what it is. Personally, like many others, I'm more interested in TBLeague producing more realistic bodies, but it is nice to see them do a good job for this genre, too.

The only weak spot on this figure is the eyes, which don't have either the gloss and depth of the eyes on my other sculpts. They have a Barbie like quality about them.

Maybe that's on purpose, this being anime style?

I would think more likely to keep the cost down. The size and shape are right. They just don't seem to be up to the standards we've come to expect in the 2020's.

I wonder if the eyes would respond well to a dab of gloss varnish?

This is one of my favorite TBLeague body sculpts. Having proportions more in line with a "fashion doll," some clothing items from "playline" dolls (Barbie etcetera) will fit, which offers more options at a lower price for costuming. Also, the figure looks less bulky when dressed than do the full-sized figures.

Finding aftermarket heads that scale properly with this body presents a challenge. I've found that some of the YMToys heads work fairly well.

I'm glad you got one. It will be entertaining, I'm sure, to see what character emerges. She's already looking promising!

She'll mostly be appearing doing nudies on MWD After Dark for now. I've already painted her nurples using the Gundam Marker technique found in Gubernatorfan's many body painting tutorials. I've take off her bikini as just the stress of having it on for a while can break the straps apparently. It seems most fashion doll clothing is made for small-busted figures, which this one is not, so one way or the other, it will be a bit of a challenge to find or modify clothing to fit her.

While it's not really my thing, I think it might at least be a bit of an improvement from one of their earlier anime bodies. Hard to tell though without a direct comparison.

The style of the eyes is definitely because it's an anime figure. As we were discussing on a different thread, it's common for certain styles of dolls to have non-glossy eyes.
