They're er... a departure, at least.


Kind of.

It's not terrible or anything, but man I wish TBLeague would work with their old partners again. Zenescope and...is it ARH or Executive Replicas? Both ARH and ER websites seem to have a lot of overlap on the old licensed Phicen/TBL figures listed in their archives. Anyway, TBL should work with licensed properties again, let those artists design the figures lol.

GeeWillikers


There are some nice little accessories for kitbashing, I suppose, but I've no interest in either set as a whole. And if I did, I'd expect at least some semblance of realism to them (yeah I know, it's TBL).

And I should probably give up wishing for anything approaching an accurate skintone.

I can usually find some kitbash appeal in their sculpts, but these are severely limited by the warpaint.


A surprising number of complaints on BBICN about the lack of a hefty and expensive base with these (and the Ghost Soldiers). Seems like there is no pleasing everybody (or indeed anybody).

Yeah, this gets a big yikes from me. A headdress like that is sacred regalia and paired with the rest of the outfit it’s in tremendous bad taste. Definitely Halloween costume level of cringe.

That said, the accessories are actually really nice and they’d suit a fantasy bash really nicely.

Bigbadtoystore not selling them?

As usual, I think I’ll wait to see how they look in hand before making my final call.

EDIT:  I took another look at the white version, and I’m guessing she’s from the Netherlands and heading over to see her team play in the qualifying rounds of the World Cup after her photo shoot.  Maybe she’s going with Lexi.  😉
It's not out of the question Smile I'm seriously considering PO-ing them (and that would be a first for me).

Apparently not... yet. If I were you, I would look at Giantoy:

I just want the white version’s head sculpt.  Can I safely use a dab of acetone to get the “war paint” off her cheeks, or is that a big no-no in 1/6th?

I wonder if that’s a conscientious objection, if they’re thinking of getting out of the TBLeague line (not much from the past year has sold through), or it’s just some random thing with no real thought process behind it.

You could, but it looks like there’s some subtle airbrushed blush and paintwork on top of the raw resin so it would probably leave you with really obvious ‘blank’ areas unfortunately.

It's (culturally) interesting to speculate whether BBTS has some specific sensitivity or resistance causing them to pass on these. They're certainly not getting out of the TBLeague line, the four items of Nephthys went up at BBTS routinely after they apparently skipped these. I don't remember whether up to now BBTS carried all of TBL automatically. Maybe it's cultural sensitivity; maybe it's lack of market confidence in the theme; maybe it's random. If some solid routine customer of BBTS asked them about wanting these, I wonder if they'd say anything.

On close examination (of B at least) it also looks like the 'warpaint' is actually part of the mould of the sculpt. Shocked

It would have been much better if they'd just offered the warpaint as some kind of transfer/decal.


And it's only a small detail in the bizarre grand scheme of these sets, but I just can't get over those painted fingernails. Laughing

Here's basically what bigbadtoystore said.

"we typically have to await an official solicit from the manufacturer in order to offer an item on our website. The major brands are almost always offered, so it is just a matter of time before you might see those listings."

just received this. Nothing too difficult to setup. Got some room to play with the figure (means not everything put on), quite a number of accessories, same as promo picts as always. I thought that the feathers were soft, but no.

almost forgot about the arm bands and wrists guard. And the knife.

She looks a bit bored. The feathered being resin probably to be expected but there was still hope for sth more real.

tbleague is always fast with their releases, aren't they?

So I took her home for shelter Very Happy I think she's a great figure. She could have a bit more expression though, as Valiarde mentioned, she looks a bit bored. Also her skirt tends to crawl up (and iit's already short). I may need to sow it to her panties with a few stitches. She'd probably also look better with straight instead of curly hair. I wonder if I could straighten it up by washing it.

And I'm a bit sorry I didn't get the white as well.

I would never use acetone on a 1/6 scale hard plastic head. I learned from experience that it will melt the plastic. pale

Thanks.
Not for this shoot, maybe even not at all.

I also didn't put on all her accessories, I left out one necklace (she seemed a bit overloaded with three and the strings of tooths), the waist/hipband with teeth and the arrows. The last because they'd surely fall out of the holder.

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing! If you want to straighten hair, dip the hair in hot water and then comb out and it should straighten out nicely. You may consider washing it before with a bit of conditioner as well.

Thank you. First attempt with just hot water didn't have much effect. They must have used some product to keep the hair in shape. I'll try again later with washing it with conditioner first.

Thank you too, I like taking them outside for pics, also because indoors I'm limited regarding lighting and space (so I don't have backdrops).

Great pics shared in this thread! I do agree with member's opinions on these Mohegan figures, for instance I do wish they reflected real life Native Americans more so than how TBL chose to depict these, but nevertheless I think they’re still solid figures.

Admittedly I picked up the Brown Ver. since, well it’s the closest thing to the character Naru from Prey (2022) I could find. I haven’t opened mine, but did pick up the main outfit and some of the accessories when they were parted out and put it on an S23 body I had. I used the White Ver. head on my put together figure and I think she looks pretty good Smile Just as with P/TBL products, I’m impressed with the overall quality.

Nice photos, Zurdoz, as usual. And I agree, while TBLeague's design is often questionable, the quality tends to be very good.
