Making Chasitity

Are there official heads for Phicen or TBLeague I can buy instead from other companies.

You could try dropping the neck connector in a mug of boiling water, leave for about 30 sections, fish out with a spoon, then push it on the ball connector. I've had this problem a few times.
The other problem I often get is when the inner connector is fitted and the head pushed on, The head still sits to high. For this, I cut a few mm off the top of the inner plastic cap to seat the head better.
Being new to the hobby, it's a lot of trial and error, but thankfully, there is usually someone who has the answer! Let's us know how you get on .

I was assuming the inside neck connector was stuck inside the head.

You could well be right Ian, I never thought of that?

The only time I've encountered a head that wouldn't fit, and it didn't have a removable inner connector was Zona. One of my Gemini twins. To combat this, I drilled into the head to the size of the phicen neck connector. It is a slow process, as you don't want to go to deep, but it can be done.

I'm planning on an update on this soon. My main issue is to still find the right head.

Here's a comic I actually bought:



She didn't have that costume in the comic, but wore a leather bikini and a trenchcoat. I have a trenchcoat, but will use the clothing I found.

Ymtoys does some nice short haired heads, although they are on the smaller side. here's ym 84b

When it comes to bodies and finding the right one, it can be difficult. What you see on screen compared to what to get in hand does not always work out.
I know from experience, as 3 times i have ordered a body only to return it - i returned 2, sold 1 (at cost)

I think I found the right head, hopefully it'll work out.

Trying to create a specific character can be maddening, even with all of the clothing, accessories, head sculpts, and bodies available.   I wish there was a little more standardization in the hobby, but with so many companies producing 1/6 items, it’s a miracle that anything matches.

My advice based on my own experience, is to try to capture the essence of the character rather than trying to stay true to her comic book look.  If you can look at the figure and know in your own mind that it’s Chasity, you’re good.

I think the head that csyeung suggestion would make a great Chasity! I love the red eyes!

I agree.

Sorry. I haven't updated this post in a while. I've been reevaluating the head and body sculpt to make Chasitity since the last few attempts to find the right head and body have failed in my opinion.

What type of body do you want her to have? if you don't mind me asking?

I'm still figuring out exactly what I want to do.

I'm waiting to here some news concerning different things before getting back to this.
