These are quite large, and they match a pale skintone.

Thank you too, I've been thinking about this head, it could also be a good choice.
Something with slightly fuller lips would be nice too.

Hey folks!
I'm building a customized Phicen figure of a female IDF soldier that I've seen in a Youtube video.
The 1/1 original is firing her M-40 on a shooting range wearing nothing but red IDF combat boots, tight pants, a tight white belly free tanktop and ear protectors.

(the scene with my girl is very short, but you'll recognise her if you watch closely)

I have everything I need for the project with only one exception: the EAR PROTECTORS
I tried to find a pair on Ebay but it was in vain.
Maybe one of you guys can help me get them?

Shalom Alehem and thanks in advance,
ben_kadeesh

I know that some of the Power Team figures come with ear protectors and I know there was this Chris Costa "Range Day" figure that also came with them and I did see them on ebay awhile back. My Alternative suggestion would be to get one of those Radio Headsets like the one from the Easy & Simple PMC and use it as a stand if for the ear guards.

I also found these, maybe they work: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274773706279?hash=item3ff9ca0627:g:biIAAOSwX1dghhIs

So, I am looking for a "heroic" looking male headsculpt, you know, something that looks chiseled/grizzled and would fit an action hero or super spy and something that would work with the bigger TBLeauge bodies. I know there are a ton of actor heads out there but I was looking for something that is a bit stylized maybe. Any ideas/suggestions?

Thank you, Zero!
Two of the links you posted show the perfect parts for my project. Alas the sellers charge ridiculously high shipping fees for such tiny items.

I really need to find some plain fists (no gloves) for Android 18 who’s on the TBLeague S10D pale body. All that body comes with is one pair of relaxed hands. I see plenty of nice hand sets on eBay, especially from Vicky Secret, with just about everything you could possibly want except closed fists. Most of these girls are skilled fighters. Don’t they ever punch anyone?

Any suggestions?

From what I can recall, VeryCool bodies like this one come with closed fists:

Thanks, but will those work on a TBLeague body?  I see the VC body comes with adapter pegs of some sort, so are all of the different brands made to be interchangeable?

Also, sorry about starting a new topic. I completely forgot to use this thread even though I follow it, so thanks to the mods for moving my post over here where it belongs.

Damn newbies.

No worries. I bought a loose VC body to check it out (I don't usually invest in open-jointed hard plastic female bodies, been spoiled by TBLeague and Jiaou too much), and have no fists to look at, but the regular relaxed hands. I don't see why they wouldn't work with TBLeague bodies. The difference is that traditional bodies work with removable wrist pegs (which actually allow a slightly greater articulation, but can also be a problem and snap). VC is no exception, but what counts is that the hole in the actual hand sculpt is about the same as the hole in the TBLeague hand sculpt. I think they are identical. If there is a very small difference, it will probably not affect functionality. The VC hand sculpts appear to be slightly harder plastic, so perhaps heating them up with a hair dryer (or hot water) will be even more helpful than usual when trying to put them on or get them off. I snapped a quick photo.

That’s weird.  Kerr’s peg looks like this...which I’m sure didn’t help with the Floppy Hand Syndrome caused by her gloves/sleeves.



Let me see if one of her fists will work.

Hmmm...apparently they do.





So now let’s see if I can find a some pale VC hands without having to buy an entire body.

That is pretty standard but there may be slight variation between pegs and pegs and holes and holes. (Did I actually write this? LOL Get your minds out of the gutter, people!) If the fit is too loose, wrap a little bit electrical tape around the peg or interpose a little flat elastic cord.

Just checked -- the PopToys Xing body also has closed fists, but I can't remember at the moment if they would be compatible with tbleague.

Good call on the PopToys Xing. I haven’t found anyone selling just the hands and not the whole body, but someone will eventually. Or, I can go with these...

...and take the fingernail paint off with some acetone. (I double checked, and as I suspected, Android 18 isn’t a painted fingernails kind of girl. )

I found a set of pale hands with two fists and no painted nails at Black Ops Toys:



Apparently they come from a Very Cool Toys WWII Chinese 18th Army female medical soldier figure. This was a good shopping day at Black Ops!

So I’m thinking of picking up the Phicen Red Riding Hood figure as I’m enjoying the Grimm Fairy Tales comics she’s based on. I read this excellent review, and it seems this figure was released before Phicen/TBLeague switched over to the metal skeleton.

https://www.onesixthwarriors.com/threads/phicen-little-red-riding-hood-photo-review.798681/post-4121651

That conversation took place five years ago, so with all the bodies TBLeague has released since then, is upgrading any easier?

I know there’s a similar (but not as accurate to the comics) third party Red Riding Hood outfit readily available right now, so if those old Phicen bodies are that cringeworthy (based on other threads I’ve read through), and I really can’t move her to an upgraded body, I suppose I could go that route.

I have that figure, but she hasn’t been moved since I first got her. The head sculpt and body are “Tan” (sadly, a tone they no longer make — very much peach/orange in skin color). An upgrade, as you said, wouldn’t work — and yes, the bodies are that bad. I snapped one n half at the torso, and the mid-bicep (same figure), as they are really impossible to get into and out of more natural poses like the bodies they make since they moved to all steel skeletons. You’d be better off getting the newer outfit, and bashing your own.

Thanks, Mark. I really appreciate the feedback. You just saved me a lot of money and even more headaches!

Okay I am looking for some clothing items that fir the M35 body by TB League, I need a blue jeans, red muscle shirt and also fitting boots, either military style combat boots or biker style boots.

I was also wondering what pistol holsters are large enough to accommodate a Desert Eagle or similar large pistols.

The main reason I post this here is because I need some trustworthy sellers for those.

They’re suntan.  Boo!!   Oh, well.  Cara (Villa) can have them.

The search for fists for Android 18 goes on. Someone will put them out eventually.

You could always repaint them?

Nah. I’m just not a painter. I’m never happy with the results and they tend not to hold up. Someone will come out with pale fists eventually.

Oh, ok, fair enough. ^.^

Hey folks,

I've been looking for the Liesel Van Helsing head sculpt, but she's sold out everywhere. Does anybody have her, or a suggestions to an alternative head sculpt that is similar? I'm making a custom mini-me. Thanks.

This is the only one I’ve seen. Phicen figures from 2015 and 2016 are very tough to find in general, at least at anything remotely resembling a reasonable price.

That’s actually not unreasonable a price for that head sculpt — all things considered in this day and age.

No, the price of the head sculpt isn’t bad at all. It’s the prices of the complete boxed figures I was referring to...like the $650 La Muerta that went up last week.

Thanks so much Xavion2004!

Say does anyone know where I can find the ASTOYS AS024 1/6 US army Vietnam War tiger stripes suit? Its a Tiger Stripe uniform with the Slanted Pockets and came out a few years ago but I cant find it anymore

I found this, but Aliexpress is like a box of chocolates. Might be your best shot, though.

AS024

For those unfamiliar with tha “box of chocolates” expression, I mean that some Aliexpress vendors are good and some aren’t.
