I hope you enjoyed the goofiness. And one does not need specially-designed c-shaped pieces to achieve this, as you can stuff other materials in a similar fashion with similar effect (foamies, rolled up strips of plastic lids/treys, etc).

Part I

This will eventually be placed in the Tutorials section.

What do the following four head sculpts have in common? I mean, other than their sex and arguably enviable looks. Smile

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp0110

They are all partly repainted to match the TBLeague bodies that carry them. In the first three instances these are Hot Toys sculpts, and between the expense of procuring them and the excellence of the detail, my repaint is very subtle, essentially a thin film to lessen the gap between the slightly lighter and cooler skin tone of the original sculpts and the the quite tan TBLeague body. In the fourth instance my repaint was a little less subtle, for various reasons.

Sometimes you get lucky with a head sculpt matching the body right out of the box, like this HY gladiator John Cena. Sometimes you do not, like this Dragon Sam Worthington (which also required quite a lot of modification to fit bodies with integral necks like DAM, TBLeague, etc).

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp0210

It is this last head sculpt that I have been meaning to repaint for quite a while, but its pale and yellowish skin tone is so big a contrast that it was going to take something more than the very subtle repaints I normally give head sculpts. Here it is again, compared to the slightly repainted Hot Toys Chris Pratt.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp0310

Here is what we need: several acrylic colors (I prefer Vallejo) to mix to approximate the TBLeague suntan skin tone (in this instance), and some Liquitex Professional Ultra Matte Medium (thanks, Sky!) to keep the paint from curing too shiny.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp0410

The mix that I find works well in approximating the TBLeague male suntan skin tone (as used for M31 to M36A) is cork brown with lesser amounts of dark vermillion, iraqui sand, and leather brown. I also used some burnt umber and German black brown (not shown) for some darker details on the face. Lip color (the bane of my repainting experience) was achieved by mixing dark vermillion, cork brown, ivory, and some blue. It came out a little fresh, but is pretty close to the reference photo I used. I could probably have used even more Liquitex matte medium (which appears white in the photo).

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp0510

I mixed the matte medium and the acrylic paint thoroughly to achieve an even color with a toothpick.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp0610

Then I tested how the resulting color compares with the body's skin tone. Since it was close enough, I proceeded to paint the ears and the area between the hairline and the edge of the back of the head. Since these areas will sit right next to the neck, and since (except for the ears themselves) they form a notionally separate surface than the face, I was not worried about making the paint application particularly thin or transparent here. I think the match is pretty close (keep in mind that light, screen settings, and individual perception would vary). Here I should point out that a proper head sculpt paint (or repaint) job would involve stripping the original paint (if any) by dipping in acetone, etc., and starting with thin layers from scratch. My approach is more basic and less ambitious, essentially a touch up. Given the great disparity between the skin tone of the head sculpt and what I needed to match, that was not necessarily the best strategy in this case. But anyway...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp0710

After this, using a fine brush (except for painting tiny details you don't actually need to use a 000 micro brush) with plenty of water, I applied some of the mixed paint onto the face, and then proceed to spread it as a thin layer with a cotton q-tip. In fact, I did not use enough water or start with a small enough area, and while I was fiddling with the camera it began to dry faster than I could attend to it properly with the cotton swab. That is why I had to do some damage control, which provides the occasion of noting that you might want to have a little container with alcohol standing by, so that you can quickly fix any errors by wiping them away with another q-tip dipped in it.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp0810

Repeating this in other areas to cover the face, largely avoiding any fine details I was trying to preserve (like the eyebrows and the eyes), I covered everything that needed to be covered. Panting in thin layers produces an initial dirty and somewhat uneven effect, which is one of several reasons why you would want to go for a second or third layer. I still wanted a little bit of translucency to the skin, but between damage control and the stark contrast between the original and desired skin tone, that was not going to be very noticeable on this particular experiment. While I am not necessarily done tinkering with it, the result is this.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp0910

The dark line over the eyes (which is there in the reference photos I used) is much less obvious and less fake looking in hand than in the macro photos. While I do feel I have lost a little bit of the fine subtle detail of the original paint job (as I expected in this instance), I think the result is passable and, as far as matching the body's skin tone is concerned, successful.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp1010

Lighting makes a big difference in perception, so there are a few more images.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Hmrp1110

Finally, this time I did remember to take before and after photos (there is hope for us all!), although I had to resort to some color manipulation to make them properly comparable due to somehow different light conditions.

TBLeague Anubis 1/12 Scale Review - Fri Mar 26, 2021 10:06 am

Here's the god of death, Anubis, in TBLeague 1/12 scale. Ever since I first saw him, I knew I wanted to get him. Very cool, badass looking god! I love all the fine details of his costume, plus he scales well with Figuarts toys!

I had this for a few weeks, and meant to review it; and, of course, was inspired to goof around with the subject. Seeing it parted out yesterday made me finally process the photos, so here it is. I tried it out on a TBLeague (formerly Phicen) M33 body, for which it was not designed. To my surprise it fit quite well -- and no stains! The only thing is, as someone pointed out previously (Sky?), M33's arms appear to be a bit on the long side (I always thought it was the slightly short legs -- sans ankle extenders -- that made them appear so). Well, this shows here. But otherwise, a pretty good fit. It would fit perfectly on a conventional hard-plastic visibly-jointed body -- and if you are going to be putting the jacket on it, you might as well use that. But if you will expose the elbows by using just the t-shirt, the length of the M33 arms becomes less of an issue. And before anyone points it out, Ant-Man's quantum whatever let him travel to the Star Wars universe and get a realistic seamless arm and hand... Smile

The Winter Soldier clothing set by Top Toys is pretty simple but well-made. It includes the head sculpt (a decent likeness of Sebastian Stan, though certainly not the best), black shoes (for ankle pegs), black pants, a dark blue t-shirt, and a blue leather-like jacket. Anything else you see in the images below did not come from the set. (And nothing in the parody that follows came from this set.)

The beautiful interior is borrowed from a chance find online, the work of the amazing Marek Okon. Look him up and enjoy his masterpieces.

This first post is about the Jiaou Doll Strong Male Body (12D); comparisons with all three Jiaou Doll male bodies in Post 27 below; additional comparisons in Post 70 below; new Jiaou Doll Male Body (17A) and comparisons in Post 78 below; all four Jiaou Doll male bodies compared below HERE.

Since there has been much discussion, on and off, about the skintone, body shape, durability, and articulation of Jiaou Doll bodies, and since I had a couple of 12D bodies lying around that I hadn't done much with, I thought I'd do a short comparison review. As it happened, (at first) I only had TBLeague's most massive body, M35, handy without being fully kitted-up at the moment, so the comparison is not going to be necessarily fair -- except insofar as comparing the most muscular male Jiaou Body with the most muscular male TBLeague body. The specific Jiaou Doll bodies shown here are JOK-12D-BS and JOK-12D-PS (the product number is sometimes also broken down as JO-K12D- etc.).

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Jdtbm010

Obviously, M35 is more muscular by far than the 12D bodies. M35 is also an example of the usual male "suntan" skintone used by TBLeague, which is darker than Jiaou's male "wheaten" skintone (on 12D-BS) and warmer than Jiaou's "black" or "dark" skintone (on 12D-PS). Yes, the description is hard to believe. In most aspects of articulation M35 and 12D are comparable, but this is in part due to M35's muscles keeping it from reaching the slightly fuller range of articulation possible with TBLeague bodies. Keep in mind that while you can press and hold these bodies into more stretched/bent poses, what you see in the photos are the poses they can actually hold on their own.

A closer comparison to Jiaou's 12D body would be TBLeague's very first seamless male body, M30. I managed to dig up an M30 eventually, and added it with a few more comparison shots. M30 is notoriously short and a greyish sort of pale. The skintone makes it somewhat comparable to Jiaou's 12D-PS (of all things!), although if Jiaou was inspired by M30, it fixed the issue with the height. While some of the musculature is comparable, M30 is still more muscular, if slightly less defined, after all (look at the biceps, from the side). Being less muscular than M35, M30 can reach a slightly fuller range of articulation (the leaner bodies, M31, M32, M33 can do even more).

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Jdtbm111

Apart from being more muscular than their previous versions, the 12D bodies have slightly improved the shape of the seamless legs -- previously they looked to me like they were wearing leg-shaped pants over the actual legs. This is a little better now, but another problem persists: Jiaou Doll male bodies still look to me like they have wide, child-bearing hips.

This is not a full review, but in terms of accessories (not shown above), you would have the following:
TBLeague male bodies typically come with a total of 3 swappable pairs of hands (usually fists, relaxed hands, and grip hands), 1 pair of swappable feet, and 2-3 swappable pieces of genitalia (but 0 in the case of M31); some models had trunks or underwear and other pieces of clothing to cover wrists and ankles (except M30, M31, M35, M36); the hands tend to be relatively soft plastic that is easy to bend as needed;
Jiaou Doll male bodies typically come with a total of 4 swappable pairs of hands (fists, relaxed hands, knife grip hands, gun grip hands), 2 swappable pairs of feet (flat and slightly bent toes for walking -- not used above), and 5 swappable pieces of genitalia (not counting the tiny molded part on the body); some models had underwear and other pieces of clothing to cover wrists and ankles; there is a plastic display stand -- all of this is the case with 12D; the hands tend to be relatively hard pieces of plastic with less in the way of individual finger sculpting.

I hope this has been helpful. What do you think?

There are plenty of threads where we have used TBLeague bodies. For more on M35, you can check out the massive review HERE; I used an M30 for my first custom Darth Maul, HERE. And, of course, there are always the reference photos for all of those in the TBLeague seamless body catalog, HERE.

Part I: Brunette Varna

Since there was some interest (and sorry if I disappoint), I finally dug out some of my old female fantasy warriors photos, did some reformatting, and uploaded them here.

Pieces from parted-out sets came together in a sort of semi-spontaneous kitbash, completed with some leather and paint work on my part. Since this was neither the film nor the comic book Red Sonja, I decided to provisionally call her Brunette Varna (sounded better than Brown or Auburn, and in the film Red Sonja has a sister named Varna), and I wanted to fit her out in a manner that would somewhat diminish the cliche scantilly-clad effect. Of course, in retrospect, this means I shouldn't have used the scale armor (which is nothing more than a fantasy rationalization of a modern swimsuit). I used black leather for better contrast with the silverish metal, and in retrospect this, too, might have been a mistake, as the result is a tad punkish/bikerish/dominatrix-ish. But I did stay away from the fantasy high-heeled boots, at least. Smile

I arranged my photos into a mini photo essay below, complete with a little lame basic story to connect them. Hope you like it.

Brunette Varna in the Red Canyon

Once upon a time, Brunette Varna was riding through the Canyon of the Crescent Moon, when she heard some suspicious noises...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv0110

Rather than gallop off to the relative safety of the open plain, she dismounted her horse and got ready to take on her unseen enemy...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv0210

The noise got closer and closer, but, undaunted, she prepared to stand her ground.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv0310

Bring it on, she thought...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv0410

Come out and get me!

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv0510

Getting closer...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv0610

And there he was... An uncouth, fur-clad barbarian, growling in uncivilized gibberish, and advancing on his prey... after all, she was only a woman... so what if she had fancy armor and weapons...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv0710

Little did he know that Hell hath no fury like an underestimated educated woman (especially one educated in the arts of war and equipped with superior weaponry). The predator became easy prey to Varna's skilled wrath. Within mere seconds he was on his ass in the sand, begging for mercy (who dresses like that on a first date anyway?)...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv0810

Varna did show mercy, but also decided to be practical and arrest her dastardly opponent (why not make some money while you can?). After all, did not wise master Bindusara always say, "Seize the opportunity presented!" So she tossed him a long chain and made him entangle himself in it, until securely bound...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv0910

He still grunted and growled in disagreement, but a few choice words of practical reason (and some stern looks and gestures with the battle axe) kept her prisoner on the leash, as it were...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv1010

Never letting her captive out of her sight, Varna began to secure the chain around her horse's saddle...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv1110

So off they went, Varna riding proudly on her stallion, the dumbfounded and bound barbarian dragging along on his chain. She had reached into the darkness and come out with treasure, or at least a few pieces of silver, the price for her would-be conqueror...

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Bv1210

Ever the pious one, Varna took some time on her journey to thank the gods. While her captive was snoring, she drank a toast to the Lord of the Heavens from her handy drinking horn, and she ritually re-dedicated her longsword to Him in thanksgiving. A blessed sword would, after all, be all the more effective against any enemy...

I got a few of the pieces from the Art Figure Dark Furyan set. And when I say a few, I mean a lot. Of course I used a TBLeague seamless body instead, an M34, and I think it worked out pretty well. The first six images are where I tried to be more artistic (though I think I ended up with a videogame feel). Check out the translucent lenses in the third photo. And note that although the promotional images did not show that, the eyes are reflective silverish to imitate the glowing effect in the film; perhaps they should have made them a little more bluish, but they work well. Since I didn't get this as a complete set, it is not a review. The remaining photos are reference shots, some of them the same as the ones in the "artistic images", some different, that are intended to show the whole body from different angles for more information.

Extra photos in Post 16 and Post 27.

Introduction: I knew it to be yet another fantasy figure by TBLeague (formerly Phicen), though perhaps not as egregiously sexploitative as some others, and thought I would be able to keep from buying the set. Perhaps I should have. But I didn't. Since this is an entirely fantasy character with little to compare to in terms of (known/recognizable) source evidence, I'm adopting a simpler format and will provide the score for the various categories at the end, following the brief comments and photos.

The figure comes in what appears to be the standard TBLeague packaging, in which the sides of the lid are attached by magnets, and you remove what is essentially a triptych. Some other companies (like DID) print images on the inside that you can use as backdrops for your figure. TBLeague continues to miss this opportunity. Otherwise, the packaging is perfect, with collector-friendly foam treys and nothing out of place. The product box ships inside a cardboard shipper with some information printed on it, and the logo for the product. If you are getting this from another retailer, it will probably be concealed in their shipping box.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Tblbar11

Here is the figure as it comes out of the box -- I have only attached the head. So far, so good, everything is functional and it looks like it is supposed to, according to the promotional photos.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Tblbar12

The sculpting is exquisite throughout the items that make up the set, from the head sculpt to the detail on the pieces of armor. It is a different matter whether one likes the head sculpt or the style of decoration and detail -- but the quality is top notch, as we have come to expect from TBLeague in this respect. The paint job is also excellent, with both precise fine details (like the eyebrows) and weathered treatment of the armor receiving the specific kinds of attention they deserved. Add to this the finely executed (perhaps too finely for a barbarian!) nordic-looking tattoo on the right (camera left) side of the chest. The head sculpt is a reasonably close match for the skin tone of the body (which is M35, I think), especially in hand, but there it does look a little warmer/darker.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Tblbar13

Note the tattoo on the right side of the back of the head. It is also finely executed, if sometimes partly concealed by the hair. The earrings are metal hops which can be adjusted.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Tblbar14

The accessories you would have to put on the figure yourself include the molded greaves, the modled vambraces, and the two different molded shoulder guards, as well as a system of three skulls hanging from different leather (or pleather) straps tied together. The vambraces and greaves match with each other, and all these pieces also feature one or more skull design. These are all nicely executed and appropriately weathered, but bother me to no end, in part because of how well they approach realism in all respects but one. The problem is size: except for the main skull on the shoulder guard that goes over the right shoulder, which is oversized, all the skull designs are undersized -- and so undersized that you would have difficulty pretending that even the skulls hanging from the straps belong to shrunken heads. I like my fantasy a little more plausible. The way to do this well, if they were going to be so skull-crazy in the first place, would have been to make any realistic skulls realistically-sized, and the rest a more abstract design, as if they had been carved as decorations out of bone by a barbarian culture. Then there is the single weapon accessory, the axe. It is a very impressive and finely executed piece, no doubt, but utterly preposterous in its design and size. Every aspect of it is implausible or impractical, to the point where it simply doesn't work very well with what is otherwise a relatively realistically proportioned and featured character; if it had been stylized, perhaps it might have been fine.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Tblbar15

As far as other wearable accessories go, the helmet is a piece of art. The horns are made to look like bone or possibly wood, with reinforcing meal tips and bands, and a series of helmet plates lines its surface; to the bottom is attached a section of "chain" mail to protect the neck. The front of the helmet is reminiscent of a faux Corinthian style, with a noseguard dividing the opening for the eyes and a narrow slit dividing the lower face over the mouth. While its "chain" mail (like the "chain" mail skirt) is made of a sort of fabric material, the helmet is molded in relatively thin and somewhat flexible plastic, which makes it pretty easy -- and safe -- to slide onto and off of the head. Well done, if quite fantastical. The same cannot be said for the shoulder guards. Besides their questionable visual design (what with mis-sized skulls and oversized spikes), these suffer in terms of functional design. There are four of push buttons sown onto the leather (or pleather) harness worn by the figure, which are supposed to attach to corresponding pieces inside the shoulder guards. While it was difficult enough to attach the hooks and straps of the greaves and vambraces and to slide them over the faux fur sleeves, snapping the shoulder guards onto these push buttons was well-nigh impossible, even after plenty of time and effort. In the end I succeeded in connecting one of each pair of push buttons, which made it possible to take a few photos for the review (by this point I realized that I will never want to use them again after this). I should also point out that the molded pieces of armor have a light, powder blue underside, an unfortunate choice when parts of those are exposed, as you might be able to see in some of the photos.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Tblbar16

When I put the cloak on the figure, the spikey shoulder guard unsnapped and I could not get it attached again. What to do with a detached shoulder guard? How about this?

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Tblbar17

Or this? Actually either of these looks more plausible than the way it was intended to be used.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Tblbar18

But I suppose I will leave it to the side for now. At any rate, here is the figure with the cloak on. It is a tattered cloak with a fur-lined collar area. To put it on you have to remove the head. The cloak features a couple of wires concealed inside it, which can be used to get some positioning for wind or dramatic effect -- but nothing too over the top. The fur on the cloak matches the fur on the rest of the outfit, just like the faux leather of the harness and belt match that of the skirt.

There are a couple of optional extra accessories that come with the set. One is a little package containing three extra straps, I assume for the purpose of replacement if those on which the skulls are attached should break. The other is a molded disk that is supposed to snap onto the ring at the center of the harness over the chest. Once again the concept was fine but the resulting functionality leaves something (a lot) to be desired. While I briefly managed to attach one of the two clasps of the disk onto the harness ring, the other proved too difficult -- especially as I did not want to risk damaging the harness or the TPE flesh in the process. So I gave up and snapped one end of the disk to one of the hoops hanging from the belt/skirt.

I should also mention that the heft of the stainless-steel skeleton body and the relative weight of some of the accessories (though apart from a few hoops there is no additional metal here -- thankfully) help throw the figure off balance more easily than otherwise. Nevertheless, the articulation is largely unrestricted, including that of the shoes, and if the shoulder guards get in the way of the upper arms, I'm sure they will snap off quite easily. The shoulder guards, not arms. Smile This helps the figure assume relatively natural stances and keep relatively good balance. Or as much as can be expected wielding this sort of crazy weapon.

Remember when I was talking about dramatic wind? Well I just realized I had captured it on camera! Smile

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Tblbar22

Again, despite the several layers of clothing, the articulation is generally unimpeded. For example, the "chain" mail skirt is slit at the back (concealed beneath a layer of leather and fur -- I assume both of them faux), which allows the upper legs to move sideways or forward/upward with relative ease.

So while our barbarian hero takes a break (unwittingly demonstrating that he can sit comfortably like a civilized person), let's consider the overall impression this set makes and the scores. If you have less expectation for realism (or rather plausibility) from your fantasy sets, you may be more forgiving. In fact I have so many issues with the visual design that I cannot blame you asking why didn't I just pick up a few parted out pieces and put together as much (or as little) of this as I wanted. Perhaps I thought it would sell out, or perhaps I thought I would like more of it. In fact, I have no major issue with what you see in the "right out of the box" photo, and that could work very well as a base for some kitbashing. The cloak and disk also have a lot of potential, and while the horned helmet is unabashedly fantasy, it is not egregiously implausible for a more ceremonial sort of piece. While beautifully executed, the shoulder guards are not only too fantastical (which is ultimately a matter of personal taste in cases like this) but functionally bewildering; much the same could be said of the greaves and vambraces, but at least those can be put on and will stay on. The axe is impossibly over-the-top for me, but what bothers me more is the absence of additional and alternative weapons -- a barbarian might be expected to be armed to the teeth. Perhaps an alternate, more realistic battle axe would have made sense. But certainly a dagger, some sort of sword, ideally a spear or javelin, maybe a bow and arrows, how about a shield (although I can just imagine what they'll do with that). I realize we cannot really expect to get all that in one set, but we ought to get some of it -- or at least something better than this axe. I suppose I will stop grinding it, except for the score. This will actually look a whole lot better than might be suggested by my complaints about aspects of this set above. One more positive to note is the value. Especially if you do not mind the flights of fancy and only have to worry about the functional problems, you will probably find that $164 (USD) for a higher-end set is actually not at all a bad price these days, when many companies have moved their product (which often has less to recommend it) well above $200.

I don't think this is NSFW, but you decide. As usual, I couldn't resist some slightly adult humor.

For alternatives methods, using Watercolor Pencils, see Posts 21-22 below; using Gundam Real Touch Markers, see Post 35 below.

Another Mistress Gina tutorial: TBLeague neck stuffing.

Several days ago someone asked how to paint nipples and certain other parts on TBLeague female bodies. Both the way the question was posed and the photo illustration were questionably appropriate vis-a-vis our site's regulations, so a moderator removed the post. Nevertheless, since the subject has come up more than once, here is a step-by-step tutorial, using a male figure (thanks to double standards, male nipples are not considered offensive). The process is similar to that for painting seamless bodies with oil pastels (see full thread HERE), but with some more specific techniques. This post will eventually be parked in the Tutorials section.

Note: Human nipples come in different shapes and sizes, and your needs or preferences may vary. I use two colors, usually Staedtler's Rose Wood and Dark Sand.

Note: Because the application of the oil pastel is not as intensive as that possible when painting entire bodies or larger areas, this is largely undoable -- with a bit of determined washing with soap and water.

And, just in case something wasn't clear, here is what I call a zoom-in replay for initial painting stage:

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Tblnt114

The same or analogous stencil and oil pastels method can be used to paint other areas or designs on the seamless bodies. If using a Jiaou body, remember that its TPE surface is less durable than the TBLeague/Phicen kind, and be very careful rubbing in oil pastel.

For alternatives methods, using Watercolor Pencils, see Posts 21-22 below; using Gundam Real Touch Markers, see Post 35 below.

Another Mistress Gina tutorial: TBLeague neck stuffing.

What do you think?

#tutorial #painting #tbleague #phicen #body #nipples #modification #custom #kitbash
I was asked for advice on short-haired heads matching TBLeague male bodies. Here are some of the preliminary results (I will post more eventually), that meet this criterion and match reasonably well (one's definition of that may vary) the skin tone of an M33 body. The body's skin tone corresponds (very closely if not always exactly) to those of M31, M32, M34, M35, and M36A, so one can draw conclusions for them too; these heads will not match M30, which is a bit lighter and more ashen/greyish, and M36B, which is darker. Note that many of the heads have been converted ("de-necked") to work with such bodies -- see Tutorial. In many instances I find it helpful to stuff the TBLeague body's neck; but in a few cases that may make some heads sit a little weirdly on the bodies (I haven't bothered to remove the stuffing for those few cases). The information for each head I have on file varies from the most basic (e.g., what actor -- which is sometimes mere guess) to precise (e.g., actor, character name, film/show, source set, make/brand); if you have more info or corrections on specific entries, please let me know (please use the catalog number supplied for each photo for clarity, e.g., 002-08).

Steve Reeves Hercules by Phicen - Sat Jan 09, 2021 3:21 am

Yep, back then it was still called Phicen. And it was one of very very few of their boxed sets I've ever bought. The head sculpt is not as good a likeness as it should be, I know, nor have I kitted it out completely (besides, it comes with material for at least three or four different looks). But, to make our newest member feel at home, here he is...

Jurassic Pratt - Wed Nov 11, 2020 4:14 am

GubernatorFan wrote:In celebration of the new film, which I am hoping to see on Friday (so please no spoilers), and inspired by Michael Crawford and Bad Wolf, I picked up a couple of items for a Jurassic Park scene -- of sorts, since it also brings in other Chris Pratt material (I borrowed the title "Jurassic Pratt" from my friend Chris L). I used partly repainted Mattel Tyrannosaurus Rex figures (both the 23-inch and 43-inch ones) which are pretty nice, although they have various issues (I could go on) and the scale means they are playing the parts of growing dinos.

NSFW (?) -- The newly assembled "Death Star Trooper" (HERE) just had to get into a silly adventure. As always, this is intended for comedy, and while it does not depict anything explicit, it does make reference to adult themes and therefore may not be suitable for every setting or audience. Although already censored, two more informative images have been hidden as spoilers; you can click on them to view them if you wish.

For the previous installment of Star Wars silliness, check out the Silver Linings story.

Loosely inspired by the "How it should have ended" series...

Part I

Part II in Post 14 below.

The issue of precise or relative scale has come up from time to time. Although our focus is on sixth-scale figures, even when these reproduce their subject faithfully, they can vary in height, sometimes dramatically. In other cases, companies have been known to make figures a certain size (e.g., 12 inches), without much attention to the proper scale. Not that it would provide any kind of comprehensive answers, but I thought I would compare a number of figures to illustrate this variation -- they were selected for being unusually tall or short, with some others thrown in because they were readily available.

Topics tagged under tbleague on OneSixthFigures - Page 3 Afh0110

The Ewok (or I should say this Ewok, Wicket), is the shortest, at about 15 cm (5.9 inches) to the top of the scalp (add 0.5 cm to the tip of the ears).

The HT Jawa is next, at about 20 cm (7.9 in) without the hood (add 1.5 cm to the tip of the hood).

The custom Gamora (on TBLeague's S25B body) is about 26.75 cm (10.5 in). Actress Zoe Saldana is actually 5 ft 7 in, which translates to 28.3 cm (11.16 in) in sixth scale. The custom body matches the HT female body from the original set in height, but both are too short.

The custom Endor Leia (on TBLeague's S25 body) is about 28 cm (11 in), with boots. Actress Carrie Fisher was actually 5 ft 1 in, which translates to 25.8 cm (10.16 in) in sixth scale (but without boots). The custom body matches the HT female body from the original set in height.

The random hoplite (on TBLeague's M33 body) is about 29.5 cm (11.6 in).

The Roman eques ("Dato") is about 30.5 cm (12 in), with boots but without the helmet, or 37 cm (14.5 in) with the helmet, crest, and plume.

Star-Lord is about 31 cm (12.2 in), with boots. Actor Chris Pratt is actually 6 ft 2 in, which translates to 31.3 cm (12.33 in) in sixth scale (but without boots). The figure is too short.

The custom Michael Jordan (on TBLeague's M36B body) is about 33.75 cm (13.3 in). The real Michael Jordan is actually 6 ft 6 in, which translates to 33.02 cm (13 in) in sixth scale. The figure is a little too tall.

Chewbacca is about 36 cm (14.2 in).

Groot, affectionately known as "Tree," is about 40 cm (15.7 in) to the highest tip on the head.

Thanos, the Mad Titan, is about 42.5 cm (16.7 in), with boots but without the helmet, or add 1 cm to the top of the helmet.

Hope this has been of some interest.

One of the most recognizable imperial trooper type throughout the Original Trilogy and related Star Wars films was the Imperial Naval Guard or Trooper. Mislabeled "Death Squad Troopers" and "Death Star Troopers" by Kenner and Hasbro, these were clad in all black (tunic or jumpsuit, with gloves and boots) and sported large samurai-type "cheese grater" helmets. Although they were among the first dozen "classic"-scale (3.75-inch) Star Wars figures produced by Kenner, to the best of my knowledge they have never been given the higher-end sixth-scale treatment (Kenner, or was it Hasbro, produced a 12-inch version in 1998, but that does not qualify as high end; while it was not bad for its time, its somewhat odd proportions and oversized head and helmet detract from the realism potential).

Some years ago Hot Toys advertised an impending "Death Star Trooper" figure, for example at the San Diego Comic Con and other such venues (see HERE and HERE). Many people, including yours truly, were very excited... and contacted Hot Toys to correct the glaring mistake of placing the imperial "cog" emblem on the tunic (it only goes on jumpsuits). At that time, the project was still a go. Since then, any mention of it seems to have disappeared...

The ironic thing is that Hot Toys has now essentially created the "Death Star Trooper," but failed to actually put it together and release it. The most signature piece, the helmet, was provided as a makeshift drum for the evil Ewok in the recent Endor Leia and Wicket combo set. The helmet is sharply sculpted, weathered, and better-sized than the Kenner/Hasbro version from 1998, although its flared rim does not appear to flare out or as far as it did in A New Hope; but it seems to be more accurate to its appearance in the later films. Parted out, the helmet sold like crazy -- it was certainly the one thing I really wanted from that set, and apparently I wasn't alone. Luckily, in a moment of weakness, I had gotten some helmets from a seller in China on eBay, for prices that I am ashamed to mention -- but were lower than the ones you would find on eBay today. With that, I was well on my way to reconstituting what would (or could) have been Hot Toys' "Death Star Trooper." And in fact one could build him using all Hot Toys parts. While the helmet was not instantly wearable, a modicum of rigging made it so. The chin strap was borrowed and slightly repurposed from the even more recent Mudtrooper set (detailed review HERE). The two-part gloves, the boots, and the belt with holster and laser pistol were borrowed from the Death Star Gunner set (detailed review HERE). The tunic and pants came from the Count Dooku set. The body is a True Type TTM14 (the one that came with the Taylor Kitsch/Gambit head). The head is from the Hot Toys Justice League Superman set. That makes a fully armed and operational Hot Toys "Death Star Trooper" action figure.

Pleased as I was with "my" achievement, I actually preferred some parts from other companies -- like the DID jackboots, the Sideshow gloves (less articulation but more matte, like worn leather), and the TBLeague body (the unsightly M30 works great in clothing). That is what you see in the photos below.

Overall, I am pretty pleased with the way he turned out. Yes, the tunic could have had slits on the front near the shoulders for code cylinders (not used by this trooper type in A New Hope or Empire Strikes Back, but one is seen in Return of the Jedi). Yes, the detail on the "ear caps" could have been more accurate (seven indentations rather than the four bumps -- here the Kenner or Hasbro version was actually better -- although it is conceivable there was some variation among the helmets used while shooting the films), but on the whole he makes for a realistic, well-proportioned, and sharp figure.

What do you think?
