I'm glad you've kept up this topic. Lots of useful information. And funny presentations. I like that motorcycle too, we don't seem to see enough of them. Anyway, hope there's more to come.

You've acquired quite the wardrobe for your figures, I can only imagine how many tiny closets it would take to display all of them. Nicely done finding attire to properly fit the M36, and I really dig that cargo biker vest. It's also funny to think about how in this addictive hobby, we can end up spending way more money on clothing for our dolls than we do for ourselves, hahaha. But I am guilty of this, I really should learn how to use a sewing machine at some point.

I am thinking about buying a few extra feet for my phicen boys for their shoes - which company will give me the best bet of the right size of feet for most shoes available out there ... as there are so many manufacturers out there Thanks in advance!
GubernatorFan wrote:Thank you very much, I'm glad you're finding it useful. If you want footwear that will fit on the TBLeague feet, and if sporty fashions are your thing (or acceptable), look into the Kumik shoes in Part XXIII. They are made of a softer rubbery plastic, and you can usually push the feet in even without heating the shoes up with a hair dryer beforehand. Note, I have seen the grey ones mislabeled as women's on eBay. With heating, I was able to make the laced shoes worn by the guy with the man bun in Part XXII fit on the TBLeague feet. The Nike (and other?) slides (sold in their own little shoeboxes) also fit (see Part XVI and Part XXII).
The easiest option is to buy footwear that is not meant to go on the sixth-scale foot, but directly on the foot peg. If it happens to be tight, try heating it to accommodate the footpeg (might need to do so again to take it off). If the fit is not tight enough to keep the figure reasonably well-balanced, interpose a small length of flat elastic cord between the foot peg and the hole in the foot/footwear (illustrated at the end of Part XVII). If you do find footwear that you must absolutely use but it is designed for feet and won't fit on the TBLeague ones, use another company's feet (the best ones would be WorldBox, but also DAM, etc) -- they would typically be small enough to fit in the footwear, and, provided you can jam the TBLeague foot peg into their openings (use the elastic cord trick if the fit is a little loose), that would solve the problem.

Years ago I had found some online fetish shop that sold the material to make… well, you know… so it was ideal for my purposes at the time.

skywalkersaga wrote:Ah ok, thanks for the identity of the head -- for some reason it looks different in your pic and I didn't recognise it. And yeah, maybe a larger body would 'suit' the suit. ;D
skywalkersaga wrote:I hate to bother you about this, but I actually have one of those Jiaou doll body suits (the same make as the red one in your pics), and I'm trying to figure out if it will fit a different Jiaou body or not. I believe it is tailored to the large bust Jiaou body, but I was thinking of using it with the medium bust one instead (not the most recent one with the slimmer shoulders, I mean the regular medium bust Jiaou body). I know you don't own every Jiaou body, but just thought I'd check in case. The reason I'm asking is that I don't want to go purchasing a medium bust body only to have it not fit (just can't afford wasted purchases right now).

I was planning on just leaving the bodysuit on the TBLeague body for a long while (it was such a pain to put on), but before I go checking, can you supply a specific Jiaou body number? All my Jiaou female bodies are (I think) from their first and second releases, with seamless ankles and then with swappable feet. I never got their "European" bodies or any of the ones that may have followed.
Correction -- some of the bodies have a 3.0 designation so perhaps first three releases then.

Seven Pillars wrote:Thanks very much for this guide. It really helps to see how the various bodies fit into the clothes.
I'm eyeing some E&S and Damtoys male military figures but if they're as limited in their poses as my VeryCool female figures then I'm replacing them with seamless bodies. The thing is what you've pointed out earlier in the thread is true: Phicen males are too broad-shouldered and over-muscled. I bought a BDU for my M35 and while the pants are ok, the shirt can't get around the shoulders. It looked like the Hulk bursting out of his clothes.
I wish Phicen would produce male bodies which are not superhero-proportioned, like the Jiaou males. Lean and athletic without being ripped to high heaven. How do you find the flexibility of the Jiaous, compared to the Phicens?
skywalkersaga wrote:Those are nice finds! The VeryCool Spetsnaz on the s25b turned out really cute. I suspected that head might work better on that body once it was clothed. And I agree that those flat black shoes are great -- I recently picked up a pair myself. I haven't tried any of the actual clothing from that shop yet, but I do like some of it. That white sundress is prob my fave of the bunch.
Stryker2011 wrote:Some good catches. The fatigues look a bit big — which is odd considering the body used for Steve Rogers, but overall not bad. It’s funny seeing that Ripley head on such a short body.
