Oh, the horror! Why, that would be enough to make anyone Sith! (See what I did there?)
I thought once we got Anakin over his negative body image (by removing the integral neck) he would be (more or less) over his phobia of beeches.

GubernatorFan wrote:Part IX: Easy & Simple Lone Rescuer

I recently picked up the head sculpt, long-sleeved shirt, and faded Levi's 501 jeans from the Easy & Simple Lone Rescuer set. Here is how they fit on an M33. Yes, I realize that (a) the head is a bit too pale for the body, and (b) the bottoms of the jeans are too tight to properly fit over the boots (or the boots are a bit too bulky -- they are not from this set, I picked them to match the shirt). The top button on the shirt can be buttoned -- I just liked the unbuttoned look a bit better; and the jeans do fit nicely without the bulky boots -- in fact they would fit fine on a taller (longer-legged) figure too. The last photo included some makeshift folding up (not real tucking in) of the shirt, to reveal the Levi Strauss label on the jeans.







Hope this is helpful.

So surprise the long sleeve shirt can handle M33 arms!!!! I bought 5 randomly brand of shirts and I just can't fit anyone one to it......for the head I think it works well to your figure in this case because he is wearing full clothes and no much muscles to show off, plus TBLeague's hands and feet are also pale too.... And I can see the jeans squeezing his butt so much...must be very tight I hate big butt on male bodies...

I should have said that the fit is quite tight on both the shirt and the pants, but as you can see, they worked. I am surprised you say TBLeague's hands and feet are pale -- they are quite tan (unless you are looking for super tanned and dark skinned bodies), and in certain light appear to be darker than the silicone body, and certainly darker than this particular head sculpt (I got relatively lucky with the lighting, plus the clothing obscured most of the body).

I think it was the light did the magic, if you see those photos, I can tell PH/TBL hands and feet are paler/or should I say greeny compare to the body, all my seamless from PH/TBL are the same....Jiaou do offers more body paint but that is too risky to make a choice....

By the way is it still poseable while wearing these shirts and jeans? Can he sit down??

lawlaw91 wrote:By the way is it still poseable while wearing these shirts and jeans? Can he sit down??

Yes, he can, though it is a tight fit again, and the velcro "zipper" wants to open and can barely stay closed. Sorry, didn't think to take a photo.

Part X: Storm Collectibles nylon flag shorts

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the nylon flag shorts that came with Storm Collectibles' Dennis Rodman set fit very well on an M33; I would not be surprised if they do likewise on any TBLeague male bodies, possibly up to M34 (though getting them on that would be even more of a challenge).

Looks pretty good from the back.

Stryker2011 wrote:Looks pretty good from the back.

LOL, yes I suppose it does -- certainly better than from the front, which looks a little strange to me (maybe it's the cut of the shorts), though it works. I've always wanted flag shorts, but never figured out whether it was appropriate or not...

Part XI: Various, including Magic Cube and World Box

Testing out some new acquisitions on TBLeague's M33. All of them are a tight fit, but they do fit and allow for effective articulation (bending, flexing, sitting, etc). They might not be usable on the bulkier bodies, however.

Below: Chris (L) - tank top from World Box King of Fighters Kyo Kusanagi, pants from Ace Toyz Kung Fu Master 2; Paul (R) - t-shirt from World Box King of Fighters Terry Bogard, tear-away pants (which don't tear away!) from Magic Cube Bulls set.



Below: Chris (L) - pants and shirt as above, plus hoodie from World Box King of Fighters Terry Bogard; Paul (R) - Dam Toys flannel long-sleeved shirt, jeans as in Part IX above.



Below: Chris (L) - pants and shirt as above, plus hoodie from Magic Cube Bulls set; Paul (R) - Dam Toys grey heather t-shirt, shorts from Magic Cube Bulls set.



Despite the difficulties getting these on the figures (some more easily than others), they work very well and, as noted, do not impede the articulation much. I was impressed that even the black and red sportswear, with its realistic elastic waists did not leave long-lasting indent marks or staining (apart from some fiber transfer).

Hope this is useful for someone.

The second Paul with sleeve shirt is amazing, it can holds up M33 big biceps....Is that from Damtoys characters, which model is it? Or the shirt is selling as a single cloth from Dam toys?

lawlaw91 wrote:The second Paul with sleeve shirt is amazing, it can holds up M33 big biceps....Is that from Damtoys characters, which model is it? Or the shirt is selling as a single cloth from Dam toys?

Thanks. Yes, it works pretty well. And part of the point is, this will probably be true for other DAM products of the same type (which might have a different coloring but might use the same pattern -- dimensions, cut, etc). The DAM grey heather t-shirt in the last photo also fits very well (and without too much difficulty), although it is a different type of garment. I don't think DAM sells single items like these, though perhaps they have the occasional accessories pack (some other companies do, anyway). I found it parted out online. It is from this set:

Hope this helps.

Really nice. Like the flannel set on Paul. The only one that I think looks a bit odd is the sleeveless hoodie on Chris -- the length seems a bit too short. All the other stuff looks great and realistic.

Stryker2011 wrote:Really nice. Like the flannel set on Paul. The only one that I think looks a bit odd is the sleeveless hoodie on Chris -- the length seems a bit too short. All the other stuff looks great and realistic.

Thank you! The little sleeveless hoodie on Chris is a bit odd, but I do think it is by design. I'm not sure whether the absence of a zipper tab was on purpose or fell out during parting-out. There was also a blue shirt from the same set with non-functional buttons (it was apparently supposed to be worn unbuttoned), so maybe this isn't an oversight. Assuming that it is meant to be a tad short (it is also surprisingly sleeveless), I included it as something that fits (the blue shirt I just mentioned did not, so it is not included).

As a first contribution, I chose this topic. I hope I do not get too many slaps.

Welcome, nhwioz. I think it worked out great, and you were able to make up for any problems posed by the tight fit. It is easy to forget that although it is not super-muscular, M33 is actually quite buff, and that so many clothes designed for generic 1/6-scale action figures out there would have trouble fitting on it. That's why you improvised, and that's why we have this thread. Thanks for contributing.

Welcome aboard. Robert looks pretty cool like that. Nice bash.

I can totally see RDJ as a John Wick arch-rival. You should give him a sawed-off shotgun

Hi everyone...I'm also new here. I have been reading different topics around here for a little bit, but wanted to wait til I finally got all  my figures in before I commented. Took a minute...they are so expensive! The problem I'm having is I bought the 36A figure because the character he represents is supposed to be a bit taller than his friends...but I didn't expect him to be SOOOOO tall! He's way too tall for the others. I'm debating selling him and getting another of the shorter dudes...but I still kind of like him and if I could just find clothes that he looks right in, maybe I can keep him. I thought of using the ankle extenders to make the others not so short compared to him, but man, they suck! The biggest problem tho is that NOTHING fits him. All the pants are way too short. I don't know what to do. It's making my experience with this fall on the disappointed side. I was so excited at the idea, and spent all this money to get these 4 characters (3 male and one female)...but it's very hard with the clothes and shoes situation.

The other thing I wanted to mention and ask about (I haven't looked around too much yet, but I will look for this topic)...the head sculpts I've seen so far are all the already painted kind, with molded hair. I specifically wanted to paint my own and put more realistic hair on them, but am having loads of trouble with this hair. I wondered if anyone here has done their own hair and how did you solve the issues that brings about? (Like the glue not holding/hair falling out, and crazy looking flyaway hair that won't stay down and looks ridiculous). This is a great forum! I hope to get lots of tips! Love the photos y'all are posting! Love the guy with the guitar the most...that pic is magic!

Welcome aboard, chrisinbama. Right now the only clothing made for those bodies are basketball clothing, or they could be custom made.

As far as modifying a sculpted head to real hair, here are a few links:

Thank you for the reply! I'll check those out immediately!

It is understandable that this would be a challenge -- as I wrote in my review of the M36 bodies, that makes the absence of any included basic clothing (underwear) by TBLeague even more annoying. You've got to keep testing things that might work. Maybe try finding some longish shorts, or pair the pants with tall boots so it doesn't show that they will hang short. Short-sleeved shirts or even "wife beaters" might take care of it on the upper end. But of course that might not be the look you're after.

They are pricey, but you might want to check out the hegemony77 offerings on Etsy -- many of them are designed for these seamless bodies (though not exclusively) and they might have something for M36. And since many of the items they offer are sporty and somewhat stretchy, they might work ok even if not specifically designed for it.

Part XII: ZC World Mens Hommes Vol 10 Airforce

I picked up a few of the ZC World Mens Hommes Vol 10 set (Airforce) and tried them on a TBLeague M33 body. For the most part, the experiment was a success, although the body is a tad bulky for the clothing and the layers add up. The white T shirt was a challenging fit (though it came off rather easily), and produced all sorts of loose tiny white fibers during the struggle. The black socks stained the lower legs -- should have just used the black ankle warmers/concealers that came with the TBLeague body itself. The cap is wearable but seems a bit oversized to me. The pants were very difficult to put on and I did not succeed in making them close (hence the untucked state of the shirt and undershirt, and not showing the silver-buckled belt). Otherwise, I think this worked out well enough; now where do I find similar navy blue pants that would fit?













I hope this has been useful or interesting to someone. As always, what do you think?

Hmmm. I probably would have went with a narrow shoulder, hard-plastic body, and not a TBL, in order to get the clothes to fit correctly. It’s hard to judge whether this would make an acceptable base for an Air Force uniform based on how ill-fitting it all looks at the moment. (Sorry, I know that sounds super judgmental.)

Yes, I agree. I would normally go with a narrow-shouldered hard-plastic body for this outfit, but the theme of this thread is to try out clothing on TBLeague seamless bodies, hence the experiment. The M33 body is definitely too bulky (especially for the pants, less so for the jacket and shirt, but still a stretch); I wonder if M32 would fit, but haven't tried it yet (it is slimmer but still has pretty broad shoulders); I bet M31 would fit fine. Of course, except for the t-shirt look, there is no great need for using a seamless body here. In terms of actual deployment of the clothing, if I were creating a permanent character, I would indeed use a hard-plastic body; I might save the white t-shirt (which is not visible when the rest of the outfit is on) for a seamless body.

So envy you can find a suit for M33, at least you made it wear it on.... although it will be really hard to pose I guess...
If you really love M33 with suits, let patience to wait for Toy Centre to release the suits especially for M33 bodies....I found they are able to preorder

This Navy suits looks amazing on M33, I truly afraid to buy such suits for this bulky body already....but then since the T-shirt is not visible when Punisher wearing the full set, I suggest not to wear T-shirt, so can spare some space for posing....unless you want him wear it only T-shirt
-------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Lawlaw. It fits like a tight suit on a pro wrestler -- I think it works for me ok in the first photo, but not so much in the second. You are right about the t-shirt being redundant, though I wonder how much it would have really helped if I had kept it off. The bigger problem with the pants not closing didn't have anything I could have removed standing in the way.

I can see you put a lot of efforts into it....he at least looks good with standing and sitting pose, I like he still can sitting like that last picture....In face ZC, ZY,POPTOYS, and some of the "Tony Stark specialized" suits are not friendly to seamless at all, even M31, I hope there will be someone starts doing suits with a little bit "elasticity" material, really need that

I am hoping so too. XRF, who had produced some of the clothing appearing in some of the earliest posts in this thread, are now set to release two versions of a long-sleeve plaid shirt and jeans set, so I am hoping eventually they get to suits and uniforms too. It says they are ideal for DAM and Soldier Story bodies, but their earlier releases worked very well with the seamless TBLeague ones too.

XRF and SuperMc are tended to be making larger clothes, really got high "win" rate to bet on those for seamless.....
