S26A and S27B what works ... and what doesn't (WARNING: lots of pics)

TBLeague S27B (tan) body
Head from S35 set
Clothing from Bratz Holiday Jade
Telephone booth from Bratz Pretty 'n' Punk
Vespa scooter by New Ray

That's a wonderful outfit. It looks like I got the same boots for Lexi, but in red, a few months ago.
But does anybody use a phonebooth these days?

Thanks a lot for posting this!
I cannot imagine myself to ever use one of the very small TBLeague bodies myself (24/25 are just small enough for me), but if I were or if I considered getting one, threads like this are so incredibly helpful.

A new pic of Tærra, a character using an S27B body:

Body: TBLeague S27B
Head: Kumik 16-84
Costume: Mattel Wild Hearts Crew and various Bratz, Barbie, and GI Joe pieces.

Very well done, davidd, all the more so, given the challenge posed by that extra petite body.

Nice outfit!

So far we have shied away from using the S26/27 because it is difficult to find heads. This is a nice overview that it is possible. An additional advantage is of course that Barbie clothes fit these bodies very well.

Those are some beautiful creations! I especially like the last one, just because I don't care for the girly look. Nice use of that head sculpt! Did you have to work it a lot to fit the TBL body?

If you mean the Kumik head on the TBL body, not much work at all. A few wraps of teflon tape (plumbers tape) around the neck ball is all.

Ah okay! Nice. I have a Kumik head, but there isn't enough space for the neck peg depth wise. The head sits too high with a gap of about 3mm between neck and the base of the head.

Maybe it's possible to drill a bigger hole? Or if the HS is made as the TBLeague HS's, you can maybe part the two halves and insert a deeper tube.

I will take a closer look later and see what I did about that. Seems like most heads require some tinkering to get a good fit.

Thank you for the height comparison! I was about to ask what the measurements for those bodies are but this will do quite fine.
If theres one thing I hate when buying TBLeague bodies, it's that you never have any idea how tall or short they will be. All they have is their weird numbering system which is really confusing, at least for me. :S
Anyone know how the S26S stacks up beside the S12D height wise? They both looks like shorter bodies but wondering what the actual difference in height is.

BadWolf -- the s12d is a little shorter than the s22/23, though not as short as the petite bodies.

Post number # 3 (by GubernatorFan) in this thread might be able to give you a better height comparison:

Davidd, some really gorgeous pics and characters!


I really do love Toni's fashion.  Absolutely adorable.


I love this shot!  It's so beautifully retro and stylish. Feels like a casual snapshot of a night in London, a quick stop between the bar and the club.


And this shot is so cool!  So atmospheric, and feel like she's exploring an ancient temple.  Dig it!

Thanks! I'm glad that "vibe" came across.

I recently revisited this concept with a little better (I think) lighting, posing, and attention to detail:

Body: TBLeague S27 (as per this topic)
Head: Kumik 16-84
Costume: assorted Bratz, Wild Hearts Crew, and action figure accessories

Another excellent, atmospheric photo, Dave. And welcome back, we have missed you!

Cool shots Dave!

Holy cow! I LOVE that pic! The attention to detail and all really paid off!
Now I go hunt down that head and consider whether I can be bothered modifying it.

Wow! That’s a cool shot. The lighting and posing is excellent. It’s as if she went thru a massive event to get that treasure, and now she’s just contemplating all that was lost to gain it.
