NEW PRODUCT: TBLeague Imperial Guardian 1/6

Damn, this figure is beautiful. I don't know if it's this person's photo-skills or what, but the figure looks even better than the promo pics. The armour is more bronze-like than the silver show in the official pics.

I think the sword doesn't come with it. It's different from the promo pics... unless... TBLeague tossed an updated sword in the package...

Lol, I have to admit I cancelled my pre-order for this one. Once I saw those Pop Toys female knights that are coming out later, I decided to put my money on those instead. This figure still looks really nice though.

At first look, i thought the armor couldn't be taken off. Upon closer inspection, it can, as it is fastened by buttons. I wouldn't recommend taking the armor off, unless you want to part out, as putting it back gives me bit of a headache...
The assembly of this figure didn't give me much of a problem, except for the armor skirt. I was careful not to lose the strings, as it would be a headache putting it back again.
The viewing area from the helmet...i have to adjust quite a bit to get it positioned nicely.
Not much accessories, comes with a pair of closed fists, holding hands, and relaxed hands.
And there was no sword as pictured from the promo...

Looks great imo. Too bad it is not metal armor or it would be an instant buy for me but even though, I like the fantasy Knight!

I like it. I didn’t PO this, but now I think I need to get her.

I’m actually glad the armor isn’t metal — much lighter, and it still looks good. I really don’t like all that die-cast stuff, it’s usually much more aggravation than it needs to be, and half the time the underlying body can’t stand the weight — particularly on swords or spears.

She came out great. Thanks for the in-hand photos and comments.

Looks really nice!

sold. PO placed

i snapped off the eye guard off the helmet. Now i can see her eyes more clearly!

Oh, no, look over function strikes again! I hope she doesn't pay for this down the line...

After seeing the promo pics, and now Brassco's in person photos, I may have to look into picking this up. I like the look, and if I ever get bored with it, the opportunity for some customization is very much there! Erza Scarlet (just the armor mind you) anyone?

This Erza? she got tons of costume, probably because of her powers...maybe this Crown Knight can do some mod...

My Imperial Guardian has arrived, and at this point I pretty much know what to expect from TBLeague's stable of female warriors, and she did not disappoint, in the best way possible As always, TBL's attention to detail and execution quality are fully on display... I really appreciate the thought that goes into everything with these figures... for example. her chest and waist armor are plastic, but her abdominal armor is much thinner vinyl, beautifully printed to match the plastic armor pieces perfectly... This was clearly done to help accentuate her form, as a plastic armor piece for her midriff would have hid her hourglass shape. Everything here works perfectly IMO, and I am thrilled to add her to the collection. Of note too is that her portrait, rather than be recycled from Galaxy Soldier, is in fact unique, and very beautifully rendered... Okay, enough of my rambling... IG states her case much better than I ever could

A glorious portrayal of a beautiful figure. Well done again.

Magnificent photos, and a truly beautiful looking figure. Now I’m bummed I didn’t get her.

Thank you so much GubernatorFan and Stryker! She is still available for preorder at BBTS , and she's well worth having if you are a fan of the TBL warrior girls

Here are just a couple of pickup shots of IG... I especially love the second one - she's straight out of a Dutch Masters painting

Yup, that Erza! That crown knight definitely could be useful for her base armor! Thanks for the heads up on that!

Your photos are excellent! I want to pick this up really bad, but it is supposedly going to ship within the next month from BBTS. I am in the middle of switching jobs, so the paychecks through august are spoken for...If she is available once I have money, I will have to get her!

Those additional photos are gorgeous, DD. Nice posing and lighting.

GReat stuff and cool pictures.

Thank you guys again so much! It's always my pleasure to share my photos here

Beautiful shots man.
Thanks for sharing!

This is gorgeous!! I don't know how I could NOT buy this!
But WHY not include that awesome sword?? Weird choice.
And I hope the armor can be removed.

What a beautiful face!!

A wonderful figure indeed.

What I meant was that I like what I can see of the skirt/top (or dress if it's one piece) just as a piece of clothing that I'd buy on it's own. Armour of any kind doesn't appeal to me personally so I'd probably just get the sculpt and the skirt/dress (and yeah okay the spear, because it's cool ).

I love the batlle skirt too.

I even like how she looks in that final photo with most of the armour pieces removed. Could easily work as some kind of medieval/steampunk-inspired haute couture, as well.

The final photo gives a bit of a roman-vibe to me. Just body armor and a skirt. Add the shoulder armor and sandals instead of armored feet, and it could sorta fit into that era.
