NEW PRODUCT: TBLeague: 1/6 girl anime S36 / S37 "small waist fine" body

I also like the 16/17 and 22/23 as far as base bodies go, but the bodies they used for Kier, Gethsemoni, Suzi, & Viking woman (which I believe are the same base) are my favorite.

The raven black-haired one is so ghostly pale that you could call it translucent - I had to blush it up quite a bit to get a match even with a pale TBL body.

The blonde looks slightly pinkish/darker (but that may be an optical illusion down to being framed by blonde hair). It's still too wan, but a better match to a TBL pale.

I got both from GianToy, so I assume they aren't knock-offs.

Oh no! That's a shame. I'm not willing to get another body that's not TBL and changing the pale body to just be a little more olive will be hard if at all possible.

I think I do own one SD head, so I'll dig it out asap.

I am actually VERY happy with the BluTack solution. Works perfectly in this case.

Unless I am blind, yes, that is for sure the s16/17. It’s a great body in how it moves (though mine has some looser elbows), and I would argue probably the best legs I’ve seen on a TBL. Definitely tall though.

It is indeed

I just had a photo shoot with my SD head, which looked cute on photos but in hand I don’t like the look of her mouth at all...

Anyway, here are the shots, I hope not too many, followed by some comparison shots with YMT‘s Anna. When playing with some typical anime/comic book style frames and angles I have lots of fun.

The Super Duck head is cute, but way too large for the body, I think. The YM Toys' Anna head looks really pretty with it, on the other hand. : )

I agree with skywalkersaga. But, I like the angles and photos. The wind blown look is kind of cool.

Indeed --- Diana's photography and posing is superb!

The upshot with the superduck head looks great. Straight on the head does appear too large for this body. I like the ym toys head on it better.

I agree. And thank you for the kind words!

Thanks for the pics (especially with the SD head!) Diana! You really answered a lot of questions, and hammered the final nail in the coffin of my ever getting one of these bodies. I have one YMT head and several (granted of the same sculpt due to various projects and reasons) SD heads. She might as well be a bobble head with the SD head on there.

Well done, everyone. This has been helpful and educational. I was on the fence about the possible use of this (being pale didn't help), but the apparently serious issue in finding fitting heads is a pretty significant complication. Of course, it was already so with the earlier petite bodies, but at least those came in suntan and were more realistically shaped (I'm rather fond of the S25B myself). Then again, Diana did find a look that worked.

I think I found another head that works.
Wondery’s Angela arrived today:

I guess you don't have a S10D to compare the body to? I'm wondering if this will work for a body swap with KYStudio Burryna. I'm still waiting for it to drop but still stuck in transit limbo.

That's another good choice, Diana.

That one does look good as well!

I do like that ming head, I will have to get me one..
I think the lolita head would work but I don't like it. I settled with the SUPER DUCK SDH015 1/6 (menga style) head
I agree sticky tack works great for holding the head properly and allowing movement still . Great posing and fotos btw.
I will also say I like the S32 because of the narrow shoulders.

I have an S12D, so here is another comparison shot:
S29, S16, S12D and S37:

Nice! The JJ x Nancy kitbash looks great!

Wow! And here folks complained that all the precious TBL bodies were unrealistic — they look positively “healthy” compared to the 37 and that unrealistic torso. I’ve never seen KR look so well-nourished — nice upgrade.

The Nancy body does seem the most realistic of all of them in this particular lineup. The newest one the least. It's that upper body... when compared with the others, the lower body actually seems ok -- slim but not too exaggerated. The waist on up though... frustrating. It's a body that looks cute on its own but it seems to be very glaringly 'anime' when next to the others.

Oh... that upper body... I'm literally at a loss for words.

Well, looking at the brighter side of things, my wallet thanks you. LOL

Man, I may get a S29 body too. I liked its proportions and legs shape.

AerynDiana, could I ask a favor? Could you take a pic of these bodies from the side, please? I wanted to see their shapes and breast sizes on the sides. I'm wanna make an Alpha Chun-Li and am still figuring which body to use.

Hah! Yes, I only temporarily parked the KR/JJ head on Nancy’s body and there it stayed. Just perfect. I might take the yellow gloves off some day cause that’s too Nancy. ^^

I am happy to answer the call.
I managed to squeeze in my S33, albeit with reduced usefulness due to the black pants...

Thanks so much for the pics. It helped me a lot on choosing the body for this project.

To make Alpha Chun-Li, I was torn between:
- S23: mid-breast and muscular, but tall;
- S29: thicker legs and nice body shape overall, but boobs are kinda big.

Now since Chun-Li is 1,65 m tall (or 5'5") according with SF wiki, the S29's smaller height makes for a stronger pick.

Diana, may I "borrow" the from-the-side lineup for the TBLeague body catalog, with due attribution, of course?

Great comparison picture Diana! The 33 is super tall in comparison. One thing I've noticed is that sometimes with the phicen boots, the already long legged s23 or s16 becomes super long legged, but with your s29, the legs look appropriate proportioned with the boots on. Very interesting!

I understand the dilemma!
I could follow up with S33, Painkiller Jane (S23) and S29 all with boots if you like. The height difference here is of course reduced due to S29 wearing those boots and the S16 (similar in height to S23) being bare foot.

Absolutely and any time. The more use we get out of these the better.

Agreed. Although, as you say, the boots play a big role here. I was quite surprised what a different they make!

So: another comparison shot coming up with S17, S23, S29 and S33 all wearing the same boots. Not today though. ^^
Maybe with the S06 added for fun, but she's wearing black so it'll mostly be for the height comparison. I do think her body is one of the prettiest! If only she had detachable feet...

Thank you very much, Diana, you're a great team player!

I don't exactly mean to bump this to the top again, but I found this on Youtube and thought that it would be an interesting resource for anyone looking at these bodies. Do be warned, it is uncensored if that is an issue.

^ That guy really treats his figures rough.

I dunno - they look slightly less ridiculous isolated 'on film' than they do side-by-side with the 'normal' bodies in static shots. But it's still not enough to tempt me to buy, though.
