NEW PRODUCT: Super Duck: 1/6 Water Princess Set [without body] (NO: SET053)

Someone is already selling the head sculpture separately:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/144210180225

It dorsn’t look as good in the eBay photo as it does in the BBICN photos which look better to me that the prototype which doesn’t look as good as Amber Heard who doesn’t look as good as Mera did during Blackest Night which is the best she’s looked since she debuted in the Sixties.

Well... while I have no real use for the whole set, I've just taken a gamble on it because I actually like the in-hand sculpt (for me, the less a sculpt looks like a particular person, the more I like it as it offers more possibilities). I do hope that crown is removable, though (with it being listed separately I think it is). So with that in mind, I've probably paid over the odds for it... but then again you can never predict what sellers will try and scalp you for for these items on the resale market.

I think the sculpt might look good on a Viking Woman/Knight Of Fire body (which I guess would make that tight-fitting jumpsuit even more redundant).


EDIT: Hm, the ebay listing linked to above is only £10 less (inc pesky VAT) than I paid for the whole set, so I'm not too unhappy. And the crown is separate (phew)!

I'm fine with it. Inconsistent with the promos/actress/character or not, it's still much better than SD's usual bland sculpts.

What the actual source of the photos in this listing is is uncertain (note the photoediting/shopping at top and bottom that probably hides logos etc), but they seem to bear more resemblance to the BBICN pics:

Here it looks more 'pale' than 'suntan', though (which would be in line with most SD sculpts in my experience).

I'll know for certain in about a week, I guess (bought mine from GianToy and here there's only a £4 difference between the sculpt on its own and the full set).

That pic actually looks pretty nice. If it turns out to be pale instead of suntan, I might pick one of these up after all.

I received my set. Just FYI, it will not match a Pale -- it is definitely a "New" Suntan (ie, it has that gray cast that the new TBL Suntan bodies all have).

Good to know

So I can probably set aside one of my half-dozen Knight Of Fire bodies in anticipation.

I have a sure-fire formula for figuring out whether a set needs a pale or suntan body.

If I have a pale S10D available, it will need a suntan S12D and vice versa.

Works every time!

haha, that is so true

Haha! Ahh, the Mystery behind the 1/6th Hobby has been broken.

Ah, thanks , good to know.

These are now back in stock at GianToy, just in case anybody wants one for a third less than any Ebay vendor is selling them for

Just saw this custom Mera headsculpt...

https://forums.toynewsi.com/forums/topic/2127829-mera_amber-heard-custom-figure/

The head looks great, though a little too big for the body (or maybe it’s the camera angle?).

It looks like they didn't use a tbleague but perhaps a VeryCool body or something similar.

The head is indeed very nicely done, along with the rooted hair.

I just received the bodysuit and deciding on what TBL body to use.
Recommended is S12D but looking at in-hand pics, the suit could barely contain the S12D's chest.
I was thinking of using S23B with mid breasts, hoping to have a more muscular body shape
and was wondering if anyone here has done so or seen this set with an S23B body.

well, you can try, but usually makers designed their products with the body they have. So if you choose a muscular body, not only it is pointless (whole body suit), but i suspect the leg might be too thick to be worn on that suit.

Thanks, Brassco.
I just took the suit out of the package, unfortunately it doesn't seem stretchy enough so yeah no go with the S23B with it's thicker thighs.
