Hey everyone! This is my first post here (obviously lol) but I have been browsing for the past few weeks. I have a project I am working on and I have found that most of the insight and information I have been able to gather for it has come from this forum. So I decided to join and see what all I can learn!
A bit of background on me, but I started collecting articulated figures (and some statues) last July when I purchased my first Figmas. That has spiraled into my wanting to collect (on a budget of course!) articulated figures in general. I watch a particular Youtube channel that specializes in action figure reviews and customs, which helped inspire me to start wanting to customize my own stuff. To that end I have found that aside from (and I believe the term is "kitbashing") the fairly universal compatibility of Figmas with each other, there is next to nothing for 1/12th figures. That led me to the world of 1/6th and ultimately finding this forum. Also during this time, with the help of youtube as well, I have been learning to sculpt (however slowly) and hope to be able to make a head sculpt for a figure one day that is not just a potato with hair!
As for my project(s), I am a fan of fighting games and anime and I would like to try my hand at a few of my favorite characters. However, some of these characters just simply don't exist (in any scale), or they are so poorly done they aren't worth it, or they do exist and if I have to spend that kind of money I might as well do it the way I want. I have taken the mentality of "want something done right, do it yourself" with this. I am frustrated by the lack of consistency in numbers on any number of bodies, namely from TBLeague. I have noticed on giantoy's site that in the package details they are giving BWH for some of the female bodies that are coming soon, which has been great info, but not all of them have it in the description. I haven't looked for any detailed info for male bodies either, but I figure one thing at a time (fighting game male characters are, IMO, easier in the body department. Ryu is not exactly small, especially by SFV designs). That info would be awesome when it comes to how I want to go about my projects, it is just so varied and incomplete.
My question then is simply this: Does anyone have a resource I could use to see the heights (or any of the other measurements I mention above) of the TBLeague bodies?
Thanks for reading and I look forward to what all I learn on here!
