Can these feet be used with tbleague figures?

Hello everyone, quick question here. Has anyone tried using either of these feet types with their tbleague figures? Just looking at the pictures it seems like you can remove the plastic pegs and stick the foot onto the metal skeleton, but I'm not sure. I wanted to know since these foot models would work nicely with my "artist mannequin" s28. The default tbleague feet really aren't that great for doing any kind of pose that requires bending or posing of the feet.

So these are for a female figure? I haven't experimented with those feet, but I take it the S28's high heel feet do not work well enough for what you have in mind. In principle, if this is like male feet, remove the plastic ankle joint and insert the metal ankle peg of the TBLeague body. If the fit is too tight, try heating up the plastic. If the fit is too loose (and if it won't look bad if that area of the body is exposed) try using some flat elastic cord to tighten the fit.

I've never really found the high heel foot to be that useful when trying to pose my model, so I thought maybe these would be better.

They should work, since the ankle peg is removable on those, though I would be more inclined to use the flat feet that come with a TBL base body instead.

These look like male feet to me?

I've never had much luck using anything with tbleague ankle pegs other than the actual tbleague feet, or boots that were specifically made to fit the tbleague pegs. That doesn't mean it's not possible, of course, but I haven't had any success.

Alright, so I ended up getting these feet. They're a good deal more poseable and flexible than Phicen's standard feet (which isn't saying much) but they're still pretty loose so they flop around a lot and the figure can't stand up on its own yet. Does anyone know of a way to tighten the fitting? I was thinking maybe a layer of glue into the opening on the foot, but I've never attempted to tighten a fitting before, only loosen it by carving/sanding away bits at a time.

A few layers of teflon tape on the metal part is a good place to start. The teflon tape leaves no glue residues, so it's easy to remove if you want to use the standard feet later.

If you mean they are loose at the ankle (not the bendable toe part), then I agree with A Man. Or, like I suggested, stick a little length of flat elastic cord between the metal ankle peg and the hole in the foot.

I was looking at these feet on Ebay earlier today. The fit is better than I anticipated. It would be nice if there were poseable feet like this available for the figures. Especially the males. When you have crouching type poses even basic running/walking some articulation around the toe area is really useful.

On the females I often have one flat foot and one high heel foot to try and get a decent compromise. (Just in case Phicen/Tbleague is watching) I'd pay a little extra for half decent poseable feet if they fit well and were sold separately ;P.

Going along with what you said about using one flat and one high heeled female foot, it would help if they gave us bent toed male foot sculpts (ACI did, and Jiaou almost did). If you look hard enough you will probably find half decent poseable feet (but they will not be seamless).
