That is so helpful! These body types are still pretty unfamiliar with me so I'm happy to have these pics

Thanks Dal, glad you find it useful!

You are very welcome, I'm happy it helps you compare and decide between these bodies. I guess we never had more than two different Jiaous (skin tone apart) in the same comparison before, except for one line up from the side.

Thank you very much, Simon. I don't use them as much (though I have used a few female Jiaous for dressed up figures), so in some ways they are still somewhat unfamiliar to me. I think you'll see a couple more relatively unfamiliar bodies if you look at the White Men can Jump thread.

Oh, thanks for showing! I've been looking for very slim bodies to modify for goblins, elves, etc. for a long time. Is it still the case that the Jihauo bodies only have a fake metal head adapter and the rest of the skeleton is mostly made of plastic? The fact that Jihaou bodies are presented as TBL bodies on sales portals has always made these bodies a bit unappealing to me. Sorry for this negative opinion, but I think the skeleton and silicone are a bit inferior to the TBL body.

The Jiaou 10 is my fave male body they've done so far, I really need to get more of them...

You are very welcome, Ephiane. I'm happy if it helps you. Last I checked, the joints are metal but in between there is plastic. If I recall correctly. I was very positively impressed by the 17A's range of articulation, but in principle I still prefer the full-metal skeleton smoother-moving TBLeague bodies. And I also agree that TBLeague's TPE (not really silicone despite them calling it that at first) is a little more user-friendly, especially for us who like to recolor the bodies. Jiaou bodies also have some strange features when it comes to proportions -- narrow waists, wide hips, overly long upper legs in some cases. 
For Jiaou's 17A, see in a previous post in this thread and also my Kamisoul MAF body review (I suspect this is a clone of Jiaou's 17A -- at any rate it is very similar, though it has nicer feet) --

I think that makes good sense -- it has less exaggerated features than the others and a somewhat more "ideal average" look to it. By the way, that's the one they marketed as a teenager or young male, at least originally.
Have you seen a good use (finally) of the TBL M36 here:

Good comparison pics. Thanks for doing that, Ian.

Thank you, Mark, I'm very glad you liked it. I figured we have plenty of comparisons between Jiaou and TBLeague, but not enough between Jiaou and Jiaou side by side. And there's only four body molds anyway.
