NEW PRODUCT: TBLeague s46-47 (Month body?)

It probably is exactly the same body, but we know how TBL like to make their odd little design tweaks so I'm just being cautious until I can finally get one and be sure.

I'm really interested in seeing how this one turns out in-hand, yeah.

She arrived. Here are unedited comparison shots of the S16A and the S47B.
Not safe for work.

S16A vs S47B (NSFW):

Really tall, isn’t she. There’s ting how it seems they used the upper half of the 16, but maybe the lower half of the 12…?

Interesting comparison. For a moment I thought the main difference in height might be due to the different feet, but looks like there is more to that. I did obtain one of the coveted Saintess Knight bodies, and will be comparing to it once mine arrives.

Yes, the S16/17 is around the same size as the S22/23. They are both among the tallest, and this one is taller, even if not by much.
I'm guessing only S32/33 and maybe S42/43 are as tall or taller, though I don't have the latter so I'm not sure.

It does appear to be identical to the Saintess Knight, which is more or less the same height as a Viking Woman (which aside from the detachable feet is near identical to a 42/43):

The Aset/Isis body is identical to the Saintess Knight (the only unique detail is the holes in its back for the wings).

Unlike Viking Woman/Knight Of Fire/Vampire Slayer, which is still unreleased as a base body in that particular form, there's no need to pay crazy prices on Eb*y for the Saintess Knight bodies anymore with the release of the 46/47.

Glad to know they're the same seemingly! I have two Saintess bodies and ordered an s47. I'm also going to order another s47 with attached feet.  By the way, is that blonde sculpt the blonde Sparta commander from late 2020? Did you enhance her makeup? Thanks!

Looks great. Can't wait for mine to come in the mail.

Huh, no difference in boob size between the s16 and 47 after all. Saves me having to buy a different body though

For anyone's convenience, here's a comparison shot of S33 standing next to the Saintess figure I took for a buddy a while ago. Don't mind leather / lint stains on S33. Some figures I designate for leather items so if they get stained, it's not a big deal as those spots will be covered anyway. Don't mind the two right feet either. I very seldom use flat feet, so I had to scramble to find some.

WOW! Thank you. She looks great in that outfit!

My first impression upon opening the box was actually "She just looks unfit".
So I left her in the box overnight and had a fresh look the next day. I like her now.

So it seems she is in fact even taller than the S32/33, if not by much.

Thanks! Here are some better shots with that outfit. I've recently updated this character from S17 to this one.

Amazing shots, promo like. The only thing I’ve noticed other than the chest compared to the fire knight bodies was the neck, a bit thinner.

Thank you! I'm glad the neck's a bit thinner.

It took me a while to like the figure as well. When I put on the Villa sculpt for the first time, I really grew to like the figure.

This is definitely the tallest TBL female body so far, beating Viking Woman but only by just a milimeter or two. I agree with them choosing this body for their forthcoming Amazon figure (but ideally would prefer a cross between it and the 23, slightly more muscular).

There are a few more (surprisingly subtle) differences that I can see between the two - 46/47/Saintess Knight has a thinner and slightly longer neck (unless it's just the way the Saintess head sits), a broader mid-torso, waist and hips, thicker thighs and slightly thicker straighter legs.

It is and I did

Just a soft 12b pencil line around the eyes for a temporary makeup job. The lips were that vivid red already so I decided to embolden the eyes to give them equal focus.

Thanks for the info. This is one of my main characters and I like to have multiple figures for different outfit rotations, so the saintess and s47 should still be interchangeable.

This is my method, also. It is so much easier than trying to change outfits. Usually once I decide how how a figure will look, it stays that way, since dressing them is a bit of a chore.

I second that. Nicely put together and shot.

Some figures I like to keep a pair of pantyhose on since they're tricky to take on and off. Plus there's a chance to ruin them as well.

Thanks a lot!

Here's some good news!

I finally got my s47 in the mail today! Below we have the Saintess figure body  (same kind of figure as the pics with Villa I shared earlier) on the left and the S47 on the right.

To me they are the same figure, but I noticed some of the details are washed out / not as prominent in the S47. Maybe it was just a bad batch out of the mold? It's not a big deal to me.  

Left: Saintess Figure Right: S47



I think I'm off to order a couple more -- one with seamless feet and one in pale!

Mine should be coming in the mail either Friday or Saturday. All these photos are making me excited to get it.

I've noticed some very subtle differences between my Saintess (Gold) and the S47 too. The skintone of my Saintess is a little more tanned/yellowy-orangey than the S47, and yes, some of the sculpting of the 47's torso seems smoother and slightly less defined, but without me being exactly sure how. The skintone differences are so subtle that they don't always register in photos, however - it's more of an in-hand thing.

The Aset/Isis body is much more similar to an S47 though (aside from its wing-holes), so I think it's Saintess that's actually the oddity. Maybe Saintess is more the 'prototype' of the two versions, but I only have the Gold version of Saintess so I can't comment on if the other two match it.

It's a little like the very subtle differences between Viking Woman and the S43, it's nothing that should force you to take out a bank loan to get VW or Saintess from an eb*y scalper, but the differences are there if you look hard enough.

Still, S47 is a great body. Definitely in the top three or four types.

Judging by these photos the S47 seems a little... "meatier" than the Saintess Knight. The upper thighs and her neck look bigger to me, and the torso looks fleshier, too. Her waist looks wider. I think that's exactly why my first impression was that of an unfit person. Saintess Knight looks like she wears a size smaller.

I really like both of course. And now I wish I had a Saintess Knight.

Yeah, wish I'd picked up a Saintess Knight now. I held off though since I had no spare money at the time and assumed it would just be the same exact body. Hopefully it's just the type of TPE they are using that leads to the less defined figure ....maybe further runs will sort it out. :/

The S47 indeed looks a bit meatier. I noticed the torso being a bit bigger: the hips the most, but waist and buste too. I wouldn't cal it an unfit person though. Phicens aren't as anorexic as Barbies, but they're still on the slim side.

I wasn't using "unfit" to mean "overweight", but was referring to the lack of muscle definition. A person can be slim and unfit.

'Unfit' does have a bit of a negative connotation, even if that's not what was intended. For me it's not that it looks unfit, just that there seems to be a bit less detail/definition in the actual mold than the 'prototype' version. I think this happens a lot with tbleague bodies, especially since they seem to change up their 'recipe' for the TPE regularly.
