PHICEN is the same as TBLeague.  Same company, but due to branding "complications" a year or so ago they changed their brand name to TBLeague.  However, most still refer to them as PHICEN and the PHICEN name is still referenced/used.

JIAOU DOLL is a completely different and new company.  They offer their own 1:6 seamless body (female and male), but their design and quality is nowhere the design and quality as PHICEN/TBLeague.  JIAOU DOLL though does offer more skin tone selection that will better match some head sculpts, but that's about it.

The overall consensus I've seen is the majority still prefer PHICEN/TBLeague.  JIAOU DOLL is considered a cheaper alternative, but most are still hesitant about them.  Their male seamless bodies though offer more "junk" sizes compared to the male muscular bodies from PHICEN/TBLeague.

I hope the preceding enlightens you.

IMHO . . .

JIAOU DOLL bodies should be no where the near the same price as PHICEN/TBLeague bodies.

JIAOU DOLL bodies should be less.

I'm also weary of deceptive sellers pitching JIAOU DOLL bodies like PHICEN/TBLeague bodies.

Honest sellers will clearly differentiate between the real deal PHICEN/TBLeague bodies and JIAOU DOLL bodies.

The only good thing I’ve seen come out of the rise of Jiaou Doll is the price drop for TBLeague bodies; however, the price of a boxed set for TBL has gone up. You win, you lose...

This might help as a visual comparison. It’s from a recent ‘dusting’. The top and middle rows are all Phicen figures. The bottom row is Jiaou. Definitely some colour and build variations. It just depends what you’re looking to create. DFC’s summary is spot on. GubFan has some good comparison pics.

Can you please enlighten us with your selection of brushes for those of inclined to build our own collection of brushes to use with our seamless bodies?

Sure, it’s a make-up brush set from Amazon. It has 10 in the set with different shaped tips. I picked it out based on good reviews. It was the equivalent of about 8-10 USD if I recall. Lots of options online.

Thanks for posting that comparison photo. It's nice to see the skin tones side-by-side.

I'll buy it for use in caring for my PHICEN seamless ladies and possibly buy it for personal use on the last Saturday of every month at the cabaret club when I take the stage and . . .

OH . . . sorry. Wrong group to post that.

Ephiane, as DFC reported they are different companies. Jiaou bodies are cheaper not so much in price as in not having an entirely-steel skeleton (there are steel joints but not the entire skeleton). This makes their movement a little less smooth, and the range of movement and holding a pose is slightly inferior to the all-steel Phicen/TBLeague ones. The rubbery skin works similarly, but is a little less supple, and is reported to be a different material. The price of Jiaou products is surprisingly usually as high or higher as those by TBLeague.

When looking for specifically TBLeague (Phicen) bodies, throw in the product number (e.g., M30, M31, M32, M33, M34, and the upcoming M35 for males, and S23B or whatever for females).

Here is a comparison of the different Jiaou male and female bodies I had posted on OSW some time ago. Besides these, there is a KT body color for the female bodies, which is almost identical to but a little bit lighter than the wheat.
CAVEAT: After taking this photo, they went back into their respective boxes, and a few months later I discovered that the "brown" body had broken out into patches of more intensive coloring...

I know you do Wink I remember you asked about the "stickers." I hope you saw my replies back on OSW -- that these were digital, but I found you some actual sticker versions (which did not work nearly as well).

Here’s the link, but it’s to Amazon UK.  Not sure if available in the USA.

There's an Alicia Vikander Lara Croft set coming from GT Toys which recommends the TBLeague S17B Suntan (they refer to it as a Phicen S17B Wheat in their specs).

phicen - Phicen / Jiaou ? 35532614_925178224327927_5926668046545453056_n

I think that body would be too tall for Alicia as she's only 5' 6".

Anybody know whether the S17B Suntan is a close colour match for PopToys' Xing Suntan?

I can't help you on the body size, or color. That's a pretty good looking Lara set, though I'm not seeing Alicia in that sculpt at all (which is fine, I didn't really care for that movie).

Thanks for the pics. Do you guys recommend the black Jiaou doll figure? I probably want a black seamless one but TBLeague only have the very tall basketball body, don't they?

The last Jiaou body I bought that was “black” was years ago, and it was a weird Grey/yellow color. So, unless they changed the dye formula, I’d avoid. Not a lot of heads out there will match.
