I'm thinking the torsos look more like hard material than rubber. Usually WorldBox just does hard plastic (or 'ceramic'?) , right? The photos don't show them bending at the waist, which is why I am thinking that.

On the articulation side tho, the knees and elbows are really ugly, I still think poptoys xing bodies are the best option for jointed bodies... I'll probably grab one just to see!

I meant to comment (though others have done that before in reference to their male body sets) about the excellent detail on the hands and feet. They really are very finely sculpted. The thing is that one of the reasons that is so apparent is the shinier nature of the plastic -- so if you want to use these on TBLeague bodies, you'd have to repaint them anyway, at the very least to dull the shine.FreakinLobster wrote:The delicate details on those hands and feet are incredible. Hope TBL catches up with that.
I also wish TBL would make a body with the proportions of this at202 body, with broader hips. Jointed bodies still struggle with some key articulations, like crossing legs or approaching arms.
Regarding skin tone, my last hope is that those hands and feet match TBL color, at least a bit.

I just discovered onesixth figures recently and bought one after reading posts here!...
I refrained from buying TBLeagues S36/S37 (the anime one, though still tempted to buy due to superior number of joints compared to this one) because the shoulders are too broad compared to the waist and this one feels just right!
If TBleague releases a short model with narrow shoulders and a slightly narrower waist, with the hips joints/the widest part of the legs just slightly narrower than the shoulders(well similar to this one ha), I think a LOT of us will scramble for one.
Someone here made a custom Biggie and as far as I remember dyed the World box body for it, although not sure were it was posted, probably in the tbleauge dying thread.Lynkhart wrote:Oh I LOVE these, especially the curvier one!The joints are a bit ugly, especially the knees from the back, but I’d rather have guaranteed flexibility than weird looking pinched ‘skin’ around the joints. I wish more companies would do their visible joints like the Obitsu 24cm bodies, they’ve got really natural and subtle looking articulation without sacrificing movement.
Out of interest, has anyone ever successfully dyed a Worldbox body? I’ve been looking for the ideal figure to customise to my current D&D character; a rather strikingly blue tiefling, and I don’t like seamless bodies. The A202 would be perfect for her!
Now that sounds like a bargain1 pair of gunmen

We are aware that the waist being fixed limits the possibilities a lot, but (unfortunately) I think this one has the best body that accommodates to the deformed body ratio we are accustomed to.

In terms of what you are looking for, have you considered the S44/45 bodies? They are petite (same height as S24/25), have fairly narrow shoulders and tiny waists, without being specifically advertised as anime. I'm not much of a fan of this model, but it might possibly work for your purposes.

Welcome to the board! Nice of you to join!
I came into this hobby for the same reason, so I have a variety of bodies by now. I do like the S37 as an anime body. Did you see the recent Sailor Moon release? It is being made exactly for this body, and with all that shoulder fluff stuff the shoulders look just right.![]()
And don't forget the 1/12 anime bodies! I never got one of those, but I think they do look great and are a little cheaper than the 1/6 bodies. And due to the smaller size they are also easier to photograph.
