Thanks GubernatorFan. The pants are not from Jiaou. I bought them last year on ebay. You are correct about the staining The abdomen is a soft plastic and within hours the pants stained it. The legs are hard plastic so I was easily able to get rid of those stains.

Ouch! Glad you managed to fix it!

Here my contribution. It is very strange to contemplate a body with normal female proportions, I suppose that the effect of consuming only Tbleague.  



The joints are stiff, especially in the ankles, but I think it is an excellent purchase.







The suntan skin tone is almost perfect for my Avengers Black Widow, slight yellow tint on the face in relation to the body, but it is hardly noticeable.
My problem now will be to find a suitable civilian wardrobe for the character.

Lastly, does anyone know what this is for?

Got mine in the mail today. I went with pale instead of suntan, so I figured I would put some pictures up.







The body is more pink than I expected. I would have to repaint some pale heads to make them match the body tone better. The rubber part of the body is very similar to the Poptoys XING body. It looks nicer, but I don't think it's really any more flexible. The torso's ability to flex and hold poses isn't that great, at least not like a TBLeague figure. There's not much articulation in the shoulder/clavicle area either, so you can't make the figure shrug or sloop their shoulders. Most people probably don't care about that, but for me that means its use as an art model is more limited. I do like whatever plastic material the limbs are made out of- it feels heavier and harder than the stuff on the XING body. Gives the figure weight and makes it feel solid. The joints are stiff and hold poses well.

Overall, it's an aesthetic upgrade over the XING body, but functionally not really that much different. The main problem with this figure, like the XING body, is the cheap rubber used for the torso isn't really all that flexible.

I like it. The articulation issues don't bother me as I don't foresee any poses I'd be doing where that would be necessary. I think I want to get at least one of these regular/petite versions (in suntan) to try for a custom Padme figure.

Good question, Cisco, I don't know (besides, haven't received mine yet).

Allright, I found some clothes in my dump box. I'm really liking the worldbox body, I hope they release more models in the future, it's been a long time since I enjoyed an articulated body instead of a silicone one. I like what I see

Glad to see that seamless abs area came in useful. She looks good.

Wow! More stunning photos, and especially that last one, Cisco. She looks fantastic!! And that head of course is a stunner. 

How tall are these compared to the S23 or S29 or S25?

thanks GubernatorFan the jacket doesn't help and I'll probably get a tighter one, but overall the silhouette as a whole pleases me

Sorry Diana, quick photos, I didn't have time to put them in a neutral pose   , but I hope they are useful to you



Nicole the Pumpkin is S39B



Francine is S25B, she wears the same boots, but since she is arched due to the pose it is not well appreciated, however I think the Wordbox AT201 is a little higher



Jill shows off the classic s12d


The heel of the Black Widow boots is 1 cm high (0.393701 inches)

Cisco, thank you for those photos. They help already. So she is not overly tall, but not overly short either. That's nice.

I'm still on the fence concerning these bodies. I really like the overall body shapes, and I found fitting clothes for both, but posing them is still problematic. More often than not, I end up with poses that don't quite look right, as ankle and hip joints don't move the way I would like them to...

I wish TBLeague would produce something like these bodies, because posing their bodies is still so much superior.

Nice photo, Ralf. I’m still on the fence about these, and I love WB bodies as my go-to jointed for the males. Maybe once I see one in-hand, it’ll change…

I agree, beautiful photo, Ralf.

They look gorgeous! But I'm hardly willing to compromise on articulation and stability so I understand your judgment. I hope TBL are taking note. How amazing that would be.

I still think it would be worth having at least one of each model, for variety purposes, but yeah, I don't think they would be something I'd be *replacing* tbleague bodies with anytime soon. ; )

Some comparison photos between this body, a Phicen, and the POPToys xing body. Turns out this torso has even less articulation than the xing body. You can bend it farther yourself, but it will bounce back due to the stiffness of the rubber torso. I wasn't expecting Phicen levels of flexibility, but I have to say I was a little disappointed at the stiffness of the torso.

As I mentioned earlier it's an aesthetic improvement over the xing body, but after playing around with it some more I would argue it's actually a step backwards in terms of articulation.

Very informative comparison and well done pics! The second pic is kinda shocking

But the body still has a great shape when you see them side by side on the first pic. Depending on the poses you wanna make, it can be good enough...

It's bizarre because I feel like there is little point in making the torso out of rubber if there is not going to be much articulation there. I honestly would have prefered to have a nicely sculpted body that was all plastic for once, but ah well. I do think it still has its uses. : )

I’m guessing it’s for all those midriff baring clothes, but it could still be done with hard plastic based on the overall design of the body. Perhaps it’s to also to avoid the inevitable “shine” of hard plastic…?

Perhaps, but the male worldbox bodies aren't shiny.....are they?

No, they are not. You are correct. So, then, honestly, there really isn’t a reason for it…

Well, gooboo's photo confirms it. The size is a definite plus. Othersiwe, TBLeague strangely leads in articulation.

There are things I like about this worldbox body but then things I don't. The hand sculpts are quite nice, as are the knee and legs (when standing straight at least). But the hips seem a bit weird, at least on this smaller of the two models. I prefer the hip shape of the PopToys body.

The thigh gap is too exaggerated on the Worldbox model, that's what I think looks too weird about it. The xing body definitely has better hips. But I agree the hand and feet sculpts of the worldbox body look better than both Phicen's and POPToys.

The AT-201 works well as a replacement body for Hot Toys Baby Doll. The Tan colour is a good match, just added a touch more red. The ankles need drilling out a fraction to fit the Hot Toys pegs. I am very pleased as the outfit fits well, maybe a touch tight around the bust. She can now bend her arms past 90° to get the iconic pistol holding pose. Height is almost spot on for Emily. Neck looks long in photo, not like that in person.

It's always nice when a body works out so well with an outfit! She does look good. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, that swap turned out very well.

Mind if I ask what where you using on the S25B body (second pic)?
