Visisonor-induced visions

Great positioning!

These synthetics are so expressive and so is your posing. Great combination!

How sweet and touching -- expressed even through toys representing robots. I'd say that's a success!

Thank you all

I do like what you've done with the 1/12 scale figures. I've moved one of my stories (Red Sonja) over to 1/12, as the 1/6 version was taking up too much space. I need to get back to that story at some point.

I was going to get some of those crash dummy characters, but in the end didn't, as I couldn't see how they'd fit into the story. But I do have some of those military figures you have, and I also went to the TBLeague coloured Imperial Guardians that are to make an appearance in Red Sonja at some point. Along with a lot of other 1/12 scale figures.

Your photography looks great too.

For Phicen joints, I just take to photoshop and edit them out.

Crash dummies actually have their issues. Both of my figures have cracked wrist joins (not completely broken but the joint itself comes apart too easily) and they feel kind of fragile. But they work for my purposes.

I remember this story - if it's the one that started with 1/6 figures and then transitioned to 1/12 scale - though I can't find where it was posted (other than several pages on flickr).
Hope you continue it.

I didn’t post the Red Sonja story on here because some of the native tribe members were rather skimpily dressed. Some were topless and others just nude. It made prepping the figures for the story easy. But I know forumotion has strict rules on being child friendly, so it didn’t appear here. Or maybe it did for awhile. But the main story is over on the forum MWD (Men With Dolls). But there’s only two chapters so far, and yes it did start in 1/6 and move to 1/12, mainly because the straw hut I built was going to be too big in 1/6 scale. I have also stories of Spy Training Camp, and Phicen Photo Studio. Both of these are 1/6 scale though. All my stories stopped for awhile during a down time of the hobby. Starting back up now though. There was also a one off series that involved 1/6 and 1/12 which was my Concert Stage, which is on here.

Red Sonja is planned to continue…

Joys of a (Cat)woman

While JoyToy continues announcing new figures in their Frontline Chaos line, I've grabbed a parted-out body (and boots) from an earlier release (Rin).

It picked my interest because I thought it was closer to Mezco scale and proportions (which it actually is). And it is quite good for a jointed body:


Elbows bend all the way in, knees a bit less so but still great, there is an upper arm swivel, but ab crunch is not exceptional. Neck has only one dumbbell join on top, the neck itself is fixed. Still, it has better articulation than any female body from Mezco.

Moreover, it is compatible with Mezco heads and hands. There is some difference in neck joint sizes even between Mezco heads, so some heads may require rubber liners or tac, but they fit.
This is how it looks with unmasked Catwoman head and black bodysuit from eBay (the back still needs to be sewn):







With relation to proportions, it is closer to Mezco than VeryCool:



And maybe leans to more animated look - wider hips, larger boots

With cinematic Harley head:


And this is how she stacks up against TBLeague:


And since I've already tried the T05B head on Mezco bodies, I also did it on this one:

It sits too high again (and skintone does not match), so if I really wanted to use it I'd have to drill the head a little deeper. Maybe I should get a pale head with dark hair though. Hmm...

Finally, some uncensored shots. It has some realistic details but not as much as TBL:

nsfw:

Overall, I quite like this body. Back when I joined, I was looking for a better-articulated Mezco-style body, and finally I have found it.

You managed some very good poses with this body.

Excellent stuff! a great looking team, for sure!

Ready when you are

Thanks!

Undisclosed mission some time in the past:

Here they go!

Beautiful, as usual.

Not the best day for sparring

Inspired by londonroadhog's Spy Training Camp series - a friendly sparring between Vera and Kate.

Chronologically set while Kate is writing her diary, so she is not the best shape.

















- C'mon Kate, I know you can do better!
- Not my day...

Great sequence! Colin has inspired quite a few with his amazing sparing sessions.

Very nice… which reminds me, I need to give the agents some more training sessions.

Very nice sequence. You could almost do stop-motion animation with it.

Thanks Dal.

Definitely! Looking forward to your updates.

GubernatorFan wrote:You could almost do stop-motion animation with it.

Glad that it looks like this. Let's just say I'm too lazy to take enough frames for the actual stop motion.

Superb balancing and posing! I think it’s great how you caught the hair swishing around for motion, it’s those little details that add so much.

Thanks, Tanzenwolfe.
"Real" hair adds a lot of realism, even at this scale.

You knew this all along

Unused scene from the last chapter of Diary of a field agent. It is too similar to an earlier scene, and the chapter was getting too long already, so I did not include it.


- So you knew it all along and never told anyone... Or maybe you've tried but we couldn't understand.

I've also stumbled upon skintone matching problem while shooting it.
Linda is based on VeryCool head and VeryCool body. I always thought they were supposed to match, and I always thought all VeryCool 1/12 female bodies were quite pale. But didn't actually verify it. Here is how she looks up close:


And yet between pale and suntan TBL bodies, it's the suntan that actually matches the color of the head:

Interesting, post id is 100000. That's a get.

Nice shot. And such a cute little stool. Phicen female "suntan" is actually quite pale, so not surprised.

Nice deleted scene!

I like that scene! Works very well on its own

Thanks!

Always impressed when you manage something so realistic in that scale. And to see that my suspicion that one could put those corner protectors to good use is correct. I have a stack or two or three of them, but haven't really done anything with them.
PS Thank you for using good common sense as to what to display on this forum.

OMG I didn't see that. That is GENIUS!!

I, too, have a stack of them. I use them for sending out box sets I've sold. But this is waaay better.
