TBLeague Super Flexible Female Seamless Bodies S24A-S27B

I know the frustration, Stryker! I'm sure it will still look good, but it would indeed be nice to be able to recreate characters' and/or real people's heights and statures a bit more accurately.

Yah, it's too bad we can't just kitbash these bodies :/

Thanks in large part to the very generous help and advice I received on this thread, I was finally able to finish my first figure using one of these smaller tbleague bodies!

While I already posted these pics over on their own thread, I just wanted to share them here as well:









She is a 'realistic' interpretation of an animated Clone Wars-style Padme Amidala, on s25b body, with a PeakToys headsculpt, repainted by me. : )

Thanks again to everyone who went out of their way to provide pics and answer questions, especially to GF for those awesome height comparison photos! Being able to use seamless bodies for more petite female characters has really opened a lot of doors for me, and I now can't wait to work on others as well!

You are welcome. Given the nature of the outfit, perhaps using a seamless body really does make enough of a difference. I hadn't realized you repainted the head, in which case you did a super nice job.

Yeah! When I first started I was intending to use a jointed body for it, but I hadn't realized just how badly the joints would show through the fabric of the pale coloured suit. It was noticeable enough that I felt it worth seeking out a suitable seamless body instead, and I'm glad I did, even if it did end up meaning a lot of re-adjustment of the outfit, etc. It was worth it. : )

Aw, thank you! :') While the paint on the original PeakToys headsculpt is 'ok', it just doesn't look like Padme to me, hence the need for a repaint. I guess the fact that it wasn't immediately noticeable is a good sign?

@skywalkersaga I need to find your thread, in the meantime, wow, she looks perfect!

Here you go, Peaches. Glad you could make it back.

Great Pictures and use of the new ...teenager Bodys.... ! I used mine for the Twi´lek Character. I cut the steel legs to made her smaller, because i want to have her for another project... more child than teenager.

Thanks again, Peaches! <3

And your Twi'lek girl is lovely, Ephiane. These smaller bodies are indeed versatile, with a bit of imagination... :')

Love those two, they're amazing.  You really color them well. Does the color really not rub off? I'm still thinking of turning a phican into a dark skin color, but I don't want it to rub off on the clothes because I'd love to have several outfits for his character.

It doesn’t rub off at all, as long as you just give it a good rinse (or several) to remove the residue that accumulates from the oil pastel .... the overall effect is more like dyeing it than painting it, I have found.

I'm saving my pennies to get another s17/18 body then for Zoe

Ooh, yay, that'll look awesome!

It's ironic how the average human adult woman is 6.5 of her own heads tall, including her head, yet when a figure is 6.5 or even 7 of her own heads tall, she looks out of proportion and like her head is too big. Putting the same head on a 23B or other taller one would take her to her head being too small to fir proportionately were she a real human woman, yet that's the was we've become accustomed to seeing figures.

Aria - I do agree that people's perceptions are probably a bit skewed at times due to being so used to the overly-tall tbleague bodies. That said, in the case of the s27b, I feel like the issue is not solely that the sculpts are too big on it, but also that the shoulders on the body itself are proportionately too small. 

Speaking of which, I had a question for doodlehobby -- when you did your experiment with the various heads on the s27b, one of the ones that looked passable was the Villa sculpt. It seemed alright when the body was dressed in an outfit that hid its narrow shoulders, but I'm curious how that head looked on that extra small body when it has bare shoulders? I'm guessing that, like most, it can't help but look a bit bobblehead-ish that way, but I'm just curious.

I'll post a pic with bare shoulders when I get a chance.

Aw, thanks — no rush!

I haven't yet played with the 26/27, but the 24/25 looks great with the heads that most people are putting on 23<. I've heard very little about the 26/27 that's very complimentary.

Yes, finding heads that work with the s24a-s25b is not nearly as difficult. The original comparison chart that was on many of the listings for the smaller bodies showed a circle atop each of the bodies as a stand-in for the head, and it was the same size for the regular bodies as it was for the 24-25 range. It was only the s26a-s27b that had a smaller circle, showing that they were designed for a smaller-sized head. But since no one ever put out any official heads to go with those, one is left to scour the earth trying to find something that works. I do think they were made moreso to work with stylised Obitsu heads, but it’s nonetheless frustrating for those who want to use them for anything else.

They both look pretty good. I especially like the white top and pink polka-dot skirt set; very cute.

I second Stryker's comment -- that is my favorite, too, but they are both very suitable outfits and head sculpts. Speaking of which, I couldn't help but notice these are both examples of a common inherent flaw with female 1/6 figures -- the width of the head's neck opening as opposed to the neck going into it. Michael Crawford was referring to this in a recent review, and this illustrates the point; perhaps the size of these bodies exacerbates the potential for this occurring. The corresponding common flaw in male figures is the oversized hands. But back to the point, the heads you chose work very well with the bodies scale-wise and the hair can conceal the "neck problem" in most instances.

Thanks Stryker2011, GubernatorFan for the Positive Assessment.

The neck opening to the neck I did not notice before. Now that you say it, I can see it on some photos. I try next time with the hair to conceal the "neck problem".

I don't think I'd ever seen those headsculpt 'in-hand' before, thanks for sharing!


And yeah, that head/neck issue is something that I don't really notice in person, and which I tend to only see later on after looking through pics I've taken during a photoshoot. Frustrating, especially when trying to do any kind of tied-back hairstyle, which is required when recreating certain characters!

Interesting travelogue pics. It’s like they’re on vacation. That green dress with the screaming faces is funny, and a bit disturbing.

I agree, the combinations turned out very well, and they look pretty good with the background photos. I few of them are set in Ukraine.

Yes, the screaming faces dress is my favourite too.  I don't own any of those smaller bodies, but I guess you could do a lot more different poses. I mean they have steel skeletons, don't be afraid! ;D
Also, nice Kiev vibes.

Ha, I am someone who struggles with posing tbleague bodies. Is it just me, or is it almost impossible to put them back into the 'neutral' position once you start posing them?? Idk, I find it especially hard to realign the hips and shoulders once I start messing around with them, which maybe is why I'm hesitant to do too much. For me it happens with both the regular sized and the petite bodies. Also the very few male bodies I've tried. Sounds silly, but I actually do struggle with that. :3
