Well, that's um... pretty much exactly who I'm making. So, cool Here she is so far (sans belt, of course):

What a cool coincidence!  Awesome - yours looks far better than mine did.  You probably also had a steadier hand drawing her eye of Horus.  

If you can find one, a nice addition would be a black 1/6 umbrella.  Some manufacturer was selling individual ones at one point -- for mine I used the one that came with DiD Becker, which has the character-appropriate bonus of a miniskull shaped handle.  Your lady looks great already, she'll be perfect with the belt.

Thanks! I surprised myself by getting the spiral on the first try, but the dark around the eyes was a bit tougher. I'm still not 100% happy with that part. Mainly the fact that it looks somewhat different on each eye.

And I actually do have a miniskull-handled umbrella on its way from China. It's probably the same one as yours, although this one was sold individually along with various other styles. The handle is also a hidden blade that comes out. But I'll have no use for that aspect.

Thank you! She's mostly finished; I'm just waiting on a few accessories, the belt, and a different shirt. The one she has currently only looks good when her jacket's on. Partly because it turned out to not really be what I was looking for... but also because one of the straps broke as I was putting it on her

She looks good. The belt will definitely help the overall look.

Moonbase Alpha Male that a great tip for using a watch straps as a belt.

I have an update to my belt situation, and this may also prove useful to someone else. I found a store on eBay called "Rawhide Outfitters" that sells custom-made 1:6 scale leather items. Their selection seems to be mostly Western themed, with a couple exceptions. On a whim I messaged them with a picture of the Death character and asked if they'd be willing to make a replica of her belt. They said they'd gladly do it, and the cost would only be $12 USD! Now I wish I'd waited before jumping right on that other belt I just purchased. But I'm sure I can still find a good use for it.

I seek the help of the Forum membership for a bash I'm trying to create.

I'm looking into a figure portraying Chris Hemsworth in the movie "Extraction".  I do have most of the gear though still looking for some bits and pieces.  Where I'm stuck is with the headsculpt; I don't want to spend a boatload of $$ in a custom-made CH exact head.  I'm looking for a commercially available head that resembles Mr. Hemsworth.  If you could point me in the right direction I'd very much appreciate it.  Here's some pics from the movie:

Staying away from Hot Toys, there are one or more knock offs of the HT cropped-hair (Ragnarock) head sculpt (for example, see HERE or, unpainted HERE). Or how about the Easy & Simple 26032 Lone Rescuer head sculpt (you might want to do some weathering and repainting) you can see here:


Or maybe the DAM 78057 Green Beret you can see on the left here:

the Crazy Toys Thor Ragnarok might be an option

neck would need modding but plenty parts left over for other customs: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CRAZY-TOYS-1-6-SCALE-THOR-RAGNAROK-COLLECTIBLE-FIGURE-MODEL-STATUE-12-INCH/114271993975?hash=item1a9b244077:g:GNMAAOSwGRFe8fAT

KNow it's a long shot, but wondering if anyone has seen anywhere the Ourworld Sorceress figure.



I've been meaning to pick up, and have put off so many times.  I recently finished a custom Witcher 3 Geralt, and thought I really should finally get Yennifer too, but I may have waited to long, and now I'm kicking myself.  Any leads (besides the few on ebay that are just BRUTAL) would be so appreciated.

hi yall, I cant find any of the tbleague premade figures in stock. I'm looking for narama, tariah, or fighter woman. If you see these in stock at normal price at a reputable source please let me know

On ebay, all I'm seeing for Tariah is parted out pieces... you may be able to reconstruct the figure that way. The head in particular is available for a very low price at the moment.

Otherwise, there's this listing, but it's quite pricey:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARH-STUDIOS-TBLeague-the-SILVER-VALKYRIE-TARIAH-1-6-Action-Figure-30-cm-ARH/153937205514?epid=3038220027&hash=item23d75f590a:g:znQAAOSwADZewj-2

If it were me, I'd pick up the available loose pieces and put together my own version.


The others you've mentioned are less recent and might be even more difficult to find. Though sometimes at Monkey Depot you can mesage them and mention you are looking for certain older tbleague figures and see if they have any leads, they may be able to assist you.

Hello!

I apologize if this is in the wrong spot!

I've been lurking for forever but now I must jump in and be social!
I've had a Jiaou Doll European body for about 6 months, not my first but this is the first I've seen where it's peeling horribly. Breasts, both shoulders, side of the breast and on an arm and I haven't done much other than pose her a couple times!

She's going to need a new body, I can't go back to another Jiaou Doll European body because I don't trust the durability. The specific character that was on the Jiaou is supposed to be curvy/voluptuous and right now, the s21-B that I currently have her on, is okay but the body doesn't have hips.

So, I'm looking for a TBLeague body "close enough" to the Jiaou Doll European shape. I was looking at the suntan s39 but if anyone has any other options, I'd be more than happy to hear them!

Thanks so much!

This sounds pretty horrible. I've had problems with Jiaou Doll staining (or rather breaking out into blotches of color some time after removing the staining) but not exactly this. A TBLeague body would be advisable indeed. While I don't own this particular Jiaou body to compare with, I believe you are correct, the S39A (which, despite the A, is suntan!) would indeed be the closest TBLeague product; if you want/need slightly smaller breasts (for a "medium" rather than "large" bust), you can also try the S29B (and TBLeague's "medium" is still quite "large"). Some members have reported occasional quality issues with S29B bodies, though I have been lucky enough to not encounter them in the two I have. You can check out our TBLeague catalog thread for photos and more information:

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the help!
I've had many Jiaou bodies in the past and they've never reacted this way but after this last one, it really put me off because the quality of the bodies are so spotty. Other than my own user error, I've never had a problem with TBLeague bodies.
So the S39A it is, thanks again!

Hello!! New here~ i'm sorry if this is TOTALLY the wrong place to ask this, but I don't want to start a whole new post on a topic that may seem trivial!

I'm looking for a seamless body for my VeryCool Eighth Route medic (my first 1/6 figure!) And have found the process... Confusing. ~_~

Hello, and welcome!

Don't worry, it's understandable to be confused....there are a lot to choose from. Some of the members of this forum have been putting together a 'catalogue' of sorts of various Tbleague/Phicen seamless bodies:


https://onesixthfigures.forumotion.com/t3013-tbleague-phicen-seamless-bodies-with-steel-skeleton-catalog-updated-continually

The main things you probably need to figure out or decide prior to getting a seamless body are a) what skintone would match the headsculpt (with tbleague, they only offer pale or suntan), b) whether you want to be able to remove the feet in order to use it with different types of footwear (and have it be able to stand up on its own, which I assume you do in this case), and b) what height/body shape would fit the outfit best.

A while back I asked about what tbleague bodies are most comparable to a VeryCool body, and while there wasn't one that was an exact match, I do recall that someone here was able to fit the VeryCool Villa outfit onto an s17b body. A lot of this stuff can be trial and error, but hopefully some of the above info will give you a place to start. : )

Agreed. Also, take a look at some of the other bodies, such as Pop Toys/Xing semi-seamless bodies — they are pretty nice looking, though not entirely seamless, and infinitely cheaper than TBLeague.

Though, it’s not entirely clear from your post, are you looking for a male or female body?

Hello!! thank you all so much for the replies, this link is SUPER useful!!

As for the body, I'm looking for a small female body. I believe the skin color is "wheat" And I'd love to find a small-busted one, but the options there seem fairly limited

I've purchased one body already, the 05B-YS. But the color is WAY off, and the body itself is nearly a head taller than the one that came with my figure.

I think some of the shorter TBL figures would be perfect, but I'm not sure what color would be the closest to the head i have.

Thanks again so much!

And yes, unfortunately Tbleague does not yet produce a body that is both petite *and* that has a smaller bust (this is something that frustrates me, too). But of the petite Tbleague bodies, the s25b is a good one and has been compatible with some VeryCool heads in the past (the VC Villa, for instance). For a body with a small bust, the s17b is great, though unfortunately it's on the tall side.

Agree with Stryker that you might have some luck with the PopToys Xing bodies, as they come in small bust versions and are quite petite in the sense they are short (same height as the s25b).

As for the skintone, perhaps seeing a pic of the headsculpt/figure in question would give us a better idea of what skintone would match.

The first photo shows a TBLeague S24A Pale body with a I8 Toys H008 head sculpt which is nicely sized for the S24/25 series bodies. The second photo shows a size comparison between the S24 and other bodies. I would be very leery about trying to use the S24 for your figure however as I suspect the clothing originally supplied will be too large. I had to do some considerable tailoring to the shorts to get them to fit this model properly. This being said, the body is very well proportioned and I wish TB League would make a similar one in the larger sizes.

thanks again!



here is the body in question, with the 05B-YS underneath.

at this point too, after reading more about different bodies on the market, i'm not opposed to getting a "medium bust" since that seems to be the most common.

From a quick glance at the VeryCool body as compared to the Jiaou (?) body in the pic, if you are going for a Tbleague body as a replacement, it looks like you'd need a suntan one. And I do agree wtih ThePhotogsBlog that the s25b is likely too petite to fit into the VeryCool clothing without some major tailoring. It might work with the headsculpt if you were planning to change the outfit, but if you want to just convert the figure as-is onto a seamless body, then you'd have to go for one with a more comparable stature (possibly the s17b I mentioned above?).

I agree with Skywalkersaga. The S17B is most likely the best body for your project if you're going to use TBL.

S17B it is!

though, honestly the clothes being baggy is actually a plus to me! it adds to the realism~ recourses for weapons and uniforms were incredibly limited. during the 1940s, some whole units never received uniforms. just using armbands for identification.

i've actually bought a bunch of equipment for her too, i'm hoping to get a few more figures in this line in the coming months!

looking forward to being a part of this community <3
