Thank you sir! Here are some shots of them on Venice Beach...

Great shots. I like that Bing is stretching before her run. Nicely photographed and lit to match the background.

Nice photo with really neat settings.

I don't understand the body of this figurine. Sometimes it has joints like "hasbro" characters and other like a TB league figurine. So there are two types of bodies?
But the one like Tb league, it's totally like a TB league body or just the limbs.

Otherwise you made a small mistake.

This is not a photo of Italy, but of Paris, because of the typically Parisian street name plates.

Thanks, French.
Yes, the more recent photos I have posted of the City Girls are of the head sculpts on mostly WorldBox AT201 figures and TBLeague figures, only because there have been reports of the original figures peeling from friction of taking the outfits off and putting them back on. While, I have not seen this personally, they will stay with the original outfits in my display case. Meanwhile, the Mr.Z head sculpts are well proportioned - they are not as large as Super Duck heads and not as small as YMToys heads. So far, they go well with TBL and Worldbox. I love the kitbashing aspect of this hobby, therefore, the versatility of the head sculpt has allowed me to go wild.

The figures are unique - they have wider hips than any TBL figure I have seen. In my view, the thing that gives it away are the legs. When I have attempted to pose them in a sitting position, the legs do not stay in that position - especially at the hips. The only figures that I have seen do that are Jiaou figures.

You are correct! I recall wondering if anyone would catch that detail of the Parisian streets when I first posted it. I will post an amended update very soon.

Thanks Mark! She remembers to stretch before every activity!

I'll be catching up for a while here...

What a gorgeous series of images!!! I also love that contemplative rainy day image a lot, but I also love that series of skating photos! Love the lighting and the way you made it look so casual and real. Especially the play with focus!

Thanks very much, Diana!

Just curious - how is your Bing? Have you seen any hint of the peeling that was reported in other forums?

This is a photo from the Wonder Festival posted on BBICN. Looks like there might be two more city girls coming in the near future?

What’s with the seriously ugly bulldogs?

Back in May, someone posted a preview here as well:

Perhaps we will see pre-orders 1st quarter 2025 and then the girls arrive 4th quarter 2025?

..and it looks like we have a name of one of the new girls...Lei!

Mr.Z is known for a whole host of doggos. Maybe they could have chosen these two?

All the shots are gorgeous! Sadly, these ladies are too costly for me. I considered trying to get just the heads in an ebay auction that had low bids, but I backed down and they have flown off to some lucky happy soul

Lol that was probably my auction. One of them went for less than $50, the other went over $80.

LOL, it must have been! When the blonde one climbed over $50, I sighed in disappointment and trudged away. I'm glad it went over $80 for you

Great picture! They look very well together.
I love the first girl's boots! Can you tell me were are they from?

LOL, I was wondering that too. But unfortunately it seems that only Mr.Z himself knows the answer to this question.

I’m not a fan of the current bulldog boom/fad either, but the sculpts on these are actually really nice. Even better than the Gangster Kingdom ones.

Reminds me of some European actress whose name I can’t think of. Maybe I’m thinking of Monica Bellucci? I like this one so far.

I wonder what that is she has in her mouth?

Maybe a young Milla Jovovich. From "The Blue Lagoon" time.

I'm not sure what she has on her mouth but kind of seems like a pacifier?
