White Men Can Jump! Enterbay's Luka Dončić and more, updated 9 February 2024 (photo heavy)

Thanks for the wonderful tattoo pictures, I wouldn't have thought it would be so easy to get detailed tattoos on the TBL body.

Diana wrote:That's one good looking figure!

Of course I agree that the TBL body looks soooo much better, and I also agree that the paint job makes him look too youthful. A little more contrast as per the photo would have been more accurate and more interesting looking. But the head is still great, especially compared to the other one. 

Great review and great posing! That shot next to Homelander put a big smile on my face.

Thank you very much, Diana, glad you liked it. I remember about you and wiry dudes! Which inspired me to take a few more snapshots that you might like.





Hope you liked it. Of course, the M36 body is impossibly tall for Timothy Olyphant (and still a little too tall for David Hasselhoff for that matter -- when will we get his likeness in our scale?), but the M30 body is actually about right for Colin McGregor.

You're welcome, but do you think they really work? The quality of the detail is pretty good, in fact quite impressive. But they seem overly obvious as decals and not very practical. They make do in a pinch, but if only we could apply Gundam Real Touch Marker finely enough, I think we would have a better result. For your fantasy characters, with their often premodern fantasy appearance, I think these markers would make do. See HERE, HERE, and HERE again. Confusingly, the bigger cap goes over the finer tip.

BWAHAHA, yes, very much appreciated.

I'm glad you liked it! And thank you for the inspiration to goof around (honestly, I don't need much of an excuse to do so).

And as for the M36, no I don't have

It definitely creases, but hasn't peeled off as a whole, except for little fragments here and there. At this point I hope it peels off more and I can clean up

I read that baby oil would remove the tattoos at least in the life size tpe dolls. Maybe this information can help.

Thank you for this information. I will look into it.
So for simpler and less fine-detailed designs, the Gundam Real Touch Markers should do (as discussed starting HERE).

Ha, Timolanky looks oddly harmonic, if you are able to forget the head is based on a real person.

Sad news about the tattoos, but if someone could be called a tbleauge experimenting pioneer, you would be one.

Unfortunately I don't care about bastkeball players, I might have heard that this man exists, but that's it.

Yes, true about Timothy. I thought the head fit ok, even if the resulting proportions were not true to life. Apparently Diana is a big fan of this head and of lanky wiry guys, so I had to try it out.

And thanks for the kind words. Although I'm not as innovative as Ephiane and gooboo, I do like to check out these bodies' potential. I think I'm going to stick to Gundam Real Touch Markers and simpler "tribal" tattoo designs, insofar as I'm going to make any. They do work so much better than decals, practically speaking.

I don't follow basketball, and only have a small handfull of sporty figures, but I liked this set enough to add something different in the collection (something I do much less these days than before). And it gives me something to do with the lanky white M36 body. Anyway, most of my knowledge of Luka is based on research undertaken after the product announcement and after I got the set.

Like I mentioned to Ovy, most of what I know is from researching after the product announcement and after getting the set and deciding to review it. And much of that was finding photos of poses to replicate. I just wanted something different.  I know most of us aren't very sports-oriented in our collections, so I figured it might be something different for others to see as well. And I think Enterbay has both fulfilled and unfulfilled potential here, their bodies being interesting, yet imperfect choices for this type of thing.

I'm happy to see different figures on here and I'm glad you try out different things.
I do follow quiet some sports even without watching a single game of football (soccer), handball or basketball. I just follow the sports news and live tickers across the internet. So I've at least heard about Doncic.

Thanks for the pics, always interesting to see.

OT:
Sometimes I think the market for sport figures should be bigger - every kid I know has some soccer player as an idol. Even me in my youth. But it is a fringe hobby and very expensive for younger kids. And I'm tired of seeing only messi and ronaldo. I think there are many dudes who want their 80s and 90s football player on the shelf I guess.

Thank you, Simon, I'm glad I brought up something a bit different.
And I agree, completely: such things should be more mainstream and we should get more. How about Marco van Basten? As for Messi, I'm ready for Puma Messi instead! One thing that might help keep prices down (of course that is not necessarily what producers would want) is to make these as sets with head sculpts, elastic clothes, and easy fit footwear, and let the customer decide what body to put them on.

Bit more offtopic (sorry)

Van Basten hehe, talking about football players:

Funnily enough, when I saw this Schwarzenegger head, my thoughts wandered to a Lothar Matthäus








When working with heads in this hobby, you always get these impressions..."I know that head looks like...XY"

But Arnold is too well known to work as Matthäus I would assume lol

I can see it. It could work with the right painting.

I can see it too. Arnold's face's lower half is a bit more squarish, but yes, there is plenty of similarity. That said, this would be a good likeness to have in sixth scale -- whether to portray the player himself or some random character, it is just different from is out there.

That's one tall figure, do normal 1/6 scale clothes fit on that body?

Thanks for commenting. Yes he is, though appropriate for a basketball player. The TBLeague also comes with a pair of magnetic hands! You can put the clothes on, because the body is fairly slender, but it depends on what kind of clothes there are as to whether there is a good fit. Shorts and most shirts are ok, but long pants give it away if not long enough. For example, see here:
