*Edited to add the S44*

Hey everyone! I decided that I would take my original post and update it with more detailed information. I have added some TBL bodies, and thought it was time to update this, and have some fun with some stupid # comments.

My methodology:

My methodology has not changed at the core. I am a researcher by training, and as such I am quite picky when it comes to things like scale measurements and the like. I wanted then to be as accurate as possible, while making it easy to use.

I own the s07c, s09c, s10d, s16a, s20a, s23b, s38, s42, s44, s48, and s52a for the ladies, and a single m34 for the guys. Each female body was posed based on this image so that its posture would be as close to accurate as possible.

Each measurement was taken in millimeters for accuracy, and rounded to the nearest millimeter for ease of use.


Originally I had measured each body first to the neck peg, then with two heads, one which I customized, the other straight out of the box, listing which head got which measurement. This time around I opted for a more consistent approach:

- Same neck/head adapter
- Same resin cast head
- Two separate leg lengths (will explain shortly).

The neck adapter should come with most heads and will likely vary greatly, so if there is a wildcard here, it is this.

The head however, is not. I used a head I cast in resin for a custom I have been working on for what feels like forever. While she is a reject (I broke her ear  Sad  ), she fits snuggly on the head connector without moving, and most importantly she is BALD! There is now NO guesswork where the top of the head is! The head itself measures 35.34mm from bottom of the chin to the top of the crown. For those wanting a picture, here you go!

As for two separate leg lengths, let me explain. I am sure many of you know this, and my stupid self would have known it as well had I read the stupid instructions that come with these bodies, that the area where the hip is is double jointed. You can quite literally change the length of the leg at the hip with these. Not new I am sure.

I decided to include that measurement, one with the legs fully extended, the other with the legs fully retracted, to show the full range of possible heights. Fun fact, it ranges anywhere from a 4mm to a 6mm difference. Let that sink in on just how much that is in this scale.

I have also gotten into making my own clothes for my figures, partly because it is cheaper, partly because it is fun, mostly because I can do what I want. The result is this grouping of measurements:

- shoulder width
- waist width
- hip width
- arm inseam
- leg inseam
- underbust (for the female bodies)

Hopefully these measurements will be helpful to someone, be it out of interest or to make their own stuff.

I do not have any pictures at the time either because I am not happy with how they turned out and want to reshoot.

One final note, but I do not have the whole suite of measurements for the s16a I own. She is currently put together as a character and I have no desire to mess with that. Her measurements are as accurate as I currently can make them.

Non-TBL bodies for comparison

I had originally asked Randam Hajile for the base measurements of the AT201 (thanks Ralf!), so once I bought one I wanted to get it posted for reference.

WorldBox AT201 (I used the Head Sculpt that came with the TBL s42 (with red hair) for the height measurements)
- Height to top of neck peg: 250mm
- Height to top of Headsculpt: 270mm  
- Bust: 135mm
- Underbust: 110mm
- Waist: 101mm
- Waist width: 33mm
- Hips: 156mm
- Hips width: 59mm
- Shoulder width: 67mm
- Arm inseam: 82mm
- Leg inseam: 110mm
- Thigh circumference: 86mm

*Notes*

The s52a is one of the more unique bodies I own at this point. It is basically the s42 with removable feet, which doesn't surprise anyone. But where it is really unique is the difference in height you can achieve by adjusting the legs/hips. On average, there is a 4mm height difference when adjusting both legs/hips up into the body (which TBL encourages you to do to offset some height differences). The s52a has a 9mm difference. 9mm!!! That is incredibly impressive. I need to revisit the s42 to see if I need to update anything, but regardless, this is very useful.

The s52a also has a much shorter neck, which helps a lot with not looking like a giraffe.


The S48's included head sculpt sits very high on her neck, making it look like her neck is considerably long, hence the two measurements on both the tallest and shortest heights.


And for the sake of kinda interesting body measurements in real life, lets scale up some of this to 1:1 for fun! *rounded up for ease*

- The M34 has a 50" chest and nearly 18.5" biceps (not even flexed). All on a 6'1" frame. #heworksout

- The s16a has a 33" bust/26" underbust compared to the s38a's 38" bust/28" underbust. The former also stands at roughly 5'7" at her tallest while the later is just under 5' at her shortest. #proportions

- The female bodies range from 78mm to 94mm in thigh circumference, or 18.5" to 22". The smallest girl (s10d) has thighs as big around as the M34's bicep on his relaxed arm! #somebodyskippedlegday.

- By extension, the thigh circumference of the M34 (104mm) is nearly on par with the waist of the S38a (107mm) (24" and 25" respectively). #doesthisqulifyfor'thickthighssavelives'?

- The female bodies in this lineup range from B cups to GG depending on your preferred method of sizing. You can do the math, but if cup size = difference between bust and underbust, and there are at least two major ways of calculating the band size (+4 method, +0 method, who the heck knows what in-between), then the numbers are crazy. #whodidthismath? #ladiesIamsosorryyoudealwiththisstupidity

(The hashtags are all meant to be goofy, though I really do feel bad for my lady friends in that the clothing world they live in is really, really stupid, especially when it comes to bust sizes.)  

I hope this is all useful to someone!
