Nice, are they of the steel skele design? I.E. are the 2013 or 2014 runs?

Jenny is freaking awesome to deal with. We had to do some changes on my most recent order since the Fire White Rose is no longer in stock but in the end we got everything worked out. But she was nice and helpful the whole way through, great customer service agent. Was really interested in the other Dolls I have as well when she found out I was a collector. I feel like I am doing business with a friend when dealing with her rather than a faceless company.

The military ones caught my attention but I wasn't focused on them this time. I may after seeing this have to go back and look again.

yup. I'll confirm that now after handling them. they are steel skeleton.

I totally agree with you on Jenny.

/g'day.

paint molded hair - what a rip - just like their halle berry figure.

yeah, don't risk the boots - maybe starch will help to remove,
once jenny gives you the green light.

can't wait to see that shirt attempted on a large breasted ss
as the white fabric looks thinner than most shirts where the
skin color does not show through like that.

damn, what i would not do for a chiffon dress shirt that
fit a large breasted ss... most shirts i've tried are either
too narrow in the shoulder, wide in the waist, and most
have thick white fabric that hides the contrast between
a white bra and tan skin. even black bras are obscured.

Wondery did an expensive "my boyfriend shirt", but they
neglected to taper it or use a sheer quality of white fabric.

instead they just made it with nicer buttons... LOL

The molded hair doesn´t look too bad for me, and the boobs are actually first class, they look real, I like them.

Box says Large breasts. Jenny stated Medium but droopy. which looks that way. quite unique to me since I don't have any Mediums to compare it with.

Thanks GirlsGang.

To me the Honor Guard's looks bigger mainly because it's shaped differently.

SpysLikeUs - thx for the intel. I will post some photos as soon as I'm able to.

Varkeo - Thank you!

Chris - agreed on both counts. Now the Militia hairstyle looks fairly unique so I'll see how she turns out.

Folks!

/g'day.

Honor Guard Militia (Kathy)
Interesting tidbit about this uniform. One piece. up/over. zipper on the side.
Also. imo. the face is slightly more older in person than the box image. overall, the face looks fine.

*white undies separate from uniform.

ahh, the foot mystery is solved, thanks

makes you wonder if Phicen may back track and go back to using pegged feet on everything in 2015 since
they got a lot of criticism for the seamless ankle:foot they did on bikini wearing 2014 figures like my S09.

personally, I don't plan on buying another seamless till they have more slender muscle definition
like on a top crossfit model. I would like to buy another Head for a new expression and hair style.
my S09 has long brunette hair, so I'm seeking a loose head with short hair of another color,
which is why i was disappointed all these new honor guards have plaster hair.

interesting that you mention muscular. There is a comic book themed model coming out that is described as "physique" body type. But, no detailed photos of how it will look since she's wearing a costume. I will make a thread and post photos later.

/g'day.

thanks for the heads up.
the latest models i can find
not yet on phicen's terrible website are;

PL2014-77 Z-Girl - a blue skin undead assassin
PL2014-75 Tomoe - a "Shi" samurai warrior dancer
PL2014-74 Stormy Tempest - a comicbook spacegirl
PL2014-71-C - a "Shi" samurai warrior armored soldier
PL2014-59 Caroline Munro - a UK sci-fi actress

of those, spacegirl is the only one with a muscle toned body,
but we won't know for sure till some collector shows it naked;
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z ... aobao_shop
preorder deposit ¥100.00/$16usd, final cost ¥900.00/$145usd
it's described as a SS-seamless, but nothing y/n about a foot peg.
note the head has earrings, photos make it appear suntan like S09.
June 11th is China release date, with wider availability during Q3;

ouch - that rocket belt must hurt her thighs

Sotaichou pm'd me with this information;
Retail price: US $149.99
Deadline for pre-order：7th, June
Delivery date：15th, July
ca:us ekiahobbies has it for Sept 30th

I got a reply from Jenny at Phicen CS about the following;

1. are the feet pegged y/n
See the screenshots below pls:

2, is the skin "suntan" color, similar to PLLB2014-S09
Tempest's skin tone is suntan, so is S09's. But I'm not sure for now
whether the colors are identical in fact. I will check first. *

3. are the 2 earrings removeable
YES.

4. is the blue cape removeable, or sewn into the leotard
The cape is sewn to the leotard.

5. is the leotard removeable (I see no opening on the back)
YES, there is zipper on the back.

if you have any naked photos of the body front and back,
Sorry, I have no such photos right now. I think I can send you some early next week.

of course, I will post whatever Jenny eventually sends on this issue.

* Jenny once explained to me the reason Phicen omits skin color from many of it's product
descriptions is because they can't be sure to get the same colors between production runs,
so a "suntan" of one model may not match the "suntan" of a new model made a year later.
personally, I think that's total bullshit, but if you work in CS, you make excuses for a living.
I mean, anyone can go to a paint store with a chip from your wall, and they'll make as many
buckets of the exact same color that you want, so what's the big deal here...
