T03A & T03B at home
Today, while my minis were so absorbed by the opening of a bottle of Beaujolais, that they did not even notice that the postman had brought a new package.
But as soon as they saw it, they dropped their attempt with the bottle and rushed on to open it.
And in the package, there were two big boxes: a TBLeague
T03A and a
T03B
Indeed, these two 1/12 body models, were announced some time ago.
The announce said:
Code: Select all
TBLeague T03A 1/12th Scale Super-Flexible Female Seamless Body
(Pale Skintone)
1/12 scale size! palm size action figure
it comes with a 1/12 body and outfits
Compared to their sisters T01A and T02B, they have less Muscular definition and show more tenderness and femininity.
Life like models in bodily structure and proportion, great choices for painting and photography as well!
The internal armature is improved and you will get a better play experience.
Packing List:
(1) 1 pc × TBLeague 1/12 scale female seamless body with metal skeleton
(2) 1 pc × Unpainted head sculpt
(3) 3 pairs × interchangeable hands
(4) 2 pairs × interchangeable feet
(5) 1 set × bikini
(6) 1 pair × wristbands
(7) 1 pair × ankle supports
(8) 1 × base & stand
Here is what's in the box
A support is delivered, as well as plastic clothes and an unpainted head.
The head is split in two, comparing the
T03 body to a
T01 or
T02.
Details of the head.
☞ What is surprising first is that
the head is unpainted.
Although it is said in the description, the photos of TBLeague are misleading (not to say that it is a lie), because all but one, have painted heads.
I did not even notice that, only after doing my pre-order, but I did not cancel because I wanted to see the differences from the T01A/T02B.
☞ The bodies are indeed different, less muscular. They are more "feminine", but I personally prefer the T01A/T02B. Unlike these, their private parts are not tinted, but exist.
With the unpainted head, I feel a little unfinished product.
☞ The plastic clothes are very "toy", cheap, but certainly not worthy of a collectible figurine.
☞ The support is good, simple, but I do not see too much interest. The figure is very good on his feet without the need for support.
My feeling with this model T03 is quite mixed
.
It feels like an unfinished product, not really usable. Looks like everything has been done to reduce costs. The fact that the head is not painted is very strange, because few people are able to paint a head, especially as small at 1/12. Personally I can not do it, I have neither the experience nor the skill to do it.
In fact, everything suggests that the head and clothes are good to throw, and that it is planned to replace them.
For the moment, I have not yet seen 1/12 heads inidividual, nor kits of heads + clothes, but the day this will come out, T03 bodies could become interesting. But for now, they have little interest, the unpainted head should certainly remove a lot of buyers.
I may be wrong, but I think a production of individual heads or kits, is certainly expected soon.
There is a glaring contrast between the box of good quality (much larger than the T01 / T02, made of smoked plastic), the support that is more "pro", and the head / clothes that really "cheap".
VeryCool has already planned the VCF-3001 and VCF-3002 (1/12), it is perhaps not a coincidence.
It's funny to see that T03's TBLeague promotional photos use
COCA-COLA cans, while for the VCF-3002 promo, VeryCool uses ... a can of
PEPSI:
No such war with my minis
, they prefer
Beaujolais!
