Cool Triad outfit.
The movie was just... Ehhhhhhh "Duck & Cover"'?
But the outfit is cool (^-^)!

I like the Toby figure, I take it that it's a customizer's website? what is the URL for it? Does it have other figures in 1/6th scale to look at?

God that movie smelled worse than a log cabin made of dog turds.

Neat figure though.

It's a pullover. It may help if you remove the head prior to trying to put it on the figure. The top should stretch just enough to fit. My PB has the large breast plate and the top fits over it.

Nope, the zipper has a stop...

hey anyone w/ Nat. does that inner tank top shirt unzip all the way until it comes undone? i'm yanking on mine but beginning to think the zipper just stops at bottom. seems like it'll stretch out of shape if it's a pullover

I think the problem with the collar is because of the zipper and perhaps the thickness of the material. It could possibly be fixed by ironing the corners down. The Triad top does the same thing.

Which OJI head you are using?
I find this on Toby site, hopefully ZC girls is going to produce this one.

Thanks Mookeyama. I think the thing I like most about the Toby figure are the little details such as the "Gravity Leveler" and her "Flat-Space" bracelets, as well as the textures of the fabrics.

James she looks great! as already stated the hair makes a world of difference and the higher boots look great. i was gonna try those but maybe w/ a lower heel if possible. just hope Triad will re-release some Harely 3.0 outfits!

REALLY hope that Toby Violet gets made. that's the outfit i've wanted the most, from the opening fight scenes, and the boots look to be very accurate on the Toby . kneehigh w/ pads. only tiny nitpick is i think the gloves for that outfit should...

Tad- Thanks, I like this hs and the Porche one as well. It would be great if OJI offered these separately on their website(hint,hint).
oobbuh- If you look at a picture of Milla, you'll notice her teeth do kinda look like the figure's teeth. Other than that though, it really does look like her imho.

Tonzez- Thanks, I think this hs(even though not exact) still works pretty good.

Violet rocks in that Triad outfit. Like Rich, I think that newer FemBasix sculpt is one of the all time best.

Still prefer Triad ver. The teeth looks weird for Toby....

DYNA- Thanks for the link, sadly it's in Chinese. The guy definitely has talent.
CthJ,16k,forrester- Thank You for the nice compliments. The more I look at that Toby figure, the more I want it. Hopefully it will get produced. Though, if it ends up on ebay, it will end up being waaay out of my price range. But, for something that nice I would have no problem paying as much as $150 for it(maybe a little more). If Triad's version had a hs like that one, I would absolutely have...

Always nice to more pics of your little plastic family James!However I second comments about making that head more widely available-deliberate creation of rarity in toys irritates me-saw enough of that going on when the children used to collect beaniebabies.

She's very beautiful James!!
When you come to think about it, it's really a shame Triad didn't use real hair. On both sets of pics, it really makes the difference with their kit! I know rooting hair on a hard resin head is damn near impossible, but it could have been achieved with a separate, the glued onto-vynil hairpiece...

Looking good, I really like that Lexus head too. By the way were is the Cyborg Jolie? It hasn't come out yet, has it?

Toby site.
Is one of his show piece for 4/4 Taiwan Toy & figure exhibition 2008.
I hope this one will make it like his Cyborg Jolie!

RichardtheBloody- Thanks, I like the way she turned out.

Dyna- The hs is from OJI's "Lexus" figure. So far, the only place to find them seems to be ebay. I haven't seen one parted out yet but, I don't think that they have sold very many of them. I lost track of them but, I believe they've sold less than 40 of them and their other new figure "Porsche".
Do you have a link to this Toby site? Is the figure in those pics one of his/her customs,...

I finally got all the stuff for my Violet. The outfit and sword(which is awesome!) are from Triad of course, the gloves are from a set of gloves for the Princess Jun figure, don't know who the glasses came from. I think the Lexus hs works pretty good for this application. If the figures weren't so hard to get, I'd like to get a few more. It would be even nicer if OJI would start selling these heads separately.
