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. Now I just have to finish making her gun/swords.

Personally i think it's one of the best looking heads out there (especially after seeing the pics people have posted of the Takara Deunan...the prototype looked WAY better IMO ) She looks awesome man! The likeness isn't 100% exact, but with the shades, i doubt many people would notice. (I for one wouldn't care! ) "THIS, I COMMAND!!!" "I find your lack of pants disturbing"

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, or pre-release photos from ZC? I hate to say it but, if ZC manages to come out with a figure that looks that good(the face is amazing), it might just be better than Triad's version.

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...

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 bought a set or two instead of just getting the outfit and the sword. I took some more pics, this time using Triad's GoGo boots. The boots and outfit on the Toby version are very accurate to what Milla wore in the movie. The GoGo boots come up to her knees but still need knee pads, which I might have to see if I can come up with something similar to add to the boots. Great yet another project to try and work on.

Like Rich, I think that newer FemBasix sculpt is one of the all time best. Whoever named in necking was a poor judge of anatomy.

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. These are some other projects I'm working on (seems like I keep adding more and more projects to the list of things to do). When these are complete, hopefully I'll be able to make the slides moveable even though the ones in the movie don't move. A little trivia: Did anyone else notice that with exception of the electric cannons on the two helicopters, none of the other firearms eject their cases? There is one scene showing a closeup of one of Violet's "square" guns that show the blowback operation of the gun's slide but, there are no ejected cases coming out of it. One explanation could be that the spent ammo goes back to "flat space" after being fired. Although, I think the real reason is that it saved them the effort and expense of using functional weapons firing blanks, not to mention increasing the safety levelof the various fight scenes.

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 come to the elbow, and her teeth look just a tad buckish (i know they looked it in the movie in certain shots but think that was more camera angle and fake vamp teeth).. everything else is ACES! love the mechanism on the belt. so any backstory on Toby? i've seen that Cyborg Jolie listed on Yahoo Japan before (same pics) awhile back. it looks a lot like Ban Ban Kazoo's pieces and the Supergirl looks almost exactly like a Gamisan piece from like a year ago. BUT the pages that show Toby vacuforming armor are dated 2006 so not sure who came up w/ the techniques first. Last Edited By: Mookeylama 04/06/08 21:38:11. Edited 3 times.

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.

It could possibly be fixed by ironing the corners down. The Triad top does the same thing.

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.
