I've also been looking for a proper replacement body for Sarah. I bought her used last year and the skin is splotchy, like they tried to clean it or something. It's not horrible and I didn't like the HT body anyway, and I love Phicen bodies and would love to switch it out at some point. I was gonna take a chance on a medium bust suntan body, but I suppose I'll keep waiting as well since even medium bust is way too large.
There are no small-breasted women according to 1:6 toy companies.

Edation Hot Stuff has a small bust figure known as their slim body. It's pretty expensive, but I decided to buy one anyway. I'll probably have it on Monday. I'll give some impressions when I get it.

What's the best method of filling out/ fattening the neck on this figure?
I used a bit of Gorilla tape around the neck post but in the end I just swapped out the neck and chest piece for one from the Kaustic Plastik muscle body.
I just stuffed the neck with cotton wool.
I think I used folded paper that someone suggested. Even a little width made all the difference.
That's what she said.

Got the Edation Hot Stuff figure today. Skin feels rubbery. Still uses a plastic ratcheting skeleton, how barbaric! Doesn't suffer from the mold seams of previous versions. Would not use for Sarah, unless you put her in one pose and then never touched it again.
Hey all, longtime lurker, first time poster. But I need a little freaks help here. I bought this figure off eBay, new and sealed, no shipper however. This is from China. I have a friend who has it and needed one of my own, the shelf presence is insane. The one I received however has a tear in the front of the left arm, his doesn't. It's not super noticeable, as the jacket is folded up a lot there but if you look it's obvious. But given that it's battle damaged anyway..
The other question is, mine has a lot more... How do I say this.. Greyed out areas on the jacket. Like his looks black through and through where as mine has grey on many areas especially along the seams. Is this weathering on the jacket that varies from figure to figure or some kind of fading? I'm not usually a fussy person, and don't like getting into returns and all, so my next question is given the material of the jacket, would a leather care solution, like the one I use on my car seats restore the lustre, and more importantly is it safe? And again, if it's just purposely done weathering I'll let it be, it's just the variation between ours is quite large and his is the only I've seen. I've gone back through this thread to look at pics but most aren't high resolution enough to see it. I do feel I can see the grey fading/ weathering in some pics however.
Please do let me know, if some pics would help I can get to those later too.
Thanks in advance! And thanks for this awesome community in general. I've sunk far too much money into this thanks to y'all!

i messed with those jackets a lot, and from what i know - they are originally glossy, but the more you rub them with your fingers (by putting them on and taking off), the more said gloss disappears, leaving something that can be described as "grey" with that uncertainty in your post.
looks like your jacket is heavily second-hand, and a tear proves that.
also as it is not a leather but just some fabric with paint, and a very fragile one (unlike the now ancient MMS01 or less ancient MMS117 that could survive... many things i did with them), i'd not touch it with any chemical products.

Hey P.
Thanks for the help, it's appreciated, and the in depth info helped me state my case against the seller. It's been resolved now. I'm keeping the fig with a MASSIVE discount that is more than fair and just stitched up the hole and folded it in such a way where it's not so noticeable and looks like a natural fold in the jacket. I can live with that.
Thanks for the tip as well, I won't spray anything on it or hit it with any other product. I can see after actually using it now (I didn't touch it while the case was in dispute) that the quality isn't as good as the dx13s and I'll be more careful with it. I know from lurking that you do know your stuff when it comes to the classic figs so the input was really appreciated.
Cheers!

I've got my spare MMS238 in the FS section, if anyone is interested.

I have no idea why my picture is sideways
looks ok to me.
I got some new displays, so Terminator gets its own shelf!
