Let us know what you think. I'm still undecided which to go with.

 

[DarthBakura]

Thanks. I really need to know the skin color though.

How are you going to find the body you need for the Hot Heart version ? It's never easy with this skin color problem.

I have both a spare pale and suntan body. So, it will be whichever is the closest match. My guess is the suntan.

Quick pics. Will post more later.

Overall I rate the figure 8/10, maybe 7. Besides the outfit being great and the boots won’t peal off like the faux leather that came with the Viking set(or Sheva boots) the headsculpt is okay... body is meh and the harness is decent. if you guys plan of swapping bodies make sure is has a small waist. The harness can’t be adjusted. I’ll probably end up using a joint body. Which I do have a spare.

As for Claire I don’t think think she needs a seamless body since she’s pretty much covered up. The current body the joints are stiff. Great figure over! Can’t wait for their Jill set.

Not bad at all. But yeah the body seems "meh". I think the skin color is more on the "pale" side, am I right ? The others seem more "tanned" than this one.
I'm interested to know what body you'll use.

I’ll do a body swap later tonight. I have a spare Jill valentine body from
Hot toys and Angelica body. I’ll check out one of the Amber bodies as well. I think the newer hot toys bodies are too tanned...

Hum...ok. So maybe I should buy a Phicen pale body or a Poptoys pale joint body (but the elbows articulations are ugly on the Poptoys joint body...and I don't have any old Hot toys body)

Aaah...the joy of customizing !

I wouldn’t go too pale. I don’t have any pale or phicen bodies besides the HT Harley and Maleficent.

Yeah the thing is, according to this review, the S17B "suntan" Phicen body is still quite pale :

I might try that. Even though I'm still not sure if I like seamless bodies^^ It looks great but...I don't know about their durability.

 

[Gabbo]

It looks to me that the best match would be a suntan phicen. I have ordered the kit, but it might be a week before it arrives. I have a few phicens to check it against once it arrives.

 

[Project_A]

I did some body matching and the closest was HT IM2 Black Widow body.

Looks great but why are the shoulders on that Phicen look stiff? You can relax them by pulling the shoulder down, unlike the plastic skeleton bodies.

oh man yeah what Phicen body did you use for Nemesis Jill? The proportions look fantastic.

What Phicen body did you use ? The skin color matches the head. Is it a pale body ? A suntan ?
Thanks

Specifically it's the PLMB2016-S17B (suntan). I thought the skirt was too short but when I went online Jill's skirt looks really short too, hands past the bottom of the skirt so in that sense the proportions still matched. And I have since fixed the shoulders. My friend made the same comment lol. I was just happy to get the outfit on the phicen. I spent like 2 hours setting both up.

Also, the pale phicen body won't match it. Suntan is pretty good. Better in person that in the pics.

Ok, cool. Thanks. I think I'll buy this body model. Wow...2 hours to get the outfit on the phicen...I didn't think about that, is it hard to remove the outfit ?

Once you put a complex or form-fitting outfit on a Phicen body, don’t expect to be swapping it out anytime soon.

Granted, it can still be done, but some costumes are easily damaged simply trying to put them on initially. I would hate to imagine the hassle of taking them off. There may be some trick to it floating around out there... but I sure as hell haven’t found it. The best tip I got was using Saran Wrap for stockings and boots and such. And even that can have limited use, depending on the material.

There’s also the staining and general filth left behind by most outfits made today. So yeah, it’s not pleasant.

Filth ? Huh...can the outfit be washed ? Or do the colors vanish ?
I'm not expecting to swap the outfit out of the Phicen body. I'm just wondering if it's hard to put it on in the first place^^

For this RE3 Jill, I suppose the boots are easily removable because the feet come off too, right ? I'm not worried about the skirt either. But the blue top...yeah I sea a little problem with a body without removable limbs.

 

[DarthBakura]

Honestly, I’m expecting to use the Saran Wrap trick for the Hot Heart boots. Just going to resign myself of any hope otherwise.

And what I mean by filth is all of the clothing fibers and debris that clings to these bodies. There is a ton of residual garbage left behind from some of these 1/6 outfits, when slapped onto a Phicen.

I don't know what's that Saran Wrap trick. Is it to make the clothing slip easily onto the body ?

How is the clarie sculpt project?

 

[Biojex]

Looking good, Project. Mine is out for delivery today.

Not difficult to remove, difficult to put on. I did spend a lot of time trying to remove the pegs from the boots. The skirt and top were pretty easy to out on. The socks were difficult to get on high enough as were the boots.

And that was 2 hours with both figures. On the other one the straps came coming loose so I just super glued them and that took care of having to deal with the holster straps.
