Triad Toys nude bodies

[Shai]

I so wanna do that chick!

Melvin's teenage hormones are at it again...

 

[EVILFACE]

Are the elbows double jointed?

The only ones I might pick up is a female. As nice as they look, I don't have any desire for a shirtless guy on my shelf, unless it was a big muscular body for Conan.

I saw a preview of the male body a few months ago, and this far exceeds my original expectations of their line of figures.
They all look great! I'm especial interested in a good female body that's cheaper then the Cy Girls, this seems to fit that criteria. I'm now glad I stocked up on Triad costumes.
Darth Callous has out done himself on these figures.

Those are Fantastic...Sideshow better pay attention to these...We need bodies like that on Sideshow figures....

We've been saying that for a while now, and I don't think Sideshow really cares how well their basic bodies are received.

He can certainly sign me up for the Aeon Flux Charlise Theron and Ultraviolet Milla figures - I just hope they are sold as figures and not just costume sets - unless Louie points us to where he got the head sculpts as well

As for price - his first figure is listed at $US60. The costume sets normally go for about $US40 so it seems reasonable the nudes would sell for about $US20 - which is exceptional value particularly when you compare the female nudes to what is out there. I bet those figures will drive the demand for some of Louie's custom female attire - now you don't have huge gaps in the crotch area from leg articulation!

Actually I doubt they'll even sell them as costume sets. I think they're just showing examples of what could be done with their basic bodies as to produce these would mean they would need the licenses.

I was afraid of that.

Looking at the necks, it doesnt look like many of the current headsculpts out now will work on the body. Bummer they couldn't have made them similar to Dragons, SS ect.

By the way, here's their website:

The bodies look fantastic and the likenesses are pretty cool too. The Samuel L Jackson looks way better than the Sideshow one IMO. I think these will sell well no matter what the final price is.

the point of these bodies is to have as few visible joints as possible. having the visible neck joints like almost every other body would ruin the effect.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea I understand that, it's just the neck is limiting the number of current heads you can choose from.

 

[Dr_Zaius]

I don't know if that is Portman or not. I would have to see both of them nude side by side to tell

Actually I believe they said they are holding off some of the jedi figures till they get a new female body... hopefully they have the non-exposed sections - they'll need it for figures like Aayla Secura, Arena Padme and Slave Leia.

Hmm - I disagree. I've seen Louie do the Elektra costume from Daredevil (admittedly split over two different costume sets) and I would consider the fact that Aeon Flux is misspelt (Eon) and that the Ultraviolet Costume is labelled Harley Girl 3.0 (Harley Girl 1.0 & 2.0 are available through Ebay) strong evidence that they will be available - alas without the headsculpt.

 

[Collector Freak]

Damn! I love that Portman likeness! I want two!

louie has said on MWD that when he gets things going with his boxed figures, he's gonna stop selling outfit sets.

I've been collecting 1/6th figures for a little while now and these are the most amazing base bodies I've ever seen. They make every other body style by every other manufacturer including the very expensive products from Volks and other boutique manufacturers obsolete. Just amazing. The articulation is more than adequate and the sculpture is as seamless and natural as I can imagine possible. Just beautiful work.

That sucks. I'd want these for my SSC Star Wars. Too bad SSC didn't use this type for their necks, would have made them more poseable. Maybe Triad could make a version for those types with necks?

i really don't see the point in using these for figures who are fully covered with clothing, like anakin or luke. as much as i love these triad bodies, i'm totally happy with the standard sideshow body if it's covered.:chew

 

[JustinLuck]

Captain Sack, I see a very valid reason for using these bodies with clothed SW figures. Jedi Luke, for instance, has very emaciated thighs and huge gaps near his hip joints. His black suit looks very unnatural in this area. The Triad figures don't appear to have this hip and thigh problem.

If I could have it my way, Sideshow would upgrade their own body line to match this quality.

Luke could definitely benifit the most from one of these bodys...I agree about the points you made...I had to pad his lower body with tp and fill in the gaps in his hips joints too.He looks much better now.

 

[Customikey]

I don;t know what I'd use them for, but I'd definitely get one of each. THe craftsmanship is too good to ignore.

just get a $5 dragon body for that. or just get some of those bbi spandex shorts that come with the bodybuilder figure. i used those and it fixed the hip joint problem.

if sideshow wants to upgrade their body, i'm cool with that, but i'm not gonna spend the rumored $35 per body, plus mutilate the sideshow head to fit it on one of these triad bodies.:chew
