Do These Jeans Make My Butt Look Big?

Are my guys feeling as if they overindulged on Thanksgiving?  Do they need to be reassured that everything is as it should be?  Are they just fishing for compliments?

Who do you think has the best pair of jeans, and who do you think wears them the best?

Here they are from the front.

From left to right, they are Heroik Muscle Body, bs0039 with Headplay Michael Jordan head, TTL with Vin head, Rocawear Darren, Triad Omega, Shave 'n Style Ken, Ken, Power Team guy, Blue Box with Tariq head, and Barbie Basics Model #17.

Becoming Rather Handy

Today I made some modifications to Denzel and Tariq so that their hands would fit better

Denzel is on a Toyfare Final Fantasy Ryan Whittaker body and he's using Hot Toys hands.  The wrist pegs for the hands are too loose for this body.  I didn't want to make any permanent modifications, so I did some brainstorming.  I ended up taking some of the clear plastic bands that secure dolls to the inside of their boxes, and I wrapped them around the wrist pegs.  Now the hands fit, and I can remove the hands and use them for another figure in the future if I need to.

Tariq is on a Blue Box body, and I don't even know what kind of hands he's using.  GI Joe perhaps?  All I know is that the wrist pins were too long and too wide for this body.  I didn't mind making permanent modifications to this one, because I think that these hands are going to stay with this body for good.  I used an exacto knife to carve away part of the wrist pin, and I cut the ends off with a kitchen knife.  It's not pretty, but it works.

Now these guys are ready for action!

bs0039 Action Figure Body

I ordered a bs0039 action figure body and I like it a lot.

The body comes with 2 types of neck connectors, thicker thighs, and the hands come with extra wrist pins! I haven't tried snapping on the bigger thighs.  I guess I'll save that for a rainy day.

My Headplay Michael Jordan has found a new home on this new body, and he's looking good.  And with the extra neck connector, I was able to finally give Tariq from Integrity Toys the articulated body he's always dreamed of having.

Here's a quick height comparison.

From left to right, here's a Blue Box body, TTL, bs0039, Triad Omega, and DiD.  The bs0039 is taller than all of the others except for Triad Omega.  The body is slightly shorter, but broader than the Triad Omega.

MJ can finally hold his head up high.

Edit:  These dolls are made to be comparable to Hot Toys bodies, so I'm adding a couple of comparison photos with my Hot Toys TrueType figures.

The articulation is very similar.  The quality of the bs0039 body is not as high as Hot Toys, but I think that it is a good inexpensive alternative.
