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.

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.

Sometimes Wishes Do Come True

Tonight my Michael Jordan figure is a little bit taller.  But his head does not match his body.  :(  Here he is on a bs0039 body.  I agree with my husband, who said "Well... it's better, but it's not quite there."  MJ needs an even taller body, and one that more closely matches his head.  Maybe tomorrow I will play more Musical Heads with my action figures.  Maybe I'll just throw a turtleneck and some jeans on MJ and call it a day.

Headplay Michael Jordan

I purchased a Headplay Michael Jordan head.

It is beautifully painted with a striking resemblance to Michael Jordan.  Maybe I should only post close-up photos.  No, I'll show you everything, even if it ain't pretty.

Here he is on the Blue Box body that I had ready for him.

This body is too skinny and too short for MJ.  He will have to have a new body, which is unfortunate because this body closely matches his skin tone.

The head came with a light colored neck connector.  Why oh why did they send a neck connector that does not match the head?  I can only wonder.  I tried to put the neck connector on the body, but could not, even after heating it with a hair dryer.  I asked my husband to put it on, and he was close, but the neck connector split.  I used a Hot Toys neck connector that is closer to MJ's skin tone, but is too dark.

My MJ is also currently having some issues with his hands.  The hands that he's pictures with have pins that are too thick to fit into the arm sockets.  I will have to make some permanent modifications in order to get them to fit (I'll save that for another day).

Here is a photo of MJ holding the neck connector that arrived with him.

 Denzel had to give up his hands to MJ.  Now I will also need to modify Denzel's Hot Toys wrist pegs in order to get his hands to fit on his body.

I wanted to put MJ on a taller body with broader shoulders.  I considered my Hot Toys and my Triad Omega bodies.  Neither is a close skin tone match.  Plus, I am very hesitant to make any modifications to my Triad Omega because he is not sturdy and I do not want him to fall apart in my hands.

Here is my MJ figure compared to a TTL body.  The TTL body is slightly taller and broader that the Blue Box body.

Maybe I'll buy MJ another body one of these days.  But for now, he'll have to wear bulky clothing to minimize his shortcomings.
