davidd's A Doll A Day 2019

A change of pace today from the cavalcade of Pinky Street figures:

6 March – TBLeague (Phicen) 1:12 Scale Figure (Head Detail)

I've been curious about the "seamless" (no external joints) figures by Phicen for a while, but the relatively high price for a 1:6 scale figure put me off.
Actually, what really put me off (yes, really) was that the "highly detailed" seamless figures kinda seem more like "fetish accessories" than dolls or action figures.
But I've seen a number of action figure (GI Joe and Action Man) photographers making good use... non-prurient use, that is... of seamless figures in adventure dioramas.
When TBLeague (new name for Phicen, apparently) recently released a 1:12 scale seamless figure for a considerably lower price than the 1:6 figures (between $30 and $40 USD), I decided that this might be an opportunity to see what they're like.

So far, the "medium bust" figure in "pale" skin tone is the only figure widely available.

The head is nicely sculpted and features rooted hair.

I have not yet removed the figure from the packaging.
