Figma Archetype Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iufrYoaNurk
So, about a week or so ago, one of the artist I follow on YouTube released a Product review for Figma Archetype (it's the small figure in the above video) and I immediately was interested in this because of the insane amount of poseable positions you can get them in. Now I don't know if Figma (which I never heard of until this video) released these Toys with Artists in mind or they just wanted to offer something different that doesn't exist from other toy manufacturers. Regardless if they did or didn't, this is something I'm looking into getting as I'm sick of drawing from photos as well as drawing from real life because everything is just too pedestrian. Now this video was the jumping on point where I started to research their entire line as well as their direct competitor Mafex. Of the two companies, Figma is regarded by most collectors as the superior product with higher quality figures, but I can't discount what Mafex has that Figma doesn't have. I was originally going to buy the figure as seen in the video, but now I want character specific models to draw from. It's just a question of who and what I want to draw, one that I will draw a lot of like Batman, Hulk, Ironman, Spidey, etc.... Maefx has a Wonder Woman and Armour Batman Figure coming out soon, based on BVS movie and they look amazing. Also cool about Figma's line are the Manga inspired characters, which I'm also eyeing as well.

Figma MOTOKO KUSANAGI Ghost in the Shell Figure Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIPESzXRmNk&list=WL&index=10
I have my eye on getting the Ghost In The Shell figure, which looks great. I love how each character comes with a lot of different assortments of guns, wigs, multiple hands and faces that you can just pop off and replace and create so many variations which is something I want as an artist.

S.H. Figuarts DX Body Set
Well, my research took me further than I thought it would go and I discovered S.H. Figuarts DX Body Set and came across this Male and Female Figure Set that destroys Figma in a BIG WAY. This version looks damn good. Way better Sculpts on both figures and look at all the hand options it comes with as well as the accessories. Yeah, this will be my first purchase. I was set to get Figma's Archetype, but after seeing Figuarts DX Body Set, they are getting my money. It retails for $60 bucks each and is set for a mid-April 2016 release. I can't wait.
