Have you considered 3D printing these bad boys? Printers are
getting pretty amazing lately. Then again, it might be hard to
match these factory products.
And you could be like Wallowitz and spend a $1000 to home print
out figurines of themselves.
Ok, maybe not such a great idea.

I don't think it would come anywhere close to what the figures
are and the biggest thing about it are the hinges and ball
joints that allow for all the different poses you can get which
I don't see a 3D printer being able to duplicate on par with.

Ah, like I said, the tech is advancing faster than people think.
At work, I print jointed parts.
Here's an an example of very tight tolerances...

The other real science is the right material.
But ya, certain things just make sense to buy factory made.

This review just dropped this morning. Looks to be the first one
anywhere. The figure looks way better than I thought it would. I
checked the site that I have a pre-order with and it's still
labeled as such. I talked to customer service and she says they
have not arrived to their location yet. So, still waiting......

Another video, this one actually showing both Male and Female. I
like that the Female version is smaller than the Male. It would
be easy for the company to just make both the same size which
would look odd.

Looks like Figma is releasing Series 2 of the Archetype line. I
really dig that the facial features are more pronounced and the
muscles have more definition. It's more anatomically correct.
Hell, they even have toes! With that said, I think the joints
look awful. There is no need for that much separation. Hopefully
these are just prototypes and that they will fix this issue. I
can't imagine anyone being happy with that, inside and outside
of the company. If they correct this problem, I'd be inclined to
check these out when they drop in November. For the time being,
I'm sticking with S.H. Figuarts DX Set that I'm still waiting to
be shipped out to me.

Okay, now this was fun to watch. I will say this is the best way
to do an Unboxing / "Review" of a product. A+ for creativity on
the part of the reviewer.
;D
