Sonny Brown thx bb

[@TheSylverLycan]

Thankyou

[@blankpage9277]

Thanks bro

[@ulicespedraza]

Yes

[@zidneya]

Thank you

[@lelouchbritannia57]

Yay! Thanks for the review :) I don't regret opting for the figma archetype next he and she. Better articulation and the detailed aesthetics. I am an artist myself that does digital manga, I don't think those gaps would be a problem if u can imagine and fill them in your head.

[@overlordfigmori7971]

ahhhhh well I am not an artist lol I just assumed body kun would be better for artists because well, his purpose was basically to be a drawing refrence. Also, no problem! I also did a short comparison between the female variants

[@lelouchbritannia57]

Better range of poses (though some turn absurd... u can fix that when you draw) and much more buffed (you can draw a normal and thin body out of that but will be hard from a standard body that has far less aesthetics like body-kun have. I also like that the feet and face are detailed, it helps you draw faces at different angles. and ok will check that too :)

[@mychannelforviewingmemes2797]

Raito Yagami idk I find drawing muscles and face easier than coming up with compositions and poses

[@arickle]

@@lelouchbritannia57 I'm with ya on this. Getting the pose is more important, and filling the gaps on the figure is easy. The gaps would be more problematic if actually displaying the figure, but not as a drawing reference.

[@pinklevi7036]

So I ordered both body kun and archetype. thanks to your review, I won't order body chan. I prefer archetype she. better proportion! ok, kun is better in posing in some poses but the arch also has it own points

[@pinekun]

Although a bare Archtype He has some rather large gaps in his body when posed certain ways, I like him better. And because he is just a base of what they will be using for figmas, gaps are expected, because whole figures will be clothed and I feel that the clothing would potentially mask the gaps more.

[@overlordfigmori7971]

Yes exactly! That's what I wanted to say but couldn't find the words :)

[@alexflo0289]

that flesh tone archetype next he looks like the perfect base for attack on titans customs, im gonna get one

[@HaLfSpeedArt1]

I think I like body-kun more for what he is, only thing I don't like though is his color and that it looks like he's wearing shoes. I love these comparison videos btw :D

[@overlordfigmori7971]

But if he didn't have the shoe design how would he balance himself? ;p Also, no problem :)

[@HaLfSpeedArt1]

+Overlord Figmori Yeah you're right :D I guess I just like aesthetics more than convenience in my figures though :P

[@a.t.a206]

It was looking all good for the figma archetype next: he until the back and the crunching it looks like i would have to go with s h sh figuarts Body-kun

[@AntonnyCardo]

*The disgaea music playing in the background * Oh! I feel so fabulous and royal ( ÷ _ ÷/ ) Smuch!

[@ginonovanta]

where did you find the original? On the web is really hard not to find cheap chinese copies

[@naomigraham628]

I can't decide between the 2 because I also enjoy the archetype more aesthetically as well, but I know the body kun comes with items to hold and work with (like phone, sword, etc). I haven't seen items for the archetype advertised with them, so do they not come with them?

[@vinnylt2408]

christ.. how much money did you spend on all of them?

[@user-io9hj9ip2d]

the archetypes were around $50 when they came out (give or take) and along with the body kun I’m estimating around $500 for everything (give or take) yeah these figures are not for people with shallow wallets, even back when they were readily available and “cheap” the archetypes are around $100+ now and body Kung are $200+ EACH and that’s if you can find them at all 😂

[@AtomekKotalke]

As someone who studies painting and drawing I can see that Archetype one has better proportions. Something about Body-kun and Body-chan is proportionally not right. Propably too big head and too long legs, it fits the manga and anime but Archetype is more realistic in proportions so I think it’s better to study in terms of shapes. Don’t start from manga proportions, start from more realistic approach.

[@sissisfussful]

thank you, i was wondering .

[@GlaciusX2]

I think these might make good bases for custom figures, i usually modify existing figures but i might grab a body-kun and experiment a little

[@overlordfigmori7971]

No kidding? Have you posted any of your work anywhere?

[@GlaciusX2]

Not yet man, im not that good at it yet becouse ive been doing it for less than a year now. But i build/paint/modify a lot of model kits and one day i decided to give figure customizing a try and i have to say it is a lot of fun. But hey im thinking about giving this youtube thing a try in the close future so i might show off some of my creations :] Even at this moment im working on a fully poseable Sentinel in the style of the MVC games (its going to take me a couple of months thou, its mostly a scratch build )

[@JeeL04]

these would really be great for reference when I sculpt.

[@overlordfigmori7971]

the female archetype is also pretty good! I just did a comparison between her and body chan

[@aristsimboukis8987]

does a shf head fit to the figma body kun?

[@giuliachiaracastiglioni3171]

I've got a bizzare question...which one has got the most stable articulations? I explain better...I'd like to give one of this mannequin as a present to a blind friend (he won't use it to draw obvsiously)...so I need a mannequin you can touch (in the way a blind person does to understand the shape of an object) without risking of altering the pose of the figure too much (so if I decide to make the mannequin assume a certain position-for example a footballer doing a bicycle kick goal- this person can 'sense' the position). Could you please make a try, better if with your eyes closed XD ? I'd really appreciate your help!! Maybe none of this two is suitable...

[@akenagax1074]

Oh, Disgaea music. And I also agreed to shorten review like somebody else though this is an old video.

[@sebasj.5763]

Awesome review dude!! I really like the archetype he more!! Hey just gonna ask, are you still gonna do the giveaway?

[@overlordfigmori7971]

I'll be honest, while I did say of a possible giveaway, I never guaranteed one. I feel like I kinda dropped the ball on that one by prematurely announcing a giveaway. Like, maybe I should have waited until I reached a certain milestone, you know? To answer your question, yes I still want to do something of that nature... just not for awhile :(

[@sebasj.5763]

Yea I totally get you. It's better if you do something for a special milestone!! Sorry for bothering and have a good one!!!

[@softcookies2024]

where do i buy em tho?

[@ChildofEden96]

hi im curious do they ship these to the US ? cause id love to buy a archtype next she figure.

[@overlordfigmori7971]

hi sorry for the late reply, but yes, most online distributors that sell these do ship to the us. Currently on available on amiami :)

[@ChildofEden96]

thank you for the reply :D was a bit nervous buying from amiami.

[@Empawk]

You can buy these from Big Bad Toy Store in the USA.

[@MintyMiku]

I ordered two figma archetype ( she and he flesh color ) they sent me 1 flesh ( she ) and 1 grey ( he ) I wanted to buy another two lol. ( seller poisoned me into buying more ) :P

[@Rock_Draw]

This figures are good, but there`s two negative points: 1- They are too expensive to be basic figures (yes, they are totally posable, but they are still basic, without details or painting) 2- I find them too small for my taste. They are only useful if I take pictures of them. Luckily I first found bootlegs and that saved me a lot of money.

[@anotherhuman266]

Umm, we can SEE what it looks like OURSELVES. We want to know WHICH ONE MOVES THE MOST and is most natural.

[@tonystark5778]

it would be cool if these were seamless

What chun li is that in the background?

[@overlordfigmori7971]

late reply, but the chun li is a revoltech figure, she's really small though

[@icrotai8813]

[@MrJoeblofromidaho]

Body Kun is quality. The other one is cheap.

[@mrlionguerero]

Pleease...! Get to the POINT of your review quicker! at least 6 minutes before you get on with your comparison video. I'm just sayin'.... I like your comparison though...😊

[@overlordfigmori7971]

I know I know. I'm well aware that I ramble too much. I'm trying my best to shorten these reviews. I appreciate the feedback though :)

[@mychannelforviewingmemes2797]

mrlionguerero it's a video just click

[@Nasiputut]

Hello from the future, thank God this guy commented bout this guys rambling, if not i would have to painstakingly find out where the video actually is about. Even if its a video those feedback is valuable to the content creator for them to improve their content delivery, not just keep making same mistake or ur channel wont grow. In this day of fast edge , everyone prefer video that get on the point, espcially ones that they searched up themselves, unless ur watching memes or documentaries, ofcourse it natural to let the video just play out. But in this case THIS IS AN INFORMATIVE typr of video. So better be on POINT since viewers value more on the INFORMATION THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.

[@Keilink]

Hmm the back articualtion on Archetype Next looks really weird, on both male and female actually, that's not how spines work, ahah. I'm about to buy some of those for art purpose, I guess I'll take Body-kun for the male figure and Next:She for the female one, thanks to your reviews. This said I wonder if items sold with the DX body-chan/kun series works with the Next series. Also the both of them bashing Naruto on the slide show was hilarious xD

[@digitalclown2008]

Body Kun is very pleasing to look at. As an artist, I want a general, more appealing thing to look at. I can adjust the positioning in my drawing if need be. To be fair, I don't think it actually matters. The articulation differences are very small, and so the end product in your drawing will look more or less the same (with some experianced under your belt that is) I suppose it's just preference.

[@anonymousone2837]

13:32 I'm sorry but this shot was funny to me cause I made a caption in my head while looking at this 😂😂

[@immrpandabear]

Looks like Saitama?

[@BlackRabbitDigitalP]

As mentioned on your other video, as an artist, Figma is actually a better tool than Body-kun simply because you can achieve better poses and you have more references on the mannequin and last the proportions are much more realistic. It is more useful to have more pose choices and a few holes which you can easily fill if you know about basic anatomy than if you have a much more limited posing capability with no gaps.

[@overlordfigmori7971]

ohhhhhhh- Well heck, what do I know ;p Thanks for the insight!

[@Mad_Delgore]

i think same. the only part of the dolls that would need to be upgraded is waist. this realy needs to be articulated :/

[@Nstone53]

Do you find Archetype She's neck as annoying as I do? Her head is always popping off on mine and I think it's because of how its constructed at that weird angle.

[@deathdayasmr]

villain vs mc

[@Made_In_Heaven88]

Wouldn't you just need one figure wherever it's the male or female and sketch over beyond what you're seeing? so what I mean is you pose a female figure and sketch over it but if you want a male figure sketch you can just refine the lines of the sketch you don't really need both

[@jamesgordon2060]

Nah, to be fair both body types are pretty different, no matter what way you look at it. I guess it depends on how good an artist you are, without it.

[@nightmarefanatic1819]

You can, it's just easier to have both bodies.

[@Sanakudou]

The anatomy of both genders is quite different but body kun would probably still be okay if you’re trying to do both and using it for basic proportions. Archetype She is a great choice for a female manikin tho! I feel like Archetype He is mostly useful from the chest up, especially with the muscle details but overall body kun would likely help an artist who hasn’t studied anatomy in-depth to really improve on prepositions and posing, especially because of the torso crunching more realistically.

[@Nxctxphxlx]

Are the feet detachable in body kun?

[@overlordfigmori7971]

If you pull hard enough, yes.

[@lorraineclark4413]

Body Kun VS Figma: The Figma man looks like a hulking monster- I can barely stand to look at him, he's so grotesque. The female figure is good. The male Body Kun looks like a normal man; the female Body Chan is an insult to women and to anatomy. So if you REALLY want to use these as art models, get the Figma Female & the Body Kun male. I also think the Synthetic Human male is pretty good but they have no female counterpart and they're expensive so not a good idea.

[@l4l01234]

Lorraine Clark geez are you just going vídeo to video commenting about how much you hate different body types? Get over yourself there’s no “perfect” body proportions, you’re just biased to a particular standard

[@mangjuan223]

If you are an artist just go for archetype youll save money. Archetype has the details contour in muscles ull need in drawing. Its easier to downgrade your details rather than remembering all the muscles

[@fordy224]

The first half of this video SUCKED! Glad you eventually got to the important stuff though... good second half ; )

[@overlordfigmori7971]

Damn bruh harsh 😆

[@novski3175]

body kun - joke Saitama figma arche - serious Saitama

[@TheReper1210]

where did you order yours? mine are a scam and I paid 100 dollars.

[@overlordfigmori7971]

hmmm strange. If they charged you 100 than surely they must be the real thing... I got mine on amiami, unfortunately they seem sold out everywhere. eBay seems to be your only option but even then the site is filled with bootlegs. The REAL ones should be the ones priced at $100 or more, but after your incident I'm not sure anymore.

[@TheReper1210]

they might be real, the arm was dislodged when i got it, the package wasn't sealed and the male wouldn't stay on the stand, but i complained and got a full refund and kept them, so it worked out lol.

[@will_sketch]

So it's best to have both for the artist if you want more options to reference. Got it.

[@ToppaJoe]

Why they jumping naruto

[@oworeagan8565]

i ship them both hahaha, can't wait for my archtype he and she to be shipped!! nice review btw

[@KingYoite]

Does anyone know where you can get Body-kun? All I've seen online is he's sold out on reputable sites, and the sites he is on are sketchy and probably bootlegs.

[@meenakshikannan5904]

You could get it from wish, be sure to read the reviews though. Also make sure you type in "Sh figuarts" because if you just type body kun it comes up with the Archetype models.

[@hzwingz2579]

I actually ordered the figma archetype next he & she to use as an art reference. lol Though I probably should have gotten the gray one instead of fleshtone. But I'm also planning on getting body kun gray ver when I see a more reasonable price for it. Nice comparison review video.

[@Empawk]

Photos of the flesh tone ones can be desaturated to convert them into grayscale.

[@Imblessed-qy5ww]

I know these are used for manga but can you make your own custom figma action figures with these

[@Empawk]

Sure, you can add flesh and armor via sculpting with Aves Apoxie Sculpt. For glass, use plexiglass. Clothing can be made via wire and cloth combination. It would take some skill do it, but it can be done.

[@nerizaagustin1747]

Thanks :)

[@vladcoae3776]

719 subs? bruh i thought u had 700k subs

[@barbequesauce7167]

If it takes three hours to set up a one-minute slideshow, then you're spending a lot of time going 'nope, not right', yes? Take a little time to put into mental words why that pose or camera angle is a nope, then scribble it down before moving on. By the end of the three hours + thinking and writing time, you'll probably have a lot of raw material for a 'how to pose' guide.

[@overlordfigmori7971]

Thanx! Very informative info! Sorry I just got to your comment :(

What is the height

Figma Archetype Next is around 14 cm while S.H. Body Kun is around 15 cm.

[@joversecomics5536]

Would you suggest these are good for custom figs? Like if I were to paint on it.

[@overlordfigmori7971]

I'd say so. Preferably the figuarts body kun. I guess it depends on your skill level with customizing figures

[@joversecomics5536]

@@overlordfigmori7971 Thanks!

[@mychannelforviewingmemes2797]

I'd like something in between. I've got body kun today and it's just visibly cheap. but this other guy you show here would bug me even more bc if i need it for drawing I wouldn't want to draw such crappy gaps ofc. I think however, that if one's an artist, they should know how to draw already and be able to draw the articulated muscles themselves, so the posability more important for me. but why is it such a cheap crap?

[@rilakkumadetsu4428]

hello,can some one tell me,which weapon/accessories size should i get for my Figma archetype next, i don't know anything about figure but i saw like weapon/hands set for 1/12 scale figure, does they work on figma archetype ? thank you in advance

[@mangjuan223]

Another thing i see is bady kun has shoes. If you have problems drawing feet especially toes how it looks natural then you have problems. As for arche u still have a good reference

[@torbenmandala4289]

If you aren't comfortable with teaching the poses maybe you could film the process of putting them into poses.

[@flamerounin2]

Here's a little "secret". Amiami does offer some sort of cancellation option. But you need to email them before the payment deadline. And from what I have experienced, they allow cancellations despite telling you that "these cancellations are done only as a courtesy" and such. Thougfh, I would advise that you don't do the cancellation via email for consecutive orders, since they are likely going to to notice and do ban your account.

[@DeathSynadate]

where do you buy accessories

[@solomonpachowiak106]

Spirit_Of_Sun go to Shapeways and search for 1:12th scale accessories. Order them printed in frosted ultra detail material. I ordered a bunch of assault rifles and weapons like swords and stuff to use when I use them as art mannequins, they turned out great. The scale is 1:12th, they're six inches tall and one inch in our universe means twelve inches in their universe. As a result, any accessory that exists for 1:12th scale fits.

[@cameronhoodman]
