Alright /toy/ let's have a little fun. These 6 contestants are about to compete in a pose off. Where you the audience will be the judges and deciders of each challenge.
To participate submit a photo of a pose you want to see recreated where each contestant will try their best, and then anyone can comment on who they think the winner of each photoset is.
The contest ends when this thread gets archived or hits image limit.
If anyone wants to add another contestant to the competition with another 1:12 blank body be my guest.
I will try to post results to each and every photo unless it's something retarded.
Let the pose off begin.
And to start things off with a classic.

Out of curiosity, you who own a variety of blank bodies, which male and female bodies are most worth purchasing?
I'm leaning toward the Figma Archetype Next m/f only because of the look.
>>5971977
Really depends on what your planning to do with it. Drawing reference? Playing with? Customization? For drawing I prefer the Kun. For everything else the Archetypes. If this thread is successful hopefully you can make your own decision.
>>5971912
>>5971964
Coming up.
>>5971966
Due to it being a group shot I'll have to pass on this one.
>>5971912
I think its clear who lost this one.
>>5971964
I'm out keep posting challenges and rate. Ill try to get to at least 2 more before work tomorrow.
Just what are all of these body types anyways?
I know some are the figma and figuarts.
>>5972283
Orange and clear are the newest figma blanks. Middle two are the old figma blanks. Right two are the SHF.
>>5971733
How about this one?
>>5972299
Guess shoulder touching is a challenge for all except the Original archetypes.
>>5972506
As fun as it would be its too easy. Did a quick run through and they can all do it with out variation. If no other challenges are posted by the time I get home I'll come back tot his one.
How about this?
Let us have a blank off.
>>5973206
her leg is broken fampai
>>5973310
Ok.
Wasn't submitted. Did it anyways. The pose I like to test with all figures with any decent articulation. Cross legged and shoulders crossed. FAN:HE wins by default imo so its a second place competition here.
>>5973153
pretty much upside down grandpa
>>5973206
This pose is retarded, the anatomy is retarded, the entire drawing is retarded. I'll try it anyways.
>>5973961
This is good. The behind the back will push the shoulder articulation.
>>5973310
If this is your's you should try some of the posted challenges.
>>5974207
<---
So a disclaimer. Turns out the new archetype next has updated joint's. The limited edition one I have has no neck joint while the new one does. So take it's posing ability with a grain of salt.
>>5976527
You know who really needs a figma.
>>5973961
>>5973206
Also I had to demonstrate how retarded this drawing is.
So what I've gathered from this is that the female SHF is awful
>>5980082
>So what I've gathered from this is that the female SHF is awful
What I've gathered doing this thread...yes. Honestly all of the females are pretty bad articulation wise. The figma gets an asterisk though for not being the official release. I'll post Faust later tonight.
>>5981626
The new archetype 2.0 is really good, mine came in a few weeks ago and I want to say it can do some poses better than the male.
>>5981731
Yeah I had a feeling the clear one was shit compared to the current release. I couldn't see any differences in the photos though until I realized the lack of a neck joint.
Requesting this.
Requesting the Ginyu Force
I don't know, the 6th guy can just be Frieza.
Requesting BEATS AND THE BEATS AND THE BEATS IN MY HEEEAAD

kek
Requesting this
>>5973310
What figure is this? Microman?
>>5988040
Ryukendo Full Action Body or something like that. I regret not buying a whole stack of these when they were cheap. I bought one, then didn't bother with it for months. When I finally took it out and realized how great it was, the remaining ones were finally sold out.
>>5987893
who is this semen demon?
Request
>>5987687
Cheers, anon!
So during shooting the Elena pose... I fucked up and broke a stand peg in the archetype. I'll try to continue as soon as I get it out though so keep posting.
Can the SHF Bodies headswap with other SHF Kamen riders?
>>5988975
Reverse image searching is easy to do
OP, or anyone else who's used both, would you recommend the Figma archetype next or the SHF Body-chan/Body-kun?
OP here here. Ill attempt to fulfill at least 5 requests today since its my first day off in 6.
>>5997138
Honestly from doing this thread. If you can get the DX body kuns or mainly the Male DX body kun at a decent price (I did not). Get it. Only because the accessories put above the Archetype imo. If not get the figma next archetypes all the way. Biggest consideration though is what are you using them for?
>>5997619
Mostly drawing reference. I've been using whatever figures I have laying around up to this point and it's efficient enough but I figure I should just grab a blank pair for the actual purpose of being reference.
>>6000477
If you're willing to spend $90 then this seems like it will be a lot better than either of them to just use as a pose reference:

I'm an animator and I'm planning on getting one both because I'll probably just enjoy playing with it and because it will be good to have a super posable go-to figure for pose references that like chills on my desk rather than just sort of grabbing whatever I have around like I do now.
>>6000511
Oh wow that one looks dope. Think I'll have to grab one of those. Wish I could afford two.
Insomnia beat me the other day. But I did finish shooting 4/5 just need to edit.
