A new entry into the "experimental purchase" category is the Arctech 002 Punishing Gray Raven: Lucia figure.
The character design looked interesting, but I knew nothing of the mobile game or of the manufacturer, Apex Innovations. But hey, it was lockdown and I was bored out of my mind.
Little did I know it would end up being delayed anyway.
I've got mixed feelings about this figure, partially due to some poor choices on my side, and other part because of the actual figure itself.
I blame myself as I probably should have picked a less lanky character for an entry into my collection. While this is a fledgling figure line, it seems like to pick the only ne that skipped every single gains day possible.
With regards to the actual figure itself, the actual finishes on the various parts are actually pretty good, and with the exception of one or two spots could go head to head with Japanese figures.
The quality control, on the other hands is not that great on some parts, with joints frequently pulling out of place when undergoing normal posing. There are also some tolerance issues, which resulted in a very frustrating experience trying to get photos done.
Finally, the engineering behind the figure isn't exactly earth shattering. I know I'm not supposed to expect like some sort of quantum technology or something, but you figure that between the material choices and joint designs that that range of motion of the hips would be better.
