“Like we need another one”, but wait, check this out: https://www.themodellingnews.com/2020/07/arto-production-new-figures-in-35th.html great looking figures that are comparable to Alpine in quality.

I do hope these are a success for the new company, as competition and choice is good for the market. And no pointing Germans. Yet.

German stuff sells well. Hopefully, this gets their "foot in the door" in the world of figures and their future offerings will be non-German.
Personally I'd like to see some quality civilian figures.
I wish them the best of luck AND the more the merrier !
Thanks for the heads up these new dudes!

Nice figures but the price of them is out of this world. US$36 for a 1/35 resin figure? Seriously? I hope they get real and bring the price down to be competitive with just about every other resin figure manufacturer out there or they will be a footnote in the hobby. Let's hope the pricing on the hobby search website is incorrect.

Just wait for the copy cats... Unless you want to pay for quality, seeing this I would. One of the best sculpting I've ever seen. Excellent figures.

36USD is $48.27 in Canadian dollars - that makes them way more expensive than Alpine figures. If they were almost 50USD would you still be saying the same thing?? There are many more reasonable alternatives!
