The face can be swapped between three expressions.

The armaments are quite a bit more plentiful compared to Arsia.

A large dao sword and 2 types of scabbards have been newly added.

A long-range rifle has also been newly added.

The 2 types of shoulder stocks can be used interchangeably with the existing Arsia rifle.

The new armament, the movable binder, has 2 mounting options to choose from on its underside.

The large dao sword and rifle can be mounted as shown above.

One new pair of goggles has also been added.

Artynia - Together with Arsia. The hairstyle has changed, the skin tone has gotten darker, and a number of armamen

Together with Arsia.
The hairstyle has changed, the skin tone has gotten darker, and a number of armaments have been added.

Following Arsia — the character who appeared in the art book "Shimada Fumikane Artworks II" — Artynia has now been released. The base body structure is the same as Arsia, but the hairstyle has been changed and a variety of armaments have been added to the lineup. Shoulder armor and a movable binder have been added to the body, and a large dao sword and long-range rifle have been added as weapons.

So the basic articulation characteristics are identical to Arsia, and it still shows solid articulation and stable joint strength. It feels like the armaments have roughly doubled, which opens up a much wider range of poses. The movable binder added to the back is especially versatile — it can be spread out like wings, used to mount the large dao sword and rifle, or even used like a sub-arm. Everything holds its position really well, so you can strike poses without much frustration.

Along with the expanded armaments, the hairstyle has also been changed to a short bob, the skin tone has been shifted to a slightly tanned, deeper shade, and new armor has been added to the shoulders. The one thing to watch out for is that the shoulder armor, which moves on a ball joint, can pop off occasionally during posing. As a bonus, a new pair of goggles has been included as well — and with all these added parts, the price has gone up ¥2,000 to ¥7,200.

So Arsia has been upgraded with a much richer set of armaments in this release. If the style appeals to you, this is definitely worth the investment — it's a fantastic girl-pla with figure-like sculpting and solid quality. :-)
