Anyone knows what flesh tone (blanks) closely resembles that of the Myrmidon warrior? I'm guessing either walnut or coffee?

I just received a package from Vitruvian Armory and want to give them a shout-out.
Am very impressed I am by the whole store experience. The website. The checkout. The way everything is individually bagged. The Vitruvian Armory-branded little touches. The packing. Everything is really first class. It's a great service to the community if anyone hasn't tried it yet. |

odd that a 3rd party service selling BFS parts can operate a business better than Boss Fight can with their own product.
seems like BFS is definitely leaving alot of money on the table with the limited options they offer. I'm thinking they made alot of blanks initially, and that really bit them in the butts. For me, the only reason I don't order more of their stuff is the thigh articulation - I don't know who thought those fugly cut-out pieces were a good idea |

I'm very leery of how '3rd party' VA are since his address is essentially across the block from BossFight's address.
And I want to say it was Erik that told me they engineered the bucks to be difficult to bootleg, which seems to have worked since there are no good bootlegs of them out there. |

There were some pretty decent bootlegs of both the male and female bucks on eBay for a while. I don’t know what happened there, but they may not have lasted because they were selling for the same price as the real thing. As far as the thigh joint… it doesn’t really bother me at all, but from the looks of the Umbrella Academy stuff they may be moving to a swivel thigh cut in the future.

I guess technically VA is third party- but I before BFS recognizes and endorsed him as an official retailer in their products

Justin with Vitruvian Armory is a pretty cool guy. He has hosted a few late night video chats on Facebook in the past. I got on two of those, and talked alot of 1:18 nonsense with him.
He lives about 1 hour from the BFS store. He has a good relationship with them and drops alot of money. He doesn't seem to have the same level of relationship that Paddy Lennon or Chris McLeod have regarding access. I have bought from Justin and will do so again in the future. He runs a good store, is customer service focused. If you want to buy a part and it's profitable for him to the buy the figure and turn a profit, he will start buying that figure from BFS. |

He buys them at their distributor prices. Their app is goofy, so you can see those prices on occasion. I have even gotten the distributor price a few times when they haven't locked things down properly. A full 'normal' figure is normally about $16, as opposed to $22.50 or whatever it is. I bought one of the $40 lunch boxes for $23 or so also. I didn't abuse it, so they let those discounts go through. |
