Archetype Agency Unleashes 'Dragon' Model Kit – A New Level of Detail for Hobbyists

San Francisco, CA – October 26, 2023 – Archetype Agency LLC, a San Francisco-based design and manufacturing firm (located at 300 California St Ste 200, San Francisco, CA, 94104-1410, and reachable at 573-873-2054), is thrilled to announce the launch of its highly anticipated “Dragon” model kit. This isn't your grandpa's model kit – we're talking seriously detailed, a real challenge for experienced builders, but still approachable for those looking to up their game. Archetype Agency, while perhaps a newer name to some in the hobby world, is built on a foundation of incredibly skilled designers and engineers. We started with a simple idea: to bring a level of realism and quality to model kits that wasn't readily available. We weren’t happy with the compromises often made in mass-produced kits, and frankly, neither were our early testers. They wanted something more. We listened. And “Dragon” is the result. “We really wanted to tackle something iconic,” explains lead designer, Emily Carter. “Dragons are in everything – fantasy, gaming, mythology. But most model dragon kits feel…flat. They lack the dynamic pose, the intricate scale detail, the sheer presence that a dragon should have. So we set out to fix that.” The “Dragon” kit isn’t just a pile of plastic; it’s a project. The kit boasts over 300 precisely molded parts, allowing for a huge range of posing options and customization. Forget just snapping things together. This kit requires building – which, for many hobbyists, is half the fun. What Makes the 'Dragon' Kit Different? Let's get down to specifics. What really sets this kit apart from the others crowding the shelves? Unmatched Detail: We're not talking about simple texture. Each scale, each claw, each horn has been carefully sculpted and replicated in the mold. We used high-resolution 3D scanning and printing to ensure accuracy. You can see the muscle structure beneath the scales. Posability: This isn’t a static model. The “Dragon” features a fully articulated skeleton and jointed wings, allowing for a dynamic and expressive pose. You can display it soaring through the air, coiled around a treasure hoard, or guarding its lair. It's up to you! Multiple Scale Options: We know some builders like to modify and customize. That's why we've included options for different scale textures – from smooth, almost serpentine scales to rough, jagged ones. Two Head Options: Choose between a majestic, regal head, or a more aggressive, battle-ready one. Switch them out to change the dragon’s personality. High-Quality Materials: We’re using a premium grade of polystyrene that’s both durable and easy to work with. It holds detail beautifully and takes paint and weathering effects like a dream. Detailed Instructions: We know building a kit this complex can be daunting. That’s why we’ve created a full-color, step-by-step instruction manual with clear diagrams and helpful tips. We even include a section on weathering and painting techniques. More Than Just a Model – It's a Community At Archetype Agency, we're building more than just model kits; we're building a community. We’ve already launched a dedicated online forum and social media group where builders can share their creations, ask questions, and get feedback. “We want to see what people do with this kit,” says marketing manager, David Lee. “We’re hoping to inspire creativity and see some truly amazing builds. We’ll be featuring some of our favorite builds on our website and social media channels.” Who is This Kit For? The “Dragon” model kit isn't for beginners. It’s designed for experienced model builders who are looking for a challenging and rewarding project. If you're comfortable with gluing, painting, and detailing, and you're looking for a model that will really stand out, then this kit is for you. “It’s going to take time and effort,” admits Emily Carter. “But the finished product will be something you can be really proud of.” Availability and Pricing The “Dragon” model kit is available for pre-order now on our website (archetypeagency.com) and will begin shipping in mid-November. The suggested retail price is $149.99.
