Thinking of trying one of these as I believe they are pretty good these days. Any recommendations of what company to buy from please? I’m a total beginner so need something suitable for my first one.

I’ve been doing it for about 18 years now! Love it! I buy from Amazon, Temu, AliExpress, all really cheap ( less than £10 each!)
Amazon arrives next day, so you can start pronto, the others take 2/3 weeks.
I paid £25 to £35 easily when I started, but the quality is identical, it’s a great hobby.
Sometimes I fill in tiny areas with felt tips and outlines in black felt tip, slightly easier, have fun 🤪

I totally get wanting to dive in! It's so much fun once you get started. For a beginner, I'd really recommend looking for kits with good instructions and perhaps not getting too caught up with optimizing your ragdoll archers until you've got the basics down. Maybe check out some local hobby shops for advice too!
