More VII PlayArts (DoC Vincent, Yuffie, Rufus)

[Cloud_S]

So this is kinda disheartening to learn.....

http://boards.4chan.org/toy/res/3577138

So instead of super tight joint (in the case of the right shoulder at any rate), its somehow super loose.

And yes I'm the OP of the thread.....so I'll be checking out the figure more today, hopefully isn't a total wash (especially since the eBay seller doesn't accept returns...though I gotta wonder if they lied about never being played with...I mean...how else would the shoulder be loose, and they marked it as shipped on the 1st, but really mailed it on the 5th, so...yeah).

Nanaki figure!

(Also, I not sure how to put this in spoiler tags and/or make the image smaller...)

Cloud_S: Hope you leave that seller some nasty feedback. Of course, it is possible that Square was lazy with this particular sculpt as well -- but, either way, that seller is a doucher.

Bloody: That Nanaki, on the other hand, looks sweet.

Cloud_S, thank you for sharing a photo of your Dissidia Cloud. I have the Squall Dissidia figure; and while I haven't had any problems with him, aside from his having a very loose right hand, I've heard that the joints on these particular figures are very bad. There have been complaints that the figures are very fragile and that the joints can easily break. I hope this new ACC line is of better quality; fans really should get their money's worth for these figures.

 

[Arianna]

Just pre-ordered mine (combined the order/eventual shipping with Yuffie and Rufus)!

Same here. I am not missing out on these guys again (except for Rufus.)

I had only mentioned the shipping time issue, but them followed up with the arm joints issue. Had I not been limited by character restrictions I would have noted being unsure if it was an off the line issue or had been messed with in contrast to the description. Either way, I've yet to receive feedback.


In other news, another Red XIII photo:

And Tidus and Tuna also will get PAK figures:

Perhaps we'll need an all around in-general Final Fantasy PAK topic soon....

I've never really bothered with the Play Arts or figurines in general, but now I can't stop thinking how good a Nanaki figure would look on my desk 0_0

 

[Cloud_S]

I was hoping we'd have a pre-order up for Red XIII/Nanaki by now...but I suppose they're waiting on the sales of Rufus, Yuffie, and Vincent.

Nanaki at the latest Tokyo Game Show:

 

[Hisako]

Holy shit that Nanaki looks epic

Haven't really seen many non-humanoid PAKs, come to think of it. Are there any others out there we could find a reference out of?

 

[Cloud_S]

Well my PAK Vincent, Rufus, and Yuffie are paid for and should ship soon. Will be via EMS, so I'll expect it by next Monday or Tuesday.

Also, there's a metallic version of Vinny offered on the SE JP store: http://store.jp.square-enix.com/detail/MFF7PA07 though I don't see the appeal.

 

[Cloud_S]

They arrived today! The thing that most surprised me was the use of English.

Rufus

Spoiler

(Somehow, his extra hands came out of their area...)

Yuffie

Spoiler

Vincent

Spoiler

I'll take some more pics later, with perhaps better lighting and out of box stuff too...(and see how they match up with Dissidia Cloud PAK).

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Thanks for all the detailed pictures -- the English is, indeed, surprising. I think this is the first time we've had an official source actually confirm that Jenova was absorbing the planet's energy.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I think Rufus was taking the piss out of whichever spotty intern Square Enix sent to interview him for that box blurb. "Rufus kept Jenova's head in a box he named the Jenova Box," (too bad he didn't call it the Head Case) and "Rufus refers to the shotgun as the pinnacle of Shinra Company's technology." Sure he does.

I quite liked the "he used to be bad but now he's good but who knows, he could be bad really underneath it all," bit.

Well played.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

One does have to wonder who the hell wrote that, and what they were toking.

 

[Cloud_S]

More than welcome for the pictures

Seems Rufus has negative reviews on Amazon.jp: http://translate.googleusercontent...._dp_cr&usg=ALkJrhjYhCOffjnX-kpU0RsoQS_hUlT9mg

However Vincent has more favorable things said: http://translate.googleusercontent...._dp_cr&usg=ALkJrhgNPsYZPoTxfk8ZQdAHyt2gMTTr2Q

Yuffie isn't doing too bad in the review department either, even if there's just one so far: http://translate.googleusercontent...._dp_cr&usg=ALkJrhg95qgV-3Z7NSQTt9TkYApWxVjhmQ

Holy crap!

[Unlucky]

^It's about damn time.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

This would be amazing news, but are we sure our collective chain isn't being yanked? I mean, "Syd Barrett"?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Well, my Rufus has arrived from Japan. His skin tones certainly look sickly enough. His suit is kind of disappointing, though, because it's grey rather than white. He will now live next to Reno on my bookshelf, forever in his box like Stinky Pete from Toy Story II, .

PAK Barrett and Cid in development?!

Oh frabjous day!

Release is late January 2014.

Maybe should have its own topic....who knows, maybe more X PAKs are down the road...

 

[Cloud_S]

Here's the metallic Vinny PAK from the NYCC:
