Play Arts Kai - PROJECT! Final Fantasy

[Hisako]

I don't get it, the sculpts of the PAKs are almost nigh perfect and then every now and then there's some fuckwit who doesn't know how to manufacture these things and comes out with a really mediocre paint job

That skin tone, I don't even

Not to mention the sometimes ugly-as-sin joints. I know there's few ways to make them both highly poseable and also nice to look at, but, shit, I'll take not looking like shit over poseability any day.

^ Okay that is just awesome.

If I had money for these I would GRAB THEM ALL!

Tons of new pics of the colored prototypes!

Red XIII

Besides filling out the rest of the AC cast (including KYL and Seph, even Marlene and Denzel?) I'd love PAKs of the original VII designs.... including a PAK of OWA Sephiroth. The details the original concept art had are amazing and I'd love to see that in a large scale figure.

lol I can't get over how fucking derpy Barret's face is

 

[Cloud_S]

lol I can't get over how fucking derpy Barret's face is

Agreed... I really hope that like Tifa, he gets an extra head/expression....

 

[Cloud_S]

So I saw these in-person at the S-E booth at NYCC '14 (only Cloud and Red were colored), very impressed. I've a couple of clear/close-up pics, but official ones have been released (with painted Barret and Tifa!).

Awwwwwwwwwwesommmmmmme

My photos from NYCC '14. Lots of Barret as he was the easiest to get good shots of (everyone was more interested in Cloud, lol...).

Sale and pre-orders for Play Arts Kai if anyone's interested.

 

[Cloud_S]

Considering it's been 1yr 2months+ since we heard about Barret and Cid, and we finally were given solid release dates for Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and Red XIII... I'd hope that at the next show, we see Cid at the very least. But I'd love to also see Sephiroth, Reno, Rude, Tseng, Elena, Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo...

Btw I should mention that Cloud's been pushed to May, while Red and Barret were moved up from January to December. Tifa's still slated for January.

Also this guy is making transformable swords (and other items):

He finished the swords:

I'm hopeful we'll see Cid's prototype before the year's out, maybe even up for order along with AC Sephiroth (kinda surprised he wasn't the 2nd or 3rd).

Also with the remake fueling things, FFVII PAKs soon?

 

[Cloud_S]

So the Square Enix Products facebook page has posted prototype PAK photos of Final Fantasy XV's Gladiolus, Ignis, and Prompto from TGS '15. No Cid.....

I commented on each post regarding Cid, but for whatever reason the comment on the Lightning statue is getting the most likes... so "like" it if you're on facebook.

 

[Fangu]

for whatever reason

 

[Cloud_S]

for whatever reason

?????

 

[Cloud_S]

Sorry folks, still no Cid (or Sephiroth for that matter) at the PAK display at NYCC '15 (which I'm not attending, for once).

I've never seen Fran receive her own Play Arts Kai before!

And please please please I really hope they do another Sephiroth one in this new awesome style. Preferably his CC look, but I'll settle for a VII remake version if I must.

Urgh... more fucking Sora's.
