Play Arts Kai - PROJECT! Final Fantasy

From the NY Toy Fair 2016:

 

[Tennyo]

Hot damn. Do want.

 

[Pixel]

Is it just me, or does the photo of Cloud look stretched? His face looks kind of long

 

[Channy]

Could be the jawline. Previously, some Lightning figs had awkwardly cut jawlines making them appeared skewed and stretched.

 

[lithiumkatana17]

My god, the detail on Barrett is just INSANE.

Cloud looks good too, but the work on Barrett is just PHENOMENAL.

 

[Channy]

And I hope a lot of that doesn't get lost from prototype to mass production.

 

[Tennyo]

I do notice that Barret had upped his belt quota.

I do notice that Barret had upped his belt quota.

I guess Nomura felt like throwing a few more zippers and belts on the characters for good measure. 'Cause why not?

 

[Channy]

He wouldn't be Nomura if he didn't

 

[Tennyo]

Advice, please:

Is it worth it to pay $120 for the AC Cloud figure on the Square Enix store for the points/badges/etc or should I get it from Play Asia for $20 less?

What exactly can you get with all those points/awards anywa?

 

[Channy]

How about a decent China one? They're getting pretty damn good with the bootlegs.

 

[Tennyo]

rofl I actually was just browsing eBay and saw that one. Had a good laugh.

NOTE: The figure is a good quality China version.

I mean, at least they're honest.

 

[Channy]

Totally, I mean... it's not horrible.

 

[Tennyo]

Yeah it actually is a fairly decent-looking figure. That is, IF the figure in the photo is indeed the one they are sending me.

Also, I calculated shipping with Play Asia and there's not a HUGE difference between them and the SE store when you consider that I can have free shipping with SE...

hmm...

 

[Channy]

I'll probably order the cheapie from ebay, tbh. There was a day when knockoffs could be spotted a mile away but when they're that nice, I'm not as bothered. I mean, I got an Aerith movement in a knock off box, so0o0oo

SE shipping in the US pretty fast too? I know with Play Asia and Hobby Japan I always got dinged pretty bad with customs..

 

[Tennyo]

I've never ordered from any of them before to be honest, so I'm not really sure.

I am also tempted to order that cheap one. haha

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Well, it's not like the official ones don't come from China anyway.

 

[trash panda]

^ I've wondered about that...I mean...doesn't mostly everything come from China anyway?

 

[Ite]

I always liked the "Barret's hand is bigger than his head" style. His feet too. But I guess realism is where they are going.

Even the universe was made in China. True story.

 

[Flare]

Well, it's not like the official ones don't come from China anyway.

Seeing as my Sephiroth Play Arts was made in China......

 

[Channy]

Yeah so it's not like we're doing the figures a disservice or anything.
