We just got two new guys in the office... They seem a little tense

[Erotic Materia]

They're a little short, and they don't talk much. But damn, do they have some incredible hair.

Spoiler: I think they're violating the "no-weapons" workplace policy, but I'm not gonna be the one to tell them

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I just had to share it somewhere.

 

[Rydeen]

DId you 3D print these? I remember someone on Etsy selling similar figures before they inevitably got C&D'd :/

 

[Erotic Materia]

I saw the article about that! It looks like someone else took up the mantle, because I did in fact find these on Etsy.

Here's the link

 

[Rydeen]

Ermegerd, that's a problem. Because I am thinking "Ok, well I am definitely getting Reno and Rufus... but you can't have Reno without Rude... Also, Barrett is my favorite character in AVALANCHE.. and Cloud is awesome and iconic.. oh and Elena got pretty badass after meteorfall... Shit now I want all of them." Gotta think on this, since I try to avoid collectables/clutter in general and they are also expensive.

 

[Erotic Materia]

I'm the same way, I don't have much in the way of trinkets. Buuuut I was riding the hype train pretty hard when I got them.

Oh no. I've just gone and bought Rufus and the Turks...

...also no regrets

 

[Erotic Materia]

Be sure to post a picture when you get them!

 

[Rydeen]

I just bought Rufus myself. In the future I plan to get Reno, and maybe Rude. His skin tone is pretty off, but I'm not sure if I care enough.

It looks like they are hand painted. Which explains the order time and the price. They are very good at miniature painting! Eyes are a bitch.

You have one of the best user names I've ever seen

 

[Alex Strife]

I was going to get Cloud and then I thought I can't have Cloud without Tifa! So there goes that.

Oh, and I also got Aeris because that's what you do.

I guess now's the time to wait!!

 

[Erotic Materia]

Why, thank you. I'm glad someone appreciates it.

PirateNinjas posted this announcement today:

Notice to customers looking for the Final Fantasy 7 figurines:
Recently Square Enix filed a notice of copyright infringement with Etsy so Unfortunately I am no longer able to sell them, I will be emailing Square to see if there is a way to keep selling them legally though, fingers crossed we can come to an arrangement.

Knew it was coming. Just make the goddamn models already Square Enix
Not sure what this means for people who have already purchased them. I'll wait a day or two to see if they say something about that.
Just thinking that I may not get my hands on these guys again

Ugh. I knew something funky was up. I ordered mine a month ago and never heard anything. SE, at least the western divisions, is the worst. It'll be stupid if they don't give this gal a license or start making official figurines but I'm not holding my breath. Erotic Materia may have been the last person to get to enjoy these.

Spoiler: No ragrets

 

[Rydeen]

This needs to be a smiley now, Cthulhu.

 

[Alex Strife]

Welp. That's a lot of money for a whole lot of NOTHING.

To be honest, I'm guessing they'll get to send the ones that were already purchased, even if not sell any more...

 

[Rydeen]

Mine just shipped, but I'm sad because it's just Rufus and I wanted to get Reno and Rude eventually. D: It'll be far too lonely.

 

[Teioh]

I was waiting for my order to be updated to say they it had been dispatched but it never did. Instead I came home today to find these guys!

Spoiler

They're smaller than I was expecting but that just makes me love them more <3

 

[Rydeen]

He so SMOL :3
Bittersweet since I can't get Reno and Rude to go with unless a miracle happens.

 

[ultima espio]

Looks like they are coming officially

 

[SailorStarDust]

The Japanese description for the Mini Figures mention they're a Set of 7 plus 1 Secret Character...You can bet your butt I'll be buying these for some "Retro" '97 goodness! (Especially if the Secret Character is Zack *Swoon* )

 

[Rydeen]

I think someone said in another thread that they are part of a lottery :/

 

[LNK]

Looks like they are coming officially

maybe I didn't look hard enough, but what website did you see these on?

 

[ultima espio]

A website called Toyark, twitter and on here too. In the remake merch thread.

[SailorStarDust]

The Japanese Squenix Merch Twitter mentioned "Commemorative Lottery on sale" so yeah, I'm pretty :/ about that, too:

I really wanted the Trading Arts (not Play Arts, but Trading Arts ) Remake figures, too.... *Sigh*
