Action Figure Final Fantasy VII Remake Collectibles

You can't be serious For this being a 2025 figure, the visible joints are disappointing. Not to mention a deluxe price for little accessories. Even Gametoys gives you a Versus 13 option. You must work for them lol

impressive how hard it is for people to grasp differing tastes. it’s $120 for an extremely solid, game-accurate premium action figure of noct. that’s fine. not every figure needs to be cloth & fully seamless that’ll deteriorate within 5 years.

Yea I wouldn't compare play arts with gametoys since they serve different functions at different price points.

That said the globs of paint on the hair remind me of an old bootleg figure I got. I'm actually a little shocked they would take a high res close up photo of it to promote the new price increase. I imagine the production model will have even lower quality, but hopefully it turns out good.

i think he’s hand painted since it’s an early proto model? i doubt the globs would be present on a final release model.. but we’ll see, lol, it is square after all. their qc has improved but i’ll be waiting till release on all their stuff regardless

I didn’t pay much more than that for Gametoys Cloud. So I think it’s a pretty fair comparison.

I think it depends on what you're looking for. One is more of a display piece and the other is more of a toy.

There is something nice about having a figure you can pose carefree and not have the fabric or silicon deteriorate, which is what I think the OP wants.

Also it's probably more fair to compare prices with the upcoming gt noctis, which is closer to $300 than a release from nearly 3 years ago. Still... play arts feels expensive for the quality imo

the head is really good. compared to that most recent update pic from gametoys… it’s not all that different, honestly. hell, they got the eye shape better than the gt, they didn’t do the sharp ends at all. square is making huge progress on the line imo

The Play Arts head looks like a really bad knock off to be honest with some really messy mold cuts.. and the GT is only $50 more for a better head sculpt, better paint, silicon arms, no visible joints, fabric clothes.

Exactly what I was saying. That Play Arts looks terrible.

Conversations like this are why Square keeps trying to shut the third parties down lol.

$50? How much was your PO?
I'm seeing prices of like $270 compared to $120. Obviously gametoys looks better, but not everyone is looking to drop that much for a figure.

Btw my PO is with gundamit where the final price is still "unknown," should I be concerned or are they legit?

Gundamit is certainly legit, bought a few Gametoys items from them. Though, they are slower on getting stock and shipping

Got a decent deal on a SD Aerith set, had to buy the body. Toys Era isn’t inspiring much hope lately lol, in before it finally releases this week

Very sad, this Aerith from Toys Era was in very good quality in the prototypes, I still have hopes that it will be released at some point

 

[batvaleska]

has there been any negative news come out regarding TE or is it just the usual radio silence?

 

[willy156]

Toys Era has gone completely silence, their last update was mid 2024 for their Joel figure which did release but nothing since

and I think the last Aerith update was her seamless arms but that was back in late 2023 I think

November last year I believe Leon posted the seamless arms

I can't paint for the life of me but I'm happy with how this turned out. Low key a little shocked that the rolling actually worked in the end.

Sand the 3d print, thin your paints.
