Action Figure Final Fantasy VII Remake Collectibles

[Shadow Ranger]

For 30k Yen, these don't look that hot in the faces or hair. Clothes look excellent though.
SE tax strikes again?

Can anyone share their experience of swapping the hands of the AC Cloud figure? I asked this question quite a while back but it's still such a pain - I have to use a hairdryer every time otherwise I feel like I'm going to tear the arm apart trying to shove the hand peg into the hole in the glove.

Also, I took his black wrist cover off and I saw these marks on his forearm (see images 2 and 3). Anyone else have something like this on their Cloud?

And speaking of the cover, I swear to god it's borderline impossible to swap his hands with that cover on. Image 1 is the highest I can make the cover sit on his arm, and no matter how much I soften up the hand, it refuses to sit in place and falls out. Any tips on how I can move the cover further up his arm? Or is it not meant to go any higher?

Lastly, to those who have the GT-006D body, how is it? Would it be possible to do swap the clothes from the AC Cloud to that body and vice versa? What about the hairpiece, is that swappable? Has anyone done a tutorial or a guide on how to do that?

Or would it be a better idea to just skip the 006D body and wait for GameToys to do another Cloud with his more iconic FF7 look in the future? (Sorry for all the questions)

As much as I love the AC Cloud figure for its appearance and overall design, good Lord is it a bother to handle and pose.

I'm not gonna take my Cloud's black arm cover off, but considering how tight it is and how it creates an oily residue, I'm sure it doesn't look pretty under there, either. The hands are an extremely tight fit, and that's true of all of GT's figures. I hate swapping hands on these figs.

The GT-006D body is fine. Not as high quality as the original Remake body, but about the same quality as Zack. I don't see any reason why you couldn't swap the clothes, but maybe this black arm cover would be a tight fit on the plastic arm if you don't have a set of the silicone ones. You do have to deconstruct the SOLDIER harness to remove it, it is not designed to be removed. The hairpiece was designed to be compatible specifically with the AC head, I actually have it on my AC figure already, because mine came out with a cleaner paintjob.

It's hard to say if GT will make another Cloud. We've had five or six other work-in-progress figures teased that might take priority over a Cloud 2.0, and with Square's crackdowns and GT Boss's perfectionist mindset, they're producing figures at a much slower rate than it first seemed like they would. They'd also previously indicated they didn't plan to make a Cloud 2.0. It's safer to assume they won't. But I still say never say never. Given that they're now making rolling eyeballs for Tifa and the AC Sephiroth, I think it could happen. But I would not plan on it, it's just as likely they put out a rolling eyeball version of Cloud with a different outfit (like the Shinra grunt outfit I'm still rooting to see released).

ACG has indicated a desire to make a Cloud, and that's probably the most likely way people who missed out on the GT one will get his main outfit. Provided they haven't been scared off by Square Enix; if you haven't seen, their next figure is Android 18 from DBZ, and not any of the Square figures they'd previously suggested were in the works (like 2B or the battle outfit Tifa). That could mean they've shifted away from previous plans, or it could be meaningless. Only time will tell there.

Cool, thank you! I might just get the body in that case, and will most likely keep that arm cover off. Have you (or has anyone else) tried cleaning the silicone with water and applied talcum powder. Regardless of what the manual says, I'm gonna think twice before doing anything to the body lol.

I don't do anything to my silicone parts except try to keep them in a consistent climate. You only want to be moistening silicone if you keep it in a dry enough climate that the air is sucking the moisture out of it, and you only want to be powdering it if you live in a wet enough climate that its sucking moisture out of the air.

I don't see the point of worrying about areas that's meant to be covered.
