Square Enix Play Arts Kai Gets New Licenses

I still need to pick up Tifa.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I need Tifa and Yuffie still. I'm not even bothering with Rufus

Do you think it's hard to find a decent pose for Barrett?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah, he's too big and you can't easily bring his arms together to make him hold his gun-arm.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I ain't got a pic right now, but i managed to get him to hold his gun arm up and it not look ********

I'll take a pic tonight

I don't see the reasoning for all these scale jumps in their lines. Up the quality, not the height. By next year they'll be even closer to 12' and costing $100+ at the minimum.

I think they were never happy with the old scale, i have a feeling they've settled on a scale they're happy with now. If it does reach 12 inches then they've lost the plot..

There's plenty other things I should be getting first, but I keep coming back to look at these. Particularly the Marvel, DC and Star Wars lines. Are those to scale?
Still haven't got a single one yet though.

Bay's movie turtles are also like Kai variants, lol.

I think they've settled on one main scale recently, specifically the one that started from MGS1 and the Variants Kai DC figures (though they still tend to screw that up, making certain characters too tall like TPP Big Boss and AO Joker).

Anyone else PO'd Arkham Knight Batman? It looks surprisingly non-stylized for a PAK and I've decided to pick it up as a pseudo-New 52 Batman for my collection...

Also following up on Vader, they're getting ready to put up their Variants Kai Stormtrooper and Boba Fett:

Cont'd from my previous post:

 

[LipSmack]

Just. No.

 

[Chrono]

I'm loving their variants. Every character is buffed up to insane sizes. Two of those stormtroopers and Vader would be absolutely awesome.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

As far as stylised PAKs go that Boba Fett looks pretty cool

And that Batman looks beast. Could quite possibly be the nicest looking PAK proto shown to date

 

[ZombieRepublican]

There's a few quite mixed reactions to the Star Wars redesigns. I like it, they look very badass. Maybe it's because I'm not a huge Star Wars guy.

 

[Chrono]

It'd be kinda cool if someone could repaint and mod the Stormtroopers into Commando designs. God damn. So coooooool

I was a huge Star Wars fan, and I think they're awesome renditions of characters that we've seen thousands of times already. Sadly I'm more biased towards Vader compared to Boba and the Stormtroopers, so I'm not as keen to pick these up. Still I think they look pretty great.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Boba Fett looks okay, but I'm not crazy over these interpretations.

 

[Brainiac]

Holy crap those troopers look awesome

 

[Sevreed]

I think these looks kinda neat actually. I won't be buying any but it's neat that it's out there.

 

[Knightstalker]

Yeah love these, will get all three Star Wars PAKs.

 

[Silrian]

I don't understand the appeal in 'variants'. Some look cool designs just on their own, but they're not the actual character. They haven't been featured in anything. I don 't get what the appeal is.

AK Batman looks great, but, I don't dig the suit that much, it looks like a PAK variant in and of itself already.

 

[FSLAR]

The appeal is just that, a variant look of a character. Not much else to it. The problem with that idea is that with since the design wasn't featured in anything, if the design sucks, it's not going to sell. It's like some of the SDCC variants of figures like metallic paint jobs, only those use existing molds. I've honestly grown to not care for the variants anymore, I'm still trying to get rid of my Variant Batman but eBayers just keep 'watching' my listing and not bothering...
