Square Enix Play Arts Kai Gets New Licenses

[dominishin]

I'm glad they're redoing the AC line. Cloud was crap. Hopefully he's awesome now with their new hair and face skills. And they better not forget the holster this time!

They have to do Fenrir, it's not like they haven't done something in a larger scale before (Shiva and Odin summons from XIII, and they transformed). Hopefully the bike opens up for those weapon slots.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Fenrir definitely. I just hope the fusion swords can be separated, or there is a whole fusion sword and separate swords. I hope he gets his sword bag too.

The original AC cloud was very bad, the whole AC line was bad when I think about it. They were smaller than the game line and the quality was much poorer.

 

[dominishin]

The game line came a bit later, so it was naturally better.

Only a two figs were great from original AC. Yuffie and Vincent (except for his poseability). Sephiroth was ok. Kadaj, Cloud, Tifa, and Reno were meh to crap. But man, they were cheap back then... 20-30 bucks. And a lot of times, cheaper as they had plenty to sell.

 

[Snake Plissken]

The game line was later? I was under the impression they came first, they sure explains a lot. The game line were spot on with the official artwork. I just don't understand why they didn't continue with Cid and Barret.

Vol. 1 AC was actually their second time doing FF Play Arts figures. First was X-2.

 

[Snake Plissken]

If they do Fenrir, I hope it includes the fold out sheaths for all the swords.

Are you sure?

I'm almost certain the first FF line was XII, then AC, Then 7, 8, 10 and 9

 

[dominishin]

I am VERY sure. I followed Play Arts since they've started.

XII was definitely not before AC. AC vol. 2 however did come after XII.

For the PA line it was:

X-2
AC vol. 1
VIII
X
XII
AC vol. 2
VII (game line) vol. 1
VII (game line) vol. 2
Crisis Core
IX

This is not including the Cloud and Sephiroth from the KH line, or the Play Arts Arms (extra weapons for PA figures).

 

[Snake Plissken]

It would be great if we got PAK of the game line as well. I would drop 90$ on each without batting an eye.

 

[Monger]

I hope these follow the Dissidia line. I also hope they one day continue the Dissidia line :/ Would like to see more villains such as ExDeath and Kefka. Gilgamesh would be amazing too.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I'd like then to do the game line too. Most joints were terrible but the arms are the worst there like matchsticks

Glad I am not the only one who had major issues, assuming you are talking about the Dissidia line. My Squall is basically destroyed. His wrist joint was garbage so that renders his main arm useless. He and Cloud also have a hard enough time standing and Cloud can't hold the Buster Sword for ____. The only saving grace is Gabranth, which was a great figure.

 

[Eiko82]

I hope that they redo AC Tifa. She didn't look her best back then.

I don't really need another AC Yuffie. The original PA was just fine tho I have to say that I like the materia she comes with.

wish they would continue with the last 2 someday.... heres hoping.. aside for ff13 they didnt have a complete roster for the other titles right??

No i don't think, they definitely didn't for 7,8,9,10,12

I wish they would finish lines. I can't see them releasing all that they released for the PA though, it'd be great if they did.

I hope they do more with 8 and 10

I wasn't actually talking about the Dissidia but i have no doubt they are the same quality. I didn't pick any of the Dissidia line up bar Gabbrath, who as you said was great.

It makes me sick that they did Vincent and Yuffie who were optional characters and Barret and Cid were officially canon to the game itself.

Barret was a surprise. I expected them to have done him. Cid i can understand, he wasn't as cooler looking character as the rest in terms of a figure

Barret is the first member you meet!

Cid isn't as flashy as Vincent or Yuffie in the character design/color dept. But no Barret is outright shocking.

There was a guy that did a custom Barret and Cid... even Safer Sephiroth who I would trade a kidney for.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Wow thats insane! i wish they did more obscure characters like safer Sephiroth, kinda like they did with the monsters collection or whatever it was called. They would have been good had they been bigger

Barret is the first member you meet!
