Square Enix Play Arts Kai Gets New Licenses

[Mazukou]

According to hidemi cid and barret are next.. well get them most likely when they release red XIII... cloud tifa and sepiroth are the 3rd ones planned to be released.. hopefully we get caith sith along with red XIII

 

[krec9]

Odd they made Rufus wonder if they plan on making the Turks.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Reno and Rude are a must.

Reno and Rude are a must.

it wouldn't make sense without them.

 

[Mazukou]

I'd also like to have a tseng hahaha! I dunno why but hes my favorite among them maybe if they decide to do reeve thats where they'll include caith sith (tho i hopefully wish they dont go to that direction)

 

[Snake Plissken]

I just hope Cloud comes with the individual fusion swords and the combined sword. I also hope he's got the sword bag so you can put all of them in it.

 

[Science Friction]

Yeah, I wonder how they're going to handle Cloud this time. I don't think SQEX has ever done option part sets like Bandai does, so they would have to be pack ins. It would be pretty pricey if they made a bunch of different swords for him. I'm sure they'll do something though, seeing as Cloud & Sephiroth are in the same volume and they know a lot of people are going to be getting just those two to display as a pair.

 

[Mazukou]

Cloud and fenrrir in PAK treatment please!

 

[Science Friction]

I wonder if they would do Fenrir again. Probably, lol. I would rather Fenrir be sold separately, I can't imagine how expensive that would be at current SQEX prices. Though it would be pretty neat looking. I would rather see a fourth volume than Fenrir though. Zack, Aerith, Reno, and Rude would be pretty awesome in PAK.

 

[c2close]

That fenrir then would be much more bigger than the previous one. I only got the harvey daytona with cloud still looks good though.

Yeah i love hardy daytona.. dont have the fenrir tho so this is a great chance ifever they decide to make a pak version

 

[Science Friction]

I used to think I would prefer new "original" FFVII figures over Advent Children, but I'm really loving the new AC PAK figures. The Hardy Daytona is great, but a PAK Fenrir would be awesome.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I have all the original Play Arts FF figures and while both sets are great, the game versions are slightly better

The Daytona and the Fenrir are both great for different reasons but for the PA releases, the Daytona gets the edge purely on how they look together

If they release the Fenrir again i hope they make the front openable to put the swords in, otherwise i don't really see the necessity in making another version. When this was first released the retail was only £50, that's less than a standard PAK figure nowadays

I also hope they do something about the arms as the PA ones were garbage

 

[Frank Jaeger]

They've teased a PAK Daytona already??

[Mazukou]

No not yet.. we were just discussing the possibilities

 

[Science Friction]

No no. I was just saying, I used to think I would rather see SQEX make new versions of the original FFVII game designs. However, after seeing how the AC PAK figures are turning out I've changed my mind. Then I was just saying how nice the old Daytona is and that it would be interesting to see a new Fenrir. Sorry.

I've been considering getting the Dissedia Cloud for awhile, just to have a semi-game accurate version, and I think the face sculpt is superb.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

No need to be sorry man

I for one am glad they are re-visiting Final Fantasy with The Kai line. The Play Arts line were very accurate they just had terrible joints and limbs

I suppose you cant complain at £20 a pop! those were the days....

Saying that both the Fenrir and Daytona were very solid collectibles

Just give me the full VII game cast and i'm good. I hope they don't miss characters out this time around

 

[Science Friction]

Well, if they only do three volumes we're getting pretty much the main cast. I guess it depends on how important Aerith is to you, and Cait Sith. They're important to me, but if PAK FFVII:AC ends after volume 3 it will still be pretty good. That would be, according to SQEX, Vincent, Yuffie, Rufus, Red XIII, Barrett, Cid, Cloud, Tifa, and Sephiroth.

I would really love to see them go back and do the game versions again though, that would be spectacular. At this point I'm just hoping we get more FFX figures than two, and also some more VIII and IX.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Yeah i'm happy with the cast given so far for AC. I don't mind if it finishes there, although saying that if they aren't i'd like them to do a Aeris and Zack just so theres a complete cast for one version or another

It's the game versions i hope they re-visit. I wonder if they will go back and do more of the older games, I too hope they release more than 3 figures for 8,9 & 10

 

[Science Friction]

I would love to see them make a new Zack and Aerith. I think there's a good chance a fourth volume of FFVII:AC will happen.

As long as the FF Variant line does well I think we'll continue to see older characters. While Warrior of Light looks fantastic, I'm much more excited about Kain. Bahamut looks insane as well. I hope they make Cecil. I would be down for a crazy armor version of Cloud too. Throw in some FF Tactis figures too and I would be beyond happy.
