Same. The "side skirts" also look weird and greatly impede the movement of the legs. It's straining just to pull of poses that baaaarely resemble the in-game ones. But I'm still getting it. I'm getting two of it. Hell, I'll get ten if that means they eventually release more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, they want $300+ for this thing? That's Hot Toys pricing, but nearly guaranteed to be nowhere even near Hot Toys quality. They really are pricing themselves out for most folks aren't they? Every time I see a Play Arts that doesn't look completely awful, I see the price then remember why I don't bother with Play Arts any more.

To be honest, I'm not going to be surprised if it's going to cost around that. How much PAK figure cost nowadays? Y13000-15000? PAK Shiva was Y19000-20000 when it got announced and that was like 8 years ago. So it's not a big surprise now if they're going to ask Y30000 for the Fenrir. I don't mind as long that the First Tsuurugi sword mounting rails are not parts-swapping. My price-asking-days are over after I paid for my Premium Finish SDF-1.

I did reach out on one of the modellers before and the price is more than the figure itself. I know it’s nice to have one but with the price I rather get another collectible.

JetJockey Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I decided to wait and see what Prime 1 Studio does with Final Fantasy statues at the next Wonder Fest before getting Cloud and Fenrir. It looks cool but I'm still not crazy about those joints. Also I watched a review that mentioned something about slight difficultly getting him posed all the way on the bike and looking forward.

JetJockey Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 You know what the coolest thing about Final Fantasy 7 was to me back then? I only played the original Final Fantasy on NES. I don't know why I didn't play the SNES and other games. But when I heard about Final Fantasy 7 on PlayStation, I thought it was a good time to get back into the series. I had only seen a picture of the big tech city. So when I started playing the game, I thought that huge city would be the game's area. I was shocked that you get to leave the city and you have a whole world to explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Arts Weltall-Id Apr 2022 ~$170 https://www.hlj.com/xenogears-bring-arts-weltall-id-enx36046 The Bring Arts Weltall isn't the best figure around, but it's alright and Xenogears is one of my favorite PS1 games, so I preordered Id. I don't remember Weltall growing by that much when Id takes over. Awww no glowy wing effect parts for the six wings. Hoping for the rest of the mecha from game, including Weltall Mk II and Xenogears. Edited October 1, 2021 by Lolicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Weltall is approximately 15.81 meters tall, and Weltall-Id is 18.53 meters. That's roughly the same as the VF-1 and VF-25, or Victory Gundam and RX-78. And obviously floating also adds height. ...and then of course the figures might not necessarily be in scale with each other anyway (though at first blush they seem to be)...

Lolicon Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It's fine if the scale isn't perfect since they're non-scale anyway. Just glad to finally have some Xenogears mecha after 20 years. Grahf's Weltall would be pretty sweet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I have the smaller kits that came out recently and they’re fairly well detailed, but have a lot of seam lines and they definitely require paint to look as good as the one in the above picture standing next to the big red.

Scyla Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Square Enix is releasing a Cloud in the Bring Arts like that looks close to the line art/high resolution model of Final Fantasy 7. I‘m shocked no one else has reported on it and that it is not sold out yet since it is the toy I always wanted. I hope they do the rest of the playable characters (but I doubt it). I would love to have a Tifa/Yuffi/Vincent in that line since those where my main party members: https://www.hlj.com/final-fantasy-vii-bring-arts-cloud-strife-enx36774 One criticism from me is that Cloud doesn’t come with a screaming face.

But this one is the same price as my older larger size version. It’s a bit hard to justify another expensive cloud since I already have the older ones. Prices really have gone up on things, my Cloud with the bike from the advent children movie a while back was just over $100 and that’s quite a lot of toy. The old Vincent was only $40 or less.

Big s Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 So I was about doubling the price on those older figures. The older play arts figures were only about 20 bucks. I thought I was off by saying 40 bucks, but I guess I forgot how inexpensive that line was when they came out. The cloud on the bike was surprisingly cheap and now I’m just floored by how expensive they have become and now a half size figure is about four times the cost of the full size ones. I do still think that new cloud looks a bit better though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wanted a 1/12, 6" FFVII Cloud for my Smash display since he got announced, SE did that Bring Arts Kingdom Hearts Cloud but that just wasn't going to cut it. This thing looks fantastic, it's what I've wanted for quite a while, it's PS1 Cloud no less and not Remake Cloud or Advent Children Cloud, but that price is absurd, more-so considering the insane lack of accessories, so it's a pass for me.

Big s Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I think if it was closer to 60 bucks I’d probably be ok due to inflation on things, but for over a 100 bucks it’s a bit too higher to justify. It’s it like this version transforms or comes with an awesome bike or has every damn sword in his arsenal with effects parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
