Like what I said in this post >>11168158, I will only make a new thread when a Bring Arts FF7 figure gets released or announced, I think SE heard me/read it and made all the Turks lol, idk if I will collect them as well, might need to sell some old figures that is in storage to afford themPrevious Thread:>>11057426https://archived.moe/toy/thread/11057426
Jesus Christ just take all my money already.
>>11170609Wow, the FFVII Bring Arts line must be selling well for them to feel confident enough to release all of these. I wonder if they'll make Scarlet.

More pics on SE's JP online storehttps://store.jp.square-enix.com/item_list.html?siborikomi_clear=1&x=0&y=0&keyword=bring+artsEach figure cost 13,200 Yen like all of the Bring Arts previous FFVII figuresI really don't know if I will get the Turks too as they are too expensive
>>11170645Fuck you square, seriously. I wouldve been happier if they didnt give him that stupid arms behind the back accessory. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK?!
>>11170609God, I can't wait for 7slop to be over. Literally any other entry please.
>>11170648These have to be a smaller run, right? No way Square's banking on these selling the same numbers as the main characters while at the same pricepoint and even MORE barebones for the most part.
Each of the Bring Arts Turks release dates are already posted here >>11170631>>11170624From what I can tell from always checking online stores, the FFVII Bring Arts line is always out of stock especially in our country, except for the reissued figures like Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Sephiroth, Barret who doesn't have a reissue and already out of stock in most stores is guaranteed to increase in price in the future, Tifa already reached 34,000 yen on her first release but it has subsided due to her reissue which is coming out on the 28th of this month, the FFXVI Bring Arts line in our country is still plenty in stock however but they have already released 7 figures from the series, Clive, Jill, Torgal, Cidolfus, Benedikta, Barnabas, Hugo, only waiting from the announced list are Joshua and Ifrit
>>11170667It's gonna be low pre-orders due to price and less popular characters, and then one year after release they'll be 200+ on the aftermarket because they barely made any. Kingdom Hearts Terra is the biggest piece of shit import figure I have ever owned and he sells for 250. Obscene.
>>11170663Yeah...I want 7 Remake Bring Arts already.
>>11170609Why are these motherfuckers doing a whole range and then charging $100+ PER figure? Even if this was the ONLY line I collected, I’d still have to be insane to buy all of these. That is to say, I want these so bad T_T
>>11170663Next up, Final Fantasy VIII, they'll be going back to two packs and they'll be 33k a set.
>>11170681Buy two of each from a site where you can pay upfront, so they'll be more like 70-80 bucks each, and then sell the spare domestic for 120. Easy money
>>11170624>>I wonder if they'll make Scarlet.There is this official art made for the og years ago so only time will tell, Zack didn't even have a full head to toe character artwork from the og and SE made a Bring Arts of him, granted Zack prints money so its a given>>11170667Idk about that, maybe they gauge on how many they make during initial months of preorders? I can see Reno and Rufus selling well, not sure about the others though
>>11170684What kind of website would these cost $70 on, hypothetically speaking?
Holy shit let's fucking go. Just ordered a 2nd cloud.
>>11170702On JP stores like Amiami, Hobbysearch and HLJ, its way cheaper importing than buying on US online stores like in BBTS or SE's NA storeBtw, Sephiroth is $80 ish something on Amaxon atm, seller is from Amazon JP
>>11170716where did you get that tiny ff7 thingy in the middle?
>>11170716I swear Cloud was $125 when I preordered him on HLJ 3 years ago, but that’s good to know.
>>11170720Its the FFVII Acrylic logo gacha so random blind boxhttps://criticalhit.com.au/product/final-fantasy-vii-series-logo-acrylic-stand-collection-blind/It has lots of designs from the FFVII series like EC, AC, Last Order, CC even the G-Bike, I just choose the og logo design for my Bring Arts FFVII og looks
I'm so fucking happy bros
Just checked before going to bed and yep, Bring Arts Sephiroth is still up(5 stocks left) from Amazon(seller is Amazon JP) for $81.56https://www.amazon.com/Square-Enix-Final-Fantasy-Sephiros-playstation-5/dp/B0CJHX745B/ref=sr_1_8?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.aTK2WqIDrXg_e0skpzasZ6DyRsU4gUm5AifDA1fSJdEl9J5EpKD4-zcENeL5GmlZA0zs8mGNUn2tkcRi_h5CaolrjcB3zAA15nHvKEdaX4b73yghegcK-A5UwWRK5-P-z2dv4si_qWfPK0XYG1HL_6juBYx6tBEx9TWgF6mqhQtMNgK6J23fehxUISPyLf705fHNmIgS4avhI_swWoffanmeAsKYwn_Isznl409HHoQvJ5gsxeqCu907VHT-ISBJYkCtaVjxMfctArlLbLsFtj7FJOjaixQlSwOYRf1vy64.UazHQezRy_PidEvqNaVunP2V3TLaOuyVZA124ZYNpBA&dib_tag=se&keywords=bring+arts&qid=1727283856&sr=8-8

>>11170702Yen to USD exchange rate is weighted heavily in our favor, so when the 13.2k item goes up for pre-order discounted at 11.8k, the exchange rate brings us to around 70ish but it can fluctuate. I think the most I've paid for a BA is about 85 when the exchange rate was more shit.
Aw fuck, going for another cour.
>>11058063 MARK MY WORDS I WAS LITERALLY NEVER WRONG IN MY WHOLE LIFE
>>11170640>>11170645>>11170648Needs more guns
where can i buy the old dissidia squall pak
>Was gonna have FF7 party on one side, FF9 on the other>Now I gotta squeeze the Turk squad between themFukou da
>>11170794Little armory ones are fairly compatible with bring arts and you don't even need to look for the right skin tone since those will all come with gun hands with exception of elena it seems but for her you can just take the figma hands
Can't sleep, thinking on how I can justify/afford the Turks>>11170795Your best bet is probably the secondary market as its been long discontinued, try Ebay, Facebook groups, Mandarake, Anime Jungle, Mercari and 4chan toy bst, be aware though that Dissidia PAK Squall has been bootlegged>>11170794>>11170807I tried the "I am a healer but.." meme with Aerith using Little Armory hands and while the Bring Arts hand pegs are too small for the LA hands(didn't bother replacing the BA hand joints with figma hand joints) you can stuff it with something inbetween like a small plastic sheet just to thicken it up for a snug fit, here is the failed photo of my trial, need to buy some lights for toy ohotography
>>11170807>Little armoryStill wish they released some gloves in white.
>>11170640>PAKsWhy is this still a thing?
>>11170829just paint them white lol
>>11170609For all of people's qualms with the line, it's honestly pretty impressive they'd go this far.
>>11170840That'll crack when jamming weapons in tho
ooooooh I'm so fucking hyped now. That means we get regular soldiers too maybe and then big doods like the scorpion and maybe even summons if it continues to sell
>>11170609Where are the Modern FF7 Bring Arts?
>>11171011In another timeline.
>>11170868Tbh at this point with the Turks being shown, anything is possible, I was kinda expecting an FFVII Bring Arts Chocobo first though>>11171011>>11170680>>11170838Kinda curious on why SE is not capitalizing on the just released Rebirth game and tie in new merch like Bring Arts or PAKs, we only got a sort of new PAK Cloud and Aerith with new faces and only Elena is the the brand new figure, there is the Adorable Arts but Idk if the line will continue past the 4 most popular FFVII characters
Also found this on twitter who modded Bring Arts Aerith
Idk where his/her page is though
So I cannot post the link, I will post it here when I do find it
Makes her able to ride a motorcycle which isn't possible with her default setup due to her skirt
Welp, ordered them all.
>>11170609>keep putting off buying halloween town sora even though he's cheap>decide I want one this Halloween >18000 yen>finally take Elly from Xenogears out of box (I bought her a few years ago)>I hamhand her arm off>look up her price and its over 10000yen>weltall is 15000 to 20000Late tax on this line is crazy holy shit
>>11171690Also the two pack freya from ff9 isn70000 yen on mandarake right now. Vivi and Steiner is 50000 so now Im afraid Im gunna fucking hamhand them if I open them lolI have no one but myself to blame
>>11170609YOUNG HEARTS BE FREE TONIIIIIIGHT
>>11171598>Idk if the line will continue past the 4 most popular FFVII charactersNuFF7 still has plenty of characters that would make cool figures, like Genesis and Weiss. I’m not sure how popular those guys are, but if literally who characters like Roche and Elena can get one then I’m sure they’ll get one too when Part 3 comes out.
>>11171011>>11171598>Kinda curious on why SE is not capitalizing on the just released Rebirth game and tie in new merch like Bring Arts or PAKsFor the bring arts, they're waiting to squeeze everything out of the "Old Style" FF7 figures, then you'll see the new versions come out. Putting out "New Style" figures right now would cannibalize sales from the Old style ones.
>>11171748I meant past "5" most popular FFVII characters(Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Zack and Sephiroth), it was a typo, also I was pertaining to the Adorable Arts line, I can see Yuffie and Vincent being released for that line as both are popular too as well as I can see their character designs would be easy to translate to super deform/chibified as thats what the product line is for, a Nendoroid for SE IPs, they have been trying for years to get into that market with different super deformed lines but nothing "clicked" yet for the collectors/fans
>>11171786Jokes on SE, I grew up with the OG designs so if I need to choose between it and the Remake designs, I would always go for the former, had they released the Remake designs then released the OG designs later, I would have bought the Remake designs first and be in big trouble, already happened with me with the AC Play Arts(non Kai) years ago, had to "double dip" when they released the Play Arts(non Kai) game versions
Link for the picshttps://x.com/sqex_md_goods/status/1839198625186066559?s=61I would post more when I find more pics on twitter
>>11171803I wish bring arts all used insert pegs instead of clamps.. Doesn't help that BA stands are oversized for most of them too.
>>11171813Tbh, I don't like holes on my figures, thats the reason I don't use stands for my figmoes, Bring Arts stand is decent but size in only good for regular sized figures, Barret for example is too big for the stand as seen here >>11170716I might buy an action base and replace the Bring Arts stands, I'll get the Action base with mirror sticker which was just released to make the stands fancier as well as "upskirt view" for the figureshttps://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Hobby-Accessory-Stickers-Spirits/dp/B0CYG4DC1L
>>11171880I have to, because retarded neighbors kids whose running shakes everything near those walls.In a move so all my BA are boxed rn, but I ordered some nendoroid more stands for my FF9 ones a while ago, figuring they'd work better.They also come with pinch claws instead of the full circle one that's waaay to big for most of them.
>>11171900Though Quina will probably stay stuck on the original stand with those foot holders, because weak-ass hips.
>>11171901Mine stands just fine without a stand. You just have to find her neutral placement. All ff9 have fairly. Decent balance but I see why quina might give you trouble
What are the chances we'll ever get 8 and 10 bring arts? Or anything form the SNES era?+
>>11171933Pretty high I'd say. We'll have to wait for the 7 stuff to be over though.
>>111719338 and 10 are probably the most likely choices for them after they finish 7. The earlier games have no consistent art styles to copy easily and most of the casts are simply not popular enough that they would go all out on them like they did with 9 and 7. Sure Cecil and Terra will sell, but FuSoYa? Gao? Butz? Doubtful.
>>11170675I don't know what planet you guys are living on. FFVII is one of the few games where the villains are just as popular as the heroes. Tseng might be the one exception since he barely appears in the game at all and then fucking dies like a bitch.
>>11171953I'd take Butz and his angels over most of the others desu.
Yeah, if SE does tackle a new Bring Arts FF series, my guess will be from 8 onwards as PS1 era and above had character artworks where they could use as a base/reference for the figure, VI and below has Amano style art work while its good to look at, it might not translate well to a poseable figureSo far for FF Bring Arts, they have only tackled PS1 era and above, FFVII, Tactics, XI, XIV and XVI, would be nice to see how they will do VI and below series, will it be Amano style or sprite based?Tifa Bring Arts Reissue is out btw, will post pics if there is any difference, probs the misassembled "cuffs" are correct from the get go as 1st release version doesn't have much problems like Cloud has
>>11171990Probably right but there is enough to go off of for a lot of them. Or use character art from shit like Dissidia.Cecil has always been one of my favorites, his dark knight form especially
Just got the bring arts Cloud reissue the other day and i'm pretty happy with it. There's a couple of things that annoy me though, the wrist joints are very tiny and weak the hand holding the sword just falls off sometimes because the sword is too heavy for it.
>>11172105thats new. Guess I just swap mine with the old clouds hands. You can also just swap out with any figma joint if it bothers you too much but you might have to dye them to look good
>>11172107It's not too bad, it only falls off at certain angles. Is it easy to swap them for figma joints?
>>11172117OP is a bit too paranoid to do it but they fit pretty much perfectly and are slightly tighter overall. If you want to swap in guns or whatever or use whole arms everything works.
I got payment request for 2nd cloud and tifa btw. Really hyped to see how good the new ones legs are. It was a pretty solid figure overall after the fix. Gonna use the 2nd one for schizo poses or something. Also gonna print this and maybe even do a whole 1/12 ractor diorama.
>>11171606she looks so happy
>>11170609oh wow I'm surprised they went as far as making rufus and the whole turks
>>11172225Soon
>>11172242>best boy>best girl>and Biggs
Thinking about it now, I was wondering on why Zack's release date was so far away and there are months where there was no released figure scheduled, turns out they probs withheld announcing the Turks first, announced Zack first and put his release date at the end of the Bring Arts FFVII series release timeline(unless they release more?), now collectors and fans gets fomo while waiting for Zack when most of the Turks are released>>11172126Yeah, not brave enough yet to try joint switching, is it possible though to replace all Bring Arts joints with figmo joints for a Bring Arts figure? Like replacing the shoulder joint, head/neck joint, hips, feet joint, etc?
Just when I said I am doubting the Adorable Arts line, here we are with Yuffie and Red XIII, I swear, someone from SE is probably reading 4chan(probs just a coincidence though), I guessed Yuffie can be a candidate but Nanaki is a good candidate too to be chibified
Just shown so no release date yet I can find
https://x.com/bpkaine/status/1839545302837297179?s=61
Left 1st release, right reissueDon't see much difference, probs just lighting making the 2 different in colorhttps://x.com/kunisanff923/status/1837975323079856634?s=61
Forgot picTheir Tifa reissues only shipped so if he/she posts a comparison if he/she already has Tifa 1st release then I will post it here
>>11173145I have the 2nd reissue aswell, the differences Ive noticed are:-They added shading to the skin-the right arm is protruding out more than the first release and is also more prone to popping out easier than the first release-darker torso color -obviously they fix the legs-buster sword is slightly darker-the peg socket in the neck is off centred
>>11173332>the right arm is protruding out more than the first release and is also more prone to popping outI also have the reissue and don't have this problem
>>11173475its how they designed it, they made the socket less deep compared to the first so thats why the right arm sticks out more. The popping out issues isnt bad as the legs on the first issue but if u add any shock oil to the right arm then u'll notice the problem. I had to clean off the shock oil and it doesnt pop out now but its still so tight that if i try to rotate it counter clockwise, i can feel the peg stressing but rotating it clockwise seems fine.
>>11172147Where's her sexy eyeball nipple? it's just not the same without her right tit giving you the stare-down.
I wish messing with whateverarts didn't feel like a never ending tussle with a figure that just does not want to be touched or played with
>>11173951I wish they didn't cancel the TWEWY line. I'm using fucking acrylic standees from Ali to fill the group.
Batholomew out[blog] I did play Xenogears during my childhood, enjoyed disc 1 but when I was about to load disc 2, found out it is defective, too late to return as its been so long since we bought it, good thing my cousin has a copy so I borrowed it, was let down on how disc 2 turns out with just narrating almost everything about the story[/blog]https://x.com/ayumi_towano/status/1839860203367584141?s=61I kinda wish Tifa or Sephiroth had alt hair especially the latter, Tifa is kinda manageable for posing but Sephiroth really needs it due to how long it is, speaking of hair, thought his hair was just white from pics online but after having him, his hair is pearlescent, well atleast its not transparent and glittering Oh btw PSA for doing this mod>>11171600Due to how thin Aerith's panty is, be aware that it can tore offhttps://x.com/driver_270/status/1799605247821680751?s=61Elly from Xenogears is also susceptible to this, those 2 are the only ones I know, Tifa's panty is thicker so it ok to pose it to your hearts content
More pics of Adorable Arts Yuffie and Nanakihttps://x.com/sqex_md_goods/status/1839820101580927076?s=61
>>11174164they've been doing a lot of xenogears. Maybe a remake is in the works
>>11174350If they do remake it, I do hope they make the disc 2 story playable and not just a narration, it was such letdown back thenFound someone who posted Bring Arts Tifa reissue, and I was right, only big change is the "cuffs" is now assembled correctly, Idk if color seemed darker or its just lighting, pretty content with my 1st release Cloud, Tifa and Aerith with "exclusive" NFTs which I need to redeem soon before next year else it expires lol
Forgot the pics

Hi. I'm a longtime collector but new to the Bring Art line. Are you guys actually happy with the price for these?I bought FFVII Cloud (first release) and instantly regretted it. Limited articulation and barely any accessories for 100 bucks. Are Square Enix they serious? How the hell are they pricing these?
>>11174566>Are you guys actually happy with the price for these?Absolutely not.>>11174566>How the hell are they pricing these?Because they're the master license holder and we really can't expect anyone else, because they're very protective with it. I'm surprised enough they allowed others to do Nier.
>>11174498man you are in for an ayylmao with the nft
>>11174566I'm not a poorfag so I don't care. As for articulation they are pretty much on par with current one peace luffy and nami so I can't complain about that if shf doesn't do better themselves
>>11170631>>11170640>>11170645>>11170648>the only thing that matters to them is FF7. There's literally nothing else from the 16 core games and various spin-offs they can make that would be coolFucking hell. FF7 is the most over-milked gae in history.
>>11174566The Final Fantasy fan base is such zealots that they'd pay any price no matter how stupid it is. And since their modern games are either under-performers or outright flops, living off of the classics as well as the merch to said classics is pretty much what keeps them afloat now.
>>11174566they're severely overpriced and we all know it, they won't let anyone else make toys of their licenses though
>>11174617I'm not a poorfag, but collecting other lines really gives you perspective on just how badly Square is fleecing its fanbase. For example, a comparable figure in Bandai SHF line would be $50-60 tops.
>>11174655It's also worth pointing out that Square is still way behind the curve on action figure engineering. I mean, just looking at this image without context >>11174524, you could be forgiven in thinking these were bootleg SHFs from a decade ago.
>>11174655Thats just dishonest when bandai regulary puts shit out more expensive with brutal QC issues. You are just a brandfag nothing else.>>11174674Dude literally same articulation as just released nami and romance dawn luffy. Whats the point of this?
>>11174655How much did guts and heat of passion cost? How did they turn out? Getting tired of you shills.
>>11174678Bandai QC is questionable too, and they are rightly taken to task when shit out a lazy release. But at least the accessories spread is usually better. Figma also does a better job at around the same price point SE is asking.
>>11174688Then don't buy it? Whats the point of crying for SHF out of nowhere when they do the same shit, have huge qc issues and literally the same engineering like a week ago? All you do is goal post at this point.
>>11174688Besides turks quite literally SHF engineered even got that scate boarder suit tech. You are actually just a shill because it doesn't say SHF or bandai on it. If it did you'd defend it with your life lol. Pathetic
>>11174691No one's crying for anything. But pointing out obvious price gouging is a valid critique irrespective of the line.
>>11174703Is it expensive? Yes. Does it do anything worse than shf? Not really. Besides what do I give a fuck if it costs 60 or 70 in the end. Get a job. Also cute how fast you dropped the engineering bit the moment I pointed out how recent shfs aren't much differen't. You are here to shitpost and nothing else. As usual you drones come to shit up other lines. No wonder everybody hates you fags.
>>11174713Lol bad engineering is bad engineering. No one's taking sides here but you. For 60 or 70 bucks? Hell yes we should expect better.
>>11174722so you are saying shf engineering is behind the curve? Agree completely. Looking how 2b turned out is proof enough for me. No need to cope further. Don't like it? Just don't buy it. No need to shit up the thread pretending that somehow shf, which released exact same engineered toys, is somehow better.
>>11174726All I'm saying is square can do better if they want to, and they have. In fact, some of my favorite figures are from square earlier on. These recent figures are definitely not up to par in relation to modern standards for their pricepoint.
>These recent figures are definitely not up to par in relation to modern standards for their pricepoint.Uh yeah shf figure are certainly .... uhm ... up to modern standards. Especially like all the miscolored chests and broken toy mmmmh yam yam yam certainly worth the money
>>11175023>tfw my guts didn't come with a scateboard for his broken legsso much for extras
kek ofcourse berserkschizo was the shillshfaggots try not to shill their shit retarded toys in some other thread challenge: impossible but somehow anybody calling these faggots out on it is brandwarring ayylmao
I'm not that guy but I agree. If you don't want to compare shf then don't bring it up. Calling anybody brandwarfag just because he critized the line IN RETURN which you were comparing it too is just pathetic and proves the shitposters point. SHF barely makes better toys and has just as attrocious price gouging as bring arts or any other line. Since you are samefagging it's pretty obvious that you are the actual brandwarfag here since all you do is derail threads and get banned like in the other thread which you went from bring arts to nendos to fucking figma. You are mentally ill and don't care about toys.
>>11175027also this is horrible
>>11175100>just as attrocious price gouging as bring artsno.Pretty sure berserkschizo hates shf hence the retardation of his posts.Shf would make some really good figures but the downside would be they'd only make a few and the upside of bringarts is they treat ff7 as their dragonball, so we're going to go deep in the line but it'll be subpar figures.
>>11175100Don't bother. It's an actual shill that is in every single bring arts thread. Everything bad. SHF good. Everyone who doesn't agree is his personal boogeyman.
>>11175140Anon...there is no guarantee shf will make a good toy. Look at fucking 2b. Look at nami and luffy that just came out like the other anon said. They are basically the same. It's nothing but brand fanboyism and it's not the first time people derail the thread about it here or in any other thread. SHFschizos just shit up threads. They don't even own the toys they shill. It's all mental illness. Kamen rider figures are just as expensive. Rarely come with more stuff than your avarage bring arts but I don't see anybody cry about it here. Stop being such an obvious faggot. Please. Anyway enough (you)'s to schizos for today. Just fuck off back to your contaimnet thread.
Did anyone bought him? I'm kinda intersted in general but when I look at him the arms make me think of a corpse.
>>11175140>they treat ff7 as their dragonball, so we're going to go deep in the line but it'll be subpar figures.This. Bring Arts best figures aren't even from FF7, but it's the most heavily promoted part of their catalog and leaves an unfair impression on the rest of the line.
>>11170650>noooo why are you letting the character do his pose from the artwork
>>11175549we get a bring arts probablt but I've been looking into paks recently and will probably buy some once I sell all my shfs
>>11175796A new low for bring arts: they lack so much posability they can't even reach behind their back. Incredible work, squeenixCome the fuck on, at MOST it should just be the hands
>>11175915weak bait it's just looks like vegetas crossed arms
>>11175796>>11175916If you're figure can do a basic arms behind his back pose, then what the fuck are we doing here? Why dont we just give cloud an alternate right arm so he can do his iconic pose?
>>11176423you tried
>>11176424you too.
>>11176411heat of passion armor got extra pair of legs for this exact reason. They should listen to you and give basic guts one since he can't hold even his sword lol
>>11175023and an extra pair of legs would probably also be a good idea
Cloud and Tifa arrived and they are sooooooooooooo good holy fuck. No issues whatsoever. No popping out. I think the new cloud has actual shading applied to him but I'm not sure since I don't have my old one with me right now. Either way it was absolutely worth it getting a second one afterall. I though I'd regret it at first but this one feels just perfect. Tifa looks and feels great too. I think I have never been more pleased with a toy before.
>>11175723Which do you think are the best? I only have Cloud from FF7 so far and I feel like he's some of the best the line has to offer. The Kingdom Hearts Cloud I'd say is probably the best among I own but FF7 Cloud is solid. I've got most of the KH stuff and some other FF stuff and Nier shit, haven't touched DQ or the other older Square properties at all.
>>11177675>I only have Cloud from FF7 so farWhich one? There's like 200 versions of Cloud.
>>11177669Nice, they both look great together, you didn't have 1st release Tifa?>>11177675You have Bring Arts Cloud? There are lots of poseable Cloud figures so its hard to guess which one you are talking about>11176411The figure can do the basic arms behind his back pose as seen on the pics I found in twitter above, I didn't quote it as 4chan thinks my post is spam so just scroll upThe alt hands is probs just to make posing the figure in that specific pose look much better without the obvious joints and to give the figure an accessory since they could not think of anything to give him>>11175549Maybe check a review online as well as on Youtube, check mfc as well and see if they say anything good or bad about the figure>11174566>Are you guys actually happy with the price for these?No, definitely overpriced for what the figure offersIf it weren't for looking good and capturing the 90's og artwork then I probs would give it a pass
>>11179000nah I missed her. I got everything preordered except barret. I'm not sure whether he gets a rerelease this october or not as in whether I should wait for him to appear on amiami or something or just get him later this month in the sqenix store
>>11179509Atleast you have Tifa now, she is bound to increase in price, her first release reached ¥35k+ before her reissue was announced, Aerith and Sephiroth got reissue announcements near their release date, Sephiorth even have a reissue announcement before his first release came out so its safe to say Barret might not get a reissue, he is still available if you look hard enough for retail so get him if you like him, he along with Tifa are the best in the line so far
>>11179548yeah the sqenix store says he comes out this month so If in 2 weeks he isn't on amiami or something I'll just pay the goytax on the sqenix store
Forgot linkhttps://x.com/xufe9fdu8oyo2jd/status/1841069405951967674?s=61
Gonna bump this while its still up so Aerith reissue can be documented in this thread too
Tamashii Effect Water fits better desu but Tamashii Flame blue version works too
Womder where the owner got that poseable dolphin?

Already saw this video months ago but forgot to post it3d print of Bring Arts FFVII weapons, 3d files in the description of the linkhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S5ly8QOv49w&pp=ygURYnJpbmcgYXJ0cyB3ZWFwb24%3DIf SE doesn't make a weapon pack then I will commission someone to 3d print and paint it for me
>>11183054I was about to sperg because>cult3dbut they are for once free to download. Will print them and paint them when I get home ...in a few weeks. Since this guy figured out all proportions to fit the characters I can print all other clouds swords from statues now too.
>>11183084that being said good lord this guys has NO IDEA whatsoever how to paint anything but still very thankfull for his effort
holy shit this guy lmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_fnU5nATSA
After having my bring arts cloud for a week (I never had the first release) my biggest problem is definitely the sword being too heavy for the hand, also wish they also included at least one of his other swords.
>>11184131He holds it just fine. If you want more taxing poses just get one of those static figma pegs for posing hat don't move at all. They come with 2 guns and gun hands usually. Also a resin printer is less than 100 bucks these days and perfect for accessories that don't need much detail like swords and furniture. If you want more detailed things the best one just costs only like 400 bucks atm.
>>11184131The FF9 ones really were peak accessory.Sure they were expensive, but even if you add two FF7 ones together, the FF9 sets are still cheaper with more accessories!
>>11184255Also entire fucking heads instead of just the faces Square's now finally doing.
>>11184258actually prefer the heads
>>11184277Initially I was under the impression they were the reason Bring Arts were so expensive.Until they released the FFVII ones.It's just greed.
>>11170716I don't know about the others, but I've found BBTS to be better than Amiami for these cause the cost of import shipping and Ami's fees add up to $30-40 usually and the figures don't release close enough together to bundle them with a monthly shipment to save money whereas BBTS was $4 shipping for two bring arts saved in my pile of loot as long as possible which is 3 months.Basically whatever you'd save on the proper yen conversion is just being paid in shipping fees
>>11184299eh I'm just happy we get nice looking figgies. I can just mold the heads and make custom once and print the weapons. It's still better than aftermarket. Tifa was like 200 bucks l m a o so I'm glad they made a reissue so fast.....if only ff9 would too. Also while we are on topic. My ff9 box had a missing dagger piece and I STILL got a replacment for it last week from sqenix. So they are either actually making new ones or they got some stashed away somewhere
>>11184305>and I STILL got a replacment for it last week from sqenixHonestly surprised.
>>11184131My Cloud is first release with the infamous NFTs and he holds it fine but I don't pose him often though but what >>11184207 said, can use static figmoe joints like pic in circle>My obitsu effect#4 now has a use after years of storage as Cloud's blade beam effect>>11184255>>11184299If that rumored FF9 Remake does materialize, SE might reissue it, but to be fair, figure prizes are now more expensive compared to when the FF9 released, but SE knows FFVII sells especially the og look which they rarely release merch nowadays so they know they can getaway with itSpeaking of weapons for Being ArtsSaw this pic and the Ultima Weapon came from the old Kotobukiya Ultima Weapon Monster Collection from FFVIII, sword needs girth though, I imagine Cloud's Ultima Weapon is wider
Oh this is the pic I was supposed to upload with the static figmoe joints
>>11184305Wow, talk about good customer service, I heard mostly bad things about their customer service so I am surprised you got a replacement for the daggers, its just the daggers and not a whole figure, right? From what I see on Twitter, they replace the whole figure but thats for JP customer support, I assume you are in the US/Global and not in JP. First time they reissued a Bring Arts, Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Sephiroth so it helps others who missed them to have another chance and avoid after market pricehttps://x.com/sqex_md_goods/status/1842036922484719716?s=61The team looks really good when they are complete
>>11184382it was zidanes belt dagger it was missing the thingy at the hilt. I didn't even notice it at first but I posted pictures here and it was missing already I think so it all worked out in the end. They send only the dagger since thats what was missing. It was also surprising to find out that you could even romve the belt dagger. Pretty good figure ngl.>>11184362wow thats a good ultima sword. I was thinking about doing it exactly like that with semi transluscent blade. Are these yours? Can you tell how you did it and post more pictures if they are?
I just got an email saying that tseng and elena release date got changed but it says the same months? Maybe the day changed?
>>11184457The ring on the hilt?Had to double-check mine again... Whew.Already had a scare when people mentioned their SHF Guts missing the belt dagger or ring on the sword.
>>11184471yeah kek that one. You don't notice it at all at first if it's missing. Lucky that I did.
>>11184457No not mine, I found the pic on Facebook, the sword came from a very old Kotobukiya Ultima Weapon figure from FFVIII, while it looks decent, I prefer the sword to be more wider as thats how I remember it in game, personally, I would wait if SE will release a weapon pack/set for the FFVII Bring Arts line as they have done it before with the Bring Arts Nier line or just commission someone to print and paint it for me
>>11184474Yeah, I've now become insanely paranoid about finding out months/years later that these tiny details are missing.>>11184486The FF7 line would do good with any kind of "expansion pack". Weapons, faces, MATERIA.
>>11184131Not familiar with PAK/Bring arts. What's the likelihood that they'll do a weapons pack? Need ultima weapon, nail bat and hardedge.
>>11185217Very, very rare. So far we've only had bring arts weapon pack for 2B and.. I guess the kingdom hearts shadow 2-pack counts, sorta?And Cloud's bike now, I guess.
>>11185225There will be almost 100% weapon packs. They gonna milk ff7 dry and when they are done they will do it all over again with ff7r
>>11175549Serious question: why are gooks so obsessed with crossdressing?
>>11185462Same reason as americans.
Saw JP shops tweeting their Reissue Aerith arrived so if I see a reissue pic, I'll post it here, I think the only problem the first issue has is the loose faceplate, can fix it easy by thickening the peg with something like the protective plastic sheet the figure came with
Link https://x.com/zexion0613/status/1842600464422182939?s=61
Looking at the pic, it seemed Rude's glasses will be see thru/transparent so it may be possible to see his eyesI just noticed Reno Bring Arts is in permanent slouch position, I know its "in character" but I would have preferred if they included a torso not slouching so not to limit posing
>>11185462It really was just supposed to be a silly joke in the original. The remake made it some drag queen type shit.
>"Don't talk to me or my son ever again"
Square give me auron and rikku please.
>>11187295Curious, won't SHF Itachi's robe/cloak stains figures? FFX Bring Arts isn't impossible as SE can base off the figure from the old concept art works like in this site https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_X_concept_art
Found more pics of the Turks and Rufus Bring Arts

>>11186768tifa is cute! CUTE!!such a shame square doesnt license out there characters so other companys can make figures of them. I would love to have more tifa figures from figma, figuarts, bishoujo, etc.
>>11188091good
>>11188091Yeah, it would be nice if other figure companies can try and make one but SE wants a monopoly of their IPs
>>11188515>SE wants a monopoly of their IPsBased>>11188091Fuck off
Still haven't seen someone posting Aerith reissue
Linkhttps://x.com/chadvision/status/1842791542890934376?s=61
>>11188023Thats what it says in the box, but so far my itachi doesnt have any red stains on the figure and i had him in the robe for a month now. But who knows it might later on.
>>11188515yet the only character i can think of everybody has a license to make is 2B. thank god the chinese sell plenty of unlicensed tifa figures. shit they even do a better job then play arts themselves.
>>11188534In anycase, better line up the robe just to be sure, having red'ish/ pinkish bleeding on the figure isn't a good sight to see>>11188934Nier got an anime and figure manufacturers used the anime look to make Nendos, SHF, figma, buzzmod, etc.3rd party isn't my cup of tea, I prefer licensed/official products, Also most 3rd party FF products I see are statues and 1/6 scale figures and I don't collect those. The 1/12 scale 3rd party figures I saw weren't up to my liking so I am glad we have the Bring Arts FFVII line in OG look to boot which I prefer over their Remake designshttps://x.com/l2077276/status/1843296266945700129?s=61
https://x.com/ukanicoponpon/status/1843841516097417338?s=61Owner said loose faceplate is fixed
Also not sure, but her bolero/jacket seems to have thicker panel lines? I don't remember mine having that or maybe I just didn't noticed it that muchIn any case, I prefer no panel lines or just very thin as for gunpla, panel lines are there to simulate dirt stuck in the crevices of the robot, very thin panel line is used for highlighting details which I prefer

>>11193182Oh so Red was delayed and Yuffie too?
>>11193182>Joshuawhat the fuck?
>>11193448oh it's the xenogears dude I thought alphinaud had a different name in some translation
Maybe it's a blessing that they're shoving all this FFVII stuff down our throat now. Having to spend over $100 for VIII figures right now wouldn't be fiscally responsible for me. honestly Squall, Rinoa, and Seifer are my must haves. Ultimecia would be awesome, but she'd probably be closer to $150.
>>11193494don't care still buying
>>11193448>>11193452Joshua is from XVI, Clive's brother, it just so happens that he and Alphinaud from. XIV both have the same release date for now unless one of them gets delayed>>11193217Red was delayed first, he was supposed to be released last month along with Tifa and Aerith reissues(where both reissue girls got delayed themselves) then Yuffie now is also delayed, seems safe to say when its FFVII Bring Arts, expect it to be delayed near release date and get a new release date>"Don't ever talk to me or my son ever again"https://x.com/manetrix2000/status/1844836877318172950?s=61
Can someone explain why Bring Arts Ventus is so expensive? Are all Bring Arts figures going to reach this price point eventually?
>>111961071. Because Square-Enix can charge bullshit prices, and the Final Fantasy fan base is so die-hard that they'll gladly keep paying high prices for new versions of FF7 over and over again. 2. Because Square Enix needs the money thanks to their "modern audience" games selling like shit.
>>11196107>Can someone explain why Bring Arts Ventus is so expensive?Because Kingdom Hearts and aftermarket's gonna aftermarket. But your pic is pure insanity.His last sold listing on Mandarake was 28k yen/~€170.>>11196107>Are all Bring Arts figures going to reach this price point eventually?Probably? It's all supply/demand and they already charge premium prices. But it also depends on where you buy/are, because some distributors go insane to get rid of stock.I got late into DQ and was surprised to get what I now own all on sale in Europe, same for KH. Some on insane discounts, like €10 for a Toughie earlier this year, 40 ea for limited ver. KH Cloud & Sephiroth and ~70 iirc for limited ver. Veronica/Serena last year, while the aftermarket was already mad (Those Erik and co prices man..).Biggest surprise remains seeing Quina/Eiko for €40 in Denmark 2~3 years ago. It's that I already owned them from PO.
>>11196305>(Those Erik and co prices man..)Since they're open to doing reissues now starting with FF7, it'd be nice they did the same for some older releases.But they probably threw away the molds or something after the first run with their v2-mindset back then.
>>11197121This is the company that threw away the the source code to ff7
>>11196227this isn't sqenix prices though you shitposting brainlet. Keep seething though.
Apologies for not posting these past few days, somehow, my IP got banned, anyways found this close up pic took by someone in twitter

>>11197253Wasn't that for FFVIII? I think there were rumors years ago that the reason FFVIII didn't get a remaster/rerelease was because they lost the source code, we eventually did get FFVIII Remaster with updated models so they probably found itI feel sorry for the owner, he/she can probably replace the joints with figma joints, reqding more, since he/she is complaining of falling face plate, the one he/she has is first release Aerithhttps://x.com/cataerith/status/1845907562505343436?s=61https://x.com/hotabiim7/status/1845645096496353381?s=61
>>11170609>>11170631I still find it hilarious that in a world of high fantasy and si fi technology, the world's richest man carries a 12 gauge double barrel.
>>11198091They lost the gold archive discs for it. The gold archive disc is the master disc for long-term preserving of games. And I don't think they found it, and has to essentially use a PC rip of the game (a copy) to build an updated version from.
>>11198102It's diselpunk. It's not even that high fantasy...
Just ordered Barret from sqenix store. I know he'll get a reissue but at least I can sleep at night knowing I got all shit ordered and won't miss out in case he doesn't...oh well. Found this little guy on twitter. Probably gonna get the minis as well if it's really the same head. Also Since I'm home I checked both clouds and the new one really does have sliiiiiiiiiightly more shading but nothing too different to warrant another purchase. That being said I do kinda regret buying a 2nd one afterall since in retrospect the first release is not that bad at all and with the sanded leg swivels he moves just as good as the new one but oh well. I'll put my first cloud on the daytona and the 2nd with all the other figures.
>>11198512ah nevermind>Thank you!It's a custom Nendoroid doll(obitsu11+Nendoroid faceplate+3D hair)Nendoroidchads I kneel
>>11198429Ok but it's still funny how of all the weapons he could carry he choses a coach gun.
>>11198363I just did a quick google search and all I see are claiming lost source codes for FF8, nothing for FF7>>11198512Tbh, I don't think anyone outside the 5 most popular FFVII characters(Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Sephiroth and Zack) will get reissues, don't quote me on that though as that might change but I feel SE knows Barret is the least popular as much as I hate to say it so if they did plan to reissue him, they should have announced it by now like what they did with reissues of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Sephiroth, if you want Nendoroid FFVII, I see JP collectors buy the Adorable Arts just for the heads and put it in Nendoroid doll bodies with custom clothing and it worksReview of Reissue Aerith Bring Arts, reviewer missed preordering her the first timefiguren-toy.com/2024/10/15/ファイナルファンタジーvii%e3%80%80bring-arts%e3%80%80エアリス・ゲイ/
PSAJust to remind anyone about her panties can tear off if you let her sit or pose her feet too roughly>>11174164>Elly from Xenogears is also susceptible to this, those 2 are the only ones I know, Tifa's panty is thicker so it ok to pose it to your hearts content
