Final thread I make since this will be the last FFVII Bring Arts SE will release >inb4 they announce something in TGSIt's been one heck of a ride for 2-3 years since Bring Arts Cloud was announced, the anticipation, the ups and downs, it was a joy to share it all with you guys, I will now pass the baton of making a new thread to anons who feel the need to make oneAgain, it was a pleasure and I will go back to lurking once more after this thread expiresHobbysearch for some reason doesn't have a box pic of Hardedge Cloud, got this from YellowSubmarine's twitter postThey could have released a Cloud with smiling face riding a Chocobo similar to the og 90's art to atleast even the set to 20

>>11560015The debut choices for the Play Arts Shin line are so weird. Cloud/Vincent and Zidane being here makes sense since their games are getting remakes, but why are Lightning and Noctis included unless their games are getting something soon too? Also, don't you think Clive should be in this lineup just for the honor of being from the latest mainline game?
>>11560257Nomura kino is the reason
>>11560257Maybe just some ports or light remasters on the horizon for those?
>>11560257Noctis and Lightning are quite still popular as seen in this recent pollhttps://ranking.net/rankings/best-ff-characters1st Cloud2nd Yuna3rd Tifa4th Zack5th Sephiroth6th Tidus7th Vivi8th Zidane9th Squall10th Lightning11th Aerith12th Tina/Terra13th Auron14th Noctis15th Emet-Selch16th Yuffie17th Vincent18th Celes19th Reno20th LagunaIdk why Clive didn't crack the top 20 though or anyone from his series
>>11560010Remake Bring Arts when goddammit
>>11560740With Cloud Rebirth being released in SE's new Play Arts SHIN line next, I don't think FFVII Remake Bring Arts are coming anytime soon.Well, lets see at the upcoming TGS on what SE will release for the Bring Arts line in the future

If you don't want to keep making the thread, then let's rename the general to SQUARE ENIX GENERAL or something. This way, we can talk about the SHFs and upcoming figmas too. Also, it's kind of funny, but I was lamenting recently how I let these FF9 figures slip for dirt cheap because they were incomplete, and then I decided to check eBay randomly right after, and there they were for a reasonable price. Brand new and even came in these cases. These are just amazing. I love them so much.Also thank you for making these threads so far. Literally the only reason I come to /toy/
>>11560773These two-packs were so perfect. The pairings just felt so right
Need to take more pics but having 9S and 2B 2.0 for a few days my thoughts are solidifying on them more.The good:>Generally very good sculpts, lots of detail without being overly busy>Paint is mostly good, massive improvement over the 1.0 2B>Loads of accessories with 2B especially>Articulation on the whole good>Heads are great, again vastly better than the 1.0>The fact 2B can store her entire arsenal on the stand is fucking awesomeThe bad:>Some tolerances are a bit off; 2B's hips are a touch loose and I think her Pod has some stuck joints>Knees and elbows have great range but are a bit janky sculptwise; if double joints were off the table I would unironically have preferred Figma-style joints with the slightly protruding joint over the nasty gaps you get when they bend>Some slightly wonky paint in places, albeit mostly confined to minor things like the 2B arm that comes with 9S>Stands are nightmarish to put together due to how tight they areThe neutral but noteworthy:>The height threw me off at first but looking at the game and their official statistics, it's actually pretty close to correct for 1/12. Not perfect but certainly "good enough" territory.Overall I'd say they were well worth the purchase. I'd get them for cheap if you can, but they're not a total disaster like the original release.
>>11560773>let's rename the general to SQUARE ENIX GENERALI don't mind, desu, I'm not the authority on calling the shots, thread creator is free to name it on what ever he/she likes, I just named it "Bring Arts/Play Arts Shin & Kai/Adorable Arts General" as those are SE's poseable figure lines atm and we can't post statues in /toy (eg. Static Arts, Masterpiece Line, etc)Those case seemed very durable and looks like its custom made?How do you open it to let the figure out or you don't have plans to take them out?> Also thank you for making these threads so far. Literally the only reason I come to /toy/Nice hauls btw and you are welcome! its great to interact/talk to with other collectors/fans who are also enthusiastic about the poseable figures from Final Fantasy series. It was a joy chatting and seeing other peoples hauls and how they also pose their toys>>11561136Do post the 2!I kinda agree on you on your post especially the knees, I don't quite like how the knees are engineered(also preferred the figma's take) but at least its not the PAK peanut knees they used years agoStill no Cloud Hardedge pics but his release date is today in JP so maybe later or tomorrow, someone will post pics of their copy
