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
Link btw is https://www.instagram.com/cwatcustoms/Can't download the full res pics so just visit the the link above for more pics
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

Still no Cloud Hardedge version pics posted atleast didn't find one atm with the keywords I am using but I did find this Zack pic review finally done

>>11561458I unpacked them the next day. I'm just too tired to pose them due to work. Look how cute her tail is! Also on more recent releases. Zack is really great. He feels really nice and heavy.
>>11562810With all the FFVII figures they've done, I wonder if they would tap into CC and do Genesis and Angeal.
>>11563129Is her tail bendy like Red XIII?Also post pics of ZackSpeaking of Zack, here is a few reviews of himhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlZNaHGGknU&pp=ygUMImJyaW5nIGFydHMi0gcJCckJAYcqIYzvhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA96r0zlUy8&pp=ygUMImJyaW5nIGFydHMihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8UnwOGcQ_I&pp=ygUMImJyaW5nIGFydHMi>>11563263I feel the ship has sailed for the FFVII line, the perfect time to release Crisis Core figures was when CC remaster was released 2 years ago but hey, we can never tell what SE is planning so I might be wrong and they do release them, although I might not get them as my defacto FFVII figures are these OG style Bring Arts>Can't post pics as I am incognito
Having trouble with getting captcha due to cloudflare not loading up properlyAnyways, still haven't seen Hardedge version oob pics so I will post Bring Arts pics for the time being
Just like what happened in Rebirth if you get Tifa as your date with high affection
Images are from here:https://www.instagram.com/ogff7figurescenes/
How is Clive (and Total)? Or really all of the XVI bring arts, I ended up really liking them and FFXVI
>>11565463Didn't see much complaints about the 2 so its probs safe to get them although I think they are already soldout in most online stores but I still see them being sold in FB marketplace and Mercarri
Thought this was Hardedge version but turns out its a 3d print of the sword, maybe nobody bought one? lol
>>11565470Cool thanks, he's in stock at some local stores just wanted to check
Since I found this photo while browsing Instagram, might as well post this for you before I close my browser to return to incognito>>11565463
>>11565489Didn't notice your reply, anyways, you are welcome and do post pics of them if you end up getting the 2, I think the set is cheaper compared to getting them separately but do double check on that one, not really paying attention much to other Bring Arts series
>>11565471I have it, but it is in Japanese Jail thanks to the temper tantrum tariffs.
>>11566392Are you from US?Yeah, read here in some threads that Japan Post postponed shipments to USA for the time being, kinda sucks but do post him here if the thread is still up when you get him
>>11566408Yeah, Zack was the last thing I got in, like a week before Japan (and like, two dozen other countries) halted shipments to the US...I don't have many Bring Arts, right now just Zack and the FFT trio. I'm hoping that with the FFT remaster coming out soon, we got more Bring Arts from that game.
>>11566411>I'm hoping that with the FFT remaster coming out soon, we got more Bring Arts from that game.I won't probably collect the Tactics Bring Arts even if SE does continue the line because I feel the artwork of the game doesn't translate well into 3d that much but thats just me, still, it would be nice to see more from the series, Alma, Mustadio, Beowulf, Reis, Meliadoul, etc
>>11565505That’s a cool photo
>>11566436>I feel the artwork of the game doesn't translate well into 3d that much but thats just meI think a lot of people thought that, but the figures turned out pretty good to me. If they only did another trio, I would want Orlandu, and Chapter 2/3 Ramza for sure. Maybe Mustadio or Gaffgarion after that.
>>11567382Tbh, I would prefer if they made Ramza into his mercenary/chapter2,3 outfit as thats what he wore during the very first battle players fight, would pair better with Agrias and Delita who are all armored upAnyways, found now someone who bought the Hardedge versionhttps://x.com/tri_chori/status/1967073305401454687?s=61
Idk if Cloud has any difference with the previous versions though, will post here if I find anyhttps://x.com/risingsunultima/status/1967402012615856217?s=61
>>11565463He's fine. Nothing special. Honestly, only recommend if you get a good deal or a discount. Ifrit, on the other hand, is a solid 10/10. If you don't want to pay import tax, you can get him very cheaply on AliExpress. HIGHLY recommended. Torgal is also nice, I guess, but again, just try getting them from either Chinese sellers or wait for Black Friday and hope for a Square Enix store sale.
>>11567427was eyeing ifrit too, but the price put me off, didn't realize you could get him off Ali, Legit or bootleg?Personally I'd want Clive with Ifrit, but thanks for the info.
>>11567441There are sadly no Bring Arts bootlegs besides the Nier ones...I'm rearranging right now since I had visitors and put the figures away for a bit, but they weren't really arranged to begin with. I really want to get a nice glass shelf or two, but I can't find any, and IKEA stopped selling Detolfs.
>>11567450>There are sadly no Bring Arts bootlegs besides the Nier ones...oh okay, well then its more tempting, I have bad experiences with bootlegs personally, I'll check it out> I really want to get a nice glass shelf or two, but I can't find any, and IKEA stopped selling Detolfs.yeah for that you're gonna have to find second hand, one alternative is getting a Billy with glassdoors, one half sized billy would be like a Detolf but its also not the same sadly.
>>11560257They really are doing bare minimum with alt faces aren't they?
Since this will be the last thread I make, while its still up, just wanted to inform anyone that there are bootlegs of Adorable Arts figuresSaw this in JP mercari evenhttps://jp.mercari.com/item/m47147025179Cloud's and Zack's torsos aren't painted right(looks brownish, probs lack paint), shiny hairs, derpy faces and I saw in FB that Aerith's panties aren't painted white so it seemed she went commando lol>>11567606Well, they do have moveable eyes so that alone gives the figure more expression(would like to see an ahegao pic of possible haha)
Box comparisons for the FFVII Bring Arts line, only missing Cloud and Daytona set, Hardedge version should be same size as Cloud's box
Quick setup. Don't have any polygon figures yet and there's still an unglued and unpainted 3d printed jenova statue on my workbench. I really need to get a big billy I guess. I checked it out and they are pretty cool, since you can just add actual glass doors to it.
>>11569221>>11569223Very nice setup! I like the added popsicle Elena has on her handsDo post your 3d Jenova when there is a chance, would love to see it
>>11560010I'm thinking about getting an original Venom but I wonder about the quality, is it sturdy? Also when it comes to KOs, is there a way to tell them apart besides the red triangle in the box, some KOs also have it.
Check this reviewhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOEjPp87XucIts a comparison vid of an authentic vs bootleg Venom, its fairly an old release so I'll let the other old fags chime in on what they can say about it, personally, only had SFIV PAKs Ryu and Chun-Li, my Chun's Shoulder(right!?) broke off when I was freeing it opup as it was stuck, thankfully I was able to have it replaced from the store where I bought it but it soured me from the line so I never collected any PAKs after the 2
>>11570084Thank you for the information
>>11570771You're welcome, happy to help!
Hardedge version reviewhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ODPnn2Ets5c&pp=ygUMImJyaW5nIGFydHMi
Kingdom hearts collection so far. Trying to get all fir cheap. Mostly buy them only of there's a good deal. Gonna do a Nier shelf next year.
FFXVI Best looking shelf so far imo. FF7 one is so bloated I'll need to seperate turks from main cast for sure once the shelf arrives. I really hope we get more summons.
A garuda in this style would be insane...
>>11572202so true oomfie
>>11572202sneed
>>11569829>>11570084Not sure if it counts but I found thesehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0nR6mS5GR2Mhttps://note.com/yuusukeblog/n/n57184a11a1f4
>>11572190Bahamut looks so much like a hybrid between his FF8 and FF9 versions.
Adorable Arts Lightninghttps://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MFF130718.htmlPrice: 7,480 yenRelease Date: April 25, 2026Idk but it seems she does not include any additional face plates? Kinda stingy for SE if that is the case
Forgot the Image lol>>11572947
>>11572949how do you get your info always so fast and the release dates for the op?
oh they just shadowdropped her
>>11573170I browse Twitter often and followed SE's page so anything new they post pops up most of the time in my feed, Its TGS so it was guaranteed SE would show new merchandise there as its one of the few events they always attend to showcase their games with a few figures(they don't attend wonfes, sdcc, etc most of the time)
Forgot to answer>the release dates for the opI check Square-Enix's JP online store and they update it almost always, includimg the release dates of their merchandisehttps://store.jp.square-enix.com/>I use their search bar and use JP keywords like "ブリングアーツ" for Bring Arts, "アドラブルアーツ" for Adorable Arts, Play Arts 真, etc
Seems nobody bought Hardedge version except the most die hard and rich fans, can't blame them as 1 figure is pretty expensive already and it adds up fast when you buy 2 or morehttps://x.com/BLACK_ALICE1031/status/1971461693600563430
>>11574315Always seemed like nonsense it wasnt just included with the 1st figure or if not then with the bike. It’s not like these come with many accessories to begin with
>>11574831Yeah, SE really skimped on the accessories for the main casts' Bring Arts figures, Rufus, the Turks and Zack on the other hand have plenty of hands compared to lets say Tifa who only have 3
Since this thread is now on autosage, I will post pics I find fancy while this is still up, again, I apologies if I was biased with the FFVII series when making these threads but like what I said before, I only came back to figure collecting from years of hiatus due to these OG 90's style Bring Arts so it was a priority for me, I leave the making of new threads to other anons, NYCC is coming soon so maybe we might get something newhttps://x.com/i_eat_quarters/status/1972846159262814443?s=61
>>11578069Forgot pic lolJust to reiterate, it was a blast talking with other fellow fans/collectors, waiting/speculating on when/who they will release next, seeing others' collections, etc.This made me happy as it reminded me on old /toy before
>>11578072Kinda sad, these threads were some of the more comfy ones here. Hope you at least come around if other people make the threads.While I do like FFVII lot, I just couldn't get all of the at the price. Will be a different story if they end up going deeper into FFT, or if they ever get around to Chrono Trigger. Probably FFVI too.
Tifa mythril claw variant announced
>>11578982Square you fucking pieces of shits. I was hoping the new CEO would be less greedy than his predecessor, but I guess not.
>>11578982
>>11578982>And here I thought I was done making new threadsThe ride never ends lol, Idk if I want to get her but the alt face sure is really tempting me, they probably learned from Hardedge version that just re-releasing Cloud with a "new hat" isn't enough nowadays so for Tifa's "new hat" version, they added a new face, they could have went with Premium Hearts and I would have preorder day 1, now I have to think about itAnyways, there is a new Static Arts Aerith swimsuit from Rebirth(no pics as its a statue) and this model kit
Structured Arts Cloud
8,800 JPYJanuary 2026
I do wonder if atleast the alt faces will have tampoed eyes?I kinda remembered seeing the Xenogears Structured Arts's runners just being cast in 1 color and not much color separation so maybe thats hy this is cheap?Kinda wished the Bring Arts Cloud have alt faces too
>>11578269Don't worry, SE made me stay in for a bit longer hahaChrono Trigger Bring Arts or a continuation of the FFT line(playing the remaster atm) would be nice to happen
Wonder if SE will release a v2 of Bring Arts Cloud?Seeing the model kit being posed like this makes me want them to do it
>>11564314>Is her tail bendyNo.>>11572189>Mostly buy them only of there's a good dealSame. I got all the SHF ones, and then 2 Sora versions, Kairi and Namine as far as bring arts ago. Oh, and that Shadow 2 pack.Technically the two FF7 ones as well, but they're not officially labeled as KH for some reason, even though it are their designs.>>11574315And yet they're still doing it, now with Tifa Mithril Claw ver...If they keep doing this, they better release a weapon pack at the end.
>he thought the ride was overlooking forward to another round of threads OP
>>11579097I think it’s just cheap because they expect it’ll sell a lot, they have made a few kits more recently with color separation. Looks like everything may be molded in color except the silver detailing. Can’t say I’m interested since we already got the full roster in figure form and this looks almost identical in sculpt but maybe it will let them do things they don’t think will sell as figures like the summons or monsters?
>>11579097>>11579663Ehh... They waaaayyyy overpriced their mecha model kits and I feel the same for this Cloud kit.Should be max 30, not 50+ bucks.
New thread>>11579707>>11579492I preferred if they went with the weapon/accessory pack instead but SE know this makes them more money, they added a new face plate as additional bait as just re-releasing the same figure with a new weapon probs didn't work that much, hate to say it but its kinda working on me lol>>11579529Haha, yeah, my "retirement" got postponed for a few months>>11579663Yeah, same boat as you, I'm pretty happy with the fully painted Bring Arts, I can build a kit but sanding it, fusing parts, removing seams, painting, the works, I'm not that confident I can make a kit look like its professionally made
