>Final Fantasy VII gets Bring Arts of the entire AVALANCHE crew, Rufus, The Turks, and Sephiroth, all in their original 1997 glory straight out of the official art>Final Fantasy IX gets Bring Arts of the main party and Kuja>Final Fantasy Tactics gets a little less with only 3 characters, Ramza, Delita, and Agrias, but it's still something>Final Fantasy VIII gets NOTHINGI'm not a huge FF8 fan, but it's still be neat if they did Bring Arts for FF8 just so we could have Bring Arts for the entire PS1 era. We're so close.
>>11609571FF8 is the most likely line after 7. It’s not like they were making FF7 bring arts while they were still making ones from 9, the line still seems to be going albeit just lazy rereleases.
>>11609571I AM a huge fan of FF8 and am still pissed that we never got Kiros, Ward, Cid, Fujin, Raijin, and Ultimecia. A new Edea that doesn't cost $800 would be nice, too.
The fact that fft got anything at all is a miracle. I collect SQEX figgies mostly and yeah it's been a alow year with announcments for BA. I do kinda wish they wait with ff8 until their qc and engineering improves though. It's also kinda my favourite
>>11609571With this toyline you should be glad you're not getting your favorites given how atrociously overpriced the figure are. After all this time it still hurts me to think how much I spent on the DQXI cast, because you know Square is ripping you off and you still decide to go along with it due to how much you love the game.I would have bought all the FFVII ones if not for that. But one time is more than enough, I'm not going to be a fool a second time.

>>11610556>With this toyline you should be glad you're not getting your favorites given how atrociously overpriced the figure areWhile I somewhat agree with you, collectors/fans have no other choice but to give in to SE's demands as they have complete monopoly of their IPs, these Bring Arts figures particularly the FFVII line for me, was a dream line for me for decades as these are in 1/12 ish scale and in their 90's classic look(no offense to Remake design and I like them too but nothing beats the OG look for me and they rarely do merch of the classic looks anymore) which I didn't imagine would happen so I had to pay up, I did research quite a bit before delving into the line so I knew what I was getting.Not defending SE but you can't blame others if they dip into the line as nostalgia is sometimes hard to pass>>11609571FF8 has a good chance to be made into Bring Arts as they have some artwork made by Nomura years ago where they can base the figures off from, its only a matter of time on when they would do it>>11609636Tbh, if Bring Arts of FFVIII does happen, I don't see them doing Kiros, Ward, Cid and even Fujin and Raijin but that will depend on how the first releases sells well, they could probably do a 2 pack something like:Squall and RinoaZell and QuistisIrvine and SelphieSeifer and EdeaLaguna and UltimeciaPA SHIN Vincent reviewshttps://www.reddit.com/r/PlayArtsKai/comments/1ojbjc5/play_arts_shin_vincent_valentine/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijB71bED-2M
>>11610556The FFT figures were only about 8000ish yen, and were about $55-$60 with the exchange rate. I thought that was pretty good, though US shops were charging $80-$90 for them, though they also would go on sale for $60-ish. I imagine the lower prices were because they didn't really expect them to sell super well.I had wish we had at least gotten another set of 3 figures. Specifically, Chapter 2/3 Ramza, and Orlandu. Third character could be someone like Alma or Mustadio, or something.
>>11610596I don't mind simpler figures like what we originally got. It would definitely make them cost significantly less than what they produce now.
The only Square owned stuff I think I'd ever actually buy is Chrono Trigger. God help me if there are ever 1/12 Chrono Trigger figures.
>>11611147Outside of FFT, CT is probably the only other series I'd be all in on too. At least CT only had 7 playable characters, so is isn't like they'd go that deep unless they started doing bosses/villains and stuff.
That was a good pickup
I think the girl I bought it from was frustrated with how stuff didn't fit? All I had to do is sand the stand thingies for a moment and that was it. It was good price. Though she did misslabel it as play arts...so maybe it was just unfortunate wrong gift or something.
>>11610729I've been trying to get these for pennies just as a place holder for future bring arts or something. I just pray that chinks will start doing 3p ff figures like they do for dragon ball. There are a few already, but they seem to be pretty meh.
>>11611188there were rumors about a remake so it's not impossible
>>11611301No, the rumors of a remake were nothing more than the remaster, which came out a month ago.
>>11611302oh
Made her a witch hat out of paper since she looks kinda witchy.
>>11611379I wish I bought Sora when I had the chance. He's 200 dollars now.
>>11611407Yeah, it's crazy how expensive some bring arts get.
>>11611278They're not that expensive. Most can be had in the $30 area for MOC examples. The only expensive ones are the two boxed sets (especially the one with Edea), but at around $150 or less that's still not bad for quarter-century-old toys. The most expensive toys from FF8 are the Ragnarok ship (available in colored or clear). It was a "build-a-ship" with a piece coming with each of the Japanese releases of the Guardian Forces, and typically sells north of $1,000 for one now. Then there's Omega and Ultima Weapon, which run for a few hundred each.
Have free time today, so I decided to finally let Bring Arts Cloud sit in his Hardy Daytona, I was skeptical if he could since I have the 1st release and it is infamous for its legs popping out, my copy hasn't popped out yet after almost 2 yrs of owning it but somehow managed to make him ride it and for the first time, my Cloud's right leg popped out but only once and it still stays fine and not loose, felt like an accomplishment lol. Was planning on skipping the bike due to that but found 1 for a very good price around 9,970.38 jpy so I plunged, glad I did as he looks really cool riding it
Kinda wishing SE releases a v2 of Cloud after handling Zack, they can bundle it with a Chocobo with a smiling face like the og art from the 90's and guaranteed it will generate money for SE
I first adjusted Cloud's fit into a sitting position, try to sit him and adjust if necessary
Should have brought out Tifa too so she can sit next to Cloud ala AC Fenrir. Will let Tifa ride it next time
next play arts shin is Fran
>>11615187Apparently, it is priced at 32,000 yen compared to Vincent, Noctis, Lightning, Zidane and Cloud which were priced at 26,400 yen, releases in May, 2026.How come she is priced higher? I don't feel she is popular enough(someone cmiiw) to warrant the price increase, can't post images as I am incognito and no proorder page yet from SE JP online store so here is the MFC link for nowhttps://myfigurecollection.net/item/3114859
>>11615532the price increase is likely because she is not popular, thats usually how these things work, if they think they're gonna sell less the price goes up.
>>11615566Makes me wonder on why the sudden she is getting merch like that Goodsmile statue also when FFXII series doesn't have anything going on like an anniversary or collab of some sortShe is uphttps://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MFF12PA07.htmlPrice: 35,200 jpy(Really glad I don't collect PAK/SHIN)Release Date: May 30th, 2026
I thought everyone liked the delicious brown sexy bunnygirl? I know I do, but I don't think I'm going to drop that much on her.
>>11615673Since FFT remaster was a huge success, it's likely SE has already greenlit another project related to the Ivalice saga. FFT and FFXII are the most well known games in that series, but since FFT already has a lot of merchs, they're shifting focus to XII instead. I kinda wish for a XII-2 but that's wishful thinking, it's probably another remaster.
>200+I know its just SE tax, but are these figures actually worth that. In terms of QC and shit. I want her, but damn.
>>11615673Could question the same for XIII and XV. Think they're just testing out these new lines, might want to save the more popular options for later
>>11616070XIII remaster is around the corner and XV's 10th anniversary is next year. It's not that surprising.
Structured Arts Cloud's runners
It has separate colored runners so probs only minor detailing is only needed
Maybe Gunpla markers like black and silver is enough
No pic of the faces but I remember from shops' description of the model kit that the eyes will be tampoed alreadyPersonally, I am already happy with the Bring Arts, visually they are good and have great shelf presence(all thanks to Nomura's colorful 90's artwork where these figures are based off) that will be hard not noticed by visitor who views your collectionBut this is a nice alternative to those who wants something they can build and customize to their preference, its kinda cheap too compared to the former, I've read somewhere that this model kit was design/made by Kotobukiya but I don't see it on MFC so don't quote me on thatLink:https://hjweb.jp/article/2406766/
>>11610571Tits are too small
>>11616697>>11616700>>11616704>>11616708Does this make the toys cheaper since they're not patying anyone to assemble and paint them? What about the eyes? Those are always the hardest parts for me to paint on figure kits (I fuck up 99% of the time).
>>11616704Tamiya acrylic gunmetal gray for the "body" of the sword, and Tamiya acrylic silver for the bladed edge.
>>11616708>No pic of the faces but I remember from shops' description of the model kit that the eyes will be tampoed alreadyDerp. You already answered my question. I just want more FF8 and FF10 because FF7 has been done to death. I wouldn't mind Lulu, Auron, Kimahri, Ultimecia, Edea, and Laguna/Kiros/Ward in a kit like this.
>>11616839Looks big to me here, personally have him and his body is around 70% breast
>>11616878>him>hisFor real?
>>11616849>Does this make the toys cheaper since they're not patying anyone to assemble and paint them?Probably as assembling and painting will need more man, with model kits, manufacturers just need to make the molds, print them, check runners if there are defects then box them to be shipped, assembling and painting is the most labor intensive in figure making which probably cost most of the price the buyers pays forIn other news, Bring Arts Cloud with Hardy Daytona made it into SE's top selling merch
>>11616887Bandai has spent at least a quarter-century making billions off of Gundam toys sold as kits. As long as eyes are painted to spare me the hardest part of painting a figure, then I'm all for Final Fantasy kit-figures as long as there's a noticably cheaper price.
>>11616885My bad, its late from where I am and english isn't my native tongue so apologies to you and Tifa for addressing her as a him. Have a "cowboy" Tifa as compensation :P>>11616890Not gonna collect the Structure Arts but I am interested on how an out of box build will look like so when its out I will definitely post here what I find when it comes out
>>11616697>>11616700>>11616704>>11616708looks goodI'll be buying one for sure
>>11616704>entire sword is one piece Square is genuinely amateur at everything they do
>>11617125They're nto high-detailed master-grade kits, and they're not supposed to be. They're going for a more cartoon look, which is fine with me. Besides, you can add all the detail in the world if you know how to paint right.
fml ordered zack for 20% off on hobby genki and the next day its 45% off. Well if anyone wants a zack, heres your chance.
>ffxvi form-ism statue double floppedHoly based! My gamble was so worth it after all. When it disappeared for a week I got so sad for missing out. Normally, I don't buy statues, but since I doubt we ever get figures of them as children, I feel like the shelf would have been forever incomplete without it. I also got two of the Structure Arts Xenogears packs that also flopped. I'm still waiting for Hard Edge Cloud to get a discount...
>>11609571It's weird how FF8 doesn't get the love it deserves considering for 2 decades it was like the 5th best selling game of all time in Japan. It outsold FF7.
>>11616697>>11616700>>11616704>>11616708>[Figure Size]: Approximately 16.3cm high, 5.6cm wide, 3.4cm deep when completedHuh, it seems the Structure Arts Cloud is nearly the same size as BA Cloud but half the price. I'll wait and see how this turns out. Hopefully, it's good and replaces BA's overpriced shit.
Hardedge Cloud is finally up on AliExpress if anyone needs him. Some countries can dodge import tax + shipping when ordering there. I got him, Kaine and the last Nier Nendoroid I was missing (short hair A2).Oh, the same listing also sells him on the Daytona and the Daytona separately and get this: YOU CAN EVEN BUY ONLY THE HARDEDGE. I would have done that if I didn't need a fixed Cloud because I sold mine earlier this year to get this one.https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809926099865.htmlThis link seems to work for the EU and US. I didn't look for other regions. It's still expensive, but since it's free shipping and no import fees, it's the cheapest you'll ever get him. Especially if you order the Daytona double pack.
Also don't forget to use the coupons that are up on the front page. Just select your country first to make sure it's the right one.
>>11615886Hopefully we get the Tactics Advance games remastered
>>11622341Hopefully we'll get NEW games that hold up to the classics instead of remasters and remakes. The only thing that came close was Octopath Traveler.
>>11622427Octopath Traveler was the anti-FF. It did literally everything wrong. Retards like you only think it "came close" because you recognized SNES-era pixel graphics and clapped.As usual, most of any given franchise's fandom has no fucking clue what actually makes said franchise good.
I couldn't get into Octopath Traveler either, honestly. I think the closest we actually got was Bravely Default, but I didn't finish that either. Octopath was very half-assed, as in all plots were divided, and I couldn't switch my main character out, so I was stuck with mage nerd forever for no reason. Also, the dual-class system was way too barebones and boring. There just wasn't enough to play around with, in my opinion. I'll give both games another chance once I run out of things to play for sure, though.Tressa is my octofu.
>>11622699>Bravely Default,Even worse than Octopath, imo. It's popular to claim it's "FF5 but with an improved job system and better characters/story" but literally none of that is true. FF5 is a masterclass in simple-yet-robust turn-based, class-customized combat, as well as having one of the most thematically focused plots and well-bonded casts in FF history. Bravely Default fucks it all up royally by adding unnecessary bloat to every aspect, without either the cohesion or direction that makes FF5 such an enduring masterpiece.>but I didn't finish that eitherMany such cases. I tried playing it when it came out and couldn't finish it, then I tried replaying it last year and ended up quitting even sooner. It's a bloated slog with bad combat that's just complex enough to trick people into thinking it's good. The pre-rendered backgrounds are pure sex, though, especially with the 3D effect.Anyway, to keep things on topic, Bring Arts needs to get their shit together and make some FF5 figures. I feel like the cool way to do it would be to make figures of all 5 heroes in their "feelancer" outfits (and include the capes/shoulderpads so they could be mimes, too) then do a variant or two of each character in another job outfit. They could even get dirty and package them in pairs, I don't give a fuck. I'd buy them all, anyway.
>>11615873Does this have rolling eyes?
>>11622967Yes, its one of the new features for the SHIN line, see the black post thingy >>11615673on the right of the figure and the bow? That is used for adjusting the eyes
Put together a little display for my VII figures. Still need to grab Red & Cid, then I think I'm done with the series, as it seems unlikely to find a Barret at this point.
>>11623847Second part of the display, still need to get some prints done for this one and figure out how to fit some risers in there.
>>11623847>>11623849This is cool, anon. It's a clusterfuck, but it's a soulful clusterfuck. And everything is clean and well lit. Consider me jelly.>>11622758>the FF5 schizo has migrated to /toy/kek
>everyone gets to make 2B, 9S, and A2>because Yoko Taro is a little bitch that somehow feels shame for his past work we'll never get Caim and Zero figuresTruly Yoko Taro is the Anno Hideki of Video Games.
There's a barret on aliexpress. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvswyTS
>>11623882Yoko Taro has little say over these licenses, let alone its toy lines. Aim your complaints at SE
>>11623847>>11623849Nice Display!My plan at first was just to get my fave team of Cloud, Tifa and Aerith and be content and done, I kinda knew once these figures sold out that they will skyrocket in price if the FFIX Bring Arts is an indicator. The universe gave me a sign to continue as I saw a Barret for sale loose but complete so it lead me to buy atleast the main team to complete them, I think most collectors will go with this route anyways as while Rufus and the Turks are also important, they are only secondary cast and not playableBut I went the extra mile for Zack as he is also a playable character and to make Aerith happy and the bike >>11613129which I did plan to skip also but found one cheap so I bought it tooSE is releasing "new hat" version of the FFVII Bring Arts line so there is maybe hope for a Barret "reissue", for now, get Nanaki asap as I feel he is next in line to follow BarretSince this thread is now on autosage, anyone is free to make a new thread and like what I did in this thread, will post the updated release dates of figures, I will make a new one like always when a Bring Arts from FFVII gets released or if SE somehow proves me wrong that the Tifa Mythril Claws version isn't the last one and announce a preorder for a new FFVII Bring Arts figure >Bring Arts Chocobo FFVII version with different colors and a bundle with a version 2 of Cloud with improved articulation and a smiling face similar to the old 90's Nomura art
>>11623847>>11623849>>11627353sovlThis guy arrived today. He's very good. I also ordered Nier and Emil. Was on vacation for 2 weeks and couldn't post much. Gonna make a christmas diorama over the next week and post more stuff.
>>11616708Not interested in precolored snapshit. I like model kits but this is just for babies
