How's the QC like on the Tactics Bring Arts? I'm kinda tempted to get 'em...
>>11677882I have not read any major widespread issue with the trio, I think it has typical Bring Arts QC, looks good but dated engineering/articulation, you can backread some anon's comments when they got theirs years agohttps://archive.palanq.win/toy/thread/10046060/#10117053"Just as good overall as Ramza, though she does have a few more issues then I'd prefer. Her shoulders have a much tighter outward hinge then I'd prefer, though this may be just a personal QC issue, but it makes it hard to spread her arms out too far. Her pauldrons are actually on an outward hinge at the top, but also on a swivel attached to the butterfly joint, so they can move and get out of the way of the arm itself. However her elbow is just kinda weird. With Ramza, his bulky elbow is attached to his forearm, which looks fairly natural when his arm is bent. With Agrias, the giant elbow armor is attached to her upper arm, which just looks awful. Also, while her and Ramza have the same double jointed knee set up, Ramza's armor fills out much more of the gap, where as Agrias's knees just look wrong. However both of these issues can be ignored as they grant a great range of motion, and can be hidden by proper posing and placement. Her ankles however are much worse then Ramza's. They're pretty much directly vertical pin joints, so they have almost no rocker to them. Ramza can get some pretty deep leans going, but Agrias needs to remain flat footed."If you are a huge fan of FFT, these will be your only option for an articulated figures from the series as I doubt SE will make another one anytime soon
>>11677734Once again I will try to manifest this.
FF7 Bring Arts obliviously sold amazingly, considering they are doing the new weapon re-releases and made figures of all the Turks. But when we will see another FF game in the line? FF9 and FF7 both had their full main casts already, so I'd like to see FF8 or FFx get the same love next.
>>11678891>when we will see another FF game in the line?Yeah, I would want this too so I can stop spending money on the Bring Arts FFVII line lol. But really, I do want SE to give other neglected series a chance to have merch for a change, when was the last time FFVIII or just Squall had a figure released? Checking MFC while waiting for captcha says there was a Squall Dissidia PAK released a decade ago, atleast FFX just had PAK Yuna and Tidus released last year unlike FFVIII series that is really in need of merchNo oob pics yet of Mythil Claw version so I will continue scouring tomorrowhttps://x.com/edis_rehto_eht/status/2006397041937670261?s=61
Can they still do Street Fighter figures? I recently found out about this while searching for a Sakura figure. It was weird that the Sakura they made does not have a smiling face.It would be nice if they would make a Bring Arts version.
>>11677734Finally put them in the new shelf... I cant justify the Turks. But I really want rufus.
>>11677734wheres my goddamn Remake Bring Arts
>>11678079I loved this game and those in game action figures were great.
>>11679683SE used to do other IPs they don't own years ago under their PAK line(Bleach, Resident Evil, Tekken, Mass Effect, Devil May Cry, Marvel, Metal Gear, etc). For their Bring Arts line, they only did Marvel, the rest are from their IPs, I think their Bring Arts Marvel line flopped so safe to say there won't be 3rd party IPs coming out for that line anytime soon>>11679849I don't think SE will do a Bring Arts line of Remake as they are already heading towards the PA SHIN line I could be wrong and they simultaneously release a Bring Arts Remake line but it doesn't make sense from a business prospective as release 2 articulated similar lines in different scale will only cannibalize their sales>>11679798Awesome display, I may copy yours and get those risers too, nice of you to get 1st release Tifa, the fringe of her bangs really does makes the difference compared to the reissues>>11679856>>11679858Saw this last Saturday night when looking out for oob pics of Mythril Claws version but didn't post it due to the no statue rule of /toySpeaking of Mythril Claws version, finally found someone who took a pic of her oob, granted owner didn't used the new face and the claws itself but atleast we have now a pic of the figure to see if there are difference between the 1st release, the reissue and the Mythril Claws versionhttps://x.com/yamsan_fox/status/2013181841046405619?s=61
Didn't find any pics of Bring Arts Mythril Claws Tifa today so I will continue tomorrow, according to SE's JP store, her release is officially tomorrow which I forgot to update when posting the release dates of upcoming figures above. Hopefully we may get more pics of her soon.Thinking about the Form-Ism Chrono Trigger figures, now that SE is open on revisiting that series, a Bring Arts of Chrono Trigger with normal proportions similar to the anime scenes on PS1 version is not farfetched anymore and may happen anytime soon, unless SE doesn't like money
>>11681985They HATE money though.
>>11681999Nah, they love money like any company is, its just that I feel SE upper management needs to set some things right if they will charge exorbitant money for their products, like better qc for exampleAnyways, didn't find new pics of Bring Arts Tifa Mythrill Claws today but I did findA kinda small introductory review and painting detalis with markers/paint brush for Structure Arts Cloudhttps://hjweb.jp/article/2488328/#Looks nice but personally, I am happy with the Bring Arts line of FFVII and I don't have the skills and time to build/paint a model kit
Someone requested a pic of her using the claws from the owner I posted aboveFrom what difference I notice, She has reissues' bangs, eye decals might be different? but can't say for sure till I see others post theirs as that might be the lighting owner is usinghttps://x.com/yamsan_fox/status/2013971382271635773?s=61
>>11683015>its just that I feel SE upper management needs to set some things rightThey should learn to outsource to better companies
>>11683983Squaresoft, did outsource their IPs years ago to other companies like Bandai(Extra Knight/Soldier) and Kotobukiya(early Play Arts), after the merger with Enix, thats when they became greedy, hoarded their IPs, make their own figures/merch, price it the way they like and monopolize all the profitsSE still outsource their IPs sometimes like for high end statues made by Prime1, model kits from Kotobukiya and upcoming GSC statues of Noctis, Lightning and Fran from GSC, but they rarely do that
>>11680988>3rd party IPs coming out for that line anytime soonShame. I wanted more options and Bring Arts version of Street Fighter and Resident Evil would have been cool specially the latter.
>>11683989I don't expect much figure-wise, but if a statue is made of my wife and outsourced to GSC, I will empty my wallet for it.
Structure Arts Sephiroth
This should probs be the straight builtNeed to paint the rivets on his straps, belt buckle and the sword
>>11684796Forgot pic>hate the star/spikes captcha
Looks pretty similar to the Bring Arts version, only thing I like with this model kit is the hair is straightMay 30, 20268,800 JPYApproximately W82mm x D64mm x H165mmhttps://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MFF709161.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=estorelink&utm_campaign=goods
>dedicated, company-owned toyline specifically for churning out figures from SquareEnix properties>still no FFV>still no DQIIIt's like they don't even care about the power of friendship.
>>11684802it’s insane for the prices of bring arts he didnt come with a head with straight hair
>>11685357Watch straight-hair Sephiroth be the alt weapon version.Their plamo is still stupidly priced.
>>11678079I wish...
>>11685323They know they've got a cash cow with FFVII, so why make anything else when they can sell those over and over with a new hat while charging 2x what they should retail?
>>11685850Kind of surprised they didn't start with Barret, considering he's the only one who is sold out everywhere.
>>11686345you know why.....FREE MY NIGGA BARRET!
>>11685357>>11685740Yeah, Bring Arts Sephiroth badly needs a straight hair the most, I know its being a straight copy from Nomura's 90's artwork but as an action figure, it kinda limits his poses, SE can release a straight hair version of him via the final battle scene in the game aka shirtless Sephiroth, can do a two pack with a version 2 of Cloud if they really want the moolah>>11686345Unfortunately, as much as I like Barret, sadly he isn't that popular, SE knows this as he is lagging in popularity polls, even non main characters from FFVII like Jessie and Cissnei are more popular than him, so they only made figures of him based on how many preorders they got plus a handful to be sold in stores, now that every stock of him is gone and late comers/collectors changing their mind and collecting the whole gang is gonna be a problem, SE can reissue him via a "new hat" scenario but I doubt itThinking about the full gang of figures SE has released, I feel if Bandai or GSC did get the license on the FF series, I don't think they will release the whole team anyways as when was the last time they did release a complete team with more than 9 characters? Can argue with DB line but Bandai did milk it with repaints, reissues, v2 and now v3 which I feel they can't do with the FF IP
>>11687706I think P5 was the last line they kinda went all-in on?We're never going back to Haruhi/Lucky Star/Nanoha/Monogatari etc. completions.
>>11687954>Nanoha>Cries in Zafira
>>11687954>HaruhiThey missed Kyon's sister but Bandai did a poseable figure of her in their Composite ver Ka in an exo suit of sort but the main figure is wearing a bunny suit >idk what happened to its MFC page as I remember it having one years ago but searching for it now yields nothing>Lucky StarThey made you buy the summer versions of the main 4 so you can buy the heads of the other 4, so if you want all of them matching one season of school uniform, you will need to double dip on either another winter or summer set(Summer Miyuki has Minami head but the latter is flat chested so you will need to buy another body for it just to be canon)
>>11688022>ver.Ka Kyon's sisterI slapped her head on Kid Haruhi
>>11688025Yeah, I think thats what I see most collectors/fans do so they could display Kyon's sister along with the figma Haruhi without looking out of place
>>1168770616 section is set up with pure soul. Moogle brings it all together.
Finally found another picture of Bring Arts Tifa Mythril Claws versionhttps://x.com/hotabiim7/status/2016498904192401869?s=61Owner said he/she already bought even the reissue but can't resist getting the new version, 1st version on the left(still the best for me as her bangs is the closest to the prototype/promo pics)
https://x.com/yamsan_fox/status/2016438491845144876?s=61
Might as well bump this before it reaches the autosage, link above btw has more than 1 pic, due to the annoying captcha(the one with stars and spikes), its kinda hard to post here more even if I want to
Structure Arts CloudMade by a pro modeller(NAOKI) according to this tweethttps://x.com/squareenix_jp/status/2017116292051026360?s=61Says his release is 2/14? But given with the last SE products, I am guessing other stores will get it at release date and SE store will get it at the 14h next monthhttps://youtu.be/OX7_TBCCckI
The chances of figma, shf or revoltech making FF figs have risen.
