Can we try to keep thread for Play Arts Kai/Play Arts Shin/Bring Arts/Structure Arts/FORM-ISM ACT and whatever other stupid lines Square Enix wants to pull out of its ass alive for a while? Also WHY CAN'T THEY JUST KEEP TO ONE LINE???
>>11931569Doesn't seem like there's much new stuff to talk about for now. Play Arts Shin is in a scale hardly anyone collects and is insanely overpriced. Bring Arts is done. Structure Arts are just retreading the FFVII Bring Arts but as slightly larger kits so far. And the terribly named FORM-ISM ACT only has Sora on the horizon and he's not coming out till next year.
>>11931569>Also WHY CAN'T THEY JUST KEEP TO ONE LINE???Because people will gladly buy 100 versions of Cloud, Tifa, and Sephiroth every year. >>11931635>Doesn't seem like there's much new stuff to talk about for now.That's because they don't want anything new. They just want FF7 figures over and over again. Fuck everything else.
>rare sqex thread>poorfag instantly cryingman you are exhausting to be around irl I bet
I don't think they have enough characters people want outside of FFVII to sustain a line.
>>11931780Square's figures are probably the best example of a line that hasn't been worth the asking price in years. But if you think 24-32K JPY is reasonable for a 10 inch plastic figure with barely any accessories suit yourself.
>>11932057Squenix is a "you'll buy it anyway" company. Even if you dont, a single purchase will fund something anyway. Also showing off this menu expressing how greedy they are
WHY IS THE XENOGEARS ALMOST 40000 FUCKING YEN?! YES IM MAD AND POOR
I'm pretty happy GSC got the greenlight to make FF Nendoroids.I hope they go a step beyond and make Figma as well.
>>11932071I'm just trying to remember all the SE Nendoroids off the top of my head. I would be happy if we just got more Nendoroids. Chibi fits FF it makes them look like the overworld map sprites or something.>Warrior of Light >Chocobo >FF14 characters I know nothing about >Dragon Quest 11 Hero >Dai no Daibouken Dai and Popp (No Maam why?!)>Nier Automata and Replicant Trios >Technically Fullmetal Alchemist but I forget who>Legend of Mana protagonists >SE doesn't actually own the Kingdom Hearts OCs but they are too related not to list (No KH1 and KH2 Kairi, Terra, Ventus and Xion though so some trios are messed up)It's so random sometimes.
>>11932036They already did the main cast of FF7 and FF9. I know a lot of people would like to see the same treatment for FF8 and FF10 at least. Even the games that aren't as popular, we could get at least the main protagonist because the Dissidia games have done quite well. There's also a LOT of ground to cover with KH because they haven't even touched the villains yet (aside from the alternate head for Terra)
>>11932036>>11932094I still wish they had done more FFT characters. Even just one more wave, because I really want Orlandu, Chapter 2/3 Ramza, and one other character who could be like, Mustadio or Gaffgarion, or something...
>>11932094I don't think you can sell KH villains at the prices they charge.
>>11932128They can to KH fans because we are ravenous
The current db figures are so bad it actually made think I was too hard on Bring Arts.
Man, all these “opinions” full of half truths and false statements just show how clueless and brand loyal some of you are. If you want other brands to make FF figures, then just buy other brands when they release them, like the Figma 2B or the Nendos. But then you’re still gonna cry about how they’re not made by Bandai and don’t have a 30 buck loss leader Cloud, with everything else being three times the price. This is why I never make this general. I just know that’s all you fags talk about. Nobody posts figures or talks about them. Just waaaah, waaaah, I don’t have money, waaaaah.
>>11931780>poorfag$70+ for each and every figure is bullshit no matter how you try to rationalize it.
>>11932150>If you want other brands to make FF figures, then just buy other brands when they release themOther brands charge even more, like Solar Studios selling this for $800.
>>11932185You know if you already spend so much money on them you could at the very least make more than one picture of them to keep posting
>>11932068samebut i ordered it anyway
>>11932068>>11932200It's bigger than Ifrit
>>11932183The funny thing is the only mention of price before that anon's triggered post was two words about the $200+ line.
>>11932077I would gladly buy some FF14 Figma/SHF.
>>11931569I started collecting the Chrono Trigger line but they're waiting to be shipped and just statues. >>11932094My biggest want is just KH1 Sora, Kairi Riku and Leon (if they're not going to do FF8.) Those are still my all time favourite designs. I stupidly missed out on the only 2 KH1 modern figures with Cloud and Sephiroth. FF8, FFX would be amazing but I wouldn't expect more than Squall and Seifer for 8. And I'd love to see Serge, Kid, Lynx and Harle from Chrono Cross. Maybe pack them with Pip Starky and Poshul too. And fucking Einhander and Racing Lagoon but I might be the only one who would buy those lol.
Parasite Eve figures would be nice too. Threads of Fate and Brave Fenceree Musashi Nendos. Bouncer would be funny.
>>11932275I want an affordable Edea and Chrono Cross stuff, as well as DQ bunny-girl Jade.
>>11931569Anyone else really miss the original Playarts line? They posed pretty well and had lots of SOVL and honestly their Kingdom Hearts line was really solid but unfortunately like the modern lines missing Donald and Goofy as well as any of the villains from the series.P.s. Pleaze ignore the Diamond Select in the background lol.
>>11932356That pete is really good though
>>11932370Yes but the rest of the line is fucking awful. And their releases are so weird, there's like a bunch of different combo packs, every Sora comes with the Kingdom Key instead of coming with a different keyblade or even two keyblades for the drive forms. For some reason there's also two releases of Roxas that come with Oathkeeper or Oblivion instead of one release that comes with both. Besides getting a Donald, Goofy, and Pete there's little reasom to collect it. Maybe just because its the cheapest but honestly their after market prices aren't worth it.
>>11932309Damn I'm jealous.
>>11932356Yeah, those were some of the first imports I bought and I was extremely disappointed with the huge scale increase of Play Arts Kai. I still have my KH Sephiroth.>>11932376The Hercules is pretty good and the Maleficent is all right other than having barely any articulation. Really wished they kept putting out Disney characters. I know there was a Jafar planned that got cancelled. Their actual KH characters were terrible though with a weird uncanny look to them.
>>11932675Yeah, I suppose their Disney characters weren't bad but in a Kingdom Hearts line I expect the Kingdom Hearts characters to look good and the problem is that none of them do. Honestly most of it comes down to the eyes, if they had just printed anime eyes on they would probably look 1000x better. I remember getting them on Christmas and being massively dissapointed because they were worse than the old Halloween Sora Playarts I had years prior that costed the same amount.
>>11932275Man, Bring Arts conditioned me so well that I completely forget about designs from other games. They wouldn't even have to dip into the dreaded villain category and could still sell us 3 more Soras and Rikus from KH1, 2, and DDD.
>>11932356Not really. Aside from my hate for Sora's curved shoe soles, they were more like the only choice back then, and Bring Arts was a better scale. Their classic Tifa is still epic though
>>11932700They started to do chrono trigger statues. I'm pretty sure we get nendos next. There has been no new announcments and the last one has been revealed a few hours ago. So expect something next wonfest or whenever the last ones were announced seeing how gs doesn't drop their full line up at once and some tranny starts larping like thats all the announcments we get from them all year like every year.
I meant to post this earlier. My small SE Nendo collection. I regret not getting every one that exists but oh well.
>>11932675I just remembered this cancelled 90s Disney toys and I wish it came out so I could put them on a shelf with Sora. 90s edge just fits KH2 edge somehow.
>>11932814Someone got their hand on prototypes. Imagine this guy next to the KH1 Cloud design
>>11932814>>11932816Actually these were shit. They were trying to coast off the old Marvel Legends, but forgot to copy the articulation
>>11932060>26 dollars for literally grey curry
>>11932150The other brands for Nier were only plausible because of the opportunity to split the license due to the anime being a separate production from the game. It's not something that will continually manifest just because the Figma/Figuarts sold better than the Bring Arts. Same with multiple brands being able to tackle Kingdom Hearts because Squenix doesn't fully down it. It doesn't really increase our chances of other Squenix stuff getting decent figures just because they sold well.
Bring Arts (?) Thancred
>>11932882
Half of my six Bring Arts have an issue where the have the wrong limb piece on one side. KH Sephiroth's left forearm, Terry's left shoulder sleave and A2's right shin. This seemed like a really common issue at their factory.
>>11932060at first glance the warrior of light cheesecake looks like opa opa from fantasy zone
I've been playing too much spooky video games to make any halloween photos this year.
>>11932887All true, though you just reminded me Kingdom Hearts is getting an anime. I was thinking that might be a loophole like Nier, but then I looked into it and it's an original story featuring a character from one of the mobile games...
>>11933010They didnt need to be anime to make kh figuarts before the line was just ended for some reason
>>11933010I'm scared of the anime. The game's writing is cringe enough, and the "crossover" selling point will be as worthless as House of Mouse
>>11932893For their prices they should be perfect and above the average action figure.
>>11933256All you can really do is be super-careful with removing them from the blister tray. There'd be less breakage if blister trays weren't designed to lock the figures into place, forcing you to have to use some degree of force to pry them out.
>>11932150just an anon passing by that simply clicked on the thread by luck, but thanks to you i learned that there is a chocobo nendo and ordered one through amazon
