Square Enix Play Arts Kai Gets New Licenses

[Frank Jaeger]

PAK need to start mixing some multi media into there figures especially for the price, Cloth cape and **** would look far better on some pieces

 

[Snake Plissken]

Considering the scale keeps going up, cloth should be on every one of them... but the price will go up due to that...

Idk, the black wrap around his waist looks like cloth. It doesn't flow like they usually sculpt it.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

you might actually be right, the colour it too deep a black to be painted too

It's definitely cloth. Seems to have some wiring at the edges too, for posing and the like:

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Shouldn't he have one for his arm too

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah I noticed that, I assume they'll keep in with the VS. Sephiroth look.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

It looks better without the arm one anyway

 

[Snake Plissken]

I still can't believe no Red XIII yet, that bastard was shown painted last year.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I know, we got another company that likes to show proto figures and then do nothing about them for years

What about fran too, she was shown as an unpainted proto and a painted proto

 

[Chrono]

I get Cloud and Sephiroth, and I'm good. I like only a few FF characters that are worth buying. Still, I'll always be in love with Ashe. Too bad her Play Arts figure is too damn small.

they really just need to make them a consistent 1/6.

 

[Snake Plissken]

they really just need to make them a consistent 1/6.

I wish they would, they've been slowly dragging their feet to get there.

 

[Bardoon]

proportions actually look good, not mega shiny, gritty paint either!

What's up with those eyes though, and he's wearing some Assassins Creed Gauntlets

Might be the first PlayArts Kai to have reasonable proportions!!!

 

[Snake Plissken]

Vincent and Cloud look like the best PAK has ever done.

Well after opening AO Batman, I finally got my hands on Deathstroke and Rorschach and I must say WOW.
Rorschach is a pretty a great release, with all the accessories you could possibly hope for the character. My only nit is that his upper chest joint is designed weirdly, but if the only complaint you can have is having an extra joint that doesn't overtly detract from the wholelook, then that's pretty much a win in my eyes. As for Deathstroke, I know folks often have problems with PAKs but I'm actually willing to say that Deathstroke turned out perfectly, so much so that this is possibly one of the best PAK out right now.

Can't help but feel that PAKs really shine if they're based on masked characters and if it wasn't obvious before, well then Slade and Rorschach are a testament to that. I'll probably post some photos sooner or later, I'd definitely like to see more PAK offerings turn out like these two (both of which are nicely proportioned too with Rorschach being appropriately short).

These are about the only pictures I've seen so far.

Looks good to bad the final product will be like Cloud came out of a tanning salon.

 

[Chrono]

I hope they really dont zombie-wash his face. Its awesome the way I see it.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yuffie came out frigging orange, so I wouldn't doubt this would be the same.

 

[Chrono]

Tetsuya's Catwoman. I kinda dig it. Will go great with the Batman. Definitely out of this world, crazy, gritty and cool designs. Will probably get all the Tetsuya Batman stuff.
