Square Enix Play Arts Kai Gets New Licenses

[Frank Jaeger]

The struggle is real

Oh ****, yeah I would need two Clouds then.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I bet Sephiroth will be $100+ plus, just because of who he is. I hope he comes with a black wing.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I have both the play arts Kingdom Hearts Cloud and Sephiroth. I kept all my play arts MIB but i think i remember him having a wing, so it's entirely possible

And easy $100+, Isn't Cloud $120

I couldn't pass something like that up, no matter the price...

I paid £30 for the original Play Arts AC Cloud and bike set many years ago. Honestly prefer that figure to the gravel-faced overly-glossy PAKs of today, but the bike steals the show. Beautifully-made and painted, has rubber tires, working steering and a diecast metal engine and kickstand. Still stands up well today. The only thing it doesn't have is the opening fairings for sword storage.

From what was shown of the new Cloud, he's a work of art so I don't see his face an issue. Although, their Yuffie came out looking very orange.

You'd hope they would at least be able to do their own golden goose justice

Definitely. Vincent is excellent, might be the best they've done of the regular figure line.

Got Tifa and I really like it. Faces are interchangeable between hair pieces. Also the foot has this nice system where the entire sole pivots with the toes. It greatly improves the stability of the figure. Cant wait for Cloud!!

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yet another out of scale figure. She looks alright, but those joints are butt ugly.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

She looks good

No bad paintwork or banana legs, looks like both legs are the same length too

Thanks for sharing the photos! Tifa looks good. Is she in the same scale as the first two FF7AC Play Arts Kai figures (Yuffie and Vincent)? I'm assuming she is but I haven't seen any in-hand photos yet.

Yea whats with play arts kai and there messed up scales? My kingdom hearts figures arent in scale with the newer ones and the new robin I got was like 10 inches when the last one was like 7 or so.

Yup, well at least i think the scale works.

It works but they are not in scale; Tiffa is supposed to be 5' 3", Vincent 6'. If that's how tall Tiffa is compared to Vincent, then Cloud will probably be as tall as Vincent when Cloud's only supposed to be 5' 7". I'll only be getting Cloud and Sephiroth when/if he's released, but it's kind of annoying they are not in scale because I already own Vincent and was planning on getting Rufus .

I think the whole lot would look amazing together regardless of scale issues. I dont think PAK ever told us the scale of their figures right?

thats smart

"Hey we never said it was a particular scale, so screw you"

PAK are not a particular scale but it's frustrating that lines from the same series are not even congruent in height next to each other. I'm still going to purchase the characters I like, but it would be nice of them if they kept the characters' heights in mind when creating new additions to the same series (especially when it's their own licenses).

 

[Chrono]

Yeah. I get what you mean. I just wished they kept making it bigger to be considered sixth scales ahahahha. There are tons of figures that I'd love in 1/6 that they're doing.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I don't think they are out of scale with one another. It's not like HT are actually in scale with who they represent so that's not unusual at all

The out if scaling within the same series is where it's really bad, Ken being way bigger than Ryu for instance

 

[Solidus]

PAK doesn't even use a specific scale, and I think that's where the real problem is. But, yeah, they should definitely keep consistent sizes with characters that belong to the same franchise. It's really noticeable, for example, where GZ Big Boss is much taller than the Peace Walker figures.
