Definitely not worth the listed price. I was hesitant to preorder it but now I'm thankful I didn't. The more Square releases action figures, the more I wish SH or Goodsmile were in charge of making the figures :(.. Great review btw.
Agreed my friend. I really don't know what happened to Square Enix. BringArts was their chance to redeem themselves after the quality decline in Play Arts Kai years ago. Sadly BringArts just seems to continue the bad trend of releasing overpriced figures. A shame really. But yeah, just gonna focus on Figma and SH Figuarts since those rarely disappoint.
thanks for the review! I unfortunately had to giver up my pre-order for her because delays piled up in one month. But after seeing this, I'm kinda glad I didn't get it. yeah sure pre-order was cheaper than SRP but the price itself isn't enough for an "OKAY" figure. Again thanks! At least now I'm not regretting giving her up. Will wait for a price drop like you advised.
Petition square to have max factory or goodsmile make their possible figures. (over 90$ is too much for this low quality, Kaine is being sold for 60$ and thats way more acceptable)
Nice review. And to answer your question, it's not 2B xD. I was so tempted in ordering this but that $89 price tag along with how bad most of the Square figures have been looking lately turned me off. I don't know what it is, but the paint job looks really bad... Especially those hands, yeesh. At least the machines look nice.
Haha thanks! ^^ Yeah I REALLY don't know what Square Enix is doing. Used to love Play Arts Kai years ago but sometimes forget the line even exists these days. And quite frankly I dunno how it even still exists with the overpriced and underwhelming figures they keep releasing. Really sad that BringArts is going down the same path.
@@therealPayne More like shitty, actually :') I saw two more Nier automata figures go up for sale on amiami today, and the prototype looked good for 8000 yen, so when I saw this I was incredibly dissapointed... The stand looks really crappy too
Meh, the stand is ok but yea....about those 2 new Nier figures that popped up on AmiAmi, i still got my eye on it, wondering if I wanna give BringArts another shot. You see 2A has a very simple design, MAYBE they can get it done. But if they fuck that one up i see no hope. But I dunno yet, we'll see if I get her or not.
I don't see how they can be so confident in releasing such a incompetent figure with such terrible mechanics that's so prone to falling apart and charge as much as they did. Their Sora was the same. S.h figuarts did a much better job in their rendition of the character.
I see, so those are common issues with the line. Glad you're telling me this, that way i'll probably avoid any more BringArts. As for the "why" of it. Square Enix have been bad in the figure department these last couple years if you ask me. I stopped collecting Play Arts Kai when they started racking up prices with declining quality. Honestly I dunno how Play Arts Kai is still a thing, but I HOPED they'd do better with BringArts...which is unfortunately not the case. Square Enix being cheap mofos when it comes to the figure business.
Seen it, fixes a few probably over something that's just way to flawed for me to buy it again. Makes you think how bad they screwed up when they actually made a 2nd version only a few months after the original.
Thank you soo much for such a detailed review. I've just started playing Automata after seeing the great reviews as I'm not a big fan of RPGs. I was keen to to buy this even for a ridiculous price but you've saved me.. thanks ; ) I did order the Tomb Raider ultimate edition from Square Enix and believe me the statue looks awful. You are right, they need to up their game when it comes to figures, specially when they charge you a high price you expect much better from them not like a China make cheap stuff.
Thank you for the high praise, glad I could save you some money. And yes, I really dunno what Square Enix is doing these days. I used to collect Play Arts Kai, but jumped off when prices starting going up and quality down. Seems like they haven't improved, a shame really.
@@therealPayne 'Prices up Quality down' that's square enix EXPLAINED. Lol... one more thing, my statue of Shadow of the Tomb Raider arrived damaged, I asked for a 50% refund and guess what they start from offering a 10% refund, after a few emails I settled it for 30%.. Felt like I was negotiating with an Ebay seller : (
NieR Automata was easily one of my favorite games of 2017, and one of my favorite games ever! I hope there's an A2 version coming soon
I still need to play that one. I love the character designs, that's what REALLY caught my eye.
+ Felix
There's an upcoming 9S & A2 Bring Arts, Square announced it back in March I think.
Definitely not worth the listed price. I was hesitant to preorder it but now I'm thankful I didn't. The more Square releases action figures, the more I wish SH or Goodsmile were in charge of making the figures :(.. Great review btw.

Oo yeah. A figma 2b, A2 and 9s would be amazing. Square doesn't put any love towards making their figures at all.
Awesome review, love the design of these characters but wished a different company made the figures.
Thanks man, glad we agree.
Very nice review! Your intense analysis of the figure piece by piece is really enlightening , great stuff! Pantsu!
Thank you very much ^^

No problem, that's what I'm here for haha. Thanks for the feedback.
I want a figma 2B, this figure is so bad made
Figma or SH Figuarts, either one of the two would've done a better job
the real Payne i know i have some figuarts and figma figures
he reviewed a Bootleg, the Bootleg has a clear hair
@@evymichaelmaglaqui4188 no. Both bootleg and v1 has clear hair. V2 has a more solid hair along with multiple weapons.

Ha, that would be something.
KapiKapi there was a time when good smile produced top quality for only 90 dollars but this was back in 2010-2014

The paintjob is incredibly gritty...
Gritty or shitty? 🤣

the bring arts sora one is good so i figured to get 2b lool . sad thats its disapointment nice review , the release on your country is ahead of ours
LOL ^^ there is no release in my country.
I pre-ordered it on amiami so they send it as soon as it was released over in japan.
the real Payne ohh nice

Square Enix being cheap mofos when it comes to the figure business.
the real Payne yes sadly this is true. I really wanted to like the line but the quality was nowhere on par with figma or figuarts.
That's a BOOTLEG, the Original doesn't have a See-through Hair
It's not, has all the logos and everything plus you do know there's 2 versions of this figure. You are fake news.
They made a new and improved 2B! You should check it out
Seen it, fixes a few probably over something that's just way to flawed for me to buy it again.
Makes you think how bad they screwed up when they actually made a 2nd version only a few months after the original.
Great review! Very insightful. Not gonna buy it unless it has a big sale
Thank you! Also good choice, not worth it at full price.
I have the same figure but the paint job is WAY worser. Glad I got it almost for free.
Even worse? Yikes!
just subbed to you. thanks for saving me 90 usd. this looks way worse than what I expected.
Thanks man! Always happy to help.
I am glad I skipped this one... Good review!
Thanks man!
I might get her but less price not for $ 80.00 make it $50.00 or less then yup
Totally agree with you dude, not worth the 80$ price tag.

I think this Flare 2b figure is much better but again preorders are through sqenix site
ua-cam.com/video/WrjBauwIYes/v-deo.html
Hey Rashid, there is a new version of 2B coming summer this year with a lot of changes:
myfigurecollection.net/item/737564
I pre-ordered this figure. How the hell did this guy get his figure almost a month before mine came?
This guy? I'm right here.
I pre-ordered it on Ami Ami in japan and they send it once she was in stock, i dunno what else to tell ya.
Is there somewhere a decent 2b action figure/statue? I looked for this but it seems very bad
I dunno of any
hey nero DMC 3rd party super duck set015 but i think its around $165
That's terrible...
How does it scale with SHF?
1:00
the real Payne ah that's small compared to SHF.
Yes, it's a tiny bit smaller
Gotta buy the bootleg
I guess, since this one isn't worth the price.
