I've ordered Pink Pink and O2 Neoclassicism Tifa, I've received the O2, and it is definitely a good catch. I personally think you should really give it another review, seeing the final product myself and the quality of their work really makes me feel it was so worth it. And other than O2, I feel the XZ, PPS and GLS really earned the top 3 places, I'll share my photos once they've been unboxed. Oh yeah, my top 3 would be; GLS PPS O2 In whichever order, but we're on the same page on the top 3, they all look great imo
*My Top 3:* - Hero Belief - XZ Studio - Pink Pink Studio *Honorable Mentions:* The Mayflies Studio statue has incredible promo images of Tifa (straight up Advent Children homage), and Greenleaf Studio absolutely nailed Tifa’s anatomy the best out of any of the statues that have Tifa’s base character design. Abs for days. 🤤
@@SpartanUruk im agree with that... i also not fan of bunny girls... Even tho that Tifa statue looks hot, ngl.. lol Cant wait to see another Tifa statues goes live...
I just received the Play Arts Kai Tifa. It looks like they might have improved it I can't say for sure. I remember the one photo showing a bit of hair that was sticking up on top. Overall it looks pretty nice I think.
Great video sir! My top picks Would be as follows: 1) MH 2) XZ 3) Greenleaf 4) PinkPink I’m biased on the first two as those are the ones I have pre-ordered. The MH had by far the best in hand photos at the time I ordered and I can’t really add anything to what you said about the XZ Tifa. The PP is just an overall beautiful statue of her iconic look and I think the Greenleaf one has the best body sculpting out of all of them, even though the face seems a bit more off to me. I think they made her look more athletic like she could really be a fighter. I’m tempted to pre-order that one too, but you know, money, and already having two other Tifa’s on pre-order. Have you seen anything new on the Anonymous Aerith statue? I’m still holding my pre-order in the hopes of a monumental update. 😅
I pre-ordered the Play Arts Tifa Lockhart figure from Right Stuf Anime, which is the highest I paid for a figure besides a Poison Ivy statue....I got from GameStop a while ago
The Pink Pink Studio Tifa is arguably the best depiction of Tifa among these unlicensed sculpture to date, at least based on my experience seeing them in the flesh and in raw photos of owners. A lot of these studios took a lot of liberty in their versions to incorporate their own unique flavor to the character which oftentimes resulted to a figure that's either over sexualized or become far out of character. The PPS version is not entirely different but at least they stayed true to the character's main essence much more than others. I'll be a little bit biased since I very much prefer Tifa's Dissidia NT design which is loosely base on the original FF7 design but I think what PPS come up here are both fresh and nostalgic and the final outcome of her face in the post production just kills the competition outright for me.
I was able to get an email back from Avolounge and Fanatic Anime store about the XZ Studio Tifa. They said she should be released by next month or so. Hopefully we can see some updates soon!!
@@wufuren have you ordered from them before? I ordered MH Studios from Gameharbors as my first so I'm not familiar with any of the companies doing unlicensed statues. I also considered doing MH Aerith through them to see what company is best for future purchases.
Off topic but it looks like my Tifa PAK order shipped from Square. I should be getting it on Monday. I guess it wasn’t delayed until April? Im sure they’ll have a version 2 come out down the line.
I really don’t know why people call it her blue dress. It’s clearly purple. Devs said in an art book “purple dress” Multiple shots included mods of Tifa in the dress in the bar, purple.
F4 Studio Tifa Lockhart is also cool, specially the pose back to back with Cloud, so awesome but the Pink Pink Studio Tifa still my favorite. I cant wait your unboxing of Pink Pink Studio Tifa.
Based strictly from prototypes the MH Tifa is still my #1. Paint detail looks like it's on another level based on the in hand prototypes. XZ is my #2 then probably pink pink. I dunno if you saw the recent pictures of the F4 but Aerith looked absolutely horrible so it automatically hurts Tifa in relation. People tore them apart on their Facebook. Hopefully it will be fixed because it's a great price for what's basically 3, 1/4 statues in one.
@@SpartanUruk on their Facebook they were showing off Aerith up close and the whole head sculpt is horrible. =( They are also doing an individual Tifa that's not part of the diorama but it has a very basic stand.
Hey, great summary video! :D I was toying with the idea of ordering something (was leaning toward the F4 Diorama since you get 3 characters), but they wanted quite a bit for shipping to the US, I dunno. Couldn't quite swing it. I think I could convince myself to maybe do $300 all-in, but $800 is intimidating to someone that's never purchased! I think your ranking order is pretty good! That XZ one has a great likeness, though I suspect many would prefer her standard outfit. Tough decision! I went ahead and at least ordered the 3 official statuettes from SE. They obviously aren't as striking, but they're also a tenth of the cost, haha. Hopefully they will do a Tifa at some point, too. I never heard much else about the CorgiProGKit Tifa -- did that ever go anywhere? And lastly, I guess GameToys has been really knocking it out of the park with their Cloud and Sephiroth releases... going to keep an eye on them to see if they do more--maybe Tifa and Aerith!
@@SpartanUruk Looking forward to that video! I'd been following an FF7 merch thread on a forum and they were really excited about it. The photos they shared looked really good. I also saw some more recent PAK in-hand videos... some looked a bit better than what we've seen in the past, but still not as good as the promos by far.
It somewhat feels a bit surreal to me. Back in 2018 I thought: "Damn, I've been waiting for 10 years now, for propper FF statues" Now, we have 10 diffrent Tifas alone. What?! ^^ But I'm overall not impressed by any of these statues. You can basically tell at first glance that these studios either lack experience or the means for high end production. (Or didn't even attempt it) I'm really glad to have canceled my orders, since none fit my standard (sadly). If I had to pick 3, I would say 1. Pink Pink 2. F4 3. Mayflies. Btw. I think you should strictly stay away from comparing renders with proto pics / in hand pics. It's just always so diffrent.
@@SpartanUruk As you well know. Concept art and final paint work is often dissimilar. You really can't judge a top 10 without seeing them all in-person. You might as well make it a top 10 JPEG competition.
It’s a good sign atleast that pinkpink studio is in no rush on releasing their Tifa figure. They can take whatever time they want so long as the figure comes out good. Better not to rush it and make sure quality control is a thing. We have seen what happens if they just push a product rather than take their time to make sure everything is up to snuff.
@@SpartanUruk pretty sure they do cost that much and i respect the creator for putting time and effort in it, its hand made?. I hella love tifa, but i wouldnt spend that not very fortunate like other ppl. To me its like working at a fast food saving to buy a lambo
Wow ! Nice intro :)
Can't wait for PPS

@@SpartanUruk hahaha you’re tellin me lol
Wow a version 2 of Tifa PAK, I hope the version 2 will do some justice.
@@MarraLo0390 I’m just guessing there will be a version 2 based on all the backlash. But I’m hoping she looks better in person. We shall see.
How do you know this - did you get a shipping notification?
There are unboxing videos! I am watching one from Jun cleofas. Looks like the 2nd head sculpt is the one they use for promo, see minute 9.
Amazing list. I agree with most of them, but all of them are amzing because it's Tifa lol. You should one for Aerith lmao.
Pretty please?
@@SpartanUruk i love Aerith! But agreed.. the top 3 will probably that only 3

obligatory comment for them algorithm
I think the Bunny Girl Version is off-putting.
Yeah I don't like it. I think a similar pose leaned on her bar in her normal outfit holding a Cosmo Canyon would have been fantastic.
no other characters than her, eh?
The bunny outfit is the FF7/FF14 gold saucer outfit :)
