2B is actually short at about 5'6 in height (yep, heels included) and with it being scaled closer to imports, I think she looks pretty good, especially next to other figma. I think it should be mentioned that 2B herself is physically meant to look like she's in her mid to late-teens (think around 16-17).
And the height kinda fits that stat, but it's the proportions that push it to a smaller scale. Head, hand, and foot size makes it seem more like a very tall 4 inch scale figure.
I get what you mean, but I think that's more to do with her really slender/petite frame combined with her insanely tall stiletto heels. Right next to full-sized adults in the game, 2B physically looks like a teenager. I don't know, I've seen comparisons of the figure next to other Figma and she looks surprisingly in scale (even your comparison with the Figma Deadpool). Ironically, I was actually worried that they'd make her too tall due to the 6-inch label. Just to give an idea, here's a slight approximation of how she looks next to a full-sized (6'1) character: i.imgur.com/CeHqfK9.gif
She's supposed to be 5'6" with heels on. The S.H. Figuarts Black Widow he showed her next to is supposed to be 5'3" (maybe a *bit* taller with the shoes), but she's even significantly shorter than that, so she's even too short for import scale, except for maybe some figma.
Great review! My figure arrived yesterday and I was wondering if I bought a chinese knockoff figure. But it seems the original figure is just like that, maybe my toy is genuine. In short: this is quite a sh*tty figure. I'm not a fan of Bring Arts Kai, all these fine details are too much for a toy this size. Also, you should really play Nier: Automata, it's an awesome game!!!
Type Here The word android is used as an umbrella term in the game though And by definition, android just means modeled after a human, not a masculine human
you keep saying its odd with putting the machine head on 2B or the bigger sword and stuff, but I think you're missing out on one thing...its japanese..sooo... ahahahha XD
The figure is almost $100 I thought it was going to be better, but from the video Im pretty disappointed. Even though I love 2B I ain't dropping that kind of dough for this.
ROBO DOESNT KNOW WHAT HES TALKIN ABOUT!! now that ive gotten that outta my system.....ill have to be honest..idk what im talking about either. but i do know that this was a damn funny figure review lol i kind of am looking at getting these later this year, but i have no idea about the game either, the designs intrigue me though
Nice review Robo!!! I think if you knew the character the size wouldn't bother you and you'd see it's accurate. I can't wait to get my set. They recently put up for preorder Kaine. She's the main female protagonist from the first game and in my opinion one of the most interesting female characters ever. She has some very interesting battle garb and some awesome swords. I definitely recommend picking her up. Thanks for the review and keep up the great work...
Thanks for this review man. I’m a huge fan of this game, it’s like one of top 5 favorite games. And the 2B character and most of the other characters are all oddly propositioned because they are androids. Some of the male androids heads look too small for their own body in some screen shots. I’m definitely buying this , and hopefully square will make more characters like 9S & A2.
It is a good looking figure, but I'm still a bit finicky about getting another Square Enix figure. I'm so done with their Play Arts Kai line. Wonder if you are going to review the Kingdom Hearts ones when those come out.
Yes, they've done 3 Sora so far with 3 more variants in the pipeline. Riku, goofy (toy story) and Donald (toy story) are also in development. It's confusing because both companies are doing 1/12 figures right now. They look great mixed and matched too.
I have bought TWO of these, factory sealed, now and both have arrived with duplicate right upper arms. This locks the elbow joint in the wrong direction. Very disappointed. I really spoiled myself with sh figuarts Han solo.
I mean, it's meant to be 1/12. 6 inch scale is most close to 1/12 (although already a skewed, slightly over-sized version of 1/12), and given that she is 5.5 feet, her figure being 5.6 inches makes sense, given her heels and all. Her head is small, but I'd say that's more a blame of the character's design itself more so than the figure. So really, in a technical aspect it's completely on point to design in terms of size and proportions. The figure is a bit of a mess though with delicacy and all, but that's a given with how thin parts will be.
Agent X, Silver Samurai, 90s Rictor and Boom Boom and Feral, spikey Thing, a new classic Nightcrawler and Colossus, good versions of Whedon's Astonishing X-men, and the original Excalibur. For starters, heh.
The Fwoosh cool, I would love a New comic book rocket raccoon one, the Skottie young version, a new magik, a comic book yellowjacket from the new comics and a 12 inch Giant-Man using the spiderman buck...would love it
Thanks Robo, appreciate you reviewing these. My most anticipated figure at the moment. I agree, it appears small, but as long as the other figures in the line are in scale and the machine 2-pack next month scales as well, I'm satisfied. Bring arts, in my opinion, takes a lot of what was wrong with PAK and improves upon it. Price point isn't unreasonable either
kaleodos that's fine, we all can have our opinions. I preordered from AmiAmi during the first week so my cost was just under $60 for this set. I think 6100-6200 yen. 2 figures for $60? That's nearly hasbro / marvel legends price points. I love my PAKs but I'd be lying if qc issues ranging from those terrible ratchet joints, paint ranging from decent to downright abysmal, amongst other things weren't rampant and consistent. Robo is a honest and strict reviewer, but he was coming from an outsider view with no knowledge of the game. I personally think, if he knew more about the game, he'd be more forgiving about things like scale, the various accessories, proportions, etc. She's a teenage Android, not meant to scale like an adult. Plus Japanese game designers and artists design human proportions differently, since the dawn of time. Also, worth noting, The bring arts sora is damn near perfect. You have to admit one thing. When the PAK line was first introduced (think back to dissidia squall, cloud, and Gabranth - mass effect 3 line, first Tomb Raider croft, etc) compared to when the bring arts line was introduced (Sora, 2B and machine), square has made strides in their engineering and qc. That's not an opinion, but a fact.
Will Krivickas Dude I have plenty of PAKs and believe me their joints are fine, you need some strong joints to support big figures like those. Its a shame that SE still have terrible qc even with their newest line, at this point they cannot compete with figmas or even SHFs, maybe with mafex but even those guys are redeeming themselves
kaleodos not disagreeing. I have 27 FF PAK and I've had 5 break due to the ratchet joint locking up, paint freeze, etc. Im extremely careful with my figures, this wasn't even over time, it was within hours of opening. That's nearly 1:5 breaking, 20% chance. Still love them and because I buy from reputable retailers they have all gotten replaced. I'm simply saying they've come a long way since the first PAK to the current PAK. I'm confident bring arts will do the same, and in my opinion, they're already ahead of the ball. The bring arts sora is better than some of the recent PAK today, and certainly better than the first PAK when the line was introduced. The bring arts of NOW are better than the play arts kai of THEN. They'll only improve from here. Looks like they're saving the FF characters for when the QC is on lock, which excites me. 👍
IMO the figure doesn't do the game justice sadly.... I'm a huge fan of Nier (even of the clunky PS3 game) but this figure didn't tempt me at all. If Flare's 2B figure has a reasonable price tag then maaaybe
I wonder if Robo will agree about this: I see potential in the Bring Arts line. This 2B is a decent 6/10: great accesories, nice articulation that allows for cool posing & an unique design. However, it's still not as good as a very good SHF or Figma release (when it comes to anime or videogame female characters, it's hard to top figma...it's live action characters where they falter and SHF usually shines). The knees are ugly, the joints feel like 2016 MAFEX & the paintjob is a little bit messy and cheap-looking. Finally, I don't know what's up with that transparent hair but I don't think it looks great. Finally, If you look at her appearence in the game, the facesculpt is quite off. And yeah, she's TINY...I don't think she's THAT small. Overall it's not a bad release but considering the price point Square Enix has to keep improving (just like Mafex did).
While I sort of like my Play Arts Kai, I prefer other companies. Somehow Square Enix figures can be great but very pricey and also somewhat flawed. I am glad this is getting a rerelease since I am playing the game right now and it's a masterpiece and that the v2 will be better than the first release. Scalewise: I am glad she is in scale with figmas and it seems it is right. 2B is small and western companies tend to make figures way bigger than they should be (great exampl would be Black Series Jaina Solo, she should be more like 2B actually).
Also, I’ve never played this game so I’m gonna just say this not completely knowing how true it is: 2B (I think that is the main girl’s name, if it isn’t please correct me) looks like Raiden from Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance. (great game by the way, if you haven’t played it, or any other Metal Gear game for that matter I still personally recommend it because it’s a bit of a side game which doesn’t really connect to the other main games.)
finding it interesting that the packaging and a lot of people talk more figure size as a category as opposed to them by scale, which is how i think about them. Or is 6" just short for 1/12 and it takes into account character variations?
I know I will. I like character but never bought this figure. The reviews said she wasn't that good and the prices were way too high. Now that they are making a better one for the standard price Im gonna get her as soon as she comes out.
Have mine pre-ordered from SE NA. Very excited to get her! BTW, since you like the machine life form figure so much, you may be interested to know that it’s called a “small stubby” in the game, lol!
My friend streamed this game and it's a pretty cool and interesting game Robo if you ever decide to check it. Just not for everyone since it's very anime inspired. Also I was looking forward to this figure kinda a let down seeing it being so tiny. Honestly the 2B figure is more 1:18 since she's super tiny being 4 inches.The Robot lifeform is really the winner of the set still Square Enix trying to up prices on figures is ridiculous even on this set since a lot of QC issues on 2B. Idk never brought anything play arts Kai related but Bring arts haves me worried since if it's not anything being Square Enix property like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts they put no effort on in it.
On the Fwoosh website, he has more pictures showing she's just around 5.5 inches. This would make her exactly in a 6" scale as 2b's height is stated to be 5'6" with heels (according to the Nier wiki at least). The scale on the S.H. Street Figuarts is the same too; Ryu matches his 5'9" height and Chun Li matches her 5'6" height. I just wish that this scaling carried over to other lines that say they are 6" or 1/12 scale (i.e. Storm Collectibles)
I haven't received mine yet, but I'm starting to get scared. I don't regret getting it as of yet, but I am a bit worried. I'll probably end up painting the hair. Although testors paint hasn't been too kind to me as of late. And 2B's alternate head is pretty. Just sayin.
Wow all kinds of issues. Bummer but I do like Machine & Pod! And 2B is cool just all the joint's popping off sounds irritating. I realize Machines elbows & wrists pop off but for the most part the hips and shoulders are locking ball joints, right?
don't feel too bad,bro. she is actually that short in the game,when you see her compared to an adult character she is pretty short. so, the figure just might be 6 inch scale but 6 inch scale compared to her height in the game itself. plus her character is supposed to be about a teenager model as an android and so, her sword is actually bigger than her as well. i have yet to play the game myself but, i know things about it.
I pre ordered this but from the review looks kinda crappy, especially for the price... the small size and the constantly popping out of parts makes it feel like a 15 bucks knock off figma figure. Painting looks kinda sloppy too, disappointing...
I thought of Pre-Ordering her but had to cancel at a last minute purchase with Star Wars stuff. But man, after seeing your video review on Bring Arts 2B , im glad I didnt PO this . Good review , going to skip 9S and or A2 if 2B quality is similar like this
I just wanna say that if you have a PS4 or gaming PC you should absolutely purchase Nier Automata right now and play through it. you will not be disappointed.
Although I really like the game, the figure isn't that worth for the price I have to pay for .Sorry, I have to wait for another company to make 2B figure.
I really wanted 2B, but with how frustrating the articulation is I kind of want to cancel my Fei, from Xenogears, pre-order. I won't, because I'm a fanboy for Xenogears. But still, $90 for a figure that plays like a knock-off, no thank you! Thanks for the review, been waiting for it for a while!
WHY THE FUCK IS IT SO SMALL IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF Square Enix THEY WERE TWICE AS BIG, REALLY THIS IS A RIP OFF PEOPLE ARE FOOL FOR BUYING THIS, NO WAY IN HELL I'M BUYING THIS AND THAT FACE ON HER EYK : (
The Fwoosh - DAMN RIGHT THEY ARE, AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON FIGMA'S PRICE'S THERE A RIPOFF NOW AND I WON'T BUY THEM NOWER DAYS CAUSE THERE TOO F-ING DEAR, AND WHAT MAKES MY BLOOD BURN IS THAT THE PEOPLE ON UA-cam GET GIVEN THESE FIGURE'S FOR FREE MOSTLY, BUT PEOPLE LIKE ME AND OTHER'S HAVE TO GO AND BUY THEM WITH THERE OWN HARD EARED MONEY THAT'S JUST FUCKED UP : (
Awesome review on the figure you won't be the first time somebody bought a figure and did not know anything about it I know I have bought a couple figures and did not know anything about it but like how the figure look
I think if Revoltech was to do this line, they'd kill it. 2B would work like their old Metal Gear Rising Raiden figure, with the insane amount of articulation and detail. Bring Arts is pretty good but they could definetly use some more improvement, mainly in the articulation section.
Damn why does it seem like it looks bad? kinda wanna cancel my pre order but i was hoping for this to be my first BRing Arts since my PAK is already complete
Whoa whoa whoa, in the first pics of Pod there is a down low upshot, and then I kind of show Machine's undercarriage when I demonstrate his hip articulation, haha.
Weeell, thanks for the honest review...I'm a little disappointed by "her" size....But ho well...That means I will have to customize it...As for the robot, he looks really dope.
the black speck below the lips is a birthmark... any others are mistakes :P
Oh man, good to know, I was scraping away trying to get it off, haha.
2B is actually short at about 5'6 in height (yep, heels included) and with it being scaled closer to imports, I think she looks pretty good, especially next to other figma. I think it should be mentioned that 2B herself is physically meant to look like she's in her mid to late-teens (think around 16-17).
And the height kinda fits that stat, but it's the proportions that push it to a smaller scale. Head, hand, and foot size makes it seem more like a very tall 4 inch scale figure.
She has more anime proportions.
I get what you mean, but I think that's more to do with her really slender/petite frame combined with her insanely tall stiletto heels. Right next to full-sized adults in the game, 2B physically looks like a teenager. I don't know, I've seen comparisons of the figure next to other Figma and she looks surprisingly in scale (even your comparison with the Figma Deadpool). Ironically, I was actually worried that they'd make her too tall due to the 6-inch label.
Just to give an idea, here's a slight approximation of how she looks next to a full-sized (6'1) character: i.imgur.com/CeHqfK9.gif
Most japanese games have this stylized proportiona that never follow the characters height on the profiles. She looks awesome
That height just sold me.
game is not good! its a masterpiece!! dont miss out on it!
When i read your first words i was like wtf and after completing it i was that's 100 precent true 👏👏
Pretty sure this is a 6 inch scale figure. It's a female character in a Japanese game. They're usually pretty small.
She's supposed to be 5'6" with heels on. The S.H. Figuarts Black Widow he showed her next to is supposed to be 5'3" (maybe a *bit* taller with the shoes), but she's even significantly shorter than that, so she's even too short for import scale, except for maybe some figma.
Great review! My figure arrived yesterday and I was wondering if I bought a chinese knockoff figure. But it seems the original figure is just like that, maybe my toy is genuine. In short: this is quite a sh*tty figure. I'm not a fan of Bring Arts Kai, all these fine details are too much for a toy this size.
Also, you should really play Nier: Automata, it's an awesome game!!!
What about the play arts kai version?
@@elaminmochichi7767 It's too expensive :)
2.0 has better quality
The "little arms" on POD are actually guns and are supposed to point forward. Also 2B is short because she is a "teenager" android
That makes WAY more sense, haha. Thanks for the info!
The Fwoosh your welcome! Any way did you got to see if the poft2 mouse droid fit the 6inch scale?
Not yet, haven't had a chance to track one down yet. Summer is starting which means mowing and school awards and kids all over the place. Soon though!
Gynoid, not android. Androids are robots modeled after men.
Type Here
The word android is used as an umbrella term in the game though
And by definition, android just means modeled after a human, not a masculine human
this review made me think how much I’d love to have a little robot buddy following me round.
I'm thinking this little robot buddy might end up with Gus.
The Fwoosh That is a great idea.
Until it starts to attack you like what it did in the game.
DONT mess with the black spots on 2Bs face. theyre beauty marks and yes, she has them in-game.
Yup, quite a few people told me about that, definitely not messing with it, haha.
One of the blac "speck" in the chin is her mole actually. Comes with the character. The other one I believe is not.
figures dont make the game, game makes the figure
Okay?
Just play the damn game 🤣
FillerBunny NinjaShark GIVE THIS MAN A NOBEL! I said the same!
wow! be careful with the joints. three minutes out of the box and careful effort to raise the left arm broke it right off. truly a bummer.
Yeah, I didn't want to push too hard against some of those joints. Some of them were hard to get going.
you keep saying its odd with putting the machine head on 2B or the bigger sword and stuff, but I think you're missing out on one thing...its japanese..sooo... ahahahha XD
Also, it's something you can actually do in-game, just like equipping Emil's head so it's an accurate figure to the source material.
Don’t type xd
Hey Robo I know you don't review 12 inch figs, but oh boy a TBLeague Automata 2B with her robot buddies would be AMAZING.
lol looks cheap as hell, thank god i forgot to preorder. Nice background dunno why reminds me to mine XD
The figure is almost $100 I thought it was going to be better, but from the video Im pretty disappointed.
Even though I love 2B I ain't dropping that kind of dough for this.
There's also a machine two pack with lots of accessories, I enjoyed that much more than this pack.
11:27 Mate! Go and play that game! It’s AWESOME!!!!! Best game I ever played!
ROBO DOESNT KNOW WHAT HES TALKIN ABOUT!!
now that ive gotten that outta my system.....ill have to be honest..idk what im talking about either. but i do know that this was a damn funny figure review lol
i kind of am looking at getting these later this year, but i have no idea about the game either, the designs intrigue me though
"Why's there a window up here?" Rofl😂🤣
I love your honesty, keep it up!
Since you seemed to like the machine (who's name is Friedrich), you should check this out:
ua-cam.com/video/TtFQw0IjhlY/v-deo.html
Friedrich is an AWESOME name!
I laughed at the "paint fade" comment. Are you sure you aren't a robot sent to destroy us all?
I can neither confirm nor deny your accusation.
Processing.
Processing.
Nice review Robo!!! I think if you knew the character the size wouldn't bother you and you'd see it's accurate. I can't wait to get my set. They recently put up for preorder Kaine. She's the main female protagonist from the first game and in my opinion one of the most interesting female characters ever. She has some very interesting battle garb and some awesome swords. I definitely recommend picking her up. Thanks for the review and keep up the great work...
Thanks for this review man. I’m a huge fan of this game, it’s like one of top 5 favorite games.

I’m definitely buying this , and hopefully square will make more characters like 9S & A2.
I bought this figure and definitely don't regret it.
I really don't get why you'd spend all the money on this figure without knowing anything at all about the source material
Because I like toys and trying new things. Not with the toys. Just seeing what new companies and lines are like.
It is a good looking figure, but I'm still a bit finicky about getting another Square Enix figure. I'm so done with their Play Arts Kai line. Wonder if you are going to review the Kingdom Hearts ones when those come out.
Is Bring Arts doing Kingdom Hearts? Again, I don't know much about that property but I thought Figuarts was doing those.
I saw that on a weekly! you did 2 months ago, it looks alright
The sora one. Bring arts is doing this because the game is published/made by Square Enix.
Yes, they've done 3 Sora so far with 3 more variants in the pipeline. Riku, goofy (toy story) and Donald (toy story) are also in development. It's confusing because both companies are doing 1/12 figures right now. They look great mixed and matched too.
Will Krivickas
Willing to bet all the variants are exclusive :/
I have bought TWO of these, factory sealed, now and both have arrived with duplicate right upper arms. This locks the elbow joint in the wrong direction. Very disappointed.
I really spoiled myself with sh figuarts Han solo.
I mean, it's meant to be 1/12. 6 inch scale is most close to 1/12 (although already a skewed, slightly over-sized version of 1/12), and given that she is 5.5 feet, her figure being 5.6 inches makes sense, given her heels and all. Her head is small, but I'd say that's more a blame of the character's design itself more so than the figure. So really, in a technical aspect it's completely on point to design in terms of size and proportions. The figure is a bit of a mess though with delicacy and all, but that's a given with how thin parts will be.
When I want detail information on a figure o go Jay C, when I want laugh I go shartimus prime .
When I want both I go to Robo
Haha, when I started reading it I wasn't quite sure where you were going. Thanks man!
The Fwoosh you're welcome!
Quick question: which Marvel Characters would you like see in action figure form?
Agent X, Silver Samurai, 90s Rictor and Boom Boom and Feral, spikey Thing, a new classic Nightcrawler and Colossus, good versions of Whedon's Astonishing X-men, and the original Excalibur. For starters, heh.
The Fwoosh cool, I would love a New comic book rocket raccoon one, the Skottie young version, a new magik, a comic book yellowjacket from the new comics and a 12 inch Giant-Man using the spiderman buck...would love it
trust me dude, the game is worth your money ;)
Thanks Robo, appreciate you reviewing these. My most anticipated figure at the moment. I agree, it appears small, but as long as the other figures in the line are in scale and the machine 2-pack next month scales as well, I'm satisfied. Bring arts, in my opinion, takes a lot of what was wrong with PAK and improves upon it. Price point isn't unreasonable either
Yeah, I wish I liked 2B a little better but they got me for that Machine 2 pack next month, so they did something right, haha.
Will Krivickas by seeing the fragility on this figure I disagree, specially on the price
kaleodos that's fine, we all can have our opinions. I preordered from AmiAmi during the first week so my cost was just under $60 for this set. I think 6100-6200 yen. 2 figures for $60? That's nearly hasbro / marvel legends price points. I love my PAKs but I'd be lying if qc issues ranging from those terrible ratchet joints, paint ranging from decent to downright abysmal, amongst other things weren't rampant and consistent. Robo is a honest and strict reviewer, but he was coming from an outsider view with no knowledge of the game. I personally think, if he knew more about the game, he'd be more forgiving about things like scale, the various accessories, proportions, etc. She's a teenage Android, not meant to scale like an adult. Plus Japanese game designers and artists design human proportions differently, since the dawn of time. Also, worth noting, The bring arts sora is damn near perfect.
You have to admit one thing. When the PAK line was first introduced (think back to dissidia squall, cloud, and Gabranth - mass effect 3 line, first Tomb Raider croft, etc) compared to when the bring arts line was introduced (Sora, 2B and machine), square has made strides in their engineering and qc. That's not an opinion, but a fact.

Its a shame that SE still have terrible qc even with their newest line, at this point they cannot compete with figmas or even SHFs, maybe with mafex but even those guys are redeeming themselves
kaleodos not disagreeing. I have 27 FF PAK and I've had 5 break due to the ratchet joint locking up, paint freeze, etc. Im extremely careful with my figures, this wasn't even over time, it was within hours of opening.

The bring arts of NOW are better than the play arts kai of THEN. They'll only improve from here. Looks like they're saving the FF characters for when the QC is on lock, which excites me. 👍
was expecting more articulation on the neck and shoulder, but it came with robot.
Robots make everything better.
This is version 1.0 of the 2.0 in fact it comes better than the 2.0 that costs more on Amazon I bought my version 1.0 in Temu
IMO the figure doesn't do the game justice sadly.... I'm a huge fan of Nier (even of the clunky PS3 game) but this figure didn't tempt me at all. If Flare's 2B figure has a reasonable price tag then maaaybe
That was fun and I don't collect toys . Would like to see a video of all your bots now.
you seem to be the only reviewer that's figured out the shoulder hinge. all other reviews i've seen just says it has poor range.
Honestly, I didn't discover them until I was in the middle of the review. Messing with it for a while before shooting I missed them completely.
I own the figure and I didn't realize it until I watched this review.
A good figure, but not worth Figma pricing. The knockoff is pretty much the same so definitely not worth it.
at 9:01 i laughed so HARD XD HAHAHAHAHA
This video has the same amount of comments as wonder wall right now and thats including my comment
Wow... this figure looks pretty bad in terms of finishing n QC for the price it's asking for...
I wonder if Robo will agree about this: I see potential in the Bring Arts line. This 2B is a decent 6/10: great accesories, nice articulation that allows for cool posing & an unique design. However, it's still not as good as a very good SHF or Figma release (when it comes to anime or videogame female characters, it's hard to top figma...it's live action characters where they falter and SHF usually shines).

And yeah, she's TINY...I don't think she's THAT small. Overall it's not a bad release but considering the price point Square Enix has to keep improving (just like Mafex did).
Oh yeah, definitely has potential. They are on the right track, just a lot of tweaking to do.
so are you going to get the 2.0 version?
Awesome review man
While I sort of like my Play Arts Kai, I prefer other companies. Somehow Square Enix figures can be great but very pricey and also somewhat flawed. I am glad this is getting a rerelease since I am playing the game right now and it's a masterpiece and that the v2 will be better than the first release.
Scalewise: I am glad she is in scale with figmas and it seems it is right. 2B is small and western companies tend to make figures way bigger than they should be (great exampl would be Black Series Jaina Solo, she should be more like 2B actually).
Pod’s head looks like a old home computer from the 80’s to me.
Haha, another reason it appeals to me so much!
Also, I’ve never played this game so I’m gonna just say this not completely knowing how true it is: 2B (I think that is the main girl’s name, if it isn’t please correct me) looks like Raiden from Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance. (great game by the way, if you haven’t played it, or any other Metal Gear game for that matter I still personally recommend it because it’s a bit of a side game which doesn’t really connect to the other main games.)
The Fwoosh Haha, gotta agree with you. I’ve never played these games (?) but the figures look great to me.
I've played most of the MGS games but not that one. But now you have me wondering if there is a connection.
The Fwoosh Just from memory this figure reminds me of Raiden in that game, maybe I should look them both up side by side haha.
Right under the elbow joint for the robot there’s a swivel my figure was very stiff and I had to twist and turn everything.
Eh I'll stick with my phicen 2b thank you amazing possiblity no seams perfect sculpt
finding it interesting that the packaging and a lot of people talk more figure size as a category as opposed to them by scale, which is how i think about them. Or is 6" just short for 1/12 and it takes into account character variations?
I thought her heels were higher in the game... maybe it’s just me, but I look the details
They're gonna update this fig! Will you get it?
Oh yeah? I haven't heard that. Maybe?
I know I will.
I like character but never bought this figure.
The reviews said she wasn't that good and the prices were way too high.
Now that they are making a better one for the standard price Im gonna get her as soon as she comes out.
Btw...the character height is 5.5 feet, which may turn to be the same in 1/12 scale.
You got an extra "mole" accessory :D
yeah i think i got the chinese rip off version :c
16:48 the sword is almost her size
Wanted to like the video but the likes are at 969 pure perfection.
Have mine pre-ordered from SE NA. Very excited to get her! BTW, since you like the machine life form figure so much, you may be interested to know that it’s called a “small stubby” in the game, lol!
Haha, I LOVE that name.
Ahh Bring Arts.. The McDonalds of toys.
liked before even watching
😁
My friend streamed this game and it's a pretty cool and interesting game Robo if you ever decide to check it.
Just not for everyone since it's very anime inspired. Also I was looking forward to this figure kinda a let down seeing it being so tiny.
Honestly the 2B figure is more 1:18 since she's super tiny being 4 inches.The Robot lifeform is really the winner of the set still Square Enix trying to up prices on figures is ridiculous even on this set since a lot of QC issues on 2B.
Idk never brought anything play arts Kai related but Bring arts haves me worried since if it's not anything being Square Enix property like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts they put no effort on in it.
On the Fwoosh website, he has more pictures showing she's just around 5.5 inches. This would make her exactly in a 6" scale as 2b's height is stated to be 5'6" with heels (according to the Nier wiki at least).
The scale on the S.H. Street Figuarts is the same too; Ryu matches his 5'9" height and Chun Li matches her 5'6" height. I just wish that this scaling carried over to other lines that say they are 6" or 1/12 scale (i.e. Storm Collectibles)
Horroroso para um jogo como Nier, curti não. Receber um action figure desse deveria ser passível de cadeia.
Hey brother, I am with you. I know nothing about the game, but the figure looks hot 🔥 A perfect lady friend for my Figuarts Tony Starks 😉✨✨🙌🏽
In the game, the sword floats when not in use. Great review Robo!
She looks good and the robot is nice maybe
is this the chinese knock off ? 90 bucks for this pos figure seems like a ripoff Im glad I didnt PO this garbage
No no, this is brand new official product.
the figure looks like a Chinese bootleg figma IMO
I haven't received mine yet, but I'm starting to get scared. I don't regret getting it as of yet, but I am a bit worried. I'll probably end up painting the hair. Although testors paint hasn't been too kind to me as of late.
And 2B's alternate head is pretty.
Just sayin.
Dear god i feel so bad for the figure, be a little rougher why not? 😂😂Entertaining never the less.
This 1st time I hear a man deciding either to buy a game or not, based on how the figure looks, not how a game is rated. me confused dot com.
I care about toys waaaaaaaaaay more than games.
Very good video ! :)
Hey Robo is the legs still loose on this fig? Bring Arts Sora has a very loose left leg
I has a little looseness to it.
Wow all kinds of issues. Bummer but I do like Machine & Pod! And 2B is cool just all the joint's popping off sounds irritating. I realize Machines elbows & wrists pop off but for the most part the hips and shoulders are locking ball joints, right?
Shoulders are locked in ball joints, hips are just a hinge. You mean Machine, right?
...So... Was this released? Because I pre-ordered it and have heard absolutely nothing about it.
Yeah, it shipped earlier in the month.
Mine just came yesterday.
plz go and play the game....
She is short in the game
Try the free demo if you have a PS4.
is this a bootleg figure?
don't feel too bad,bro. she is actually that short in the game,when you see her compared to an adult character she is pretty short.
so, the figure just might be 6 inch scale but 6 inch scale compared to her height in the game itself.
plus her character is supposed to be about a teenager model as an android and so, her sword is actually bigger than her as well.
i have yet to play the game myself but, i know things about it.
I pre ordered this but from the review looks kinda crappy, especially for the price... the small size and the constantly popping out of parts makes it feel like a 15 bucks knock off figma figure. Painting looks kinda sloppy too, disappointing...
isnt one of the cuffs loose on the hand, so you can take it off, in order to attach machine's head to her hand?
You may be right, but it was pissing me off immensely.
I thought of Pre-Ordering her but had to cancel at a last minute purchase with Star Wars stuff. But man, after seeing your video review on Bring Arts 2B , im glad I didnt PO this . Good review , going to skip 9S and or A2 if 2B quality is similar like this
Machine reminds me of something from 3A for World War Robot
I totally forgot to mention that, especially after having a couple of those 3As right here by the laptop.
I just wanna say that if you have a PS4 or gaming PC you should absolutely purchase Nier Automata right now and play through it. you will not be disappointed.
Although I really like the game, the figure isn't that worth for the price I have to pay for .Sorry, I have to wait for another company to make 2B figure.
How about the 2.0
I really wanted 2B, but with how frustrating the articulation is I kind of want to cancel my Fei, from Xenogears, pre-order. I won't, because I'm a fanboy for Xenogears. But still, $90 for a figure that plays like a knock-off, no thank you! Thanks for the review, been waiting for it for a while!
They need to release a bigger version of 2B, maybe with the option to remove the skirt just like in the game.
WHY THE FUCK IS IT SO SMALL IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF Square Enix THEY WERE TWICE AS BIG, REALLY THIS IS A RIP OFF PEOPLE ARE FOOL FOR BUYING THIS, NO WAY IN HELL I'M BUYING THIS AND THAT FACE ON HER EYK : (
IT LOOKS LIKE A BOOTLEG FIGURE
Yeah, and those twice as big figures now go for $150-$200. Square Enix is pushing it when it comes to action figures.
The Fwoosh - DAMN RIGHT THEY ARE, AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON FIGMA'S PRICE'S THERE A RIPOFF NOW AND I WON'T BUY THEM NOWER DAYS CAUSE THERE TOO F-ING DEAR, AND WHAT MAKES MY BLOOD BURN IS THAT THE PEOPLE ON UA-cam GET GIVEN THESE FIGURE'S FOR FREE MOSTLY, BUT PEOPLE LIKE ME AND OTHER'S HAVE TO GO AND BUY THEM WITH THERE OWN HARD EARED MONEY THAT'S JUST FUCKED UP : (
4:30 I guess women in AL don't have stockings.
I don't know about Alabama but here in Arkansas they're for Sunday go-to-meetin's and hookers.
Awesome review on the figure you won't be the first time somebody bought a figure and did not know anything about it I know I have bought a couple figures and did not know anything about it but like how the figure look
I think if Revoltech was to do this line, they'd kill it. 2B would work like their old Metal Gear Rising Raiden figure, with the insane amount of articulation and detail. Bring Arts is pretty good but they could definetly use some more improvement, mainly in the articulation section.
I really want this but I can’t bring myself to buy this after how Square Enix have let me down time and time again with my the Play Arts line.
Damn why does it seem like it looks bad?
kinda wanna cancel my pre order but i was hoping for this to be my first BRing Arts since my PAK is already complete
Hey fwoosh! I'm new to collecting. Where do I buy these wonderful toys?!
Where can I get one ????
I knew I shouldn't have given play arts another chance...dang
No upskirt shot of the machine and pod?
I thought you were a connoisseur of robots, Robo!
Whoa whoa whoa, in the first pics of Pod there is a down low upshot, and then I kind of show Machine's undercarriage when I demonstrate his hip articulation, haha.
Where did you get this? I've been looking all over online and cant find anywhere that sells it
I had it preordered on Amiami.
Would you say she’s got a machine head?
I'll admit, it's better than the rest.
Weeell, thanks for the honest review...I'm a little disappointed by "her" size....But ho well...That means I will have to customize it...As for the robot, he looks really dope.
Also... Where you spend 90 on 2b?? You got ripped off 😬
Robo - sucker for toasters with arms.
Actually, that may be a little too true.
