These are super nostalgic to me. I wanted them when I was younger. But I used to watch all the stop motion animation using these on early UA-cam. Ffjason ,raxony, and star cloud. Good times
Glad I found your channel! I'm waiting on the adorable arts figure that should be arriving tomorrow! I got the Play Arts Kai Tifa too because I thought the face looked pretty good - better than the static arts and later Play Arts figures but I think the Bring Arts is probably the best looking in terms of being accurate to Nomura's design. The prize figure of her doing the Flurry is the exception as that seems to be the GOAT!
nice man, i got all them aswell + the Advent Children and Crisis Core lines. it took me around 2 years to track them down at the lowest prices possible on ebay and i love them all dearly.
That's awesome! I love hearing about other people's collections. I always wish I could see them when people tell me about them. I also wish I liked AC and CC enough to collect them. Maybe one day, when I run out of OG and Remake stuff to collect. 😁
I still have my original Final Fantasy VII Play Arts from 2009, and I still love them. As for the loose joints, you can apply some floor polish to tighten the loose joints. You just need some droppers and the metal tipped drop bottle applicators for more precise drops. I used some on the loose joints for the female figures, and they work. The joints were especially loose on Tifa's knees and ankles, as well as Aerith's ankles, but after applying the floor polish and letting it cure and harden, the results were astounding, and I didn't have to worry about using super glue. However, you need to let the figures rest overnight or a couple of hours on a flat surface without them standing so the floor polish can cure and harden properly as well as letting the polish spread throughout the loose joint evenly.
Damnn, memories. I had all of these except the Yuffie. They were kind of what got me into collecting. These and there used to be a UA-camr named FfJason that used to do skits with them 😂
Lucky you! 😂 The only store anywhere close to me that sold anything even similar to this, shut down before these came out, and long before I started making money. 🥲
Yeah the Play Arts were definitely okay for the time. I got a couple of the FFXII ones. They're very stiff, and I was always afraid to even attempt to pose them because they felt very fragile. The weapon that went with the Vaan one I have literally shattered into multiple pieces.
I REALLY want nice 1/4 or larger resin statues of at least the entire main cast of FF7, preferably based off the original art, not remake, but swappable parts would be nice. I thought prime1 would've done it by now, but I guess I'll need to wait for unlicensed studios to make more than just Tifa and Sephiroth.
I personally hope they make a static version of these. I prefer not to have the visible articulation. I have the mini poly ones and I really like those
I agree with you, the joints make them look like awkward robots. 😅 I would absolutely *love* it if they made static figures of the battle versions of their low poly models.
absolutely fantastic collection! I remember owning that Vincent Play Arts as well as the First Cloud. Very nice figures. Do you happen to have a shrine/collection of Zack as well? he´s my favorite character and that would be nice to see. Keep it up!
44 Cloud figs??? If I may ask, how many of them are the Advent Children version of Cloud?? Of your Advent Children versions of Cloud, which is the best in your opinion? (Not static, but pose-able action figure) Also, did they ever release a 1/12 scale version??
I don't actually collect Advent Children figures, so none. 😁 But based on what I have seen during my years of collecting, the best one is probably the "Play Arts Kai Cloud Strife (Advent Children ver.)". I don't think any of the AC figures are 1/12 scale. The closest thing to that scale is probably what's called the "Advent Children - Cloud Strife - Play Arts Action Figure", but it is a bit bigger. Hope this helps! 😀 I believe the new Bring Arts figures are close to 1/12 scale, but those are based on the original. It just so happens that I'm releasing an unboxing video of Cloud from that line tomorrow. 🤩
i don't really pay much attention to the characters proportions but i don't get why they got rid of aerith's curves in the remake. they made her so skinny for some reason when in previous compilations they always portrayed her as rather curvy. she's still pretty though.
I think they wanted it to be a cuter girl next door style look, which fits her personality I think. Also her game model wasn't really that curvy either, mostly just Nomuras original illustration.
Sadly, no. There are relatively few Barret figures, espacially compared to Cloud, Sephiroth & Tifa. No Cid either. Out of all of the main characters, Cid is the one that is the least represented in merch. Only 3 Cid figures in my entire collection, the biggest of which is a keychain from 1997.
@@z3poXP My pleasure. It's why I'm on here! 😀 Looking at what they're releasing for Rebirth...it's a Cloud statue, a huge Sephiroth statue, a Tifa statue and another Cloud statue. They look great and I can't wait to get them, but the pattern continues, I'm afraid. 😮💨
Sadly no. There's only ever been made 3 (OG FF7) Cid figures. The biggest of which is a keychain from 1997. 😅 If you add the compilation, you get one more. A Play Arts Kai from Advent Children. I really hope that the Remake trilogy will even some of these numbers out. 🙏

Your editing is killing me man, this is great stuff. "Can you hold that?", I am howling.
Haha, I totally forgot about that gag. 😂 Thank you! 🤩
This dude must've spent a lot of GP on those figures, he's played those mini games 100 times.
I remember as a kid I really wanted an extra knights cloud figure but they were so rare. Now all the cloud figures look so amazing.

I'm glad you found it too! 😁 And yes. Tifa's Dolphin Flurry statue is the GOAT.

Both of those red figs are really great in their own ways.

nice collection bro... its hard to find that red XIII & catsith
Cool collection 🔥

I still have some of mine, tifa and sephiroth have the best looks still but they are definitely old and played with
I’ll never understand why Barret Cid & Cait Sith were never made, especially given how popular the game was back in the 90’s
Cait Sith!! I’ve wanted that figure for a long time.
I hope they do a lot more merchandise with him for Rebirth! 😁 Can't wait to add the low poly figure of him to the collection.
4:17 my play arts tifa did the same...both arms arent olding up
As much as I keep complaining about the Play Arts Kais, I have to admit they are miles better than the Play Arts. 🙃
They are better for sure. tho...the OG play arts overall look and sculpt, as its own charm.
In Advent Children I don't think he has a Moogle
He actually rides on Nunaki in the movie for the little bit of screen time he had lol

Very awesome collection 👍💯
Thank you, Jesus! 🤩
Hey, which figure is that Sephiroth with the flame effect as the base? @14:20
If you mean the big one, that's a Static Arts from 2009. 😁 The smaller one that also has a flame base is a Static Arts Bust from 2017. 🔥

Cait sith?
Yep. 8:58
Cloud, red13 and yuffie have yet to be topped yet. I personally think vol1 playarts cloud is the best you will get. The bring arts one is mid.
I...hmmm..am I the only one who finds that both cloud amiibo look vastly superior compared to this cloud figure? Thats shocking! :0
Oh, I agree! I would definitely rank all the Amiibos above any Play Arts. 😅
