He's $80 on amiami so not as terrible price wise. But honestly with how perfect the aesthetic is in this line so far i think its worth getting them, especially if you're a big fan of the series. I missed out on sephiroth the first time around but I'm for sure getting the reissue once its announced.

I've wanted this figure since 1997. My brother and I saved up money all summer and fall doing chores, forgoing trips to the mall and movies and finally, we were able to buy a Playstation. This was my favorite game for years and years and I've always wanted a 6" action figure to add to the shelf. Then they announced him and I immediately knew I'd never own one. First, the price point. Unreal. Second, the extreme lack of accessories. For $130, he should come with, at minimum, multiple face plates. Standard, stern, smirk, yelling. The buster sword is the most iconic, but he has a ton of awesome weapons that should be included as well, at the very least the Ultima weapon. Then there's the realization that every figure is gong to be $130. Even if I just wanted Cloud and Sephiroth, that's already half way to a PS5. But we're collectors, we can't just stop at 2. Barret, Tifa, Aeries, Red XIII and the rest, all are necessary at the end of the day. At the end of the day... this release was heartbreaking. Maybe Jada will somehow get the license and do more for $25 than Square is willing for $130.

I feel like im watching the death of a company in real time

How the actual FUCK do these mediocre looking figures cost literally twice as much as sh figuarts figures? Square must be trying to kill this line. They did exactly the same thing with the play arts kai line. They used to sell for $40, and then they were like $150-200

I agree with all the faults but am also glad to have an OG Cloud figure in 1/12 scale and can't wait for the other characters. It is sad that SquareEnix doesn't offer these figures at a lower price range, but I understand they are a business and taking full advantage of owning the figure rights. Hopefully we will get Chrono Trigger figures in this scale!

Oh wow finally we get a 6in cloud! Dream come true. But that price pt...

For Everyone's information, If I were you I will wait after the wave ends. Bring arts has a habit of after 1-2 years it will go down in price talking like 60 to 70 bucks. Highly recommended to wait instead, Patient is the key

Really nice Figure but come on Bring arts, no swappable heads for 130usd $ Damn

If this cost 30 dollars I would buy it and feel pretty good about it

This should be at most 19.99$usd

I collect the PAKs, so this isn't for me, but it's still disappointing how this figure doesn't 100% capture the original. It just looks like some kid's fan art. I like the filming setup btw. Colors look great, good lighting, nothing washed out. Very easy to appreciate the subtleties of the figure.

Thanks for the review

i think thats the current buster sword that Cloud use during the FF7 game.. the buster sword has teared weared and rusted during Zack's final stand so...

Bring Arts is notoriously overpriced and low quality, they've had all the same issues with previous figures hell they've lowered in quality lately, comparing what I've seen of cloud to bring arts I own like, Fei Fong Wong who went for 6,800 yen back in 2018 his articulation is pretty horrendous, honestly one of the worst figures I've owned, the legs keep popping off and it happens so much that the legs get looser and looser to the point where a piece of paper can stand vertically better, although he comes with an alt head, 9 pairs of hands, and an accessory, QC was bad too, another bring arts that I can actually praise now is the Weltall Bring Arts he retailed for 8,800 yen in 2019 and his articulation is honestly, much much better, double jointed legs just a fantastic figure, so big and heavy, he came with 10 pairs of hands, and 2 swappable die cast feet to balance, honestly one of my favorite figures, its just a horrible thing to see Square just gatekeep their licenses and force people who want figures of their characters to pay this amount of money for such low quality, hell they are releasing Red XIII, Barret, and Sephiroth for the same price and all of which look mediocre in articulation Red XIII especially being egregious for having nothing and being so small for that price. sorry if this sounds like such a long rant but as someone who collects figures and merch who also loves something niche like Xenogears, Square has really been giving everyone the short end of the stick with overpriced model kits and figures and a bad selection of characters, they will gatekeep their licenses whether they will milk the license or keep it dead only for a quick anniversary merch release, they will do anything to get as much money as possible from the franchise, hell they even started making nendoroid like figures. I'm just gonna stop the rant here it's getting too long. TLDR Square stinky doo doo.

Are those eyes decals?

Is the digital code in the box?

Donkey Kong size comparison :D

i hope one day the rules wil changes about high taxes and crap... just like Amazing Yamaguchi :( so sad that they are always sooo expansive...

79.99 would have been perfect for what you actually get

I wonder if bring arts are going to do the remake figures? anyone knows if their coming?

I want but not for the price ugh

I feel like many of your complaints about the articulation design aren’t really warranted. Most of the design is fairly solid just nothing special. The hips falling off at this price point I agree is bad but ball hinges aren’t that bad in terms of design and the shoulders and shoulder pad are designed about as well as they can be. Also; Ball pegs and ball hinges are two separate things. This figure has both so it can kinda confusing when you’re explaining the articulation.

Bring arts has been around since 2017

It was 12000 yens now is 25000

Jump ball is sucks always broken ... i prefer statues of pvc / abs ... cool figure but to expensive to break

Manwehile this year i got the Cloud and fenrir from gametoys, which is killing it (Yeah, i understand theres a huge price gap... but come on, if you are to pay 180 for this, rather go for the big stuff), but it is stupid how much love and details you can get from a 3rd party, and meanwhile, these are the official ones... I got this ordered too and man, it feels bland. I still want them because of the more "classic" look, but come on... square enix is full of shit.

This looks so bad tbh. $130 for this garbo is beyond me

What a way to screw up such a great design

I bought this figure, it looks nice but you were way too nice towards the articulation. It's horrendous. I can barely move the legs before they pop off the pegs and the waist swivel sucks too. Literally every other import company; sentinel, figuarts, mafex, yamaguchi, even fucking Figma have superior articulation and cost half what this shit does. Plus those companies actually pack accessories with their stuff too. Square easily could have included a ton of alternate weapons for the outrageous price they're charging. It sucks they have a stranglehold on the these lines of figures because literally any other company could do better for half the cost. But if you want figures of the FFVII characters you literally have no other choice. Pro tip - these are priced around $80 in Japan. Even with shipping, it's still cheaper than the $130 domestic shops are selling them for. Import and save some money on these lazy pieces of crap.

Not worth the price omg.

not even sh monsterarts is this nasty
