    Still waiting on their Yuna, which they put up six months before Aerith.

    It just takes too long to release figures to warrant them constantly going back to Cloud. It's been like three, four years since they first showed off Tifa. In the meantime they've showed/teased Noctis, Aerith, Vincent, Yuna, AC Sephiroth, AC Tifa, Dress Cloud, Trooper Cloud, 2B and they're the...

    Where did you hear this? Everything up til now has suggested this is the standard 1st Class outfit, exactly what Zack wears just on a smaller body.

    No, she does a three point superhero pose during starshower. This is her new synergy skill with Red XIII. That's why she's doing a cat pose.

    The Jack-O pose was damn near canonized lol. Someone at Square is a fan.

    The ACG Tifa just looks more like an actual person. I definitely think GameToys version looks more like Tifa, it's just a little on the cartoony side. GameToys made the same creative choice with Cloud and Sephiroth of scaling up their eyes from the game model, and it's a choice I agree with, it...

    I'd be too worried about the scale. The GT line feels underscaled. You'd hope that any other companies would do the sensible thing and make their own figures to match the GT precedent, but you can never count on that.

    Definitely don't understand the logic of another Zack but not another Cloud. But I also don't think most of these "teases" will ever see a release. The Grunt Cloud might get a release since it doubles as a generic Shinra Grunt, but I doubt that Wall Market Dress Cloud will ever make it to the...

    I need a Yuffie figure like Yuffie needs Materia.

    A machine can't achieve the same results. Faces are intricate and require precise painting, and every face is different and has different requirements. It's not all airbrush, either. Most the fine details are only attainable with a standard brush. This is just how these kinds of figures have...

    They're painted in the factory, by factory workers, with brushes. Some companies have started using dot matrix "painting," which is basically done by blasting color out of a specialized machine, but you can tell when something is painted that way because up close you can see the individual...

    Yeah, this is literally par for the course for hand painted mass produced heads. It looks completely fine. My "looking to the side" sculpt doesn't even look like he's looking to the side, they painted the eyes too close to forward facing compared to most the ones I've seen online. Stuff like...

    Each successive character in a line will sell less than the last, there's always a fall off. Some people who bought the first couple move on or don't see the need to buy a full cast of characters, while people who missed the first couple won't want the new ones (who loves Barret so much they'd...

    Anything that causes the material to expand or shrink will damage it. Nine times out of ten that's caused by bending the joints, since this stretches the material out of its natural cast shape (expanding it), but the environment can also damage it if the humidity and/or heat is too high, or too...

    There's nothing you can do to the figure itself to protect it from a humid environment, so the only option is to reduce the humidity of the environment its stored in, like keeping them in a room with a dehumidifier. But I wouldn't start to worry until you start to exceed 80% humidity and 75°F...

    If you're asking about whether the AC Cloud's arms might crack, that's just the risk with seamless bodies. There doesn't exist a seamless body on the market that's completely safe from cracking, but in my opinion the issue is overblown unless you're in an area of high heat and high humidity...

    Action Figure Final Fantasy VII Remake Collectibles

    Seamless arms might crack if you live in an area of high heat and high humidity, and/or if you leave them posed in a bent position for long periods of time. If you can manage to find a Gametoys Remake Cloud after all this time, he comes with a set of regular plastic jointed arms you can use...

    I think crackdowns like this are far more likely to occur when it's direct competition for something Square themselves produces. They produce lots of statues in-house. If they ever got into 1:6 scale figures they'd be much more inclined to chase down those manufacturers (not that they couldn't...

    There's been a couple teases over the past year or two. There was a render of a model based on his AC look but I can't find it at the moment, plus this shot of Vincent's red cloak from the staining test they did for AC Cloud. I think there was something more recent, too, but I only pop into the...

    If releasing a clothing set to turn AC Cloud into Remake Cloud allows them to satisfy people who missed out on Remake Cloud without delaying any real future releases, then that sounds like a good enough plan. I used to be in favor of a second batch of Cloud, but then it became clear how long...
