Grabbing this, thanks for the heads up. The Cloud Jessie bike combo is like 400 but I dont need the Cloud so this is good for me.

Didn't care for the remake but did love what they did with Jessie.

She definitely looks great here.

I didn't like the original as much as the rest of the world, but the remake was aces to me. Yeah Jessie is a cool homie and I'm going to put my other new fave (cause of the remake) Tifa on the bike with her as besties.

It's very close to the same, based on looking at a lot of available options. It's about $10 cheaper than Amazon.

The main thing stopping me from buying this (from anywhere) is that I already have Jessie. I do want the bike, but do I $200 want it? Would I be able to recoup anything selling my extra Jessie? I don't know. I'm prioritizing other things.

That Aerith is tempting, but I think Cloud/Barret/Tifa is enough for my little FF7 display for now

This, plus I really want Vincent Valentine in this style. There are a bunch more characters I would buy if offered, but those are the top two.

The other day I finally caved in and bought Rufus and Reno from Nin-Nin. I want to get Rude too, but he's basically low priority due to being easily obtainable at pretty low prices pretty much everywhere. I really wasn't going to be all-in on this toy line, but it's getting to the point where I practically am. Part of it is that Rebirth expanded the roles of Rufus and his henchmen pretty significantly over the previous game, and now I like them more.

So far I've at least resisted buying every outfit for every character.


Side note: I'm sure I've mentioned this in the past... I have a weird relationship with video games in general. I don't play many of them. My memories of the original FF7 all come from chilling on the couch watching my brother play through it. I have replicated this experience with the remake games by watching cutscene compilations on YouTube. It's kind of liberating recognizing that I don't care much about playing it myself. I'm mostly just in it for the cool art, and by extension, the cool toys.

Yeah, I feel you. I started out and was only going to get the main crew, but Jessie’s expanded role made her an easy pick up. I’ve resisted the Turks so far, but if they make a Cissnei and Elena figure, then I’ll be in for the whole group.

I avoided picking up the dress versions of Tifa and Aerith, mostly because I am holding to just a single version of each character.

e: also I’m in for a a Zack too, assuming they make him at some point.

Got my discount Beholder and Displacer Beast from Pulse.

The Beholder is great. It would be 100% better if it came with a floating stand though. Displacer is nice, if a bit wonky. The mid torso joint isn't great and I think the tentacles are just too long. Glad I didn't pay full price, but for 18 dollars its worth it.

I already got a shipping notice for Snout Spout!



I've been considering picking this one up too, if it pops up for a good price somewhere. I'm not sure if they used the actual same molds from remake Cloud, but it kinda looks like it. It's at least close enough in style to the remake figures that it should look nice next to them on the shelf.

I have the 1st Class version and it is different from Cloud in all of the places it's supposed to be. It does share a lot of parts but they are largely wearing the same clothes.

That's cool! To be clear I didn't mean it as a bad thing, I was actually hoping they came from the same molds, because it means they would completely fit together in terms of the style of the sculpt. A lot of PAK figures that aren't based on the same game have pretty different art styles, and my worry would be that they clash on the shelf and don't look like they belong in the same world. Those guys should look like two guys wearing variations of the same outfit, carrying basically the same sword. So reused parts is great news! I will need to track down a Zack.

Oh yeah, they totally fit together. They based it off the Crisis Core Remaster so the in game character model is basically(actually is?) the same as the Remake/Rebirth one, not the PSP one. The Buster Sword is the same as Remake Cloud’s, they didn’t make it the gold detailed version that actually appears in Crisis Core.

The weight on the displacer’s tentacles is astonishing too, they probably weigh more together than the rest of the cat. They really could’ve sized them down a bit and nobody would care. I love that you’ve gotta risk putting your fingers in the beholder’s mouth to move his eye though.

Same man.

Being Canadian, we tend to get our stuff to ship a week after Americans do. Happens to my orders.

When people were enjoying their Haslab HISS I was waiting for my shipping. I didn't get it until January after most everyone had it.

Kinda gave them poo poo during this which feel bad about but when you see everyone getting theirs and yours is not even shipped you begin to worry as the days tick on into weeks.
