[General Discussion] FFVII Compilation Thread

Tiamat has always been a she. Check myths about her and crap:

Tiamat is the primordial mother goddess in Babylonian and Sumerian mythology, and a central figure in the Enûma Elish creation epic. She was known as Thalatth in the Hellenistic Babylonian Berossus' first volume of history.

She is usually personified as a multi-headed dragon. FFVIII was the first FF game in which she only has one head. She is also featured in Dungeons and Dragons.

Of course, it may not apply to the FF Tiamat as her gender has never been mentioned, I don't think.

I've had Cloud for ages and posed him quite a bit, and he is still in one damn piece. I dunno. Maybe I'm careful or just got a good Cloud batch? Who knows. I don't have Auron so I have no comments about him. I hope the price increase isn't too much.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The Mechanical Arts series is a different line of products. They're basically small sized versions of various FF vehicles and things, such as the Fenrir and Kadaj's bike to name a few. The pic shows MA Fenrir and PA Cloud, just so you can see how much smaller the MA vehicles are. I think the pic is cute, 'cause it reminds me of those cartoons where clowns come out from a really tiny car at a circus.

I don't know why they bothered making one of Fenrir though, when there's already a full sized version available. I also have the Cloud+Fenrir kit too, and it's one sweet-ass bike. I'm glad I have it. I just love cleaning that thing.

Ah well, back to my chores. I'm in the middle of making dinner.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hey yeah, the custom Yuffie has a more upbeat face befitting her personality, but the official one is good too. I don't like her enough to warrant getting her though.

Can't wait to see the prototypes on display at the party! I want to see closeups of Reno.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Ah, it's good to be back here. Check these out:




It'd be better if Reno had a smirk or a smile or SOMETHING, but heck, it's still awesome.

I was speaking idiomatically.

$37 US each? Ouch. Kinda steep for such small things. I don't see any reason to get Fenrir either since you can get the much bigger (and better) one.

Cloud was already short in FFVII though, being less then 5ft, but he was about the same size as Reno in AC.... I think the fact that the Reno fig looks bigger is due to perception. He is in the foreground after all.

Most amazing jew boots

Not interested in Yuffie, Nanaki, Barret and such.

Although MP Cloud looks cool and all, the uber high price tag scares me. At least it's not over $500 like it was supposed to be initially though.

Coincidentally, I had a dream last night and Seph was in it...

FELIPE NO

Do they separate into the 6? I'd get it if they did.

Actually that was in CAD

Still expensive :D You can prolly get an actual figure for that amount.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I listened to the two tracks last night and I quite enjoyed the CC theme. It seems somewhat, but not exclusively, laid-back. Like Slayer X, I wasn't quite expecting that sort of music, but it I think it fits Zack.

I didn't think much of the LO Remix though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's too bad about the bike. I'd so get that if one was in the works. :D

Looking forward to getting that sword!

So apparently they're gonna be making more figures, like Barret, Fran and even Nanaki. Hopefully they'll make one of Rude to go with Reno, and more FFVIII figs as they're only three so far.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow, didn't realize those were out. The packaging looks sweet! It's too bad I already spent too much this month, but importing is pretty expensive anyway. YA has them for like, over $50! Do you know when the American versions are coming? At least they're much easier on the wallet.

P.S. Has there been any word for CC Play Arts? They better make one of Zack, him being my favourite FFVII character and all :/

How ya doing, buddy?

Wow, it's out already in America? When did it come out in Japan?? So much for keeping on top of things. There's space for one more PlayArts on my cabinet, so I'll snag Kadaj. If I had more space for figs, I'd get Reno too : /

The Nanaki figure looks really good from the scans. Every furry fan would probably want it.

More figs should let you place weapons on their backs! Makes it less likely to lose them.

No Zack :(

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

For those who want to see, I found a nice big closeup of Masterpiece Cloud's face.



Not bad at all, compared to the older pics I've seen. Too bad it costs an arm and two legs though.

Here's the box:
