CLOUD AND FENRIR *updated 10/23*

Last Saturday i got this Final Fantasy Advent Children Figure from Ham, a seller at BIDSHOT.COM, It's a full scale version of Cloud and his bike the FENRIR, and you know how much this Collectible is? haha! SECRET! Today im going to tell you all about this nice thing, its positive and negative side, articulation, posability, etc. havent got clear pics, but i'll provide some from the net, so heres my impression about this collectible:






















P
ackaging : Man, the freakin' thing is huge, even if you dont open the goods, the box has all of its sides open so that you could see the insides with no hassle, it's a good thing coz if you are not planning in displaying it outside of the box, many could still admire it while boxed up, the only problem i got with the box is the fact that its easy to get damages from the sides, what i could suggest is that try to cover it up with a clear plastic and place it on safe rack, all in all its a good deal for the box..

























Figure/Articulation/Representation: The figure itself, Cloud Stri
fe, is already a good deal, if you've seen FFVII:AC, this is a dead-on likeness of our main protagonist, so its a good thumbs up for our hero here, articulation is good though, but limited, it could have been nice to see the torso a bit more articulated, just like the figures on the Marvel Legends Line up, still you would be able to pose Cloud with all his glory. The representation is already a perfect one for me, if only the makers of this collectible included the whole assortment of Clouds First Tsurugi (translated as "First Sword" in English) then this would be the ultimate bad-ass toy... hope they make an assortment.









































































Bear with me, my shot are a bit way off, im using my MOTOROLA V3i!!


Overall impression: I recommend this to all that loves FFVII:AC, though there are some minor setbacks, its still the best collectible that represented this one of a kind hero, also try to look up for the other PLAY ARTS Figures, i'll post them as soon as i get each and one of them!

Oh and by the way, a friend of mine informed me this, BEWARE of
BOOTLEG versions of this toys, if you are going to buy in COMIC ALLEY, COMIC ODDYSSEY, DATAVENTURE, look at the figures thouroughly, if you are uncertain about the figures that you are looking, check the figures itself, loose part s, different color scheme, remember guys, japanese toys are so into details and paints, so please be ahead and use your brain, if you are not satisfied by the looks then dont buy it, i do recommend going to Virra Mall San Juan, but i am not assuring any particular store but Vira Mall would be a safe bet to get the originals, ok guys?

Also try BIDSHOT.COM!!
