Does the shoulder pad disconnect from the main model? Mine was damaged and Square has offered a replacement part but I’m reluctant to accept it unless the part can be safely removed without damaging the main model
@corydonclavoКүн бұрын
Oh, wow. What a strange offer. 🤔 Sadly, I have no idea. If I were you, I'd try to remove it before accepting this weird offer. If it doesn't come off safely, then document that and kindly request a full replacement or refund. 😬 I have not had the need to speak with SE customer support, so I can't say how they'll respond. 🤐 Good luck!

Hey whats the cheapest good cloud figure im not searching for something amazing and if possible under 40$
@corydonclavo8 күн бұрын
Oh, that depends on your definition of "good". One thing you could do is to go on eBay, search for something like "cloud figure final fantasy" and sort the results with "Price + Shipping: lowest first", and just start scrolling. Sadly, most results below $40 will be on the smaller side, since Square Enix figures are notoriously very expensive. 💰 You should be able to find a low poly figure of Cloud within your budget, which in my opinion is a must-have.

Thanks for the video! I probably won't get the Aerith figure now, my eyes will immediately go to the buttons now that you've mentioned it. In fact, you may have ruined her OG Nomura artwork for me as well. Thanks!
@corydonclavo13 күн бұрын
Well, darn. 😂 In defense of the artwork, I'd like to argue that there's nothing wrong with it. The buttons are there, they're just folded in towards her leg. It's the figure that interpreted the artwork in a weird way by simply saying "if we can't see the buttons, they don't exist".

@corydonclavo18 күн бұрын
Well, I will say that the people who are critical of this line are not wrong. If you compare them to other figure lines they are flimsy, loose, small and most of all way too expensive. 💰 I am very biased, considering I'm just really happy to add another FF7 figure to my growing collection, regardless of quality. I also don't compare them to other figures lines or think about the price while I'm unboxing them. Focusing more on my first impressions, which are usually pretty positive in the moment. The product would have to be very flawed for me to be negative about it. 🧐 If you're looking for a good quality, bang for your buck figure, don't buy the FF7 Bring Arts. If you're looking for good looking FF7 figures and can justify spending the ridiculous prices, it might just be the figure line for you! 😂 Sorry to confuse you, hope this clears it up a bit.
@theodorexenophon761220 күн бұрын
I kinda agree. I don't mind the quality as much, because the thing that most excites me is having the full crew in scale with one another and in their original art. The real hang up is the price. I've gottan a few on sale, but I just can't justify getting all of them, which defeats the purpose of them all being in scale with each other. I think 40-50 would've been fine but even the cheapest i could manage was 70ish which is definitely pushing it.

Excellent review! Random question for you since I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. Does the bike stand for Roche’s bike (to go vertical) work with the hardy bike? For years I’ve been scratching my head on how to give cloud a dynamic pose with the bike lifted, and it seems like that could be it.
@corydonclavo23 күн бұрын
I'm afraid not. Roche's and the trooper's bike both have holes in them at the bottom for the vertical stand to slot into and the Hardy Daytona does not. The Hardy Daytona is also much, much heavier. I go into some of these details in another video where I do a size comparison with all the bikes in my collection.

@corydonclavoАй бұрын
I think the main reason why I'm so focused on/obsessed with how he looks in the 'Re-trilogy' is because, in my mind, Remake-Cloud should be the ultimate Cloud. An accurate Cloud, but better, if you get what I mean. Cloud has always been my favorite fictional character. He has been my favorite since before I knew anything about him. So in a way I've liked the details of his design long before I liked his personality or story. 🤫 But I have to say, I think how he looks in Rebirth is a huge improvement from Remake. His pants look waay better and I've somewhat grown to accept his new hair. I doubt he will change much in part 3. 🤭 OG design will sadly remain the best. Sorry for my late reply.

@corydonclavo2 ай бұрын
Yes, but the main reason why I have a lot of figures (49, currently) of him is because Square Enix has released a lot of figures of him. And since I'm collecting every licensed figure from OG & R, the amount of figures does not necessarily correlate with how much I like the character. As an example I have 31 Tifa figures and 24 Aerith figures, but I actually like Aerith a tiny bit more. 🤓
