Unboxing and Assembly | Final Fantasy VII Remake: Cloud Strife on Hardy-Daytona Statue by SHK Studio

[@marnellyabut5705]

Awesome unboxing and assembly..this will definitely come in handy. Thank you

[@khitosan]

It bloody massive!! But it’s so cool awesome video my dude

[@trentontosser8337]

thanks for this unboxing video i just got my hands on this piece 😍

[@gameoverjak2029]

Thanks for checking the video out! It's an awesome piece, surprised you managed to get hold of one :) hope you like it!

[@Konuvis]

thank you so mush for the assembly! I was tearing my hair off. This thing so so freaking heavy!

[@gameoverjak2029]

No problem at all, as soon as I seen there was no assembly instructions I made sure to push this video out as fast as I could to help people out with it :) You're right though it is insanely heavy, I had to reinforce my cabinets to get it on a higher shelf because of the weight.

[@Konuvis]

@@gameoverjak2029 Yeah I was about to make a video and then I found yours :)

[@gameoverjak2029]

@@Konuvis great minds think alike it would seem! I'm still planning to do my review for the statue when I get a chance, got about 4 statues due to arrive between now and the end of October so I need to get a move on haha!

[@Konuvis]

@@gameoverjak2029 Yeah I should be getting F4F Dracula, Sonic and Tails and maybe Tsume's Berserk soonish.... yikes!

[@gameoverjak2029]

@@Konuvis that's a pretty solid lineup! The Sonic and Tails one looks incredible but I haven't seen the Tsume Berserk line myself. I think I have roughly 25 statues on preorder at the moment, got Spyro Reignited F4F, Artisan mini F4F, Baldur Prime 1 and Johnny Silverhand Pure Arts on the way though :)

new subscriber brother, awesome piece...love from Canada

[@gameoverjak2029]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! The review for this piece will be going up in around 2 weeks, wanted to work on a comparison video for that and another Cloud that released around the same time and it finally arrived :)

[@3zzy_2pz]

nice unboxing! waiting for your review on this statue! :D

[@gameoverjak2029]

Working on the review now as well as 4 others :) hopefully will be able to upload a bit more consistently very soon

[@eufrosniad994]

Great guide for unboxing and putting it together. May I also ask what you use as the turntable? Would like to know since it seems capable of taking that weight and still operating smoothly.

[@gameoverjak2029]

Thank you for checking it out :) it's just a simple one from Amazon, I wouldn't recommend it however because I take about 5-10 minutes of footage for the spinning sections of the videos simply because it doesn't run as smoothly as I'd like and I need to cut a fair bit in the edit to make it smooth. I have been looking to upgrade the turntable though and this is the one I'm looking at: fotoconic Black Electric Motorized Rotating Turntable Display Stand, 24 60cm Diameter, 80kg Centric Loading for Shop Display www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08B85QPQ3/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_ZCJFA6498NDHABWCY5NY Hope that helps :)

[@crankyboiy]

Bang for your buck piece. 👌

[@gameoverjak2029]

Couldn't agree more!

[@visionstudiomy]

very nice

[@J-T29]

Can't wait for mine from FNC. I'm in Canadaland so it'll be a while

[@gameoverjak2029]

I'm in Scotland so hopefully your one won't be too far behind :D

[@Konuvis]

I'm in Houston and just got mine.

[@J-T29]

@@Konuvis I got mine too, but one part came broken unfortunately. FNA asked SHK to look into it for me.

[@J-T29]

Lol still no word from SHK about my broken piece...

[@gameoverjak2029]

I only just seen these comments so sorry for the delayed reply! That absolutely sucks, I really hope they get back to you soon. Which part was it that was broken?

[@Cypher2Kill]

This statue is almost as impressive as the videogame it came from. Good unboxing, hope to see a review very soon! But I guess it's unlicensed, isn't it?! Still hoping Prime1 will make the FF7 line with at least Cloud, Tifa & Aerith.

[@gameoverjak2029]

Yeah sadly it is an unlicensed piece but I would love to see what a studio like Prime 1 Studio could do with a license for this franchise! But I absolutely love this statue, even though it's massive and almost doesn't fit in my display unit.

[@J-T29]

I want to see a Barrett too if P1 makes FFVII

[@gameoverjak2029]

@@J-T29 that would be amazing, would love to see the whole team in all honesty, just need a really wide display haha!

[@zeheero]

The only problem with this statue made by Prime 1 Studio, it would cost over $4000

[@gameoverjak2029]

Hahaha! This is very true, would still love to see it, even if it was a diorama like their Nier one. But yeah, the prices there have been getting a little out of hand. I plan to talk about that in an upcoming video, because of the shipping quote I got hit with.

[@DisneyNAW]

It all looks so loose when assembling. It doesn’t even look like you’re putting much force to make sure it all sticks together. Are the parts magnetized or something?

[@gameoverjak2029]

The parts are all magnetised :) it's the same with a lot of these large scale pieces

[@DisneyNAW]

@@gameoverjak2029 cool. I’m thinking of getting one (no clue where to find one, but baby steps). How heavy/fragile is it???

[@gameoverjak2029]

It's very heavy, the base being the heaviest part, you can find pieces like this one on fanaticanimestore.com :) but be careful and check out the studios over on Facebook because they only show prototypes on FNC and the final product can come out very different, just depends on the studio. They can be fragile but if they're simply display pieces not out in the open you'll have no problems :)

[@DisneyNAW]

@@gameoverjak2029 but why would they look different? Isn’t it the same thing?

[@gameoverjak2029]

It's not no, because they're unlicensed and they come out of China they can end up using cheaper materials and it's the faces that can end up looking forward long the worst, this one came out great but there's an abundance of Tifa statues that have released in a terrible state.

[@ariell7538]

How can i buy ?

[@gameoverjak2029]

Check out the fanaticanimestore website :) I think they still have a few in stock!

[@Dashmiello]

How much where these selling when released?

[@gameoverjak2029]

I want to say around $399-499 before shipping

[@Dashmiello]

@@gameoverjak2029 thanks as I saw one selling $950 with shipping so now sure. Thank you

[@gameoverjak2029]

@@Dashmiello that's a bargain price! I sold mine for $1500 including shipping just last year

[@Dashmiello]

@@gameoverjak2029 oh great thanks. Is he not worth keeping?

[@gameoverjak2029]

@@Dashmiello he absolutely is but at the time he looked really odd in my set up with all the other taller statues. I'd say it's on par with the PPS Cloud
