PAK General/Rant

PAKs are fucking shit, from sculpting to painting to pricing. Designs are also trash unless you want edgelord stuff

I only have PAK Miku. I actually really like her for... reasons.

The new Nomura Harley actually looks kind of cool too. Very expensive though.

Only PAKs I own are Jensen and SS Venom Snake. Both are pretty neat figures, especially Jensen.

Thinking of picking up the H2 Master Chief.

Pre-ordered that Harley because I own every other PAK Harley, RIP Wallet. AT least I'll group ship with Figma Tracer. Also here's a good PAK

Never bought a PAK, though, I've liked what I've seen from some (weeped about how the FFXV ones turned out. But, that may all change very soon now that I have beheld this (which might actually be bring arts instead?)

Cloud's Advent Children figure turned out pretty darn well, so a version that has goggles to obscure some of the trickier details for the PAK sculptors and a FULLY realized Fenrir is very tempting. Advent Children was just a fun ride from my childhood, never imagined this would happen for some strange reason.

What makes you think that would be Bring Arts? It clearly says PAK on the little label descriptor thing there. If you want it in a smaller scale, though, there's always the original Play Arts version of the same thing. They've got regular FFVII Cloud with the Hardy Daytona motorcycle too, if you prefer the look of Cloud's original design and an actual real looking motorcycle

I have a few from the original play arts range, and one PAK.

The original play arts figures are pretty cool, got Aerith, Tifa and Sephiroth and they all look good.

I also have Ibuki PAK and she's not so great, way too big, hard to pose and has none of the character's personality from the games.

I have high hopes for Bring Arts tho, would love some 1/12 scale final fantasy figures and it would be great if we get some Nomura versions of superheroes in that scale too.

i would totally buy them if they were Bring Arts and cheaper

PAK stands are shit for the price of the figures

It's become almost an inside joke that showcases the worst Nomura could come up with.

The ones from the metal gear line are "pretty good"

I'll admit I never payed attention to that part of the picture, but after posting I did remember reading it was PAK elsewhere and was too lazy to "edit" the post.

I've done my research on the other Cloud figures with a bike. I'd probably get the Daytona, but I want a fully functional Fenrir. It's not that I want it smaller, just mental laziness with my post there.

I love those designs, I wish that there was a Bootleg Tetsuya Batman because it's really expensive and don't sant to pay that much for it. I'm buying the FF VII ones though.

I have MGR Raiden and he's really good I think, especially since PAK prices were more reasonable then, now he'd probably be like $100+

I also have Jensen but his foot broke off and I don't know how to fix it

>PAK stands are shit for the price of the figures
Yes, I finally got around to opening a couple of my boxed PAK's I had in storage, and HOLY SHIT THESE STANDS SUCK MAJOR DICK.

You can't even use them for characters with the stupid plastic non-articulated capes. I thought it might just be something the older figures came with and maybe they included better stands with the newer releases. Nope, Joker Batman came with the exact same retarded stand. They should have some sort of stand that plugs into the back where the cape attaches, or maybe a short one with a really wide base that can attach to the lower leg of the figure.

I also cannot see how people pay the current prices for the new PAKs, the price increase is crazy unwarranted. The quality has not improved to the point they should be charging $200 for a $80 figure.

Is there any chance they made PAK type-0? I really want to rem
