I miss the days when they were just Play Arts: high quality, but also affordable figures. Even the early PAK toys were decently priced compared to the incredible prices we see nowadays.

I have, in no particular order: Lightning (FFXIII), Lightning (FFXIII-2), Odin (FFXIII - the transforming one), Cloud (Dissidia), Gabranth (Dissidia), Tron Riku (Kingdom Hearts 3D), Ezio (Assassin's Creed 2), Armored Batman (Arkham City), and Ichigo Kurosawa (Bleach). I also have a large number of FF and KH figures from the Play Arts days.

I've had a couple of quality "issues". By far the most were with Ezio, who originally was missing his sword. The store I bought it from then had to reorder it to get a replacement, so two weeks later I finally got my toy. Then his leg fell off. Fortunately it was in such a way that I was able to fix it with super-glue. The most distressing, however, was with Ichigo, whose arm broke. I fixed it, but he no longer has an articulated elbow. I've had annoyances with Odin as well, but for a toy that big and fully featured they are minor issues: the stand has had to be super-glued in place for robot mode, but he stands fine on four legs in horse mode; Lightning's hands don't really work to hold the weapons for full-gestalt mode; his torso once broke in a similar fashion to the issue I had with Ezio, but again it was fixable easily with super-glue. I think the Ezio leg and Odin torso issues are examples of the glue used in the factory failing as they were both fixable without impinging on the functionality of the toys.

In general I very much enjoy my PAK figures, but there are price and quality concerns. When you get a good quality one, though, they really blow other figures out of the water. The sculpting, paintwork, and articulation are top notch. I just wish we could still get the slightly smaller, more affordable figures we did in the PA days.
