The Play Arts Kai Thread

[davieanix]

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.

This is true. The price increases have been tough. Even when I bought my Ryu, he was $60 or so. Guile was $110. Rorschach was $160.

Big fan of the line but haven't strayed too far beyond the Halo figures. They are all awesome but the one gripe is the way the gun attaches means the peg is likely to break if they fall.

Agreed on the stands. Recently got DC Kai Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman figures and the stands are no better than they used to be. One of mine snapped within a few days. They're only serviceable if ur happy with the figures standing elevator style

Wanted to try the Mass Effect ones but reviews and pics of Male Shepherd were so bad I stayed away. Kind of regretting it but QC issues plagued Tali and Garrus too.

The recent DC figures were all pretty great and I'd get more but I try my best to have avert focused collection habit so won't get too many more. I generally stick to the Halo ones but at the moment am looking for the Play Arts deus ex Jensen and Vanquish figures but other than that, have to stay away as appealing as they are

Collect mostly the Batman line, so Arkham Asylum/City/Origins and Joker and Batman from The Dark Knight/Rises, all great, the only problem I've ever had was my Joker has 2 left feet

Arkham City Catwoman is a beautiful figure, highly recommended!

Also have Raiden from MGR, he is AWESOME!

But yeah, the price now prevents me from buying anymore, I really wanted Deathstroke and Batman from Arkham Origins, but at $150 + it's just not affordable...

Has there been an explanation for the sudden increase in price??

Actually saw some of these in person when I was cruising around Akihabara. I had no idea they were so big! I'd like to like them, but the knees really put me right off.

Oh and the price.

Oh and a lot of the time the designs.

I have the alien colonial marine figures and I love the size and detail, have the new predator on pre order, can't wait for that and the variant. The new Darth Vader looks pretty awesome to.

I know what you mean. They just don't paint darker skin tones well. Commander Shepard and Ashley both look like they have black eyes.

I really want to collect the Final Fantasy characters... But not till I slow down my TF MP's collection

And yeah wow the prices are pretty nuts.

Just got the classic Predator, and while he is aaaaaamazing, of course there are QC issues. His right arm already has stress marks on the ball joint (and I am very very careful with these), as well as the hose on his other arm was about ready to break off. Thankfully some superglue fixed that, but still, this dude was $180! I shouldn't need to be doing any fixing or worrying that things may break.

I really don't know why these figures are so high priced. Some of the new Marvel ones are over $200, some even $250! It's not the Aussie dollar either as the increase is even in places like BBTS. Maybe I'm just a sucker for continuing to buy them

I'm not a Star Wars fan but the Darth Maul looks fantastic too!

Anyone after Dante and Nero from Devil May Cry 4?

[davieanix]

Anyone know where I may be able to get Ignis from Final Fantasy XV?

I had him and Galdiolus ordered from.... that company.... and I have sourced a Gladiolus, but I need Ignis to complete the 4 main guys.

eBay is filled with knock offs too.

Any help would be great!
