Quick Look at this Final Fantasy Advent Children Shadow Creeper

I am getting really backed up on reviewing toys.  I'm not going to review Shadow Creeper because it is mostly a statue that I got to pose with my Yuffie I got a while back.  I only opened up this toy this year but I think it was well worth the $6 I paid for him from BigBadToyStore.com.  I think it looks good with the Advent Childen Play Arts and I wish there were more affordable monsters in the Play Arts Line.   

Play Arts Advent Children Tifa

Woo hoo!  Two blog posts in one day.   I think I'm only four posts (including this one) away from being caught up on all the toys I've opened so far.  

Anywho here is Paizuri... I mean Tifa from the Advent Children line of Play Arts.  I think I got really lucky on this figure.  When I got into toy collecting again I mainly collected Transformers so when I finally branched out and searched for Final Fantasy figures they costed a pretty penny.   Tifa was and is going for around $100 which is a ridiculous amount to pay.     So one day after coming back from my sweet heart and from Japan I searched for Play Arts characters on Ebay and I was surprised to find her for only $20 buy it now price!   Apparently the guy who was selling Tifa had to move really quick so he was trying to make some quick cash by selling his collection.  I wanted to buy more from him but the other auctions had gone up or I didn't want the others he was selling.   And yeah... I'm really happy about getting this toy for so "cheap"!

Enough bragging lets talk about this toy.    It's a great representation of Tifa from the Advent Children movie except for the face.   The toy doesn't look too much like the movie model but I can live with it.  I've seen a website tutorial about customizing the face to make her look more like the movie.  I think it involves cutting the bangs and giving her new eyes and lipstick.   

Final Fantasy X Play Arts Rikku

Whew I haven't posted on here in a while.    They changed the blogger set up so I'm a little confused.  

Anywho  I picked this up during the Christmas season for a good bit of money.   Something I normally wouldn't spend on a toy but I saw her going for fifty bucks on Amazon,  something I couldn't pass up at the time.   Rikku normally goes for close to a hundred dollars so I'm hoping this isn't a fake and that I got a lucky break on finding her.  

 

It's actually a smaller box than the Play Arts I have.   

Final Fantasy Play Arts Kai Vanille Review

Yay Joshin store again for having this cheap.  Vanille was marked down to ¥1800 compared to her normal ¥4000.   Compared to America over here the closest I can find her is on Amazon.com for $40.     I'm quite pleased with this purchase.   I haven't beaten FF XIII yet but from what I'm finding I like the cheerful characters in Final Fantasy.  They're going up against world threatening events and they also have a positive attitude.  Enough rambling here at some pictures for you to decide if you want to spend the money on her. 

Play Arts Final Fantasy VIII Selphie Review

Play Arts Selphie came out a while ago and in America you can find her, and other Final Fantasy Play Arts figures, for $20+ online and in stores.  When I was shopping around for toys in Japan I found her for ¥1000.  I'm happy I snagged her for that price because I can now make a Final Fantasy team on my desk.
