Final Fantasy VII - Aeris Gainsborough Play Arts Vol.1 #3

It's been a couple of days now (I think) so i think its about time i added another one of my figures to the blog. Today's installment as you will have noticed from the title is from the Play Arts Vol.1 Collection.
She was also purchased as part of a lot, alongside Cloud and Tifa, off of Ebay. Unfortunately it when it came in the staff had already been snapped at one end. The seller did mention that they thought it "might be broken at one end" but wasn't sure. They may have just been honest and said it was. Either way i got the set for a bargain and I'm sure one day I'll either replace the Staff or the whole figure. However, that being said there is nothing wrong with the figure at all.

She stands around the same height as Tifa at around 7.5" tall, which i think is a nice height for a figure for displaying. A major drawback to collecting figures is the amount of room you need to display them, but they're a nice size and shouldn't take up much room (without the stands). 
The figure, as i have said for the other figures, is very highly detailed and is based on the game version of the character. Once again, she has over 22 points of articulation, which allows for her to be posed in a few different ways. The legs aren't as easily moved as the other figures because her dress restricts the movement a fair bit. But that isn't really a problem.
As with the other figures, she comes with spare hands, she also comes with a staff (wouldn't be right if she didn't eh?) 

The packaging it comes in, is exactly the same as the other two figures in this volume but obviously with pictures of Aeris on it. It has lovely silvered lettering on the front of the box and has pictures of Aeris on the side and back of it. As usual it could give you a couple of ideas on how to pose her and at the bottom on the back of the box is a guide to how to set up the stand (really really simple), this brings me onto the stand once again, it is fantastic. As i mentioned for Cloud and Tifa, the stand is a black oval with a stem that slots into the base, this houses an adjustable metal clip to slot your figure into. I personally prefer these stands to the Play Arts Kai ones for FFXIII because they take up less room and are very sturdy.

Once again this figure is fantastic, i couldn't fault it if i am honest. I just wish the staff wasn't broken. I'll definately be getting more of the figures when i can. I have a few more to show you so keep an eye!
