Today's figure is the Advent Children version of Sephiroth. I would have preferred to keep with the game versions of the characters but i couldn't see one of those at the time, instead i settled for one based on the Advent Children Sephiroth. This figure (in my opinion) isn't too different from the game version of
(if at all), which is part of the reason i didn't mind buying it. Again this is an Ebay purchase and therefor the box is a little bit battered up (which i'm not best pleased about) but the figure itself is mint.
The figure stands at about 9" and is very highly detailed his long coat is flexible at the bottom allowing it to move a little, rather than it being rigid and probably breakable. As i mentioned before, this figure is from the
range but it looks just like the game version of Sephiroth (in my opinion) if there are any differences they are barely noticable. The figure comes with spare hands and the infamous Masamune sword, which is a staggering 10" I have him holding it in a way that in my opinion looks as though he's thinking about slicing you up with his sword of utter destruction.As with the other Play Arts figures, it has many points of articulation, once again allowing for him to be posed in a variety of different ways. As i've mentioned, i wanted him to look menacing, because let's face it... He is! I would rate this guy as my favourite Bad Guy in a game, or one of the top few if not.
The quality and feel of the actual figure is once again second to none, it feels weighty and expensive and definately doesn't feel like it'd break if you dropped it (definately wouldn't recommend trying it though!) I would definately recommend these Play Arts figures to anyone who is serious about collecting the figures. You'll definately not be disappointed!
I'm not as impressed with the box for this figure as i have been with the Play Arts Vol.1 Figures i have . It seems a lot cheaper than the others, the cardboard seems a bit more flimsy, there isn't any silvered fancy lettering and the black is more of a cheap glossy looking black rather than the nice matt black that the Play Arts Vol.1 Figures had. The back of the box once again has a few pictures of Sephiroth, which could maybe give you some ideas on how to pose the figure and a small diagram on how to set up the base (which is very simple), the base is a black oval, the same as the other figures i have reviewed, this oval has an adjustable clip slot into it to hold the figure. This allows your figure to stand very very stable and it also allows you to pose them to a certain extent.
So all in all, other than the packaging, this figure is amazing and i would recommend it to everyone who is interested in collecting figures from the game/s.
