Square-Enix "stealthily" released the official photos of the new Play Arts Shin action figure of Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII.
This is probably the best version of Lightning. Everything looks really great. Her "half-cape" or mantle is now a real wired cloth instead of plastic that looks like a big bacon that she wears on her back in her Dissidia version.
The details are great. Lightning's top looks like it's made of real cloth. Still this figure suffers from ugly elbow joints.
When it comes to articulation. I think it's kinda the same to her Dissidia version. I don't know if SQEX implemented a new joint system on this figure. Knee joints are ugly as always.
This new Play Arts Shin Lightning action figure have a nice amount of accessories. An upgrade on her Dissidia version. She got two versions of her Gunblade (gun and sword mode). For interchangeables, she got an extra smirking face/head sculpt and a total of nine extra interchangeable hands. She also got a small stick-like thing. This is probably the tool to adjust Lightning's eyes.
The price of the Final Fantasy XIII Play Arts Shin action figure of Lightning is around $163.00 to $220.00 (approx. Php.9,400.00 to Php.12,600.00). Prices depend on the store (online/retail). From the cheapest price, I think the price is good enough, because of the materials and amount of plastic used in this figure. The question is: should I buy one? Right now, it's hard to answer that question LOL. I like this new Lightning action figure and I want to have one. But I currently don't have any cash to spend on toys. My money is for buying to very important stuff. So I hope the stock of this toy don't run out fast as soon as it gets released on October 2025.
Cheers and Happy Collecting!
More Lightning!
