[Toy News] Play Arts Kai Figures of 2013

Play Arts Kai logo by Square-Enix

Square-Enix is at work with lots of PAK figures. Most of them are from other titles like Halo, Tekken, Batman, Metal Gear, etc. This is great, but they kinda neglecting their own titles when it comes to action figures. At least they made new figures from Kingdom Hearts 3D and Final Fantasy VII.

Here are the list of the upcoming PAK figures for 2013 (or 2014?) that appears on my radar. Some of them have confirmed release month. I'm not a hardcore PAK collector, I just want to get the figures from games/movies that I know and like. I also like cool-looking figures :D

[Toy Review] Kairi Kingdom Hearts 2 Play Arts

I went to the mall to sell some Pokemon cards then go home... well that's the original plan... but in some sort of impulse, me and my friend went to another adventure to find action figures. During our search, my friend stumbled upon this authentic Kairi figure. I don't want to spend cash at that time, but I can't let this one pass... This Kairi figure is now RARE and the market is plagued with bootlegged Play Arts/Kingdom Hearts figures then my friend is like a devil that tempted me to buy this figure and he knows my whole collection checklist... Darn it! But that's OK, I thought she's going to be expensive but I got her in mint condition and for a very LOW price. For its rarity, I'll say that this is a steal.

[Toy Review] Catwoman Batman: Arkham City Play Arts Kai

Hello, Batman fans, and cat lovers like me! I got a nice treat for ya... It's a Play Arts Kai figure of Selina Kyle A.K.A. Catwoman from an awesome game Batman: Arkham City. I still haven't played the game, I'll be picking up the Game of the Year version soon. All I know is that she is a burglar/heroine that has a complicated relationship with Batman (according to the short bio in the figure's box). I got this for cheap in a reputable store... sweet deal :D . And she's the first non Final Fantasy figure I got.

And because she wears an all-black suit, I will be using white background for the figure's pictorial.

Doomsday Scenarios

The end of the world is drawing near, yet I don't believe in this upcoming end. There are lots of prophecies, most of them failed (remember the big end of the world scam of Harold Camping and his Family Radio) and others are yet to be proven.

Books and movies also plays a role in portraying the end of the world/humanity, and it's weird that most of the scenarios that the authors made are quite realistic and plausible.

Pokemon Cards For Sale!

Hi!

I'm selling these assorted Pokemon that I found in my room. No, they're not real Pokemon, they're trading cards. It's old school and all original.

What I'm selling include rare and holo-foil classic Pokemon and Trainer cards like: Mewtwo, Promotional Mews, Beedrills, Nidoqueens etc.

I decided to let go of these cards, because I don't have time playing them and there are no more challengers around my place.

Check out my online store for more details --> [Pokemon Cards For Sale!]

Cheers!

[Toy Review] Kadaj FFVII AC Play Arts

[Review Updated: 06-07-13]

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is the second CG movie Square created (first one kinda sucked). It's a graphically great movie with a good story. Well enough about that. What we're going to discuss about is this figure of Kadaj, the leader of the Remnants of Sephiroth and the main villain of the movie (Sephiroth is just an extra... an awesome extra).

Don't Be A Gaming Addict

I've just read from the news that a 24-year-old man from Thailand was found dead in front of his computer. He died in the middle of an all-night gaming marathon. Any kind of addiction is bad and gives different effects on our lives.

I've been playing video games since I was 5, and I'm aware of this stuff., so I'll give you guys some gaming tips (not game walkthroughs lol!)

[Toy Review] Lightning FFXIII-2 Play Arts Kai

[Review Updated: 06-07-13]

I always wanted to buy Square-Enix's Play Arts figures ever since it was first introduced years ago. But I don't have enough money to buy one during those years and it's hard to earn cash. Now those days are over and I finally got my first Play Arts (Play Arts Kai) figure.

[Toy News] Upcomming Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy Play Arts Kai Figures

Square-Enix made another set of Kingdom Hearts figures and it's from the Dream, Drop, Distance title for the Nintendo 3DS. Release date May 2013

So what's in the set? Well, TRON Legacy versions of Sora and Riku. Both of them will come with a pair of hands and 3 keyblades and I hope these figures will come with a stand. It costs $84. (Source: Play-Asia.com)

The other set is the default versions of Sora and Riku. I saw the unpainted prototypes in the photos taken from NYCC 2012 and toy forums.

It's cool that we're getting new KH figures. The question is, where's the KH Birth By Sleep figures?

Next will be on the Final Fantasy department.

The new figure is a character from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and it's the president of Shin-ra Electric Company, Rufus Shinra. I saw the prototype from the Comic Con photos. And within the SE booth, there's a "wall" there that probably teases another Cloud AC version figure. It makes me hesitant to get the old AC version of Cloud
