Square Enix Final Fantasy VII Remake Play Arts Kai Tifa Lockhart PVC Pre-Painted Action Figure

When I am writing a review I support myself with the help of a Google translator, so please be understanding for any stylistic and/or spelling errors.The photos used in the collages were taken by me in daylight using a Canon mirrorless camera. I had the white balance set to AWB.I bought the Tifa figurine through the Japanese Amazon in the Buurin-Japan store (We ship internationally), because in the store where I have been buying Play Arts Kai figurines so far, it was "sold out". This figurine with all fees cost me 13135 JPY (approximately 116 USD).SERIAL NUMBER: SZBJ202011 (the serial number is on the bottom of the box)JAN CODE: 4988601346238UPC CODE: 66224882763The serial number shows that my copy of the figurine was manufactured in November 2020 (202011).Pros:1. Very attractive price for the purchased item including shipping.2. Instant delivery by DHL Express courier from Japan to Poland (one of the countries belonging to the European Union).3. No need to pay VAT after the item arrive in Poland, because it was taken care of by the Japanese Amazon.4. In the case of my order, the box with the figurine was packed by Japanese Amazon in an additional carton box.Cons:Some of these cons can apply to all Tifa figurines, regardless of the market they are intended for.1. The painter probably wanted to emphasize the outline of the muscles, the effect of a poorly applied self-tanner appeared. I managed to even out the color a little by washing the PVC fragment with a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol, and then washing the PVC fragment with water.2. Poorly processed PVC on the underside of the arms in the shoulder area, excess plastic not removed and visible marks after trimming?3. Due to the poorly cut mounting place in the thigh, one of the legs is shorter than the other by about 3 mm, which makes it very difficult to place the figurine in a stable position without a stand.4. You cannot change the back hair at all (and certainly not in a light, easy and pleasant way), because the mounting element that makes the whole head move comes out of the neck and not from the back hair (where it should come out), where it is not at all it can be removed. Maybe it needs to be heated with a dryer or moistened with soapy water? Ideally, the box's extra back hair (two pieces) would have their own mounting element included. Someone at Square Enix hasn't thought of that, unfortunately.5. In the box, both magnets that hold the flap closing the window were detached, and I had to stick them with double-sided adhesive tape. Maybe the box was stored in the warehouse in inappropriate conditions, that is, in too high temperature?

梱包もしっかりしていました。問題は、有りませんでした。

フィギュアは顔が命です。値段の割にあんまり似ていない。色々な角度から顔を見たけどティファっぽい別キャラって感じ。もう顔が微妙...もう技術も向上してるんだし実物の人間の顔より簡単だろうから出来ると思う。パッケージの写真位だったら結構似てるから満足なのに、なんで中身はパッケージと少し違うのか。プロでない人達が制作した物をプロのカメラマンがいいアングルから撮ったのでしょう。5000円位が妥当な値段エアリスとセフィロスも予約してあるので既に心配になってきた。限りなく★２に近い★３

I have actually ordered two Tifa figures.One I have bought from Hong Kong while the other I’ve pre-ordered on Amazon Japan.after receiving the first one from Hong Kong I was greatly disappointed as the face sculpt was nowhere near what the box art has shown, which was their preproduction sculpt.The face was too skinny, skin colour was too dark and the overall painting quality was poor.so as soon as they had announced they will revise the quality control, I have pre-ordered it on Amazon hoping there’ll be some improvement.but I’ve been proven wrong. not only are they the same thing the quality seems to have dropped even more! The left-hand side of the suspenders is stuck on a chest piece and separating them would mean paint chipping on the white part. Black paint is missing on the right leg joint!I mean for God’s sake I’ve spent ¥10,000 on this figure for 2 times!this is unacceptable!

item deliver from japan to Singapore just take 1 day！very fast delivery and item received in perfect condition！

笑顔パーツはゲーム中のモデリングには近いと思います。眉位置が高く優しげですがちょっと整形っぽい顔。サンプルの眉位置が低く凛々しい顔立ちのティファを求めているとがっかりします。戦闘顔パーツは目が中心寄りになっててかなり変です。他の購入者の写真をいくつか見ましたが、どれも同じような感じでした。サスペンダーは手で調節可能ですが、すぐ片側だけビロンと出てしまう。個体差なのかは不明。【総評】割と今でも評価の高いAC版や、最近の作品とは思えないクオリティのCCエアリスに比べたら遥かに出来はいいです。ゴミ飛びはないし、髪もプレイアーツ特有の粗いゴワゴワ感が改善されてきています。値段相応かと言われるとこのシリーズ全てに言えますが、NOです。サンプル通りのものが来るとは思っていませんでしたが、表情の雰囲気がだいぶ違って見えて好みから遠ざかってしまいました。本命のエアリスもサンプル時点で顔がかなり良かったので正直不安です。

等身のせいか、大迫力です。ブリスターの時点では発売当初から言われていた通り『これじゃない感』があって残念がってました。ですが、ブリスターの中だと姿勢や関節の角度の問題でそう見える事もあるので開封しました！手に取ったら、買ってよかった。手放さず開封してよかった。そう思えるくらい美人でカッコイイ。スケール的に大きいかつ肌の露出もあるし、服の隙間から見える範囲までしっかり作り込まれてるのでスタイル良すぎて嫁様に変な目で見られそう。買ってよかった。

Hope Playarts can improve the face design, otherwise, it is hard to buy Jessie nest year.
