Bring Arts Another Form Cloud Strife Gallery

Bring Arts Another Form Cloud 50

Square Enix has slowly been phasing out Play Arts Kai, the 9 inch+ figures which featured in-house Final Fantasy characters along with stylized variant versions of DC, Marvel and more.  In it’s place, Square has been putting out Bring Arts – a 1/12 (ish) scale line more in tune with S.H. Figuarts and Mafex.  Key articulation points, good paint, accessories, and a more traditional sculpting style are present.  Most of the figures released so far have been Japanese specific video games and anime, along with the recent Kingdom Hearts offerings.  Today we are taking a look at a Kingdom Hearts adjacent figure, – “Another Form” Cloud Strife.  This look first made it’s appearance in Kingdom Hearts, but it’s not specifically labeled as such.  He’s also rocked this look in other games like Dissidia since then.

Cloud comes packed with his bandaged sword, 3 sets of hands, single angel wing, extra cape piece and a stand.  Articulation is above average, but they are using single joints for the knees and elbows.   No extra faces or heads.  Overall though, it does what it needs to do, and gets us Final Fantasy figures in a scale and price point easier to handle.  I’m a big fan of FFVII and Cloud, so I wanted to check out Bring Arts with the hope that they do the Remake characters in this format.  So far so good, if they go ahead with that at this level I’m in!

We’ve run him through a session showing what Cloud and Bring Arts can do.  Read on to check out over 40 HD images courtesy of Entertainment Earth!

    My first Bring Arts figure. On par with SHF and Mafex. Not exact 1 to 1, I was surprised by the single jointed knees and elbows here, but they don't take away from the figure overall. Lots of other cuts and articulation points help get the job done. Plastic quality, paint, sculpt are all import level 1/12 style. Accessories well done, tolerances solid. Overall, worthy, assuming they are all similar. Bottom line, Remake in this sytle, yes please.

    Little less impressed with Sephiroth. Range of movement is limited. At the price, not sure I'd go super deep with Bring Arts yet. But they are close. Great for single pops of fav characters.

    The figure looks really good. Love the pics. Reminds me I need to pick up Kingdom Hearts 3 at some point.

    Not too Sure how I feel about the Sword not being able to be placed on his back.

    Pics are looking awesome Tony! Everything from the lighting to the posing is perfect!

    Glad to see that Bring Arts is upping their quality. I have A2 and 9S still in the box. Haven't gotten around to opening them due to dread that they might just be like the original 2B. Looking at Cloud, I am now considering maybe biting the bullet and getting 2B 2.0 too.

    Was my first bring arts so unaware of previous qc issues. This however was on par with 1/12 import figs IMO.

    What QC issues? Mine has been perfect since I opened her and I've only seen part of her arm dress fall off.


    My only issue with this figure for me is I don't like the knees

    lol, I hope that is sarcasm. How did the dress fall off on yours? Thankfully, mine is still intact. But her paintwork on the dress leaves something to be desired. Also, the overall quality compared to my Figma collection feels cheap.

    Only reason I pushed forward with 9S and A2 was because my pre-order was with AmiAmi. Their cancellation policy is pretty strict.

    Yea, that is good to hear. The 2B release was a nightmare. The paintwork was terrible, there were cases of hands falling off etc. Its like Square Enix knew that too because they are pushing out 2B 2.0 when the first release hasn't even been out for even a year.

    I've had no issues with her outside of standing her which makes sense. Her paint is fine and nothing has fallen off

    Paint is fine? You are the only person I have heard say that. It’s at least unanimous that her skirt paint with the white is a disaster. Are you sure you aren’t overlooking those things?

    There's a bit of mess on her skirt cause she took a dive to the floor a couple times but mostly looks fine.

    I mean, its great that you are happy with what you got. But, you have to realize that taking couple of dives to the floor does not usually damage the paint like you see in the picture (mine hasn't taken any dives, and it still looks just as bad... or perhaps even worse).

    Anyway, I can tell you that the release was generally seen as a failure. It has a 7.63/10 on MFC from 95 votes. That is rather low for a figure. If you read the comments, you can find ample amount of detailed criticism as well.

    So in case you are wondering where the criticism is coming from, now you know. No reputable Japanese figure company, to my knowledge, has done a redesigned re-release of a character this quickly. Even if you were to think the negative criticism is misplaced, the manufacturers actions should make it clear that even they see it as a failed attempt...

    EDIT: Just for reference, this is how her skirt should look like. For a black costume, Square had one job, and they screwed it up!



    In case you are thinking price feasibility, I own Zelda from Figma, and it cost me much less than the 2B set. Look at the line work quality in that one:-

    Oh i was just surprised that's all. I was pretty mad they just announced an update that was cheaper and had actual accessories instead of a robot so soon. Reminds me of when I bought the premium color figuarts Vegeta a week before they announced a much better update. I have a lot of issues with how bring arts handles certain things like pricing and articulation. I do love that Zelda and think figma handles their figures paint so much better.

    Yes, I understand what you mean. On the new one, I would have gone for the accessories than the robot too. The robot that came with mine is still in the package.... that is how much I cared about that part of the set.

    With Figuarts, did they actually do a 2.0 within a year too? I always felt that what Square did with 2B so soon was actually unprecedented. Usually the 2.0 comes out years later (like Saber Altria 2.0). But if Figuarts did it, I suppose I should feel little less mad haha.

    Still, if they improved their 2B with 2.0, I might just get her. I do have the Flare one linked above on pre-order too. So maybe its just better to put what I would spend on another Bring Arts amount toward the Flare one at this point. Weary of getting screwed again you know. For all I know, they might announce 2B 3.0 next wonfest.

    I like the robot in game but man I really don't do anything with it. It just sits there. I remember premium Vegeta coming out around decemeber then the new one was November. Figma waited quite awhile for both their 2.0 arturias. I'm waiting for in hand shots to see how worth it is to upgrade 2b. Long as we don't get another 9S and A2 in a year I'll be happy. They look good from pictures and just don't wanna have to shell out another 90 for a new mold for them.

    I have them both in the box, and from what I can see, the paintwork is much better. I just checked on MFC, and the reviews are more positive as well. I will let you know once I get a chance to open them.

    My A2 and 9S are great, they have better paint apps than 2B as well, especially the hair.

    Cool. I'm waiting for BBTS to get them in. I'm excited for them since they seem much better in sculpt and paint. Hoping for Adam and Eve and Pascal revealed at SDCC

    Great shots! I love Cloud's design here, he'd look great on my video game shelf, but I must resist! I just have no connection to the character and I have promised to limit my purchases to only properties I love. Things were getting out of hand.
