Bring Arts Sephiroth Another Form Photo Shoot

Posted on January 7, 2020 at 4:22 pm by Tony_Bacala under Random Photo Shoot, Video Game Toy News

Bring Arts Sephiroth 23

That last bit of light is always the hardest to snuff out. Time for a look at Square Enix’s 1/12 scale line today, Bring Arts.  This is the second Final Fantasy VII themed release, Sephiroth.  Cloud was the first.  Both are from the Kingdom Hearts video games and feature alternate looks from that story line.  The most noticeable being the single angel wings.  Sephiroth features a sleek look very faithful to the game with solid paint, especially the wing.  The hair is long and flowing, with a ball jointed piece underneath the main locks to allow for some posing.  The articulation is limited – both the elbows and knees get the equivalent of single joint 90 degree bends. The ab cut is under his jacket so that’s also limited.    The hair, while true to the character, also limits neck movement.  Overall sculpt and paint is great though.

I grabbed these guys for two reasons – one because I dig FFVII and always like to collect things from that series, and two, wanted to check out Bring Arts.  This is Square Enix’s jump into the 1/12 scale.  Play Arts Kai is fantastic but expensive.  Grabbing a full team line up for a deep roster requires a small business loan.   So I was hoping that Bring Arts would shine and allow them to get us the FFVII roster in a smaller, and cheaper format.   After two pieces, I don’t think they are there yet.  Articulation is limited, and the price on these are high compared to some other non-limited Asian company offerings like Tamashii and Mafex.  You get less for the same price or more than similar offerings.   If they upped the articulation to full SHF / Mafex levels on their best days, and dropped that price 20%, it would be the perfect offering for team building at high quality 1/12 scale.

That being said, I am happy with both Cloud and Sephiroth here, they look good on the shelves as supplemental pieces in relatively simple poses.  If that is your goal, they are worth it.

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!
