If you go by qc from left to right, it's piece of shit, below average, and somehow passable

The fiat 124 is literally just a rebadged miata right?

Yes, but the bodywork is obviosuly different and the 124 uses Fiat's engine.

I can't see any of your pictures ElConvoy.

Replaced the links so it should work now.

I have to say, the toys for this new movie are looking pretty promising. Would love to pick up the Voyager Prime and Deluxe Barricade from the premier wave. Steelbane has a nice looking robot mode but the dinosaur/griffon-thing is a bit weak. I look forward to see what other figures come out though.

Yeah the Dragon mode is a bit shite. Looks alright in person though as opposed to pictures. The Robot mode more than makes up for it though. Steelbane looks really impressive, wished he had more of that gorgeous silver pain on his chest. Biggest flaw with that mode really is that there doesn't seem to be a place to store his sword.

This has been bugging me, what do you use for a base and for lighting? Your pictures are so damn good.

Thanks! My set-up is usually like this:

I usually use two lamps for lighting and a white poster paper or black or grey fabric as my backdrop. For the base I use a cheap mirror I found at a dollar store to get the reflection when I want it.

(Actually took that last one first before I remembered he came with a stand and just didn't feel like putting him in the pose again heh.)

So for the longest time, I have been very, very much wanting a 1/12 scale high quality Kingdom Hearts line. It was my pipe dream. I tried out Play Arts Kai, but they're just too big for my liking. Then Square announced they were finally going to do a new line at just the size I wanted and were starting it with Kingdom Hearts 3 Sora. I was pumped! And that lasted for a long time until the newer reveal from Bandai that we'd be getting S.H. Figuarts Kingdom Hearts figures. Ecstatic would be downplaying my reaction a fair bit. So that unfortunately eclipsed my hype for this fancy new Bring Arts line quite a lot, as SHF is a known and more trusted brand and Square's been known to have problems with their bigger PAKs.

Well now I have the Bring Arts in hand and... I've been trying really hard not to compare it to what the SHF will bring to the table since we don't really know how well that will be executed until it is in hand too. Which is going to be a while. It's just impossible not to compare though. And even then, if the SHF weren't ever going to be a thing, this one does have some design choices I just really don't get.

Let's start with the stand because holy hell I hate it. I should not have to bust out a screwdriver to use it, so as a result have a lot of stress marks from trying to bend it for just a few seconds before realizing everything on there needs unscrewed to use. It's ratcheted for some inexplicable reason because there's just no way any joint is holding position without being screwed tight. It's just annoying to handle.

Okay, now the figure itself... First the neck/heads. I don't know why Square didn't go with the tried and true ball joint connection. Instead, the head connects to just... a peg. Which has a ball on the other end in the neck so you can get some wiggle out of it. But the head itself just swivels around on this peg and both heads on mine do so pretty darn loosely. And come off incredibly easily. It's just dumb.

My next biggest complaint are the weapons. They feel comically thick, which is something I kind of expected as it's done with the PAKs too. Still don't like it. It just makes it hard to get any of them into and then stay in a hand. You can eventually, but while they will pop out while handling it's not the worst thing ever. That solid ugly keychain is. I hate that detail.

The rest are kind of nitpicks. More limited range of motion in various joints, I feel the knees are cut a little awkwardly, have some trouble getting the feet perfectly flat.

All that said... I don't hate it. I just wanted better. And it really does look like the SHF will be in every way. It's a shame it will be a whole inch shorter because honestly I rather like the size of this Bring Arts one. At least it represents an older Sora so I could kind of hand wave away the discrepancy with them next to each other on a shelf. Since Kingdom Hearts 3 isn't even out yet, who knows when or if Bandai would ever get to his appearance there?

So for now it's perfectly serviceable, I just kind of had my hopes set higher.

That's not unlike my setup. What bulbs are you using?

I am unreasonably proud of this dumb joke

Just regular "spiral" bulbs. lol. Don't know what they are supposed be called but I after checking they are Phillip mini decorative twister bulbs.

I can't believe they make a Dazzler figure years after I stopped collecting Marvel Legends.

Not just that, but they made a damn good Dazzler and in her best look. :lol

They did a really good job with those tremor effect parts, they look great.

The figure itself is awesome too of course, but I'm not a One Piece collector.

Thanks for sharing the pictures!
