Do you collect the Play Arts Kai line? 10 inches of hefty PVC goodness with clicky joints. Froom Finaal Fantasy to Street Fighter, discuss!

I am planning on starting with Arkham City Catwoman and Batman. If they turn out pretty good then I'm all in for FemShep, Tali and Garrus.
I actually do have a Vanille from a Play Arts line....can't say I'm too impressed. |

I have Solid Snake and Cyborg Ninja, they're cool but definitely need stands, and have random issues. Snake's head falls off very easily, both have thunder thighs and my Ninja had a stuck thigh swivel which thankfully I've been able to free. Their paintwork is exceptional.

I wanted to pull the trigger on Grey Fox but the scale kind of put me off. If you ever get a chance, try standing Solid Snake up against a Play Arts Kai Batman. You'll get the feeling that the proportions for Snake are a little bigger than Bats, thus ruining my dream of a Batman vs Solid Snake showdown. I am basing this off memory the last time I fooled around with those two toys at a friend's place. I could be wrong.

You know, I was going to collect the Metal Gear Solid line, especially since I have Big Boss from Peace Walker. However, my friend got me Kratos earlier this month, and this happened:
Missing part of this boot: His wrist was broken: The store my friend bought it from could not do a return on it because it was a special order item and they are no longer able to order one to replace it with. I contacted Square the day I opened it (Aug 4th) and after waiting two weeks, they told me to send them pictures, I did, then they said those pictures were not showing up, so I resent them those above, and I have not heard back from them since. I told them all I want are replacement pieces. Due to this, my Kratos figure, while amazing, is a major disappointment and I just cannot justify spending $60 on Metal Gear figures and taking a chance of this happening to one of those. On the positive side, all that money for MGS stuff I was saving for my anime convention in two weeks can now go towards any Figuarts I may find or to the charity auction. |

Only one I own is Bayonetta, I own Nero too, but I got that signed by Johnny Young Bosch, so it stays in the box.
Was gonna buy the MGS ones, till I heard Hot Toys was releasing a Naked Snake, going to wait and see if they announce Solid Snake first, which they probably will. Definitely planning on picking up all the Mass Effect ones. I don't buy a lot of these figures, like the detail, but don't like the size or the lack of accessories.

The line just keeps getting more and more expensive, while QC issues becomes more frequent, so it seems.
I wish they'd go back to the original scale, before it was Kai. Currently own... PAK: SF4 Cammy MG PW Snake MGS Solid Snake Bleach Ichigo Bleach Rukia Halo: Reach Kat PA: FF7 AC Cloud w/ Fenrir FF7 AC Sephiroth FF7 AC Tifa FF7 Tifa FF7 Aerith FF7 CC Aerith |

The Kai scale really has gotten way out of hand. I liked the size of my Kingdom Hearts figures. Now i can't get any Final Fantasy figures to be in scale with them aside from those release in the original KH Play Arts line
