Beware of bootlegs! I just received a set of these in the mail today from a certain vendor here on Amazon who sold me a set of incredibly shappy bootlegs. I had purchased several from a neighborhood store a while ago, which as the other review describe, these are great in terms of detail and quality... when they're not bootlegged. Comparing a duplicate to the real thing it was very clear--the pieces came out of the mold lumpy and had been badly cut and trimmed. The paint was cheap and very badly done, possibly the worst part because it ruins the little facial expressions. Just awful. With close inspection, you can tell the box was made using a hazy scan of the real thing, more noticeable against a real box. The bootleggers really went all out to make the boxes look convincing, but the contents are utter rubbish.
In the vendor's defense, they may have not looked closely through the wrapping when they were checking the figures to make the set, as the boxes are very convincing.
Great figures! These figures are so cute and so detailed for their size. I love mini figures, and these are some of the best. The detail stuns me. The only problem is, the feet don't fit in the stands very well. With some force, twisting, and lots of patience, I got four of the five into their stands, but Cloud's left foot will not fit into the stand. And Cloud's sword doesn't fit into his hand either. I have the handle balanced between his elbow and hair, which stays fine and looks just like he's holding it. But these little problems are offset by how cute they are. Overall, this is an amazing product and a must for any Final Fantasy collection.
Mini Final Fantasy Fun! The level of detail they've achieved on such small figures is pretty impressive! Each of the characters are instantly recognizable. Also notable is that this set includes Penelo. For some reason, the American Square-Enix store sells this as a four piece set, leaving her out.
One important thing to note is that the figures look just a bit different than the ones in the picture. Though this is the case with most toys (as the pictures are likely of the prototypes and--especially at this scale--you'll never get the mass-produced products to look *exactly* the same as the prototypes), in this case they're a tad more different than usual (but not neccisarily "off"). Regardless, they still look good, and are so incredibly cute displayed on their little stands!
The only real complaints are that Cloud holds his sword at an ackward angle, and it's a little hard to get said sword into his hand. It's molded as a seperate piece, and it's a pretty tight fit. As another reviewer noted, it's also a bit difficult to get the little guys onto their stands (especially Yuna), but thankfully this is something you only have to do once.
Overall, a worthwhile and enjoyable buy for Final Fantasy fans that want to liven up their room or office!
Damn CUTE! They're are just damn cute! Love them so much. I like Vann the most.looks so cute.:) Now they've been on my study table, standing in front of my 22" lcd monitor. Love 'em! (",)
A good set These figures are actually well detailed for their size. Great for display, they come with clear plastic stands. I had a little trouble getting them to fit on the stands at first because the holes were kind of tight, but a little persistance paid off. The figures are a little over two inches tall and are very cute.
