No, it doesn't. It just says it's the same figure as the one that comes with the bike. The one with the bike costs 60 bucks. There's a pre-order up for it at BBTS.
Effin A man! Must get Cloud for the huge Buster Sword. Dammit now Im gonna have to pick up a Seph. Clouds bike looks awesome. Even the blad design e on his sword in the bike set looks improved. Still anxiously awaiting for some Gunblades.
I've already got my Tifa, Sephiroth, and Vincent figures, so when Cloud gets his spikey ass out there, I'll be a happy little bugger. Although my true excitement won't come to pass until Squall's gunblade-toting self gets released.
I remember a little while ago in Toyfare, they said that the US release of Cloud was delayed so they could sculpt a more accurate head. Glad that he'll be released without Fenrir. I probably can't afford it, but I'd like to get it. Either way, he'll go nicely with the Tifa I just bought.
It's a new head and sword included in this version. That's Cloud's complete sword, in the movie it splits into six (dunno about the toy) but the Japanese version only came with one of those, the big sword that seems to be the base the others connect to. Squall looks awesome too. They really need to get these out faster though, and make more of them. It's not like they're likely to run out of popular characters. Just looking at FF7/AC they could get all of Avalanche in their FF7 and AC outfits and they could do a few with their KH outifts too, then there's Reno, the Turks, Rufus, Zack. Hell people would kill for a Zack figure. They could do Vincent as a Turk, Cloud in his Shinra grunt uniform, Vincet's good limit break forms. I'd buy them all. They could even do weapon packs, who wouldn't buy an arsenal of swords for Cloud or different gun arms for Barret?
I don't know about all those different variations, but I am digging the weapons pack idea. Although you do know that the new mold with the full version of the buster sword is one with the hand fused to the handle, so you can't have the sword by itself. And the sword does not come apart.
You don't know who Cloud Strife is? Man, have you been living under a proverbial rock in the world of geekdom for the past... I dunno, 7-8 years or so?
Sweet! Definately going to pick that one up. And am I the only one hoping they'll release figures of the Weapons? Yes, I know they only appeared in the game, but they're to cool not to have figures (especially Ultima and Ruby).
