    Well this is a late reply aha but as far as DC Variants go, I currently only have Batman, Batgirl, Joker and Harley. I have an Armored Batman in my POL and I used to have Red Batman, Wonder Woman, Super Girl, Flash and GL. I didn't mess with Flash and GL though. Its not a Variant, but if you happen to come across or have any interest in Origins Batman, that is a great figure.

    Barret and Red are also great figures though. Really great to pose. They were just overshadowed by Joker when I got them aha

    I would like to see their take on Batman Beyond. I think it could turn out well.

    Nice!! little condensed collection! I'm looking for a Harley as well. I just found a Batman finally! I'll look into the Batman Origins figure for sure.

    I bought Cloud for my Brother he grew up playing FF7 and heck just played it again recently. I hope he lets me shoot it lololol. I want to start the Final Fantasy Series as well.... ahhh the pain!!!


    That would no doubt be cool!!!


    Well I just got Lantern here are a few shots of him

    Another article about teh BEWBS: Hideo Kojima confirms Metal Gear Solid V?s Quiet figure will have soft breasts you can play*with | RocketNews24

    Kinda wish PAK made Sniper Wolf from MGS1 using this new materials technology. Y'know, for science. That said, Quiet looks like a great figure and an interesting character, controversial design choices aside. But I still much prefer Sniper Wolf as a character (what's with female snipers and tragic back stories?) since the first MGS game holds so much more nostalgic impact for me than the most recent games. I have all four of the original MGS1 PAK figures and really like them and hope more characters are made by PAK. Sniper Wolf, Vulcan Raven, Psycho Mantis, Revolver Ocelot -- hell, I'd get them all. Make it happen, PAK!

    Got my PAK Advent Children Cloud in earlier this week.

    Yeah, between him and Tifa, I finally like this line is stepping up to meet its potential. Just a really solid-feeling, well done figure. He's very stable on his feet despite his size, and all the joints work perfectly, with a great range of motion pretty much everywhere. None too tight or too loose. Again, like Tifa, no ridiculously heavy shadowing on the face distorting his expression. Parts-swapping (hands, sleeve) works smoothly, unlike some of my DC Variants where the hands seem fused to the joint parts.

    Not in love with the soft-goods waist drapery though. The material's too stiff to look natural in this scale, not helped by the wire stitched into the edge so that you can dynamically pose it. It's just very hard to get a natural looking flow with it. And just like Superman and Supergirl's capes beforehand, the way the wire is threaded at the corners blunts them, so you don't get that nice sharp edge.

    I would have liked it if the swords could actually combine, but I recognize that the mechanisms involved are really too intricate and delicate to be done properly in miniature, especially the way the blade for the main sword has to compress. At least he actually has all his swords this time, though, unlike the original AC Cloud figure. Sheaths on his back aren't removable, though, which kinda sucks. He does make a pretty striking figure all loaded up, though.

    Does anyone have a Hawkman that they want to get rid of and might be willing to trade?

    Cloud is next. Very much looking forward to him.

    I'm selling some unused PAK stands if anyone is interested. Check my sales thread.

    Anyone seen the new pics for the PAK Marvel Variant Venom figure yet? He's starting to look more awesome by each update. :D

    He looks awesome, but I'm losing interest rapidly in this brand with each price increase.

    From $80, to $100, now some newer PAK figures are $120? Sorry, the quality just isn't there imo, these prices are quickly approaching Sideshow prices and the quality isn't even close.

    I usually wait for Amazon to start slashing prices before I buy now and I still don't really feel like I get my money's worth.

    I'm jealous. I have Tifa and Cloud but I regret not picking up Yuffie when she was still available and even occasionally on sale.

    Thanks but I prefer not to buy from BBTS since I'm in Canada. I did however find a Canadian site that still has her and after shipping comes to around the same price as I would have gotten from BBTS (after conversions and shipping). I just wonder if I want to spend $100CAD on another PAK figure. lol. She would actually be the cheapest PAK if I do get her and thats after having pre-ordered Tifa and Cloud from Amiami....these are the hard decisions. What are your thoughts on the figure itself?

    Preordered him from HLJ. Unless they do a Deadpool he's the only Marvel one I'm interested in. Also Arkham Knight Batman will be here Wednesday.

    So the last PAK figure I owned was Arkham Asylum Batman, and I really disliked how the figure aged. All loose and the articulation at times just felt brittle. Got my Arkham Knight version yesterday and the difference in quality is really quite surprising. Ratchet joints everywhere, he's probably two inches taller, just overall a much better figure than what I paid the same price for five years ago. Ordered Robin and preordered Harley and already had Arkham Knight on order.
