Dissidia Play Arts Kai No,2 Squall Leonhart Review

In this video I review and discuss the Play Arts Kai Squall Leonhart from Dissidia / Final Fantasy VIII. I originally wasn't going to review this figure but I couldn't find any reviews on him. I only found Play Arts Kai No,1 Cloud Strife. So I thought to add Squall to the list.

This is my very first review on a figure so, sorry if I have missed anything or didn't explain it very well. Sorry about the size of the video as well, I tried to upload it full screen, but the file was much too big, so I had to greatly reduce the file size.

Man... I thought MY figure had problems... I would NEVER in a million years be remotely satisfied with it yours. It practically falls apart.

Good to hear that your Squall is all fine. I've fixed mine as well so now he can do all sorts of poses. When it comes down to articulation and sculpt, its awsome, but its the joints and other issues that let it down.

Hope that there will be more figures in this line, I'd really like to see a Terra!

Yep, it came off right away. I managed to fix it though, the break was very clean. Can't do much poses now, but i wanted to display him in his initial pose anyway.

Squall came this morning and he's absolutely fine. The sword is a bit wobbly as you've shown in your video, but other than that, i'm really pleased with him.

Pretty sad that many of them are so poorly manufactured, they look really nice!

Oh and no, i'm not getting Gabranth. I don't like him that much.

@CaptainKacknup Ow, your Cloud does'nt sound good. So, as soon as you opened it, the right hand fell right off, even before you got him out? Are you also getting Dissidia Gabranth as well, because I heard that he has very loose joints. However, he's suppose to be the most sturdy out of the three. Still hoping that your Squall will be fine.

@peppy4brawl

My Squall should come soon. I better don't touch it at all...

[CaptainKacknup]

@peppy4brawl

Okay, today i received the Cloud one.

I opened the box, and the first thing that came out was his right hand. It was completely broken at the wrist joint.

All the other joints, except the elbows, are extremely stiff and slightly bent, making it impossible to pose that thing by any means.

The sword that comes with it, BARELY fits into his hands. You have to apply quite some pressure to make it fit, which is absolutely not recommandable with this weak joints.

Stay away from those!

His face is very nice sculped indeed, and the paintjob on it is pretty decent. But, IMO, it doesn't like like Squall, no matter how good it looks. It's more similar to an anime figure's face than the in-game Dissidia model.

I also compared him to my original FFVIII Squall and their facial structure is totally different.

I was so dissapointed...

[peppy4brawl]

@CaptainKacknup Ok, cool, glad I helped you out then.

Please let me know how your Squall goes if you have the time.

[CaptainKacknup]

@peppy4brawl

Hey, no problem. I'm kinda glad i've stumbled upon your review, because now, i know what to be careful about and i thank you for that.

[peppy4brawl]

@CaptainKacknup Sorry I ruined your Squall experience, I didn't mean to...

Hope your Squall will be fine.
