>>11630944Hmm... from all the playable characters of Bring Arts FFVII I own, he isn't the worst but he is among the least I fear on posing, I have the first release and it is notorious for the legs popping out but my copy is tight and for owning it for 2 years, the legs particularly the right 1 pop out only once and that was when I tried sitting him in the Hardy Daytona as seen here
>>11630922From what I see and hear, the qa and engineering did improve the longer the line continued, Cloud got the short end of the stick as he was the first one to be released and when compared to the last release like Zack, you do see the improvements SE did for the line, its funny though that they could have stuck with the protoype Bring Arts Cloud they showed in an event in 2022 as it looks like its similar to what Barret's, Cid's and Zack's hip joints tech they use and not too overcomplicate stuff and the figure(first release) wouldn't have been problematic, as the saying goes simplicity is the best
Its been years since I handled the original Play Arts game version of Cloud but I have the Hardy Daytona bundle and besides the better face paint/print compared to the single released Play Arts Cloud, I don't remember there is a problem with the figures, they were made by Kotobukiya after all so they have better experience in making figures than SE themselves
