figure-culture in Japan
 
Do you know Kaiyudo? Kaiyudo is a company of (making / planning) figures most famous for Japan.

Japanese people like figures. figures of the character of Final Fantasy was also sold as a bottle cap of Coca-Cola.

I collect FF figures. I have a series of figures from FFX, as well as all of the character figures from FFVIII. And one of my favorites ... my Sephiroth figure!

I want to get those Coca Cola figures so bad though!!! Those figures are just so awesome. I would love to buy the entire FFX set in particular, but have yet to locate a place where I can get the whole set.

I actually managed to pick up the red Yuna chibi and the red Seymour chibi, as well as the red Cloud from the FFVII set. A small Japanese culture store here in Melbourne were selling them. I was very surprised to find them there though, as I had been to that shop before and they've never had any FF stuff.

I wish that Coke had FF figures over here ... all Coke ever has over here is competitions you have to SMS your details in to enter.

I also have a set of tiny FFVIII figures which I think came from some kind of chocolate egg set from Japan.

Heh, I wanted an excuse to use my digital camera and to post my FF figure collection. I guess here it is. ;)

*stares at Abe Babe's figures, mouth wide open and drooling*
Oh wow... oh wow...

They're so ...so... beautiful in their own way...

Especially that Yojimbo figure!

I'm sooooo jealous...

My son is not so interested in FF.
However, I can provide you with the information about FF which you want at any time.

OMG!! *cries* i want FF figures toooooo!!! Wahh! you lucky dog!

Cloverfield 04-30-2003 08:48 AM

Thank you to atuysia ... the site he gave me had some FFVII figures that I wanted to get ... in particular SEPHIROTH!!! So I ordered a few of them. I love the Sephy figures in particular, they are just so adorable.

Here's the ones I just got (apart from the red crystal Cloud on the left, as I had him already).

http://www.oddworld.au.com/misc/imag...-figures-2.jpg.

I hope to be getting some of the FFX ones soon from another site I found. I'll post them when I get them!!!

I also got another Iron Giant figure, but this time from FFX the other day, but I haven't taken him out of his package yet.

Abe Babe...

Canned Gabbiar 04-30-2003 09:45 AM

Ah you lucky bums (:) heh sorry). Wish I were allowed to order stuff off the internet. Wish I had a credit card as well. First I would get photoshop 7 (or higher) and then... well I can only marvel at what I can get after that.

*thinks about all the stuff he could get... "ohh.. I don't have that."*

Sniff... but all that'll have to wait...:crying:

Have a look at this one ... it's a model of the Highwind from FFVII.

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...a.jpg.orig.jpg

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=16462

But look at the price!!! Yikes, I love Final Fantasy, but I don't think I'm willing to pay $3000 US for it!!! Current bidding is already over $1000. And I thought I was a dedicated FF fan!!!

*wishes she had spare $3000 for Highwind model*

Abe Babe...

Alcar 05-09-2003 12:59 PM

Look at the detail on it, and it's size. But I think $3000 dollars (US? :eek:) is too much... Even $1000!

And speaking of the Highwind, it would have to be my favourite airship of all the FF's. But I haven't seen the FFX one yet, so I might be surprised!

Alcar...

The Red Muse 05-09-2003 05:59 PM

The Highwind model is so cool!
