Finally! I've been looking for someone to review this one before buying it! glad your the very first Elbear! Thanks! That Gametoy's version is so superior, wish I had a chance to PO it back then.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! And don't worry about missing out on any of the GT stuff. They won't do a reissue for the Remake version, but who's to say they won't make a better one when FF7 Rebirth comes out? 😉 Plus, GT's Zack and Advent Children Cloud have yet to be released. Just be on the prowl for when they do drop because prices tend to be the lowest when a figure is initially released. Happy collecting~
just get the GameToys AC cloud with Fenrir gametoys superb in tone and shade on Headscult and AC cloud have new body type produce. VTS fusion sword have no weathered effect just plain 2 tone silver.
*claps for your breeze pun* ♥ fantastic review as always. Thoroughly covers the relevant lore, feelings, and facts! I still can't believe those ankle joints...
Awesome review as always! As someone who bought GameToys Cloud w his Daytona and am in love with all the sculpts and detail of it, I still think there is charm to be found to VTS cloud(even though I can’t stand his face/hair which really matter to me.) Though I missed preorder for GT Advent cloud and will be on the look out for in stocks when it’s released, I can’t wait for your review for GT advent cloud! ^^
Thank you so much for watching! And congrats on scoring a GT Cloud/Daytona set! That one is a win for the record books. Every now and again, I still look at that set and think, "Wow...this actually exists. What a time to be alive" 😄 And you definitely have the right idea, prices are usually the most "reasonable" when a figure is initially released. Best of luck!
I completely lost it on that Tetsuya Nomura meme. 🤣 I wonder if VTS Toys would have gone better making statues instead. The quality of their dioramas were superb and I particularly love that weathered buster sword. I think the only redeeming factor for this VTS release is that awesome diorama. I'd actually just sell off that goofy figure and keep the diaromas along with the buster sword while I wait on that Game Toys release with the Fenrir.
Not a bad idea. Recover some of that cost for the GT version, because that one is properly expensive especially with Fenrir. For the review, I will try to fit GT's Fusion Sword on the VTS base to see if it works. As always, thank you so much for the kind comments!!
I can't wait for your channel to blow up like it deserves. You do very good breakdowns, and your pros and cons are incredibly Fair. In conclusion VTS did Great accessories but the Cloud itself is 🤔. Shame, Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima were stellar.
Thank you so much for the kind sentiment! I'd consider this channel a success even at 10k subs. But even for that, it seems like I'll need Lady Luck on my side 😅 That is strange, huh. VTS Toys did an incredible job with their Sekiro and Jin Sakai. And yet they continuously miss the mark for Cloud. My first VTS figure was their Mad Max Tom Hardy. Back then, I was convinced they could do no wrong. But here we are...
@@ElbearToys got my sights set on Tifa and Aerith. I've got word they'll be opening Tifa's PO after Zack's release. Bad news is, Zack release could be delayed until Q4 of this year. Worst case scenario, Q1 of* 2023. But! Good things take time... 😌
@@dztryr Oh darn...someone on these comments was so sure Zack is dropping in August. Got my hopes up 😑 And if that eats into next year, that means Cloud/Fenrir will be pushed pretty far back too. But you're absolutely right! Good things take time.
@@ElbearToys sadly. The guy I got in contact with says he's got direct contact from GT in China. When I asked about ETA, he was only able to share that GT's got their hands full at the moment so it's likely they could take more time that expected due to higher demand with how Cloud and Sephi turned out. He told me his contact says their "boss" at GT's got OC and they don't want to release the action figures unless it is perfect. Can't blame them. The results show afterall.
@@dztryr Interesting! If you don't me asking, on which platform does GT actually make contact? The reason I'm so curious is because they keep a super low profile so (as far as I'm aware) they don't have any official channels. It's as if no one could reach them unless you are a trusted merchant in the biz. Also it's fascinating to know the "boss" of GT is such a perfectionist. It's a good thing for everyone 😉
VTS did announce their Remake Cloud a tad earlier than GT so it was anyone's market. But by now, it's very clear that VTS isn't gonna spend more resource to develop a new head sculpt and body, not when GT's Cloud is so difficult to surpass...so they're probably just gonna milk all they can before GT releases theirs. Either way, thank you so much for watching!!
Most definitely~ GameToys' pursuit for excellence and accuracy is unlike any other. As far as unlicensed brands are concerned, I'd say the only one that might come close is Limtoys' RDR2 Arthur Morgan. Thanks for watching!
Great review,,awesome. Review with detail.. People need depth review because it give much information. The backsound made me drowsy,so nostalgic. The figure is not accurate enough compared to game toys version. But the accessories of this deluxe version is great. Because the base is include the fusion sword stand. Srry for my bad english
No worries, thank you for the kind comments~ I guess it's all eyes on GameToys now as we wait for their AC Cloud/Fenrir. I'll also try using the deluxe bases from this release on the GT version. Please stay tuned 😁
@@ElbearToys thanks for replyin my comment. Its nice when youtuber replyin or answer the comment from their subs because its made the subscriber satisfied. Yea i also pre ordering game toys cloud Ac but not with fenrir cause it s expensive enough for me lol. Thx Elbear..
awesome review and feedback as always.. but I think there are perks to the VTS Toys’ accessories, like the old Buster Sword can be swapped with the GT Remake Cloud right?
Sadly, the Buster Swords between VTS and GT aren't interchangeable because the swords are scaled to their own respective figures. But even if you scale away the size, GT's Buster Sword is thicker and heavier because GT's wrist joints are stronger. Not to mention, the Materia slots and the way you strap the sword on Cloud's back aren't quite the same. If you're interested, I dedicated a segment in the GT Cloud review for highlighting some key differences from the VTS version, th-cam.com/video/41RE07zByRE/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps~
Vts nails it when it comes down to the diorama bases. Just purchesed both this and zack and i cant wait for them to arrive. i would get the gametoys version but dont know if i wanna shell out $800 for the hardy daytona cloud. Hopefully i can get the gt version when it releases.
I'm actually working on the VTS Zack video at the moment but I'm behind schedule as usual, so it will be up in a few days. Please stay tuned~ But yeah, $800 for GameToys Cloud/Daytona is not worth it...unless it's something you absolutely cannot live without. I'd say just wait for their Cloud/Fenrir set or see if they'll make new ones when FF7 Rebirth drops. Thank you so much for watching 😃
Oh thanks for the tip! I haven't used Tamiya panel line paints since my last MG Hyaku Shiki...and 2.0 is already out now too. I'm ashamed to say I actually have 2 of those VTS Remake Clouds so maybe I'll customize one of them 😅 Thanks again for watching~
I'd say it's on VTS that they made no attempts to improve their head sculpt on this new release. Limtoys and GameToys are also unlicensed but they went all out trying to get the best likeness...and they knocked it out of the park. Anyways, there's this UK-based studio which you can find on FB: Greiver Studios. I'm fairly certain they do some great custom sculpts for the VTS Cloud. Check 'em out if you haven't already. Happy collecting!
@@ElbearToys perhaps when I visit there, I live in the Philippines lol. Fortunately here in asia there's no shortage for creative people in custom head sculpts and body replacements ^_^
There's certainly a lot to like with this release, and you can always count on VTS Toys to make some amazing diorama bases. Still though, it's unfortunate they didn't even try to improve on the head sculpt. Judging from their other releases, it certainly feels like they've got what it takes to do it too. Either ways, thank you so much for watching!
Sadly the arms are not removable, at least not without tremendous effort. Parts of the base body is actually used by Damtoys for other figures, but the limbs are installed at a manufacturer level so they aren't meant to be taken apart. Hope that helps~
Sadly, I don't think I'll be getting any more Aerith or Tifa figures for the moment. At least not when the world is holding its breath for GameToys' announcements for Aeirth and Tifa. And on that note, I'll be covering anything Final Fantasy related by GameToys and VTS Toys. Please stay tuned!
There are too many details errors on this figure, such as hairstyle,boots, shoulder armor，gloves, earrings.In order to save costs, they directly use the accessories of Cloud(remake version) and Zack. I made suggestions to VTS about these errors when this figure was first ordered,but they didn't seem to plan to make it seriously at all, just to seize the market before Gametoys.
Oh~ Thanks for making the effort to make suggestions to VTS! I didn't realized they could be reached. But yeah, from looking at VTS's upcoming Zack, it really does feel like they just wanna squeeze out all they can with the same base body, do the minimum to span out as many variations in the costume as they can, before GameToys releases theirs. I wouldn't be surprised if they're already cranking Zack out already since GT is running into delays. Anyways, thank you so much for watching!!
@@cheng890 Ohh thanks for the heads up! It was supposed to drop by June, and yet here we are 😅 Sadly, I'm in the US so shipping from Asia will take at least another 3 weeks. But I'll drop everything and jump on the review as soon as it's here!
I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw Cloud and friends wearing different costumes in the Ever Crisis trailer. Let's hope FF7AC costume is an available option (well I guess except for Aerith).
@@qaching Hiya~ Sorry for the late reply. Sadly, this piece is sold out at retailers that I would recommend, so scouring for a deal via aftermarket/private trading platforms like eBay would be the next best bet. On the flip side, the VTS version isn't as highly sought after so the prices shouldn't be too crazy.
I actually have a review for that~ Check it out here, th-cam.com/video/Ec3Zvh20MlI/w-d-xo.html I'll also be covering Tunshi Studio's upcoming Mai Shiranui and Blue Mary, so please stay tuned 😁
Hmm, that's a difficult question answer because PAK version and a 1/6 scale figure is too different in too many ways. And what makes this tougher is that this VTS version really isn't something I'd recommend over any other types of collectibles simply because a better one by GameToys is on the horizon. So in the end, I guess my opinion would be this: the build quality for this VTS one is really good, but the PAK version (despite how dated it is) still has better likeness. And when the GameToys version is finally released, it will surpass everything in question here. Hope that helps~
I most definitely will, that is whenever the GameToys release their Cloud/Fenrir 😉 And while we're at it, please considering subscribing to this channel if you haven't already. I'll be covering all the FF7 stuff by GameToys and VTS Toys! Thanks for watching~

The VTS diorama and props are great, but the figure of cloud between BTS and Gametoys. The gametoy design really do well especially the face
