That was a nce touch using Sephiroth's ACTUAL theme. I know "One Winged Angel" is more iconic and popular, but "Those Chosen By The Planet" is his actual theme per Square Enix themselves.
YES!! Thank you for noticing!! I went out of my way to not use "One Winged Angel" in this video. Not only is that one a bit too epic for me to comment over, but I feel that "Those Chosen by the Planet" is much more subtle while still being scary in a way that's not so in-your-face.

Excellent review! Could you imagine if VTS did a Sepheroth that was actually scaled to their ovesized Cloud? He'd be enormous! Haha! I really like what Gametoys have done here. This figure looks stunning. The wing and how they approached it was quite nice. I dig the use of the real feather. It's also cool they thought to provide a flight pole as well as a standard cradle to hold the figure.
Thank you again for watching!! And yea, going by VTS's own scale for these figures, Sephiroth will be HUGE. And so will Barret. Someone needs to make a Barret figure already 😠 Honestly, I'm all aboard any FF7 figure hype train regardless of brand...as long as each brand are in scale with their own figures. And it certainly looks that way so far.
@@ElbearToys AGREED! After seeing VTS' Zach I know I'll be snagging that one as well, something I didn't intend to do. And Barret would be so cool! Oh and what about Vincent?!?! Now he'll be a stunner as well!
Finally got mine in hand today. I love it, very well detailed but I'll just give some things I noticed when setting him up: The attached piece in the back to hook the wing on, is really annoying to fit in properly. Get ready to get annoyed with it and your hands will become black from the ink on the wings so careful not to rub it off on anything. I looked at this video for reference on how to attach and ended up having to attach it without the wing first, then the wing after. Still not very stable but it works, maybe just my figure. The name plate on the stand is attached with a adhesive backing. The hands are really annoying to change like said in the review here, the tip Elbear's Toy Box gave about using a hairdryer really helped in changing the hand and getting the katana inside. I will say though that the glove part will scuff with the silver cuffling... I guess its just a given if youre going to change the hands but they will scuff. When I opened mine the little feathers attached to the belt, one of the feathers came off and I cant figure a way to put it back on, so either happened during shipment or its a possibility if you move the figure. The katana looks amazing, if youre going to slot it into the hand in his famous pose you should try to push the katana so the finger tip is touching the hilt. Before I did that the hand itself kept falling off. This is an incredible figure! Really love it.
Congrats on getting yours!! The experience of this figure was a bit less monolithic than I originally anticipated. I’ve heard that some people got a Sephiroth without the opening on the back of his coat. Some are missing that stub connecting the wing. I’ve only had one other Sephiroth figure in-hand besides the one I own. That one made me realize that the coat’s wired lining on mine was poking out a bit. And now I’m adding the wing staining your hands on my list. Thank goodness you noticed the stains in time. Hopefully it didn’t get the figure dirty. In any case, I’m glad your experience is overall positive~

@@ElbearToys Thanks for your kindness reminder! AC version must collect! actually I already got mine Sephiroth and Deluxe Version Cloud in hands, now can't wait for Zack coming XD
Wow there's some nice engineering and details on this. If you're wondering why they made the belts detachable some people do like to strip their figures to see how the body and clothes work.. or at least I do lol. I wonder if Barret is popular enough for his own figure..
Hahah yes, fair point. Curiosity should be sated. Not too long ago, I saw an unlicensed 1/12 Barret that looked pretty good. Hopefully GameToys Barret isn't too far behind (honestly I would love to have the AVALANCHE gang too). Oh I happened to see Dying Light "Anniversary Edition" on sale a few days ago and slurped up a copy. Thanks for the tip!
Barret would be amazing. Problem with him is it would require a lot of tooling. A huge, stocky body with gigantic arms. It’s not something they could source from third party knockoff bodies unfortunately. PAK Barret is actually fantastic, but obviously that doesn’t help anyone looking for a 1/6 version.
@@prehistoricgentlemanbird9131 Totally agree. The R&D cost alone for manufacturing a specialized body for Barret is hard to justify. But if anyone can do it, GameToys might be the best bet. The bodies they used for each release seems to be specially tailored. The base bodies for Ichigo and Hollow Ichigo are tall, but they are original. And so is Sephiroth. And it looks like Cloud/Zack will be too. And if the rumors are true, so will Tifa.
Fantastic FANTASTIC review man! I love your speed at breaking down the figure; you trimmed all the fat and got down to the meaty points! While I respect other reviewers, it takes a while for them to get there, not to mention that MANY of them follow the EXACT SAME FORMAT. Which is why I do my reviews in a different way, and I most definitely appreciate your distinct style. Subbed! I love that you used Link for a size comparison, I did the same thing haha! WE NEED A 1/6 MARIO and we can begin our 1/6 Smash Ultimate collection yo! Anyway, great job!
Kind sir, let me just say, your feedback is extra special to me. Years ago, I remember coming across your review on the RAH BotW Link. It blew my mind that the review was made with so much care, with great camera work and even comparison with the SS Link. And you've kept up with the amazing work throughout the years. I think I subbed your channel with my old Gmail account. But back then, I didn't care much about letting TH-cam curate the stuff I want to watch so I didn't login often. But I'm subbing your channel again here. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Your approval means a lot to me.
@@ElbearToys wow haha! I really appreciate it! You don’t need approval from anyone as the quality of your reviews speak for itself, and I can’t wait to see more from you, please keep them coming. Because of you, I just purchased Serene Hound Rine and Tasche =) And it’s good to see you again!
I just bought this and Game Toys Cloud and Hardy Daytona. I guess my only worry is that Sephiroth's belts require SOME assembly still, but I will be keeping these both "on ice" (sealed) once they arrive anyway. So excited that I got my hands on these two as a huge fan of FFVII since 1997
Congrats on getting yours!! Speaking also as an avid fan since the PS1 original, these releases are not something I would miss for the world. It's also perfectly fine to keep them sealed 😉 I have this Schrödinger's complex where an unopened figure is both perfect and defective at the same time so I always have to break'em open. The kicker is...they're usually fine, but as a result, I can never keep anything in brand new condition 😅
Absolutely love your channel. Your videos are very precise and straight to the point. Gametoys have already teased Tifa and Advent Children Cloud, can't wait to view them on your channel in the future. Thanks for amazing contents, great job
Thank you so much for the kind comments!! GameToys is just winning at everything they released, so I'll be sure to feature them here. If you're a fan of Death Note, they also teased L and Light 😉

Oh yes, thanks for the heads up~ I've been plowing through forums and taking notes on how to prolong the life of these leather costumes. Adding yours to the list as well 😁
Fortunately mine is still OK. Keeping them in a cool and dry place is really all I can do for these leather costumes. This got me pretty good results for some older Dante figures by Asmus Toys that are 5 years old. Hopefully this Sephiroth will last 🤞
Oh most definitely. Sephiroth is a good-looking man indeed. And if GameToys sticks around for Remake Part 2, I'd wager their next Sephiroth will be even better 😉

Hey there, my favorite reviewer! So happy that you got a chance to review it and I was thinking of trying my hand at reviewing this (and other figures in my collection) as well but, unfortunately my sephiroth came with duplicate left hands and missing the wing connector! I just about agree with everything you had to say in this review and like many have said before, you deserve way more subscribers I always look forward to your reviews and I'm looking forward to the next one! (Maybe that Terry figure, I have been eyeing that for a long time now)
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! It's an honor to be considered a favorite!! For the missing pieces, I'd start with contacting the seller. Chances are, there might be replacements floating around since this was just released. If not, try to shoot for a partial refund and look for loose parts on eBay. It's a bummer but now is the best time to sort out any missing parts. I'd love to review Terry but I'm a little swamped with new releases for anything retro at the moment 😅 But I'm pretty stoked for the upcoming classic costume Kyo and Iori from KoF14. Terry, Mai and K' will be there to greet them 😉 And lastly, definitely do give it a go at your own reviews! I subbed you back, and hope to see it some day!!
Yo Proxy why didn’t you recommend this channel to me? Haha this video was GREAT and I can see why he’s your fav reviewer! And you should DEFINITELY try doing a review...and maybe your first video can be on Sephiroth!
@@ElbearToys Yes, I contacted Onesixthoutfitters as soon as I opened the box and noticed the missing pieces. They are currently in contact with Gametoys to get me a replacement but, I am so envious of everyone who has a complete set. Even without the missing pieces, this is my favorite 1/6 figure to date and its presence is unmatched in my humble collection. Yeah, I hear you in regards to going back and reviewing older stuff but, if you do get around to it, I would love to hear your take. Thanks for the sub back, I have not earned it but, I hope in the future I can!
@@BrooklynWolfTheCollector Haha, sorry bud! It would be Sephiroth if I had all the accessories in order. Though, I think I will do something older just to get my used to the idea and plus, I have ZERO knowledge in photography, lighting, and doing reviews but, one of my resolutions for the year is to build/develop new skills and try something I am uncomfortable with. ^___^ Btw, would you consider doing a figure talk with other collectors? You and Elbear bring unique perspectives in how you present information, you guys are top tier when it comes to posing, and I imagine your tastes in collectibles probably overlap.
@@emptyproxy7104 yo man, if you compare my first review to my latest, you can see that I had a rough start, but it was a start haha. I’m sure you already have the essentials; bright room, good camera phone. If it’s not bright enough, get some extra lights and you’re good to go. Just gotta pick a subject and rock it out. Definitely study Elbears videos, that’s a good place to begin. Good luck with it. When you officially post a new vid, let me know! Also, I have considered doing a stream chat. If I do, I’d love to chat with Elbear. I just need to learn how to lol.
I got mine today. Was wondering if you faced any issues regarding the shoulder pads being very loose? Can’t seemed to make it stay on the shoulders… the magnets doesn’t seemed to work
Congrats on getting yours! I don't unfortunately (or fortunately I guess?) have any issues on the shoulder pads. In fact, I'd say the one on the right is a bit too tight for my copy. Though I'd recommend rising the arms out sideways before pushing the shoulder pads all the way up. Once you get them to where they should be, bring the arms back down to see if you can lock them in place. The straps that go under the arms should anchor them pretty well. It's not a lot, but I hope it helps~
wow, just found this channel looking up the figure and what a fantastic review! you're right about the VTS cloud looking a bit too large which makes me wonder how the Gametoys Cloud stacks up. Hoping they do a Noctis. I've ordered some Tifa, Aerith, and 2B statues and now i wish you had reviews on all of them lol.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback!! GameToys Noctis with an alternate post-10-year-stasis head sculpt would be pretty dope~ I'm contemplating the upcoming FF6 Terra statue...but I'm a completionist with zero self control so once I get a statue collection going, I'll kiss all my resources goodbye 😅 Not sure when my GameToys Cloud will be here, but please stay tuned for that review!!

Thank you so much for watching!! The price is no secret, but I don't usually mention it because prices aren't the same across the board for this hobby, and they trend upward as time goes on 😅 I don't remember the exact price, but I got this via a pre-order that's approximately between $200 to $250 USD.

great review. Cant change his hands even though after using hairdryer. Used too much force and I did hurt my hands. They dont stand, they just drop. Any more recommendations about the hands?
I do have one more trick, but it's NOT something I'd recommend, and that's a heat gun. It's like a hairdryer on drugs. The heat stream is focused, and it warms up the part A LOT faster. But do be extra careful because the heat gun can easily melt the part or any glue around it (if any). I thought I was careful but I've had melted hand parts by accident before... The heat gun I use is a DeWALT 20V Max Cordless. It's overkill but it's more effective than a hairdryer when used with extreme caution. But if you're really sure that you want to proceed, start by putting Sephiroth in a T-pose and apply the heat around the wrist so the heat stream doesn't hit anywhere else on the figure. Once you get it a little warm, pause for like 10 seconds to let the heat can transfer inside. Do this a few times so the wrist is consistently warm (again not so much that the hand starts to melt), then hold the gauntlet with one hand and with the other, slowly pull with a twisting motion on the hand part as if you're unscrewing something. Hopefully that helps! I'd much recommend trying with the hairdryer using the above method, though it might take longer to evenly heat up the hand part. And as always, don't force it if you reasonably tried and the hand just isn't coming off. I feel that GameToys purposely set a really tight tolerance on the wrist, so factory goofs could mean a stuck peg. Plus if anything is broken, it'll be a pain to get Sephiroth replaced since he's sold out everywhere at this point.
Prolly shoulda molded the hair out of a softer plastic and broken it up into sections like the PAK remake sephiroth figure and I’m pretty sure the wing is too long. Other than that this is definitely the best Sephiroth figure out there!
GameToys experimented with different sculpted hairstyles on Tifa that's interchangeable. Imagine if they could perfect it and apply to the next Sephiroth...if there ever is one. Not only could Sephiroth turn his head, he could have a scattering mid-fall pose. Oh the possibilities 🤔
I get mine from OneSixthKit. But there's a catch (which unfortunately applies to many unlicensed figures in this hobby): they are sold on a pre-order basis. I put in a deposit for Sephiroth, for example, in 2021. And then I was invoiced for the remaining balance when he was released in 2022. And because of the insane demand for GameToys figures, there usually aren't a lot floating around in stock (at least not at reasonable prices). Which is why the upcoming GameToys releases are all sold out even at a pre-order stage. But worry not. With the release of FF7R Rebirth, I have a feeling GameToys might give these beloved characters another go. In the meantime, I'd highly recommend joining the OneSixthKit Facebook page so you don't miss out on any new pre-orders, which arguably is the best way to snag one of these figures. Hope that helps!
I like the face just a little more than the Play Arts Kai figure. That's about it. I think I prefer not having to deal with real fabric and a sharp sword. But it does come with the wing unlike the new Play Arts Kai version.
Oh no!! This thing did ship out right in the height of the holidays, so hopefully it will make its way out of limbo soon. I'm actually surprised I got mine in a little less than 3 weeks. As always, thank you for watching!!
I've just receive my Sephiroth which is just a killer (I've issue with one hand which won't unhook so i'm waiting for a change part if it's possible or like I see in the video the haidryer work with joint attached on the hand, yes impossible to remove for now.....) but otherwise it's a fantastic masterpiece with incredible finishes and details. My only complains are the shoulders pad with the magnet system not very effective and the lips color more dark than the promotional pictures a little more plump. I also can't resist and preordered Zack who looks FANTASTIC with his two soldiers evolution style.
Congrats on getting yours! Sephiroth is getting more difficult to come by these days. But yeah, definitely don't force the hand part if even the hairdryer trick doesn't work. I'm willing to bet GameToys set the tolerance pretty tight on the wrist joint, so anything slightly off could mean a stuck peg. There's one more trick that I use but DO NOT recommend, and that's a heat gun. It's basically a hairdryer on steroids. The heat stream is more focused and it gets the part hot A LOT faster...to the point where you can melt the part or glue in surrounding areas (if any). I'm very careful with it, and even then I've melted parts by mistake before. But it's much more effective when it does work. So again, use at your own discretion. I can't wait for Zack to drop too, so please stay tuned for his review~ And thanks for watching!!
@@ElbearToys Yeah thanks for your indications, I'm a little tense to break the joint part. The left hand part works really easy in comparaison like butter but the right hand don't want to move, it's like it blocked in it. Cross finger for my shop can change the part. 😉
Thanks for watching!! Up until yesterday (I think), TNS Figures actually still had it in stock. I even bookmarked it so I can post it here in case anyone asked. But it 404'd as of now...and all the retailers I trust to be out of stock. So I guess now the best way would be to scour eBay for a deal 😔 Be sure to check the shipping cost too because there's a whole legion of scalpers who would charge over MSRP and then charge almost half that again for shipping.
@@ElbearToys thx for your reply 😘 I don't trust ebay resellers not to rip me off with a bootleg though 😅 Do you mind sharing where you bought this from (though it's now 404d)?
@@jo.scorpio2010 No worries!! And you are very wise to not trust eBay sellers. I'd add AliExpress on that list too just because my experiences with sellers there had mostly been awful 😔 I got Sephiroth from OneSixthKit, from which I've bought many figures over the years. But they only do pre-orders at a limited time frame (usually when a figure is first officially announced). Once the figure is released, there're usually no leftovers since their allotment is based on pre-orders. Other than that, I'd also prefer buying from Giantoy, KGHobby, and TNS Figures (this was the one that 404'd, likely because it's now out of stock). They all sell via pre-orders on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Eventually, and sadly, yes. Leather tend to have a limited shelf life but they can be prolonged with care. I do my best to store them in a cool and dry place with little fluctuation to temperature and humidity. I'm not leather expert unfortunately, but I'm sure there are other coatings or methods to better preserve it.
Aside from keeping it in a cool and dry place, I sadly don't have anything else to offer. My personal best record is a Medicom Kamen Rider that's going 10 years strong, barely has any signs of deterioration. But if this counts as a tip, I'd say take the figure to a local leather workshop and see if anyone there has any professional opinions. Ask about care products that they might have for sale so they have an incentive to help you out 😉
After 1 year of display, is there any damage to its clothes? Because I'm quite afraid of leather materials, they are not durable at all, especially since I have hot weather 😅 ( I'm thinking of buying it but I'm a bit worried its clothes are easily damaged )
I am happy to report that my Sephiroth had survived its first 1.5 years! The leather still carries that beautiful sheen with no signs of cracks. Fingers crossed that it stays that way for many years to come 🤞 That said though, I am very lucky to live in a region with a cool and dry climate. From what I can gather, these leather costume has a tough time surviving hot and humid weather. Hope that helps~

@@ongquandenis9642 Woooh!! Congrats on getting yours!! Definitely worth it for us fans. And if there's a re-issue, so be it. We got to enjoy these now and that's what matters 😉 Speaking of which, rumors online is that GameToys don't keep leftover and assets after each release to keep a low profile. So I'd bank on version 2.0's over re-issues for their future releases. Super stoked for their AC Cloud as well. Happy collecting~
Sadly this one is the same as all the GameToys figures released so far, and thus my response isn't gonna be too different from your question from the Cloud video. As these were mostly sold out before they were even released, the best way to track one down now would be scouring private marketplaces like eBay or AliExpress for a reputable dealer who carries these. It will be tough, but it's possible to still find a decent deal. Hope that helps~

Hmm, I didn't have any issues with mine but from what I've seen, the nub that goes into Sephiroth's back is usually the culprit. Normally, the nub itself should be a pretty snug fit so it won't spin around like a clock hand once it's installed properly. On the likely chance that there's a quality goof on the factory, I would try wrapping a tiny piece of paper around the nub to see if it can add a little friction so it won't slip around inside the socket. I would stay away from using putty just because it might be hard to clean. Hope it helps!
All gametoys headscuples are amazing!I hop they can make some figures of devil may cry ,because Asmustoys figures alway have many shortcomings and flaws，I'm disappointed in them.😭
There's a new DMC3 Dante from Asmus that looks somewhat promising...but I'm not holding my breath since all the previous attempts are only so-so 😅 Rest assured, that new Dante is gonna be featured on this channel too so please stay tuned~~ Thanks for watching!!
The wings on my Sephiroth is not stable and this thing at 5:36 can't hold up the weight of the wing, it's a bit loose. Am I assembling it in the wrong way?
Hmm, the base piece was pretty stable for me. If you're able to push it all the way in (to the point where the piece almost touches the coat) but it still falls out, I'd wager that the factory goofed. There's always the chance that the tolerance might fluctuate a bit because I did have to struggle a little bit to wedge it in. If all else fail, can try wrapping a piece of paper around the stub and insert again to see if it fills the slot with just enough friction. Good luck! And thanks for watching! EDIT: Forgot to mention that if it went in properly, the base piece wouldn't turn like it's a clock hand. So that might be something to look for in determining if it's a factory error.
Joel and Ellie by CCToys are featured on this channel awhile back. But if you're referring to the upcoming 1/12 ones by Limtoys, I will be checking those out from a sideline unfortunately. I'm trying to not start on a 1/12 collection because once I stop, I can't stop 😅

According to GameToys' product description, it's a "high quality leather". And it certainly feels that way because it's soft yet durable. I'm trying my best to keep Sephiroth in a cool and dry place, though only time will tell how well the suit will age 🤔
No worries~ The only reason I'm aware of this trick is because that's really the only way to get things done for very old 1/6 figures. Funnily enough, GameToys actually added this on the instructions for their Cloud figure too. And frankly, this was necessary for both. Thanks for watching!

There's certainly that chance. I do my best to store it in a cool and dry place. So far, this method worked for my personal best record, which is a Medicom Kamen Rider that's over a decade old. The materials GameToys chose for this figure certainly feels better than most of the stuff I've seen...hopefully it will last just as long 🤞
Great video 👍 I hope you like review limtoys 1/12 Joel and ellie. Given what they did with Arthur Morgan it looks like it will be another highly detailed and accessory rich release
Thank you so much for watching!! I'm pretty excited to see how the 1/12 TLOU figures will turn out since the Arthur figure was such a masterpiece. But sadly I'll be watching that from the sidelines as I won't be getting anything 1/12 at the moment. I have no self control so once I get a 1/12 collection going, I won't stop. And 1/12 is a DEEP rabbit hole to fall in 😆

According to Gametoys' product description, the jacket's made of "high quality leather material", and it certainly feels like it. Plus, I wanna say that these look better than the leather used on the Asmus Toys DMC3 Dante 2.0. Dante's pants, in particular, makes me reluctant to pose the figure because it looks rather coarse compared to Sephiroth's.

That was a nce touch using Sephiroth's ACTUAL theme. I know "One Winged Angel" is more iconic and popular, but "Those Chosen By The Planet" is his actual theme per Square Enix themselves.
YES!! Thank you for noticing!! I went out of my way to not use "One Winged Angel" in this video. Not only is that one a bit too epic for me to comment over, but I feel that "Those Chosen by the Planet" is much more subtle while still being scary in a way that's not so in-your-face.

Excellent review! Could you imagine if VTS did a Sepheroth that was actually scaled to their ovesized Cloud? He'd be enormous! Haha! I really like what Gametoys have done here. This figure looks stunning. The wing and how they approached it was quite nice. I dig the use of the real feather. It's also cool they thought to provide a flight pole as well as a standard cradle to hold the figure.
Thank you again for watching!! And yea, going by VTS's own scale for these figures, Sephiroth will be HUGE. And so will Barret. Someone needs to make a Barret figure already 😠
Honestly, I'm all aboard any FF7 figure hype train regardless of brand...as long as each brand are in scale with their own figures. And it certainly looks that way so far.
@@ElbearToys AGREED! After seeing VTS' Zach I know I'll be snagging that one as well, something I didn't intend to do. And Barret would be so cool! Oh and what about Vincent?!?! Now he'll be a stunner as well!
WOW~ yeah, really like his matte silver hair here. Overall, the color of his features, outfit, and wing, looks modern too.
An iconic release worthy for an iconic villain to be sure. I will follow GameToy’s career with great interest.
As always, thanks for watching!!
Finally got mine in hand today. I love it, very well detailed but I'll just give some things I noticed when setting him up:
The attached piece in the back to hook the wing on, is really annoying to fit in properly. Get ready to get annoyed with it and your hands will become black from the ink on the wings so careful not to rub it off on anything. I looked at this video for reference on how to attach and ended up having to attach it without the wing first, then the wing after. Still not very stable but it works, maybe just my figure.
The name plate on the stand is attached with a adhesive backing.
The hands are really annoying to change like said in the review here, the tip Elbear's Toy Box gave about using a hairdryer really helped in changing the hand and getting the katana inside. I will say though that the glove part will scuff with the silver cuffling... I guess its just a given if youre going to change the hands but they will scuff.
When I opened mine the little feathers attached to the belt, one of the feathers came off and I cant figure a way to put it back on, so either happened during shipment or its a possibility if you move the figure.
The katana looks amazing, if youre going to slot it into the hand in his famous pose you should try to push the katana so the finger tip is touching the hilt. Before I did that the hand itself kept falling off.
This is an incredible figure! Really love it.
Congrats on getting yours!!
The experience of this figure was a bit less monolithic than I originally anticipated. I’ve heard that some people got a Sephiroth without the opening on the back of his coat. Some are missing that stub connecting the wing. I’ve only had one other Sephiroth figure in-hand besides the one I own. That one made me realize that the coat’s wired lining on mine was poking out a bit. And now I’m adding the wing staining your hands on my list. Thank goodness you noticed the stains in time. Hopefully it didn’t get the figure dirty.
In any case, I’m glad your experience is overall positive~

@@ElbearToys Thanks for your kindness reminder! AC version must collect! actually I already got mine Sephiroth and Deluxe Version Cloud in hands, now can't wait for Zack coming XD
Wow there's some nice engineering and details on this. If you're wondering why they made the belts detachable some people do like to strip their figures to see how the body and clothes work.. or at least I do lol. I wonder if Barret is popular enough for his own figure..
Hahah yes, fair point. Curiosity should be sated. Not too long ago, I saw an unlicensed 1/12 Barret that looked pretty good. Hopefully GameToys Barret isn't too far behind (honestly I would love to have the AVALANCHE gang too).
Oh I happened to see Dying Light "Anniversary Edition" on sale a few days ago and slurped up a copy. Thanks for the tip!
Barret would be amazing. Problem with him is it would require a lot of tooling. A huge, stocky body with gigantic arms. It’s not something they could source from third party knockoff bodies unfortunately. PAK Barret is actually fantastic, but obviously that doesn’t help anyone looking for a 1/6 version.
@@prehistoricgentlemanbird9131 Totally agree. The R&D cost alone for manufacturing a specialized body for Barret is hard to justify. But if anyone can do it, GameToys might be the best bet. The bodies they used for each release seems to be specially tailored. The base bodies for Ichigo and Hollow Ichigo are tall, but they are original. And so is Sephiroth. And it looks like Cloud/Zack will be too. And if the rumors are true, so will Tifa.
Fantastic FANTASTIC review man! I love your speed at breaking down the figure; you trimmed all the fat and got down to the meaty points! While I respect other reviewers, it takes a while for them to get there, not to mention that MANY of them follow the EXACT SAME FORMAT. Which is why I do my reviews in a different way, and I most definitely appreciate your distinct style. Subbed!

Anyway, great job!
Kind sir, let me just say, your feedback is extra special to me.
Years ago, I remember coming across your review on the RAH BotW Link. It blew my mind that the review was made with so much care, with great camera work and even comparison with the SS Link. And you've kept up with the amazing work throughout the years. I think I subbed your channel with my old Gmail account. But back then, I didn't care much about letting TH-cam curate the stuff I want to watch so I didn't login often. But I'm subbing your channel again here.

@@ElbearToys wow haha! I really appreciate it! You don’t need approval from anyone as the quality of your reviews speak for itself, and I can’t wait to see more from you, please keep them coming.

And it’s good to see you again!
@@BrooklynWolfTheCollector You are too kind :D
Rine and Tache are a good set!! Hopefully you were able to snag one at a reasonable price.
I just bought this and Game Toys Cloud and Hardy Daytona. I guess my only worry is that Sephiroth's belts require SOME assembly still, but I will be keeping these both "on ice" (sealed) once they arrive anyway. So excited that I got my hands on these two as a huge fan of FFVII since 1997
Congrats on getting yours!! Speaking also as an avid fan since the PS1 original, these releases are not something I would miss for the world. It's also perfectly fine to keep them sealed 😉 I have this Schrödinger's complex where an unopened figure is both perfect and defective at the same time so I always have to break'em open. The kicker is...they're usually fine, but as a result, I can never keep anything in brand new condition 😅
Absolutely love your channel. Your videos are very precise and straight to the point. Gametoys have already teased Tifa and Advent Children Cloud, can't wait to view them on your channel in the future. Thanks for amazing contents, great job

Ty for the nice review. Prior havibg him, Does the coat have flaking issue ?
Fortunately mine is still OK. Keeping them in a cool and dry place is really all I can do for these leather costumes. This got me pretty good results for some older Dante figures by Asmus Toys that are 5 years old. Hopefully this Sephiroth will last 🤞
If i ever got extra budget i'll definitely try to get this one. That fucking gorgeous face scuplt is a must have!

Hey there, my favorite reviewer! So happy that you got a chance to review it and I was thinking of trying my hand at reviewing this (and other figures in my collection) as well but, unfortunately my sephiroth came with duplicate left hands and missing the wing connector! I just about agree with everything you had to say in this review and like many have said before, you deserve way more subscribers I always look forward to your reviews and I'm looking forward to the next one! (Maybe that Terry figure, I have been eyeing that for a long time now)
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! It's an honor to be considered a favorite!!
For the missing pieces, I'd start with contacting the seller. Chances are, there might be replacements floating around since this was just released. If not, try to shoot for a partial refund and look for loose parts on eBay. It's a bummer but now is the best time to sort out any missing parts.
I'd love to review Terry but I'm a little swamped with new releases for anything retro at the moment 😅 But I'm pretty stoked for the upcoming classic costume Kyo and Iori from KoF14. Terry, Mai and K' will be there to greet them 😉

@@ElbearToys Yes, I contacted Onesixthoutfitters as soon as I opened the box and noticed the missing pieces. They are currently in contact with Gametoys to get me a replacement but, I am so envious of everyone who has a complete set. Even without the missing pieces, this is my favorite 1/6 figure to date and its presence is unmatched in my humble collection.

Btw, would you consider doing a figure talk with other collectors? You and Elbear bring unique perspectives in how you present information, you guys are top tier when it comes to posing, and I imagine your tastes in collectibles probably overlap.
@@emptyproxy7104 yo man, if you compare my first review to my latest, you can see that I had a rough start, but it was a start haha. I’m sure you already have the essentials; bright room, good camera phone. If it’s not bright enough, get some extra lights and you’re good to go. Just gotta pick a subject and rock it out.

Good luck with it. When you officially post a new vid, let me know!
Also, I have considered doing a stream chat. If I do, I’d love to chat with Elbear. I just need to learn how to lol.
I got mine today. Was wondering if you faced any issues regarding the shoulder pads being very loose? Can’t seemed to make it stay on the shoulders… the magnets doesn’t seemed to work
Congrats on getting yours! I don't unfortunately (or fortunately I guess?) have any issues on the shoulder pads. In fact, I'd say the one on the right is a bit too tight for my copy. Though I'd recommend rising the arms out sideways before pushing the shoulder pads all the way up. Once you get them to where they should be, bring the arms back down to see if you can lock them in place. The straps that go under the arms should anchor them pretty well. It's not a lot, but I hope it helps~
wow, just found this channel looking up the figure and what a fantastic review! you're right about the VTS cloud looking a bit too large which makes me wonder how the Gametoys Cloud stacks up. Hoping they do a Noctis.

@@ElbearToys Yes that's how I started looking on the figure reviews. Looking forward to ur next review :)
great review. Cant change his hands even though after using hairdryer. Used too much force and I did hurt my hands. They dont stand, they just drop. Any more recommendations about the hands?
I do have one more trick, but it's NOT something I'd recommend, and that's a heat gun. It's like a hairdryer on drugs. The heat stream is focused, and it warms up the part A LOT faster. But do be extra careful because the heat gun can easily melt the part or any glue around it (if any). I thought I was careful but I've had melted hand parts by accident before...
The heat gun I use is a DeWALT 20V Max Cordless. It's overkill but it's more effective than a hairdryer when used with extreme caution.
But if you're really sure that you want to proceed, start by putting Sephiroth in a T-pose and apply the heat around the wrist so the heat stream doesn't hit anywhere else on the figure. Once you get it a little warm, pause for like 10 seconds to let the heat can transfer inside. Do this a few times so the wrist is consistently warm (again not so much that the hand starts to melt), then hold the gauntlet with one hand and with the other, slowly pull with a twisting motion on the hand part as if you're unscrewing something.
Hopefully that helps! I'd much recommend trying with the hairdryer using the above method, though it might take longer to evenly heat up the hand part. And as always, don't force it if you reasonably tried and the hand just isn't coming off. I feel that GameToys purposely set a really tight tolerance on the wrist, so factory goofs could mean a stuck peg. Plus if anything is broken, it'll be a pain to get Sephiroth replaced since he's sold out everywhere at this point.
Incredible review!
Thank you so much for the kind feedback!!
Wow this is a great review!
Thank you so much for watching!
Prolly shoulda molded the hair out of a softer plastic and broken it up into sections like the PAK remake sephiroth figure and I’m pretty sure the wing is too long. Other than that this is definitely the best Sephiroth figure out there!
GameToys experimented with different sculpted hairstyles on Tifa that's interchangeable. Imagine if they could perfect it and apply to the next Sephiroth...if there ever is one. Not only could Sephiroth turn his head, he could have a scattering mid-fall pose. Oh the possibilities 🤔
@@ElbearToys that would be amazing
Where do you buy these figures? I would like to buy them as well
I get mine from OneSixthKit. But there's a catch (which unfortunately applies to many unlicensed figures in this hobby): they are sold on a pre-order basis. I put in a deposit for Sephiroth, for example, in 2021. And then I was invoiced for the remaining balance when he was released in 2022. And because of the insane demand for GameToys figures, there usually aren't a lot floating around in stock (at least not at reasonable prices). Which is why the upcoming GameToys releases are all sold out even at a pre-order stage.
But worry not. With the release of FF7R Rebirth, I have a feeling GameToys might give these beloved characters another go. In the meantime, I'd highly recommend joining the OneSixthKit Facebook page so you don't miss out on any new pre-orders, which arguably is the best way to snag one of these figures.
Hope that helps!
I like the face just a little more than the Play Arts Kai figure. That's about it. I think I prefer not having to deal with real fabric and a sharp sword. But it does come with the wing unlike the new Play Arts Kai version.
Great review. I'm excited to get mine but it's stuck in delivery limbo.
Oh no!! This thing did ship out right in the height of the holidays, so hopefully it will make its way out of limbo soon. I'm actually surprised I got mine in a little less than 3 weeks.
As always, thank you for watching!!
I've just receive my Sephiroth which is just a killer (I've issue with one hand which won't unhook so i'm waiting for a change part if it's possible or like I see in the video the haidryer work with joint attached on the hand, yes impossible to remove for now.....) but otherwise it's a fantastic masterpiece with incredible finishes and details.
My only complains are the shoulders pad with the magnet system not very effective and the lips color more dark than the promotional pictures a little more plump.
I also can't resist and preordered Zack who looks FANTASTIC with his two soldiers evolution style.
Congrats on getting yours! Sephiroth is getting more difficult to come by these days. But yeah, definitely don't force the hand part if even the hairdryer trick doesn't work. I'm willing to bet GameToys set the tolerance pretty tight on the wrist joint, so anything slightly off could mean a stuck peg.
There's one more trick that I use but DO NOT recommend, and that's a heat gun. It's basically a hairdryer on steroids. The heat stream is more focused and it gets the part hot A LOT faster...to the point where you can melt the part or glue in surrounding areas (if any). I'm very careful with it, and even then I've melted parts by mistake before. But it's much more effective when it does work. So again, use at your own discretion.
I can't wait for Zack to drop too, so please stay tuned for his review~ And thanks for watching!!
@@ElbearToys Yeah thanks for your indications, I'm a little tense to break the joint part. The left hand part works really easy in comparaison like butter but the right hand don't want to move, it's like it blocked in it. Cross finger for my shop can change the part. 😉
Beautiful! Any link where we can order from please?
Thanks for watching!! Up until yesterday (I think), TNS Figures actually still had it in stock. I even bookmarked it so I can post it here in case anyone asked. But it 404'd as of now...and all the retailers I trust to be out of stock. So I guess now the best way would be to scour eBay for a deal 😔 Be sure to check the shipping cost too because there's a whole legion of scalpers who would charge over MSRP and then charge almost half that again for shipping.
@@ElbearToys thx for your reply 😘 I don't trust ebay resellers not to rip me off with a bootleg though 😅 Do you mind sharing where you bought this from (though it's now 404d)?
@@jo.scorpio2010 No worries!! And you are very wise to not trust eBay sellers. I'd add AliExpress on that list too just because my experiences with sellers there had mostly been awful 😔
I got Sephiroth from OneSixthKit, from which I've bought many figures over the years. But they only do pre-orders at a limited time frame (usually when a figure is first officially announced). Once the figure is released, there're usually no leftovers since their allotment is based on pre-orders.
Other than that, I'd also prefer buying from Giantoy, KGHobby, and TNS Figures (this was the one that 404'd, likely because it's now out of stock). They all sell via pre-orders on a first-come-first-serve basis.

do you think the leather clothing of sephiroth will deteriorate with time?
Eventually, and sadly, yes. Leather tend to have a limited shelf life but they can be prolonged with care. I do my best to store them in a cool and dry place with little fluctuation to temperature and humidity. I'm not leather expert unfortunately, but I'm sure there are other coatings or methods to better preserve it.
@@ElbearToys hey, i've bought this figure and his clothing really scares me. it feels really fragile. what are your tips to keep it in good condition
Aside from keeping it in a cool and dry place, I sadly don't have anything else to offer. My personal best record is a Medicom Kamen Rider that's going 10 years strong, barely has any signs of deterioration.
But if this counts as a tip, I'd say take the figure to a local leather workshop and see if anyone there has any professional opinions. Ask about care products that they might have for sale so they have an incentive to help you out 😉
@@ElbearToys thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. looking forward to more videos from you. keep up the good work, dude! 💪🤟
After 1 year of display, is there any damage to its clothes? Because I'm quite afraid of leather materials, they are not durable at all, especially since I have hot weather 😅 ( I'm thinking of buying it but I'm a bit worried its clothes are easily damaged )
I am happy to report that my Sephiroth had survived its first 1.5 years! The leather still carries that beautiful sheen with no signs of cracks. Fingers crossed that it stays that way for many years to come 🤞

Sadly this one is the same as all the GameToys figures released so far, and thus my response isn't gonna be too different from your question from the Cloud video.
As these were mostly sold out before they were even released, the best way to track one down now would be scouring private marketplaces like eBay or AliExpress for a reputable dealer who carries these. It will be tough, but it's possible to still find a decent deal. Hope that helps~

@@ElbearToys Yeah I just ordered it's gonna be awesome
Do you have any idea to fix the wing? It's always fall down because of the weight
Hmm, I didn't have any issues with mine but from what I've seen, the nub that goes into Sephiroth's back is usually the culprit. Normally, the nub itself should be a pretty snug fit so it won't spin around like a clock hand once it's installed properly.
On the likely chance that there's a quality goof on the factory, I would try wrapping a tiny piece of paper around the nub to see if it can add a little friction so it won't slip around inside the socket. I would stay away from using putty just because it might be hard to clean.
Hope it helps!
@@ElbearToys thank you for mine can not hold the wing for long time just only one night then fall down will try with your advice first
All gametoys headscuples are amazing!I hop they can make some figures of devil may cry ,because Asmustoys figures alway have many shortcomings and flaws，I'm disappointed in them.😭
There's a new DMC3 Dante from Asmus that looks somewhat promising...but I'm not holding my breath since all the previous attempts are only so-so 😅 Rest assured, that new Dante is gonna be featured on this channel too so please stay tuned~~
Thanks for watching!!
The wings on my Sephiroth is not stable and this thing at 5:36 can't hold up the weight of the wing, it's a bit loose. Am I assembling it in the wrong way?
Hmm, the base piece was pretty stable for me. If you're able to push it all the way in (to the point where the piece almost touches the coat) but it still falls out, I'd wager that the factory goofed. There's always the chance that the tolerance might fluctuate a bit because I did have to struggle a little bit to wedge it in.
If all else fail, can try wrapping a piece of paper around the stub and insert again to see if it fills the slot with just enough friction. Good luck! And thanks for watching!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that if it went in properly, the base piece wouldn't turn like it's a clock hand. So that might be something to look for in determining if it's a factory error.

I'm still the new kid on the block and there are already a TON of other Hot Toys reviewers just due to the sheer popularity of the brand/figures 😑 But I do appreciate your feedback for wanting Hot Toys content. I will get to more of those once my channel is up to speed 😉
At 500 a pop, that’s a hell of an investment.
That headsculpt would make nice original RE4 leon kennedy just get rid of the hair 😂😂
Great review! Such a big size difference between this and play arts kai sephiroth!
And there I thought the Play Arts Kai stuff were pretty huge before making video 🤪 But each line are in scale with themselves which is all good~
Thank you so much for watching!!
Is the suit leather or pleather though?
According to GameToys' product description, it's a "high quality leather". And it certainly feels that way because it's soft yet durable. I'm trying my best to keep Sephiroth in a cool and dry place, though only time will tell how well the suit will age 🤔
@@ElbearToys For the price, it better be! Thanks for the quick response.
Thank you so much for your tips about warming his hands because I was struggling so much to change them on my figure ! 🙏🏻
No worries~ The only reason I'm aware of this trick is because that's really the only way to get things done for very old 1/6 figures. Funnily enough, GameToys actually added this on the instructions for their Cloud figure too. And frankly, this was necessary for both.
Thanks for watching!
I gotta say that the hair really affects the posability of the figure
another wishlist
Hopefully GameToys will be around when FF7R part 2 drops so they can have another go at these characters. Plus I want my 1/6 Vincent Valentine and Yuffie 😁
@@ElbearToys yeah, but i just want sephyrot so bad 😁, you have great video too 👍
@@alpharimba If you're interested, the Advent Children Cloud/Fenrir is now up for pre-order on OneSixthKit until March 25th. Happy collecting~
EDIT: Pre-order cutoff date is shortened to March 15th.
I want this so bad but afraid that in the long run, the leather clothing will deteriorate over time…. 😞
There's certainly that chance. I do my best to store it in a cool and dry place. So far, this method worked for my personal best record, which is a Medicom Kamen Rider that's over a decade old. The materials GameToys chose for this figure certainly feels better than most of the stuff I've seen...hopefully it will last just as long 🤞
Great video 👍 I hope you like review limtoys 1/12 Joel and ellie. Given what they did with Arthur Morgan it looks like it will be another highly detailed and accessory rich release
Thank you so much for watching!! I'm pretty excited to see how the 1/12 TLOU figures will turn out since the Arthur figure was such a masterpiece. But sadly I'll be watching that from the sidelines as I won't be getting anything 1/12 at the moment.
I have no self control so once I get a 1/12 collection going, I won't stop. And 1/12 is a DEEP rabbit hole to fall in 😆
Really hate that I never received mine, delivery service lost my package and game toys had the audacity to refuse in giving me a refund, only wanted to give me store credit.
Now he’s running for $500 :/
I want this soooo bad but I don’t want to pay a scalper on ebay
Leatther or pleather
This is my fear
According to Gametoys' product description, the jacket's made of "high quality leather material", and it certainly feels like it. Plus, I wanna say that these look better than the leather used on the Asmus Toys DMC3 Dante 2.0. Dante's pants, in particular, makes me reluctant to pose the figure because it looks rather coarse compared to Sephiroth's.
@@ElbearToys my darth vader ep4 hot toys cracked and my friends wanda jacket to
But! I seeimg your vídeo over and over and seems like not gonna crack
Btw i love your channel!
I have cloud game toys because your review.
Thanks so much.
Now im Gonna buy sephiroth.
@@igorpeira3581 Thank you so much for watching! Glad to be able to help with your decision. Keeps me motivated to make more videos 😆
Best of luck tracking down Sephiroth~ Prices might seem high, but sadly that's just how it is with this hobby. Better now than later, especially for figures that are highly sought-after.
do a GT Cloud puhleaseee
Comin' right up!! My GT Cloud finally arrived last week. Just started editing today. I should have it by end of week. Please stay tuned!!
@@ElbearToys you've got a new subscriber fam
@@nothingmuch6685 Thank you so much for the sub!! The Cloud video is largely done. "Finishing Touch"s will be applied tomorrow, then upload in midnight PST 😉
Mọi thứ đều vô cùng hoàn hảo, ngoại trừ phần đuôi mái tóc của anh ta, nó nhìn trông không tự nhiên lắm.
I'd argue the hair tips looks lightly better in-hand 😁 I actually tried to get a better shot of the silver lining on the hair tips, but I couldn't angle the light without it shining directly at the camera 😅
Thank you so much for watching!!
@@ElbearToys không tôi thấy phần đó đã xấu sẵn rồi vậy nên việc anh cố căn góc sáng như thế nào đi chăng nữa thì nó vẫn xấu thôi 😉😉
@@phamlong9290 😏😏 Well I do suppose GameToys will give this another shot when FF7 Remake part 2 is here. Hopefully they have a better solution to the hair next time.
@@ElbearToys tôi cũng vậy, mong đến lúc đó bạn sẽ đánh giá tiếp, và nhân tiện cái biểu tượng này”😏” có nghĩa là bạn đang tìm kiếm nhu cầu về tình dục đấy😉😉
@@phamlong9290 Ohh, is that what that means?? I use this with friends sometimes when we tell each other corny jokes. Maybe I should curb its usage on public form 😆
Goood gracious he is stunning 😍
Sephiroth is so stunning it's not even fair 😉 Thank you so much for watching!!
@@ElbearToys Haha you're too adorable and so right 🤣. Lol thanks for the awesome video 🤗
Lol Hamun is my real name
OK now THAT is an awesome name 😉
@@ElbearToys thx man
real feathers ? they killed birds for this ?
