SquareEnix Play Arts Kai Final Fantasy Hero Of Light Review

Well, people has been wondering where the hell am I? The answer is all things with a camera on it had been BROKEN! =_=. That included Cell phone, tablet and digital camera broken for NO reason. What the fuck...=_=...It was some dark times... It happened back in early Nov, 2014. Then Christmas came, I got busy. I did got a new Tablet (EVGA Tegra note 7) during Black Friday sale. It was a damn good tablet but! It has way too much dead pixels on screen so i had to return it. Until now! I am borrowing an ipad from someone. Also there were WAY too much item has a delay shipment from Bandai and Diamond Comics and I had to deal with them. So that's why I have been silence for a while lol, but I am back! =D. I was also way too busy to open any figures too, no fun at all for me in Christmas / New year.

Now, the review. This is one of the most excited figure I want to open for ages, but have no time! But here it is Finally......*_*.

Front View. It is such a cool box, even it has no color but that kind of match the theme of Final Fantasy! Metallic text make it look really fancy =D. You can also open up the front to look at the window display which I will show later. The only down side is the black box with warning label =_=. Put this at the back =_=.....

Side view is nice of the box.

Now this side is really bad ass! It is a truly Final Fantasy style.

Back View. Nice pose with the fiber cape it comes with. YES! It has 2 type of capes!! Will talk about it later.

Window display. The art on the left hand side seems to be Anime ver. of Hero Of Light. They usually use the actual figure itself for the art, this time they did not, but this is fine.

This figure comes with LOT OF STUFFS. OMG.

Main Figure
Shield
Main Sword
4 Hollow Swords
2 Horns on Helmet
Base Stand Kit
Fiber Cape
Rubber Cape (on figure)
Extra part for Hollow Swords for base
3 different hands

This is so much more than any other Play Arts Kai figures.

This figure is pretty heavy and is very nice! He stands at around 9.5 - 10 inches without the horns. He does not base of the model from Final Fantasy Dissidia but this is not too bad, still pretty cool. But I still prefer the Dissidia design model tho!

Close up on the shield. Not too bad.

Close up on his main sword. Very nice looking, good print job.

Close up on the hollow sword. It is made out of clear plastic with 2 different tones of orange, is pretty nice.

Hero Of Light rises his sword and ready for battle.

This is him with the Fiber Cape!!! It looks so much more bad ass than the rubber one!!! There are also metal wires inside the cape, so you can "pose" the cape freely! The white part on his side leg armor is also fiber.

Hero Of Light on base stand with the extra attachments for the hollow swords.

Same pose, different view. This figure is really bad ass :O!. Also notice that I posed the cape a little.

Front View of the same pose.

Close up on the face. The face is ok, Kinda looks like Animated "Ken". You know, the Barbie, Ken? lol, but is ok, just don't look at his face too close. Other than that this is still a pretty bad ass figure.

There are some design problem with this figure tho. Such as this as shown above. The upper middle part can not be taken off or it is way too tight to remove, as I was trying to do so, I kind of broke it a little, so I stopped trying.

Since I can not remove that part, I can not put the sword inside the shield =_=.

Final Review:
Box Art : The design of the box is really bad ass, I really like it. It matches the Final Fantasy theme and it has metallic gold text on it, making it really fancy. It also has a window display cover.
Score : 10 / 10

Extra Parts included : The figure comes with SO MUCH STUFFS than regular Play Art Kai figures. AND the fiber cape! :O
Score : 10/10

Figure QC :The QC of the figure is ok....Not the best. Print job is ok, but not the best, there are few white spots but it is acceptable.
Score : 7/ 10

Articulation : Not bad articulation, but I don't want to risk breaking this expensive figure lol so I just pose some more "normal" poses.
Score : 8 /10

Figure Design : Very detailed Sculpt works, really nice armor but the face is not so good. As I said up there it looks like Animated Barbie Ken, Ken. But The figure still look pretty damn bad ass.
Score : 8/10

Price : $120 for this much of stuffs, I guess is ok. It is not a bad deal. The fiber cape is a surprise tho.
Score : 8 / 10

Overall : I have mix feeling about this figure. There are thing I like and don't know on this figure. I like the figure even tho the face design is not perfect. The over all design is pretty bad ass. But the print job is not the best. It comes with lot of acc and a fiber cape, which I really like. Too bad the helmet is not removeable and comes with no hair attachments. The figure is pretty damn tall @ almost 10 inches. This is pretty much like a 1/7 scale figure. This is bigger scale than then older Final Fantasy Play Arts Kai figures. I like my figures in scales =_=. Not all over the place. But it is ok, as least Dragoon is at same scale as this one. The shield is not working right deal to I can not remove that little part. so yea.......
Score : 7.5 / 10
