Any chance I could get a second guess from someone here about measurements? Trying to figure out the size of Noctis' Sword of the Father in 1/6 scale: The figure is apparently "approx 32cm" tall. My best guess then is that the sword over his shoulder is 152mm. Thing is, when scaled that...

! do you have a link to those Fenrir parts? I've got a 1st edition, it didn't come with em. Also where is the materia located in the packaging? Is it that lil circle underneath the hair?

I took a punt on KG Hobby. Apparently they're reliable outside of returns / quality issues, where they're considered bad. Just hoping I don't get a dud lol. https://www.kghobby.com/gametoys-gt-010-noctis-ff15-1-6-figure/ (They have 5 slots left for Noctis, 1 throne, 0 Versus body)

For sure, normally I'd just use game models as reference. But I mean, lookit this! That ain't far off what I'd consider good! Would not work for printing at life size, but at 1/6 scale? I'll redo the main surfaces for the blade to get smooth, round shapes, but I think I'll just keep those...

After poking around with this for a while, I think I could actually recycle a lot of the in game models rather than build em from scratch. They lack fine details like inscriptions, but I wasn't planning to model that anyway, and the slightly polygonal look works really well if you consider them...

Of course! But if Gametoys ends up turning it into a product I'd better get one for free lol If you get an opportunity, could you find out the measurement for the 1/6 swords included with Noctis? Especially the handle of the Engine Blade. I'm currently scaling them to a handle diameter of 6.4mm...

Oh hey, the sword included with the First Class body has a slightly different paint job compared to the one included with Remake Cloud. Can't see any rust on there. Looks more accurate to the in game appearance. (The sword IS rusty in CG cutscenes in Remake, but not in game)

Apologies, I mistyped - Giantoy has some Versus Body and Throne pre-orders left, not Gundamit! Another poster contacted Gundamit/ShowZStore a while ago and apparently there listings are an error. Which is pretty alarming that they still haven't taken em down.

Giantoy has slots for the Versus body and the Throne, I just put in a pre-order there. Still trying to decide where to get the main Noctis from tho...

I bet Gametoys will do Yuffie eventually, there's nothing too challenging about her design IMO. Vincent tho? Bet that cake will be a pain. It's weird to consider but I feel like we'll probably see Gametoys do Rufus, Reno and Rude (maybe even Tseng and Elena!) before we get a Barrett, Red XIII...

To take my mind off the FOMO (but probably reinforcing it...) I'm toying around with the idea of 3D modeling Noctis' Royal Arms weapons for printing at 1/6 scale in clear resin for use with the figure. Any interest from y'all for that? I would probably try and figure out a couple display stand...

Speaking of pre-order windows! I decided I wanna try and get a Noctis! The pre-order is closed at the reputable places. Where's the best place to try? Or should I just like, wishlist it somewhere and hope one opens up? (Apparently ShowZStore/Gundamit is having a stock glitch so it seems like a...

not to speak for anyone else but I would assume there might be a different demand for the A set of arms vs B & C. if A can only pair with the First Class Body then no one is gonna want it as a replacement part for AC Cloud, but the vast majority of people who want the Body will want the Arms...

It's not so much a patience thing as an anxiety thing; sea shipping takes months and during that time you get no updates. So every day is a new opportunity to think "did my package get lost? Is it at the bottom of the sea with all those Rare Gokus lost to a tropical storm?" Whereas air freight...

Cleaned out already? Y'all are nasty lol
