High quality and fully poseable from the Playarts series, comes Kingdom Heart’s hero, Sora! I never did complete the game. But I really thought the keyblades were cool.
As for this action figure, it is typical Playarts. But with every Playarts figure, Square has been making improvements to the design.
There are joints in the hands and feet. The feet joints are common enough and are for proper balance, allowing a wide variety of poses. The hands though, are a new touch. They can now grip the uber-cool Keyblade tightly, rather than like in the older Playarts where you have to switch the entire hand.
The accessory Keyblade is very detailed, with a mickey mouse key chain at the end. Pity about a lack of other versions. Maybe if we’re super lucky, Square will produce other Keyblades, such as the Halloween one, which is one of my favourite.
Sora’s pointy hair has been faithfully replicated. . this part i dont get. something about being able to produce 3 different expressions thanks to the head having a double ball joint. Could someone help out?
No effort has been spared in replicating the details of the costume. The knee and hip joints, in particular, have been hidden under the clothes which are made of PVC. So Sora’s lower half is perfect. The elbows still show the ghastly joints though.
It’s too early for a release date and price. But it is confirmed to be 18.5 cm tall.
My verdict? Wait for the US release, which may take more than a year. And BUY BUY BUY.
Kingdom Hearts Formation Arts Vol. 2
These trading figs are gigantic at 18 cm average!!! Very nice, especially the Cloud one. In fact, the Cloud figure is probably the coolest pose Cloud has been seen in so far. The rest aren’t too cool though, but worth getting. The set is very detailed for a trading figure set.
As usual for the KH FA series, every piece comes in either full colour or mono colour. Mono colour is BAD, unless you happen to like pure-white figures. Pray hard.

Do not use any < and > for your own sake. It will end the comment there and then. Also, there is an automatic IQ filter which weeds out comments made by those who accidentally got transported from the stone age.

Monotone version(black and white) are actually variants. Thus, NOT BAD…but very good. More expensive in a collectors view.
