Okay- This one is HARD to find, but worth it for the Final Fantasy fan! Gashapon has released some high-quality capsule figures of different famous Final Fantasy Monsters from VII-X. They include multiple versions of Bahamut, Alexandria, Diablos, Sephiroth, Anima, Adel, and many others. Instead of coming in capsules, these toys are BOXED, and come in three different styles: Full colour, metallic, and Crystal (clear plastic).


Braska's Final Aeon is technically the last *real* enemy in Final Fantasy X- you can't really die in the final battle after that, so this is your endboss. It's Jecht, Tidus' father, after being turned into the Final Aeon, and then, the demon known as Sin. In the game, he's roughly 200 feet tall and assisted by two monoliths that heal him. You fight this battle in a stadium in a 1,000-year-dead city that is revived inside Sin. The figure is roughly 3"-4" tall, average for a Gashapon fig. I own him in both full collur and metallic (where it's painted to look like lead), and will be reviewing the full-colour figure here.



Articulation: Kind of. His arms and his base are removable, and Jecht's sword arm tends to fall off pretty easily. But then, this is also technically a capsule figure

Paint job: Very excellent, consideirng its sixze. They even remembered the tattoo on his chest! My only complaint is, they could have remembered the orange down near his ankles.

Sculpt: It's almost dead-on. It cuts off before Jecht's feet, but you didn't really SEE his feet in the game, unless you cast Holy on him, or used Auron's Tornado Overdrive. The chains coming off the sword hilt also aren't included, but they're not necessary and would make the figure fragile.

Materials: Soft plastic, More durable than your average capsule figure.



Final: I'm glad I found this guy- E-Bay is about the only way to find any of these figures, and they're VERY well-done! The 3" Anhima figure is better-detailed than the 7" action figure!

Here's a pic of the CG model used in the game, kind of- the shoulder-spike things are HUGE when he uses his sword in-game, but you cana ctually see his feet here!

And here's a picture of him being healed in-game by the two Monoliths, the Yu Pagodas.

I have part of the first series.....I bought a full case when they first came out, hoping I could get Dark Waltz No. 3

I didn't, but I did get:

Ifrit: Color and Metallic
Shiva: Excellent in color, but balances for crap
Ixion: In clear.....nice sculpt
Leviathan: In color.....again nice sculpt but balances for crap
and
Griever, which is one of the best in the first series....

the only ones I want from series II are Bahamut, and Bizarro Sephiroth....

but, I'm still looking for BW3 first.....

very nice- You can find Bizzarro Sephiroth on E-bay all the time, as "Reverse Sephiroth." I've been trying to find Adel and Griever, but haven't seen them at an affordable price.
