Square Enix's Play Arts Kai line has produced some fascinating pieces from various game series like Metal Gear Solid and of course SE's own Final Fantasy. Not braking for anyone, the company is marching right along with a fresh batch of hot buns straight from the oven.
During SDCC, Square Enix showed off some unpainted models of Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazama from Tekken as well as a different version of Master Chief from Halo. On the painted front, there are figures of Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider reboot, Agent 47 from Hitman, and a blue Spartan soldier again from Halo.
Maybe it's because extreme photographic close-ups have a nasty habit of revealing otherwise unnoticeable blemishes, but I think the painted figures look rather shabby. The ones without paint, on the other hand, have a definition about them that simply looks more appealing. Agree?

That Link figma by Max Factory which went on sale last year? It is now garbage. Find the closest waste receptacle and chuck that sh*t in there with extreme prejudice. That Link on Epona statue by First 4 Figures? It doesn't e...

I'm not all too familiar with the Shin Megami Tensei series or its spinoffs. Bad me, right? What I do know is that Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army is the one of the longest, most obsc...
Like that D-Arts Bass action figure I talked about the other week? Pretty sexy, ain't it? And remember how I said it was highly likely that Bandai would try to bring it to US retail?

If there's a comic book licensed game coming out, then it's a fairly safe bet that there will be some official tie-in action figures released too. NetherRealm's DC Comics-based fighter Injustic: Gods Among Us is no exception....
