Re: What will they look like?
I know SE hasn't announced any formation/static arts for BBS yet(or have they?). So I was just wondering, what do you guys think they'll look like? And what characters will get one, do you think?
Sorry if this has been brought up before. I searched the forums and didn't find anything.
I have been waiting since KH2 for them to make more "Arts" as I love to collect them all. In terms of Static Arts, I do not think they will make anymore characters from KH right now. If you look at the Static Arts figures, they have made 2 Soras, 1 Riku, 1 Cloud, 1 Sephiroth. Those are BIG name characters from FF and KH. Not just any character get the Static Arts treatment as the Static Arts are quality-vinyl statues. Formation Arts seem to be more abundant and they just released their first KH2 line last year so I think we have some time before they make any BbS ones (Days and Re:Coded aren't substantial enough to warrant a whole series as Roxas and Axel are already done). For BbS, since a general set comprises of 5-6, I think BbS would go with:
1) Terra's armor kneeling in the Keyblade Graveyard after the battle with Terra-Xehanort
2) Ventus either fighting normal Unversed OR riding his Keyblade in the lanes between
3) Aqua probably in the Realm of Darkness
4) Terra-Xehanort in Radiant Garden (not with his bodyguard though, Ansem the Wise from Series 2 had that)
5) Vanitas with the X-blade
Now, SE never puts 2 characters on the same statue (unless they are really small like Chip and Dale with Minnie, Flotsam and Jetsam with Ursula, or the Shadow with Mickey). You might wonder why I said one would be Terra's spirit in his armor. Well, remember, they do have multiple versions of Sora (KH1, KH2, Final), and I think that that scene was very important. I do not think Eraqus would get his own as even if they decided to give Terra one alone, the other would just be Xehanort.
Finally, the Play Arts are easily the most important to me. I think the Play Arts are by far the best figures SE makes because they are very nicely detailed and a nice size. When it comes to Play Arts, they are EXTREMELY picky and only use the most important characters that are generally very important to their respective games. If so, I think they would make a Play Arts figure of:
Xion (they have Roxas and Axel, and she was vital to Days)
Terra
Ventus
Aqua
No, as much as Xehanort, Vanitas, and Eraqus are important. I do not think they would make Xehanort as I doubt he would sell well. If you are a casual fan of the series, you would opt for one of the heroes over an old man, whether or not he was important to the story (they haven't made Ansem SoD or Xemnas). Vanitas is also important, but I see his figure as being to difficult to make, it would need to many curves and edges due to his costume to make. Finally, Eraqus is the least important of the 3, so I doubt he would be made either for reasons similar to Xehanort.
