description
This is the first time in the FF series that summon beasts can be turned into vehicles. of course, the toy makers in Square Enix are not going to let go of such a cool concept, so here they are, Styria and Nyx, combined to form Snow's motorbike, besides the smooth efficient lines that all top motorbikes should have, this Shiva bike also portrays a hint of feminine beauty. The busts of the two goddesses blend in with the mechanical parts seamlessly. Put her beside Snow's figure to relive some of the most exciting scenes.

BIG and Worth it :)
The PlayArts Kai series are much bigger than the previous series; that's no good for those who have been collecting FF figures and wish to keep them all in scale. On the other hand, bigger figures come with more details and articulations :)

The Shiva bike is REALLY HUGE!. Definitely bigger than FFVII Daytona and FFVII AC Fenrir.. while it is impressive and have quite a heft to it, I could not help noticing that the bike (and the Kai figures) could have been made in scale to the previous PA line up.. Displaying this item will definitely catch the eyes of visiting guests, but you'd have to find the space for it.

Paint application is rather a letdown, considering the price asked of it; some smudge on the white parts.. not enough to mar the figure, but it's there when close inspection is done. In this regard, toymakers lke Yamato and Beagle excels, despite their less expensive (but still considerable) pricetags.

One other gripe is the choice of materials used for certain parts of the bike. The chain-like decoration in front of the front wheel well is made of a rubbery plastic; kinda "cheap" considering that they could have use actual metal chains there like they did with PA FFVII AC Vincent Valentine's gun chain. Also, the same rubbery plastic was used to make the head crest of one of the Shiva sisters; with Snow sitting / riding the bike, his back would press on the head crest and bend it. overtime, this may cause the head crest to have a permanent bend to one side.

well, that's my review. It's impressive and all, but compared to other high-end toys by Yamato and Beagle, the asking price for Shiva is a bit too high.

I do not regret the purchase, nonetheless :)

good product
This product is well designed and well finished, it's a beautiful thing and any hardcore fan of the game should have one of these as it's a good representation of the character of the game.

FFXIII Hope Action Figure
Recently purchased this Action figure as I am a fan of FF13 have collected several item. I must say the detail crafted on these figures are amazingly clear. I would say Hope is my favourite one out of all 6 as it looks the greatest and is the closest to the real game characters. These action figure are better then the FF VII ones that I used to collect as they are alot bigger too.

Awesome figure sadly no stand
As usual Play Arts has come up with a great looking figure than any fan of the game would want. Sadly, there isn't a stand that comes with it any more - it's by no means a dealbreaker but when every other figure has come with one in the past and there's no price difference, you just come to expect the convenience. In any case still a very worthwhile buy!

AWESOME BIKE!
The paint and the details on the figure is really amazing, the person who came up with this design is a genius! Makes me want to own one real-size.
