Disappointed
My understanding of these products is that while the individual figures are boxed in the same generic small box so that you won't know who it is until you open it, if you get a full case of 9 it would contain the full set of 5, plus four duplicates. With that in mind, I ordered a full case.

As soon as it arrived, the first thing I noticed was that the case was *not* factory sealed. There were in fact THREE seals on the box, and all three were broken. Hmm. I opened the box and opened each character one by one. I ended up with 1 Rinoa, 3 Yuna, 3 Vaan and 3 Penelo. No Cloud. That figures. The most popular character of the bunch, missing. Now, if the case was still factory sealed when it arrived, I'd conclude that I was wrong, you aren't guaranteed a full set in a case of 9. Rather than accuse Play-Asia of foul play, I will assume that in filling orders for individual figures, they ended up having to mix and match in order to fill my order. And I got screwed out of Cloud as a result. The figures I have are nice and they look great on my desk, but I can't help but be disappointed.

Wonderful collection!!!
I adored this collection of the Final Fantasy. . . the characters are very well done and very beautiful. Badly I can wait to acquire the volume 2 of the collection.

Very nice!
I love my figures, they look beautiful on my desk. I then gave my dupes to my friends for Christmas. They love them to. I can't wait for Vol 2 to hit in April.

Very cute
These figures are extremely cute and a great size in my opinion - the fact that they're so small really brings out the amazing amount of detail on them. Particularly impressive are Cloud and Vaan's outfits.

There's very little fitting together to do, as well, which is good as it might become rather fiddly at that size.

The range of characters is nicely chosen, covering 4 of the games out of 5 figures, and it's great to see Vaan and Penelo as well as characters who've been represented quite a number of times before.

I ordered a box and got all the figures but Penelo twice. I noticed that with the Vaan duplicate, there were some notable differences in the faces - for example on one the eyes were very close together, on the other they were very far apart. This gave a few of them slightly different expressions from each other. I don't think it's a problem, just a point of interest.

Personally, I think they're great, and with their size they don't take up too much of your space.

Nice stuff
I got Vaan. I wanted Penelo, but ah well. At least I got one from my second favorite Final Fantasy.

The paint job is average quality, which isn't saying much seeing as how I've got Nintendo figures that were cheaper than this but are better quality but don't take that to heart seeing as all Nintendo Gashapon are generally higher quality than others.

His face is adorable, though, and I love it, and I feel that it was worth the cost and two week shipping :D

Also, I do not think they are small because unlike most people, I did read the dimensions and figured it out with a ruler. It's no smaller than many of my other gashapon, but quite smaller than all of my trading figures.
