Bring Arts NieR: Automata 2B and Machine Square Enix Review 

Oh man, good to know, I was scraping away trying to get it off, haha.

And the height kinda fits that stat, but it's the proportions that push it to a smaller scale. Head, hand, and foot size makes it seem more like a very tall 4 inch scale figure.

She has more anime proportions.

I get what you mean, but I think that's more to do with her really slender/petite frame combined with her insanely tall stiletto heels. Right next to full-sized adults in the game, 2B physically looks like a teenager. I don't know, I've seen comparisons of the figure next to other Figma and she looks surprisingly in scale (even your comparison with the Figma Deadpool). Ironically, I was actually worried that they'd make her too tall due to the 6-inch label. Just to give an idea, here's a slight approximation of how she looks next to a full-sized (6'1) character: i.imgur.com/CeHqfK9.gif

Most japanese games have this stylized proportiona that never follow the characters height on the profiles. She looks awesome

That height just sold me.

I'm thinking this little robot buddy might end up with Gus.

The Fwoosh That is a great idea.

Until it starts to attack you like what it did in the game.

When i read your first words i was like wtf and after completing it i was that's 100 precent true 👏👏

That makes WAY more sense, haha. Thanks for the info!

The Fwoosh your welcome! Any way did you got to see if the poft2 mouse droid fit the 6inch scale?

Not yet, haven't had a chance to track one down yet. Summer is starting which means mowing and school awards and kids all over the place. Soon though!

Gynoid, not android. Androids are robots modeled after men.

Type Here The word android is used as an umbrella term in the game though And by definition, android just means modeled after a human, not a masculine human

Yup, quite a few people told me about that, definitely not messing with it, haha.

She's supposed to be 5'6" with heels on. The S.H. Figuarts Black Widow he showed her next to is supposed to be 5'3" (maybe a *bit* taller with the shoes), but she's even significantly shorter than that, so she's even too short for import scale, except for maybe some figma.

I bought this figure and definitely don't regret it.

Oooohhhh no, I went back and preordered those too, haha.

Haha, I LOVE that name.

Yeah, I didn't want to push too hard against some of those joints. Some of them were hard to get going.

I has a little looseness to it.

I am totally with you on that!

The Fwoosh Yeah. If I decide to make some stop motion, comics or photography about it I'll definitly show you!

Haha, another reason it appeals to me so much!

Also, I’ve never played this game so I’m gonna just say this not completely knowing how true it is: 2B (I think that is the main girl’s name, if it isn’t please correct me) looks like Raiden from Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance. (great game by the way, if you haven’t played it, or any other Metal Gear game for that matter I still personally recommend it because it’s a bit of a side game which doesn’t really connect to the other main games.)

The Fwoosh Haha, gotta agree with you. I’ve never played these games (?) but the figures look great to me.

I've played most of the MGS games but not that one. But now you have me wondering if there is a connection.

The Fwoosh Just from memory this figure reminds me of Raiden in that game, maybe I should look them both up side by side haha.

Robots make everything better.

Also, it's something you can actually do in-game, just like equipping Emil's head so it's an accurate figure to the source material.

Don’t type xd

Is Bring Arts doing Kingdom Hearts? Again, I don't know much about that property but I thought Figuarts was doing those.

I saw that on a weekly! you did 2 months ago, it looks alright

The sora one. Bring arts is doing this because the game is published/made by Square Enix.

Yes, they've done 3 Sora so far with 3 more variants in the pipeline. Riku, goofy (toy story) and Donald (toy story) are also in development. It's confusing because both companies are doing 1/12 figures right now. They look great mixed and matched too.

Will Krivickas Willing to bet all the variants are exclusive :/

I had it preordered on Amiami.

I can neither confirm nor deny your accusation. Processing. Processing.

Yeah, I wish I liked 2B a little better but they got me for that Machine 2 pack next month, so they did something right, haha.

Will Krivickas by seeing the fragility on this figure I disagree, specially on the price

kaleodos that's fine, we all can have our opinions. I preordered from AmiAmi during the first week so my cost was just under $60 for this set. I think 6100-6200 yen. 2 figures for $60? That's nearly hasbro / marvel legends price points. I love my PAKs but I'd be lying if qc issues ranging from those terrible ratchet joints, paint ranging from decent to downright abysmal, amongst other things weren't rampant and consistent. Robo is a honest and strict reviewer, but he was coming from an outsider view with no knowledge of the game. I personally think, if he knew more about the game, he'd be more forgiving about things like scale, the various accessories, proportions, etc. She's a teenage Android, not meant to scale like an adult. Plus Japanese game designers and artists design human proportions differently, since the dawn of time. Also, worth noting, The bring arts sora is damn near perfect. You have to admit one thing. When the PAK line was first introduced (think back to dissidia squall, cloud, and Gabranth - mass effect 3 line, first Tomb Raider croft, etc) compared to when the bring arts line was introduced (Sora, 2B and machine), square has made strides in their engineering and qc. That's not an opinion, but a fact.

Will Krivickas Dude I have plenty of PAKs and believe me their joints are fine, you need some strong joints to support big figures like those. Its a shame that SE still have terrible qc even with their newest line, at this point they cannot compete with figmas or even SHFs, maybe with mafex but even those guys are redeeming themselves

kaleodos not disagreeing. I have 27 FF PAK and I've had 5 break due to the ratchet joint locking up, paint freeze, etc. Im extremely careful with my figures, this wasn't even over time, it was within hours of opening. That's nearly 1:5 breaking, 20% chance. Still love them and because I buy from reputable retailers they have all gotten replaced. I'm simply saying they've come a long way since the first PAK to the current PAK. I'm confident bring arts will do the same, and in my opinion, they're already ahead of the ball. The bring arts sora is better than some of the recent PAK today, and certainly better than the first PAK when the line was introduced. The bring arts of NOW are better than the play arts kai of THEN. They'll only improve from here. Looks like they're saving the FF characters for when the QC is on lock, which excites me. 👍

You may be right, but it was pissing me off immensely.

ANationalAcrobat 5 same for me, the leg on my sora got soooooo loose :/

Haha, when I started reading it I wasn't quite sure where you were going. Thanks man!

The Fwoosh you're welcome!

Quick question: which Marvel Characters would you like see in action figure form?

Agent X, Silver Samurai, 90s Rictor and Boom Boom and Feral, spikey Thing, a new classic Nightcrawler and Colossus, good versions of Whedon's Astonishing X-men, and the original Excalibur. For starters, heh.

The Fwoosh cool, I would love a New comic book rocket raccoon one, the Skottie young version, a new magik, a comic book yellowjacket from the new comics and a 12 inch Giant-Man using the spiderman buck...would love it

What about the play arts kai version?

@@elaminmochichi7767 It's too expensive :)

2.0 has better quality

On the Fwoosh website, he has more pictures showing she's just around 5.5 inches. This would make her exactly in a 6" scale as 2b's height is stated to be 5'6" with heels (according to the Nier wiki at least). The scale on the S.H. Street Figuarts is the same too; Ryu matches his 5'9" height and Chun Li matches her 5'6" height. I just wish that this scaling carried over to other lines that say they are 6" or 1/12 scale (i.e. Storm Collectibles)

Probably not, I try not to review stuff I'm unfamiliar with, like these, unless I'm super interested in the company or something new, just to give it a shot.

Shoulders are locked in ball joints, hips are just a hinge. You mean Machine, right?

Whoa whoa whoa, in the first pics of Pod there is a down low upshot, and then I kind of show Machine's undercarriage when I demonstrate his hip articulation, haha.

Oh yeah? I haven't heard that. Maybe?

I know I will. I like character but never bought this figure. The reviews said she wasn't that good and the prices were way too high. Now that they are making a better one for the standard price Im gonna get her as soon as she comes out.

Haha, I know exactly what you mean. My son got Far Cry 5 and it looked amazing and I wanted to play, after loving 4. It took two days to get used to the pace, kept getting killed by stuff sneaking up on me. NEVER would have happened ten years ago. Much cussing for those two days...

Amiami

FillerBunny NinjaShark GIVE THIS MAN A NOBEL! I said the same!

Honestly, I didn't discover them until I was in the middle of the review. Messing with it for a while before shooting I missed them completely.

I own the figure and I didn't realize it until I watched this review.

Haha, yeah, that was pointed out to me afterwards.

Yeah, it shipped earlier in the month.

Mine just came yesterday.

I totally forgot to mention that, especially after having a couple of those 3As right here by the laptop.

There's also a machine two pack with lots of accessories, I enjoyed that much more than this pack.

Oh yeah, definitely has potential. They are on the right track, just a lot of tweaking to do.

Okay?

That would be amazing. I'd take a couple of Iron Mans too.

I'll admit, it's better than the rest.

Haha, now it looks like I ignored you because I took a couple of days to get back to comments. And then I thought it'd be funny to skip it, but then thought naw, I wanna replay. Couldn't leave a guy hanging!

@@TheFwoosh appreciate this, and this is not my only comment you replied to.💯

Actually, that may be a little too true.

Friedrich is an AWESOME name!
