Final Fantasy X-2

Current collection stands at 3 of 3
Date Completed: 16 August 2011

no.1 Yuna
Year: 2011
Found: eBay UK
Price: £20


no.2 Rikku
Year: 2011
Found: eBay UK
Price: £20

no.3 Paine
Year: 2011
Found: eBay UK
Price: £20

no.1 Yuna
no.2 Rikku
no.3 Paine

I found a listing on eBay that was only up for 15 minutes and grabbed this collection before someone else!  Got all 3 for £60,  The boxes had been opened, but the figures them self were never removed from packaging (neither was the stands).
At first I thought it was to good to be true and they may be fake, but after searching the internet and watching some unboxing videos on YouTube, I found the were 100% real.  These figures are a little smaller then the other play arts as they were the first set of play arts to be made.

Someways to check if a FFX-2 play arts is fake:
  1. The figure is the same size as other play arts.
  2. Weapons attach to the hands itself (officials have hands already affixed to the weapons).
  3. Rikku's eyes have the whirl in them (officials have no whirls, but a green contact lens look).
  4. Yuna's braid (small) is affixed to her shoulder (official is loose).
  5. Yuna's eyes are the same colour (official eyes are 1 blue and 1 green).
  6. Paine's eyes are anything but red.  (official are red)
  7. The UK/USA/EU version box doesn't have the red caution on the front.  (official UK/USA version have a red caution).
  8. Either doesn't come with a stand, or the stand isn't affixed to the inlay of the box (official stand is sealed to the blue inlay of the box).


Hope this helps, as I almost brought a fake Paine once!  CAREFUL!!
