I agree 100% about the outfit. I've got the newest Fanart Tifa and she came out great especially the outfit. It took me a while to get used to her face. Some angles look off and some look fantastic. I think it might be the skin tone being a hair too light, so it mutes the definition on her face. I definitely recommend her though.

If you haven't picked up the Sunbird Studios Advent Children Tifa, she came out great as well.

My understanding is that they are reliable. Silas I am confident in your statue care knowledge that you should be able to care for it.

I'll leave a video for Tifa, but you probably already watched it.

Thanks for the video suggestion, actually it was one of the first ones I saw, but I appreciate the recommendation none the less. I wish the headsculpt was a tad more realistic, it's not bad, but it's certainly going to get the "rooted" hair treatment to bring it up that final notch

Thanks, the care isn't my worry - to be honest, it's more about whether I can trust this studios is really using the "high grade" silicone for this statue. Given the cost of Wonder Woman Justice League from JND, and considering that the Creation Studio piece is using far more silicone....the Creation Studios piece is either the bargain of the century.......or......maybe short cuts were taken......or, option 3.....JND is a rip off......time will tell.

nice, i got that one from them little while ago. although i have not opened it and kept it in storage as i ran out of room until i clear stuff out. in the past silicone version has better detail compare to resin version and when i have choice i usually go for silicone. the only difference some time is that on silicone it usually fabric material used as outfit while sculpted on resin.

Oh nice, great to know I'm not alone in this journey

I would appreciate your opinion on the piece. Do you have any JND pieces you are able to compare it to? I'm not saying JND is necessarily a benchmark, but at least for me, it's a frame of reference.

Oh if you really want to see quality, there is an unboxing video of tifa by creation studio on YouTube. This way you can compare it yourself. I personal like it, though I wish they also had the original outfit. She did came in original but I did not see the option on fnc. Only her blue dress

It's possible but unlikely, especially if the item has been out of stock for quite a while. If you're willing to pay the aftermarket price, I would just do that.

Late to the conversation, but just wanted to add that I've had nothing but smooth statue transactions from FNC to SoCal.
