Special Thanks to TheNamemagazine for
bringing to my attention the hilarity that is Physical Action Figure NFTs is not quite over. This is where the fun begins. Yet Again. Previously on Hasbro. (2021-2023) https://www.hisstank.com/forum/toys/...verse-bid.html xxxxxxxxxx Mcfarlane XXXXXXXXxx Mcfarlane decided to join the NFT craze. (2023 threads) Some activity is still ongoing into 2024 Digital Starro Build A NFT (Not BAF, Build an NFT) https://old.reddit.com/r/dccomicscir...at_least_2025/ Wonder Woman with NFT https://old.reddit.com/r/McFarlaneFi...a_for_for_the/ (Overall NFT wave discussion.) https://old.reddit.com/r/McFarlaneFi...oman_and_more/ Bane digital figure Render NFt. Was mocked heavily. https://old.reddit.com/r/McFarlaneFi...ane_rerelease/ Mcfarlane's hardcore push to NFT discussion. https://old.reddit.com/r/McFarlaneFi..._hardcore_nft/ xxxxxxxxx Square Enix xxxxxxxxx 2023 pre-orders for 2024 items. Square Enix has decided to Tie Bring Arts Cloud and Tifa with required purchase NFTs. That funnel you into an App of their choosing too, so if you don't redeem you get double scammed. ***Calculating the NFT scam costs***** 8800 yen is the normal price of a Bring arts, meaning the price at 12,000 yen makes the NFT charge being 3200 yen. The BBTs price is whooping 130 buck from 95 bucks they used to charge so NFT yikes. Cloud Bring Arts with NFT in yen (12,000 yen) https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10904503 Cloud Bring arts with 3200 yen NFT https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...ils/213147?o=4 TIfa Bring Arts with 3200 yen NFT https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...ils/219027?o=4

It's truly insane it cost me only $30 more import or from a U.S. seller for an almost 12" Play Arts Kai than for a Bring Arts thanks to the stupid NFTs.
Especially kills me because I'm going to be stuck with multiple worthless NFTs since I got multiple Bring Arts on order. What's interesting is that they apparently stopped it after Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith. And the price of the figures (at least on AmiAmi) didn't change one iota. |

NFTs were definitely supposed to go into all of them. All the Final Fantasy 16 Bring arts, Sephiroth etc have that 12,000 price tag. Without the NFT angle, it's hard to explain this otherwise. ****An inflation era mafex is 10,260 yen MSRP max for perspective.***** Square Enix has actually out done themselves shooting themselves in the foot.
