Play Arts Kai Jun Kazama - Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Review

Oooook, first things first, i'd like to thank bro Anton Aldon of Play Arts Kai Philippines Trading Group  for trading his Play Arts Kai Jun Kazama figure to me, making this review possible. It is only fitting that i prioritize this review over the Play Arts Kai Guile though Guile's pics have been on the waiting area for some days now. Ok, on to the review...

Jun is one of the few characters that i remember well back from the Playstation 1 days of Tekken, maybe because she regularly beat my guys (King & Heihachi) - on a side note, my brother is very fond of using her and her son, (Jin in Tekken 3) who inherited some of her moves so i'm certainly not a newbie going against her. To be honest, i'm not particularly excited to see her on the 1st Wave of Play Arts Kai TTT2 alongside Kazuya, though i imagine it's unavoidable since she's the "Unknown" Final Boss in the game. I have no plans of acquiring her, actually, but after seeing what they did to Kazuya i figured she's worth a try.

Play Arts Kai Kazuya Mishima - Tekken Tag Tournament 2

The Tekken franchise lost it's hold on me over the years, but man, was I a fanatic back in the day. Though i do hold the controller again once in a while i never really used Kazuya (i'm a Ling Xiaoyu guy by the way). I read though that he won the latest Tag Tournament of The King of The Iron Fist. To me, Kazuya is to the old Tekken games what Ryu is to Street Fighter and  I wouldn't miss him for the world. Besides, everybody loves a good anti-hero.

The Tekken line of Play Arts Kai took quite a while to get here after the convention previews last year. Kazuya and his ex-lover Jun Kazama graced the initial wave and i do hope they continue making the rest of the Mishima/affiliates line - Jin, Heihachi, Lars, Devil Jin, et.al.. For one thing, the Play Arts Kai translation of Kazuya is pretty impressive indeed...

Play Arts Kai Kazuya and Play Arts Kai Jun Kazama colored protos revealed!

Just saw these pics yesterday from the Play Arts Kai Tekken Tag Tournament 2 line and i'm so d@mned excited! By the way, these were taken at TGS 2012. Kazuya looks great though his body sculpt and detailing reminds me of Play Arts Kai SSF4 Ryu and Akuma. Seems like the King of the Iron Fist Tournament participants will be in the same scale as those. The real surprise though is the very impressive face-sculpt of Jun Kazama. Those who are already playing the game will agree with me that she's dead-on with the in-game character design. Can't wait for these babies to show up soon.
Thanks to Touya of FinalFantasyMerchandise for sharing the pics and MarshallAlloc, the source.

Just got this news from bro orochicoops of PinoyToyKolektors forums and Zelu1984 of FinalFantasyMerchadise, seems like we'll be seeing the Tekken characters make their much awaited transition to Play Arts Kai.
