4.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty darn good figure, but not quite as nice as the others, June 29, 2007
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
Despite the 4 stars (the reason for which I'll get to in a moment), this is a VERY nice figure and if you liked the version of Tifa in Final Fantasy: Advent Children, you'll definitely want to pick it up.
The sculpt is smooth, the face very pretty, befitting the character. It's very poseable, though not quite as much as the box picture shows (on mine, at least, the legs can't kick that high). The knees do feel a little inflexible, so I'm a bit worried they might not be all that durable.
The box is the typical window-box, so you can show off the figure, but it's much better to take it out and pose it - that's what this kind is for!
The main problem is that the figure doesn't come with any weapons (yes, I realize she didn't use any in the movie, but it'd be nice if she had SOMEthing...the other figures do), and only two sets of hands - a fist pair and open hand pair. The open hands are nice, but they can't HOLD anything! It would have been better had she come with a third pair, making a "holding" kind of formation, to hold swords or guns or whatnot.
Also, the little pink plastic ribbon on her arm could be pulled off with rough play, so I wouldn't suggest this for younger kids.
So, yes. In sum: A fine sculpt, a very nice figure, though without some of the nice additions of the other figures in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars
FF Play arts Tifa, April 10, 2009
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
Pros: Very well articulated.
Cons: The figure I got had a strange cut in the hair on the right side which made a chunk of Tifa's hair slant off to the right behind her right arm. It doesn't look normal compared to the pictures of the figure online or on the box. I think this may just be a 1 out of many cases though. Also the paint on her lips seemed kinda sloppy. Compared to the other figures this one lacks in Quality control. I believe this to be a specific case though.
Other: Tifa should of came with 3 or 4 pairs of hands instead of the just two. AC Sephiroth comes with 3 pairs and his long sword so I don't see why Tifa only comes with 2 pairs of hands when she doesn't have a weapon. She should of came with a pair of gloved open hands just like Sephiroth. Harder to find online due to her popularity. Also seems higher priced then other figures even though she has no weapon.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully designed, although a little stiff, June 17, 2009
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
This figure is beautifully designed, excellent sculpting job, the paint is perfect right down to the highlights and different colors in the iris of the eyes. The face is fair, the hair very well done and overall the form's in perfect proportion to itself, although the second set of hands (bare) are a bit to big and clunky compared to her arms, so I just left the gloved set on (They look nicer). She's very poseable, although the joints seem quite stiff and I'm afraid any strong pressure might break them. Overall, she holds difficult positions very well. One draw back (At least for mine) is that her left knee doesn't bend. The joint looks like it's sealed itself to the rest of her leg and if I try to bend it, it's just stretching the plastic in the joint. This severely limits the poses I can put her in since that leg has to stay straight, but I'm not letting that affect my rating because I'm sure it's a 1 in a 100 fluke and it doesn't distract from the overall beauty of this figure. Also, she can't spread her legs very far, like in the picture on the box. I'm giving it a 3 for durability, due to several parts that could easily break. The pink ribbon on her arm could easily come off with a sharp jerk or tug, if a child got a good hold on her skirt it could come off as well since it isn't that thick. But overall, if your a Tifa fan, or just working on your FFVII collection, this is a must buy! She's beautifully detailed, right down to the zippers on her vest and bows on her pants. Despite the downplays, I'm thoroughly pleased and thrilled with this figure! I certainly look forward to collecting the others in this series!
