Claire Farron - a.k.a.: Lightning Collection

[Trellgoth]

Just wanted to show my starting collection of Lightning, from Final Fantasy XIII.
It's far from complete, but I think it's a cool start though.

So, what's in the collection so far?

Final Fantasy XIII CE - Xbox 360 outerbox with PS3 game (don't ask).
Final Fantasy XIII JP import
Final Fantasy XIII-2 CE
Collector's Guide for Final Fantasy XIII
Collector's Guide for Final Fantasy XIII-2
Steelcase of Final Fantasy XIII-2
Dutch PlayStation Magazine with Final Fantasy XIII-2 cover
Xbox 360 Faceplate from Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII-2: Lightning - Play Arts Kai Collector's Figure
Custom made Lightning framed artwork


Still looking for a nice, cheap Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Play Arts figure. There are some on eBay, but have to wait for a moment that I can spare the cash on it.
Also have Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII in pre-order. But still waiting on some news if there'll be Collector's Editions or not.

The Collection:

It's cool collection, but Lightning is easily one the worst FF characters there has ever been. I look forward to the day Square Enix stop shoving her down everyone's throats. Noel is a much better character.

Not sure about that, as I give kudos to the series for bringing up a strong female character as the lead... Anyway, she was voted as the number one favorite FF female character by the Japanese, so I don't think Square Enix is dropping her anytime soon.

By the way, nice collection you got there Trellgoth! Hope to see more of it!

Nice Collection. Welcome!

[AndyTheCollector]

:welcome: and enjoy your stay here! I love that framed artwork! :)

[toxicatom5]

Collection looks great together!

Did you make the Custom made Lightning framed artwork yourself?

Hi there, Trellgoth. Thanks for sharing your collection. I think this is the first collection I've seen that is solely inspired and uniquely focused on one character! I've the same question as everyone else about your custom Lightning artwork. :v::wave:

Also I believe there is are a few ps3 variants with Lightning painted on the shell. Will you try to get one?

[Trellgoth]

Thanks for the replies on my collection so far.
To answer the question about the frame: No, I did not make it myself. A buddy of mine works at a frame-company which makes banners, flags, frames, etc. I found the artwork one day, kept it on my computer for a long time. After a while I asked to frame the artwork up.

The question about the Lightning-printed PS3: Yes, I realy like to get one for the collection. Though, I have seen those on eBay for about $600 - $900... think that's a bit high for only the console. But hey, perhaps the future will offer me a cheaper one which I can actualy afford.

At this moment, I'm waiting for the release on the new Play Arts Kai, Lightning Returns figure. It realy looks stunning ^^ (click (http://cdn.inthegame.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Lightning-Returns-Play-Arts-Figure.jpeg?afe17e)!)

If I may ask... Where did you find that image that you printed out?

I ask because I've had a lot of people erasing my email and url that I have at the bottom wallpapers and claiming them as their own.

Just curious as to where you got it.

Hi. Sorry for the (very) delayed reply. Haven't been on the forums for a while.

To answer your question about the artwork, I realy cant rember how or where I got the picture. Probably browsing google images or something.
The picture did not have any email or url at the bottom to be honest. I wouldn 't have printed it if there was. At these situations I normally contact the person who made it and ask if it's okay if I use it.
I'm very sorry about this, since it looks like this was made by you.

I bookmarked your link to the artwork and will give credit in future posts. Again, sorry about that.



[edit]
Got my CE Guide of Lightning Returns today.
New photo of my collection (part of it) can be found on my instagram:

Will try to make normal photo's and place them in here. But have to get my hand on an actual computer first. Doing everything from my phone for the last couple of weeks tbh.

Nice stuff dude, i really like the artwork. I'm a big fan of FF13 though a lot of FF fans seem to shun the series and the character for some reason.

Welcome to the forum BTW ~:)
