With life getting in the way, it’s taken me some time to get to reviewing this figure.
This figure of Noctis Lucius Caelum from Final Fantasy XV, by GameToys came out in 2025. While it is an unlicensed figure, the incredibly high standards seen before in the Final Fantasy VII figures remain here. This post/review focuses on GT-10, featuring his iconic black outfit and signature weapons based on Final Fantasy XV. There is another version – GT10-A that is based on Noctis’ FF Versus XIII look, which I’ll cover in the future.
I’ll cover the bulk of the figure, but not the details of the individual hands or base stand. Of course, everything is shown in the full video review, though!
Packaging and Presentation
As ever, the package is also important to me, and here we have a quality display box adorned with gold foil patterns and “XV” on the spine. The patterns on the box are reminiscent of the game’s main menu, featuring flower and petal designs. The added foil treatment gives it a nice, premium look. Also included is a photo-sheet, and the remainder of the inner package is as you’d expect, with a layer of the figure + hands and another for accessories.
It’s worth noting that the head parts are packaged separately – I can’t remember why, perhaps because one head may have been a bonus if you purchased both GT10 and GT10-A, not sure.
Head Sculpt and Moving eyes!
Since I ordered both body/figures, I have both heads (one with standard eye colour, one with red). It’s safe to say, GameToys once again do not disappoint with these sculpts! Noctis’ hair is sculpted with great detail, with different strand thickness and good ends to them, too. The hair feels solid, which on some figures can be daunting to handle too much (though, of course, still be gentle). The expression, while stoic, is done well, capturing his features very nicely, with clean, precise facial features.
The main difference between the two are the eye colours, one dark and one red. Functionally they are the same, and you can use the included tool to position the eyes for some extra dimension – it’s subtle but definitely something I’ve enjoyed from figures of this quality.
The Outfit: A Masterclass in Detail
Tetsuya Nomura, character designer for FFXV and others, really loves his intricate outfits, and if I recall, does it in part to challenge cosplayers. Well, I guess he also wants to challenge figure makers as well. The outfit is made with amazing detail, that I need to break it down.
- The Shirt-Jacket: Features a real working zipper (yes!), faux leather patches, and intricate stitching. It’s such a cool looking shirt-jacket, I really want one in full-size!
- The T-Shirt: It’s a grey tee, but look closely and you’ll see the skull and bones details throughout. It looks like it’s printed on, and it looks well done at that.
- The pants: Very cool, three-quarter length pants, once again with asymmetrical pattern work. Pockets, stitching and other details look great!
- Gloves/Boots – asymmetrical challenges: The figure features a glove only on the left hand, which is captured here, and made well, so left hands are all gloves with the same detailing in the game. But what might go unnoticed are the boots also featuring asymmetrical pattern and detail, which is also captured here, and GT should be applauded for trying to capture as much as possible.
Seamless vs. Jointed Arms
In the box, GT toys once again provide us with options! Jointed, plastic arms, or seamless silicone arms for added realism.
- Seamless Arms: Although these are great when new, they do get dusty and sticky over time, meaning maintenance is a bit of a faff. But man, they look great! I suggest using them sparingly, dust them off regularly and watch out for any cracks that could happen with this type of material.
- Jointed Arms: They might not look as cool, but they’re still plenty acceptable and have the articulation and motion as you’d expect. I recommend using these for dynamic poses and long-term use.
Swapping the arms can be a bit of a pain, especially when handling the seamless arms. Be gentle, get sharp objects out of the way, and if needed, use a hairdryer on lowest setting for tight sockets.
Iconic Weaponry
Noctis wouldn’t be complete without his signature sword(s). We get two, surprisingly:
- The Engine Blade: His most iconic sword, featuring a complex “engine” midsection and a gunmetal gray finish. The handle can detach – on mine a bit too easily, that is acceptable or resolvable with clear coat or paper, to equip into the relevant hand with ease. The figure looks so good with it!
- Sword of the Father: This weapon includes an articulated hinge on the trigger bit and intricate wing details on the hilt. The bulk of the sword is black, and the design sort of makes it look like it is a sheathed blade to me.
While neither sword uses metal, the details are captured to a high degree. To be fair, metal parts on these swords could be too heavy for the figure to hold, and probably more expensive, but I kinda wish they were…
Articulation
For a 1/6 scale figure at this quality and price, you might not want to pose too adventurously because after all, the risk of damage is high.
I’m probably a little more OK with posing, but I also do try to be cautious. The figure is quite typical with range of motion and articulation, with fairly obvious limits, such as neck movement due to Noctis hair, and limb movement can have some restriction due to the clothes. Still, you can go beyond just museum poses, and it’s worth doing so, because it just looks so cool!
Final Verdict
It’s hard to believe GameToys deliver this level of quality. Unlicensed? Yes, but talent is talent, and GT are indeed a talented bunch, delivering a top quality, striking figure in this Noctis piece.
To be transparent, I had one spot blemish on one of the legs, but this is not a deterrent, quite possibly only being a random chance on my copy. But I do notice it, heh.
There probably isn’t a better looking Noctis figure out there… but then again, this comes at a cost. As of writing, prices with resellers are well above $400 just for Noctis GT10, and if other figures in the GameToys line are to go by then this may creep up over time.
Whether you want something ready for your figure museum, or a standout item for your FFXV collection, this is such a fantastic collectible. I haven’t even checked the Versus XIII version or the throne, which I’m certain only enhances this figure further.
