A new statue based on one of the most popular characters in the Final Fantasy franchise is making its way to American shores, and it is available through Diamond Comic Distributors.

SquareSoft's Final Fantasy line has been one of the most popular and profitable video game series in the history of the medium, with each new installment selling more copies and winning more converts than the one before it. The great things about any Final Fantasy game are the incredible storylines, entertaining side-adventures, and enchanting characters, leaving the fans a desire to play it again and again! One of the most popular games in the series was Final Fantasy VII, and one of the most popular characters from the game is the beautiful Tifa Lockhart. Now fans can nourish their nostalgia with the Final Fantasy VII Tifa Lockhart 2 Resin Statue!

Imported from Japan, this 1/8th scale statue is a marvelous representation of the gentle yet dangerous AVALANCHE member who is also the love interest for the main character, Cloud. Sculpted by Tsunehisa Namimatsu, this statue stands 8" tall, and comes painted and ready to display. Scheduled to ship in July 2002, this will be one collectible that no "Final Fan" will want to miss.
