June 2004 - Two statues based on one of the most popular games in the Final Fantasy franchise is making its way to American shores, and they are available in North America exclusively through Diamond Comic Distributors!

Square-Enix'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 key selling points of any Final Fantasy game are the incredible storylines, entertaining side-adventures, and enchanting characters, leaving the fans ready to play it again and again! One of the best selling installments of the series was Final Fantasy VII, which broke sales records with 3.26 million units sold in Japan in its release in 1997. Now fans can relive the game with the Final Fantasy VII: Aerith Resin Statue and Final Fantasy VII: Cloud Resin Statue!

Imported from Japan, these highly detailed statues are from Kotobukiya - creators of the Final Fantasy X: Yuna Vinyl Statue, Final Fantasy X: Heretic Yojimbo & Heretic Bahamut action figures, and Armored Core action figures. These ststues were previously available and have been out of print for quite some time. They commanded high sales figures in the secondary market, and are now making a huge return! The Aerith statue stands 8" tall, and magnificently depicts the perky, faithful, and steadfast warrior. The Cloud statue stands 9" tall, and features the games' giant-sword-wielding hero in unbelievable detail. Both statues come painted and ready to display with the rest of the Final Fantasy collectibles. Scheduled to ship in October 2004, these will be two sculptures that no "Final Fan" will want to miss!
