Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - Play Arts Shin - Cloud Strife

Square Enix has announced a new Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Play Arts Shin figure of Cloud Strife, revealed on August 11 to mark Cloud’s birthday. The reveal comes only a week after the announcement of a Zidane Tribal figure from Final Fantasy IX.

As part of the Play Arts Shin series, this figure features improvements over the previous Play Arts Kai line. New hip and joint parts allow smoother, click-free articulation and a wider range of motion. A new mechanism enables the movement of the figure’s eyes, making it possible to create more varied poses.

Cloud is featuring his well-known spiky blonde hair, serious look, defined muscles, and realistic clothing details. The set includes an extra battle face with movable eyes, the Buster Sword, colored Materia pieces that can be placed in the weapon, and several swap-out hands, including one holding a flower and another holding the Black Materia.
