One of Final Fantasy’s Best Characters Officially Returns in 2027
Square Enix has opened pre-orders for two premium 1/4-scale Aerith Gainsborough statues based on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, with delivery expected in 2027. The release matters to collectors because Aerith is one of the series’ most prominent characters and the figures are part of the company’s high-end Masterline range with Prime 1 Studio.
The regular edition costs $2,200 and is expected to ship in October 2027, while the deluxe edition costs $2,400. Both stand roughly 54–58 cm tall and include a Rebirth-themed base, but the deluxe version adds interchangeable heads, arms and hands, mixed-material clothing, and multiple weapon or prayer display options.
In short
- Aerith statues are available to pre-order for 2027.
- Prices range from $2,200 to $2,400.
- The deluxe edition includes several interchangeable accessories.
Explained simply
Final Fantasy is a long-running role-playing game series made by Square Enix. Final Fantasy VII, first released in 1997, follows a group resisting the powerful Shinra company; Aerith Gainsborough is a flower seller who becomes central to the story.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a modern reimagining of part of that game, with updated graphics and expanded scenes. Aerith’s importance across the series helps explain why collectors may be interested in a detailed figure based on her Rebirth appearance.
The statues are part of a premium range made by Square Enix with specialist studio Prime 1 Studio. Their size, materials and display accessories place them among high-priced collectibles aimed at fans and collectors.
