Square Enix's Cash Cow - FF Merchandise Thread

[Channizard]

Welcome to the land of the hardcore and the sad.

This is a general 'post your merchandise thread of FF items that you may have accumulated over the years'. Granted, it may not be as extensive as mine, but you can't hold yourself to my standards. I've been collecting for 5 years or so..

So in the first photo, we have my Aerith Shrine with multiple figures, my custom made Shuyin shrine with things I have commissioned people to make for me, and at the bottom, my XIII things, little Trading Arts figures in the middle amongst Lightning and Vanille (who must stay crouched otherwise they don't fit.)



Next we have my cornerstone shelf with some Kotobukiya statues that I first started collecting a few years ago. Mostly, VII oriented.



Next we have the VII Play Arts Cast, a steal at 32$ for the lot of them (Aerith included from the other shelf) as I got them from a friend at another forum who was selling off his collection.



Next up is my massive.... miniature collection. On the bottom shelf we have miscellaneous creatures and Summons. On the middle shelf, it's X oriented with Summons on the left, merging into the middle with a few figs of Vegnagun and the Continental Circus, and then Chara figs on the far right.

On the top are the rest chara figs, going from left to right with VII down to XII.

Close up pics available at request if something looks interesting.



And then my pride and joy, which was glimpsed at in the PA pic, My Aerith Forgotten City Sculpture Arts Statue....complete with Aerith Wall scroll <3

...So if anybody has anything that they have of SE/FF Merch, feel free to post pics. Or just... discuss mine.

I'd also like to make this a general FF Merchandise thread, because my knowledge of the FF Merch is fairly extensive... how many volumes of Trading Arts, Creatures, Mini's, series exclusive figures, statuettes, what everything's worth these days, whether things are serialized or not...

They made it, I know of it.

*Thread Moved to FF Miscellaneous*

 

[Channizard]

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it belonged in General or Miscellaneous. One or the other.

 

[Channizard]

Don't tell me I'm the only sad cunt on this forum who collects FF stuff.

 

[Aselia]

I've got some stuff... but atm it's all in boxes... in the process of moving


also, $32 FOR ALL OF THAT? THE AERITH SCULPTURE ALONE IS LIKE $200

LOVING the Aerith shrine

also, is that a Turk Vincent I see on the top shelf of your minis collection...? my I see a close up of that? Vincent is amaaazing ♥

 

[Channizard]

Oh, lawd. xD My mistake. The Play Arts figs I got for 32 bucks, NOT including the Aerith Sculpture Arts on the dresser, but INCLUDING the Aerith PA figure in the shrine...

The Statue was 220$ US, and that's cheap. >.o Most places if you find it, it's either out of stock, or 350+.

Also, here's a close up of the VII cast :3 Damn Sephiroth and his curvy sword.. his penis must curve too. o;

 

[Aselia]

lol still that is really good for the Sculpture arts... they had it at the anime store in my mall and I wanna say they had it priced at $500 that was fun... I saw it and was like and then my mom was like ooh myabe I'll get it for you for your birthday... and asked the guy how much it was and was like when he told her the price... Sephi's curvy sword is FAR more amusing than it should be XD


TURK VINCENT I loooove Turk Vincent... I really wish that they had that as an unlockable costume for him in Dirge of Cerberus

KH Cloud looks badassss


Amazing collection though!

 

[Channizard]

Yeah I know. When it was first released it was sold within the 175-250 range, and that was just.. wow. Nowadays I rarely see it on eBay, and it's not even limited or serialized numbering or anything... it's just expensive shit man. I only found it by chance after googling it, looking through a store affiliates.. and boom. o;

Turk Vincent is purdy awesome, not enough merch out there for him. D;

And my KH Cloud is broken. >.o His sword came out and off.. and broke at the handle. ;-;

 

[Dionysos]

Wow.

That's a cool collection. Mine is nowhere near as impressive as that. I fit all of mine onto a single shelf, and I spread them out and group them with a few Dragonball figures and a Nightmare Before Christmas figure. I have some of the FF figures that you have but you have much more, and the layout is quite impressive too.

I'll post a picture of mine later today.

 

[Channizard]

I guess all it took was a bump for people to notice.

Only reason I have so much is just cause I'm a kid living with my folks with no schooling and only one hobby. :3

 

[Lebreau]

Holy hell, that's A LOT. I'd love to see the Aerith shrine closer up.. /hint hint

I think I have the same FFVIII ones as you, but I have all of the characters. Squall, Selphie, Zell, Irvine, Rinoa, Quistis, Seifer and Laguna I do believe. I wanted the summons as well but my dad didn't think I needed them. ... well and I think they were more money.

There's a lot of these figures at game shops and stuff for $20-$40.. you've got a huuuuuuuge, expensive collection here. I'm kinda jealous. =[

But yeah... Aerith closer? And maybe FFVIII too? D= I think that's Selphie in her SeeD uniform but I'm not sure. XD

 

[hordage]

I've got Squall, Selphie, Rinoa, Diabolos, Ifrit from VIII and X, Yuna, Tidus, Auron and Rikku, Yuffie, Vincent, Bahamut, Tifa, Spehiroth, Aerith, Zidane and the little KH figures of Sora, Cloud, Goofy, Kairi and Donald. I also have the airship from Spirits Within, and I forget the name of the series but it's the miniature Gunblade. I also have a little Yuna, Cerberus, Yunalesca and Ifrit that I got in a little package from Newburry Comics lol. I've got some of the cosplay jewelry, I don't wear it but I think it's cool so it's nice to have hehe. The rest of the stuff is in another box that I can't find since we've moved I'd love to post a picture but since I have no where to put them currently, they're all in boxes

 

[Channizard]

The summons are hard to find. D; All the jap versions come with a piece of the Ragnarok which requires 8 pieces to build.. it's pretty epic looking and I want et, but not all of the summons like Cerberus and Diablos.. I'm after the Shiva figs, the VIII and the newer Master Creatures Shiva from X. She's so pretty and epic looking, but any place I order her online, something happens that requires me to just end up with a refund. =/

Yar it's pretty expensive shit. >_> The Kotobukiya's by themselves like Aerith, Cloud, Seph, Yuffie, Tifa.. go for about 50-60 each.. A lot of the smaller figures come in box sets for around 30-40.. but the most I've spent on anything is the Aerith statue at 220, and then the Shuyin doll at 120$, cause he's custom made.

Here's a close up of the VIII figs with VII/IX on the side.. I have a Rinoa and Siren too, but they're borrowed by a friend for reference who's painting a model of the Rinoa/Siren sculpt. :3

Selphie doesn't wanna apparently stand straight. xD



And my beloved Aerith shrine. :3 I'd put the statue up there, but it's a wee too tall, too wide of a base to fit, and that shelf is right above our bed, and it may... crush us. x_X

 

[Fusionist]

I hate you so much right now, Channy

That's a kick-ass collection, especially if you got all those figurines barring a few for less than 40 dollars. My penny pincher side gives you a thumb's up =Db

Well, here's what I got:

FFX Tidus with Dissidia Squall chillin' with SMT Raiho

Now that I have a job, I would have SO much more, but S-E doesn't ship to Canada, and I don't go to any cons or know any specialty stores to buy figurines from Dx

 

[Channizard]

Cons? SE Shop? Bitch please this was all from eBay.

I live way too far out in the middle of nowhere that the nearest Con, if possible ever be in Vancouver, and that's 8 hours away. And yeah, SE doesn't ship to us for some reason. I emailed them about that, but never got a response.

Also 40$ for all of that do you mean? HECK NO. Under 40$ was just in that one picture of the VII cast, I got those from another forum friend who was getting rid of his collection.

ALL TOGETHER with all the shelves, it's easily.. 2000$ if not pushing more.

Also I got this little gem in the mail today after 3 weeks :3

 

[Etheriah]

I can honestly say my collection is a lot bigger than yours...which is really not cool.

I couldn't take it with me when I moved cause I didn't have enough room. So it's all in boxes at my parents' house =/
I'll photograph them all next time I go to visit.
But suffice to say my last count of the money I spent was over £3,000...so like, over $4,500...
A lot of the values have went up since I bought them though.

Like, I paid £90 for the cast Diablos with Irvine and Zell on him, because he was broken. Irvine's ponytail broke off, and had to be glued back on, and Diablos's tail is cracked. But even with that, I reckon he's now worth at least £200, probably more, considering there's only 1000 in the world and mine's number...246? I think?

I also have the full set of 1/6 scale FFX figures, minus Rikku.
And your cast collection?
I have all the originals, plus the remakes of Tifa and Vincent.
Think those are my most noteworthy figures.

I also have literally hundreds of playarts figures.
Plus the full sets of the first two Trading Arts figures, minus Turks Vincent.

I'll make a list later, and take pictures of them all. But I reckon I have over 100 different figures.
Don't have many minis though, other than the Trading Arts figures. They're mostly all 8 inch figures, but I have quite a few bigger ones as well...

It's a 4-year collection, and worth more than I'd like to admit...
I need a new hobby...

 

[noname1520]

You all put me to shame . If you compare this thread to me, I look like a FF hater . This is all my FF merchendise put together: *Box of Dissidia: Final Fantasy* I lost it so I couldn't event take a picture of it . I got it for $20.

 

[Channizard]

I've since added to my collection but everything's boxed away while I'm renovating my room. Once it's done I plan on taking new pictures. I work on Aerith mostly and got a couple custom made statues of her just to make my collection more unique. Other than that, I collect mostly VII stuff, with other small TA's when they're cheap just to pad out my collection.

 

[Fusionist]

Channizard, where do you keep getting these awesome ebay deals form? I'm seeing prices that are the same if not MORE for the same S-E merchandise

 

[Channizard]

Like for what? I haven't really said how much I got for some stuff. o.o The VII PA sets I got from a guy on another FF Merch forum who was unloading his collection and wanted them to go to a good collector home. The Aerith statue I scoured the nets for days until I found on a website where she was quite cheap at around 200 bucks. But I think it's because one of the Lifestream tips is broken.
