Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Play Arts Shin Figure Revealed

Square Enix has revealed a new Play Arts Shin action figure modeled after Lightning, the protagonist of Final Fantasy XIII. The company has also opened pre-orders on its e-Store in Japan, where it will release the action figure in late October 2025 at 26,400 yen (~$178.30).

This new action figure will have a total height of around 257 mm (~10.12 inches) when Lightning is standing still. The set will come with several alternate hand pose parts. Square Enix will also include the two variations of the Blaze Edge weapon in its sword and gun modes separately.

Here are the sample images showing the parts list and some of the poses the action figure will be able to take:

Lightning will be the third character to receive a Play Arts Shin action figure adaptation. Square Enix launched the new brand with the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth version of Vincent Valentine, whose action figure will be available on August 30, 2025. The second character is Final Fantasy XV‘s Noctis Lucis Caelum, who will follow suit the month after on September 27, 2025.

The Play Arts Shin action figure of Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII will be available in Japan on October 25, 2025.
