Square Enix started pre-orders for the new FFVII Bring Arts Cloud Strife figure, which features his Hardedge sword. The previous version of this figure included his trademark Buster Sword. It costs $119.99. The expected launch window is November 2025.
Basically, this figure is identical to the one that is already available. The change involves the equipment the character comes with as an accessory. He can wield the Hardedge. Otherwise, the figure, three pairs of hands, and everything else are the same. there is also no extra face plate, so Cloud only bears one expression.
Here’s a full look at the figure:
As a reminder, the original Cloud figure this one is based on was sold with an NFT certificate. However, the rerelease in 2024 didn’t include that. There was also a Tifa variant that, like Cloud, came with NFTs at the start, but then didn’t for the eventual rereleases.
There’s a fun bit of trivia surrounding the Hardedge sword in-game. You get it via stealing from a SOLDIER enemy. It’s the first stolen sword you can pick up for Cloud.
The FFVII Bring Arts Cloud Strife figure with Hardedge will launch in November 2025. Final Fantasy VII Remake is on the PS4, PS5, and PC, FFVII Rebirth is on the PS5 and PC, and the third entry in the trilogy is in development.
