Square Enix Adds 7 New Characters to Final Fantasy VII’s Adorable Official Plush Collection
Square Enix is expanding its adorable Final Fantasy VII Rebirth plush mascot collection with seven more characters from the beloved RPG, bringing together even more members of Cloud’s growing group of allies.
The new additions to the “Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Pocket Peeplets” series include Zack Fair, Barret Wallace, Red XIII, Yuffie Kisaragi, Cait Sith, Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind, each recreated as a miniature plush mascot with an oversized head and expressive eyes.
Originally launched as part of Square Enix’s growing range of portable character merchandise, Pocket Peeplets are designed to be small enough to carry on bags or backpacks, with soft, fluffy textures and simplified versions of each character’s original appearance.
The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth range initially featured Cloud Strife, Aerith Gainsborough, Tifa Lockhart and Sephiroth, with the four designs making an early appearance among the exclusive merchandise revealed for the opening of Square Enix’s Shanghai store.
Square Enix subsequently expanded the series to include characters from Final Fantasy X, with its seven-character Pocket Peeplets collection recreating Tidus, Yuna and their companions in the same miniature style.
The latest Final Fantasy VII Rebirth additions broaden the selection considerably, introducing characters whose appearances and personalities are very different from the original four.
First released in 2024, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continued the remake trilogy’s story as Cloud and his companions left Midgar behind to explore the wider world, encountering new allies and uncovering more of the mystery surrounding Sephiroth.
The expanded Pocket Peeplets lineup brings several of those adventurers together, including former SOLDIER Zack Fair and three characters who played supporting roles in Rebirth but were fully playable party members in the original Final Fantasy VII.
Let’s take a closer look at all seven new characters!
- Zack Fair
The former SOLDIER operative joins the collection with his spiky black hair and dark uniform, recreating the protagonist of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII in the Pocket Peeplets series’ cheerful miniature proportions.
- Barret Wallace
The outspoken leader of AVALANCHE receives a plush mascot that recreates his imposing appearance, including his muscular build, distinctive hairstyle, and mechanical gun-arm.
- Red XIII
The intelligent, lion-like companion brings a different shape to the lineup, with his red fur, long mane, and elaborate head decorations adapted into a soft plush design.
- Yuffie Kisaragi
Wutai’s energetic ninja joins the collection wearing her green outfit, with her short dark hair and playful expression reflecting the young warrior’s spirited personality.
- Cait Sith
The mysterious, fortune-telling cat appears as a miniature mascot with his black-and-white coloring, small crown, and red cape, recreating the character without his enormous Moogle companion.
- Vincent Valentine
The former Turk receives a miniature interpretation of his dark outfit and flowing red cloak, with his long black hair and serious expression preserving the character’s gothic appearance.
- Cid Highwind
The veteran pilot completes the new group with a plush design based on his Final Fantasy VII Rebirth appearance, including his blond hair, aviation-inspired clothing, and goggles.
Each mascot is made primarily from polyester, with metal components used for the attachment hardware, allowing the characters to be hung from bags or displayed together on a shelf.
The new designs measure approximately 14 to 14.5 cm tall depending on the character, keeping them close in size to the original Pocket Peeplets while allowing for differences in their hairstyles and outfits.
Square Enix has also highlighted the series’ suitability for nui-katsu, a popular Japanese hobby in which fans take their favorite plush characters on outings, dress them up, and photograph them in different locations.
Pre-orders for the seven new “Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Pocket Peeplets” plush mascots, priced at ¥2,090 each (approximately $13 USD / £10 GBP), are now open via HobbyLink Japan ahead of their scheduled release in March 2027.
