Square Enix opens orders for re-release of 32-bit polygon Cloud Strife figure
Square Enix has re-opened pre-orders for its popular soft vinyl figure of Cloud Strife, which is based on his appearance in the original Final Fantasy VII.
The original 1997 PlayStation game was a landmark title in the history of role-playing games, renowned for its epic story, its memorable characters, and its at-the-time revolutionary use of 3D graphics.
The game famously used two different graphical styles for its characters: highly detailed, more realistically proportioned models for the combat sequences, and cute, deformed, low-polygon models for exploring the game’s towns and world map.
This unique collectible is a nostalgic recreation of that low-polygon, “blocky” in-world character model.
The “Polygon Sofubi” figure is designed to be a faithful, three-dimensional representation of that iconic, deformed art style that millions of players first experienced.
The product is a soft vinyl, or “sofubi,” figure, a classic style of Japanese toy known for its durable and nostalgic feel.
It stands at approximately 15 centimeters tall, making it a perfect size for a desktop display.
While primarily a static piece, the figure does feature a limited number of articulation points in its arms, waist, and ankles, which allows for some simple posing.
This re-release offers fans of the original game a second chance to own a unique and charming piece of memorabilia that perfectly captures the aesthetic of the 32-bit era.
The “Final Fantasy VII Polygon Sofubi – Cloud Strife” is priced at ¥3,300 (approx. $22 USD/£17 GBP).
Pre-orders for this restock are currently being accepted on the official Square Enix e-STORE and the figure is scheduled to be released on Saturday, the 27th of December, 2025.
