Final Fantasy IX Play Arts Commentary

"Kyou no emono wa...UMAE DA!!!"

~ and today, the hunt is...YOUR WALLET! XD

Still priced at the regular 3990 Yen (about $24) each; this is where Square-Enix bids farewell to their affordable 2003-2009 Play Arts [プレイアーツ] line for them to soon make way for the pricier Play Arts -KAI- [プレイアーツ 改] that I've previously talked about in many of the entries below.

The almost Nendoroid-headed Zidane, Vivi and Garnet are due for an August release in Japan.

Zidane Tribal
ジタン・トライバル

"Based on the ninth installment of the Final Fantasy series by Square-Enix in 2000, this installment has a deep-rooted popularity with the fans. This game was even featured in the new game Dissidia Final Fantasy. A member of a large thief group, the Tantalus; the protagonist Zidane now appears in Play Arts form! You can enjoy their faithful-to-the-game charms such as their lovely heads and body along with their preculiar weapons." ~ AmiAmi

Size: 165mm (16.5 cm)

As the Hobby Japan Scan have revealed, Zidane comes with his two different daggers -- Mage Masher and Orichalcon (that of which can be placed in the holster).

Garnet til Alexandros XVII

ガーネット・ティル・アレクサンドロス17世

"Based on the ninth installment of the Final Fantasy series by Square-Enix in 2000, this installment has a deep-rooted popularity with the fans. This game was even featured in the new game Dissidia Final Fantasy. The heroine and royal summoner, lady Garnet, now appears in Play Arts form! You can enjoy their faithful-to-the-game charms such as their lovely heads and body along with their preculiar weapons." ~ AmiAmi

Little girl...big dreams.
This time, little girl...big head! XD
Little girl-big head comes with her huge microphone-esque staff.

Vivi Orunitia
ビビ・オルニティア

"Based on the ninth installment of the Final Fantasy series by Square-Enix in 2000, this installment has a deep-rooted popularity with the fans. This game was even featured in the new game Dissidia Final Fantasy. The black mage Vivi now appears in Play Arts form! You can enjoy their faithful-to-the-game charms such as their lovely heads and body along with their preculiar weapons." ~ AmiAmi

Size: 140mm (14cm)

Well, for some reason, Vivi appears to be the most anticipated figure of the trio. Can't blame them. After all, Vivi is Square-Enix's BEST HEADSCULPT EVER!!! XDDDD
Oh and Mr. Best Headsculpt comes with his oaken candy cane staff.


Now, about their sizes.

To be sold for the same price as the Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII figures which were, I believe, the last "standard-sized" Play Arts Figures that Square-Enix will release for this year and probably forever ~

Let's see how their sizes are compared to good ol' Zacky whose about 218mm tall.
(The image below is of course, a thumbnail. Click to enlarge! :D )

^ Maybe I should do one for FMA Brotherhood and Biohazard/Resident Evil 5.
Seriously, that image got me all curious. XD
