Prime 1: Final Fantasy VII - 1/4 Statues

bangkok_wolf · Dec 19, 2024

I have seen P1 berserk Gutz sword with a noticable warp at a statue shop when things were reopening after covid and it looked pretty bad.

Was considering getting Cloud, but seeing that it would need a separate stand for the sword, i guess i'm out. Still looking forward to Tifa & Aerith though.

The Zack and Cloud head sculpts are absolutely phenomenal, Zack in particular. Sephiroth is great too but I feel like he's slightly off from some angles? Maybe just me.

Im gonna guess $6,100 for the set, $1900 for Zack/Cloud. Sephiroth $2300

This seems like a good guess... sephiroth only had the detachable wing so it might only have 1 version at a higher cost than the others basic version.

The Facebook guy did say to expect prices closer to the 2B... don't think he specified the 1/4 or 1/3 tho

Ryu · Dec 19, 2024

Yeah, the FB but did say closer to 2B in price and that Nomura is more of a businessman than Amano so hopefully the same as other P1's. The doll 1/4 was $2000US.

P1 really do have a bad habit of leaning and Vergil isn't an isolated incident. There's the famous endoskeleton, etc. it's not every statue of course

Maybe you're including shipping? The doll is on their site at $1200, maybe scalpers are selling at 2k but it's not even sold out lol.

The Joel, Ellie & Clicker diorama at DX version is 1999, so a single 1/4 person on a relatively simple base should typically be closer to 1200-1400... then add the SQEX tax

My guess is 4-5k range

Preorders will be opening on Prime 1's official website, not the Square Enix store as originally thought.

Here are the official launch times:

PO date and time for major time zones
-Tokyo, Japan Tue, 24 Dec 2024, 11:00
-Los Angeles, CA, USA Mon, 23 Dec 2024, 18:00
-New York, NY, USA Mon, 23 Dec 2024, 21:00
-London, United Kingdom Tue, 24 Dec 2024, 02:00
-Paris, France Tue, 24 Dec 2024, 03:00
-Berlin, Germany Tue, 24 Dec 2024, 03:00
-Sydney, Australia Tue, 24 Dec 2024, 13:00
-Dubai, United Arab Emirates Tue, 24 Dec 2024, 06:00

At least that gives us the option for payment plans, as opposed to paying in full through SE. Although P1's shipping fees are super high...

Found some more information on Prime 1's YouTube channel.

The descriptions for each of the statues indicates that there will be DX versions of each statue, but in addition, it seems like they're going to sell Cloud vs. Sephiroth as a deluxe bundle that includes an exclusive weapon for Cloud: the Force Eater (Stealer?).

DX info bolded below. Seems like Cloud DX comes with alt arms and the Crystal Sword. Sephiroth DX comes with the wingless body, and Cloud + Sephiroth bundle comes with everything above plus the Force Stealer.

Cloud’s stance, with his great sword slung over his shoulder and his body poised for action, faithfully recreates his in-game presence. His pose, meticulously realized in 1/4 scale, is based on detailed analysis of his movements and physique.

Even details like the three screws and aged texture of his pauldron demonstrate the highest level of painting and sculpting expertise. Each form and detail is imbued with a sense of artistry.

The bottom layer of the specially designed base features a blue hexagonal pattern. This design is also incorporated into the bases of the same series' “Sephiroth” and “Zack Fair” statues, allowing for a unified display when placed together.

With his long sword radiating quiet menace and his stance exuding an air of supremacy, this statue faithfully captures the unforgettable in-game presence of Sephiroth. Every detail of his iconic appearance has been analyzed, from his flowing silver hair and Mako-infused eyes filled with madness, to the mesmerizing blade pattern on Masamune and the imposing black wing extending from his right shoulder. This 1/4 scale masterpiece showcases the highest level of painting and sculpting craftsmanship, bringing each form and detail to life with unparalleled artistry.

The bottom layer of the specially designed base features a blue hexagonal pattern. This design is also incorporated into the bases of the same series' "Cloud Strife" and "Zack Fair" statues, allowing for a unified display when placed together.

Cloud strikes a defensive stance, holding his great sword at mid-guard, while Sephiroth stands poised with quiet menace radiating from his long blade. This 1/4 scale masterpiece brings to life their fateful confrontation, as they face each other on their journey to overcome the past and destiny itself. From the Buster Sword, capable of equipping Materia, to the mesmerizing blade pattern of Masamune, the dynamic spiky hair, and the imposing black wing extending from Sephiroth’s right shoulder, every detail of their iconic forms has been meticulously crafted. Each element is imbued with unparalleled craftsmanship and artistry.

Wow that's surprising they will sell it on their site directly (might mean their other distributions like sideshow are open as well). Should make it easier for people to order.

The force eater is the Japanese name for the umbral blade.

That's weird that the DX sephiroth is the body without the wing...

Yeah, you'd think it'd be the other way around but I suppose that's good that the regular version is the most "complete". Could also be a description error, but I doubt it considering the Cloud vs Sephiroth description also confirms that.

I wonder if the Cloud vs Sephiroth bundle will be discounted in any way compared to buying them separately (lol it won't

).

Oops. I was including conversion to Canadian plus all the extra taxes we have to pay for polystone and didn't even including shipping yet (yeah, it's that bad) and after a while I mistook it for the base American price. I'm hoping for the best with these VII pieces. The one FB guy at p1 did say it won't be as bad so

I’m not a financial bro or anything but shouldn't the Two statue set be a little cheaper than two single buys?

dominishin · Monday at 8:43 PM

Jesus christ WHAT? It's a straightforward fully polystone 1/4 for god sakes not even silicone or anything. The base is not even elaborate just a bunch of rocks. I mean just look at other statues like Levi where there is whole action scene and a giant beast titan face and arm for less than a single 1/4 Cloud. This is 3x the price it should be, I'm ****ing out.

even so lol. the sword is cool and it sucks that the only way to get it at all is in the double-pack, but man... it's still a bad look when the two combined provide no discount and actually cost a hundred bucks more. Another hundred dollars for the Umbral Blade

(now if the double-pack had provided full switchouts so that cloud could be in his outfit from the play... hah)

*sigh* all too rich for my blood I think.

I am/was hoping they'll do Barret, and I think we read that that's the intention... but how would they price him, then? He won't command that sort of price, right? but will still probably be overpriced. Was interested in Clive at some point, too, but... yeh I don't know.

EDIT: 2300usd is almost 3700australian, then add in shipping (though it'll be subsidised somewhat if buying from local retailer) and the retailer's markup, it'll probly be like 4200 bucks here for Cloud

dominishin · Monday at 9:13 PM

Can't stress enough how this is a damn polystone 1/4... this is JND pricing. Like wtf man. The Cloud likeness isn't even good enough to warrant that (though Seph's is quite good).

Excuse me you're forgetting

"With unmatched sculpting, coloring, and storytelling,"

the unmatched storytelling

edit: and also, the support rods for ths swords that they supposedly don't need
