FF7 collectors beware: Aerith statue is gorgeous but pricey photo

Final Fantasy

There aren't enough games out there that have such inspiring moments that they warrant their own sculptures. Not surprisingly, Final Fantasy 7 is one of those games, and surely most of you recognize this scene. The sculpture is sure to elicit a shriek of joy from many a Square-Enix collector, or perhaps a few shrieks of horror as well: Its current retail price is $239.99. You can pre-order the statue at Entertainment Earth to ensure you get your own before the February 2008 release date. Then you can relive the tears shed for Aerith's passing in the privacy of your own home as often as you like. Perfect!

Meh, I was always all about Tifa anyway.

ceark at 10/08/2007 15:18

I think I wlil be buying this one.

A New Challenger at 10/08/2007 15:19

That's almost as much as a Wii.

NightDehumidifier at 10/08/2007 15:26

I heard she dies ya know.

Baron Calico at 10/08/2007 15:30

Wonder if "Would you kindly..." will get its own statue in 10 years...

ArrestedDeveloper at 10/08/2007 15:32

Snape kills Aerith!

Necros at 10/08/2007 15:33

SNAPE KILLS AERITH

Necros at 10/08/2007 15:34

Dammit ArrestedDeveloper, try to have some respect for the dead.

ArrestedDeveloper at 10/08/2007 15:35

I started playing FF7 for the first time about a year ago and didn't get to far into it (I got to that circus place) before I started playing other games. Now I don't know if I should just finish it or wait for the inevitble remake a couple years down the road.

Brian Keljore at 10/08/2007 15:35

Please excuse me while I go vomit.

Cowboy TTop at 10/08/2007 15:54

That's beautiful. I want but its so expensive. Destructoid, get some of these for a competition from SE.

@Baron: That'd be fucking sweet dude. It could have (content deleted due to spoilers) next to him.

Do want the Aeris, maybe I ax for it for mai birthday.

DGX Goggles at 10/08/2007 17:09

Tifa > Aerith

atheistium at 10/08/2007 18:11

i just want it .. so bad..

Nocturnal XVIII at 10/08/2007 18:17

God dammit Collete...
Are you trying to make me poor?

Aequitas at 10/08/2007 18:25

I can sell plasma to get one. Yesss.

IceMax at 10/08/2007 19:06

Wow, square-enix store totally wants to rape my wallet right now, sadly the plush catuar is sold out :(

Wedge at 10/08/2007 19:08

I hate FF VII so much. Not because it's bad, but because every other FF is better and this one gets whored out to death with cool crap =<. How much more bad ass would that Amano picture of Terra on a Magitek be as a model?

Your moms new boyfriend at 10/08/2007 23:24

She's dead. Deal.

Besides, there's much more (alive) fake girls to fap to. I won't spend $250 on a hooker, why should I spend it on a plastic statue?

Fading Star at 10/09/2007 01:26

Sephiroth killed Aerith and now Colette has killed my wallet.

Fading Star at 10/09/2007 01:31

Oh man...I am broke.

catsithx at 10/09/2007 03:14

It would have been cooler if they had sepherioth coming down with his sword to with it then I would buy it other wise no

hjd uk at 10/09/2007 04:12

heheh, just need a sephiroph dangling from a string above it.

brimtastic at 10/09/2007 06:11

Sometimes I feel like the only Squeenix nerd in the whole wide world who really didn't care when she died (spoilers OMG!). In fact, I was quite glad.

nademagnet at 10/09/2007 07:26

Looks cool... but not $239.99 cool.

Virtualgirl at 10/09/2007 19:54

ugh! That is to expensive! I still really want the cloud vs sephy statue from AC. But I just bought a sideshow Lara Croft statue for as much, so this will have to wait...lol

Doomtrain at 10/09/2007 23:38

<shitstorm>

Aeris.
