Final Fantasy mystery minis

[sylin]

We need more video game minis, so how about Final Fantasy?

If we ever got a minis set like this, I think it might look something like (assuming 1/12 ratio):

- Cloud Strife (FFVII)
- Aerith Gainsborough (FFVII)
- Zack Fair (FFVII)
- Sephiroth (FFVII, I think we'd be due for a lot of characters from VII)
- Squall Lionheart (FFVIII)
- Zidane Tribal (FFIX)
- Tidus (FFX)
- Yuna (FFX)
- Cecil Harvey (FFIV)
- Terra Branford (FFVI)
- Lightning (FFXIII)
- Noctis Lucis Caelum (FFXV)

There's a lot of characters to choose from overall, though. Funko can go in any direction they'd like with this license, methinks. Please, Funko?

haven't been a fan of the FF series for a long time, but I would still really enjoy these. but i'd love them even more if they had more creatures in them, moogles and chocobos are a given but man how awesome would a little Tonberry be? haha, but only 1 character from 6 on your list? for shame

[jester00]

No Cid at all? Shame on you

[Mr Yac]

No Cid at all? Shame on you

which one?

[CAHRULL]

I would be soooo into this! There's too many games and too many beloved characters to make it easy to launch FF as a Pop series, but doing Mystery Minis could solve a lot of those problems.

and honestly these would work much better as minis then pops, especially for the older (and far superior ) sprite based games

Now you're speaking my language!

[brown]

They need chocobos and cacutars too!

[Mr Yac]

They need chocobos and cacutars too!

how's about one for the characters and then a separate Bestiary line for all the critters and summons?

[Sarcasticguy]

I feel like Cid would need a series all his own haha.

Yea that would be a cool idea, now I'm thinking about how great all the summons would look too!

[sylin]

which one?

Basically. I guess they'd probably go with Cid Highwind but they might omit him altogether for s1, I'd think.

[LordBlackCat]

Get rid of Zach from your lineup and it sounds like a good start.

I'm happy to see there are others who love Tonberry!

[Mr Yac]

I'm happy to see there are others who love Tonberry!

easily my favorite FF critter, love those little weirdos.

[CAHRULL]

I think Moogles and Chocobos would be must-haves for me as well.

[Mr Yac]

I think Moogles and Chocobos would be must-haves for me as well.

yeah, a Mog in particular would pretty much be essential. and I could see some Choco variants with the different colored birds pretty easily.

[LordBlackCat]

I would love Choco variants - I wouldn't be bummed out on not being able to find the rare ones!

[CaseyJones14]

10 different Chocobo colors

[Mr Yac]

10 seems a bit excessive, i'd say 3 would be plenty. Yellow, Black and Gold

[hawkswin2008]

Man these would be a neat, never-ending mini line with markets in the US and abroad. I would love to see these and would have to complete every set of them if they decide to go down this path.

[GeekyFinds]

So we're just going to leave Tifa and Barrett off the list..SHAME!!!! LOL

[Libertyroxx]

These would be rad, but as much as I love a ton of the characters I'm just as if not more interested in getting chocobos and moogles. Kupo.

[mikechickenhead]

FF minis would be awesome.....

[Mr Yac]

So we're just going to leave Tifa and Barrett off the list..SHAME!!!! LOL

already way to much 7 on the initial list as it is

I just think there'd be a lot of VII in a general FF set, not so much that it's based on my personal taste (FFVI and FFIX are my favorites). I also don't think they'd put in Barrett and Tifa initially. Well, maaaaaybe Tifa has a better chance but Barrett (also Cid and Cait Sith) tends to not get much merchandise in comparison to some of the other leads.

[Mr Yac]

i'd say if anything Kefka would be a great series 1 addition, he is the greatest Final Fantasy villain of all time after all.

[Snapz]

I can see all the duodecim costumes as chase figures.

[Sarcasticguy]

If Funko ever acquired the license, I'd seriously love to see every game get a MM set... each one has very iconic characters to fill a 1/12 roster easily.


Realistically, I think FF4, FF7 and FF10 getting the most love, as those 3 get the most attention already anyways.

[Snapz]

I believe 15 will be the heavily promoted one as it comes out later this month.

[Mr Yac]

FF4

I don't think I've seen anybody mention 4 pretty much ever, 6 on the other hand is usually regarded as one of the greatest RPGs ever made.

[Hopesdenial]

I'd be all up on these if they came out. Chocobo would be nice to add as well ^_^

[CAHRULL]

My personal favorite is 6, so I'd obviously like to see a bunch of characters from it...but I think realistically they'd probably do 1-2 characters from as many different titles as possible.

in a perfect world yes, but if the million Harley Quinn and Deadpools tells us anything about reality the entire line would be Cloud and Lightning variants.

[LordBlackCat]

Way back in the day, the fight was always between 4 and 6 for best game. 6 seems to be more fondly remembered now.

I loved the Dissidia character choices. A perfect world would have releases for each game, but I'd be happy for 1-2 from each game in one big set. If Funko went ahead and made these they'd probably do something like gears of war; a bunch from the new game with some old favorites.

either you had a more worldly group of friends in your youth than I did or your "back in the day" isn't quite as far back as mine was, with 4 and 5 being skipped in the US and 6 being rebranded as 3 when it first came out I didn't even know anybody who even knew 4 existed yet alone played it for a long time.

[Battastic]

I think this is a cool idea, but we really need to get that Vintage Game mini set first....then think of the future

We were supposed to get the 80s Arcade set but that's either delayed or cancelled...

[Sarcasticguy]

FF4

Really? Cecil and Kain are really popular characters, 4 has been redone and ported a lot.

I know 6 is popular, but 4, imo has had a lot more attention.

4 was released in the US as "2" and 6 as "3".

Well, we called 4 by its original name 2 and 6 by its original name 3 until we got to high school and heard that they changed the names to confuse school kids in their playground fights.
