Final Fantasy VII's original 1997 design is getting fresh attention through Square Enix's collectible figure line. Confirmed via Square Enix's official e-STORE listing and reported by Siliconera and Essential Japan, the Bring Arts Aerith Gainsborough Mythril Rod Ver. releases March 28, 2026 in Japan, priced at 13,200 yen (approximately $85.80 USD), with a North American release following in June 2026 at $129.99.
This is a confirmed release with locked pricing, so here's what's included.
Square Enix's official e-STORE listing, as reported by Siliconera, confirms the following:
With Square Enix's recent figure output heavily focused on the Remake trilogy's redesigned character models, a Bring Arts figure built specifically around Aerith's original 1997 look gives longtime fans of the classic PS1-era game a genuinely different collectible than most current Final Fantasy VII merchandise.
Including the Mythril Rod rather than a later-game weapon ties this figure specifically to Aerith's early-game equipment loadout, reinforcing the release's focus on her classic, original-era characterization.
With the Japanese release landing in March and the North American version following roughly three months later in June, collectors outside Japan should plan around the later date and higher $129.99 price rather than the initial Japanese listing.
For the figure and its included Mythril Rod, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the weapon and face parts displayed together.
For a posed display showing off the classic design, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds shelf presence.

This Bring Arts Aerith figure gives classic Final Fantasy VII fans a genuinely nostalgic release built around her original design and early-game weapon. With a gap between the Japanese and North American release windows, it's worth confirming which date and price applies to you.
Having a case and stand ready means Aerith will be shelf-ready the moment she arrives.
