Good Smile Arts Shanghai confirms that both Nendoroid Alice and Nendoroid Seth Lowell, characters from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: Reflections of a Distant Memory, began shipping on August 4, 2026. That places the pair squarely in the current release window as of Wednesday, August 5, 2026, rather than a future preorder promise. For collectors who follow the Nendoroid line specifically for its Final Fantasy VII tie-ins, this is one of the more notable additions this year, since Reflections of a Distant Memory content has been comparatively rare in figure form outside of larger-scale statues.
Nendoroids built around game-original or DLC-adjacent characters carry a slightly different collector calculus than mainline heroes. Alice and Seth Lowell are tied to a specific piece of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth content rather than the base game's marquee cast, which means the audience is more focused and the release is less likely to be treated as an interchangeable roster figure than a deliberate pickup for fans who specifically followed that story content.
The official shipping confirmation places both Nendoroid Alice and Nendoroid Seth Lowell in the August 4, 2026 wave from Good Smile Arts Shanghai, the studio arm of Good Smile Company that regularly handles game-tie-in Nendoroid production. As with the standard Nendoroid format, both figures include the line's signature interchangeable face plates, swappable hand parts, and a stand for posing, alongside character-specific accessories tied to their roles in Reflections of a Distant Memory.
Final Fantasy VII merchandise tends to cluster heavily around Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Sephiroth, which makes any release built around supporting or DLC-specific characters like Alice and Seth Lowell a genuine rarity. That scarcity of coverage is exactly what makes this pairing interesting for completionist collectors who track every corner of the franchise's merchandising, not just its most recognizable faces. A dedicated Nendoroid pair signals that Good Smile sees enough demand in this specific story content to justify full production, accessories, and packaging for characters who will never headline a mainline figure wave.
Because Alice and Seth Lowell are shipping in the same wave and both come from the same piece of content, many collectors will want to display them as a connected pair rather than as two unrelated additions to a broader Nendoroid shelf. That context matters for how much shelf space and visual grouping the pair deserves. Treating them as a linked duo, rather than scattering them among unrelated characters, does more justice to the specific story moment Good Smile built the figures around.
Nendoroid boxes have a distinct footprint and window design that differs meaningfully from action figure or Funko Pop packaging, which is why a generic protector rarely fits cleanly. EVORETRO's dedicated Nendoroid case is built around that exact box shape, which matters more than it might seem for a two-figure release like this, since keeping both boxes in a matching, purpose-built protector helps the pair read as a cohesive set on the shelf instead of two mismatched packages.
If you plan to open and pose both figures, a modular display case gives you room to stage Alice and Seth Lowell together with their included accessories visible, which is part of the appeal of a story-specific Nendoroid pairing like this one. If you prefer to keep them sealed as a matched shipping-wave pair, the dedicated Nendoroid protector preserves that pairing without needing to improvise a storage solution built for a different product shape.
A protective case built specifically for Nendoroid boxes is the most direct fit here, since it matches the line's actual packaging dimensions instead of forcing a generic solution onto a distinctly-shaped box. If you plan to display both figures opened and posed together, an acrylic modular case gives the pair a clean, dust-free shared display space that keeps the story-specific pairing intact.

A dedicated Nendoroid protector is the cleanest way to keep the pair matched and presentable, whether you display them boxed or posed together on a shelf.
