Original Final Fantasy VII Tifa is getting the Bring Arts treatment built around her signature fighting gear. Confirmed via Square Enix's official Bring Arts listing, the Tifa Lockhart Mithril Claws Ver. figure released January 31, 2026, and is now available through the Square Enix Store and specialty import retailers, with USD pricing varying by retailer.
This is a confirmed, already-available release, though USD pricing isn't standardized across retailers, so here's what's included.
Square Enix's official Bring Arts listing confirms the following:
Building this figure around Tifa's classic Final Fantasy VII design, rather than her Remake or Rebirth appearance, gives longtime collectors a genuinely distinct alternative to the more recently released Bring Arts versions tied to the Remake trilogy.
Rather than reusing a generic weapon accessory, sculpting the Mithril Claws specifically for this release gives the figure a more accurate recreation of Tifa's signature fighting equipment than a simplified stand-in piece would offer. Tifa fights bare-knuckle as a martial artist throughout Final Fantasy VII, with claw-type weapons serving as her primary combat upgrade path, so getting that equipment right in figure form matters more for capturing her character identity than an accessory would for a more traditionally sword-or-gun-wielding character.
Basing this figure on Tifa's original Final Fantasy VII appearance rather than her redesigned Remake trilogy look gives Square Enix a way to serve the original 1997 game's dedicated fanbase directly, a collector segment that has grown alongside, rather than been replaced by, newer Remake-era releases. Since Square Enix has already produced multiple Bring Arts Tifa figures tied to the Remake and Rebirth character designs, this classic-look release fills a specific gap for collectors who prefer displaying characters as they originally appeared rather than their modernized reinterpretations.
Since Bring Arts figures are produced and priced in Japanese yen before reaching international collectors, the USD price collectors see ultimately depends on which retailer is importing the figure, current exchange rates at the time of listing, and each retailer's own markup and shipping cost structure. That's why specialty import retailers like HobbyLink Japan and Big Bad Toy Store can list meaningfully different USD prices for the exact same figure compared to the Square Enix Store's own domestic listing, even though the underlying product is identical.
For displaying Tifa in an active combat pose, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add dynamic shelf presence.
For organizing the interchangeable hands and claw pieces, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps smaller accessories sorted.
Since USD pricing isn't standardized across sellers, collectors should compare listings across the Square Enix Store and established import retailers before ordering, rather than assuming a single fixed price applies everywhere.
Since Square Enix released the matching Rufus Shinra and Turks Bring Arts figures around a similar window, collectors building a broader original-design Final Fantasy VII display should consider how this classic-look Tifa fits alongside those pieces, even though she isn't formally part of that Shinra-focused wave.
