Final Fantasy IX's lead protagonist is getting the premium figure treatment. Confirmed via Square Enix's official product listing, the Play Arts Shin Zidane Tribal figure releases February 28, 2026, priced at 26,400 JPY (tax included).
This is a confirmed release with locked pricing, so here's what's included.
Square Enix's official product listing confirms the following:
Rebuilding the joint mechanisms to remove the clicking sensation during posing, a common complaint with earlier premium figure lines, signals Square Enix continuing to refine the Play Arts Shin format's engineering rather than just updating sculpts.
As Final Fantasy IX's central protagonist, Zidane gives Play Arts Shin a genuinely iconic character to headline, and including both signature weapons in the package lets collectors display him in his classic dual-wielding pose straight out of the box.
For a figure with this level of articulation and accessories, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps everything dust-free and displayed together.
For giving Zidane shelf presence, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds dimension to a display.
February 28, 2026.
26,400 JPY, tax included.
Redesigned hip and joint parts that allow posing without clicking.
Two Mage Masher blades and his signature dagger.
Zidane Tribal gives Play Arts Shin a flagship Final Fantasy IX release with real engineering upgrades over earlier figures in the line. With pricing and the February 28 date locked in, it's worth pre-ordering ahead of release.
Having a case and stand ready means Zidane stays protected and displayed from day one.
