Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's most pivotal character is getting a premium quarter-scale treatment through Square Enix's high-end statue partnership. Confirmed via Prime 1 Studio and Square Enix's official reveal and reported by GoNintendo, the 1/4 scale Aerith Gainsborough statue is priced at 264,000 JPY (approximately $1,612 USD / €1,417 EUR), part of the Square Enix Masterline series, with a release window of December 2027.
This is a confirmed reveal with locked pricing, though the release date is well out, so here's what's included.
Prime 1 Studio and Square Enix's official reveal, as reported by GoNintendo, confirms the following:
With a confirmed December 2027 release window, this statue sits considerably further out than most reveals covered here, so collectors should budget for a genuinely long wait between placing a pre-order and receiving the finished piece, typical for Prime 1 Studio's premium Masterline tier.
As part of Square Enix's own premium licensed statue partnership with Prime 1 Studio, this Aerith statue sits in the same high-end tier as the studio's other Final Fantasy VII Rebirth character releases, reflecting Square Enix's continued investment in top-shelf collectibles tied to the Remake trilogy. That direct publisher involvement typically means tighter design oversight than a third-party license, since Square Enix reviews the sculpt and pose choices alongside Prime 1 Studio's own team.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth covers some of the character's most pivotal story beats, and choosing her Rebirth-specific attire over her original 1997 appearance ties this statue directly to the Remake trilogy's ongoing narrative rather than nostalgia for the original release. For long-time fans, that distinction matters given how central Aerith's arc becomes across the trilogy's back half.
Between the reveal and the December 2027 release window, collectors have well over a year to plan display space and finalize other Final Fantasy VII Rebirth companion pieces, including the Tifa statue revealed alongside it, before this particular piece actually ships.
For a quarter-scale statue with a detailed base, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the piece dust-free during its long pre-order wait and beyond.
For centerpiece display, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add elevated shelf presence.
When a publisher like Square Enix directly partners on a statue line rather than licensing the character out broadly, collectors generally get tighter fidelity to the source material's official art direction, since the publisher's own team reviews pose, costume, and expression choices alongside the manufacturer.
Beyond the figure itself, Prime 1 Studio's reveal specifically calls out a detailed base as part of this piece, which typically means the finished statue reads less like an isolated character portrait and more like a captured scene, similar to the approach the studio has taken with other Final Fantasy VII Rebirth-era releases. That extra sculptural work is part of why premium Masterline-tier statues command their price point relative to simpler standing-pose figures.

Aerith's Final Fantasy VII Rebirth attire, not her original 1997 design.
Yes, it was revealed alongside other Final Fantasy VII Rebirth character statues, including Tifa.
Publisher-backed statue partnerships generally mean tighter design oversight and closer adherence to official art direction than a broadly licensed release.
Collectors building a full Rebirth-era display should weigh both together, since Square Enix and Prime 1 Studio revealed them as a matched pair rather than standalone pieces.
Bases with sculpted environmental elements typically require additional design and production work beyond a plain pedestal, which factors into the overall cost of Masterline-tier releases like this one.
This Aerith statue gives Final Fantasy VII Rebirth collectors a premium quarter-scale centerpiece, even with a release window well into 2027. Watching for the pre-order opening is the clearest next step.
Having a case and risers ready means the statue will be properly displayed whenever it arrives, and confirming display space now avoids a last-minute scramble once the December 2027 window finally arrives.
