Fire Emblem Heroes Celebrates its 1000th Hero!

With the addition of the latest summoning event, New Heroes, Ascended Ced & Rearmed Plumeria, Fire Emblem Heroes now has 1000 Heroes in the game.

The honour of being the 1000th Hero goes to Patty, Brigid’s daughter from Genealogy of the Holy War.

Players can obtain free copies of Patty by completing special celebratory quests. Afterwards, she’ll start appearing in new summoning events.

Other quest rewards include 10 Arena Reward 3 summon tickets, plus a snazzy accessory. On top of that, there’s a log-in bonus where you can pick up 100 of each Dragonflower, 100 Trait Fruit and more.

Nintendo also shared a cute YouTube video to mark the occasion.

Besides that, they’ve opened a celebration site where you can watch this video and play around with an icon maker. There’s a “Coming Soon” section too, which will open on 21st September.

Finally, if you’re a North American or Canadian resident, you can try your luck at the 1000 Heroes celebration sweepstakes. Up for grabs are 20 acrylic stands featuring some of the Heroes, such as Legendary Marth, Valentine’s Chrom & Robin, Legendary Veronica and Halloween Sothis.

Fire Emblem Fates: Corrin Nohr Noble 1/7 Scale Figure Announced!

At WonHobby Gallery 2023 Spring, a new scale figure for Corrin in her Nohr Noble attire was revealed.

The figure is expected to release on June 2024, so just over a year away.

Intelligent Systems has added a product page on their website, featuring a 360 degree showcase, plus artwork and a comment from Yusuke Kozaki, who designed the characters.

Here’s our translation of his comment:

No way, Corrin is getting a scale figure and it’s the popular Nohr Noble outfit too!

It has a really cool finish and looks great from every angle. It seems CG is used for prototyping these days–the realistic shape of the cape and the silhouette of the flowing hair is a clear sign–and the quality has improved a lot in recent years.

It’s already been 8 years since the release of Fire Emblem Fates, but I’m delighted that we still have the chance to sculpt it with the latest technology!

Good Smile Company (the distributor) also has their own product page. Below are photos from the page.
