Merchandise: Emperor Edelgard 1/7 Scale Figure from Three Houses!

Note: This is a backdated article.

Intelligent Systems has delivered a Christmas present for Edelgard/Three Houses fans–the announcement of a new 1/7 scale figure of Edelgard in her Emperor attire.

Pre-orders are available until 26th February 2025, from places like Good Smile Company (US). The expected release date is January 2026.

Edelgard’s figure is the latest in a long-running line-up that features protagonists and important characters from across the series. Prior to Edelgard, King Dimitri was the latest figure to be announced. Presumably Claude will swoop in eventually.

An official website (Japanese) has been created, which shares some general info, plus a celebratory illustration from Chinatsu Kurahana, the illustrator for Three Houses.
