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

May 26, 2023 FE Fates, Merchandise, News No comments

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.

Merchandise: Better Look at the 1/7 Veronica Figure & Message from Yusuke Kozaki

November 29, 2022 Merchandise, News No comments

A few days ago, a 1/7 scale figure of Veronica was showcased at WonHobby Gallery 2022 AUTUMN.

Today, Intelligent Systems, as the publisher, shared an article on their website that provides a detailed look at the figure, which will release during February 2024.

Of note, there’s a 360 degree video of the figure and a message plus congratulatory artwork from Yusuke Kozaki, who designed Veronica’s original and Legendary designs.

After nearly 6 years since Fire Emblem Heroes launched, one of its original characters finally gets her own figure!

We’re also happy that it’s Veronica, who’s been with us since the very beginning.
Recently, she changed into a new outfit and she’s grown up a little appearance-wise, but even though there weren’t any plans to make a figure of her at the time, I created her outfit design so it’d look good in 3D, so I’m delighted that she’s getting a figure now.
This is a work that encapsulates the game’s world view; we hope you’ll add it to your collection and show it off…!

Additionally, pre-orders for the figure are now open.

If you want, you can pre-order directly from the distributor, Good Smile Company. Below are photos from their webpage.

Mr. Kozaki also left a message for FE Heroes fans:

March 16, 2019 Merchandise, News 3 comments

Earlier today, Fire Emblem Cipher held its Series 16 pre-release livestream. In addition to many Cipher-related news and reveals, the team shared some more general Fire Emblem info as well.

As promised, the cover artwork for the Fates artbook “Pellucid Crystal” was unveiled during the livestream. Yusuke Kozaki has really outdone himself with a highly detailed panorama featuring Nohrians and Hoshidans fighting together.

The artbook can be pre-ordered via Amazon Japan. The editing team has also opened up a webpage showcasing various sample pages from the artbook (which you can also find below). As a reminder, the book contains 320 pages and releases on 25th April 2019.

Next, the hosts showed off a trio of Cipher promotional cards depicting the House Leaders from Three Houses. These will be given out during this year’s “Cipher Festival” event. The artists are Kotaro Yamada, Senri Kita and Rika Suzuki.

Besides the spiffy art and brown/olive border colour, no further details were provided. That said, we do know Three Houses will feature in Cipher‘s Series 18, although it’s likely these cards will precede that series.
