    More character merchandise

    So I just got my Estinien figurine after pre ordering it in June. Took a long time, but I'm glad that I finally received him. My question now is why are there not more figurines like Estinien? Yes there are the Odin and Shiva etc. statues and the small chibi set from HW but nothing that I would consider a true figurine. As much as I love Estinien, I find it odd he is the first posable figurine we received out of the whole cast.

    I'd love to see more scions. Hell I'd love to see more merchandise of Alphinaud seeing how we spend the majority of our time with him. That's another thing that semi bothers me. Why doesn't he get much love from square in the marketing department? The other scions have their outfits on the mog station both arr and hw. Many scions like Y'shtola have shown up in cgi trailers over the years (I know her existing in 1.0 gives her this edge) yet my boy has never shown up in a cgi trailer in hw and sb and possibly shadowbringer as well. I'm going on a tangent here, but I'd love to own more than a low quality chibi statue. (Maybe a marble one like the Greeks and Romans, I'm willing to put money down here, square).

    This is how I feel about one particular character. I am certain this fanbase feels the same about their favorite main characters as well and that they would put down good money to buy their merchandise. Heck, I think how long it is taking people to receive Estinien is a good indication that we are thirsty for this type of marketing. I don't know guys, do you feel the same way? Are there characters in this game you would jump at to purchase a well made figurine of?

    You couldn't take my money fast enough for a Kan-E-Senna figurine.

    It would be awesome if there were more, but if they're hand crafted then only so many could be made and it would be very difficult to meet demand.

    I'd grab a Y'shtola figure. Surprised one doesn't exist considering she's basically the face of the game and is in Dissidia.

    That is something that both confuses and bothers me as well. We have a dragoon figure, we have a Xenos figure, yet we have no Y'shtola figure even though she is used in most crossover games as the XIV representative character. I would pay quite a lot for her to be sure.

    Nah mean like the Estinien figurine, which I don't think is hand carved tho it is highly detailed. But hell I'd take more statues like Shiva too.

    Give me a master figure like Shiva but in Estiniens transformation form from the middle of Nidhogg HM and I'd toss 200$ before square can even bat an eye.

    And I agree on Alphinaud, how come we have no merch of him? I'd love to have an Estinien sized figure of him, and his sister, considering we spend the majority of the game with him. (tbh all things considered I don't get why he isn't the game's mascot, but I suppose catgirls do better for PR than cute elf boy)

    I like Alphinaud a lot. He's my little buddy. Wouldn't mind a little Play Arts figure of him- even better if we can get one of Alisaie as well, so I can pose them together.
