Square Enix Merchandise

Advent Children poster - Sold at some video game trade shows, this poster depicts Cloud and Sephiroth dissolving into the background, with the AC logo in between them. ¥1,700 (Japan), US$16.00 (North America)

Advent Children poster sets - The first set that was offered consisted of two B2 size posters, one of Tifa and the other of the Silver Haired Trio. The second set likewise consists of two B2 posters; one of Cloud and Sephiroth, and the other of Cloud and Kadaj. Both sets go for ¥1,000.

Advent Children T-Shirt - A black T-shirt with the Cloudy Wolf emblem on the front, and the words "Advent Children" on the back. ¥3,500 (Japan), US$33.00 (North America)

Cloudy Wolf product line (first series) - These items, which all bear the Cloudy Wolf emblem, came out not long after AC was first announced. They include a cell phone strap (which was also a promotional item in Japan from Panasonic) (¥1,500 [Japan], US$14.00 [North America]), a .925 silver earring (¥5,880 [Japan], US$53.00 [North America]), and a ring, also made of .925 silver (¥14,000 [Japan], US$133.00 [North America]).

Shinra Company product line - This line of AC merchandise debuted around the same time as the first Cloudy Wolf series. Three Shinra Company items have been released thus far: a metal business card case (¥2,600), an ID card holder with engraved metal plate (¥2,800 [Japan], US$26.00 [North America]), and a pin plated in .925 silver (¥3,000).

Advent Children Play Arts figures - "Play Arts" is Square Enix's line of high-quality action figures, which made its debut with Final Fantasy X-2's Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. For AC, four figures have been released. The Tifa, Vincent, and Sephiroth figures came out almost simultaneously in Japan and North America in August 2005 (Japanese figures: ¥3,800 each; N. American figures: US$19.99 each).
        The fourth Play Arts figure is of Cloud, and was originally only available with the Advent Pieces box set (see below), along with his motorcycle Fenrir. However, the Cloud and Fenrir set is now available in North America, with a different sword for Cloud than the one in the Japanese set, and a suggested retail price of US$64.99. Later, Cloud was released as a separate figure similar to the three listed above, right down to the suggested retail price (US$19.99). The "US" versions of Cloud's head, sword, and sword hand were available as a set from Square Enix's Character Goods Shop in Tokyo for ¥1000.
        Three more Play Arts figures—of Kadaj, Yuffie, and Reno—were released in Japan and North America in September 2007. They each retail for ¥3,800 or $24.99.

Cloudy Wolf product line (second series) - These items all made their debut around the actual time of AC's launch, in the fall of 2005. Unlike the first series, which focused on a largely siver motif, the items in this second series follow a black and silver scheme. Among the items offered are a pen case (¥2,900), a desktop calendar (¥3,500), and a business card case (¥2,100).

Advent Children Neck Strap - Not much is known about this item, which retails for ¥1,700.

Masterpiece Arts Cloud Strife and Sephiroth - These high-end collector's dolls are 1/4 scale and finely detailed. Available in the fall of 2007 in Japan, these dolls will retail for ¥47,000 apiece.

Liscensed Items

Advent Children Swing Keychains - by Bandai - There are five keychains in this series of capsule figures: Cloud, Tifa, Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz. Released in late September 2005. As these are capsule toys intended for vending machines, prices vary depending on the seller.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Reunion Files - by Soft Bank - A larger, more lavishly-illustrated book than the Prologue, Reunion Files can also be distinguished by its text; the entire book is written in both Japanese and English, making it ideal for importing.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children polystone statues - by Kotobukiya - These two gorgeous (and expensive!) statues, when placed next to one another, recreate a scene from the film's action-packed climax. Released in late 2006 in both Japan (¥24,800 each) and North America (US$200 each).
