Does that iconic Final Fantasy 7 scene in Wall Market plague your dreams? Do you wish that you could spend every day looking at the ridiculously attractive Cloud Strife all dressed up in a nice gown for plot reasons? Yeah, Square Enix knows.
Their newest statue is the lovely Cloud in the dress that he wears in the Final Fantasy VII Remake — which, admittedly, is not on Switch, but you don't have to be console agnostic to appreciate a well-dressed lad, right? And although the non-remake original is on the Switch, the dress isn't nearly as pretty.
The figure stands at just under 11 inches tall, and comes with a bunch of hands for Cloud to display all sorts of fist-based emotions, as well as a different head with a sliiiiiightly different pained expression. Bless him, he's not got a lot of looks. The arms and head are poseable, allowing you to recreate his coy, hands-clasped pose from the game.
You can also buy a figurine of the original, low-poly Cloud (although it comes with an NFT digital certificate of authenticity), plus the matching protagonists-in-dresses figurines of Aerith and Tifa. Aerith comes out in August 2022, Tifa comes out in October 2022, and Pretty Cloud comes out in July 2023, so it'll be a while until they're all together.
Would you spend $200 to have Cloud in a dress on your nerd shelf? Tell us in the comments... Or don't, if you're as shy as Cloud!

Cloud when have to disguise as female to rescue Tifa from Don Corneo. (the thing I remembered from FF VII PS1).
Also, F* NFT stuffs!
If it’s pretty, etc etc
meh, I have a sour taste in my mouth from non-game Square Enix stuff lately. Even the stuff here has mother effing NFTs involved.
Does this count as panto?
Also, at least this one isn't a bloody NFT grumble grumble
He looks really good as a girl.
I really really want this, for maybe $25.
I know, I nailed it, moving on.

this thing gotta have like 2 points of articulation
I have the Player 1 amiibo (thankfully I got it when it first came out in 2017 for its actual MSRP) and I think that's enough Cloud Strife figures in my collection. Besides, if I want something else, aside from the upcoming Sephiroth amiibo, a neighbor of mine was selling some FFVII figures a few days ago.
@SteamEngenius
I mean, it is a pretty niche product. And 0.6 percent of a really big number would still technically be a pretty big number. And there probably aren't many of these being made in the first place, but I'm just going to assume that you already knew all of that and just felt like making a dry comment, which is fine. You do you.
This is a really pretty statue! The poseable features are a nice touch.
Cloud looks great, and the way this scene was re-done in the Remake was wonderful and respectful.
The price is about $100 more than I'd pay for it, but I'm still glad it exists.
Even in the remake, I don't buy Cloud in a dress as female for a second. Maybe I'm just too familiar with him.
An yes the worst moment in FF history, the one that proves milk isn’t the worst substance to leave out over time.
It does appear to be well made, but at $200 you could probably buy the dress itself and BE the beautiful Cloud you’ve always dreamed off.

Honestly, I'd rather buy that other Cloud bring arts based off of his original FF7 artwork. Doesn't help that Square Enix LOVES to overprice their figures for some stupid reason. For anyone who wants this, I'd wait for a sale
Ha ha ha I get the joke it’s funny because a man in dress oh ho ho yes so funny.
Well if he wants to wear a corset, more power to him. Most women would happily give those rib crushers over to men. Dudes used to wear them as well anyway. By all means have at it.
There is way too much shock and outrage placed on what men wear (and thus truly defining gender role based clothing) when at some point in history men have worn some variant of clothing deemed feminine. Fashion and machisimo is not set in stone. Yet people base their whole sense of self on it. Which is nuts.
Wasnt this site just complaining about an nft statue but because this one is of a guy in a dress it's better ?
If cloud didn’t look good enough already!
Love this. Crossdressed Cloud is the best way to immortalize and commemorate that time when a whole generation of American players were introduced to uncensored Final Fantasy and a whole bunch of seedy Japanese culture in Wall Market.
You have no idea how badly I need this in my life
Well, they've already milked FFVII dry I guess.
Nah, who am I kidding? My great grandchildren will probably be eye-rolling at SquEnix's shenanigans long after I'm gone.
@Anti-Matter I am Don Corneo, I need tp for my bunghole 🙌
@Would_you_kindly It's especially obvious when you realize there are 3 statues and Kate only showed pictures of the cross-dressing one. O_o
That scene was funny enough in the original, and absolutely hilarious in the remake. Would not pay $200 smackers for it.
