Best Plush Collectibles For Fans Of Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Knitted Plush - Cait Sith
I know I have a stuffed animal body, but I’ll work really hard!
The Gold Saucer’s feline fortuneteller comes to life with this knitted plush, featuring his adorable cape and crown. The soft yarn design makes this plush the perfect pal on your quest to save the planet. Guaranteed not to be a Shinra spy!
While you can’t remotely control this replica of Final Fantasy 7’s most adorable party member, you can definitely take him on all sorts of adventures. Featuring a yarn knit construction for extra softness, this amigurimi-inspired doll stands a petite eight inches tall, meaning it will fit perfectly on any display shelf.
This plushie is part of a two-part set, featuring the Fat Moogle below. Combine the two to complete Cait Sith experience. The sitting pose is evocative of the chibi plushes later in this list, but this plush stands a towering eight inches compared to the shorter human plushes. Maybe Cait Sith wants to feel tall? Keep that in mind when planning how to display these plushes.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Plush - Fat Moogle
…Wait, that thing is supposed to be a moogle?
Cait Sith’s animatronic mount is now available in cuddly plush form. Standing 11 inches tall, and featuring details like a rear zipper and tiny tusks, this portly pal is the perfect companion to your Cait Sith, or an excellent stand-alone collectible.
Cait Sith wouldn’t be complete without his towering (yet mysteriously noseless) Moogle companion. Seriously, this thing onlysort ofresembles a Moogle, but it’s still undeniably cute. Covered in soft fur and featuring a cuddly plush belly, this is the most huggable doll on this list. The fur seems irresistibly soft, and the beady eyes and blush stickers only add to the charm.
The Fat Moogle is designed to pair with the Cait Sith plush above. However, itwilltake some creative posing to keep Cait Sith on his moogle pal’s back, as there are no magnets or similar connections between the two.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Plush - Cloud Strife
PLUSHIE First Class
Featuring Cloud in his iconic Soldier uniform, this plush protagonist is ready to face down whatever Sephiroth has to throw at him. Features two-tone embroidered eyes and impossibly spiky hair.
Cloud istheFinal Fantasy protagonist, and no Final Fantasy collection would be complete without him. Still, Cloud has undergone something of a makeover since the events of Final Fantasy 7, to the point where it’s more common to find merchandise of him in hisAdvent Childrenattire. That’s what he wears inKingdom Hearts2, and is also an unlockable outfit inFinal Fantasy 14,and an alternate costume inSuper Smash Bros. The Advent Children drip iseverywhere.
That’s what makes this plushie, released to celebrate the 2020 remake, so refreshing. This plush is a chibified version of Cloud from the remake, showing off a reimagined version of his classic look. Though not perfectly accurate to the 1997 original, this little guy will look perfect in any gamer’s collection.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Plush - Reno
We may be plushies, but we’re still victorious.
The flashiest member of the Turks is now available in fun-sized plush form, complete with goggles and a sttylish suit. Pair him with an Axel plushie from Kingdom Hearts and explain to friends how they’re actually two different characters!
The Turks are some of the funniest characters in Final Fantasy 7, at least when they’re not being terrifyingly ruthless. Of all of them, Reno is absolutely the most iconic, so much so that Tetsyua Nomura basically copied his design for Axel in the Kingdom Hearts series. It’s hard to blame him: Reno isoverflowingwith style and attitude, and is one of the game’s more memorable characters.
This plush captures that personality in chibi form, with Reno’s take on the Turk’s uniform lovingly recreated in miniature. Still, that attention to detail makes this plush a bit more delicate than most, so be sure to practice proper care.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Plush - Aerith Gainsborough
A plushie for the planet
Final Fantasy 7’s deuteragonist is immortalized in 5 inch plushie form. This plush features expressive two-toned eyes and Aerith’s iconic outfit.
Aerith’s playful personality and infamous ultimate fate make her a legend in gaming lore, and this plushie perfectly captures her unique sense of style. The pink dress, red jacket, and long plush ponytail are all carefully rendered in miniature. The plush even has Aerith’s flower necklace!
Still, keep this one away from any Sephiroth plushes in your collection. For safety reasons.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Plush - Tifa Lockhart
Straight from 7th Heaven
The iconic Final Fantasy martial artist may be a 5 inch plushie, but that doesn’t mean she can’t kick serious ass. Featuring her classic outfit from the game, this plush doesnothold back with the cuteness.
Bartender, resistance fighter, calisthetics trainer: is there anything Tifacan’tdo? Featuring the iconic martial artist in her Remake outfit, this Tifa plush is sure to punch up any plushie collection with her signature Nibelheim charm. She’s designed to match the other human plushes on this list, letting you form your own Final Fantasy party.
There are other plushes in this series too, including Barret, Sephiroth, and Yuffie. However, the last entry on this list is a bit of a surprise pick.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Plush - Rufus Shinra
Now YOU can own HIM!
The young heir to the Shinra Electric Power Company serves as one of Final Fantasy 7 Remakes main villains, pulling on AVALANCHE’s strings behind the scenes. Now fans can briing him home in marketable plushie form!
Rufus Shinra doesn’t get the same air time as Sephiroth, but the heir to Shinra Electric is quite the stylish villain. Compared to the sea of Sephiroth merchandise that’s been almost continuously available since 1997, this plush is definitely a novelty.
Alongside immaculate hair and Rufus’s stylish white overcoat (which probably costs more than the entirety of Sector 7), this plush has innocent blue eyes, which make it easy to forget that it represents one of the most notorious schemers in the world of Final Fantasy 7.
