Few other games have had such a monumental impact on the gaming zeitgeist asFinal Fantasy 7. The epic adventure, sprawling world, compelling characters, and oftentimes, utterly amazing merch all come together to make an amazing experience, especially for those who love to show off their Final Fantasy 7 love through figures.
One of the earliest members to join the party is Cloud’s long time childhood friend Tifa Lockhart. The brawler has had quite a few figures of her released over the years, and with the release of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, there’s never been a better time than now to pick up a figure or two of her.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Tifa Lockheart Play Arts Kai Action Figure
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Tifa Lockhart (Dress Ver.) Play Arts Kai Action Figure
If you like being able to set the scene in the ways you like, you’re going to want to pick up a Play Arts Kai version of Tifa, especially one that depicts her from the Corneo Mansion mission of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
While most people will recognize Tifa from her usual fighting outfit, the white top, suspenders, black skirt, and gloves to beat up anyone who gets in her way, the Remake gives you a chance to see what Tifa would look like when she’s dressed up a bit.
This Dress Version of Tifa comes from the Play Arts Kai line, and shows her off in the ‘mature’ dress option from the Remake when the party (including Cloud) has to infiltrate Don Corneo’s headquarters. The figure version of Tifa has a ton of points of articulation, letting you pose and position her however you like.
If you like all the customization options that some figures come with, you’ll get seven additional hands to help set up those poses, an alternate face plate that shows a different expression for Tifa, and a hair extension to change how her movement feels when you pose her in various ways. You also get a black stand to keep her standing up straight or at whatever angle or height you want to show this figure out in.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Static Arts - Tifa Lockhart Sporty Dress Ver
A more causal figure for Tifa, this Static Arts statue features her in her sporty outfit from the Corneo Masnion mission. This one isn’t posable, but has a lot more detail than other figures.
Another take on the dress scenario from Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the Static Arts version of Tifa Lockhart shows off the brawler in the ‘sporty’ dress option from the game. Tifa’s hair is pulled up into two buns, while on her right shoulder is a large, ornate flower pinned to her dress.
This figure shows Tifa resting for a bit on a large red chair during the events of the Corneo Mansion mission. As the name suggests, the Static Arts version of Tifa is posed in a fixed state, so there’s no moving it around like the Play Arts version. But given how cool this figure is it feels like a better choice than a posable one that has visible joints and requires a little extra work to make look nice.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Static Arts Kai - Tifa Lockhart Exotic Dress Ver
Tifa joins the figure collection with the third dress option from Final Fantasy 7 Remake, this time in the exotic dress. She’s sitting on a stool while wearing her lovely obi and a flower in hear hair.
The third dress option for Tifa Lockhart from the Corneo Mansion mission is the ‘exotic’ outfit, giving her a complete makeover. This figure is also a Static Arts Kai figure, so it’s a more detailed version than a regular Static Arts figure, but still remains a nonposable statue.
This figure has Tifa sitting on a taller red stool, with her legs stretched out and her hand crossed in her lap in a more casual but elegant pose. Tifa comes on a black stand so you can sit her on anything you want, from a bookshelf to a display case, to even your desk if you wanted to.
Bring the brawler to your collection with the rerelease of the Play Arts Kai figure for Tifa from the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. There’s a ton of cool things you can do with this figure since it’s so posable, letting you reenact practically any scene from the game.
Tifa’s classic outfit from the original Final Fantasy 7 game received a bit of an upgrade with the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and you can now take that figure home for yourself with this Play Arts Kai figure.
This figure is actually a rerelease since the original went out of print, but has been redesigned and updated to include more features like Tifa’s hair and earrings, as well as updated joints at her knees and elbows. This Play Arts Kai figure comes with a few extra accessories as well, including six alternate hand pieces, two different hair styles to make more dynamic poses and action sequences, and a black stand to better position her in the poses you want.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Final Fantasy 7 Should I Buy?

If you want the best graphics and updated story, you’re going to want to go with the Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the recently released Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth games. If you’re looking for a more classic approach, you can always pick up a remastered version of the original game, which is available on more current consoles and PC.
Is Final Fantasy 7 Worth Buying Now?
It absolutely is. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for the original story or if you want the modern reimagining of the series, there’s never been a better time than now to jump into the story.
Why Is Tifa So popular?
Tifa bucks a lot of the more stereotypical roles that many women characters played at the time. She’s not a healer and instead is a trained martial artist who stands on the front lines of battle. Not to mention, Tifa plays a vital role in many of the events of the game before the time of the main game, as well as in other films and games.
