selling more copies and winning more converts than its predecessor. The key selling
points of any Final Fantasy game are the incredible storylines, entertaining
side-adventures, and enchanting characters, leaving fans ready to play it again
and again! One of the best-selling installments of the series was Final
Fantasy VII, which broke sales records with 3.26 million units sold in Japan
in its release in 1997. Now fans can relive the game with the Final Fantasy
VII: Cloud Strife & Daytona Hardy 1/8 Statue and Final Fantasy

figures. These statues commanded high sales figures in the secondary market
and are back with a new lower price! The Cloud Strife & Daytona Hardy statue
stands 7" tall and 10" long, and magnificently depicts the heroic
Cloud astride his Hardy Daytona motorcycle. The Yuffie statue stands
