Final Fantasy VII Aerith Gainsborough UFO Plush

Game and character(s): Final Fantasy VII, Aerith Gainsborough

Year: 1996

Region: Japan

Brand: Banpresto

Source: UFO catcher machines

Size: N/A

Notes: A rare and beautifully made UFO plush of Aerith Gainsborough! One thing I really adore about this plush is the details including the sweet little bead (white materia) in the character’s braid. Like many other older plushes, the condition can vary in the wild – the paint especially on the feet can flake off. Aerith’s small white felt buttons on her dress can also easily fall off due to the nature of the old glue that was used. I also have Chocobo in this 1996 set (see photo below showing the swing tag featuring Cloud, Barret and Red XIII that are in this set). In 1997 there were two other Final Fantasy VII UFO sets released; the first included other characters from the game (Tifa, Cid, Cait Sith, Yuffie, Vincent, Sephiroth and a new style Cloud) and the second set was based on the different colour breeds of chocobos. It can be extremely difficult to complete these sets due not only to age but only being available through UFO catcher machines
