Square Enix finally shows Final Fantasy XIII's Serah Farron in color

Back at Toy Fair earlier this year, Square Enix revealed the unpainted, non-jointed prototype for Bible Black's Imari Kurumi Final Fantasy XIII's Serah Ferron. Since then, the company has been quiet about this release until now. With preorders opening, color images have now surfaced for what this lady who is not from Bible Black will look like.

The 205mm tall figure of the Play Arts Kai line suffers once again from bad hair just like the other releases. Sure, there are many lines there to show detail but it just looks like like a lump of plastic. This is action figure quality. Which is also evident in her exposed joints. Normally exposed joints don't bother me but Square Enix Product's take on the poseable figure looks down-right dreadful here. The uniform and transparent coat are well done and she has a cute face. And... those are the only positives I can point out.

Serah is retailing for 4,200 yen and is now available for preorder at Hobby Search with an expected release date in October. Also available is a re-release of Snow Villiers who is retailing for 4,000 yen and will see a September release.
