Square Enix's Mini Melody TVs bring a nostalgic charm to the world of retro gaming with their pixel art-inspired Final Fantasy figurines. These delightful collectibles pay homage to the early days of the Final Fantasy series, featuring the first six games from the NES/Famicom and Super NES/Super Famicom eras. Each figurine showcases a scene from one of the games along with a memorable piece of background music from its soundtrack.
From the iconic title screen of the original Final Fantasy to the thrilling "Eternaal Wind" theme from Final Fantasy II, these miniaturized versions of the games capture the essence of yesteryear's gaming aesthetics. Continuing the journey, the figurines also feature moments from Final Fantasy III, IV, V, and VI, such as "The Red Wings," "Battle at the Big Bridge," and "Searching for Friends."
The Mini Melody TVs are compact and compact enough to sit comfortably on a desk, making them perfect for desk space-conscious fans. Each figurine runs on a AAA battery to power its LCD display, which cleverly mimics the design of a CRT television screen. The figurines are offered as blind-box items, which means that collectors won't know which version they'll receive until they open the package. This adds an element of surprise and excitement to the collection process.
Priced at 1,980 yen (US$12.50) for individual figurines and a complete set for 11,880 yen, these Mini Melody TVs are now available for purchase starting January 29. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of gaming history and let these nostalgic figurines transport you back to the golden age of Final Fantasy.
