45cm/17in AC Cloud and Sephiroth statues revealed at San Diego Comic-Con Photos of Advent Children Cloud and Sephiroth statues from Kotobukiya have appeared online from the San Diego Comic-Con. Standing at a reported 45cm/17in, both statues are impressive on their own. Cloud's vest is reported to be made out of wool, while Sephiroth's outfit and Cloud's should pad is made out of a material that looks like, but is not leather (possibly pleather). Rumored to cost $400 each, and most likely limited, both figures will be for the fan that has cash to burn. Also photographed were PlayArts figures from past and future Final Fantasies.
