Oh my, oh my… Oh how I love Japanese female cosplayers. Japan’s cosplay community has an insane ability to produce mind blowing hand made costumes. Japan’s cosplayers really go all out when it comes to wigs, costumes, accessories, weapons, make up, etc. Their uncanny ability to design and produce costumes based on two dimensional anime and CGI video game characters and their relentless attention to details makes cosplayers in Japan the best in the world. I guess it wasn’t a big surprise to come upon these three lovely ladies donning cosplay costumes of Vanille, Hope, and Lighting from Square Enix’s newest release epic, Final Fantasy XIII. Considering I would love to give credit where its due, I just don’t have names for these three gorgeous cosplayers. Regardless, great job ladies. (/drool)

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIII is about to drop in a couple weeks and SQEX’s merchandise division, Square Enix Products is currently producing a ton of cool FFXIII collectibles such as action figures, die-cast key chains, business card holders, cups, and even an energy drink. The one item that caught my attention is the official Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Eau de Toile perfume. This is SQEXP’s first fragrance that they have ever produced that that honor goes to the pink haired heroine, Lightning of Final Fantasy XIII. This cool fragrance comes in a crystal shard-like bottle with Lightning frosted/etched onto the side. On top of that, you get a cool little charm of Lightning’s symbol. This perfume will be sold in a 50ml bottle and is described to smell like jasmine. Lightning Eau de Toile drops in the first quarter of 2010 and can be found in Square Enix’s online shop (not available yet) for a meer ¥6800 (about $77).

Lightning, Snow, and Vanille. OH MY! Final Fantasy XIII Play Arts Kai

Let face it. We all have been waiting for Square Enix to release Final Fantasy XIII for 35434384 years now and every time we get so close to the release date that we can actually smell the scent of Lightning’s shampoo, Square Enix pulls the rug from under us and slams us with more news of delays and what not. Well, considering Final Fantasy XIII is NOW scheduled for Spring of 2010, we get some better news with Square Enix’s release of Final Fantasy XIII Play Arts ~Kai~ action figures. Releasing late February, Square Enix Products (the merchandise division of Square Enix) is planning to release 3 action figures and 1 vehicle. The first wave of FFXIII action figures will Lightning, Snow Villiers, and Oerba Dia Vanille (These names make me crave ice cream for some reason).

Square Enix’s Play Arts -Kai- figures are an improved version of their popular Play Arts action figure series. With a larger scale, a greater attention to detail, more articulation points, and additional parts, these are their finest action figure yet. Based on Final Fantasy XIII, the highly-anticipated role-playing game coming to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 in Spring 2010, these figures of Lightning, Snow Villiers, and Oerba Dia Vanille feature detailed sculpts taken directly from Square Enix’s CGI designs. Window box packaging.

If you are a collector of Square Enix toys like I am, you already know that their action figures are one of the best THE BEST action figures on the market. SQEX’s attention to detail and craftsmenship is top notch and the quality of their products is unmatched in the market. Shit, not only do I have to wait for the game, now I have to wait for these figures. Thanks SQEX. BAH!
