The Good Smile company reveals a brand-new statue that is based on one of the original characters from Fire Emblem Heroes, the Princess of the Emblian Empire Veronica. Good Smile is most famous for producing a variety of collectible figures and statues based on pop culture, with its Nendoroid line being one of the most popular items for fans to purchase. Fire Emblem itself has gotten a set of statues and Nendoroids from Good Smile as well, with this latest statue being based on a key character of Intelligent Systems' mobile game.Veronica is the princess of the Emblian Empire, where despite her playing an antagonistic role in the first year of the game's life, she slowly becomes allies with Askr, the kingdom that the player fights for. The current storyline for Fire Emblem Heroes as of this writing involves her slowly sliding into a reluctant anti-hero role, complete with a new look and unit for the character first revealed in FEH's Book 6 midpoint trailer. This makes her similar to other rare Ascended units that the player can summon, which is what this statue is based on.This statue of Veronica was revealed during the WonHobby Gallery 2022 Autumn exhibition, an event in Japan that shows off the latest announcements and photos of upcoming and brand-new figures. This statue is stated to be a Scale Figure line, which is intended to be an exact replica of the character linked to a certain scale. This is reflected in the detailed look of the statue, where Veronica's posing, tome, and costume are all lovingly recreated from Fire Emblem Heroes.
Fans who saw the figure noted how beautiful it looked, some noting this is also the first statue that is explicitly based on one of the characters from Fire Emblem Heroes instead of one of the more iconic characters. That said, Veronica is considered one of the faces of FEH, with her being the game's first antagonist and her current arc in the game being praised by fans after the game's antagonists kept changing each Book.
This statue isn't currently available for pre-order as of this writing, but it's likely going to be available for fans to purchase in the future. Considering the detailing and scale of the figure it's likely to cost quite a bit, much like other scale figures from Good Smile. The WonHobby Gallery 2022 Autumn showcase also revealed a number of other figures from Good Smile, such as Nendoroids based on Cuphead and Mugman, among other statues.
Fire Emblem Heroes is available now on Android and iOS devices.
