From Final Fantasy Wiki
The Final Fantasy Play Arts Action Figures are a series of poseable figurines standing at an average of 7 to 9 inches depending on the character. Each figurine is designed around a Final Fantasy character, their likeness intending to match the character's likeness in the game. Some characters come with props such as weapons or vehicles as well as additional hands, feet, heads in order to better costumize the figurine into a pose of the buyer's choosing.
Each figurine comes with an average of 20 articulation points.
The Final Fantasy XIII action figure line was released under the new Final Fantasy Play Arts Kai label, possessing improved articulation, more accessories, slightly larger sizes, and higher prices than regular Final Fantasy Play Arts Action Figures.
