Up to now McFarlane Toys has made collectibles based around comic books (like the ones McFarlane owns himself) but they’re expanding. They’ve just announced a deal with Atlus to make figures out of characters from the Persona series — Persona 3 specifically.
Once a niche series, Persona ballooned in popularity with each installment, Persona 5 being the current peak. The franchise has been kind of dormant since then, staying relevant on spinoffs and reprints while the team behind the series creates Metaphor ReFantazio. The last Persona release was Persona 3 Reload, the remastered version of the PS2 classic (minus the FES chapter). It came out last February on modern platforms.
Whether you bought the game to relive 2000s memories or you played it for the first time, you’ll be able to stick the characters on your shelf in the near future. We wish we had photos to show, but the deal was only just announced this week. “Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the upcoming 7” scale action figures are designed to captivate fans and collectors alike,” says McFarlane Toys. “Boasting ultra-articulation, these figures capture the essence of the Persona 3 Reload video game characters, allowing fans to immerse themselves in dynamic play experiences.”
Right now McFarlane’s agreement just covers Persona 3, but if the figures sell well, perhaps we’ll see figures produced for Personas 4 and 5. Maybe there’ll even be a Persona 6 from Atlus….sometime in the next fifty years.
