Many fans likely commiserate the fact that a lot of video game figures sell out fast, especially when it comes to popular titles such as thePersonaseries. However, toy brand makers such asGood Smile Company are known to re-release figureswhen the demand is high, or to commemorate a special occasion. That is exactly what is currently happening, with GSC announcing that the figmas of the protagonists ofPersona 3,4, and5will be making a comeback. This means fans who recently discovered these RPG games will finally have a chance to purchase their highly-coveted action figures.
Good Smile Company’s announcement could not come at a better time. ThePersonaseries is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, and many fans have been looking forward to what Atlus has in store for the occasion. However, many within the community felt that thePersonaanniversary announcements were lackluster, and most likely hoped that ports or a newPersonatitle would be shared by the company. Still, re-releasing figma figures that have long been sold out seems like a nice albeit small consolation for the lack of major updates.

The re-release announcement of thePersona 3,4, and5figmas were shared on the official Good Smile Company Twitter account. In the post, pre-orders have already been opened for the three of themain protagonists of thePersonagames. These arePersona 3’s Makoto Yuki,Persona 4’s Yu Narukami, andPersona 5’s protagonist, commonly known as Phantom Thief leader Joker. Each of these figures come dressed in their iconic high school uniforms. The figmas also include small accessories that most fans would likely recognize as character staples such as theP3Evoker summoning gun, theP4protagonist glasses, and a small Morgana figure for theP5Hero.
ThePersonaseries figmas are priced at 7,000 yen or roughly $70.99 USD. Pre-orders of the figmas will remain open until June 11, 2025, with staggered release dates depending on region. This means that Japanese customers will deliver their figmas first in July 2022, while North American buyers will get their figures in November 2022.
With Atus being very secretive about any of its plans for anewPersona 6title, fans are only left with minor announcements such as these. Hopefully the company will provide morePersonainformation to its community, given that only a few months are left until the end of 2021, and thus ending the 25th anniversary year of the series.
