This is not as much a figure of a character as a glorious, physical recreation of a videogame attack. As weird as it sounds, many of the uber powerful Final Fantasy attacks summon creatures from other realms, resulting in glorious, colorful and often weird visuals.

Part of the Master Creatures 2 collection by Kotobukiya, the Knights of the Round figure is the big daddy attack in Final Fantasy VII (released in 1997 for the PlayStation). From the site:

“Knights of the Round is the “ultimate summon” in Final Fantasy VIII, whereby you get to do some excessive damage with the help of 13 Knights who trounce your opponent with a cuisinart of weapon attacks while you munch on some popcorn. This Knights of the Round figure ... captures that glorious moment of summoning when said Knights have just arrived to do the deed. Youch! Be careful not to ‘zoom in’ too closely with this one as it’s got lots of pointy bits. A wonderfully detailed and fantastic clump of knights swirling out from the ethereal cloak, measuring 7.5 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall.”

Similar to most of the figures in this series, there are only a couple available and they cost $38 each.

Although they keep calling these “figures,” I really consider them statues since they are more to be displayed than played. Can you imagine one of these fighting a Luke Skywalker action figure?
