Item Description
For
auction with Final Fortunes we have a ULTRA rare Final Fantasy VII
Cloud 1/8 Cold Cast Model 2nd Edition Cloud Strife & Hardy
Daytona from 2004. This statue is the second edition OG featuring
Cloud is sitting on Hardy Daytona holding his buster sword! The
always make us think of the cut scene when escaping Shinra
headquarters. What a great moment!
Also note, you may see some other Cloud and Hardy Daytona Statues available that are 1st edition models created by Kotobukiya, which look similar but are actually different. This one we are selling on this listing is the second edition limited edition made in 2004, it is not the oldest one made back in 1997, however this one is still very rare. We do have the original 1997 statue for sale as well at the time of posting this, please check out our other listings for further details. Thank you.
Since Final Fantasy VII was such a success, and actually in the top PlayStation “Greatest hits”! Square actually made this set in production referred to as "Series No. 2" by Kotobukiya made in 2004. Following that there have been numerous productions with Plays Art in larger quantities. However again this statue we have for sale is very old and rare and the second edition version.
Regarding the statues condition. The statue itself is in excellent condition to near mint. We cannot visibly see any signs of wear on the statue itself, The base has 1-2 very minor scuffs on the back which you can't even see one of them. The outer box does have some wear and a tear on the back side where it opens, please see attached photos for reference. We also always state as well that our photos are the final judgment of the items overall condition, so please review them carefully before bidding/purchasing and please contact prior to bidding if you require any additional photos. Thank you for checking out our listing.

Community - When shopping with us, you are supporting that very same community where these collectibles originate from, which in turn allows us to bring more unique items to you!
Charity - Being that a lot of our items are from Japan, we wanted to do something special to give back.

Make Offer Option & Watched Items
Please
note that the listed price is what the item is selling for. We do
however occasionally provide discounts through two different areas.
One, we occasionally provide discounts through the watched items
category. Two, we sometimes issue discount cards as a special thanks
to previous customers, who are then able to apply a discount on any
item of their choosing.
If you have received a discount card, you may contact us and let us know which item you wish you purchase. We will then unlock the option to “make an offer” for you. Once we do this you then may apply the % discount you received off and submit an offer in the “Make Offer” section beside the listed price. Once we have verified the promotional discount associated with your Ebay account, we will then process the order. This typically takes 24-48 hours.
We kindly ask that if you have not received a discount code or offer, please do not submit one as it will not be processed. We are working very hard to keep our prices competitive while supporting charities in Japan and the FF community. We appreciate your understanding.
If for any reason you have a discount code and there are any issues with the code being processed, please reach out and we will happily get it sorted as soon as possible. Thank you.
F.A.Q.s (Frequently Asked Questions)
How long are your discount cards good for?
Great question! Unlike most companies who only offer a few weeks or a month, our discount cards valid for one year from the purchase date of the item you bought from us! This way you get a real opportunity to use your discount card without having to rush. It's so important us that our customers have a pleasant shopping experience with us and we are trying really hard to constantly bring to you more value.
I see a hold or delay in my package regarding customs clearance or a change in the delivery date, is this normal?
Yes, this is completely normal. Often customs will do a regular safety check of parcels either in the county of export or import. Meaning our country or yours sometimes like to do additional random safety spot checks to make sure the items being shipped are actually what they say they are. Sometimes it's only one country that likes to check, sometimes both countries like to check. These procedures are completely normal for shipping specialty high valued items and no need to cause alarm. There are also unforeseen delays such as weather conditions and road blockages that may effect the delivery time as well. So an expected delivery time is not always 100% accurate.
Please rest assured, we monitor your package daily until it arrives to you, if we see any real delays, it will be investigated and fast tracked until it is resolved and delivered. We take so much care in ensuring your package reaches you in a timely manner. Please rest easy.
What sets you apart from other companies?
This is one of our favourite questions because we spent two years preparing to open for you all and no one can, or does offer what we do.
Say you wanted to buy a Ferrari. Would you go to a regular car shop to buy a Ferrari? or would you go to a Ferrari dealership where they guarantee you authenticity and specialize in that quality product? Its the same principal for us, unlike any seller here on eBay or anyone else in the world for that matter; We are the only ones who truly specialize in selling vintage Final Fantasy Collectibles, we custom make every single package unique for every single collector that purchases from us! There is no comparison to shopping with another company. We absolutely guarantee you what you receive from us is so much more value that what you will receive with anyone else. There is not a single person in this world who has more cumulative knowledge about vintage Final Fantasy collectibles than we do or cares as much as we do in providing you with the best experience possible. If you are a true FF fan like we are, then you are in for a real treat shopping with us!
How do we give back?
Given that we export from Japan, a huge part of what we do here is focus on giving back to them. We constantly support, The Nippon Foundation, as they are one of the oldest and most respected charities in Japan. They provide assistance in key areas such as disaster relief as well as children who are disabled. This way, we are constantly reinvesting in this incredible country that we love and who brought us our special series, making a real positive impact where it counts!.
We also reinvest in the FF artists in our community who have a passion for the same series we do. Meaning we actually commission Final Fantasy artists, musicians, and now professional Cosplay artists in our community. So when you purchase with Final Fortunes, know that not only are you getting the best possible price with guaranteed authenticity, but also know that you are truly helping give back to our community that we all love. By supporting our local business you are truly giving back in so many ways and we have so much more planned for everyone! Thank you for your continued support.

Photos
With any of our items for sale, additional photos may be supplied upon request prior to purchasing. All photos are taken carefully by us and are pictures of the exact item you will be receiving, no stock photos. It very important to us that our customers receive exactly what they pay for.
Policies
Unless an item is absolutely sealed in original packaging, we do not consider an item “Brand new sealed”. Rest assured, we will always accurately describe our items to you. We do not open original packaging on sealed antique/vintage/new condition items. All of our antiquities, art, and apparel are stored securely in our temperature-controlled facility in Canada.
Unless specified in the returns category or listing, all items we sell are sold “as is” with a no claim, no return policy. The reason for this is that so many pieces of our inventory are rare fragile statues or limited-edition artwork, some even one of a kind. It requires knowledge and training to pack these items professionally. Therefore, we cannot not risk the items being returned and improperly packaged, mishandled or incorrectly shipped.
We absolutely do the best we can to research, accurately describe, and photograph all details, imperfections or damage (if any). We always ask that our customer carefully inspect the photographs of the items they are interested in before purchasing as they are the final judgment of the items overall condition. We know true collectors value sellers who take the time to accurately describe products to you and that is something we take pride in. You'll notice on eBay most sellers take 1-2 photos usually not even their own, we painstakingly take so many original high resolution photos for you, and we often upload the maximum amount of allotted photos on eBay. Please do not hesitate to reach out for more photos or ask us any questions you may have prior to purchasing, we are more than happy to answer them.
Please rest assured that in the unlikely event that your collectible arrives damaged or not at all, we would absolutely have you covered! We have a signature included with every single shipment that leaves Final Fortunes so you never have to worry about your package be left unattended. We also fully insure every single package ourselves for additional safety measures.
We also reserve the right to remove any suspicious bids from new accounts or accounts that have been associated with improper purchasing.
