Unfortunately, this beautiful Ultima from Final Fantasy is a garage kit and not something you can buy. It was made by PKKING with an incredible attention to detail. He’s missed nothing. Her face, every feather, every fold in her dress are all beautifully rendered. It’s a true work of art that any Final Fantasy fan would love to own.

Of all the creatures in Final Fantasy, Chocobos are the most adorable. I adore the little fluffy companions and that they are a constant in the game. A Chocobo fan commissioned artist Jenna Antonelli to sculpt one of the feathered animals, and the end result is extremely huggable (well, it would be if it wasn’t made from clay).
Look at more of Chocobo after the break.
Right, because who hasn’t imagined the world of Final Fantasy as a musical involving puppets? Comedian Brent Black (Brentalfloss) spent about two years putting together this little musical video tribute to the mages from Final Fantasy. You’ve got the Red, White and Black mages all singing their little hearts out and the only thing funnier than watching them flail around is listening to the words they’re singing.

Artist David Goh took some iconic game symbols and gave them a little facelift that makes them just incredible. It makes me want to go back and play some of these games a second time.

If you like playing Monopoly and Final Fantasy I have so got the project for you: a cross-stitched version of the board game! Sprite Stitch user jadely made the game as part of a stitching swap. The board and tokens were stitched by hand and the cards (deed cards, etc) were printed. The entire package looks amazing, and if you’d like to invest the time to make your own, jadely shared the pattern.
See close-up photos of some of the cards and tokens after the break.

Final Fantasy cosplayers, this is your weapon. Behold, Squall’s Final Fantasy VIII Gunblade. This looks so strikingly real that it’s hard to believe it’s made of MDF and balsa wood with a chamber that used to be a small Pringles can (think about that the next time you have a snack).
All this is the work of a guy taking a college course in prop-making and was put online by his friend. Apparently he’s also done some commissioned pieces so get in line if you’re looking to have the perfect weapon for con season this summer.

Prison officials at the Category C Usk prison in Monmouthshire, Wales, confiscated this collection of Final Fantasy weapons created by a bored by talented prisoner using nothing but matchsticks and glue. The collection was fashioned with such precision that blades were “razor sharp” and the barrel on the Gunblade actually revolved:
“Their realism presented a genuine threat to the safety of staff, visitors and other prisoners.”
A security bulletin was sent to jails throughout the UK after the discovery was made, but apparently this has happened before, as two matchstick knives were recently found at Littlehey prison in Cambridgeshire.

Hopefully version 2.0 will be able to shoot bricks.

The following video features super impressive FF7 stop motion by John Huang. It took around 10,000 picture shots over 2 months to create the entire 8-minute video. There’s plenty of action and special effects to keep you entertained—even if you can’t understand what the hell is being said.
Check out the video after the break.
