Back in 2002, many Nintendo fans were introduced to the Soulcalibur franchise when the second installment of the acclaimed fighting series arrived on the GameCube. It certainly got everyone’s attention with The Legend of Zelda’s Link featured as a guest fighter, but many stuck around for its addictive gameplay and memorable roster. Ivy Valentine, with her living snake sword, striking purple-and-gold outfits, and her spiteful dialogue, easily remains one of the series’ most iconic characters.
It’s no surprise, then, that First 4 Figures selected her as the third project in their Soulcalibur II series of statues, following Nightmare and Taki.
As usual, Ivy comes in Standard, Exclusive, and Definitive Editions. The Exclusive Edition gives Ivy an additional extended blade, while the Definitive Edition adds this as well as a special base themed on Ivy’s home stage in Soulcalibur II, the Egyptian Crypt (including “elements such as the Eye of Ra, the stone flooring with blue dividers, and the intricate detailing seen above the door arches in the background”).
