San Diego Comic Con begins in less than 24 hours, and the team at Square Enix is working hard to set up all their demo stations and merchandise displays for the event. With a single tweet to show off their displays, they've also revealed some new products for the very first time!
Of course, with the upcoming release of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix, it's only natural that this be of Sora and Roxas! As you can see, they are not yet available for purchase and are only prototypes, but hopefully more information will follow soon.

You can also see a variety of previously released figurines available for purchase, including Dream Drop Distance's Tron Legacy Sora and Riku Play Arts Kai, as well as their standard appearances. They will cost $80 each including tax, and purchasing one of these four will grant you the opportunity to receive an autograph by none other than Series Director Tetsuya Nomura!

New figures for 2.5?
Could it be--the fabled Birth by Sleep merch?!
No... of course it isn't.
Right? I swear, every few months when they start showing new prototype Play Arts Kai, everyone goes "Where's TAV?"
And every time, we just get more DC Comics, more Metal Gear, more FF7, more Sora... it's crazy!

We got some TAV keychains I guess :(
Updated with more images. The KH3D Sora and Riku PAKs will also be available, and all 4 will cost $80 each with tax.
I'm' totally getting that Roxas and Sora PAK @_@ They look amazing. Uggh and then there's the Limit form Sora that I want as well. MY WALLET. WHY!?
Man I'm too excited. My friend told me that they would come out with new KH PAKs sooner or later and she was right haha
Dear SE,
I'm so shocked and so equally disappointed I cannot even >_< Don't get me wrong, I love Roxas and KH2 Sora converted into PAK forms, but we already have a Play Arts KH2 Sora, Roxas, and all the keyblades they're holding. TAV are consistently ignored and if they aren't making TAV figures for 2.5, I really don't know when they would ever get made given KH3 will OBVIOUSLY be Sora in his new duds along with possibly Riku and Kairi in new dudes but TAV will NOT be spotlighted in KH3.
Which is why I've been holding out on TAV for 2.5 for awhile now (secretly), I really hope these are NOT the only figures for 2.5. Don't get me wrong, I love these figures, they're awesome, but I'm just crushed cause I want TAV (mainly Aqua) THAT BADLY!
Oh I love the Sora and Riku Tron figures. Man I love those designs. Especially Riku's.
Seriously, how often do they want/need to rehash Sora figures, lol, it's really getting somewhat stale/trite in the figure department with only Sora figures around, especially if these "new" ones already exist.
How about finally releasing a KH 2 Riku figure, a Xemnas figure, Ansem SoD, TAV, Vanitas, MX, Naminé?
Oh God, I want them so badly.
Can I please just get my Terra figure already? No, gimme the whole trio with Aqua and Ven.
That aside, the Roxas figure looks great. Almost consider replacing the one I have now since the legs don't bend at all (anyone else have this problem?)
Sora looks off, is his upper torso too high or disconnected? Doesn't look right to me. Also those kingdom keys look quite inferior to the older ones

I don't think Square Enix is even aware of them, sob. I want an Aqua figure.
They look awesome O_O
dat dw roxas
I'm not usually a fan of the Play Arts, just the way they are painted and their overall appearance (I prefer Nendoroids) but I could really get into the Roxas one. It looks much better then the one released ages ago...

I agree, and personally I wish they made more full-size static figures which look much more attractive on a shelf than the PAKs with their joints and pieces.
For some reason I really want that Roxas one. o_o
I don't like play-arts at all. I wish another company would do Kingdom Hearts for once.
I wish that they had added more color to Roxas's model. As for the rest of them they look amazing! ;)
I wish that they had added more color to Roxas's model.
As do I. I really like it but it's lack of color is an irk. x[

It's the prototype build, but it'll have color soon, me thinks? I'm excited to see how it looks when it's finished~ ;w; (The original Play Arts Sora and Roxas are really cool, but I kind of want to get these now haha)

That's good, I thought it was final. In that case then it looks amazing. :D
I have quite a few play arts but I don't think I could afford another one right now... If I had to pick between Sora's model and Roxas's i'd probably pick Roxas's model.

Prototype build? owo Why show a prototype?
Because they want to show us that it actually exists in a tangible form, I suppose? Just like the official announcement of KH3 months back. XD
I, and some other people out there, take comfort in simply knowing that it is. I have been waiting for a new Play Arts Kai figure ever since those DDD ones came out, and knowing that Roxas will receive the Kai treatment already sets off fireworks in my head.

I see, so it's basically a sales pitch? xD
Most probably so, yeah (although I had to look up what "sales pitch" means because I'm not familiar with the term). I believe the prototype isn't available for sale yet, so it could be that they were trying to generate some buzz by exhibiting it.

That's more or less what a promo or sales pitch is. It's certainly effective, even I want it. o_o
Sora's face is just all wrong, too. He looks even more girly than usual.. They nailed it with DDD's figure.
i can see what you mean. but it still looks pretty freakin sweet. i did get my hands on the sora and riku tron figures at comic con last year and they look great. but i like how they are remaking roxas. hes gonna look even more awesome in the new figure. :D
These figures are really really nice, I'm excited for just about all of the ones I saw that they released actually. Fran, too. (now if only I could afford them) What I'm REALLY excited for are the Play Arts figures! I hope to have all of those one day.
I own a bunch of play arts But I have not gotten one of roxas ones yet so I really want to save up my money to get that soon. I would be so height if they made a real life besides play arts Sora and Mickey!

I only have two so far! I got them both at Otakon I think. I have the one with Roxas sitting on the Twilight Town clock tower ledge, and Sora in the World That Never Was. I love them both, but I want mooooorreee /cue "Part of Your World" music
THose playarts always amaze me. Nomura said he wanted BBS playarts, and I agree with him, i want it.

I would give my soul for an Aqua Play Arts figure.
