Icrea is set to release a figure of Aigis from Persona 3 based on her EX Origa Mode from Persona 4 Arena Ultimax in October 2024. While this figure is based on her appearance from the fighting game, the design for the Aigis EX Origa Mode figure is based on the illustration drawn by Shigenori Soejima for Square Enix's Lord of Vermillion Re:2 collaboration. Pre-orders will run from now until December 22, 2023 and the figure will cost ¥33,000 (approximately $223 USD).

Under the supervision of Soejima, this Aigis figure features high quality modeling and coloring. The Aigis figure is a 1/6 scale statue with an LED light emitting from her Papillon Heart, casting a blue glow on the figure when it is turned on. Aigis stands atop a pedestal with red iron beams and grey concrete while posed as if she is activating her EX Origa Mode.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax originally released in arcades Japan in 2013 and then later released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2014. The game was eventually ported over to the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC through Steam in 2022. The game served as an arcade fighter crossover between Persona 3 and Persona 4 as the characters from both games try to make sense of a mysterious force behind the reappearance of the Midnight Channel in Inaba. The cast of both games must compete in the P-1 Climax fighting tournament to uncover the truth and save the world from the Shadows that threaten to destroy it.

The Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Aigis EX Origa Mode figure is scheduled to release in October 2024.
