BlazBlue Continuum Shift Fan Edition

Arc System Works knew how to make a fighting game look like a million bucks, and the BlazBlue Continuum Shift Fan Edition on Playstation 3 packages that visual flair into a collector's set that hits hard. This PS3 Fan Edition includes a Noel Vermillion figurine, a character who became the face of the franchise's blend of anime aesthetics and precision combat. She's joined by a limited edition art print illustrated by Alvin Lee, known for his work with Marvel and Udon, giving this set a crossover pedigree that most fighting game editions can only dream about.

Rounding it out is a DLC code for Makoto, the fan-favorite squirrel girl who added a brawler's swagger to the roster. BlazBlue was the series that proved 2D fighters could be breathtaking in high definition, and Continuum Shift refined every pixel of its predecessor. The Noel figurine is the anchor here.

She's become one of those display pieces that fighting game collectors actively seek out, and finding her complete in box with the art print is getting harder by the year. That Alvin Lee print carries its own collectible weight, blending the fighting game community with the broader world of comic art illustration. For anyone building a PS3 fighting game shelf, this Fan Edition punches well above its weight class.
