Fullmetal Alchemist
Banpresto brings Fullmetal Alchemist to the shelf through its Grandista line, the prize figure range built around large size and dense sculpting. It suits a series with a hero as instantly recognisable as Edward Elric.
Hiromu Arakawa gave the cast strong silhouettes and clear costume stories, which is exactly what a large single-pose figure needs to read from across a room. UK delivery is free.
Collector's Guide
Collectibles
Banpresto approaches the series through its prize figure lines:
- Grandista figures, Banpresto's large-format line. The range commits to one strong pose and a sculpt dense enough to hold up at close range, which gives a character like Edward Elric real presence on a shelf.
Every release is made under official licence by Bandai Spirits, the company behind Banpresto.
Why Collectors Love It
Fullmetal Alchemist has one of the most recognisable character designs in manga. Edward Elric's red coat, braided hair and steel automail arm read instantly, even in silhouette. That clarity is what makes him work so well as a large display figure.
The series has also stayed popular across both anime adaptations, so it draws collectors who came to it through the 2003 series as well as those who found it through Brotherhood. The design has held steady from the manga onwards, so a figure of Edward belongs in either collection.

FAQs
What is Fullmetal Alchemist?
It is a manga by Hiromu Arakawa, serialised in Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan from 2001 to 2010. It follows the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric as they search for the Philosopher's Stone to restore the bodies they lost to alchemy.
What is the difference between Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood?
Both are anime adaptations by Studio Bones. The 2003 series tells its own story after catching up with the manga, while Brotherhood from 2009 follows the manga through to its ending.
What is a Grandista figure?
Grandista is Banpresto's large-format prize figure line, built around size and dense sculpting. Prize figures are first made for crane games in Japanese arcades, which keeps them more affordable than most scale figures.
Are these figures officially licensed?
Yes. Everything here is an official Banpresto product made under licence by Bandai Spirits, sourced through authorised channels.
