Capcom just published a new blog entry on their website, examining the history of Phoenix Wright and giving us a more in-depth look at his new nemesis, Rayfa Padma Khura’in, who makes her debut in the upcoming game Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. You can find the blog post below.

With a recently announced September 8^th release date, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is now less than a month away! The sometimes serious, often goofy, but always loveable cast of the Ace Attorney series has grown significantly over the years, so today we’re kicking off the first in a series of character profiles to tell you about what some of the returning characters have been up to, and introduce some of the characters they’ll meet along their journey in the upcoming game. Today we have the legendary attorney himself, Phoenix Wright, and series newcomer, the Royal Priestess and Princess of the Kingdom of Khura’in, Rayfa Padma Khura’in (and I thought “Chief Prosecutor” was a fancy title…).

Phoenix Wright, currently head of the Wright Anything Agency, has been around since the very beginning. That’s probably not a surprise to most, even if you’re not familiar with the series. His name’s right there in the title after all. Phoenix has been through quite a lot since his early days as a rookie attorney, when he first took on a case defending his childhood friend, Larry Butz, against a murder accusation. Thanks to the help of his boss and mentor, Mia Fey, and his own deduction skills, Phoenix cemented his ability to turn the case around when he was on the brink of defeat, ultimately proving Larry’s innocence.

First 4 Figures has revealed its latest effort: a new item featuring Link on The King of Red Lions. With it standing at 25 inches tall from the tip of the mast to the base, the statue is one of the largest pieces in the Zelda line from the company. It’ll come in deluxe full-color packaging, a hand numbered base, and an authenticity card that allows you to purchase the same product number for future pieces in the Wind Waker series.

Like usual, there are two versions of the figure: standard and exclusive. In the exclusive version, bright LEDs pulse rhythmically, giving the impression of flowing water.

The standard version costs $449.99. Alternatively, you can pick up the exclusive version for $479.99. Both ship in Q2 2017.
