Final Fantasy Coca Cola Figures
In 2000, Squaresoft and Coca Cola joined forces to bring Final Fantasy figurines attached to Coca-Cola products sold in shops. Each 500mL bottle of Coca-Cola included one of the 1.5" plastic figurines with stands. Underneath every figurine there is a Coca-Cola logo as well as the character's name and its variant. The variants were "deformed" (big head, disproportionate body), "real" (more realistically proportioned) and "crystal" (solid red figurines). Various characters from Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy X are featured.
​
Volume 1
Volume 1 contains 24 "deformed" style figurines, of which 12 are from Final Fantasy VII, and 12 from Final Fantasy VIII. Two versions of each figurine exist, a colored one, and a solid red "crystal" version.
​
Characters in Volume 1 are:

Acting on behalf of Jenova, he works to lead the planet to ruin.
A master of martial arts and a member of the anti-Shinra resistance group AVALANCHE.

A SeeD cadet training to be a mercenary at Balamb Garden. Evenly matched and using the same weapon, he is widely considered to be Squall's rival.

He seems to have some 'romantic' dream involving sorceresses.
An aspiring journalist and former Galbadian soldier who is traveling the world in search of a girl who was kidnapped by a sorceress. He may not think things through all the time, but there's something about his easy-going, genuine demeanor that draws people to him.
