So far, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has had a handful of said content drops, including updates and some truly impressive merch, but developer Sandfall Interactive isn't done just yet.

It makes sense that Esquie would get his own Nendoroid figure, considering he is one of the most beloved characters from the game. His unique aphorisms are extremely quotable and give Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's rather dour and somber adventure a lot of heart.
He's a delightful reprieve from all the nightmarish horrors Clair Obscur's cast is put through, and so he absolutely deserves a figurine.
