I updated the page with new info as it was lacking two of the sets; I hope this is okay. I removed the numbering on the later volumes as I can't find any official numbering for them.

The '''Formation Arts Figures''' are officially-licensed sets of collectible figures, like the static arts and play arts figures, made for the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' game series, and are part of [[wikipedia:Square Enix|Square Enix]]'s larger ''Formation Arts'' collectible figurines series.  As of 2013, four official ''Kingdom Hearts'' sets have been released.

All sets are composed of six figures, three heroes and three villains. All figures are made of heavy plastic and feature a character or characters with important props, locations, or symbols that represent them.   
All three original volumes are composed of six figures; three heroes and three villains. The ''Kingdom Hearts II'' volumes are composed of five figures each, and lack the chess icons of the previous series. All figures are made of heavy plastic and feature a character or characters with important props, locations, or symbols that represent them.   


The figures have a black or white symbol on the back opposite the [[Mickey]] head or [[Heartless]] symbol on the front of the base. This marks which chess piece the figure corresponds to so the figures can be used on a [[wikipedia:Chess|Chess]] board. However, there are repeats of the same piece throughout the series so you can use whatever ones you want based on liking or which ones you receive.

The second version comes packaged in a blister pack, so the character being chosen is readily seen; only the heroes from each set are available.  In addition, instead of coming in pieces as the original releases did, the blister figures are made from one molded, painted piece of plastic.  They are generally seen as lower in quality, but on the plus side are cheaper and readily available in more places, including many American shops and bookstore chains such as [[wikipedia:Borders Group|Borders]].
