Nendoroid

YA! YA! YA! YA! The wallet-troubling merchandisers over at Good Smile Co. have opened pre-orders on the next gaming superstar joining its enormous range of ridiculously adorable Nendoroid figurines — And this time around, it’s a true icon of the medium, with the coming of Street Fighter legend Chun-Li! As with all Nendoroid releases, Chun-Li stands a dinky 100mm in height, (that’s just under four inches), and comes complete with a stand and several faceplates and accessories — allowing fans to stage The Strongest…

Sexual tension: Now in chibi form Good Smile Co. has opened pre-orders on its second Nendoroid figure pulled from Supergiant Games’ excellent roguelite, Hades — Joining the huge collection of dinky PVC pop-culture characters is our first boss, the guardian of Tartarus, and Zagreus’ rival in both love and war, Megaera. Megaera stands a miniature 100mm in height (just under four inches) and is packed out with the posing power that comes as standard with the Nendoroid range. The harsh-whisperin’ fury sister comes…

Dance through your Desktop While Good Smile Company’s catalogue of delightful Nendoroid toys is well into three figures, it is staggering to believe that WayForward’s cute genie gal Shantae was still yet to join the roster. After all, The Half-Genie Hero seems custom designed for such pint-sized stylization. Well, after years of longing, Good Smile has finally opened pre-orders on the new Nendo of the purple-haired wonder, ready to come dancing out of the screen and onto your toy shelf. As is the case for all…

Does Not Come with Puppy The sun is shining, the weekend is just around the corner, and Good Smile Company has opened pre-orders on this ridiculously adorable Nendoroid of Guilty Gear‘s mysterious, straight-faced apocalypse lover, Ramlethal Valentine. Like so many of her compadres in the mammoth Nendoroid range, (though only the second pulled from Arc System Works’ anime fight franchise), Ramlethal stands a dinky four inches in height, (and most of that is her big ol’ hat), and is authentically bedecked in her…

On the road again I may not buy much merch from Good Smile Company these days, but showing up to see which video game characters have been immortalized as stylish figures is a fun pastime. How will they be represented in Nendoroid form, and what are the accessories? I like to poke around. In the case of this 30th Anniversary Nendoroid Kirby, it’s all about the faces. After three decades of powerful pink puff action, there’s this cutie (via Siliconera): From the "Kirby" series of games comes Nendoroid Kirby: 30th…

The little PlayStation mascot that could The next PlayStation character to get a Nendoroid is none other than Astro from Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Astro’s Playroom, and that goes to show how far this mascot has come. I mean it! We were talking about Good Smile Company’s figure for Aloy (of Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West fame) just a few days ago. And now here’s the humble little bot, looking like a champ. When’s the next game? There’s got to be another one. New Challenge Unlocked! 01 – Pre-order Nendoroid Astro…

But I found some anyway Good Smile Company’s range of pint-sized Nendoroid figures are well known for their wholesome adorability… But I think this latest effort takes things to a whole new level of cuteness. The intrepid Aloy — protagonist of Guerrilla Games’ acclaimed Horizon franchise — is taking aim at your heart and wallet.
