Good Smile Company announced it opened standard pre-orders for the 100th Hatsune Miku Nendoroid, known as the 100th Adventure version figure, ahead of its October 2025 debut in Japan. It will cost ￥8,000 (~$55). This comes after the early-bird purchase option in March 2025. As a reminder, orders for it aren’t available on the US site due to the Trump tariffs.

As usual, this is a Nendoroid with three face plates. The standard one features her smiling. An excited one features a more enthusiastic smile and blush on her cheeks. The third leaves her looking concerned, with her eyes entirely black. She comes with a bag she can carry, removable hat, map she can hold, and small gold Miku statue as a treasure.

Here’s a closer look at how this Nendoroid will look and some possible poses:

There’s also a promotional trailer on YouTube that shows how the official Tsuki no Usagi art inspired the design for the Hatsune Miku figure, highlighted some details, and showed her “finding” a golden Miku treasure.

The Hatsune Miku 100th Adventure Nendoroid will debut in Japan in October 2025, with a worldwide release following eventually. Pre-orders are open until July 2, 2025.

On May 7, 2025, the Weibo page for Love and Deepspace confirmed Infold and Good Smile Company would team up for Nendoroid figures based on the cast, and now reports and official images are coming in sharing that Xavier is the first one. So far, the only store that ships worldwide that is selling it is Aitai Kuji, as even the Japanese branch of the Good Smile Company store isn’t selling him as of 12pm ET on May 12, 2025. He will apparently cost ¥7,500 (~$51) and release in October 2025 in Japan. [Thanks, Kamisatoya and Audrey Lamsam!]

Xavier is one of the three love interests that first debuted in the Love and Deepspace otome game at launch. (Sylus and Caleb appeared months later.) He’s a Deepspace Hunter who works alongside the heroine. He’s known for using the power of light to attack enemies, thanks to his Evol, and uses a sword in combat. 

The Nendoroid of Xavier will acknowledge details about him from Love and Deepspace. Given he’s always nodding off, there will be one face plate showing him asleep that can be used with an optional eyemask accessory. Another faceplate features him smiling, while a third shows him in the midst of a fight with two cuts on his face. He’ll come with a sword that he can equip. Also, in a nod to the exclusive plush you can get with him when you head to the Claw Machine in-game, a Bunbun white rabbit accessory will be included for him to hold.

Here are all the initial images from Good Smile Company and Infold that appeared online so far.

It is unknown which character could appear next, as the Weibo announcement image did show all five silhouettes. The first teaser image, which you can see below, featured silhouettes of Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, and Caleb from left to right. So if the companies go in order and start with the first three bachelors that appeared in the game, we could see Zayne or Rafayel next. 

The Xavier Love and Deepspace Nendoroid will apparently launch in October 2025 in Asia, with other figures planned after. The game is available on mobile devices.

Good Smile Company announced how the tariffs enacted by President Donald Trump affect Nendoroids, figmas, figures, and other pieces of video game and anime merchandise. It won’t take pre-orders for items, is delayed shipments for in-progress pre-orders, increased prices on its storefront, and items won’t be tax exempt under the de minimis tax exemption system, according to messages on the US and Japanese sites.

The announcement on the Japanese site ended up being a little more detailed, with more exact dates for the changes and locations. It noted this applies to the US, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. If a product is already in-stock, it can be purchased. However, it might cost more now. Starting immediately, pre-orders are closed to folks in those regions and shipments to the US are delayed. On the Japanese site, it specifically stated this runs April 24, 2025 through May 14, 2025. On the US one, there’s no end-date.

In of the possible tariffs being applied and other price changes, that varies. The US site said prices already changed. It also promised to alter that if situations change. The Japanese site said the tariffs starting at 145% are expected to start “on or after May 2, 2025.” It also noted that since the de minimis tax exemption will start, that means the order will be taxed even if is under $800. The site also said those who order items in the US need to pay the tariffs through customs or the company (such as FedEx, UPS, or DHL) that delivers them. 

Good Smile Company game and anime Nendoroids, figures, figmas, and merchandise aren’t the only products being hit by the Trump tariffs. Square Enix halted pre-orders from its official US storefront. Switch 2 pre-orders ended up delayed, and some of the peripherals, accessories, and amiibo prices changed as a result.

Good Smile Company pre-orders for its anime and game Nendoroids, figures, figmas, and merchandise headed to the US and its territories are now stopped and existing pre-orders and shipments are delayed as a result of the Trump Tariffs.

Good Smile Company announced it will sell two Hatsune Miku Maneki Neko Nendoroids, with one being an old lucky cat version of the character and the other being a new figure. The old one is a rerelease of figure 1,777. The new one is a Black Version that is number 2,750.  Both are expected to appear in Japan in October 2025, and they are only available in the Japanese storefront for ￥7,900 each. 

Both of the Hatsune Miku figures feature the Vocaloid figure in outfits inspired by Maneki Neko lucky cats seen in Japan. Each one features three face plates. The original one has a standard one, one in which she’s smiling and winking, and a third enthusiastic one with eyes squished shut. The new one has a relaxed smiling face plate, one in which she is sleepy and yawning, and a third sly one. The older one comes with a gold suitcase with leak design and a golden leak. The new one has a cat uchiwa fan. Both feature parts to make them kneel down and perform the trademark lucky cat pose.

As a reminder, here is how the original version of the Nendoroid with the character in the white outfit looks:

And this is how the new figure with Miku in a black outfit looks.

The Hatsune Miku Maneki Neko white and black version Nendoroids will return in October 2025, and we should see the figures appear worldwide after that. Pre-orders are open until May 28, 2025.

Good Smile Company has opened global pre-orders for its Nendoroid Doll of Aventurine from Honkai: Star Rail. The doll figure for one of the game's popular male characters, who was also featured on the 2025 White Day, will be available worldwide in 2026 with a variety of sets.

The most complete package will cost ¥15,200 / $131.99. It will contain the Aventurine Nendoroid Doll with both the Star Rail Live and Pajama attire sets. The regular set that does not include the pajama set is available at ¥12,000 / $103.99. Good Smile Company is also selling the Star Rail Live and Pajama attire sets on their own without the doll figure at ¥7,000 / $61.99 and ¥3,200 / $28.99, respectively.

Good Smile Company will also include an exclusive origami bird-styled katyusha hairband for orders of any sets made on its international and North American web stores. The regular Nendoroid Doll set will have an additional pinback button badge, and the complete set will come with a bonus colored illustration paper.

Here are the sample images showing the poses the Nendoroid Doll can take:

The Nendoroid Doll sets featuring Aventurine from Honkai: Star Rail will be available to ship worldwide from Japan in February 2026 and North America from the US in Q3 2026. Good Smile Company will close the pre-order window on April 30, 2025.

Good Smile Company announced it is now taking orders for its first Nendoroid Plamo model kit, which allows someone to build a  Hatsune Miku figure that looks like a smaller take on a Nendoroid. When finished, it ends up being about half the size of a standard one. It costs ￥2,650/$21.99, and it is expected to ship in August 2025 in Japan and early 2026 worldwide.

So a Nendoroid figure is typically 100mm, which is just under four inches, and the Nendoroid Plamo model kit will build items that are 50mm (about two inches) tall. Unlike a Nendoroid, they will not come with additional face parts. They also will only come with one pair of hands. However, there will be some minor articulation, as the photos of this first one show someone will be able to turn Miku’s head, move her arms, adjust her twintail pigtail positions, and twist her hands at the wrist. 

This will also be a simple style Hatsune Miku model kit. The initial photos show the five sprues, which hold 26 parts used to build the character. The ones with the face plate and torso top have pre-painted elements. The product page also confirmed there will be stickers for other accents. No glue is needed, but nippers are recommended to safely remove parts from the sprues. 

Here’s a closer look at how the kit will look when it arrives.

There is also a photo comparing the model to an actual Nendoroid, to provide a better sense of scale.

This comes as Good Smile Company prepares to hit a milestone when it comes to Hatsune Miku figures. It is working on a 100th Nendoroid of the Vocaloid. 

The Hatsune Miku Nendoroid Plamo model kit will ship in August 2025 in Japan and Q1 2026 worldwide. Pre-orders are open through Good Smile Company until May 7, 2025.

Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for a series of rereleased Nendoroids based on NieR: Automata characters, including YorHa 2B, 9S, and A2 (Long Hair Version). Each Nendoroid will cost ￥6,600 with shipping expected in July 2025.

Both 2B and 9S come with two faceplates and removeable blindfolds, accompanying Pod units, and their Black Boxes. A2, meanwhile, comes with 3 faceplates and a sheet of B-Mode effects. Each of the characters come with stands, optional parts and weapons with effects, with 9S also coming with several Hacking effects and a small machine enemy.

Additionally, the US Good Smile Store also has Nendoroids of 9S and both Long Hair and Short Hair versions of A2 currently in stock, despite the NieR: Automata rerelease not appearing to affect that outlet.

You can get a look at the 2B, 9S, and A2 (Long Hair) Nendoroids via the gallery below:

Good Smile also recently opened pre-orders for a fully articulated Figma figure of A2, which should ship in early 2026. Meanwhile, a NieR Anniversary Showcase is scheduled to go live on April 19, 2025.

The rereleased NieR: Automata Nendoroids of 2B, 9S, and A2 (Long Hair) are available to pre-order on the Good Smile Online Shop until April 23, 2025. They will ship in Japan in July 2025 and worldwide after that.

During Hololive Super Expo 2025 and Hololive 6th Fes, Good Smile Company shared its Vtuber Nendoroids, including the Fuwamoco figures of Fuwawa and Mococo Abyssgard. These are in various stages of development, and some appeared as painted prototypes. This means we could see pre-orders for a few appear in the next few weeks.

The Hololive Vtuber Nendoroids furthest along are ones in the casual clothes line. Concept art for these first debuted in March 2024 at last year’s Hololive Super Expo. Pre-orders for the Houshou Marine Office Lady version that is part of this line already opened ahead of its September 2025 debut. The Usada Pekora and Oozora Subaru ones also appeared as painted prototypes at the event, so those pre-orders will likely open soon. However, the Shirakami Fubuki and Sakura Miko ones are still in the unpainted prototype phase, so they won’t likely appear until perhaps 2026.

Here’s how all of those look so far:

As for the Hololive English Vtuber Nendoroids, there are some from the Promise group and the first two Fuwamoco Fuwawa and Mococo Advent figures. In the case of Promise, Ceres Fauna is absent as she graduated in 2024. However, the unpainted prototypes of Hakos Baelz, IRyS, Nanashi Mumei, and Ouro Kronii are all there. The Fuwamoco ones also showed up as unpainted prototypes.

Here’s how all six of those are coming along: 

Good Smile Company's released multiple Hololive figures of people from the English and Japanese. It's also released ones for other companies like Nijisanji and VShojo, in addition to indie performers.

There are no release windows for any of the Hololive Super Expo 2025 and Hololive 6th Fes Vtuber Nendoroids, though it’s likely the new Usada Pekora and Oozora Subaru figures will be the next to release.

Good Smile Company opened up orders for two new Hatsune Miku figures of the Sakura Miku variant, with one being a totally new Harmonia Humming doll and the other a Nendoroid 2.0 release. The ￥7,500/$59.99 rerun Nendoroid will show up first in August 2025, and its an updated take on the 274 rerun of the cherry blossom figure from years ago. Meanwhile, the doll is ￥30,000/$236.99 and will launch in December 2025. 

The Sakura Miku Nendoroid is a revitalized version of the traditional Nendoroid, so there are no extra parts. It’s just widely available again and feature some stylistic updates to bring it more in line with other figures in this line. She has a neutral smiling face, one in which she’s winking, and a final one with a smile so big her eyes are closed. She also comes with a dango, a sakura blossom, and a camera she can hold. You can also swap her lower half for one that lets her sit. She is missing some of the other accessories, like green cushions, from the original release.

Here’s how that looks:

Good Smile Company is about to hit a hallmark soon for Hatsune Miku Nendoroid figures. It's working on its 100th one.

In the case of the Harmonia Humming Sakura Miku, you’re getting a themed Hatsune Miku outfit that is compatible with any doll in the line as well as the doll itself. Her gradient pink pigtail wig is done up like her hair and features removable cherry hair accessories. She also has removable cherry-pink eyes. Aside from the included headset she can wear, there are no extra accessories.

Here’s how that looks:

The pre-orders for the Sakura Miku Harmonia Humming doll and the other a Nendoroid 2.0 close on April 16, 2025. The Nendoroid appears in August 2025, and the doll debuts in December 2025.

Good Smile Company opened up pre-orders for the RuriDragon Nendoroid of heroine Ruri Aoki. She costs ￥6,800 or $54.99, depending on where you buy her. She’s also expected to debut in September 2025. The figure also comes with a special bonus of a phone for her to hold and extra hand if you buy it direct through Good Smile Company. She’s based on her most recent look from the RuriDragon manga and wears her school uniform. 

Ruri comes with a number of effects and parts based on events of the series. Her three expressions are one with a huge, big, open mouth smile that shows her new fangs, one of her exasperated, and one that makes it look like she’s about to sneeze. That last one is also accompanied by a fireball effect part, which references the fact that in the first chapter of the manga after discovering her dragon heritage she sneezes out fire accidentally. She also comes with an onigiri and electric effects for her hands.

Here’s a closer look at the Ruri Aoki RuriDragon Nendoroid:

Here’s what the Good Smile Company storefront bonus looks like. You get Ruri’s pink phone with black design on the back, as well as a hand that is designed to be able to hold it. The faceplate shown in the example photo comes with the figure. 

As for the RuriDragon manga, it is still running. It debuted back in June 2022, and right now it is in Weekly Shonen Jump. Both Viz Media and MangaPlus share new chapters in English as they are released. It’s on a biweekly schedule at the moment, so chapter 31 will debut on March 23, 2025. The first physical volume of the manga appeared in English in January 2025, and the second will debut on August 5, 2025.

The RuriDragon Nendoroid of Ruri Aoki will debut in Japan in September 2025, and a worldwide release will follow. Pre-orders are open until April 16, 2025. The RuriDragon manga is running, with Viz Media releasing physical volumes outside Japan.

Good Smile Company has opened up pre-orders for its Nendoroids of Lenalee and Allen from D.Gray-Man. Both pre-orders will close on April 9, 2025. As a note, the Allen Nendoroid is a re-release.

The Allen Nendoroid costs 5900 JPY on the Japanese site, or $42.99 on the North American one. He’ll come out in July 2025 for Japan and Q4 2025 for North America. Meanwhile, Lenalee will cost a bit more. The Lenalee Nendoroid on the Japanese site costs 6900 JPY, whereas on the North American site, she costs $49.99. She’ll also come out a bit later. In Japan, people will receive her around August 2025. North American customers will see her in Q1 2026.

Like most Nendoroids, both the D.Gray-Man Allen and Lenalee figures will have three face plates. Lenalee will have a smiling face, an angry face, and a battle one. She’ll also have optional parts like her Dark Boots, a clipboard, and Komui’s cup. The re-release of the Allen Nendoroid will have the same face plates and optional parts as his original run in December 2021. He has a standard expression, an eating expression, and a smiling expression. Optional parts include dango, playing cards, and Timcampy.

The D.Gray-Man Nendoroids of Lenalee and Allen are open for pre-order until April 9, 2025. Other Nendoroids you can get right now include Asuna from Sword Art Online and the Jollibee mascot.

The post D.Gray-Man Nendoroids Star Lenalee And Allen appeared first on Siliconera.

Good Smile Company announced that pre-orders are now open for a Nendoroid based on the mascot for Jollibee. The figure is expected to ship sometime in July 2025.

Jollibee is the titular mascot of a Filipino fast-food chain. He’s a cheerful bee wearing a chef’s hat, with a design inspired by Mickey Mouse. The Nendoroid version of him can be posed in variety of positions and comes with a selection of foods from the restaurant. These include a plate of Jolly Spaghetti and the restaurant’s famous Chickenjoy bucket. It only comes with one faceplate, featuring the character’s trademark happy grin.

The Jollibee Nendoroid is available to pre-order and will cost ¥6,500. Pre-orders will be closing on April 2, 2025 and the figure will ship sometimes in July 2025.

Jollibee is a fast-food company based in the Phillipines, although it has branches across Asia and North America. It also has some limited European locations in Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom. It’s best known for its Chickenjoy meal, which is a fried chicken meal that can be served spicy, along with a range of sides including rice, fries and corn. The Jolly Spaghetti is another popular meal, which is a Filipino-style spaghetti dish served with hot dog and ham in a beef sauce.

The Jollibee Nendoroid is available now for pre-order and is expected to ship in July 2025.

The next new Ace Attorney figures are two Great Ace Attorney Nendoroids and Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth Nendoroid Dolls. Good Smile Company brought all four of them up at Wonder Festival 2025 Winter. No release dates came up, but we should see the dolls debut first. This is because the two of them appeared as painted prototypes with full sets of clothing at the event.

As Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth are Nendoroid Dolls, they act a bit different than the traditional figures. These tend to come with one face plate, and perhaps an extra pair of hands. They are compatible with normal Nendoroids, so if someone got the ones that released a few years back they can use those face plates, hands, and accessories with these. The outfits are one-size fit all. This means you could put Phoenix in Miles’ suit, and vice versa. 

Here’s how those two look:

As for the Great Ace Attorney Nendoroids, official concept art for two appeared. These would bring lead character Ryunosuke Naruhodo and rival Kazuma Asogi to life. Each of these appeared in the signature chibi style used for these types of figures. This means we don’t know what their accessories could look like.

Here is the concept art for both of them.

The Ace Attorney Nendoroid Dolls of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth and Great Ace Attorney Nendoroids of Ryunosuke Naruhodo and Kazuma Asogi are in development, with no release dates available for any of the figures yet. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is on the Switch, PS4, and PC, and the original games appeared on the 3DS and mobile devices in Japan. The last Ace Attorney entry to appear was the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection on the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

There’s a new update on the Yakuza Nendoroids from WonFes 2025 Winter, and Good Smile Company shared prototypes of the Goro Majima, Ichiban Kasuga, and Kazuma Kiryu Like a Dragon figures. Two are further along in development than the other. As they appeared as painted prototypes, this could mean that we’ll see pre-orders open for one or both in the next few weeks.

Good Smile Company announced all three of the Like a Dragon figures at WonFes 2023 Shanghai, before revealing the Yakuza Nendoroids concept art for Kasuga, Kiryu, and Majima at WonHobby 38. At that point, it seemed like all three were at about the same stage of development, as we saw chibi renderings of the three leads. However, at this point both Kasuga and Kiryu photos showed them as painted prototypes, while Majima is only an unpainted one.

All three characters are wearing their most memorable outfits. Kiryu is in his grey suit with crimson shirt. No accessories are shown with him, and the face plate features his stoic expression.  Kasuga is wearing his red suit with grey shirt. His hair isn’t tied back, and his expression shows him with a smile and raised eyebrow. He’s carrying a baseball bat over his shoulder, hinting at one of his included weapons. In the case of Majima, his suit jacket is open and he has no shirt on. He isn’t holding any accessories. His face place shows him with a wild-eyed, possibly laughing, expression. While he isn’t painted, we can see the design on his eye patch will be recreated.

Here’s how all three look so far:

There’s no release window for any of these three Yakuza Nendoroids will be released, though it seems the Kasuga and Kiryu figures will appear before the Majima one. The most recent Yakuza game is Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii comes to the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 21, 2025.
