Hades Megaera Nendoroid

We have a bit of news about its new Hades Nendoroid for Megaera, including a release date, new photos, and pre-orders.

The figure was previously unveiled during the WonHobby Gallery 2022 Spring event. Good Smile today confirmed that it will launch in July 2023.

WonHobby Gallery 2022 Autumn

WonHobby Gallery 2022 Autumn is taking place today with an exhibition in Akihabara, and it includes all of the latest news and announcements regarding figures.

A number of Nintendo-related products are on display. This includes a new figure for Veronica as she appeared in Veronica, a first look at the Nendoroid for Deltarune’s Ralsei, the final versions of the Cuphead Nendoroids, and more.

Shantae Nendoroid release date pre-order

We have news about the upcoming Shantae Nendoroid, including a release date, new photos, and pre-orders.

Good Smile has the new figure planned for May 2023. She comes with three face plates including a standard face, a winking face, and an attacking face. Additionally, buyers will receive an optional fireball part, a whipping ponytail part for creating action poses, and other interchangeable hand, arm, and leg parts that lets them come up with dancing poses. And if that wasn’t enough, the package contains a miniature figure of Shantae transformed into her Monkey Form.

The Human Toriel Nendoroid

At New York Comic Con 2022 today, the latest Nendoroid news was shared, and we now know that The Human / Toriel from Undertale is getting a figure. As of now we only have the concept image above. This is the first step in the production process, and we’ll probably be seeing a prototype version in the near future followed by the finalized design and release date.

The Human / Toriel joins a few other Undertale Nendoroids. We’ve seen Sans, Papyrus, and Undyne so far.

King Dedede Nendoroid

We have an update on the previously-announced King Dedede Nendoroid, as Good Smile has provided a release date and started up pre-orders today.

The new Nendoroid has interchangeable eye and mouth parts to create a smiling face, a cool-looking determined face, and a shocked, jaw-dropped face. Also as an optional part, King Dedede’s hammer is included. Those that want to properly display the figure can do so with a stand that’s a part of the package.

Smile Fest 2022 is currently taking place in Tokyo, and it’s brought along some major news about future figures – including a couple for Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s Mio.

The event has provided arguably the most amount of reveals and updates we’ve seen at one of these expos. In the case of Mio, she’s getting not one, but two different figures. Other announcements include a King Dedede Nendoroid, our first look at the upcoming Metroid Dread figure for Samus, and more.

Thanatos Nendoroid Hades

Earlier this year, it was announced that a new Nendoroid was in production based on Thanatos from Hades. Good Smile has now followed up with additional information, including a release date.

Thanatos comes with two face plates. Along with a standard face, a smiling face is included as well. Buyers will also receive optional parts, including a scythe, the Pierced Butterfly keepsake, and Mort. It measures roughly 100mm in height and is sculpted by POLY-TOYS.

Klonoa Nendoroid

A new Nendoroid figure has been revealed, with the latest design featuring Klonoa. Currently we have a look at it in prototype form – check it out above. Max Factory shared the news on social media.

As fans will notice, Klonoa isn’t alone. It looks like he’ll be accompanied by Huepow, Klonoa’s best friend and the Prince of Cress.

Kirby Nendoroid - Kirby: 30th Anniversary Edition

The Kirby Nendoroid – Kirby: 30th Anniversary Edition was just shown off at WonHobby Gallery 2022 Spring over the weekend, and Good Smile has already followed up with a release date. The figure is currently planned for January 31, 2023.

As the name of the Nendoroid implies, the figure is intended to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Kirby. The included magnets make it easy to pose.
