At a recent Livestream, Great Smile Company revealed that a Kingdom Hearts 2 Riku Nendoroid was in development and other characters in the second match at the Kingdom Hearts franchise. The Riku Nendoroid’s preorders are now open on the company’s official online store and will close on January 7, 2021. The Nendoroid prices $45.99, and buyers are limited to buying a maximum of 3 figurines.
Like many Nendoroids, the figurine stands approximately four inches tall and consists of both ABS and PVC plastic. The completely articulated diminutive character has adjusted proportions into the Kingdom Hearts Riku Nendoroid figurine, which came out in January 2019 to demonstrate that Riku is currently older and has grown.

as well as a clear plastic screen stand, the Kingdom Hearts 2 Riku Nendoroid comes with two faceplates, one with a smiling expression and the other appearing more serious, in addition to his Way into the Dawn Keyblade, Kairi’s correspondence, and the jar that it was shipped in. Three distinct versions of the right and left hands are supplied to enable Riku to maintain the included items.
Additionally, currently available for preorder is a Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora Nendoroid, which includes three face plates and the Kingdom Key. While other Kingdom Hearts 2 figurines were declared to be in development during the Livestream, the specific characters and their launch dates have not yet been shown.
Nendoroid figurines provide an option to the chibi-style Funko Pop figures and the more lifelike figurines created by McFarlane Toys or Dark Horse. GoodSmile Company has created Nendoroid figurines for any range of popular video game characters over the years. Ellie from The Last of Us 2, Sam Porter Bridges from Death Stranding, and Isabelle out of Animal Crossing: New Horizons have all received a Nendoroid makeover. And more recently, Crash Bandicoot and the Doom Slayer in DOOM Eternal Nendoroid figurines have been announced to be in development for launch sometime in mid-2021.
Different Nendoroid figurines come with varying amounts of accessories. By way of example, the Doom Slayer will come with a helmet, equipment launcher, chainsaw, Crucible Blade, Super Shotgun, two versions of the DOOM Blade, effect parts for the gear launcher and chainsaws, as well as a miniature Cacodemon figure. The Witcher 3’s Yennefer Nendoroid, on the other hand, came with just three items: a raven, a lightning effect to add to her hands, and a Gwent card. The prices of the figurines often reflect this variation in the number of props supplied.
