My nendoroid wishlist
May. 24th, 2026 02:00 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
requiems4th June is Nendoroid FUNS - the last included Final Fantasy and the Sakura announcements, and one for Persona 5 - and 6th June is Good Smile Fest, which we know for sure will include one Sakura scale alongside Keroberos. And whilst the concept fortunately didn't sell it to me and I'm not a fan of Sakura's outfit, full size Kero has next to no figures at all, so I'm excited to see him at least.
This post is however about nendoroids specifically. I could make it much, much longer, but whittled it down to those I feel have a decent chance based on character popularity for what would sell, precedent (if they've released nendos in the series already), and outside factors that may tip the balance in that series' favour.
This is part because it's my heart's desire, but today, the 24th May, is the 10th anniversary since launch, and a couple of days ago GSC announced a rerelease for Kiriko. It could happen, but given that only two nendo's have been made for Overwatch this decade, very, very unlikely.
However I picked out my favourites. Just four to stay reasonable. Freja (1-1) would have great pouting faceplates and I feel her outfit would translate well. Brigitte (1-3) I have wanted since her launch - give her to me! Give her one of her cats! She can have so many accessories including her mace and shield! Amélie (2-2) has a figma, but not a nendoroid, and this is diabolical because how else do I put her alongside Ashe in nendoroid form. Juno (2-5) is very popular, cute, and would sell like hotcakes outside of the fandom, and GSC could do some nendoroid magic and perhaps make her helmet attachable over most nendo faces and hairs and that alone would make her desirable I feel.
Square Enix have allowed what I always wanted - GSC to make figures of their characters. Alongside the statues of some protagonists, this also extends to an OG Warrior of Light and chocobo nendoroid, plus three announced FFXIV nendoroids that I fully expected to see sculpted at NA fanfest, and as we did not, perhaps during these two upcoming events...?
HOWEVER. I want an Alisaie (2-6). I need her to join the squad of teenage girls I love she's knight in shining armour coded. I also think Emet Selch (2-1) would be a gold mine in the way G'raha is, and that he would be a little bit ugly as a nendo and that's exactly why we should do it. So postured.
Serah (1-2) is because I want to have anything. She's a protagonist give her more!!!! Give her more!!!!!!! (yells)
I have Sakura, a tiny Kero, Tomoyo, and Syaoran together on one of my shelves, but they are missing Meiling (1-5). What gives. Where is she. A rubber strap placeholder will only cut it for me for so long.
The nendoroid surprise's gave me two of my favourite outfits as figures at last so now I pull out the movie outfits... the second movie outfit is probably my favourite of any Sakura has, I would honestly take any sort of figure for it.
This year is Shugo Chara's 20th anniversary and we've unexpectedly had a lot of love towards it. We even got Ikuto announced as a nendoroid this week damn. Amu was, back in the day, a perfect candidate for nendoroids with her transformations and I still feel that way so I once again hold out my hands for Amulet Diamond (1-4) as I did back then. If they do a surprise set I am DOOMED, again.
Utau (3-2), now Ikuto is confirmed and she has a scale, does feel like a matter of time before we get her.
They have run out of P5 phantom thieves nendoroids to make with Futaba (unless they do Akechi in his second outfit), and have done more recently Makoto and Aigis from P3, so I am quietly hoping we may get a Yukari (2-3). If we were to get more of SEES her and Mitsuru seem the most likely first.
Suu (2-4) is my forever wish, but not so out of left field as she once was, as the last few years have seen a lot of CLAMP protagonists get nendoroids. She would be so CUTE I need more characters with wings though they are a pain to set up.
Midna (3-3) and Rosalina (3-5) are... well, Rosalina feels decent if they go back to Mario nendoroids and we just had the Galaxy movie come out. Midna is more "she would be BEAUTIFUL and should have more than just ONE SCALE". I would also take imp Midna.
Azula (3-4) is me going alright you keep making ATLA nendoroids on and off I would like a girl please. Thank you.
Max (3-5) is me going alright Square it's time to lock in and give me Life is Strange figure merch after ten years. This is the least you can do for me. I also just think she'd have a cute amount of accessories and maybe possibly what if a hand holding piece for Chloe. I want OG Max though, not D9 fanfic Max. Very important.
