It's hard not to love Nendoroids. They're the equivalent of a cuddly husky puppy, all fluffy fur and cheeky dog grins; cute little video game figurines with interchangeable items and outfits? Where do we sign up!
The downside is that they can be relatively pricey. Earlier this Summer Mega Man and Kirby Nendoroids featured at Wonder Festival 2015, and the aptly named GOODSMILE has put them up for pre-order, with shipping in January.
First up is Kirby, who costs ¥4,500 (about $37.50 / €33.30 / £24.50), who comes with a Maxim Tomato pre-order bonus.
Then there's Mega Man, a little pricier at ¥4,800 (about ¥), who comes with a 'Death Effect Plate' as a pre-order bonus.
GOODSMILE has a standard ¥2,000 shipping charge, so you can add roughly $16.70 / €14.80 / £10.90 to any order.
Of course, those links and prices are for the official store, so you can certainly browse around and try your luck with other retailers.
Are you tempted to splash out on either of these?
Thanks to JaxonH for the heads up.

Why do these have to be so expensive!? They look so amazing!
Every time I see these or stuff like it, I want them... but I can never justify the price tag.
I caved and pre-ordered Kirby. You win this round, Japan!
Not a fan of the Mega Man ones since he looks a little odd to me, but I love the Kirby ones. I may just have to get them.
Sorta want the kirby but I'll stick with the amiibo...at least that does something.
These will be perfect for my Smash Bros display shelf. I can get rid of that old D-Arts Mega Man too.
Good Smile is definitely pricy, but you can get them elsewhere for around $29 each- of course that's not including shipping but neither is this.
And for the record, the Mega Man does look a little odd to me too, even as a Nendoroid. But it's Mega Man, and a few of the poses look decent.
Only one we're waiting on now is Marth.
Nendoroid figures always look fantastic. My wallet is kinda glad that there's no retailers near me (that I know of) that sell these.
"a little pricier at ¥4,800 (about ¥)" ?
I don't get why people say these are so pricy. i preordered the Kirby one, from amiami for £25 (inc. shipping) If anything, amiibos are way more pricey imo.
Nendoroids, huh? Sounds like something there's a topical gel for...
Whoever named these didn't do the line any favors regardless of their quality or intrinsic appeal.
Not a huge fan of the Mega Man one, but I'd definitely pick up that Fire Kirby if I wasn't already saving my money for other stuff.
Caved in and bought a Kirby. Magnetized Kirby is best Kirby.
Easy to resist.
BUT I don't know what I'd do if I saw an inkling...SPLATOON!!!
ouch, ouch, SPLATOON!!!!!!
AUGG.....MY NOSE.
@JaxonH
Same here man! I am very tempted by Kirby, but Marth is a no brainer. So, do you have any idea when the Lucina Figma is going to be released? August has come and gone, and I cannot find any information on it online.
@Bat-Moves98
It released 2 days ago actually. They're not available anywhere but eBay anymore. You had to preorder way in advance. Although the day of release, they went on sale at Otaku Mode. If you want one though, I do have an extra coming from eBay (I ordered there before they went on sale at Otaku). If you wanna buy that one you can have it for what I paid, which was a pretty good price actually- just $5 more than what Otaku Mode sold them for.
I preordered a Kirby. Does he even have articulation? Or just parts? Not that the ones "with" articulation have much.
If I had owned Mega Man Powered Up I'd be all over that Mega Man.
@JaxonH
Appreciate it man, but I actually pre-ordered one already from Crunchyroll. No idea why I have not received any notification yet.
@JaxonH
I might take you up on that, if my order ends up being cancelled for whatever reason.
Nice.
