As part of the SmileFest 2024 celebrations this week, there have been some new Nintendo and video game-themed Nendoroids (in general) revealed. The latest batch includes characters from series such as Kirby, Pikmin and even Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
First up we have the Bulborb from the Pikmin series. This enemy originally made his debut in the first Pikmin games and loves to eat Pikmin! There's no date on this new Nendoroid just yet, but when we get update, we'll let you know. For now, here's a look:

Next up we have two Kirby figures. First we have Kirby Cafe Ver. - as you can see it's the pink puff dressed up with a chef hat, a little bit of food on his face and a fork! Alongside this is Waddle Dee dressed up in a special cafe outfit.


And to add to this we've got a new Nendoroid version of Shadow the Hedgehog. As you can see, he can be displayed in a menacing pose, but like other figures in this line, you'll probably be able to display him in many other different ways. Here he is:

And in case you missed it, The Good Smile Company has also revealed its figma prototype of Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Adding to this, we've got our first look at Ganondorf in full colour.
See anything here you like? Let us know in the comments.

kirby. kirby. kirby.
Just curious.
What is the policy to include character from certain franchise become Nendoroid?
I really want to make my own Nendoroid with my character design the Chibi Boxer characters so people can see my cute Chibi Boxer characters in Nendoroid.
Until today, there is no Chibi six pack dudes Nendoroid from non popular franchise.
Oh gosh it’s Keanu er I mean shadow! I need it!
@Anti-Matter funny enough you can get blank parts like face and body and buy cloths for it while also panting it yourself. (I thinks that’s how they do it I’m not 100% sure on the method) custom nendoroids exist and you can definitely make one if you’re up for it.
@Snatcher
Never heard about custom blank Nendoroid.
I will check from Google image.
KIRBYYYYYYY
WADDDLEEEEE DEEEEEEE
Love to see more Nintendo and videogame Nendoroids (also Nendoroids in general, but those are expected), man how I wish I could find genuine ones at not ridiculously inflated prices here in Italy!
Would gladly take more Pop Up Parades (also Figma although those interest me less) as well, will keep an eye out for both when I go to a certain convention next month although I'm not sure what I'll be able to find and especially at a decent price as mentioned.
I love Nendoroids! I have to admit I’ve bought more knock offs than originals though (because of price and wanting to actually take them out of the box).
Also they make great gifts to family members who love games.
The Kirby Chef and Shadow look great.
“Pikmin”? “Kirby”? Sounds good to me!
That Bulborb is so silly. May have to pick that one up
No clue what these are but the bulborb is adorable
@NFrealinkling chibi-fied posable figurines that come with a multitude of different parts. Very good in terms of quality, but mileage varies depending on what's being converted (e.g. aniem characters get dimensions reduced). Kirby generally looks very good in the style because they're already a small character.
@DarkTron huh, looks cool!
When will we get a Peach nendoroid though?
Really wish Nintendo would establish some sort of deal with GSC to go all out with a Smash Bros line of figures. They could start small and focus on JUST the roster from the 64 version. And rather than sticking to any particular art style, they could just make modern versions of the characters and have them grouped into the Smash Bros series. I can picture a Figma Captain Falcon so clearly.
Where can you buy Nendoroids in the UK? Where's the cheapest place?
I never see them, just damn FUNKO pops everywhere.
Never heard of these before. Looked them up and wow.....people really pay $40+ for a little hunk of plastic? Why?
Does the Bulborb come with tiny pikmin?
For the Pikmin fans:
Did you hear the official Pikmin lalalala song?
A video was released on Nintendo of Americas youtube channel some hours ago:
