Delicious in Dungeon 101: A Collector's Guide to Dungeon Meshi Figures

Delicious in Dungeon has stayed relevant well past its Netflix debut, and Season 2 news out of Anime Expo 2026 just gave the franchise's figure lineup a fresh reason for new collectors to pay attention.

Based on Ryoko Kui's manga, the series follows Laios and his party eating their way through a dungeon's monsters as both a survival strategy and the show's central joke. That premise has translated into a genuinely varied figure lineup across several manufacturers.

Season 2 was confirmed for an October 2027 Netflix debut, with new character visuals for Falin, Kabru, Mithrun, and Thistle revealed in October 2026, right as this guide is being written.

If you're new to collecting for this franchise, here's where the lineup currently stands and how to start.

The Core Cast Driving the Merchandise

Laios, Marcille, Chilchuck, and Senshi make up the main party, and all four have multiple figure releases at this point. Falin, Laios's sister, has become a figure line of her own given her central role in the story's biggest plot turns.

Knowing these five names covers the overwhelming majority of what exists in the current figure lineup, since manufacturers have stuck closely to the main cast rather than branching into side characters.

Good Smile's Nendoroid Line

Good Smile Company has released Nendoroid figures for Senshi and Chilchuck, both built around the character's signature cooking and adventuring gear as swappable accessories.

Both figures have already seen a rerelease wave, which is a strong signal of sustained demand rather than a one-time launch spike that faded after the initial run sold out.

KDcolle's Dramatic Falin Moments

KADOKAWA's KDcolle line has taken a different approach, built around capturing specific dramatic story beats rather than standard character portraits. Its Gochisosama Falin, Chimera ver. figure recreates one of the manga's most talked-about transformation moments.

This figure released in March 2026 and has been available for a while now, making it a good entry point for new collectors who want a story-accurate centerpiece rather than a generic standing pose.

Good Smile's Pop Up Parade Line

Pop Up Parade has also covered the cast, including a Marcille figure that saw its own rerelease in February 2026 alongside a separate Swacchao! chibi-style variant.

Pop Up Parade generally sits at a lower price point than Nendoroid or KDcolle, making it a reasonable starting figure for anyone testing the waters before committing to a full-cast collection.

Why Season 2 News Matters for Collectors Right Now

New character designs revealed for Season 2 typically precede a fresh wave of figure announcements, since manufacturers tend to time new releases around renewed anime attention rather than between seasons.

With the October 2027 premiere still roughly a year out, this is a reasonable window to fill gaps in an existing collection before prices on older figures start climbing with renewed demand.

Building a Collection on a Budget

For a first purchase, Pop Up Parade's lower price point makes the most sense, with KDcolle's Falin Chimera figure as a stronger second pickup once you've confirmed you want to commit further.

Nendoroid figures are worth prioritizing specifically because Senshi and Chilchuck have already proven popular enough to rerelease, which isn't guaranteed for every character down the line. Whatever you buy first, a general acrylic display case is worth having on hand before the second or third figure arrives.

Other Manufacturers Worth Watching

Beyond Good Smile and KADOKAWA's KDcolle line, smaller goods makers have started producing acrylic stands and charms for the wider cast, including characters who still lack a standalone figure.

These smaller items are a reasonable way to represent a favorite side character while waiting for a full figure announcement that may or may not come.

Tracking New Announcements

Since manufacturer announcements for this franchise tend to come in waves tied to anime news cycles, it's worth checking in around major convention seasons rather than expecting a steady drip of new figures year-round.

Import retailer newsletters are generally a faster source for Delicious in Dungeon figure news than mainstream hobby press, which has historically been slower to cover this franchise compared to bigger shonen titles.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming every main character has a figure across every line.
  • Confusing KDcolle's dramatic story-moment figures with standard character portraits.
  • Overpaying for a figure that's actually mid-rerelease and still in stock.
  • Waiting for Season 2 to start before buying, when prices tend to rise first.
