One of gaming's most recognizable creators is getting the Nendoroid treatment. Confirmed via Good Smile Company's official announcement at Good Smile Fest 2026 and reported by Anime News Network and Toy People, Nendoroid Hideo Kojima releases December 2026, priced at 6,500 yen (tax included).

This is a confirmed reveal with locked pricing, so here's what's included.

What's Confirmed About Nendoroid Hideo Kojima

Good Smile Company's official announcement, as reported by Anime News Network, confirms the following:

  • Announced during the Nendoroid FUNS (Good Smile Fest 2026) broadcast on June 4, 2026
  • Release date: December 2026
  • Price: 6,500 yen (tax included)
  • Stands approximately 10 cm tall
  • Includes three interchangeable face plates: "serious face," "smiling face," and "focused face"
  • Includes swappable black-rimmed glasses and sunglasses, various hand parts, and a "Ludens Duck" accessory
  • The "Kojima Productions" logo on his T-shirt is reproduced via transfer printing

Why This Figure Stands Out

Real-life individuals rarely receive Nendoroid treatment, making Kojima's inclusion a genuinely notable addition to the line, distinct from the character-based figures Good Smile typically produces.

The Ludens Duck Detail

Including the Ludens Duck, a mascot closely associated with Kojima Productions' branding, ties the figure directly to his studio identity rather than presenting a generic likeness figure.

Planning for a December Arrival

With a firm release month and price already confirmed, collectors have several months to plan a preorder ahead of the December window.

For this compact Nendoroid scale, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the multiple face plates and glasses accessories organized and protected.

For a raised display among other Nendoroid figures, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds shelf presence.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Assuming this is a character figure rather than a real-life individual likeness
  • Missing the swappable glasses options among the included accessories
  • Losing track of the small Ludens Duck accessory during storage
  • Leaving a small-scale Nendoroid without a proper display case

Final Thoughts

Nendoroid Hideo Kojima gives collectors a rare real-life figure tied directly to one of gaming's most recognizable creators, with genuine studio-branded detailing. With a confirmed December window, it's worth planning a preorder now.
