Wuthering Waves now has its first two entries in Good Smile's Nendoroid line, and both characters were chosen carefully.
Jinhsi, the Magistrate of Jinzhou, and Changli, her counselor, arrive together as a matched pair rather than one figure followed by another later, which is a deliberate choice that mirrors how closely the two characters are tied together in the game's own story.
Each figure is built by Good Smile Arts Shanghai with the signature weapon and visual detail the characters are known for in-game, carrying over small design touches that longtime players will recognize immediately on the shelf and that newer fans will likely learn to appreciate over time.
Here is exactly what both figures include, what they cost in yen and US dollars, and when they are actually shipping worldwide.
Jinhsi and Changli were both unveiled during the Nendoroid FUNS 2026 Winter online presentation on February 5, 2026, marking Wuthering Waves' first appearance in the Nendoroid line.
Good Smile also showed updates on both figures again at WonderFest 2026 Winter, confirming the designs were progressing on schedule even as the eventual ship date moved later than early fan expectations, giving fans a clearer look at the finished paint and accessories before pre-orders opened.
Jinhsi's Nendoroid includes her Ages of Harvest sword as a signature accessory, along with alternate horn parts that swap in for a larger, more dramatic silhouette matching her in-game Resonance Liberation art.
An effect sheet depicting the enlarged horns ships alongside the figure, giving collectors a way to recreate one of her more striking combat poses on a shelf.
Changli's Nendoroid includes two face plates, a standard expression and a smiling expression with closed eyes, plus her Blazing Brilliance sword as the figure's primary weapon accessory.
The figure also includes a small perched carrier pigeon part that sits on her head, along with an effect sheet resembling her own Resonance Liberation animation.
Both figures are priced at 7,900 yen, or roughly 51.50 US dollars, through Good Smile's own storefront, with retailers like Kappa Hobby and Ninoma also carrying pre-orders.
Ordering directly through Good Smile also comes with a bonus illustration sheet, a common incentive for pre-ordering through the manufacturer rather than a secondary retailer.
Early coverage around the February reveal suggested a spring 2026 arrival, but that turned out to be optimistic once production moved forward.
Both figures actually debuted in Japan in September 2026, and North American distributor estimates now put worldwide arrival around November 2026, which lines up with where things stand as of this writing.
Jinhsi and Changli are tied together narratively in Wuthering Waves, which makes releasing them as a pair a natural choice rather than splitting them across separate waves.
It also gives new collectors a complete two-figure starting point for the franchise's Nendoroid line instead of a single character with no immediate pairing, and an EVORETRO 4-Step Acrylic Display Stand gives both figures their own tier right from the start.
Good Smile has run this exact playbook before, turning Genshin Impact characters like Kaeya into Nendoroids years after launch once a game's popularity justified the investment, and that earlier release took roughly four years from the character's in-game debut to an actual figure.
Wuthering Waves getting Nendoroid treatment this early in its lifespan suggests Good Smile sees the franchise growing quickly rather than waiting the several years it took for some of Genshin Impact's own characters to get the same treatment, which is a meaningfully faster turnaround for a newer gacha title.
A pair reveal like this one tends to sell through its initial pre-order run reasonably well, especially once the characters are confirmed as a narratively connected duo rather than standalone releases.
Collectors who miss the initial pre-order window should expect to pay above the 7,900 yen retail price on the secondary market, particularly for Changli given how closely her design ties into the game's current promotional art.

With worldwide shipping landing around now, it is worth having a case ready before either figure actually shows up. An EVORETRO Protective Case for Nendoroid keeps Jinhsi's horn parts and Changli's pigeon accessory from getting lost or scuffed.
