Good Smile Company streamed its 'Nendoroid FUNS Good Smile Fest 2026' on June 4, 2026, unveiling a wide range of new Nendoroid figures. The event showcased colored samples and prototypes for numerous upcoming releases. Highlights included a 2.0 version of Mio Akiyama from 'K-On!', Saber in casual wear from 'Fate/stay night', and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon from 'Yu-Gi-Oh!'. Vocaloid characters such as Neru Akita and Haku Yowane also received new Nendoroid forms. Newly announced figures span multiple franchises: from 'Final Fantasy XIV', characters Alphinaud, Yotsuyu, and Emet-Selch were confirmed; from 'Goddess of Victory: NIKKE', Velvet; and from 'Danganronpa 1·2 Reload', Celestia Ludenberg. The 'Super Kaguya-hime!' series added Kaguya, Sakayori Iroha, and Tsukimi Yachiyo. Other reveals included Femto from 'Berserk', Godzilla (2023) from 'Godzilla Minus One', and Magolor from 'Kirby of the Stars'. The 'Nendoroid Surprise' blind-box line will feature sets for 'Blue Archive', 'The Apothecary Diaries', and 'Natsume's Book of Friends'. Pre-orders opened for several items immediately after the stream.
The June 4 stream, hosted on Good Smile Company's official YouTube channel, served as a major product showcase for the second half of 2026. Among the most anticipated reveals was the Mio Akiyama 2.0 figure, updating the 'K-On!' bassist after over a decade. The Saber Casual Wear Ver. offers a rare non-armored look for the 'Fate' heroine. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon Nendoroid marks a significant departure from humanoid figures, adapting the iconic 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' monster into the chibi style.
Vocaloid fans saw multiple new entries: Hatsune Miku Mesmerizer Ver., Kasane Teto Mesmerizer Ver., and a Symphony 10th Anniversary Ver. were shown alongside Neru Akita and Haku Yowane. The 'Final Fantasy XIV' lineup grew substantially with Alphinaud, Yotsuyu, Emet-Selch, and Haurchefant all announced. 'Blue Archive' received both a standard Hoshino (Battle) figure and a Nendoroid Surprise set. The 'Nendoroid Surprise' blind-box format also expands to 'The Apothecary Diaries' and 'Natsume's Book of Friends'. Other notable reveals include Femto from 'Berserk', Godzilla (2023) and Godzilla (2016) 2nd Form, Gamera (1996), and Celestia Ludenberg from 'Danganronpa'. Pre-orders for several items began immediately after the stream ended.
