Nendoroid

The Nendoroid (ねんどろいど, Nendoroido) series is a brand of plastic figures created by the Japanese Good Smile Company since 2006.

They typically depict characters from anime, manga or video games and are designed with a large head and smaller body to give them a cute appearance.

[2] The reason for this collective name was that too many people worked simultaneously on a single Nendoroid, making it difficult to credit them all.

The planning and production of a single figure is done by over ten people on the Good Smile Company team.

They are designed in a chibi style, also known as "super deformed", with a large head and smaller body to give them a cute appearance.

[7] Nendoroid figures have mostly been based on female characters from anime, manga or video games series such as Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Steins;Gate, K-ON!, Haruhi Suzumiya, Cardcaptor Sakura, Fate/stay night, Vocaloid, etc.

However, in recent years, the line has begun including characters from various Disney properties, as well as the Star Wars franchise and American superhero movies like Iron Man 3, Wonder Woman, Thor: Ragnarok, Justice League, Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War.

The Nendoroid More (ねんどろいどもあ) series was designed as a project by the new university graduates that joined Good Smile Company in 2012.

Unlike standard Nendoroids, these figures do not include interchangeable face plates or additional parts, a design choice that reduces production costs and shortens manufacturing times.

The game features Nendoroid versions of characters from Steins;Gate, Black Rock Shooter, Haruhi Suzumiya, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Zero no Tsukaima, Dog Days, Fate/stay night, and Touhou Project, as well as Good Smile Company's mascot character, Gumako.
