Chikawa Nendoroid
First off is the ever-earnest Chikawa, who is set to captivate hearts again. This figure, with a height of about 70mm, allows for easy posing thanks to the use of magnets in its arms and legs, ensuring a natural look in any stance. Showcasing multiple facial expressions, collectors can choose from a cheerful smile, a delightful grinning face, or even a tearful expression, enhancing the emotional portrayal of this character.
Included in the set is a dedicated base, providing the perfect support needed for display. Chikawa's signature accessory, the 'sasumata,' along with a small shoulder pouch, adds more fun to the figure, making it a must-have for any fan. The figure is priced at 5,800 yen (tax included), with its release slated for May 2026.
Hachiwale Nendoroid
Next, we have Hachiwale, Chikawa's loyal friend, stepping into the spotlight. This Nendoroid features the same magnetic joints for seamless posing and also includes various facial expressions, such as a confident smile, an endearing grin, or a surprised face. The set comes with additional accessories like the 'sasumata' and a camera, providing fans with the opportunity to recreate their favorite scenes.
Hachiwale’s unique charm lies in its personality, and every detail of this Nendoroid has been meticulously crafted to bring that to life, making it an essential piece for collectors. It is also priced at 5,800 yen (tax included) and will be available alongside Chikawa in May 2026.
Usagi Nendoroid
Last but not least is Usagi, another friend from the 'Chikawa' universe. With just like its companions, Usagi features magnetic limbs for flexible posing and a variety of expressions, including a joyful smile, a confused expression, and a humorous wide-eyed look. Accessories such as the 'Tōbatsu-bō,' swinging arms piece, and combination arms for dynamic displays add versatility to this charming figure.
