So, What is Nendoroid?

Nendoroid (ねんどろいど) is a brand of small plastic figures from the Japanese Good Smile Company, first released in 2006. Nendoroid figures are usually replicas of an anime or manga character and are commonly used as collectors items or toys.

"Nendo" is Japanese for clay or plasticine.

They are roughly 10 cm (4 in) in height, depending on the character they were made to look like. Normally they are made in a chibi or super deformed style, with a large head and smaller body to make them look cute.

Their faces and body parts are movable and interchangeable, giving them a range of different expressions, postures and items to hold.
