Nendoroid Kurimanju and Shisa Pre-Orders Open — Chiikawa's Fan Favourites Get Figures (Ships May 2027)

Chiikawa's drinking buddy and the super part-timer finally get Nendoroids — and Japan pre-orders are open from today.

According to Inside Games on 28 September 2026, and confirmed on the Good Smile Company official shop product pages, Max Factory has opened pre-orders for Nendoroid Kurimanju (くりまんじゅう) and Nendoroid Shisa (シーサー) from *Chiikawa*. The Good Smile window runs 28 September to 11 November 2026, with shipping due in May 2027 and a limit of three per person. Good Smile notes that pre-orders placed within the window at its official shop are guaranteed delivery.

Otaku Daily currently does not open orders for placing these Nendoroid figures. This article is about the Max Factory / Good Smile Nendoroids only — not the separate Kurimanju online kuji or other Kurimanju / Shisa merch already on shelves elsewhere. If you want a quote for either figure (or both as a pair), use Contact Us.

Specs: small shelf impact, big pose options

Both figures are painted, articulated, non-scale plastic Nendoroids about 70 mm tall to the top of the head, with stands. Magnets in the hands and feet make posing easier — a practical detail if you like sitting, standing and accessory-swap photos without fighting loose joints.

They are sold separately and designed to display together, which is the collector pitch: Kurimanju and Shisa already read as a pairing in the series, and the accessory sets lean into shared snack-and-drink energy rather than lone hero poses.

Nendoroid Kurimanju: faces, beer and salmon jerky

Kurimanju's face set covers smiling, "Haaa…" and hangover expressions. Accessories include a can of beer and salmon jerky (sake toba) — light character humour, not a novelty gag line for its own sake. The Haaa face with the beer can is the photo most fans will recognise first; the hangover face is the deeper-cut shelf joke.

Purchase bonuses from the Good Smile Company official shop and the Chiikawa official shop (the same bonus style at both) include a speech-line plate with stand, for example "ハーッ…" for Kurimanju. Inside Games coverage shows multiple plate variants around gulping and sighing lines, so the bonus is part of the display language rather than a random sticker.

Nendoroid Shisa: ramen, sake book and くやシーサー

Shisa's faces include smiling, open-mouth and "くやシーサー" (frustrated) expressions. Accessories include a ramen bowl and a book about sake. The open-mouth ramen pose is the cheerful counterweight to Kurimanju's beer can; the sake book ties the two figures into one snack table.

Shisa's speech-line bonus plates lean on the character's name puns — for example "うれシーサー" and "くやシーサー" — so the pair looks complete when both figures have plates behind them.

Not the Kurimanju online kuji

Keep this drop separate from lottery-style Kurimanju goods. These are standard Good Smile Nendoroid figure pre-orders with a long window to 11 November 2026 and a May 2027 ship estimate. If you already follow Chiikawa Nendoroids for the main trio, Kurimanju and Shisa are the natural next shelf row rather than a one-off capsule.

Building the Chiikawa Nendoroid shelf

Fans who already own Nendoroid Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi will notice how cleanly Kurimanju and Shisa slot into a second row. The shared base language, magnet limbs and speech-plate bonuses mean you can photograph the full five without mixing scales. If you are starting from zero, buying the pairing first still works — the accessories tell a complete snack-table story even without the main trio beside them.

For UK collectors, the long pre-order window to mid-November is the practical advantage. You do not need to refresh a Japan shop at dawn on day one; you do need a clear decision on whether you want one character or both before the May 2027 shipment window approaches.

Getting a quote in the UK

Otaku Daily currently does not open orders for placing these Nendoroid Kurimanju or Nendoroid Shisa figures. Other Kurimanju or Shisa merch on the shop — and any Kurimanju kuji listings — are not these figures, so please do not treat those pages as substitutes. If you would like a quote for one or both Nendoroids, message us via Contact Us and name the character (or the pair).

While you wait, browse our Chiikawa collection for other Chiikawa goods already listed, or the in-stock collection for pieces ready to ship sooner.

Who these Nendoroids are for

• Pairing collectors who want Kurimanju and Shisa on the same shelf row
• Accessory fans who care about beer / jerky / ramen / sake-book parts as much as the faces
• Speech-plate collectors chasing the Good Smile / Chiikawa shop purchase bonuses
• UK fans who prefer a Contact Us quote over watching a long Japan pre-order window alone

If you only buy one, pick the character you quote more often in chats; if you have room for two, the set is clearly built to sit together.
