HYDE Nendoroid opens for pre-order via Good Smile Company

Good Smile Company has opened pre-orders for a new Nendoroid figure of HYDE, bringing the L’Arc-en-Ciel and VAMPS frontman into the long-running chibi figure line.

The figure was first revealed on February 5th during GOOD SMILE’s winter Nendoroid showcase on YouTube. Pre-orders began on February 27th and will run until March 25th.

Standing at approximately 100mm tall, the figure recreates HYDE’s HYDE [INSIDE] era stage attire from the tour that ran through 2024 and into 2025, complete with three interchangeable facial expressions, a microphone, hat and sunglasses.

Two store-exclusive Nendoroid Plus acrylic stands are available, with different designs offered through the Good Smile Company Online Store and the VAMPROSE STORE, the latter available exclusively to HYDEIST fan club members.

Launched in 2006, the Nendoroid line is one of Good Smile Company’s flagship figure series, known for its chibi proportions and interchangeable expressions. The range has since expanded beyond anime and gaming characters to include musicians and international franchises.

On January 29th, HYDE celebrated his 57th birthday on stage at Tokyo Garden Theatre as part of the HYDE Orchestra Tour 2026 JEKYLL. The show featured an encore appearance from YOSHIKI for their 2018 single ‘Red Swan’, with the tour continuing across Japan before heading to Vienna’s Wiener Konzerthaus in May.

Priced at ¥8,000, the HYDE Nendoroid is scheduled to ship in August 2026, with purchases limited to three per person via the Good Smile Company Online Store and select partner retailers such as CDJapan.
