Good Smile Company to release Nendoroid of Shuichi Natori from Natsume’s Book of Friends
Good Smile Company has been announcing a batch of new additions to its Nendoroid line as part of an event dedicated to the cute and posable figures.
Fans of Natsume’s Book of Friends (Natsume Yujin-cho) will be delighted to hear that a Nendoroid of Shuichi Natori was revealed as part of the “NENDOROID FUNS” stream.
Natsume’s Book of Friends, known in Japan as Natsume Yujin-cho, is a widely recognized manga and anime series created by Yuki Midorikawa.
The story follows Takashi Natsume, an orphaned teenager who inherited the ability to see spirits (yokai) from his grandmother, along with her “Book of Friends,” a ledger containing the names of yokai she defeated and bound to her service.
Shuichi Natori is a significant character in the series, a well-known exorcist and actor who also possesses the ability to see yokai.
His complex relationship with Natsume and his distinct methods for dealing with spirits make him a compelling figure within the narrative.
Nendoroids are a series of small, articulated figures known for their “chibi” or “super deformed” aesthetic, characterized by oversized heads and expressive faces.
These figures are popular among collectors due to their interchangeable parts, which allow for various poses, expressions, and the recreation of iconic scenes from their respective series.
The addition of Shuichi Natori to the Nendoroid lineup indicates a recognition of his popularity and significance within the Natsume’s Book of Friends fandom.
While specific details such as accessories, pricing, and release dates for Nendoroid Shuichi Natori were not fully disclosed during the live stream, fans can expect more information to be revealed by Good Smile Company in the coming months.
This figure will allow enthusiasts to further expand their Natsume’s Book of Friends collection, offering a new portrayal of one of its key characters.
