New and upgraded Nendoroid of Danganronpa’s Monokuma includes a light-up eye feature
Pre-orders have opened for a new, upgraded “2.0” version of the Nendoroid figure of Monokuma, the infamous headmaster of Hope’s Peak Academy.
The new product is based on the character’s appearance in the popular high-speed mystery game, Danganronpa 1•2 Reload.
Nendoroids are a popular line of chibi-style, posable figures known for including a variety of interchangeable parts.
This new “Nendoroid Monokuma 2.0” is a fully articulated, 10cm tall figure that comes with a variety of accessories to recreate his “punishment time” poses.
The set includes two different face plates: a “smiling face” and a “laughing face.”
Key optional parts are also included, such as his signature “hammer” and the dreaded “punishment button.”
A special gimmick is also featured in this release.
The figure comes with alternate eye parts that are designed to hold an LED light (“Molite 316R,” sold separately), allowing fans to replicate his glowing red eye.
An exclusive bonus item is also being offered for customers who pre-order the Nendoroid directly from the official Good Smile Company online shop.
Those who purchase from the official store will receive a “Special Nendoroid Base” as a gift.
Pre-orders for the “Nendoroid Monokuma 2.0” began on Friday, the 24th of October, via the official Good Smile Company online store.
The pre-order window is scheduled to run until the 3rd of December.
The figure is priced at ¥6,800 (approx. $46 USD / £37 GBP) and is scheduled to be shipped to customers in June of 2026.
