Pre-orders open for Nendoroid of Blue Lock’s Sae Itoshi as Rin gets a re-release
Pre-orders have opened for a new Nendoroid figure of Sae Itoshi from the popular soccer anime Blue Lock.
The new Sae Itoshi Nendoroid will be launching alongside a re-release of the previously sold-out Nendoroid of his younger brother, Rin Itoshi.
Nendoroids are a popular line of chibi-style, posable figures known for including a variety of interchangeable parts, with the male-character-focused “Orange Rouge” sub-brand currently celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Blue Lock is a hugely popular series that focuses on a group of “egoist” strikers competing to become Japan’s best.
The Itoshi brothers, Sae and Rin, are prodigal soccer players whose intense and fractured sibling rivalry is a central part of the story.
This new figure of the elder brother, Sae Itoshi, comes with three different face plates: a “calm face,” an “intimidating face,” and a “composed face.”
His optional parts include a soccer ball and a cup of “kobu-cha,” or kelp tea.
The re-released figure of the younger brother, Rin Itoshi, comes with three face plates: a “composed face,” an “intimidating face,” and an “irritated face.”
His accessories include a soccer ball and a bowl of his favorite food, “ochazuke,” which is tea poured over rice.
The two figures are designed to be displayed together, allowing fans to recreate the intense dynamic between the two rival siblings.
The “Nendoroid Rin Itoshi” is priced at ¥6,800 (approx. $46 USD/£34 GBP) and is scheduled to ship in December 2025.
The “Nendoroid Sae Itoshi” is priced at ¥6,900 (approx. $47 USD/£35 GBP) and is scheduled to ship in February 2026.
The pre-order period for both figures is currently open via the Good Smile Company online store and will run until the 8th of October, 2025.
