Yu-Gi-Oh!’s Seto Kaiba Nendoroid Officially Returns Alongside New Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Good Smile Company is bringing one of Yu-Gi-Oh!’s most famous rival duelists back to its popular Nendoroid figure line, alongside the debut of his legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
The returning “Nendoroid Seto Kaiba” recreates the ambitious KaibaCorp president in his classic white coat and Duel Disk, while the new “Nendoroid Blue-Eyes White Dragon” introduces his signature monster to the series for the first time.
Originally introduced in Kazuki Takahashi’s Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, Seto Kaiba became one of the franchise’s most important characters through his intense rivalry with Yugi Muto and his determination to become the world’s greatest duelist.
As the wealthy president of KaibaCorp, Kaiba used his vast resources to develop advanced dueling technology, including the Duel Disk systems that allowed players to summon their monsters as enormous holographic projections.
However, his greatest obsession was always the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, a legendary monster with 3,000 ATK that became central to his identity and many of the anime’s most memorable battles.
Kaiba has remained a major presence in Yu-Gi-Oh!’s ongoing 30th anniversary celebrations, with Konami recently revealing ten new cards for an upcoming Seto Kaiba-themed OCG expansion, including powerful new interpretations of his Blue-Eyes monsters.

The approximately 10 cm tall figure recreates Kaiba’s sharp brown hairstyle, piercing blue eyes and long white coat, complete with its raised collar, purple lining and metallic details around the shoulders.
His black clothing, silver wrist guards and belt are also represented, preserving the appearance he wore throughout many of his most important duels.
Three interchangeable face plates allow Kaiba to be displayed with a confident smirk, a serious expression or his mouth wide open as he shouts during a duel.
The figure also includes his signature Duel Disk, complete with card slots, allowing him to be posed as though preparing to summon one of his powerful monsters.
Additional cards and interchangeable hand parts provide more display options, including poses inspired by Kaiba drawing cards or preparing his next move.
Another accessory recreates the card-shaped pendant associated with Kaiba and his younger brother Mokuba, referencing their relationship and the childhood experiences that shaped both characters.
Good Smile is also offering a special Blue-Eyes White Dragon background sheet with qualifying orders through its official sales channels, giving collectors a themed backdrop for displaying Kaiba.
The returning figure can be displayed alongside the separately sold Nendoroid of Yami Yugi, allowing fans to recreate the legendary rivalry between the two duelists.
Kaiba’s return also coincides with the arrival of his most famous monster, which was originally announced as an upcoming Nendoroid during Good Smile Fest 2026.
The “Nendoroid Blue-Eyes White Dragon” transforms the powerful Dragon-type monster into a miniature figure, retaining its enormous wings, long neck and armored body in the line’s signature oversized-head proportions.
Its accessories include interchangeable head parts and a Burst Stream of Destruction effect piece, allowing the dragon to be displayed unleashing its famous attack.
Kaiba can also be posed in front of three Blue-Eyes White Dragon Nendoroids, recreating the trio of legendary monsters that became central to his dueling strategy throughout the anime.
Fans hoping to recreate the complete display will however need to purchase three separate figures, making this a rather costly posing choice.
The new Blue-Eyes Nendoroid also comes with an exclusive acrylic block displaying the monster’s ATK and DEF values when ordered through selected official sales channels.
Pre-orders for the returning “Nendoroid Seto Kaiba”, priced at ¥7,400 (approximately $46 USD / £35 GBP), are now open through Good Smile Company’s official online store and KAIBA CORPORATION STORE ahead of its scheduled re-release in March 2027.
The new “Nendoroid Blue-Eyes White Dragon”, priced at ¥8,900 (approximately $56 USD / £42 GBP), is also available for pre-order ahead of its planned release in May 2027, with pre-orders through retailers such as HobbyLink Japan beginning on November 20, 2026.
