Nendoroid (ねんどろいど) is a brand of small plastic figures from the Japanese Good Smile Company, first released in 2006. Nendoroid figures are usually replicas of an anime or manga
character and are commonly used as collectors items or toys. They are
roughly 10 cm (4 in) in height, depending on the character they were
made to look like. Normally they are made in a chibi or super deformed style, with a large head and smaller body to make them look cute.
Their faces and body parts are movable and interchangeable, giving them
a range of different expressions, postures and items to hold.
Nendoroid figures have been mostly made based on characters from anime and manga series like Sword Art Online, Squid Girl, Kannagi, Lucky Star, Death Note, K-ON!, Haruhi Suzumiya, Fate/stay night, Black Rock Shooter, Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai as well as characters from the synthesizer software Vocaloid along with games such as Touhou Project.
