Sadako Nendoroid re-released for spooky season
As the autumn chill sets in and the shadows lengthen, the spooky season brings with it a unique kind of excitement—the urge to dive deep into the world of horror. And for many fans, there is no better way to embrace the season than by revisiting the legends, and perhaps nothing more iconic than the ghostly presence of Sadako.
The beloved character, Sadako from the classic film The Ring, has transcended the screen to become a fixture of pop culture merchandise. Now, the Good Smile Company is bringing this iconic figure back to the forefront with a highly anticipated re-release: the Sadako Nendoroid. This isn’t just a collectible; it’s a festive Halloween treat designed for horror aficionados, offering a charming yet eerie take on one of cinema’s most terrifying figures.
For those who collect, the opportunity to secure this chibi figure comes with some bonus details. Pre-orders are currently open for the Sadako Nendoroid, priced at $54.99, and will remain available until November 11th. What makes this release extra special is the inclusion of a bonus accessory: a ‘TV static’ screen, allowing collectors to authentically recreate those haunting scenes from the legendary 90s horror film.
Beyond the iconic face, the Nendoroid is packed with wonderfully detailed accessories that let collectors truly customize their spooky display. Fans can swap out the default expression for interchangeable face plates, including a grinning face and a more menacing, wide-eyed expression that captures Sadako’s true, chilling essence. Furthermore, the figure comes complete with a tiny plastic well for posing and incredibly detailed, rustic stone elements that allow for dynamic poses, making the figure feel like she is emerging from the depths.
Adding to the nostalgic charm are the tiny accessories, including a miniature VHS tape, which completes the atmosphere of the classic horror experience. While some manufacturers offer more elaborate set releases, the Good Smile Company manages to deliver a perfectly balanced package that is both cute and creepy.
For those eager to catch this release, note that while pre-orders are active now, the official US listing indicates a delivery window spanning from April 1 to June 30 of next year. This means the collectible won’t be available in time for this year’s Halloween festivities, though the demand suggests that resellers might still be eyeing these exclusive items.
If you are looking for other ways to inject some frightful fun into your collection, there are plenty of alternatives. For instance, if you prefer a more whimsical approach, there are countless other posable chibi figures available that span genres from gaming characters to beloved cartoon heroes. And for a truly unique take on the theme, some brands offer creative items that blend horror and everyday life, such as novelty figures designed to sit right on your ramen pot.
