Good Smile has officially revealed the Baldur’s Gate III Shadowheart Nendoroid and opened pre-orders today, following months of anticipation after fan voting selected her as the next companion to get the chibi figure treatment. She’s the second Baldur’s Gate 3 character to join the Nendoroid line after Astarion, who launched earlier in 2026, and pre-orders are now live through September 1, 2026 at $43.99. She’s expected to ship between July and September 2027 worldwide, with a Japan release set for February 2027.
What Is a Nendoroid?
For anyone new to Good Smile’s Nendoroid line, these are small articulated figures that stand around 3.94 inches (100mm) tall in a deliberately stylized “chibi” aesthetic — oversized heads, compact bodies, expressive faces. They’re not scale figures meant to sit on a shelf and look accurate; they’re poseable display pieces with swappable parts that let you recreate moments from the source material or set up your own compositions. The articulation and accessory variety are what make them compelling beyond their immediate visual appeal.
Nendoroids have a long history with RPG and gaming properties. The Baldur’s Gate 3 line is Good Smile’s first venture into that title specifically, and based on how fast the Astarion figure sold, demand for Shadowheart was always going to be high.
Shadowheart Nendoroid: Full Contents Breakdown
Good Smile has fully revealed what comes in the box, and it’s a strong accessory package:
- Three swappable faceplates: Serious expression, smiling face, and a glaring scowl
- Selûne’s Spear of Night — her iconic weapon, fully detailed for posing
- The Mysterious Artefact — the Astral Prism she carries throughout the game’s first act
- “Shadowheart Disapproves.” effect sheet — a decorative card replicating the in-game approval notification, attachable to the figure’s stand for the full disapproval experience
- Additional posing parts for holding and interacting with the included accessories
Shadowheart appears as she does at the game’s opening — her classic dark look before any major story choices alter her appearance. The design is immediately recognizable to anyone who’s played the game, and the three-faceplate spread covers the full range of Shadowheart moods that BG3 veterans will know all too well.
Pre-Order Details and Exclusive Bonus
Pre-orders are live now on the Good Smile US store and will remain open until September 1, 2026. The figure is priced at $43.99, matching the Astarion Nendoroid exactly.
Customers who order directly through the Good Smile store receive an exclusive bonus: a Gauntlet of Shar background sheet that Shadowheart can be posed in front of. It’s a subtle but meaningful extra for fans of her storyline — the Gauntlet of Shar is where some of the most significant moments in Shadowheart’s personal arc take place, making it the obvious thematic choice for a diorama backdrop.
Estimated ship window is July 1 – September 30, 2027 for worldwide orders. Japan receives the figure in February 2027.
What’s Coming Next: Camp Clothes Astarion and Selunite Shadowheart
Good Smile also teased two more figures in development alongside the Shadowheart announcement, both of which are alternate-version Nendoroids of the same two characters:
Astarion: Camp Clothes Version
The Camp Clothes version of Astarion has already reached the painted prototype stage, which means a pre-order announcement is likely coming relatively soon. Good Smile shared a single image showing the figure, which appears to include a bottle as one of its accessories — appropriately on-brand for Astarion. No release date or price has been confirmed yet, but given how far along the prototype is, it could realistically open for pre-orders before the end of 2026.
Shadowheart: Selunite Version
The alternate Shadowheart — based on her later-game appearance following the major story choices tied to her Selunite path — is significantly earlier in development. Good Smile hasn’t shared any artwork yet, describing it only as still being worked on. The Selunite Shadowheart wishlist page is live on Good Smile US for fans who want to be notified when pre-orders eventually open. Pricing for both alternate versions is unconfirmed, though matching the $43.99 of the first two figures seems the most likely outcome.
Where Baldur’s Gate 3 Merchandise Stands in 2026
The Nendoroid line exists within a broader wave of Baldur’s Gate 3 merchandise and expanded universe content that’s emerged since the game’s record-breaking 2023 launch. Beyond figures, the franchise has been extended through a prequel novel focused on Astarion’s life before the events of the game, and an HBO TV series sequel is in development — though casting details and concerns about who will take on the roles of beloved companions have been a consistent topic of fan discussion.
With Larian Studios having moved on to their next original project, Baldur’s Gate 4 currently has no confirmed developer. That reality makes the merchandise pipeline — figures, books, television — the primary way the BG3 universe is staying active for fans in the medium term. Good Smile clearly sees sustained commercial interest in the property, and the four-figure roadmap they’ve now teased (standard Astarion, standard Shadowheart, Camp Clothes Astarion, Selunite Shadowheart) reflects that confidence.
