New Nendoroid Boxes Set to Replace Old Designs in 2024

Tokyo, Japan – November 3, 2024 — Good Smile Company, renowned for its beloved Nendoroid collectible figures, has announced a major change in packaging that will soon replace its classic box design. The shift, confirmed at this year’s Tokyo Toy Fair, comes as part of the company’s sustainability initiatives and commitment to enhancing customer experience.

The new packaging design aims to reduce waste, using eco-friendly materials that lower the environmental impact of production and shipping. Featuring a more compact and minimalist look, the revamped boxes still display the familiar branding that Nendoroid fans know and love, while promising increased durability and a more standardized size across future product lines. In addition, the smaller boxes should reduce shipping costs and shelf space requirements for collectors.

Good Smile Company also highlighted that the updated packaging will include improved interior compartments for safely storing small parts and accessories. The redesign maintains the same level of attention to detail and protection that Nendoroid collectors expect but now ensures a more streamlined unboxing experience.

The company plans a gradual rollout of the new boxes, starting with upcoming releases in early 2024. According to Good Smile representatives, this packaging shift will eventually apply to all future Nendoroid figures, though previously released products will retain the original box style.

Collectors and fans have shared mixed reactions online, with some welcoming the sustainable approach while others express nostalgia for the classic design. Good Smile has assured fans that the new packaging aligns with feedback from the collector community, balancing modern needs with the brand’s distinctive charm.

As the toy and collectibles industry increasingly prioritizes eco-friendly practices, Good Smile Company’s move could set a new standard.
