A new Chobits figure is on the way, and it marks the first time Chi will be available in Nendoroid form. Good Smile Company announced it will show up in July 2023 in Japan for ¥7,500. In September 2023, it will show up in North America for $54.99. Among her accessories will be a book Chi often reads in Chobits.
Chi comes with three face plates total. One is a neutral expression, a second features her with closed eyes, and the third is her smiling. She has a pair of underwear she can wear as a hat, as a nod to one of the early scenes in the series. She also comes with a spare body and pillow to sit on and a copy of A City with No People to carry.
Here are Good Smile Company’s photos showing off Chi.
There’s also a Tokyo Otaku Mode exclusive bonus that gives Chi a second book from Chobits. If someone goes through the company, she’ll also get a copy of My Only Person to hold. Note that while it is $54.99 through Good Smile Company, Tokyo Otaku Mode is charging $59.99.
The Chobits Chi Nendoroid will come to Japan in July 2023, with the figure heading to North America in September 2023. Pre-orders close on March 2, 2023. The Chobits manga is available in English via Kodansha, with the anime streaming on Crunchyroll.
