As part of the Good Smile Fest 2026 figure reveals, Good Smile Company announced Hideo Kojima will be the next real-life individual to become a Nendoroid. A release date wasn’t mentioned. However, he did appear in the painted prototype phase, so it is very likely pre-orders will open in the next few weeks. This follows announcements of similar treatments of notable figures like the Masaki Nozawa or Stan Lee ones.
Here’s the first photo of the painted prototype. In it, he’ll wear a black t-shirt with the Kojima Productions Ludens mascot on it.
The Hideo Kojima figure also appeared alongside a confirmation that a Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Sam Porter Bridges figma is in development. That’s so early on that there’s no concept art or prototype. Only official art of the character from the game appeared.
It isn’t too uncommon for real-world people to get turned into Nendoroid figures. In addition to the Goku in Dragon Ball and Kitaro in Gegege no Kitaro voice actress, we saw ones of actors like Bruce Lee, singers like the members of BTS or Hyde, and Kamui Kobayashi.
The Hideo Kojima Nendoroid and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Sam Porter Bridges figma figure are both in development. The second Death Stranding game is on the PS5 and PC.
