Nendoroid Garfield Looks Like He Hates Mondays

Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for the Garfield Nendoroid, and the nature of the face and eye parts for face plates allows people to mix and match items for more varied expressions. Pre-orders opened at the official storefront for ￥7,700 (~$49), and it will debut in Japan in September 2025. AmiAmi is charging $43.93 and Big Bad Toy Store has it for $59.99.

We first learned that this Nendoroid was happening back in May 2024. At the time, there was no concept art or prototype yet. Unlike many Nendoroids, it uses a system that doesn’t involve typical face plates. You get eyes that are wide open in shock, neutral ones, and more menacing ones. The three mouth parts are stoic, smiling, and smiling with teeth showing. These can be combined in different ways in the face plate for more customizable expressions. 

In addition, other elements are designed to aid in customization. The legs can be positioned to have Garfield standing or sitting. A second tail part is included for different poses. He also comes with a TV remote, lasagna, and a coffee cup he can all hold.

Here are some possible poses from official photos:

There is also an official photo Good Smile Company shared that suggested many of the different expressions we can put together by combining the eye and mouth parts on the face plate. Here the nine possibilities:

The Garfield Nendoroid will appear in Japan in September 2025, and it could take until January 2026 to appear worldwide. Pre-orders are open until February 12, 2025.
