Sadako Nendoroid Comes with Her TV and Well

Good Smile Company announced a new horror icon figure, as a Sadako Nendoroid is on the way. The figure will show up in July 2023 in Japan. Then, a few months later she’ll make her North American debut in September 2023. Pre-orders for the character are open, and she costs ¥7,800/$51.99. Sadako will come with her familiar well and TV, so new owners can set up scenes.

First, here’s how the Sadako Nendoroid looks when standing. She’s wearing her trademark white dress.

You can pose her so it looks like she’s rising out of her well.

With the TV, the Sadako figure an be arranged so it looks as though she is pulling herself out of it. Rather than a plastic figure, this is a sheet that people can put the Nendoroid through.

There are also two face plates included with the Sadako Nendoroid, even though her hair almost entirely covers her face. A second “bangs” place allows one of her eyes to be exposed. One option features a frantic, bloodshot eye peeking out.

In the final example photo, a happy(?) Sadako seems to be offering her new owner her VHS tape to watch.

Good Smile Company also announced a special purchase bonus if people buy the figure direct from its storefront. People will get a second “TV” option that makes it look like static is on the screen.

Sadako has been quite busy lately. She got her own YouTube channel when 2022 began, and she started offering taxi rides in Tokyo in October 2022.

The Sadako Nendoroid will come to Japan in July 2023 and North America in September 2023, and pre-orders for the figure are open until December 1, 2022.
