Good Smile Kirby's Dream Land: Kirby Nendoroid Action Figure

Product Information

There’s a fireball part that comes with a small, clear plastic swivel-lever: one part attaches to the fireball and the other to the stand, so you can make it look like Kirby’s spitting fire. Nendoroid Kirby and Nendoroid Ice Kirby are being rereleased at the same time as Waddle Dee's release, so be sure to get them all, and have fun recreating Dream Land in your own collection!

There have been some exceptions — Sonic the Hedgehog and Jack Frost Nendoroids exist — but even they follow a vaguely human shape. Almost everything about the Kirby nendoroid involves magnetic attachments, which is an absolute genius move of engineering on the parts of the figure designers. As a special bonus, Nendoroid Ice Kirby will also include a new additional sleeping face plate for Nendoroid Kirby! Nendoroids have always been rather iffy in the poseability department due to the small, stubby nature of the limbs and the tiny pegs everything has to sit in. The versatility of the figure, combined with a nice selection of accessories and faces and a solid-feeling craftsmanship, makes for one of the best Nendoroids I’ve yet encountered.Overall, this is a stellar product – well-made, easy and fun to play around with, accurate to the property it’s representing, and incredibly well engineered. I think there’s a magnet in it, but it seems placed a little too high up to form a proper attachment with the body, so the hat has an unfortunate tendency to slide a bit when you’re trying to put it on. It also comes with parts that let you display Kirby using the Copy Abilities ‘Sword’, ‘Fire’ and ‘Star Rod’.

Even the box (which I stupidly put into storage before taking pictures) shows how much care was put into this: the inside insert is a diorama with a Kirby-themed background and enemy characters. The original Nendoroid Kirby is also being rereleased at the same time as Ice Kirby's release, and owning both of them allows for even more fun display opportunities. This system is very common in the figure collection industry due to the limited number of units available.Kirby, however, is a malleable, amorphous puffball, whose arms and legs seem to just sprout from his mass rather than be connected to a particular joint.

The limbs sit flush with the body, too, so you don’t wind up with any conspicuous, awkward-looking gaps between parts. I’ve seen people do some really creative stuff with him, including amateur stop motion animation bits. Enjoy displaying him with Nendoroid Kirby and Nendoroid Ice Kirby, and have fun recreating Dream Land in your own collection!

I figured we should start with the smaller one first — not only did it turn out to be the better piece overall, it’s also one of Nintendo’s most beloved characters, with a new game due out just a few months from now.
