Helltaker Cerberus Nendoroid is Available Alone or in a Trio

When it comes to getting a Helltaker Cerberus Nendoroid, Good Smile Company announced two options. One is to get a single Nendoroid of the character, represented in game by three identical triplets sharing a one soul. The other is to get a set of three identical figures. One costs ¥7,800/$54.99. The set of three costs ¥23,000/$159.99. Both options will appear in May 2023 in Japan and July 2023 in North America.

The Cerberus teaser art first appeared in February 2022, alongside details about Lucifer, Justice, and Modeus figures. At WonHobby G 2022 Autumn, her smiling face plate and pose with heart speech bubble showed up. The final figure comes with the smiling face plate, one in which she's scheming, and a third that seems worried. She also comes with extra hand and arm parts.

Here's a closer look at the Helltaker Cerberus Nendoroid in Good Smile Company's official photos.

If people pre-order one of this figure from Good Smile Company, they get a postcard showing art of her.

The set of three also includes a special bonus from the official store. In addition to the postcard, people will get three red, translucent bases and one additional smiling face plate that makes it look like the character is looking left.

Chun-Li Nendoroid Can Perform a Kikoken or Hundred Lightning Kicks

The Street Fighter Chun-Li Nendoroid will enter the ring in 2023, and Good Smile Company shared its accessories. She will come with extra face plates and effect and body parts to recreate notable attacks. It will show up in June 2023 in Japan. Then, a North American release will follow in August 2023. She'll cost ¥8,400 /$58.99.

There are three face plates with this Nendoroid. In one, Chun-Li is stoic. Another features her yawning. The third is smiling and resembles one of her win poses. (There's even a peace sign hand part.) As for the attacks, she can be posed so she looks like she is performing a Kikoken or the Hundred Lightning Kicks.

Here's a closer look at the Chun-Li Nendoroid.

The Street Fighter Chun-Li Nendoroid will come to Japan in June 2023, and the figure will appear in North America in August 2023. Pre-orders are open until February 2, 2023.
