Kingdom without a doubt is a reigning champion of Shonen manga genre. But due to lack of its marketability, the series never get much merchandise until now. But with the upcoming new anime season for Kingdom, the Japanese hobby manufacturers consider to chip in with this series once again including Goodsmile Company. Out of many Kingdom major characters, Goodsmile picked Kyokai the flower vice commander of Hi Shin Unit as their first Kingdom Nendoroid, Scheduled for February 2026, Nendoroid Kyokai will be sold for 6900 Yen SRP.
For Kingdom series, I would have thought Shin would be the prime candidate to be the first recipient for Nendoroid treatment. But in the end it turns out to be Kyokai which turns out to be fine nonetheless. Kyokai is a fencer from a legendary tribe who were known for ungodly swordsmanship during their tranced mode. Kyokai served as one of the early member of Hi Shin unit in her quest of vengeance for the killer of her elder sister but eventually formed attachment with this army which will cement its legendary in the Warring states era and become the valued member. At the current point of Kingdom's story, Shin and Kyokai had developed very close bond and fans like myself look forward to the moment where the relations fully bloomed.
Given that Banpresto getting its share of Kingdom prize figure, I wouldn't be surprised if we will be getting SHF treatment for Shin and Kyokai.
