Rozen Maiden is not exactly popular series as it used to given the decline of Japan Pop Culture industry, but it doesn't mean that GSC can't make any merchandise this once beloved series. Given how old the first iteration is, Goodsmile decide to give Shinku a Nendoroid 2.0 treatment! As expected, this one cost much more compared to the past series due to present economic circumstances of Japan but still have its share of merit. Scheduled for March 2026 release, Nendoroid Shinku will be sold in 2 versions; Regular for 7500 Yen and 13000 Yen for Deluxe.
Compared to the first incarnation of Nendoroid Shinku, the present iteration appears to cost three times more than the original version for some reason but there can be some justification on it. Given GSC effort on Nendoroid Doll Shinku, they find it would be a waste to have their sculpts sitting on the dust and thus reuse it for regular Nendoroid version. As a result, we got ourselves more expressive version of Shinku including her Tsundere expression which look adorable.
But what catches my attention is the vintage Suitcase rendition of Shinku 2.0 iteration. The first version of Nendoroid Shinku came with this suitcase accessory for relatively cheaper price but this one had its own merit. The first Nendoroid Shinku suitcase was way smaller that a Nendoroid cannot fit in, but this one able to fully enclose a Nendoroid which have wide use of application. I reckon the suitcase can fit in a Nendoroid Doll which is the version of my Shinku and even can fit 3 Nendoroid in the open mode. Hopefully Suigintou or Suiseiseki can follow up in the future.
