Zero no Tsukaima Nendoroid Louise 2.0

One of the early mid-2000s isekai classics, Zero no Tsukaima, has finally received a Nendoroid 2.0 renewal from Good Smile Company and it’s the main heroine who gets the honor! It’s been more than a decade since Louise received her first Nendoroid, and now she’s getting a full upgrade, which is truly a treat for nostalgic fans. Scheduled for release in August 2026, Nendoroid Louise will be priced at ¥6,800.

Zero no Tsukaima is the anime that cemented Rie Kugimiya’s status as the undisputed tsundere queen, thanks to her portrayal of Louise: an insecure apprentice wizard who hides immense power, having isekai’d high school boy serves as her familiar and eventual lover. I watched the series during my teenage years and still look back on it fondly.

As a classic tsundere waifu character, the new Nendoroid 2.0 Louise features a surprisingly mellow expression, which is a major win for nostalgic fans. Given that the series effectively concluded after the author’s passing, there may be no continuation of the story but I’m seriously considering rewatching the series from Season 2 to the finale just for the nostalgia.
