This isn’t the only kind of Gintama merchandise we’ve seen in 2023. Earlier this year, Uniqlo started carrying t-shirts based on the series. Those were available worldwide.
As for other Nendoroids on the way, Good Smile Company announced three based on a video game series. Kazuma Kiryu, Goro Majima, and Ichiban Kasuga from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series will join the line.
There’s no release window yet for the Gintama Nendoroids, as more news about the figures will appear at future events. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll. Viz Media handled the release of the manga outside Japan.
