Shadowheart Nendoroid From Baldur's Gate 3 Launches, Astarion Figure Teased

Pre-orders are open now for the trickery cleric, and the vampire rogue is next in line.

Good Smile Company has opened pre-orders for a Shadowheart Nendoroid from Baldur's Gate 3, and teased that an Astarion figure is on the way.

A Shadowheart Nendoroid is Now Available for Pre-Order

The Shadowheart Nendoroid is priced at $49.99 and is available to pre-order now through Good Smile Company's online store. The figure captures the Trickery Domain cleric in her signature dark armor and white hair, complete with three interchangeable face plates: a standard expression, a smiling face, and a combat-ready determined look. It also includes her mace, a shield, and a small wolf companion — a nod to her connection with the goddess Shar.

Pre-orders are expected to ship in the fourth quarter of 2025. As with most Nendoroids, the figure stands about 100mm tall and features the signature chibi proportions of the line.

Astarion is Coming, But No Date Yet

Good Smile Company also confirmed that a Nendoroid of Astarion, the fan-favorite vampire rogue, is in development. No pre-order window or pricing has been announced yet, but the tease suggests the company plans to release a full line of Baldur's Gate 3 companions as Nendoroids. Given Astarion's massive popularity — he's consistently been one of the most talked-about characters since the game's launch — the demand for a figure was inevitable.

If you were hoping to complete the party, you might be waiting a while. Larian Studios hasn't announced any plans for Nendoroids of Karlach, Gale, Wyll, or Lae'zel, though the Astarion tease suggests the line could expand if Shadowheart sells well.

Why This is a Big Deal for Baldur's Gate 3 Collectors

Baldur's Gate 3 was a cultural phenomenon when it launched in August 2023, selling over 10 million copies across PC and consoles within its first year. The game won multiple Game of the Year awards and cemented Larian Studios as a major force in RPG development. Despite that success, official merchandise has been relatively sparse — a few T-shirts, some art books, and a deluxe edition. The Shadowheart Nendoroid is one of the first high-quality, articulated figures for the game's cast.

Nendoroids have a strong track record of bringing beloved game characters to life in collectible form. The line has covered everything from Alan Wake to Ace Combat pilots, and the chibi style often appeals to both hardcore collectors and casual fans. For Baldur's Gate 3 fans who've been waiting for something more than a poster or a keychain, this is a welcome step.

The Competitive Landscape of Game Merchandise

Good Smile Company's move into Baldur's Gate 3 figures isn't happening in a vacuum. The collectible figure market has exploded in recent years, driven by companies like Adorable Arts and others producing high-quality, affordable Nendoroid alternatives. The price point of $49.99 is competitive — many comparable figures from other franchises land between $45 and $60.

The timing is also smart. Baldur's Gate 3 continues to receive updates and patches, and the game's modding community keeps it alive on PC. With no sequel announced yet, merchandise like this helps maintain fan engagement during the lull between major content drops.

What Comes Next for the Figure Line

The most obvious question is whether Good Smile Company will produce the rest of the main party. Astarion is all but confirmed, but Karlach, Gale, Wyll, and Lae'zel would round out the core group. Shadowheart is arguably the most recognizable companion — she's the first character most players meet in the game's opening hours — so starting with her makes sense from a marketing perspective.

If the Shadowheart figure sells well, expect a full wave of announcements later this year. If it doesn't, the Astarion tease might remain just that — a tease. For now, Baldur's Gate 3 fans have a solid reason to check their wallets.
