Baldur's Gate 3 Shadowheart Nendoroid Figure Confirmed for 2027 Release

Good Smile Company has opened pre-orders for a Baldur's Gate 3 Shadowheart Nendoroid figure, priced at $43.99 and slated to ship between July 1 and September 30, 2027. Pre-orders close September 1, 2026, and direct purchases from Good Smile include a bonus Gauntlet of Shar background sheet. This is the second Baldur's Gate 3 figure in the Nendoroid line, following Astarion's release earlier in 2026. For the uninitiated, Nendoroids are Good Smile's chibi-style, articulated action figures that typically stand under 5 inches tall, feature swappable faceplates, and include character-specific accessories for posing.

What comes with the Shadowheart Nendoroid

Shadowheart measures 3.94 inches tall and depicts her starting appearance from the game. She includes three faceplates — a serious expression, a smiling face, and a glaring scowl — along with Selune's Spear of Night, the Mysterious Artefact, and a "Shadowheart Disapproves" effect piece that clips onto her stand. That last accessory is a smart nod to the game's approval system, where the player's choices frequently earn a notification of Shadowheart's disapproval. Extra posing parts are included to let her hold the accessories in different configurations. The bonus Gauntlet of Shar background sheet for direct orders adds a thematic backdrop that ties into the character's story arc.

Two more figures already in development

Good Smile isn't stopping at the default outfits. A Camp Clothes Version of Astarion has been revealed with a single image, though no release date or pre-order window has been announced. Shadowheart will also get a second version featuring her alternate look from later in the game, but that figure is still under development with no images shared yet. Pricing for both alternate versions will likely match the $43.99 standard, based on the first two releases. The choice to focus on Astarion and Shadowheart first makes sense — they're two of the most popular companions in Baldur's Gate 3, with Shadowheart in particular being the most romanced character in the game according to Larian's own statistics. The fact that both are getting alternate outfits before other companions receive any figure at all suggests Good Smile is betting on repeat buyers within the same dedicated fanbase.

Merchandise filling the sequel gap

The Nendoroid line exists within a larger ecosystem of Baldur's Gate 3 merchandise and expanded media. A prequel novel titled Baldur's Gate 3: Astarion is in the works, covering the rogue's life before the game's events. HBO is developing a television series sequel, which has already generated significant fan excitement and casting speculation. Meanwhile, Baldur's Gate 4 has reportedly struggled to find a developer, making it likely that several years will pass before a direct sequel materializes. That gap makes merchandise and expanded media all the more important for keeping the IP alive. The adventure game's massive cultural footprint — it swept every major Game of the Year list in 2023 and sold over 10 million copies within months — ensures that demand for physical collectibles remains high, even if a follow-up game is years away. For fans, these figures and tie-in media are the primary way to engage with the world of Faerûn until Larian or another studio announces what comes next.

The long wait is the real concern

There's one obvious downside here: the 2027 ship date. Opening pre-orders more than a year before delivery is standard practice for Nendoroids, but it requires a level of commitment and patience that not every fan will have. By the time Shadowheart actually arrives on shelves, it will have been nearly four years since Baldur's Gate 3 launched. That's a long time to wait for a $44 pre-order. There's also the question of roster depth. Karlach, Lae'zel, Gale, and Wyll all have passionate fanbases, and there's no indication yet that they'll receive figures. If Good Smile's strategy is to focus exclusively on the game's romanceable characters in their base and alternate outfits, some fans may feel left out. The company's approach so far suggests a cautious rollout rather than a full lineup.

What to watch for next

For fans who want to secure the Shadowheart Nendoroid, the pre-order window closes September 1, 2026. The Camp Clothes Astarion and alternate Shadowheart figures will likely follow similar timelines once Good Smile reveals more details. For collectors, the direct purchase bonus is worth noting — the Gauntlet of Shar background sheet adds display value at no extra cost. The bigger question is which companion gets the Nendoroid treatment after these two. If early pre-order numbers are strong, Good Smile might expand the line to include more of the cast. For now, Shadowheart and Astarion are carrying the weight, and their sales performance will determine how deep into the roster the company is willing to go.
