BODY: A fire poker isn't usually the first accessory you'd expect to see clipped to a chibi figure โ but for fans of "Magical Girl Witch Trial," it's the perfect inside joke made plastic.
Good Smile Company announced today that a Nendoroid of protagonist Hiro Nikaidou will ship in October 2026, with preorders opening immediately through the GoodSmile Online Shop and partner retailers. The figure adapts the character from the magic-debate adventure mystery game, which fuses courtroom-style argumentation with magical-girl tropes.
The Nendoroid comes with three swappable face plates designed to cover the emotional range the game demands of Hiro: a gentle "smiling face," a sharp "interrogation face" for pressing witnesses, and a wide-eyed "madness face" for the story's darker turns. The trio mirrors the tonal whiplash that has become a signature of the series.
Optional accessories lean hard into in-game references, with the previously mentioned fire poker leading the pack โ an item players of the original game will recognize as carrying considerable narrative weight. Additional small props round out the display options, letting collectors stage scenes that nod to specific trial sequences.
Pricing and exact retail channels follow Good Smile's standard Nendoroid release pattern, with the Japan-domestic preorder window typically closing months ahead of the ship date.
The insider take
In Tokyo's Akihabara figure scene, "Magical Girl Witch Trial" has quietly built a devoted following โ the kind of title that doesn't dominate Animate's front displays but consistently sells through at Kotobukiya and Volks specialty shops. Good Smile greenlighting a Nendoroid is a meaningful signal: the company tends to commit production slots to IPs with proven merchandise pull, and Hiro joining the lineup suggests the publisher sees runway for further character figures and likely an anime adaptation push. Expect resale prices to spike if international preorder allocations stay tight, as they often do for niche-but-passionate ADV titles.
