The King of the Skies is getting the chibi treatment. The Rathalos Nendoroid is the first figure in Good Smile’s Monster Hunter line to depict an actual monster rather than a human hunter, and its store page is already live with pricing and a firm pre-order window.
Quick answer: Order the Rathalos Nendoroid for $58.99 on the Good Smile US product page before September 23, 2026. Deliveries begin July 1, 2027.
Rathalos Nendoroid price and pre-order window
Pre-orders are open now. Because Nendoroids are made to order, the window matters. Once it closes, Good Smile produces only the number of units ordered, and re-releases are rare and usually reserved for the most popular figures years down the line. If you want this one, secure it inside the window rather than waiting for restocks.

Note: There’s a long gap between ordering and delivery. That wait is standard for the made-to-order Nendoroid process, so plan around a 2027 arrival rather than a quick turnaround.
What comes in the box
Like most Nendoroids, the Rathalos figure ships with swappable parts so you can change its pose and expression. The included pieces let you display the wyvern at rest or mid-fight.
- Two faceplates, one with open eyes and one with closed eyes.
- Alternate wings to set a resting or fighting stance.
- A fireball that attaches to Rathalos’s mouth for the combat pose.
- A swappable tail that can be displayed as severed.
At 3.54 inches, the figure is small, which is typical for the line. The compact size makes the detail work stand out, and Rathalos gets the signature chibi proportions every Nendoroid receives. The result is far cuter than the monster you fight in the games, even if the pose options still lean into its aggression.
Where the Monster Hunter Nendoroid line is heading
Good Smile confirmed plans for more Monster Hunter figures earlier this year and shared concept art for the Rathalos debut. The finished figure follows that concept art closely. Alongside Rathalos, the early plans included a Yian Kut-Ku and two Palico options, one modeled on Kit T from Monster Hunter Rise and another in Rathalos armor.
Earlier Monster Hunter Nendoroids focused on human characters, such as the female hunter in Rathalos armor from Monster Hunter: World, which came with two faceplates and the “Red Wing” Great Sword. Rathalos marks the shift toward the creatures themselves, and with several more figures in development, it opens the door for fans to lobby for their favorite monsters next.
The bottom line is simple. If a chibi Rathalos on your shelf sounds appealing, place the order before the September 23, 2026 cutoff, and expect it to land on July 1, 2027. You’ll know the order went through once the pre-order confirmation appears at checkout on the Good Smile US store.
