Good Smile has confirmed a new Baldur’s Gate 3 Nendoroid for 2027—Shadowheart—turning the game’s ongoing popularity into something fans can physically display soon. With pre-orders now open, this marks the second Baldur’s Gate 3 figure in Good Smile’s Nendoroid line, following an Astarion release earlier in 2026.
What happened
Good Smile’s Nendoroid line is expanding deeper into Baldur’s Gate 3 with a Shadowheart figure confirmed for 2027. This will be the second character released in the Nendoroid series for the game: Astarion was released earlier in 2026.
The company has opened pre-orders for the Shadowheart Nendoroid and shared the figure’s details. Shadowheart is depicted as she appears at the start of the game and stands at 3.94 inches tall. The set includes Selune’s Spear of Night and the Mysterious Artefact, alongside a “Shadowheart Disapproves” effect that reflects her reactions to player actions in-game and can be mounted to her stand.
As with many Nendoroids, the appeal isn’t only the character design—it’s also the customization. The Shadowheart package includes extra parts for posing and for holding the included accessories. It also comes with three faceplates: one serious expression, one smiling face, and one glaring scowl.
Pre-orders run through September 1. The figure is priced at $43.99, with an estimated shipping window set between July 1 and September 30, 2027. Buyers who purchase directly from Good Smile will also receive a bonus Gauntlet of Shar background sheet designed for posing Shadowheart in front of it.
Why it matters
Nendoroids are built for display and interaction, and this release leans into both. Good Smile’s smaller “chibi” style figures are typically under 5 inches tall, but they’re also designed to be articulated, letting collectors pose characters in different ways. The presence of swappable faceplates supports multiple expressions, while accessory options make it easier to recreate recognizable moments—like pairing Shadowheart with key items such as Selune’s Spear of Night and the Mysterious Artefact.
For Baldur’s Gate 3 fans, the timing also matters. A new official figure arriving in 2027 signals that the franchise’s spotlight is continuing well beyond the game’s initial hype cycle. Even if a full sequel announcement takes time, this kind of merch roadmap keeps the cast visible and gives fans another tangible way to engage with the characters.
What to watch next
Good Smile is not stopping at one version of each character. The company says the line will stick with Astarion and Shadowheart for the foreseeable future, with both receiving second Nendoroid releases based on alternate designs.
Astarion’s second version has already been revealed as a Camp Clothes variant, though Good Smile has only shared a single image so far and has not provided a pre-order window or release date.
Shadowheart is also set for a second version featuring an alternate look that becomes unlockable later in the game. Unlike the Astarion variant, no images have been shared yet because that Shadowheart version is still under development. Pricing for these second versions has not been announced, but since the first two versions of Astarion and Shadowheart are both $43.99, a similar price is likely.
Separately, the source also notes that the broader franchise includes a prequel novel focused on Astarion’s life before the game’s events, titled Baldur’s Gate 3: Astarion, and an HBO TV series sequel—both of which add momentum while fans wait for what comes next.

Expert View
From a collector-and-community standpoint, Good Smile’s approach is a smart way to keep Baldur’s Gate 3 present in the conversation: the figures aren’t just static—articulation, faceplate swaps, and reaction-themed accessories make them feel like extensions of the game’s character identity. For the studio and the franchise, it’s also a low-risk, high-visibility way to maintain momentum while larger announcements—like any potential sequel—remain uncertain.
