Doki Doki Literature Club fans have a new official product to track: a Monika Nendoroid Doll expected to ship between July and September 2027. Pre-orders are open at $58.99 and are scheduled to close on November 3, 2026. There is no exact shipping date yet, so collectors will need to plan around the broader release window rather than a specific day.
What changed for Doki Doki Literature Club fans?
The newly revealed figure gives Monika, the club president and one of the visual novel’s most recognizable characters, a more articulated collectible form. The design uses a cute chibi style and includes poses based on her appearances in the game. The package includes a display stand and interchangeable hand parts, giving owners several options for presenting the figure. The announcement arrived on Monika’s birthday, adding a character-focused detail to the reveal without changing the product’s planned timeline.
Who should consider the new Monika Nendoroid Doll?
This release is aimed primarily at collectors and fans who want a more poseable version of Monika. It differs from the earlier Monika Nendoroid because Nendoroid Dolls combine a chibi head and body with substantially more articulation. Their clothing is made from fabric rather than being entirely molded plastic, and the outfits can be exchanged with clothing from other Nendoroid Dolls. The original Monika Nendoroid’s faceplates are also expected to be compatible, although that detail is described as a possibility rather than a separately confirmed feature.
What comes next for the series and its fans?
The figure arrives as Doki Doki Literature Club approaches its tenth anniversary and remains a notable cult classic. Players who have not tried the game can still access the original version for free on Steam, while Doki Doki Literature Club Plus expanded the experience to consoles and added extra content. A mobile version launched in 2025, though its Android distribution changed after the game was removed from Google Play; it has since returned through the Epic Games Store. Beyond merchandise, developer Team Salvato is working on at least three games, including Magicore Anomala for the 1985 Amiga home console. The other two projects are unnamed and currently have no release dates.
What players and collectors should know
- The product is a Monika Nendoroid Doll, not a new game release.
- The listed price is $58.99.
- Pre-orders are scheduled to close on November 3, 2026.
- The expected shipping window is July through September 2027.

- Its fabric outfit and added articulation distinguish it from a standard Nendoroid.
Expert View
The Monika Nendoroid Doll is a useful follow-up for collectors who already own the original figure, especially because its articulated body and fabric clothing support more display options. However, buyers should treat the 2027 window as an estimate until a firm date is announced. For fans waiting for a new game or deeper story expansion, this is merchandise rather than the next chapter of Doki Doki Literature Club.
