Nezuko Nendoroid Guide

Demon Slayer’s Nendoroid line has rapidly grown in just three and a half years. GSC started with three figures in 2020 but now has 12, with more on the way. Yet no matter how many characters they make from the series, Nezuko will always be among the best sellers.

Though, since there are four Nendoroids of her, choosing which one’s for you is going to be complicated – without this Nezuko Nendoroid guide, that is. It’s because other articles and reviews solely focus on the physical aspect of the variants.

Whereas this guide includes all of the toys’ relevant details, quality, and connection to the story. So since I’ve already collected them, you don’t have to do anything but read.

Just stay with me, and you’ll be able to distinguish the 4 Nendoroids’ differences to determine which version matches your preferences the most. With the info I’ve gathered, not only will you understand their individual allure, but you’ll also discover more Nezukos you’ll love!

Bottom Line Up Front

Although the 4 Nezuko Nendoroids may seem alike, they provide different experiences from one another. Each toy has features that represent vital sides of the character that are uniquely theirs.

As such, obtaining all of them is the best way to thoroughly relish Nezuko, especially if she’s your number one waifu. If you simply want one Nendoroid to stand for the character in your collection, the information here will lead you to the right variant.

It all depends on what you’re into—for instance, the Demonized version’s perfect when you want the mature Nezuko. And the Nendoroid Doll variant will suit you if you’re more into customizing or playing out scenarios. Meanwhile, the first Nezuko and the Swacchao! variant are excellent figures for those who prefer the classic Nezuko and original Nendoroid design.

If these four are just your starting pieces, perhaps you’d like to add larger ones? I’ve got the perfect ten Nezuko figures for you here as well. Stay with me until the end, and you’ll find the best Nezukos for you.

The Different Nezuko Nendoroids

Nezuko Kamado Nendoroid

Are you concentrating on core pieces for your Nezuko or Demon Slayer collection? Then this first Nendoroid variant of the series’ main girl should be at the top of your to-buy figures.

It has the character’s most recognizable appearance, based on her ‘dormant demon’ side that’s present for most of the series. Not to mention, this Nendoroid allows you to switch between Nezuko’s demon and human forms freely.

• Release date: 1st release June 2020, 2nd release September 2020, 3rd release February 2021 and 4th release December 2021
• SRP: $54.99
• Rarity: Low

Pros

• This figure has one of the best qualities among the high-end miniature Nezukos.
• You can display the character’s human and demon faces with this variant. It’s a feature rarely available in the other Nezuko PVC duplicates.
• It’s the only Nendoroid version that has Nezuko’s wooden box. You can even open it to make the scene more realistic.
• This Nezuko version has one of the cleanest and smoothest appearances. The only visible seam lines are on the shoulders, and the rest are hidden under the kimono or the hair.
• The market is saturated with this figure due to the multiple rereleases. Consequently, this Nendoroid’s value will remain at SRP for a long time.

Cons

• Some stocks of this figure may have loose bamboo mouthpieces. You can quickly fix it, but it can be bothersome for those not into DIY solutions.

Nezuko Kamado Demonization Version Nendoroid

This version’s 100% for you when you’ve got the same obsession as Zenitsu or just love Nezuko’s mature and wild form the most. GSC included all of the character’s juicy bits (no censorship!), so you can accurately recreate her scenes from the anime’s second season.

In addition, this variant is more action-oriented, making it a sure hit for those who are crazy for the character’s rarely-seen fierce and aggressive side.

• Release date: January 2023
• SRP: $43.99
• Rarity: Low

Pros

• This is the only Nendoroid version that can properly depict Nezuko’s fight scenes because it comes with effect parts.
• It’s one of the few figures to include Nezuko’s Blood Demon Art flames. The pink flames are moveable, so you can place them wherever you want to set up the scene correctly.
• This version has the best hair for fighting scenes. It doesn’t block any part of the Nendoroid because it’s positioned around the body.
• It’s one of the only two Nezuko Demonized versions that can be customized (the other one’s the Nezuko BUZZmod by Aniplex and Zero-G Act)
• Except for the seam lines on the exposed left arm, there aren’t any noticeable joints or seams on the figure.

Cons

• This Nendoroid’s poses are limited to standing ones since it doesn’t have kneeling or bendable leg parts.
• You can’t put the white effect part on anything since it’s permanently attached to the kicking right leg part.

Nezuko Kamado Nendoroid Doll

There’s no better toy than this precious Nezuko version for those who want the versatility of dolls and the cuteness of Nendoroids. Sure, it’s almost twice the value of a standard Nendoroid, but it’s already a sweet deal for a figure that can do so much.

Thanks to its flexibility and customization options, you can be as wacky or as creative as you want with this Nezuko.

• Release date: June 2022
• SRP: $82.99
• Rarity: Low

Pros

• This version resembles action figures since it can do more poses than the regular Nendoroids. Its body has many articulated joints, and its parts can be detached with ease as well.
• Since this figure’s clothes are fabric, it has a more realistic and charming vibe than the rest of the Nezuko Nendoroids.
• Even without buying new clothes for the figure, you can still change Nezuko’s appearance. Since the haori comes as a separate piece, you can display the figure with the usual combo (kimono and haori) or just the kimono. This feature is exclusively available for this variant and the BUZZmod versions.
• You can use other Nendoroid doll accessories with it to effectively replay scenes from the show or create your own scenarios.
• This figure’s body parts are easier to replace than a Nendoroid’s. All you have to buy is the Nendoroid Archetype: Girl (Almond Milk or Peach version) body, and you can replace everything save for the head and footwear.

Cons

• This figure doesn’t come with any accessories.
• The clothes are prone to stains and dirt since they’re made of fabric.
• You have to dress it up yourself because the figure arrives naked.

Nezuko Kamado Swacchao! Nendoroid

Despite their itty bitty size, Nendoroids are by no means cheap. A standard one already equals 2 to 4 Pops or a 5 to 8-inch prize figure. And if you’re dying for a Nezuko Nendoroid yet aren’t a fan of the $40 to $50 price tag, this Swacchao! version will satisfy you.

It has the same appearance and quality as regular Nendoroids, just with fewer options. As such, this is a toy I suggest to those who want to keep their displays simple.

• Release date: August 2022
• SRP: $35.99
• Rarity: Low

Pros

• It’s the cheapest Nezuko Nendoroid. Moreover, its price is bound to stay close to SRP since the other Nendoroids are more in demand.
• This is among the best toys to place in tight spaces. You don’t have to worry about toppling it over, too, since it’ll stay in place due to its position. Popular areas where collectors often display this toy are bookcases, monitors, and CPU chassis.
• The figure’s box is easier to store since it’s barely half the size of a standard Nendoroid box.
• This is a good selection for casual collectors or those who want a souvenir type of toy to symbolize the show.
• You can display Nezuko with or without the chair since the figure isn’t fixed to it.

Cons

• You can’t do much with the figure since it’s in a perpetual seated position. Only the head and arms are moveable.

Nendoroid Accessories For Nezuko

You can use these official GSC accessories to enhance the Nezuko Nendoroid of your choice. I also included items that will allow you to set up specific places that were shown in the anime.

• Nendoroid More: Faced Swap Demon Slayer 01 – It has Nezuko’s angry/frustrated human faceplate, which none of her Nendoroid versions have.
• Nendoroid Doll: Outfit Set (Nezuko Kamado) – Lets you transform your Nendoroid into a Nendoroid Doll or serve as replacement parts.
• Nendoroid Doll Height Adjustment Set – You can give the Nezuko Nendoroid Doll a more mature-looking and longer body.
• Dioramansion 150: Jiufen – Backdrop for the fight scenes of the 2nd season, the Entertainment District Arc.
• Dioramansion 150: Snowy Mountain Ver. 2 – Backdrop for Nezuko and Tanjiro’s first meeting with Giyu in the first episode of Season 1.
• Dioramansion 200: Japanese Cedar Forest – Backdrop for Nezuko running away from Kanao in season 1.

Additional Nezuko Figures To Collect

As a result of Demon Slayer’s tremendous popularity, its main characters have gotten over 150 figures each! Can you guess who’s the character with the second largest number of figures is? It’s Nezuko!

Given the adoration she’s receiving, the odds are high that you want to fawn over her too. Well, here are 10 Nezuko figures that deserve your wholehearted attention.

Nezuko Kamado Figuarts Mini by Bandai Spirits

Are you looking for more tiny Nezukos to surround yourself with? If so, Bandai’s Figuarts Mini version of Tanjiro’s little sister should appeal to your fancy. It’s a cheaper alternative to Nendoroids that still packs the same cuteness.

What’s more, you can display Nezuko with tons of other characters from the series that aren’t available as Nendoroids yet (like Akaza, Urokodaki, Sanemi, and Iguro).

• Release date: February 2023
• SRP: $29.99
• Rarity: Low

Pros

• The figure offers some movement in the head, legs, and arms. It also comes with an extra set of arms, so you have various poses to choose from.
• Similar to the first Nezuko Nendoroid, this version includes the character’s trademark wooden box. The Tanjiro Figuarts can also equip this accessory.
• This Nezuko figure’s body proportions are closer to her character design than the Nendoroid.
• Though it costs a bit less than Nendoroids, it has almost the same level of quality. The paint is so neat and precise that you can even see the character’s tiny pink nails.
• The support stand looks clean and can be hidden from view depending on the figure’s position.

Cons

• The figure has limited poses, and its legs can’t be spread apart much due to the long skirt.

Nezuko Kamado Onika Shinjouki (Demon Form Advancing) Version 1/8 by Aniplex and Wing

Unlike most Nezuko PVCs based on the anime’s character design, this variant is mainly made up of the manga’s visuals. It has a refined and sensual atmosphere that you won’t usually see in TV series. This grown-up Nezuko is a must-have for her ultimate fans. No other figure portrays the character from the source material with this much detail or sexiness.

• Release date: March 2023
• SRP: $194
• Rarity: Low

Pros

• The entire figure’s appearance is taken from the cover of the manga’s 11th volume. The only part that somewhat deviates from the original design is the colors of the leaf-like patterns. The one on the figure’s body is reddish pink with green tips. In contrast, they’re primarily red in the manga, but some leaves are partially or entirely green.
• It’s one of the rare Nezuko figures to come with a backdrop. I like the design and color, as it adds a seductive and dreamlike vibe to the figure.
• This exhibits a different side of the character. It’s the sexiest and most feminine figure of Nezuko available. It’s a version you should get when you admire her womanly charms.
• The figure is just 4.7 inches tall, so it’ll fit in most display cabinets or shelves.
• Aniplex gets two thumbs up for the figure’s skin texture and color. It’s the same as on the cover and looks realistic.

Cons

• You have to put a light behind the backdrop to recreate the glow it has in the promos.
• The base needs to be cleaned frequently to keep it looking good since it has a glossy finish.

Nezuko Kamado Ichiban Kuji (B Prize) by Bandai Spirits

Nezuko’s main appeal is her goofy and naive disposition, but her face also draws in many fans. She wouldn’t be the beauty of her and Tanjiro’s hometown otherwise. And this particular prize figure does a great job of highlighting the character’s appearance.

That said, this should be among your top picks when you’re on a budget and want to display a pretty Nezuko.

• Release date: February 2021
• SRP: Around $30
• Rarity: Medium

Pros

• The base’s elegant design complements Demon Slayer’s overall visual style. It also has an unusual shape and layout that makes it more noticeable than others.
• It’s much more affordable than scale figures, yet it has a similar design and feel to them. The figure doesn’t look like it just costs $30.
• This has one of the most attractive faces among the Nezuko prize figures. It still looks like the character, even from different angles.
• I like the figure’s pose because it’s got the right mix of sexy and innocent. The pose also exposes more of Nezuko’s skin than usual, but it’s done tastefully, so it doesn’t appear inappropriate.
• It’s among the better-looking Nezuko prize figures in general.

Cons

• Stocks of this figure commonly have paint flaws around the ombre parts of the hair. The orange paint doesn’t always align with the indentation in the hair strands.
• Since the base has a glossy finish, any scratches or smudges will immediately be visible.

Nezuko Kamado Bakketsu (Blood Demon Art Exploding Blood) 1/8 by Aniplex and Wing

Demon Slayer’s distinct and striking art style makes it stand out from other anime. One of the Nezuko figures that sufficiently conveys this special flair is this work of art by Aniplex. It’s a stunning rendition of Nezuko awakening and unleashing her demonic powers for the first time ever.

Given its significance and top-notch quality, this figure belongs to every fan’s collection. Get this wonderful Nezuko, and take a pivotal piece of the anime’s first season with you.

• Release date: June 2022
• SRP: $239
• Rarity: Low

Pros

• The flame effects look great, and the intensity of the colors can change depending on the light reflected on it.
• It’s got impeccable quality, as most stocks have immaculate paint and sculpt. Even the fingers are finely crafted.
• The figure recreates a memorable scene from the anime. It’s from episode 19, where Nezuko first reveals her Demon Blood Art power.
• It’s one of the few figures that correctly shows the color and strength of Nezuko’s demon power.
• It’s one of the most visually beautiful Nezuko figures. It’s also safe to display around kids since the figure doesn’t show the character’s underwear.

Cons

• The upside-down pose makes Nezuko’s face look weird from some angles.
• You have limited display options for this figure since you can only clearly see Nezuko’s face from a few angles.

Nezuko Precious G.E.M. Kamado Kyoudai Set by MegaHouse

Do you prefer Nezuko when she’s fierce rather than cutesy? If so, this action-oriented version of Demon Slayer’s ultimate imouto is your winning toy. Aside from looking drop-dead gorgeous, it also has impressive 10/10 quality.

The only thing I don’t like about this is it’s too small for something so expensive. But the premium craftsmanship more than makes up for the non-scale size, as every stock is almost flawless.

• Release date: July 2022
• SRP: $344.99
• Rarity: Low

Pros

• This figure can stay upright without a base since Nezuko’s left hand also serves as a support stand.
• Although this figure comes with Tanjiro, you can display Nezuko on her own since it comes with two bases.
• The detail of this Nezuko is top-grade, as you can see that every inch has been handled with utmost care and skill. There are also no noticeable errors in the paint and sculpt.
• This figure has one of the best faces since it’s identical to the anime’s character design.
• Nezuko’s pose is based on the character’s go-to attack stance in the anime series. The figure’s a great fit for those who like Nezuko when she’s in demon mode.

Cons

• You can’t buy this figure individually because Nezuko is part of a set with Tanjiro.
• The price is unlikely to drop since it comprises two figures and is among the best-looking ones of the Kamado siblings.

Nezuko G.E.M. Tenohira by MegaHouse

I initially debated whether this first version deserved a spot on this list or the Tenohira version 2. What sealed the deal for me? It’s the nails. The newer variant has distracting and sloppy fingertips that take the attention away from the figure.

This first design, however, is totally adorable from its head to its tiny little toes. This Nezuko also tugs at your heartstrings and spares you from headaches since it only has minor to barely visible flaws.

• Release date: 1st release September 2019 and 2nd release July 2020
• SRP: Around $40
• Rarity: Low to Medium

Pros

• It’s one of the few figures that show Nezuko in her actual child form, as she’s shown in the anime.
• Some stocks of this figure come with a postcard.
• You can place the figure on any flat surface since it doesn’t need the stand to remain upright.
• The figure has a cute face, and it has one of the fan-favorite expressions of the character.
• Due to the rerelease, the figure’s price is unlikely to increase like the first release did. So you’ll be able to buy this close to SRP for some time.
• It’s roughly the same size as a Nendoroid, making it a nice fit on most surfaces, like desktops, bookshelves, etc.

Cons

•  Some stocks of this figure may have minor sculpt issues, such as cast lines on the fingers.
• It has similar paint smudges as the Nezuko Tenohira version 2, just a lot less noticeable and messy.

Nezuko Running Funko Pop Box Lunch Exclusive

Not every fan or collector has big bucks to spend on anime figures. So a good way to quench your Nezuko thirst with just $15 is with this figure. Out of all the Pop variants, it has the most refreshing and energetic design. I love its dynamic pose and base since it gives the figure a seamless and active appearance.

• Release date: January 2023
• SRP: $14.90
• Rarity: Low

Pros

• Instead of the standard Pop base, this figure has a dust cloud effect. It serves as a base while also stressing Nezuko’s fast running speed.
• This is the most dynamic Nezuko Pop. It’s a fun adaptation of Nezuko’s running away scene from the first season.
• Since it’s the newest figure in the Demon Slayer Funko Pop lineup, it has better quality than the previous releases. The rough mold isn’t that noticeable since they’re only on the back part of the hair.

Cons

• The size of the figure’s clothes isn’t faithful to the scenario it’s based on. Nezuko is in child form during this scene (when she runs away from Kanao), so the kimono is supposed to be several sizes too big for her.

Nezuko 1/8 by Aniplex and Wing

Like Nezuko’s Demon Form Advancing 1/8 scale, this version emphasizes the character’s femininity instead of her demon side. It has a soft and delicate aura that would look lovely on any display. And since it’s made by Aniplex, it also has fantastic craftsmanship for its mold and paint.

• Release date: November 2020
• SRP: $169
• Rarity: Medium

Pros

• It’s one of the few figures that adequately illustrate the size difference between Nezuko and the box.
• As the box is detached, you can display this figure with or without the black base.
• I like that the orange ombre has a gradient between the black hair. it looks better despite being inaccurate to the anime
• I like the feminine pose of this figure. it also likes shape of the hair, as it makes it seem like there’s a breeze
• the figure is still safe to display around kids since there it doesn’t have a panty shot. You can’t see anything past the thighs.

Cons

• the peg that connects the figure to the box is fragile, so you may accidentally break it

Nezuko ConoFig by Aniplex

Many manufacturers have tried duplicating Nezuko’s iconic running away scene from the first season. But none have gotten it right like this Nezuko ConoFig. From how the clothes flutter to the expression and body proportions, Aniplex basically cloned the Nezuko on the screen. Hence you shouldn’t miss out on this variant if the scene’s a favorite or you love Nezuko’s toddler form.

• Release date: September 2021
• SRP: $77.98
• Rarity: Low

Pros

• This variant is based on one of Nezuko’s funniest and most memorable scenes from the first season. So it’s a recognizable figure.
• It’s also one of the few figures of the character that correctly conveys Nezuko’s appearance as a child. The others just opt to go for a chibi style.
• Aniplex faithfully captured Nezuko’s pose and appearance from episode 21 in PVC form.
• This figure has an animated and lifelike feeling due to the position and direction of the hair and clothes.
• Most stocks of this figure are clean, and the visible seam lines on the shoulders blend in with the haori.

Cons

• This figure has a yellowish skin color, but Nezuko has a pale or ashy skin tone in the anime.

Nezuko Kamado Ichiban Kuji Layer Scape (B Prize) by Bandai Spirits

Do you have an interest in a fancy-looking Nezuko that won’t exceed what you can spare? Then this unique and eye-catching prize figure fits the bill to a tee. Bandai outdid themselves with this Nezuko since the design looks as good as a scale’s. The layout, backdrop, and pose are all on point, meshing well together to produce a sweet and wistful Nezuko figure.

• Release date: May 2021
• SRP: $35.99
• Rarity: Medium

Pros

• This is one of the most affordable and pretty Nezukos available.
• Even though it’s a prize figure, it looks like a premium scale at first glance. The sculpt is primarily neat, and the flaws (cast lines and rough molds) are hidden.
• This figure has a complete vibe similar to the Bakketsu and Demon Form Advancing scales by Aniplex. It would be a nice centerpiece in your Demon slayer or Nezuko collection.
• The figure has a seamless appearance since it doesn’t have the typical base. It’s one of the features that make this visually more appealing than the other prize figures.

Cons

• You must carefully plan where to put this Nezuko because the backdrop will overshadow the figures beside it.
• The figure’s face seems slightly wider than the source material, like it’s a chubby Nezuko.
