Our verdict

This Nendoroid captures Naruto Uzumaki's energetic personality perfectly, offering solid articulation, an eye-catching Rasengan effect piece, and Good Smile Company's dependable quality control. It's a must-have for Naruto fans and Nendoroid collectors alike, though careful handling is needed when swapping the small interchangeable parts.

πŸ“The full review

The Good Smile Company Nendoroid Naruto Uzumaki brings the beloved Hidden Leaf ninja to life in that signature chibi-style format fans of the Nendoroid line have come to adore. Standing at the classic compact height of around ten centimeters, this figure captures Naruto in his iconic orange and black jumpsuit, complete with his forehead protector proudly displayed and that unmistakable spiky blond hair sculpted with the sharp precision Good Smile Company is known for. The oversized head and expressive faceplates give the figure a charming, almost mischievous quality that mirrors Naruto's personality, striking a perfect balance between adorable and true to the source material from Masashi Kishimoto's legendary series.

What truly sets this Nendoroid apart is the attention to detail in its accessories and interchangeable parts, allowing collectors to recreate memorable scenes from the anime and manga. The set typically includes multiple face plates capturing Naruto's range of expressions, from his determined battle face to his signature grin, along with his kunai and shuriken for dynamic action poses. Some versions also include effect parts to simulate his famous Rasengan technique, giving fans the ability to display him mid-jutsu with swirling chakra effects attached to his hand. The articulation, though limited by the Nendoroid's small scale, is cleverly engineered so that Naruto can be posed in a variety of dynamic and character-appropriate stances, making each display setup feel fresh and personalized.

This figure appeals not only to longtime Naruto fans but also to Nendoroid collectors who appreciate the line's consistent quality and playful aesthetic across countless anime and game franchises. Packaged in Good Smile Company's typical window-box style packaging, it showcases the figure and accessories clearly, making it an attractive item whether displayed sealed or unboxed on a shelf. As part of a broader lineup that includes other Naruto universe characters like Sasuke and Sakura, this piece works wonderfully as a standalone display or as an anchor to a growing shelf dedicated to the Hidden Leaf Village. For anyone diving into anime figure collecting or looking to celebrate one of shonen's most iconic protagonists, this Nendoroid represents a fun, detailed, and highly poseable tribute to Naruto Uzumaki's enduring legacy.

Great figure, fiddly parts

Love the face plates and poses, but swapping hands took some patience. Still a solid Nendoroid overall.

Fun but delicate

Great value figure, though I worry about the smaller pieces getting lost or damaged over time.
