This Nendoroid of Kizuna Ai comes from Good Smile Company’s Nendoroid Doll line, which features the classic chibi style of other Nendoroid figures, but with a more doll-like body. The figure comes with the doll itself, her top, a pair of hot pants, two pairs of interchangeable hands and boots (with magnets in their soles), a magnetic base, and an articulated stand. This figure is still fully articulated, allowing for a wide range of positions and poses. The figure also recreates Kizuna Ai’s brown flowing hair and bright sparkling eyes. She also wears her iconic bunny ear-shaped headband on top of her head and the black and white ribbon on her shirt, which is colored white, pink, black, and gold. Her matching shorts, detached sleeves, and boots make this figure complete.
