Detective Conan - Nendoroid
Detective Conan began as a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama. It follows a prodigy detective known as Shinichi Kudo who was shrunk into a child's body due to poison. In order to hide from his would-be killers, he takes on the name of Conan Edogawa and operates out of his friend's father's detective agency to search for the people who shrank him all while protecting his real identity.
Initially beginning serialization in Weekly Shōnen Sunday in 1994, the universe of Detective Conan has since been adapted into a staggering 897-episode anime series that aired from 1996 to 2018. In addition, it has also had 19 Golden Week movies made in the series once a year since 1997. On top of that, 17 Original Video Animations (OVAs) (five of which were Magic Files related to the movies) have also been released.
History of Detective Conan and Nendoroid
The first Nendoroids in the series began production in 2018 and has introduced five of its characters as of January 2020.

#803 Conan Edogawa
Conan Edogawa is the protagonist of the Detective Conan series. He was originally known as Shinichi Kudo, though he changed his name to hide his identity after a poison made him 10 years younger. He is a genius detective whose goal is to hunt down the Black Organization. Conan is very smart but sometimes forgets to act how his appearance shows causing some of the people around him to suspect his identity. Around his younger friends, he shows off his intelligence more as they are more accepting of his mature attitude. While around adults and policemen he acts childish as though he coincidentally found a clue to help the investigation without realizing it.

#821 Heiji Hattori
Heiji Hattori is an ally to Conan and was the first person to realize Conan's true identity. He is a high-school detective from Osaka and is a big fan of the local Osaka baseball team. Heiji wanted to be the best detective and considered himself Shinichi Kudo’s rival as he had heard about his reputation. He is known as “The Great Detective of the West” while Shinichi is known as “The Great Detective of the East” so he wanted to know who would be number one. After finding out Conan’s true identity he became a good friend and they often team up to work on cases.
