Good Smile Company recently conducted a poll where you could request specific characters in specific figure-forms (as long as what you were requesting was a scaled figure, Nendoroid, or figma). This was for their 10-year anniversary, and it was combined with a re-release poll. They’ve announced the results of the product request poll, and while none of these figures are guaranteed to be produced it’s interesting to see what people wanted the most! Not surprisingly there was a large Vocaaloid showing, and Shin Megami Tensei titles preformed very well. Hit the jump to check out what we might be getting!
- Kaito scored the #1 spot with requests for a scaled figure and a figma
- The most-requested Nendoroid was Holo from Spice & Wolf
- Yosuke Hanamura, Yuu (aka the Persona 4 MC), and Raidou Kuzunoha all had highly-requested figmas
- Vocaloids Akita Neru and Kasane Teto made the list with Nendoroids
- Sakura Kinomoto made the list with a Nendoroid
- Shinji Ikari unsurprisingly had tons of requests for a figma
- Fate/Zero had (seemingly) almost every character make the list in figma form and a few were requested as Nendoroids as well
- Another made the list twice with a Misaka Mei Nendoroid and an Izumi Akazawa scaled figure
- Touhou Project surprisingly only nabbed one of the top spots with a Youmu figma
- Silver from Darker than Black had requests for a figma and a scaled figure
- Archer from Fate/Stay Night made the list as a figma… even though that’s already in the works!
You can check out the full results here, but it seems like the results were dominated by male figures! My most-wished of these is definitely the Raidou figma, and given the popularity of Persona 4 right now I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened. So, which of these would you like to see the most?

There hasn’t been any progress with Figma Archer for over a year now, so I’m not surprised people used to the poll to further demand they do something about it. I wish more scale figure wishes made it to the top of the list though.
I wasn’t surprised that there was a big lack of scaled figures, but I was definitely disappointed. Figmas/Nendos are great and all, but sadly they’re kind of dominating the GSC umbrella’s market.
Rather have Raidou Kuzunoha as a scale figure rather than a Figma. A Sakura Kinomoto Nendoroid would be really cute, though!
Fingers crossed for Raidou happening! Though I’m surprised Hitoshura wasn’t up there, too
I would love a Sakura nendoroid *A* CCS is one of my favorite shows of all time. I’m really surprised about the male figma request. When I filled out the form at the time I did request a Yousuke figma.. XD
I honestly would’ve liked a different series..I mean we have maybe..eh..Im gonna say 10-15 MHS figmas ((If you Include Yuki’s witch version, Haruhi’s cheerleader outfit etc etc) and GOD KNOWS HOW MANY FATE/ZERO ONES BECAUSE I HONESTLY DON’T NEED 6 FUCKING VERSIONS OF SABER THANK YOU VERY MUCH..Honestly, Goodsmile should try to reach out to more series. If you can make such figmas from Nintendo games and Bruce Lee ((Which was recently announced as a 2013 figma btw)) Im pretty sure making a say, Durarara or Soul eater set wouldn’t be that hard. Even D-Arts is kicking up their game recently with their Persona and Megaman figures. Square-Arts have become..less interesting for me since they’re just grabbing and releasing whatever they feel like now. I used to love collecting them up until they started making the Street Fighter and Halo sets.
Regardless, I’m actually abit excited about the Kaito and Miku figmas being made which makes me think that maybe Goodsmile might be re-releasing Rin and Len figmas?
*Wink-wink and slips money into Goodsmiles pocket*))
I wish they would make a figma Noel Vermillion from the Blazblue games. It would make for a good one…
Teto figure please!!!
I would love Hetalia Beautiful world figmas,such as Prussia,Romano or Spain,plus it would be great to have more boy figmas. 😀
Sooooo…nothing interesting then. Pity.
Oh so this is what helped us get a Sakura nendo. Yay. <3
Just checking in to leave a sad comment about no Holo nendo. 😐
Oh the things that could’ve been.
