#chocobo studio

It has come to my attention that some of the merchandise coming out for this series isn't getting the hype it deserves, so I thought I would share some of the pre-orders I have already thrown money at.

I have decided to showcase these in order of price range.

(I will also be sure to separately review the items once I have received them)

GOODSMILE - Nendoroid Figures

The Kiryu Kazuma and Kasuga Ichiban figures are due to be released in October 2025.

As with all Nendoroid figures both come with several faceplates and accessories for dynamic posing. Kiryu has options such as, a cigarette, a traffic cone and a microphone to go with his singing face.

Ichiban on the other hand comes with his baseball bat, a smartphone and a Staminan X bottle. He also has extra pieces to pose him with his hands away inside his pockets.

DIGSTA - Taiga Saejima PVC Statue

It came to my attention that hardly anyone is talking about this release, so I figured I would.

Due for release at the end of October 2025 to coincide with the rerelease of the Goro Majima statue.

This Saejima appears to be from the standard clothed series. I am personally hoping that they will make a "Fierce Battle variant" in the future, so that he can proudly show of his Irezumi along with the others in my collection.

KOTOBUKIYA - Kiryu Kazuma Statue

Spooky month is apparently also the Month for Yakuza Merch as this is also due in October 2025.

Love the attention to detail on the statue, including the base that is made to resemble to roads of Kamurocho.

I especially love that his base is minimal; A lot of statues I've seen lately have opted for unnecessarily large bases that take up way too much space in a display case.

It also seems based on recent promotional images, that although they don't physically fit together and attach, the future Majima statue will also be able to pose with the Kiryu one.

CHOCOBO STUDIOS - Kiryu Kazuma (Yakuza 0)

Due for release by the End of the Year, with two options available for pre-order. I opted for the classic white suit but there is the alternative option of his Black suit as seen in the beginning of the game.

Although Chocobo Studio offers a few different Kiryu's from various games, I really wanted his younger look as it is rarely in the limelight.

The statue is made of PU and Resin and is 1/6 Scale.

CHOCOBO STUDIOS - Majima Goro (Yakuza 0)

Due for release by the End of the Year, I missed out on the original 2023 release but he is being reissued this year and so I have jumped at the chance to have him in my collection.

In his Cabaret Grand manager outfit from Yakuza 0, I look forward to receiving and reviewing him as if the promotional images are anything to go by, I will have a lot of details to take note of.

The statue is made of PU and Resin and is 1/6 Scale.

the current state of the majima shelf i need to readjust my shelves at some point (and maybe redo them entirely with better fabric) because yakuza 0 majima juuuust barely fits height-wise

I have just pre-ordered the "CHOCOBO Studio" 1/6 Goro Majima.

I find it odd that they decided not to list the statue as Goromi, but we know the lore.

The listing for the figure has the release date as Q4 2024-Q1 2025, but I think they must have got the years mixed up. Either way we should be expecting her to arrive sometime between October 2025 and March 2026!
