A Nendoroid of the character Ruri Aoki from the manga RuriDragon was revealed by creator Masaoki Shindo on his Twitter/X account.
The post included a painted prototype where Ruri is wearing her school uniform consisting of a slate blue sweater vest over a white long-sleeved shirt and blue tie with a plaid skirt. On her head are two grey dragon horns which protrude from beneath her shoulder length hair.
Nendoroid is a product line from Good Smile Company where characters are modeled in a “chibi” format with oversized heads and small bodies. These unique dimensions allow for figures to have interchangeable faces and accessories, create fun poses for collectors to enjoy and display.
Details regarding a release date or price were not provided.
Ruri Aoki is just like any other young girl, except that she wakes up one morning with a pair of dragon’s horns on her head! Once boring days at school have turned Ruri into the centre of attention as she struggles to understand why she’s half-human half-dragon!
RuriDragon initially appeared as a one-shot in Shueisha’s Jump Giga magazine, then began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump No. 26 on June 13th, 2022. It endured a two-year hiatus while Shindo addressed unspecified health concerns; the manga resumed serialization on March 2nd, 2024 in Weekly Shonen Jump before transitioning to the digital edition of Weekly Shonen Jump and Shonen Jump+. VIZ Media publishes the manga in both digital and print versions for the North American market.
