Raihan Nendoroid pre-orders open for 2022 release

The Gym Leaders of Sword and Shield's Galar region have quickly become fan favourites, and so it's no surprise that Good Smile Company would seek to capitalize on that with their latest Nendoroid, Raihan, the Dragon type Gym Leader of Hammerlocke.

As typical for Pokémon Nendoroids, Raihan comes with a number of accessories, including multiple face places, and both horizontal and vertically orientated Rotom phones. Raihan is also accompanied by a suitably chibified version of his partner Pokémon, Duraludon, which has some limited posibility with its legs, arms, and mouth.

Good Smile Company won't be shipping Raihan until January 2022, however you can pre-order him right now either directly from Good Smile Company's own online store, or through a number of their stockists. Prices are varying significantly from retailer to retailer by as much as ¥1000 JPY, but all up you can probably expect to pay between $50-70 USD, plus shipping.

Raihan follows hot on the heals of the announcement of a Marnie Nendoroid earlier this year. Though no announcements have been made as of yet, the continuing popularity of this Nendoroid line leaves us hopeful that other fan favourite gym leaders such as Nessa might receive their own Nendoroid releases in the future.
