Pint-size troublemaker
We all love Hades, right? Of course we do, we’re not monsters. But I’m sure you’d agree that for such a cool-looking, stylish game, packed with the hottest cast this side of Asphodel, there is a shocking lack of available merch — Where the hell is my plush Artemis? Still, Good Smile Company is trying to get the boulder rolling, opening pre-orders on a new Nendoroid of Hades’ swoonsville protagonist, Zagreus.
As is typical of the Nendoroid line, the trouble-causing Prince of the Underworld stands a dinky four-inches high, and will also come complete with a selection of fun accessories — including a Bloodstone cast, his trusty Blade of Stygius, his Captain America-esque Shield of Aegis, and a little bottle of nectar to offer Dusa, Than, Nyx, or Good Boy Cerbereus. Zagreus comes packaged with a base, weapon stands, and alternate faceplates, seemingly depicting “grin” and “rogueish grin”.
If you fancy the bad boy (who doesn’t?) for yourself, then you’ll be pleased to know that pre-orders are now live over at the Good Smile Co. website. The Zagreus Nendoroid retails for ¥5,500 (or roughly $55 USD) and is expected to ship toward the very end of 2022. He’s almost a year away! Good Smile Co. will close pre-orders on March 9, so you still have over a month to get your name on the list.
Hopefully, this will kick the Hades merchandising game into gear. Can we get an art book? A Nyx figma? Hell, at this point I’ll even take a pair of three-headed Cerberus slippers. You’re sitting on a gold mine.
