    Notice Regarding Change in Nendoroid and Nendoroid [Basic] Packaging Design|Good Smile Company
    
    div#notice-1 > p,div#notice-1 > center{ letter-spacing: 0em; line-height: 1.5; } Thank you for your continued support of Good Smile Company products. This is to inform you about the upcoming change in package design and package size for Nendoroids. Affected Brands Nendoroid, Nendoroid [Basic] Affected Products Nendoroid and Nendoroid [Basic] products listed below and certain Nendoroid and Nendoroid [Basic] products that will be shipped after the listed products. ● Nendoroid Kano Yamanouchi [Basic] ● Nendoroid Kurisu Makise 2.0 ● Nendoroid Taiga Aisaka 2.0 ● Nendoroid Yoko 2.0 Nendoroid and Nendoroid [Basic] products shipped after the above items will gradually adopt the new packaging design. Please note that not all products will be affected by this change. Thank you for your understanding. Changes The new compact packaging will reduce the usage of plastic that was adopted for the original blister packaging design. A portion of the new paper packaging can be used as a parts storage case. Reason for Change As part of our efforts to reduce plastic waste, we have decided to renew our packaging design. The change in packaging will reduce our plastic consumption by up to 84% as compared to the original design. Important Notes ● As the new package design will be adopted gradually, a temporary mix of new and old packaging may occur. ● Please note that we will not be able to respond to inquiries about if an order will be shipped with the old or new packaging. ● Batches of the same product (identical character/identical product number) that are shipped at the same time will not contain different packaging. ● For rereleased products, please note that the same product (identical character/identical product number) may contain a mix of old and new packaging. (1*) ● Please note that due to the size limitation of the new packaging, certain products may require assembly upon delivery depending on the design. (2*) (1*) Example: products from the original run in November 2023 containing the old packaging, while the November 2024 rereleased version contains the new packaging. (2*) Products such as Nendoroid Yoko 2.0, Hatsune Miku series Nendoroids, etc. where there are joint parts included in the head parts. Such products will require assembly for the head and hair parts. To prevent the shrinkage of the joints, a spare joint (for head parts) will be added. Good Smile Company aims to continue to renew the Nendoroid series to make it more user-friendly for all. Additionally, through environmentally conscious product development, we are committed to contributing to the realization of a sustainable society. Plans to renew the support arm, base and joint designs for Nendoroid series products are also in the works. Once the details of the new designs have been finalized, we will inform you via the Good Smile Company Online Store and other channels. We hope you will find this information helpful and thank you for your continued support of our products. Good Smile Company

  @puniko@mk.absturztau.be I've actually got two opinions about this.
  
  First: This is a good change because people will actually take their NendoRoids out of the packaging to enjoy them now instead of just keeping them displayed inside the packaging for "collectors value".
  
  Second: My brother in christ, the entire figure is made out of plastic, your company sells 100% plastic. Saying "reduce plastic consumption by 84%" makes it sound much better than it really is when you forget that the actual product itself is also 100% plastic and not just the packaging. This is a bullshit change on a product that inherently not ecofriendly.

  @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Also more philosophical.
  
  If there are people who like to your product while keeping it inside of the packaging, then maybe the packaging is part of the product and should not be considered a disposable?
  
  In that case you're not actually reducing waste?

  @SuperDicq @puniko Something being plastic is not necessarily a problem as long as it lasts for several years at least.
  
  Nendoroids are generally kept for years and then resold rather than thrown out and the volume of plastic in each figure is small.
  
  They could have just changed the packaging to cardboard plus a cellophane window, but of course not.

  @puniko@mk.absturztau.be In extreme cases this "eco-friendly" packaging could actually result in more waste, not less.
  
  Because people are more likely to throw away the paper packaging, while they are more likely to keep the plastic packaging (not considering it waste, aka reducing waste).

  @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Or you know, at least print a graphic or picture of the product on the box?
  
  Now retailers are going to have a stockroom full of identical white boxes with no clear visual indicators of what the product is inside. That sounds like actual hell.

  @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Or do they really insist on Nendoroid figures just being a gacha game now?

  @captain_arepa@moar.cachapa.xyz @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Personally I'm not into Nendoroids at all. I do not like chibi style figures, I very heavily prefer collecting actual figures with accurate proportions and scale much more.

  @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Still costs energy to recycle. There's a reason why "recycle" is last on the three Rs.

  @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo :blobcatgooglyshrug: it costs a lot less energy to recycle paper than to recycle plastic. let alone that energy used to recycle things is a lot less wasted than energy to burn waste isnt it. sorry, but paper waste is simply the better form of waste than plastic waste

  @puniko@mk.absturztau.be But if you don't throw away the plastic packaging it isn't waste, so it is "reduce" which is better than "recycle".

  @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo well the nendo case is a pretty niche one when it comes to plastic packaging, isnt it :blobcatgooglyshrug:

  @SuperDicq I mean, the figures are spot on when what you want is figures of dolls.

  @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com Good point, I think in the case of Rozen Maiden it kinda works pretty well.
