Kotobukiya opens KOF XV Nakoruru figure preorders through July 21, with a shop bonus face part

This preorder is easier to read as practical hobby shopping news than as a pure character-goods teaser.

What the official pages already confirm

Kotobukiya’s product page already gives the important basics in one place: ¥22,000, a December 2026 release target, 1/8 scale and a total height of roughly 250 mm. That immediately makes the item easier to judge than a simple announcement with only promo images.

Because those numbers are already public, the early question is not whether the figure is real or when more details might appear. The useful question is whether this size-and-price balance matches the kind of KOF shelf piece you were hoping for.

Why the Kotobukiya Shop bonus matters

The official shop listing adds a bonus face part, which changes the reading of the preorder a little. It is no longer just about the base figure; the official route now has a clear perk attached to it.

That matters because the best route is not automatically the first route you see. The bonus may be worth it for some collectors, while others may care more about total cost, shipping convenience or the chance of a trusted hobby retailer offering a later listing.

The checklist to settle before ordering

The deadline is clearly marked as July 21, which means the main job now is comparison rather than waiting for a vague future update. Check the total landed cost, whether your preferred forwarding or direct-shipping option is comfortable and how much the bonus part really matters to you.

That keeps the story reader-first. Instead of pushing speculation, the useful reading today is simple: official deadline, official size, official price and an official-shop bonus, all in a form that lets collectors make a calmer preorder decision.
