There's perhaps no greater asset to Genshin Impact than its ever-growing roster of unique characters. Each character is uniquely designed to have their own look and personality, as well as an Ascension-based progression of talents and attributes. Part of why Genshin Impact's characters are so beloved also has to do with how frustrating it is to acquire them in the first place, due to the game's gacha mechanics. Now players have another option, with a new wave of Genshin Impact Nendoroid figures recently being announced.

As part of the ongoing Wonderful Hobby Life For You 33, or WonHobby, exhibition a variety of new statues, figures, models, and more have been revealed. Many of those reveals are those from Good Smile Company's Nendoroid line of figures, which offer a sort of half-chibi style of high quality yet affordable figure. In the new Nendoroid figure reveals, three Genshin Impact characters were confirmed. Aether, Lumine, and Venti will be receiving figures in the relatively near future.

Both Aether and Lumine have previously been announced by the Good Smile Company during the WonHobby 32 exhibition. These two characters were previously only shown in concept, however, and the new reveal shows their unpainted figures. Venti is a completely new announcement, which explains why his figure isn't complete yet. However, his concept art provides a good look at what the final figure should look like.

Funnily enough, neither Aether, Lumine, nor Venti are particularly popular Genshin Impact characters. That's despite Aether and Lumine representing the player character and Venti being one of the game's earliest major characters. A recent poll published in April had characters including Klee, Ganyu, Tartaglia, and Zhongli as Genshin Impact players' favorites. The three Nendo characters weren't part of the top ten. The figures are all but certain to still be successful, however, given the success of Genshin Impact.

The reason that these three characters were chosen isn't clear, but can probably be assumed. Figures take a long time to come into production, so Aether, Lumine, and Venti were probably chosen well before anyone knew who would be popular in Genshin Impact. Their vital role in the game's story and familiarity with players was certain to be a factor as well.

Pre-orders for the Genshin Impact Nendoroids have yet to open. Aether and Lumine still need finalized painting and Venti's model is still being worked on, after all. However, Good Smile Company moves fast on Nendoroid production these days. Expect further updates on the Android in the next several months.

Genshin Impact is available on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices.
