GOODSMILE COMPANY Reveals Nendoroid Hibari Kyoya 2.0 from Reborn!
Japanese figure manufacturer GOODSMILE COMPANY continues expanding its highly popular Nendoroid series, now introducing a fully renewed version of the beloved character Hibari Kyoya from the anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn! This upgraded 2.0 edition is scheduled for release in January 2026, priced at 6,500 yen (approximately $42 USD).
About Hibari Kyoya: The Fearsome Cloud Guardian
In Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Hibari Kyoya serves as the head of the Disciplinary Committee at Namimori Middle School. Although his methods are often extreme, he maintains strict order and holds great pride in his school—so much so that the school’s anthem is even his phone ringtone. While both students and locals fear him, they equally respect his strength and protective instincts.
Recognizing Hibari’s powerful abilities and self-reliant nature, Reborn selects him as the Cloud Guardian of the Vongola Family, playing a crucial role during the Future Arc and beyond.
As a longtime fan of the series, I must say: seeing Hibari receive a 2.0 update after so many years feels incredibly rewarding. His cool yet stoic personality remains one of my favorite aspects of Reborn!.
Design and Special Features
Standing approximately 10 cm tall (around 3.9 inches), this new 2.0 version faithfully captures Hibari’s Future Arc appearance, blending the Nendoroid’s signature chibi proportions with refined details:
- Upgraded Face Sculpt:
The facial print has been updated to better reflect Hibari’s mature and calm demeanor, offering a more accurate representation compared to the previous version. - Three Faceplates Included:
- Calm smile
- Blank neutral expression
- Slightly displeased expression
- Signature Accessories:
The set includes his signature tonfas (batons), necklace, and adorable Hibird (Kusuo) perched alongside him. The tonfas can also be equipped with Cloud Flame effect parts for dynamic combat poses. - Additional Exclusive Bonus:
Customers who pre-order through the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will receive Arnold’s Handcuffs, representing the first Cloud Guardian’s most powerful weapon.
As someone who’s owned the original release, I appreciate the improvements made to the sculpt and articulation. The flame effects give so much more presence to his battle stances, and Hibird’s inclusion is always a cute touch for any Reborn collector.
