Nendoroid Kanoko Arrives from My Deer Friend Nokotan—Complete With Her Iconic Bottle Terror Face!
Good Smile Company has once again nailed absurd comedy in toy form with their latest entry to the Nendoroid lineup—Kanoko from My Deer Friend Nokotan (Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan)!* Scheduled for release in October 2025 for 7,200 yen (approximately $46 USD), this figure captures Kanoko’s wonderfully weird personality and fear of bottled water in glorious chibi detail.
As someone who’s followed the anime since its explosive trailer drop, I’ve been waiting for this Nendoroid the moment I saw her horrified bottle reaction—and now it’s finally real!
About the Anime: My Deer Friend Nokotan (Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan)
Adapted from the manga by Oshioshio, My Deer Friend Nokotan is the story of Koshiko Torako, a model student hiding her delinquent past. One morning on her way to school, she meets Nokotan, a mysterious girl with actual deer antlers growing from her head.
Cue a sudden descent into high-energy absurdity, slapstick comedy, and deer-themed chaos. Kanoko (Nokotan) brings nothing but trouble, misunderstandings, and surreal school hijinks—including her irrational fear of PET bottles.
What’s in the Box: Nendoroid Kanoko
Standing approximately 100mm (3.9 inches) tall, this figure translates Nokotan’s offbeat personality into an expressive and hilarious chibi-style model. GSC’s attention to detail shines with sculpted school uniform elements, antler parts, and a host of accessories fans will instantly recognize.
Included Features:
- Three faceplates:
- “Calm Face” – for her innocent poker-face moments
- “Smug Face” – when she’s pushing Torako’s buttons
- “Closed-Eye Smile” – a deer caught mid-scheme
- Iconic Props:
- Removable Antlers – yes, they come off!
- Senbei (Deer Biscuit) – a perfect nod to her theme
- PET Bottle Accessory – her mortal enemy
- Low-Cost Animation Kanoko – a mini gag-style version for reaction scene recreations
The inclusion of her “budget animation” panic face is peak meme culture. It’s an accessory you don’t know you need until you hold it in your hand and can’t stop laughing.
