Back in 2019, a Yotsuba&! Nendoroid of Yotsuba Koiwai appeared, and now the figure of the manga character will finally be back in 2026. She’ll return in Japan in February 2026, then later launch again in Q3 2026 worldwide. She’ll cost ￥5,500/$36.99. While it is still possible to find the original at some stores online, she’s far more expensive than expected due to being out of print.
Yotsuba is a bit unusual for one of these types of figures. That’s because she has five face plates with her. They show her when she’s happy, staring blankly, shouting, crying, or extremely joyful. She has her teddy bear Juralumin (Julietta) with her, which has its own stand or can be held by the figure. She also comes with a paintbrush and can of paint. Basically, it’s everything she came with before.
Here are some of the example photos.
This isn’t the only Yotsuba Koiwai Nendoroid out there, as Good Smile Company released a variant in 2023. She appeared in a winter coat for that figure. The Juralumin bear that came with that one was dressed to match her.
2026 marks another notable occasion for Yotsuba&!. Another volume of the manga in which Yotsuba Koiwai, her dad, and her neighbors’ daily lives are on display will debut early next year in English. Yen Press confirmed it will launch volume 16 on January 20, 2026. This comes years after volume 15 debuted in September 2021.
The Yotsuba Koiwai Nendoroid will show up in Japan again in February 2026, then release worldwide in Q3 2026. Pre-orders close on September 17, 2025.
