Good Smile Company has set September 4, 2026 as the ship-out date for its first batch of September products, and the list is heavy on reruns: Nendoroid Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto in their Tokyo Jujutsu High uniforms, Nendoroid Zero Two, and the Marin Kitagawa swimsuit scale figure. If you pre-ordered any of these from a Japanese shop, expect a shipping notice in the second week of September; in our experience US and UK retailers list them in stock two to five weeks after that.

The same day, Good Smile pushed back ten other items, including the entire Miku Hug “Flower Ver.” goods line and Nendoroid yoshikitty.

What ships from September 4

Good Smile’s notice lists 19 products leaving the warehouse from September 4 JST. The figure-collector highlights:

The remaining slots are a Huggy Good Smile Sparxie plushie and eight GSR Racing Miku 2026 souvenir jacket SKUs from 16 directions (MIKU Model and GSR Logo Model, sizes M–XXL).

Good Smile adds its usual caveat that store arrival varies by region and that weather can push things further. In practice, “shipping out September 4” means the factory-to-distributor step. Japanese shops such as AmiAmi and HobbyLink Japan typically mail pre-orders within a week of that; Good Smile US and other overseas distributors receive sea or air freight afterward.

What got delayed

A second notice, also dated August 27, moves ten products:

  • August → September 2026: all eight Hatsune Miku “Miku Hug Series” Flower Ver. goods (the HUGGY DOLL PLUS plushie, T-shirt, hoodie, acrylic stand, photo frame set, clear bag, desk mat and pinback button).
  • September → October 2026: PLAMATEA Hatsune Miku: Happy 16th Birthday Ver. (Max Factory, rerelease).
  • September → November 2026: Nendoroid yoshikitty.

Good Smile attributes the slips to production scheduling; items not on either list have no confirmed date yet.

Why this matters for overseas buyers

Reruns are the story here. The Japanese notice marks Nendoroid Gojo, Geto and Zero Two as second reruns, so demand has outlasted two production runs already. If you have been eyeing resale listings, the restock is the cheaper route: wait for it to reach Amazon US, Good Smile US or your usual specialist shop before paying a markup.

If your pre-order is with a Japanese shop that charges when the item ships, budget for the charge to land mid-September. In our experience, EMS or DHL from Japan reaches the US within 7–14 days, and import duties are collected on delivery in most countries.

For the Miku Hug goods, a one-month slip is minor, but note that these were already August items, so anyone who bundled them with a September figure to save on shipping may now get everything in one box.

How to track your order

We update the Pre-order Radar weekly with deadlines and ship windows; restocked items from this list will move to the “Ships now” section once shops confirm stock. New to buying from Japan? Our launch post explains how we cover pre-orders and what the shipping notes on each article mean.

Most Japanese shops ship worldwide by EMS/DHL (7–14 days). Duties and import taxes are charged on delivery in most countries — check your local threshold before ordering.
