The hugely popular Witcher 3 continues to print money for CD Projekt, the studio now listed as the most valuable video game company in Europe. The success of the game has led to all kinds of merch, and the latest is a cute looking figure of Yennefer.
The Witcher 3 marked a huge turning point for the franchise, and players could not get enough of the story of Geralt of Rivia. Fans still talk about The Witcher 3's influence on gaming. With its huge game world that feels fully alive, players could easily get lost in its gorgeous medieval world.
The characters in the game add to that living, breathing world and the popular Yennefer of Vengerberg has now been immortalized in Nendoroid form. The chibi figure is somewhat customizable, coming with a default stoic facial expression that can be swapped for a "talking expression" to show off "her more diplomatic side." The figure can strike a number of poses thanks to movable parts, and includes optional pieces to accent her look. She retails for￥5,200(approx. $48 USD).
Yennefer is intrinsically linked to Geralt and has followed him from The Witcher 3 to the Netflix TV series, where the cast list continues to grow for season 2 of the popular show. The unexpected hit for Netflix proving that the franchise can attract even more fans to its wonderful world.
The series might be somewhat responsible for renewed interest in The Witcher 3, as the game recently passed a huge sales milestone. With such incredible sales, it's no surprise that the characters from the game are being given the Nendoroid treatment. A western-produced game has to have a pretty big cultural influence for Nendoroid maker Good Smile Company to take notice.
Yennefer is available for pre-order now until July 16th from GoodSMILE.
