Soon there will be two characters in the Overwatch Nendoroid collection. Tracer was the first, of course, and coming up next will be the ice cold Mei.
The Mei Nendoroid features her classic skin, and comes with two different face plates, one happy, and one extra happy. Various attachable parts come included as well, and she is fully articulated so you can recreate multiple poses from the game.
The weather drone on her back is detachable and comes with its own stand, plus Mei can pet her little snowball to act out the "Companion" emote. The figure also comes with a transparent sheet which can be placed to recreate Mei's ultimate Blizzard ability.
Mei's Nendoroid is available for pre-order from GoodSmileShop for 4900 yen, which is around $44 / £36. The Tracer figure which was announced back in February is also available for the same price.
