Good Smile Fest 2026 is currently underway at Belle Salle Akihabara in Tokyo, running from June 6 through June 7, 2026. The exhibition serves as a major showcase for Good Smile Company, featuring over 1,000 figures and plastic models. The event includes high-profile reveals, such as the first public prototype of a “Cardcaptor Sakura” figure and new additions to the “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE” Nendoroid line.
What is featured at Good Smile Fest 2026?
The headline attraction at this year’s festival is the debut of a “Sakura Kinomoto” prototype from “Cardcaptor Sakura.” This figure is part of a collaboration with the creative group CLAMP, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2026. According to the event organizers, the exhibit also includes three scale figures based on newly illustrated versions of the character, with one making its world premiere at the venue.
In addition to the “Cardcaptor Sakura” collection, the festival highlights a variety of new releases. Recent updates from the event include the reveal of the “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE” Nendoroid Rapi: Red Hood, produced by Good Smile Arts Shanghai. A scale figure tied to the “Hatsune Miku Symphony 2025 Sapporo” performance is also on display as part of the event’s major reveals.
How can fans attend the event?
Good Smile Fest 2026 is free to the general public and takes place at Belle Salle Akihabara in Chiyoda-ku. The exhibition schedule is set for 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on June 6 and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on June 7.
For fans seeking earlier access, the organizers provided a paid early-entry ticket option for June 5. These tickets, distributed via a lottery system on the official Good Smile Fest website, allowed attendees to view new exhibits and purchase event-exclusive merchandise two hours before the general opening.
What is the scale of the event?
The exhibition is positioned as the company’s largest display of the year. While the event is free, it draws significant crowds; last year’s iteration of the Tokyo exhibition saw approximately 20,000 visitors. Due to the high volume of interest, attendees often queue early to secure access to the latest figures and plastic models.
