POP UP PARADE Gon Freecss L Size (Hunter x Hunter) by Good Smile — Scale-Figure-Level Detail at 20cm, Pre-Orders Open!
Good Smile Company has opened pre-orders for POP UP PARADE Gon Freecss L Size, the latest figure release from the all-time-classic shonen series Hunter x Hunter (HUNTER×HUNTER). The 12-year-old protagonist who started Yoshihiro Togashi’s epic adventure joins the POP UP PARADE L Size line — Good Smile’s premium-tier variant — for an October 2026 release.
The L size hook: Good Smile markets this tier as “scale-figure-level satisfaction” — at 200mm (about 20cm), this Gon is built with the kind of paint and sculpt density typically reserved for 1/7 scale figures, but priced and released at POP UP PARADE accessibility. Sculpted by MRScapsule (the same studio behind the recent POP UP PARADE Gen Narumi from Kaiju No. 8), the figure captures Gon mid-stride with his trademark fishing rod ready.
If you’re an overseas Hunter x Hunter fan looking to pre-order this figure with worldwide shipping from Japan, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Who is Gon Freecss? — The Heart of Hunter x Hunter
For new readers and anime-only fans: Gon Freecss is the 12-year-old protagonist of Hunter x Hunter, a boy from Whale Island who sets out to find his absent father — Ging Freecss, a legendary Hunter — by becoming a Hunter himself. His journey across the Hunter Exam, Heavens Arena, Yorknew City, Greed Island, and Chimera Ant arcs forms the backbone of one of the most-acclaimed shonen manga ever published.
Gon’s defining traits — boundless optimism, raw athletic ability, and an almost supernatural intuition — make him one of the most beloved shonen leads of all time. Alongside his best friend Killua Zoldyck, sniper-medic Kurapika, and aspiring doctor Leorio, Gon’s quest has shaped a generation of shonen storytelling. The 2011 Madhouse anime adaptation (148 episodes) introduced the series to most international fans, and the manga’s announced return in 2024 reignited global interest.
This POP UP PARADE L Size release captures Gon in his iconic green Hunter outfit, fishing rod in hand — the visual signature he’s carried since the very first chapter.
Figure Highlights
POP UP PARADE L Size is Good Smile Company’s premium-tier extension of the standard POP UP PARADE line. Where the standard line targets accessibility at 17–18cm, the L Size variant pushes proportions to 20–27cm with denser paint applications and more elaborate sculpts — the brand promise being “satisfaction at scale-figure-level” without the scale-figure premium.
Key sculpting points:
- 20cm display height — significantly bigger shelf presence than standard POP UP PARADE Hunter x Hunter releases
- Anime-accurate facial sculpt by MRScapsule capturing Gon’s confident wide-eyed expression
- Detailed paintwork on the green Hunter outfit, fishing rod, and signature spiky hair
- Stable dedicated base allowing display without external supports — and pairs naturally with future POP UP PARADE Killua / Kurapika / Leorio releases for a full team display
