Demon Slayer license holder Aniplex and figure maker Good Smile Company just announced new figures for several main characters and Hashira, simultaneously with the end of Season 2 and the reveal of Season 3.
New Demon Slayer figures for Kanroji, Tengen, Nezuko, Daki and Gyutaro explained
Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba, as one of the currently most popular anime in Japan and worldwide, is slowly but surely getting a plethora of new figures. Every main character in Ufotable and Koyoharu Gotouge's shonen anime is getting figures and toys either from Aniplex itself or other manufacturers.
Anime and games figures regularly get new event showcases in Japan, and from February 11 to 13 was held the Wonderful Hobby Life For You!!35 event. While the physical event in itself was canceled due to the pandemic, Aniplex, Good Smile Company, Max Factory and the other usual figure makers still made their announcements.
Moreover, in case you're unfamiliar with the figures industry in Japan, all figures first get a prototype version made by a sculptor. Each time the figure is showcased at events, you'll often notice more and more details have been added. And once the design is finalized, prototypes are painted for the first time by a specialized painter, and only then does the figure's real production starts. That's why some of the figures below are still only in monochrome.

Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui, Daki and Gyutaro new ConoFig Demon Slayer figures revealed
These figures were directly announced by Aniplex + through its Twitter account, with prototypes revealed at showcase events.
ConoFig is a line of figures specifically made by Aniplex +, which is Aniplex's merchandising arm, focusing on smaller but also cheaper figures. These are more accessible to anime fans who aren't necessarily already collecting figures, and it's a great way to start. Additional details like price and release date estimate will be published at a later date.
Aniplex + already released ConoFig line figures for the normal version of Nezuko, Tanjiro, Kocho Shinobu, Giyu Tomioka, Rengoku Kyojuro, and Akaza. The price of each figure always varied between 5000 and 6000 Yen ($43 to $52), so you should expect the new ConoFig figures of Tengen Uzui, Daki, and Gyutaro to cost that much.
Awakened Nezuko new figure revealed
Last but not least, a new figure for the Awakened form of Nezuko was revealed by Aniplex +. This is a premium and high-quality figure with no release date or price announced yet. However, you should expect it to be very expensive. A figure like this is always priced at least 19,000 Yen ($130). Similar premium figures for Tanjiro, Akaza, Rengoku, and other early arcs characters are available on the Aniplex + online shop.
