Sakura Haruno is the main female character in the Naruto anime/manga series, and one of the most recognizable modern shonen heroines. Now, a new collectible is being released that showcases the happy youth of the young lady before she became a medical kunoichi.
GEM Series NARUTO – Sakura Haruno GO! is the latest entry in a line by MegaHobby that features Naruto characters as children. Reimagining Sakura’s iconic design from the original series, the collectible is a must-have for those wanting to celebrate the legacy of Team 7 from beginning to end. Releasing by the middle of the year, fans can order Sakura now to display alongside two other childish figures for Konoha ninja.

Young Sakura Blooms in New Naruto Collector’s Figure
Part of the GO! series by MegaHobby, the Sakura Haruno GO! figurine has a younger take on the ninja jumping gleefully into the air. Her outfit is similar to what she wears in the first half of the Naruto anime and manga, but with one major exception. She wears a simple red bow in her hair instead of the ninja headband that she uses for the same purpose when she’s older. Given this and her general size/appearance, she’s clearly younger than when fans met her at the beginning of the series. Holding her hands close to her smiling face, Sakura also comes with a stand that showcases some nearby terrain in the Konoha Village, although the bench and shrubbery are largely out of scale with her.
Sakura is the third figure in the GO! series so far, and the concept behind it is similar to the “Run Run Run” collection featuring characters from One Piece. Like that toy line, the characters involved are portrayed as children, though their overall designs still heavily resemble their older incarnations. The preceding two figures are Naruto and Sasuke, with Sakura’s inclusion in the line completing the GO! lineup for Naruto‘s iconic Team 7 ninjas. Sakura can now be pre-ordered through the MegaHobby website for 8,800 yen (~US$56), with the figurine expected to be released in June 2025. Meanwhile, Naruto’s figure from the same series will be out in January, while Sasuke is being released in May. With the many other Sakura Haruno figures out there, fans should definitely look to complete their collection with MegaHobby’s younger incarnation of the character.
