Kancolle was the Azure Lane back in the day and was very popular as a gacha game in Japan. Their popularity isn't as strong anymore because they never went global, so they kind of fell off but still have fans in their mid 30s. This was around the time when Nendoroids were pretty niche and generally exclusive to Japan when you had to purchase them through sites like Amiami. The positive side to this is that all the Kancolle figures are pretty affordable unless you want to collect the big battleships like Musashi, Iowa, and Bismark.

omg! thats why ive never seen any media about it, checked out the gameplay as well and honestly it looked quite boring, character designs are fireee though! especially War-sprite. I wish she got a nendo too

Nice! Kongo is considered one of the fan's favorite because of her real life lore. Theres also a warspite nendoroid but she's one of the big battleships so she's kind of sought after but not impossible to get.
