Nendoroid Jack Frost is Next on Production?

Nendoroid and figma listing

Well, it is probably not a new info, as Nendoroid Jack Frost‘s name has been mentioned in last summer WonFes, and our Release Schedule page has already had Jack Frost in the record as well. But there was no official confirmation (or re-confirmation) from GSC about it.

A snapshot of recent Nendoroid and figma listing revealed another mention of the cute Persona from Persona 3 there. So … would Jack Frost enter Nendoroid world soon? Let’s wait for a good answer from GSC. ^^

Are you interested to get him, Nendonesian? ^^

Starting today, Good Smile Cafe transforms into Panty and Stocking Cafe for a month.

Custom Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (Neko Costume version)

Custom Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (Neko Cosplay version)

Back then on April last year, there is a commercial of Lotte ACUO gum which features Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu‘s characters. The complete story of the commercial is as follow:

The commercial has Ikuta Toma (an actor) chewing Acuo gum when he spies an item that is sold out at a boutique. When he blows his “nice breath” onto the boutique clerk, she transforms into Asahina Mikuru. The boutique manager comes over to scold Ikuta for “turning people into anime characters.” Ikuta says “Suimasen” (“I’m sorry”) with his fresh breath, and the manager turns into Suzumiya Haruhi. Confused, Ikuta runs out of the store and runs into alley cats … who all transform into Nagato Yuki.

And this certain neko costume version of Nagato are re-created in Nendoroid form by a Japanese Nendoroid fan. More pics of Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (neko costume version) after the break. ^^

Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter

Actually, I wanted to write up a review for Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter, but I thought that everyone has already purchased her. So … after a being kinda ignored for a while (sorry, BRS-chan ^^), I decided to take her for a quick (albeit short) photo session a few days ago. ^^

Custom Nendoroid Ika Musume

Well, it seems that there are a lot of attempts from Ika Musume fans to create Nendoroid version of this cute squid girl. And here is another custom Nendoroid Ika Musume made by a fan named seaman_aki. Yep, it is still unfinished, but IMHO the sculpting looks pretty good. More “development” pics after the break. ^^

Nendoroid Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Prototype (Updated)

Nendoroid Panty and Stocking

So you have been waiting for the heroines duo from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt? Well, it seems that Nendoroid Panty and Stocking will become official soon, as their prototype photo has popped up at Gainax’ website. Whoa … they look slightly different compared to other Nendoroid in general, especially their longer arms and legs. I wonder if the face plates would be compatible with other Nendoroid – hopefully so. ^^

Anyway, aside from the photo, Gainax also announced that they will held an event – Panty & Stocking Cafe – on January 12 at Good Smile Cafe. I think they will announce this pair officially there, probably along with the completely-painted Nendoroid. ^^

Are you thinking of getting either (or both) of them, Nendonesian? ^^

UPDATE: Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt CAFE promo banner

Nendoroid Panty and Stocking are mentioned there! Will we see them fully-painted!?
