Jan6 by animaster

About page on Mikatan's English blog

It seems that GSC staff Mikatan started the new year with a new home for her English blog. Yep, previously her English blog is located at http://ameblo.jp/gsc-mikatan-e, and now it has moved to WordPress.com or to be precise: http://gscmikatan.wordpress.com. I guess this move is really effective to gain more international readers, considering how big WordPress.com as a globally popular blogging platform, not to mention that hosting a normal blog at WordPress.com is free of charge. ^^

Black Rock Shooter: Nendonesia’s Best Nendoroid for 2010

Jan5 by animaster

Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter is kinda nervous in front of the camera

We have closed the poll for Nendonesia’s best Nendoroid of 2010 which had been running for a week and participated by 165 Nendonesians. Yep, I think you can already guess the winner: Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter. The cannon-wielder swordwoman win by quite some margin – the runner up only got less then 50% of her votes. ^^;

Anyway, here is complete listing of the ten nominee:

Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter – 49 votes (30%)
Nendoroid Nakano Azusa – 21 votes (13%)
Nendoroid Amano Tooko – 20 votes (12%)
Nendoroid Snow Miku – 20 votes (12%)
Nendoroid Saber: Super Movable Edition – 19 votes (12%)
Nendoroid Remilia Scarlet – 9 votes (5%)
Nendoroid Sherlock Shellinford (Sharo) – 8 votes (5%)
Nendoroid Minami Chiaki – 5 votes (3%)
Nendoroid Kochiya Sanae – 4 votes (2%)
Nendoroid Izayoi Sakuya – 3 votes (2%)

Well, 2010 is really the year of Black Rock Shooter, so it is not a shocking result. Nendoroid BRS looks like a complete bargain – 3500 Yen (or less, if you get the discounted one) for a bunch of body parts, accessories, and bundled DVD of the OVA. So … congratulations, BRS-chan! You deserved the Nendonesia’s Best Nendoroid 2010 award. (≧∇≦)/

Anyway, there are 7 of you who opted for “Others”, and I wonder what your fave Nendoroid are. Care to share it in the comments? What do you think about the polling result, Nendonesian? ^^

Solution for Nendoroid Hinagiku’s Face Plate Issue?

Jan4 by animaster

Face-plate-attaching problem on Nendoroid Katsura Hinagiku

It seems that many customers who purchased Nendoroid Katsura Hinagiku are complaining about difficulty on attaching/detaching the face plate off Hinagiku’s head. Yukiwo Ageta has just proposed a solution which might be able to solve that issue. Here is the translated tweet of Ageta-san:

If you buy from daisy Nendoroid, many voices will be asked to do difficult and tight face recombination. Because I like a harder material itself. Please try and hand-painted cream and toothpick grooves to receive portions of the ribs of the face. Much easier.

Yeah, I know that the translation is kinda messy, but I think I can get the general idea. Basically we simply need to smear some kind of hand lotion to a toothpick and put it on the plug holes at Hinagiku’s head, so that the face plate could slide into the head easily.

I have not received my ordered Nendoroid Katsura Hinagiku yet, so I cannot confirm that Ageta-san’s solution would work. For you who have played with Hinagiku and got this problem, well, now you know how to fix it. ^^

Also, I apologize for the photo quality.
Since my photography skill already suck to begin with. So go ahead, please blame my shitty equipment :p

I actually already got this Nendoroid for a long time ago, decided to put her in overprice tag because I don’t wanna her get sold, if someone eventually buy it, oh well… (But as I expected, no one insterested :D)

Anyway, Usa Mimi (her full name mean: Rabbit Ear, btw :p) Is a character from Kodomo no Jikan. She’s one of the trio “little rascal”, the other two are Kokonoe Rin and Kagami Kuro. Rin and Kuro already released, so Mimi is the last one.
