Nendoroid Noumi Kudryavka: Black version?

It is just a matter of hours before the awaited Winter Wonder Festival 2011 begin, and the first Nendoroid has been leaked. It is Nendoroid Noumi Kudryavka: Black version, made by Gift. So far, the noticable differences are the color of her clothes, her expression, and her dog. No further info is seen on her display card though, but we would probably see more later. ^^

Nendoroid Guma-ko

Tomorrow, we will (obviously) see a lot of new Nendoroid at GSC’s WonFes booth. I am pretty sure that it would be a really exciting Sunday … but let’s have a brief moment to take a look back at some yet-to-be-announced Nendoroid from last year’s Wonder Festival – both winter and summer.

Here they are. ^^

UPDATE: The glossy haired Hachune Miku is actually a Chogokin Hachune Miku. (Thanks for the correction, Yunamon! ^^)
Anyway, there is a another pic of Mikumix and new pic of Nendoroid Gumako – see it at the end of the post. ^^

Luka-tachi!

Note: Pardon me for having figma Megurine Luka inside the photo … IMHO it feels incomplete for Luka-tachi without her ^^

Yeah … I know that it’s (almost) one-week past Megurine Luka‘s birthday on January 30. I did snapped a few photos at her birthday party on that day though, but I did not have any chance to post them – with so many pre-WonFes Nendoroid news storming recently. ^^;

In any case, see the photos of her birthday party after the break. ^^

Nendoroid Calendar 2011

Mikatan posted an article about some goodies that would be given away at the upcoming WonFes – which is scheduled to be held on Sunday. The Nendoroid Calendar is one item that caught my attention, other than the Nendoroid Listing poster. Apparently, those goodies would be given away for free if you visit GSC booth on the WonFes, although the stock is pretty limited too. In any case, visit Mikatan’s blog for more pics and info on the goodies. ^^
