Nendoroid Kaname Madoka Spotted on Mikatan’s Desk (Updated)

Nendoroid Kaname Madoka

Well well … what do we have here? Apparently, a pic of Nendoroid Kaname Madoka from Puella Magi Madoka Magika has been tweeted by Mikatan just now, and it looks like a hint that she is going to preview her soon … or rather, tomorrow. Her expression and pose looks kinda cute, and as usual, GSC’s attention to details is amazing, e.g her sketch-like pattern on her eyes that resembles her eyes drawing/design from the anime. ^^

Anyway, let’s see how it turns out tomorrow, Nendonesian. ^^

UPDATE: Mikatan has announced that Nendoroid Kaname Madoka would be available for pre-order starting on April 28 (correct me if I am wrong – see the blog for the official announcement in Japanese).

Mikatan even swapped their heads with Miku, Rin, and Luka for even more adorable pose of Vocaloid members wearing yukata. ^^

Well then, kindly visit Mikatan’s blog for more pics and don’t forget that they are already available for pre-order starting today, Nendonesian. ^^

The second Nendoroid from Steins;Gate series has finally arrived on Mikatan’s desk. The cute Nendoroid Shiina Mayuri was last seen on a magazine scan since she was introduced at the Winter WonFes back then on February.

Nendoroid Stocking's packaging

Yes, the pic you see above is the box of Nendoroid Stocking – along with Nendoroid Kuroneko‘s and Nendoroid Petit B.G.M Festival set‘s behind it. Whoa … it is pretty fast though, considering it is still 2 months ahead her official release schedule in June. I guess the next Nendoroid from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt – Nendoroid Panty – would have her box revealed soon as well. ^^

Nendoroid 129: Hatsune Miku – Absolute HMO Edition

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition

Before we get into the review, let’s see a little background info concerning where the term “HMO” came from. Firstly, HMO was initially used by a composer nicknamed “HMO tokanonakanohito“. He is a composer of Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO), a leading Japanese electropop band. He released a music CD titled “Hatsune Miku Orchestra” with an illustration of Hatsune Miku (drawn by manga artist Kuu) at the jacket. Here’s how it looks like:

Hatsune Miku Orchestra CD

This version of Hatsune Miku design is gaining popularity in Miku fandom, so it is only natural for her to get a Nendoroid rendetion by GSC, officially titled: Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition. ^^

Now that you know (at least a little) about HMO, let’s dive directly into the review, shall we? ^^
