Miku Support Saga: Indonesia is Available; Credit Card Transaction Error

Indonesia is available in the shippable country list

Rejoice, Nendonesian! Indonesia is finally available in the Shippable Country list at Good Smile Online Shop (my eyes is full of tears now). Thanks for all of your support, Nendonesian! ( ╥ ﹏╥)

So … does that mean that we can start to order Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Support version to be shipped to Indonesia!? Well … sadly, no, not yet, because it seems that GSC is currently having some credit card transaction problems that made them to suspend incoming orders temporarily.

At least they have decided to include Indonesia in the list, so we can make our order later, as soon as the credit card issue is resolved. ^^

What do you think, Nendonesian?

Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2011 version

After getting all the hype and buzz last week, Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2011 version finally arrived at Mikatan’s office to get the preview photo session treatment. Apparently, the Racing Miku will bring along some interesting optional parts, such as closed and opened parasols, a NendoroCar (that’s what Mikatan called it ^^), a second “embarrassed” expression (kinda tsundere-like, reminds me of Kirino’s), as well as some optional body parts.

Anyway, kindly visit Mikatan’s blog for further details and more pics of the adorable Racing Miku. ^^

Nendoroid 128: Dead Master

Nendoroid Dead Master

You may wonder why I do a review of Nendoroid Dead Master (DM) now. Yes, she is supposed to be getting a review right after Nendoroid Makise Kurisu: White Coat version, but I reviewed Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino instead. ^^;

Actually, I have finished taking the review photos back then on February, but I did not quite satisfied with the results. Within this time frame, Nendoroud Kousaka Kirino was released, and I felt really tempted to review her first. After I finished with Kirino’s review, I decided to have another photo session with DM and a diorama set to complete my review photo collection. ^^

OK, enough with the chit-chat, let’s dive directly into the review, shall we? ^^

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Support version

Yes, the pic you are looking at above is supposedly a prototype of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Support version. Well, previously I thought that they would have simply take the master figure for original Nendoroid Hatsune Miku and enhance it as necessary to be “Support version”. ^^

Anyway, a few more pics could be seen after the break:

WHL4U 13 participation prize: stand base

It looks like GSC has started sending out the prizes for Wonderful Hobby Life for You (WHL4U) 13 Photo Contest. Yes, some Japanese folks has reported that they have received the special stand base for both Nendoroid and figma, given as a participation prize in the photocon.

Me? Nope, it has not arrived on my desk yet. What about you, Nendonesian? Have you received your prizes yet? ^^

Another Look at Nendoroid Kuroneko’s and Kirisame Marisa’s Boxes

Box of Nendoroid Kuroneko

OK, we might have seen Nendoroid Kuroneko‘s box design previously, but it was empty back then, wasn’t it? Well, now we get another view of Gokou Ruri’s box with the Nendoroid herself packed inside. Nothing is surprising here, though it proves that Nendoroid Kuroneko is still on-track for her release schedule which should be due in this month. ^^

Anyway, we also had a pic of the box of upcoming re-issue Nendoroid Kirisame Marisa, compared to the first release one.

Original, first release box (left) and re-issue version (right)

So far I could only see a few differences between those two:

The font size used by the number box and name are smaller
The number box is using pink color instead of black
A slightly brighter color on the stars pattern in the background
The frame shape is slightly altered

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendonesia Hatsune Miku: Support version

Note: Since Indonesia is not in the list, here you go: Nendonesia Hatsune Miku Support version (courtesy of rendoroid) ^^

Feeling curious about the exclusion of Indonesia in the Shippable Country list at GSC online shop, we decided to ask them about it. Here is their email reply – it was left untouched/unmodified:

Dear Nendonesia Admin

The situation of the customs clearance of Indonesia is being examined now.
It is undecided though there is a possibility of delivering it as soon as the situation is understood now.

thanks.

Well, at least they did not rule out the possibility of setting up a shipping channel to Indonesia. What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^
