Nendoroid Airi: 2P version
In case you did not know, the pre-order of the limited and exclusive Nendoroid Airi: 2P version will come to an end by next week. If you still could not justify the 3500 Yen price tag (plus some possible additional fees) for the FREEing-bound Nendoroid, then you might want to take a look at her pics first. ^^
Warning: Some pics are NSFW! ^^;
Nendoroid Hatsune Miku - bootleg (left) and genuine (right)
By popular demand, we are going to start a new series of articles with the topic: Bootleg vs Genuine, where we will do a side-by-side comparison of bootleg and genuine version of a particular Nendoroid. ^^
For starter, we will compare bootleg and genuine version of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku., one of the most widespread bootleg Nendoroid. No, this is not the old/usual bootleg one in which you could easily recognize it simply by looking at her expression, as this pic show:
Genuine (left) vs bootleg/fake (right)
The one featured in this article is slightly different than the bootleg you see at the pic above. I guess it is a new bootleg variant of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku. (-_-“”)
Well then, let’s get into the comparison, shall we? ^^
Nendoroid Chua Churam
First, I want to thank you all, Nendonesian, for your feedback regarding my post on Nendoroid Chua Churam yesterday. A reader named NegativeZero shared a link to an old Japanese Nendoroid thread archive from 2008, that discussed about this particular Nendoroid. Yes, this Nendoroid is indeed a custom-made. ^^
You can see all the pics taken from the thread (link at the end of the post) after the break. ^^
Nendoroid Chua Churam
Well, have you ever seen this box previously? I guess most of you haven’t. ^^
Actually, it belongs to Nendoroid Chua Churam from an eroge titled Chu x Chu Idol. Chua Churam herself is a vampire idol who has some sort of connection to Melissa Seraphy – which came from Chu x Chu Paradise and had two Nendoroid rendetions already.
Anyway, one more pic can be seen after the break. ^^
Nendoroid Gumako: Support version
When Nendoroid Gumako: Support version got available for Japan-only pre-order yesterday, there is a nasty rumor said that the bowl of udon and chopstick would only be available on the Japanese version, but not on the overseas one. Wha-!?
Well, personally, I think that the rumor is unbelievable, because there is simply no reason for GSC to differentiate Nendoroid Gumako’s package based on its sales type (Japan or overseas). However, in order to confirm the rumor, I decided to drop a mail to GSC Online Shop.
Nendoroid Dark Gumako and Gumako
So, you are excited with Nendoroid Gumako‘s announcement? Well, hold you breath for a moment, as we are going to meet Nendoroid Dark Gumako (unofficial name) here. Whoa … who is this adorable Nendoroid?
Actually, this black version of Gumako is inspired from the artwork of GSC’s ex-blogger, Asanon. Here’s the original artwork: (Loli version of Gumako spotted! ^^)
Gumako, Dark Gumako, and Loli Gumako
So … is Dark Gumako a boy or a girl? Well, based on the artwork, it seems that Dark Gumako is a boy – although the Nendoroid design looks like a girl. Either way, let’s see a gallery of Dark Gumako’s pics. ^^
Nendoroid Gumako
Mikatan promised that there will be further info regarding Nendoroid Gumako on mid-May … and now here she is! Officially dubbed Nendoroid Gumako: Support version, this cute Nendoroid rendetion of Good Smile Company mascot is actually a part of “Cheerful JAPAN!” initiative to raise donation money for restoring the damaged area due to March’s earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan.
Nendoroid Plus Charm Meruru
We have seen her several times previously and now we have a closer look at the Nendoroid Plus charm Meruru. As we mentioned in our previous post about this Nendoroid Plus rendetion of the cute alchemist, you can get it along with a crystal paperweight and the game copy of Atelier Meruru for 10,290 Yen (premium box). Oh, and if you pre-order the game, you will also get a character drama CD as a bonus! ^^
Atelier Meruru is scheduled for June 23 release in Japan and an artbook titled Atelier Meruru Perfect Works will be published by Gemaga in Japan, three months afterwards.
Well, are you getting the PS3 game Atelier Meruru, Nendonesian? ^^
Nendoroid Generation's main characters?
You may have seen some in-game screenshots of the upcoming PSP RPG Nendoroid Generation from Namco Bandai x Banpresto x Good Smile Company previously. However, seeing the animated version of those adorable Nendoroid should give you an entirely different experience! It is like watching all of our little figures living as they move around smacking enemies and dancing around at the same time. ^^
Anyway, watch the trailer after the break. ^^
Nendoroid Kawashima Minami
Nendoroid Kawashima Minami from Moshi Koukou Yakyuu no Joshi Manager ga Drucker no Management o Yondara (a.k.a Moshidora) was last seen on April’s magazine scan. As a starter for this month’s Nendoroid preview, Mikatan has chosen her to get an early photo session. Three faceplates, a school bag, a “Management” book and a metal bat are all Minami-chan would get inside her package.
Well, without further ado, kindly visit Mikatan’s blog for more pics and info about this adorable baseball club manager. ^^
Note: Coincidentally, I have just finished watching the whole series of this anime (10 episodes) last week. Although the story is a little light, but it worths a watch as the artwork and voice actors/actresses are awesome! ^^
