Nendoroid Hatsune Miku inside!
It looks like Good Smile Company is trying to dig deeper into the gaming world with their Nendoroid series. So far we have got Nendoroid Planet for iPhone and Nendoroid Generation for PSP …. and the next one is Hatsune Miku: Project mirai for 3DS. Woot woot! XD
Nendoroid Mikatan, along with orange KAITO and Miku
During last weekend, when I was taking a break from my work, I went to browse some old pics archive of Nendoroid … and I found out some interesting pics. Yep, apparently someone has made a Nendoroid rendetion of Mikatan, the famous GSC marketting staff blogger. Wha-!? (°▲°)/
Linkin Park members with their Petit rendetion's design at the rear
Last Friday, Linkin Park x Good Smile Company are holding an event at Nicofarre in Tokyo, with the title A Thousand Horizon. At the end of the event, there was a talkshow with all Linkin Park members, and that’s when the Nendoroid Petit design showed up. ^^
The Petit design is shown
Well, that was covered in Mikatan’s blog post today, so make sure not to miss it if you are interested in the event. ^^
Re-painted version of Nendoroid from BRS series
Whoa … what do we have here? Apparently someone is inspired from the white version of Black Rock Shooter (a.k.a White Rock Shooter), and she decided to repaint the whole BRS casts into white-colored theme. The white version of Black Rock Shooter, Dead Master, Black Gold Saw, and Strength look awesome, don’t they? XD
Personally though, I think that the re-painted Nendoroid Strength is the best out of those four. The purple-colored hair looks pretty cool on Strength. What about you, Nendonesian? What do you think about the custom/repainted Nendoroid? ^^
Hatsune Miku: Cheerful Japan version
Did you recall the illustration contest for Cheerful Japan x Hatsune Miku that was announced last month? Yes, that collaboration project between GSC and pixiv. Well, they have got a winner: an illustration by bun150 – yup, the one you see in the pic above.
As stated in the contest description, the winning illustration will be made into both 1/8 scaled figure and Nendoroid Petit. I have no idea about the naming though, but let’s assume it to be Nendoroid Petit Hatsune Miku: Cheerful Japan version. ^^
For you who are interested to purchase it, here is a little info about its availability: the Petit is going to be bundled with Quarterly pixiv vol.08, which is scheduled for Spring 2012 release. ^^
Anyone interested? Personally, I do interested to get the Petit, but I think I will wait until I see how the Petit rendetion will look like. XD

Nendoroid Shiina Mayuri and Makise Kurisu Support version
… and just when you thought that the Nendoroid nightmare terror announcement is over (momentarily) … well, GSC has another surprise for you: Nendoroid Shiina Mayuri and Makise Kurisu Support version as part of their Cheerful JAPAN project. (> . <)/
The heroine duo from Steins;Gate appear in cheerleader outfit, complete with their pompoms and cheering megaphone. Besides, they also come with a brand new expressions. Check the pics after the break. ^^
UPDATE: English version of Mikatan’s blog post link
Nendoroid Makise Kurisu
The Nendoroid rendetion of Steins;Gate heroine, Nendoroid Makise Kurisu is going to be released (again) tomorrow in Japan. She is being re-released to accompany Nendoroid Mayuri Shiina which is also going to be released this month (or next week, to be precise). Yep, for you who missed the first release and already secured the reservation for this re-sale version, well, expect to get an invoice soon. ^^
Anyway … yep, that’s Nendoroid Gumako: Cheerful version beside Kurisu. She is also due to be released this month. ^^
Hatsune Miku 2020 in 7th Dragon 2020
Before you get excited over nothing, let me say it first: This is not a Nendoroid-related news. If you were expecting a Nendoroid news, well, sorry to let you down. XD
Anyway, I just went past an article about upcoming PSP game 7th Dragon 2020, which is featuring Hatsune Miku as one of the elements in the game. Yep, the virtual diva will sing the theme song for the game, as well as appearing as a (non-playable) character in the game. Inside the game, she is being displayed in a super-deformed form – perfect to be rendered as Nendoroid! XD
Nendoroid Mayuri Shiina
Tuturu~ It’s Mayushi desu! How are you today, minna-san!? ^^
Anyway, I am going to announce some release dates of Nendoroid scheduled for September 2011 release. The first Nendoroid to be released this month is Kurisu-chan, and then the Nendoroid rendetion of myself is scheduled for release afterwards. Yay! It’s double Steins;Gate Nendoroid release! ^^
Well, that’s all of this month’s Nendoroid release dates. See you again next time, minna-san! Tuturu~
Note: Sorry about that, Nendonesian. It seems that Mayushi has somehow hijacked the blog earlier. (Daru, was that your work?) Fortunately, it seems that she has done a good job posting the info, so I don’t think I need to time-leap to undo it, do I? XD
Nendoroid Planet's photocon banner
If you recall our review of the iOS app Nendoroid Planet a few months ago, there is a section titled “The MUSEUM” with 2 sub-section: “Catalog” and “3D Models“. In 3D Models, we can view the 3D-rendered models of a few Nendoroid. Beside zooming and rotating, we can also take photos of the 3D Nendoroid with our environment as the photo background.
Yep, this capability is now being featured as a photo contest. The main rules is simple: submit one photo of 3D-rendered Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter or Nendoroid Dead Master, taken with Nendoroid Planet app. The submission has been started on August 31 and will end on September 22. The prize for best photo submission is a BRS illustration made and signed by huke, plus a signature of Sakamoto Maaya! The winner will also get a copy of PSP game Black Rock Shooter: The GAME. Wooot! (o . o)/
The bad news is … well, the contest is only applicable for Japan citizen. That’s it – international participants are not eligible to participate in the photocon. Awww … (-_-“)
Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^
