Good Bye 2011, Welcome 2012!

See you in 2012!

See you in 2012!

We are already at the end of 2011. Yep, today is New Year’s Eve, where we usually gather up with our family for the last feast of the year, and preparing resolution for the next year (if any XD). Allow us to put a famous quote by Bill Vaughan:

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”

Well then, are we optimists or pessimists? XD

In any case, we would like to say HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 to you all, Nendonesian! Thank you for your support to Nendonesia throughout 2011. Let’s have a lot of Nendo-fun again on 2012! ^^

Correction: Sorry for the confusion – the correct name is Akechi Kokoro, not Akechi Homura. XD

After being announced a few weeks ago, the prototype of Nendoroid Akechi Kokoro is finally displayed. FYI, she is going to be included in the limited edition of PSP game Tantei Opera Milky Holmes 2, which has 2 versions: non-1.5 (9800 Yen) and 1.5 (13800 Yen). The game is scheduled for late August 2012 release. I cannot wait to see her full-painted version. XD

Meanwhile, the 4th member of the detective team is getting a spotlight here. Yep, it seems that Nendoroid Cordelia Clauca is set to join her partners soon. With her finally being fully-painted there, I guess her official announcement should be posted shortly. ^^

(Thanks for the news tip, Jeff Teo and neko8124!)
