Nendoroid Kamui Gakupo is Previewed by Mikatan

Nendoroid Kamui Gakupo

Nendoroid Kamui Gakupo is finally getting a preview treatment by Mikatan. This Samurai-themed Vocaloid character, who is popular among the female fans, will bring along three expressions, his sword Gakuto Mifuri, a folding fan, and a ride-able eggplant.

Sure, this Nendoroid looks really cool and cute with all those unique hairdo, outfit, and stuff, but this is my personal favorite pose of him:

The feudal lord pose!

He seemed like saying, “Ohohohoho …” just like a proud feudal lord. XD

Anyway, kindly see more pics of this cute Nendoroid on Mikatan’s blog. Oh, and he will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow!

Now I cannot wait to see Nendoroid GUMI to be announced later on. XD

Costume design contest for Snow Miku 2013

Similar to last year, GSC and PIAPRO set up a Costume Design Contest for Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2013 version.

While the theme for last year’s costume was jewellery and crystal, this year’s emphasize is sweeteries, such as cakes, candies, and tarts. Obviously, since this is a design for SNOW Miku, those sweeties should have a snow or ice theme embedded into the design.

The contest has started since yesterday, and the deadline has not been announced yet. If you are interested to participate, you might want to see further details on the source links below.

What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^
