As promised by Mikatan yesterday, Nendoroid Erica Hartmann (Strike Witches) is available for pre-order starting today.

The undefeatable ace of aerial combat!
From the popular anime series and film, ‘Strike Witches’ comes a Nendoroid of Erica Hartmann – the sixth Nendoroid from the series!

She comes complete with her MK42 machine gun to prove she is the queen of shooting things out of the sky, along with effect parts to recreate her special ”Sturm’ technique. A Striker Unit is also included along with her animal ears and tail, allowing you to pose her soaring through the skies. The stand features the logo of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing and is fitted with joints allowing you to easily pose her in mid-air combat scenes!

She also comes with a lovely winking expression which can be used together with the included military cap to display her receiving a decoration for her services – one of many poses that fans are sure to enjoy!

She is priced at 4000 Yen and scheduled for December 2012 release.

Nendoroid Konpaku Youmu

GSC makes a surprising movement when they silently put Nendoroid Konpaku Youmu (Touhou Project) for a re-release earlier today. XD

The ghostly gardener of Hakugyokurou.
From Shanghai Alice’s popular game series, the “Touhou Project” comes a Nendoroid of Youmu Konpaku – the ghostly gardener who serves Yuyuko Saigyouji.

As she also serves as Yuyuko’s guardian and sword instructor, she also includes both of her swords: the long bladed Roukanken and the shorter Hakurouken, as well as a ghost to float around her. She also includes a total of three expressions, including her standard face, an angry face and a face with closed eyes. A large variety of parts allowing you to recreate all sorts of situations!

The pricing has not changed, though her re-release schedule is set for December 2012 now.

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

GSC is Coming to AFAID 2012? (Update: Confirmed by Takanori Aki)

AFAID 2012 and GSC

AFAID 2012 and GSC

A few hours ago, the following question was asked in Good Smile Company’s English Facebook page:

We have a question to the Indonesians lives in the Indonesia.
“Where did you buy our figures at the real shop?”
Because we will go to AFA Indonesia, then we want to go the real shops for marketing. Please let me know 🙂

Obviously, this question has sparked a speculation that GSC will be opening a booth in AFA Indonesia 2012, similar to AFA (Singapore) and AFA Malaysia.

What do you think about it, Nendonesian? XD

Anyway, if you are interested to submit your answer(s) kindly go to the source page below. Oh, and please do not chooseKlinik Tong Fang” as your answer(s) there. It is obviously a prank. (-_-“)

Update: Tatsuya has just asked Takanori Aki (President of GSC) about this matter via Twitter, and here is his answer:

A simple “YES” is convincing enough to confirm that GSC is indeed coming to AFAID 2012, don’t you think so? XD

Note: Our donation amount has reached around 40 percent of the minimum amount needed to rent a showcase booth in AFAID 2012.
Thank you for your donation, Nendonesian! 60 percent to go! XD

So, what will be the first Nendoroid to get Mikatan’s preview in the post-Summer-WonFes era? How about … Nendoroid Hakase from Nichijou? XD

Yep, Mikatan has just tweeted the pic you see above, hinting for a preview to be posted later today.

If I remember correctly, Shinonome Nano (and probably Hakase as well) is having her birthday celebrated today – August 7th, so I guess that is the reason why Nendoroid Hakase is getting previewed today. XD

Well, what do you think about it, Nendonesian?
