UPDATE: This Nendoroid is simply a personal project of the GSC sculptor, to fill in his summer vacation. (Thanks for the heads up, Sir_Narwhal!)

Nendoroid Alice Margatroid is Previewed by Mikatan; Saigyouji Yuyuko is Going for Resale

Nendoroid Alice Margatroid and Saigyouji Yuyuko

Nendoroid from Touhou Project series is finally resumed, as proven by Mikatan’s preview on Nendoroid Alice Margatroid yesterday.

From Team Shanghai Alice’s popular Touhou Project game series, comes a Nendoroid of the magician who lives in the Forest of Magic, Alice Margatroid! The puppets allow you to pose Alice showing off her ability to control puppets in battle – just one of the many interesting situations you can recreate in Nendoroid form!

She is going to bring along two expressions, three puppets (although the preview only shows two), her grimoire, and a few other optional body parts. How adorable! XD

Anyway, she will also be released along with Nendoroid Saigyouji Yuyuko, who also gets a resale announcement. Sweet! ^^

Here are a few stores that will accept pre-orders of these Nendoroid:

Overseas customers will be able to pick them up on GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP: http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc

As usual, you can read more info and tidbits as well as more pics of this Nendoroid up on Mikatan’s blog.

A dream collaboration between Nendoroid Petite and Mini 4WD!
Tamiya’s Mini 4WD model car series has just celebrated its 30th anniversary and is now working in collaboration with the Nendoroid Petite series to create a joint product that will be produced by Dengeki Hobby Magazine!

Using specially developed parts, the Nendoroid Petite figures can easily jump into the Mini 4WD models and drive around! Each car is specially designed to suit the image and colors of the character that the car is designed for, and the figure mount is actually a cleverly designed battery holder! A set of stickers is also included with the Mini 4WD to customize it your way!

The product page also mentioned some of the Mini 4WD specs:

  • Connectable model assembly kit (no glue required).
  • 150mm long / 97mm wide / 44mm high.
  • Motor included.
  • 2 AA batteries required (not included).
