Prototypes of Nendoroid Rin + Wooser are Spotted

by animaster

Nendoroid Rin and Wooser

Wooser no Sono Higurashi is a 3D short anime featuring Wooser, a mysterious mascot character whose charming appearance belies a corrupted heart that craves money, meat, and girls. The main characters of this anime/manga are Rin and (obviously) Wooser, who will get the Nendoroid rendition of their own.

We know nothing more about them, so I guess we can only wait for GSC to announce Nendoroid Rin annd Wooser properly – hopefully soon.

Well, what do you think about them, Nendonesian? Getting interested? XD

Nendoroid Petite: New Japan Pro-Wrestling Set is Previewed by Mikatan

Nendoroid Petite: New Japan Pro-Wrestling Set

I am pretty sure that I saw a photo of the prototype a few weeks ago, but well, anyway, here you go – Nendoroid Petite: New Japan Pro-Wrestling set has reached Mikatan’s desk for some preview photo session.

This Petite set consists of real Japanese pro-wrestlers, i.e: Hiroshi Tanahashi, Satoshi Kojima, and Hiroyoshi Tenzan. A golden championship belt is included and you can attach it to any of these three wrestlers. Tenzan’s mask can also be removed to expose his real face, if you want it that way.

In addition to those optional parts, this Petite set will also come with a half wresting ring. Yes, you can create a full ring if you get two of these Petite sets.

Another version with alternative ring and pants

There are two different versions of this Petite set – the one in the pic is the Karuwaza Online Limited version, which features an alternate (GSC themed) ring and pants for each of the characters.

Both versions of Nendoroid Petite: New Japan Pro-Wrestling set will be available for pre-order on around mid-December.

Any of you getting the Petite set(s)? XD

Nendoroid Koujirou Frau Shows Her Face

by animaster

Nendoroid Koujirou Frau

Mikatan showed us the rear view of Nendoroid Koujirou Frau last week, but now we can see her face clearly, albeit without color yet.

Personally, I like how her expression looks like staring at me sharply. How about you, Nendonesian? What do you think about this Nendoroid from Robotic;Notes?

by animaster

Nendoroid Fate Testarossa: Blaze Form Edition

Nendoroid Fate Testarossa: Blaze Form Edition is finally announced and previewed by Mikatan today. The prototype of this fully posable Nendoroid was supposed to feature in the Summer WonFes. Her design is based on Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The MOVIE 2nd A’s.

Fate will bring along her trusty intelligent device, Bardiche in Assault Zanber form, nonetheless. She will also come with three expressions: default (smiling), shouting, and closed eyes. Her cape can be moved around to the left and right, but you can also remove it if you want to display her without her cape.

Nendoroid Fate Testarossa: Blaze Form Edition will be up for pre-order on November 29th.

Are you going to get her, Nendonesian? XD

Oh, and by the way …

Design for Nendoroid Yagami Hayate

Yes, Nendoroid Yagami Hayate will be joining Nanoha and Fate shortly! How’s that, Nanoha fans? XD
