Nendoroid Minami Kana

Pardon me to make this post separately, although she is available for pre-order at the same time with the other two, but I have to do it as I have been waiting for this Nendoroid for years! XD

*ahem* Anyway, yes, Nendoroid Minami Kana from Minami-ke is finally announced!

The troublemaker of the Minami household!
The 4th season of the Minamike anime is now airing, and the manga is still being serialized and is just as popular as ever! The Nendoroid series of Minamike is also getting bigger, as Kana Minami, the long awaited troublemaker of the Minami household, is also coming to join the Nendoroid family!

She is wearing her school uniform and also includes a school bag, allowing you to display her on her way to school. She also comes with three different expressions – her standard triumphant expression, a smiling expression and even the realistic expression she sometimes shows in the series!

A small kitchen set is also included to help you recreate even more scenes from the series!

The mischevous Kana will be produced by Gift, scheduled for June 2013 and priced at 3800 Yen.

Nendoroids of Minami-ke

Alongside Kana is Nendoroid Minami Chiaki who is also getting a re-release at the same month, and Nendoroid Minami Haruka who will also be announced shortly.

So … are you getting these Nendoroids from Minami family?

Psst … the sculptor for Nendoroid Minami Kana and Haruka is Yoshio (LAUGH) who, if I am not mistaken, has also made the garage kit of Nendoroid Ayanami Rei. Will we also see her soon? XD

Nendoroid Alice Kuonji

Mahou Tsukai no Yoru‘s Nendoroid Alice Kuonji is the third Nendoroid with the name ‘Alice’ that is scheduled for release this year, after the one from Touhou Project and Momoiro Taisen Pairon. Will we see more Alices on the upcoming WonFes? XD

The witch of Shiroinu hill, in the town of Misaki.
From the visual novel game ‘Mahoutsukai no Yoru’ comes a Nendoroid of the young witch that lives in hiding, Alice Kuonji!

She comes with a number of expressions including her standard relaxed expression, an embarrassed expression and a chibi face that comes from the ‘bonus corner’ found in the game. She also comes with sitting parts and a artistic moon stand that she can sit on. Her little blue bird familiar, ‘Robin’, is also included along with the ‘Diddle Diddle’ bell. Be sure to display her together with the previously released Aoko Aozaki and recreate your favorite scenes from the game!

Previously, I mistakenly mention that Alice will only bring two expressions, but it has been proved otherwise, as pointed by a reader. Sorry about that! XD

Anyway, Nendoroid Alice Kuonji is scheduled for June 2013 release and priced at 3800 Yen.

Nendoroid Petite Sakuraba Tamamo and Shirasaki Tsugumi

We have already covered a bit regarding the PC game Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai (A good librarian like a good shepherd) made by AUGUST half a year ago. Fast-forward to today and the game, along with its limited bundle has been released to the stores since January 25th. Yes, the limited edition of the PC game will include a pair of Nendoroid Petites: Sakuraba Tamamo and Shirasaki Tsugumi.

As a Nendoroid fan, I guess it is obvious that I am interested to see how the mass-production version of the Petites looks like. Here are some photos of them, posted by a Japanese collector who have just received the game package.

Nendoroid Nishizumi Miho

Nendoroid Nishizumi Miho from the series GIRLS und PANZER finally appears in full-colored prototype and she has already undergone Mikatan’s preview treatment.

She will bring along her headphone, a binocular, as well as a rideable tank’s turret and gun. However, the trade-off is that she only gets two expressions: normal/smiling and shouting face.

A companion 1/35 model kit tank will be available courtesy of PLATZ, and obviously, Miho can ride on the tank as well.

More info (and pics) of this Nendoroid can be found on Mikatan’s blog. Oh, and she will be available for pre-order starting on January 29th.

From the anime series ‘Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb’ comes a Nendoroid of Yuno’s close friend, Miyako!

Nendoroid Alice Kuonji is Previewed by Mikatan

Nendoroid Alice Kuonji

Nendoroid Aozaki Aoko from Mahou Tsukai no Yoru has been released today, so it seems that it is the perfect time to preview an upcoming Nendoroid from the series: Nendoroid Alice Kuonji.

Alice will be wearing her black outfit, including her one-piece dress, a muffler, and fluffy cap. The muffler and cap are removable, so you can also re-create Alice’s indoor looks. There are a few other interesting parts included in her package, such as the sitting-on-the-moon parts as well as her familiar ‘Robin’.

With that parts on board, it is pretty obvious that there should be some trade-off somewhere. Unfortunately, the section getting slashed is the number of optional faceplates, as Alice will only bring two expressions: the default one and the chibi face.

Chibi face

The chibi expression reminds me of the CHANxCO expression for OVA version of Nendoroid Dead Master. It is simply too adorable! XD

Anyway, Nendoroid Alice Kuonji will be available for pre-order starting next week.
