Custom Nendoroid Mikatan

I was in the middle of a break from my work. I know that Mikatan usually posts an article to her blog around this time, so as usual I browsed my Twitter stream to look for her tweet.

....

Let’s see ………. ((((;゜Д゜))) W-what!?
She mentioned something about farewell on her tweet!

Yes, it seems that Mikatan will not be blogging for GSC anymore. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)

Nendoroid Saber Extra is Available for Pre-Order

Nendoroid Saber Extra

I always thought that GSC usually announces their flagship products on Friday … and it seems to be true after all, as Nendoroid Saber Extra from the famous PSP game Fate/Extra got her announcement today.

“Very well. Let the song of battle begin.”
From the popular game ‘Fate/EXTRA’ comes a Nendoroid of Saber Extra. She comes with three different expressions including a smiling expression, a glaring expression and a chibi expression to recreate the Saber drawn by illustrator CHANxCO.

Optional parts include a rose, as well as her sword, ‘Aestus Estus’. You can enjoy recreating a number of your favorite scenes from the series including posing her ready to fight, as well as in the famous scene from her signature move, ‘Aestus Domus Aurea’!

Aestus Domus Aurea!!! XD

Anyway, she will be released on November, bearing the price tag of 3800 Yen.

By the way, Nendoroid Saber Alter will be displayed on the Summer WonFes 2013. *hint hint*

Nendoroid Flonne, Etna, and Iron Man Mark 42 are Available for Pre-Order

Nendoroid Flonne

More and more new Nendoroids are being announced ahead of the upcoming Summer Wonder Festival 2013 and this time, Phat Company announced that the Disgaea duo are finally available for pre-order! *phew* It took them more than two years to color the prototype. So my hunch is correct, after all. XD

Anyway, the first one is Nendoroid Flonne, the cute angel of love!

The devoted messenger of love, who descended into the Netherworld!
From the ever-popular ‘Disgaea’ game series that began in 2003 comes a Nendoroid of the devoted angel, Flonne! She comes with two alternate expression parts including a fervent expression and a confused expression.

Her trademark blue ribbon and articulated angel wings have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid form! Two of her favorite weapons – the bow and staff are also included, allowing you to create a number of combat scenes from the game! Be sure to display her together with Etna, who will be on sale around the same time!

That burning eyes!! XD

Anyway, she will be released on December (likely to be delayed, given Phat’s track record), with a price tag of 3500 Yen.
