Nendoroid Itoshiki Nozomu 1.5

I know that some of you are eagerly waiting for the re-release of Nendoroid Itoshiki Nozomu from Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei. Well, it looks like your long wait is finally over as Mikatan has just posted a preview of both Nendoroid Itoshiki Nozomu 1.5 and Nendoroid Itoshiki Nozomu 1.5: Kouji Kumeta Color version.

For your info, both versions are essentially the same in terms of optional parts and expression – they only differ in color theme. Similar to the old release, Nozomu will bring along three expressions: normal, impatient, and despair face. He will also bring along an attendance register, a wearable scarf, a briefcase/bag, as well as the hanging rope that can be plugged into his head. XD

Mikatan also mentioned that the new Nozomu will be using the new post-300th Nendoroid joints and faceplate system alongside a few tweaks here and there.

Both version of Nendoroid Itoshiki Nozomu 1.5 will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow.

Well then, what do you think, Nendonesian?

Design for Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2014 version Has Been Decided

by animaster

Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2014 version

So the Nico Nico Live Broadcast by GSC dubbed as “Hatsune Miku no Jikan” has been broadcasted earlier. There are a couple of Miku stuff there, but we are going to focus to the Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2014 version first.

As you may have known, the live broadcast also served as an election to choose the base design for next year’s Nendoroid Snow Miku. In the end of the live election session, design #8 got the most votes there.

Wearing the witch hat and the cape/coat with crystal staff, she looks pretty plain classic to my taste, but I guess the voters might see her with “simple is the best” in mind. XD

Pet for Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2014 version

Meanwhile, the election also voted for the best pet to accompany the next year’s snow diva. The design getting the most votes is design #7 – the rabbit fairy. XD

Well, what do you think about the design, Nendonesian?

by animaster

Nendoroid Maou

Personally, this is one of the Nendoroid I have been anticipating since her first appearance in the last WonFes. Everyone, please welcome Nendoroid Maou from the light novel/anime series Maoyuu Maou Yuusha. XD

“Become mine, Hero!”
From the light novel that originated on 2channel and was then transformed into an anime series, ‘Maoyuu Maou Yuusha’ comes a Nendoroid of the main character, Maou! She comes with optional parts that allow you to display her lifting her skirt to recreate the scene where she first greets the Hero. Plus you can also recreate some more embarrassing poses using the included dakimakura! Her ‘horns’ can also be attached and removed.

You’ll know exactly how the hero felt with this Nendoroid by your side!

The chibi version of the Demon King (Queen?) in the series has been available for pre-order since yesterday. She is going to be released on September, priced at 3800 Yen.

Nendoroid Maou

As expected, the well-endowed (!!!) heroine also got a preview session by Mikatan yesterday. Nendoroid Maou will bring along three expressions: smiling, upward glance, and kissing. She will also bring her detachable horns, an alternate front dress, as well as a dakimakura of the Hero.

Kindly visit Mikatan’s blog for more photos of her in the compatible Nendoroid Playset 04: Western Style Set.

Are you going to get this adorable Nendoroid?
