We have already seen the colored prototype of Nendoroid Asuna from Sword Art Online (SAO) a few days ago, and now she is getting the usual preview treatment by Mikatan.

We are going to pick ten Nendoroid photos tagged with #nendonesia from Instagram to be featured in the Nendonesia Weekly InstaPicks series, alongside the other series – Nendonesia Weekly Photo Picks.
So why do we separate the InstaPhotos from the rest of our photo channels? Well, because the rate of photo submission from Instagram is extremely high – in fact there are more than 1,000 photos tagged with #nendonesia at the moment, and it keeps increasing everyday. XD
In order to participate, simply tag your Nendoroid photos with #nendonesia in Instagram. Isn’t it easy? ^^
Oh, and note that we don’t always pick new photos – we will browse through gallery of photos with #nendonesia tag, so if you have tagged some of your photos in the past, that posts might still have the chance to be featured here.
Well then, here are the InstaPicks for this week.

GSC has just posted a new info regarding Hatsune Miku Christmas Piano Cake, otherwise known as Nendoroid Petite Hatsune Miku: Christmas Piano Cake version.
An angel to bring some extra Christmas Spirit to you this year!
A special piano-shaped chocolate cake with chocolate and raspberry cream sandwiched in the middle, and the piano keys are made from chocolate too! On top the cake stands a cute 65mm Nendoroid Petite figure of Miku wearing a choir outfit to really give an original feeling to this FamilyMart exclusive Christmas cake. Stock is limited, so if you want to grab one be sure to preorder at one of the 9100 FamilyMart stores across Japan!
The post also mentioned a few important stuff about this product:
One of our reader, Phen posted an interesting comment about this:
You need to physically go in to the store to pick it up on the 24th in Japan, so proxies won’t really help unless you have someone to go there and pick it up for you.
I think his argument is quite sensible, because the circumstances for this product is kind of … special. XD
Well, what do you think, Nendonesian?

GSC’s booth in Dengeki Bunko Autumn 2012 has revealed several interesting news, particularly from last season’s highly-rated anime Sword Art Online.
Yep, Nendoroid Asuna, whose design was revealed on the last WonFes, is now completely painted and ready for some action. Nothing has been revealed yet, save for her sword, and … is it just me seeing that she is kinda similar to Nendoroid Suenaga Mirai? XD

In any case, the spotlight is not entirely for Nendoroid Asuna there, because the design for Nendoroid Kirito is also revealed, meaning that he will join Asuna soon enough.
Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^
Update: More pics of Nendoroid Asuna are available!
(Thanks for the news tip, avalonexa and Oni Shameimaru)

On the eve of Puella Magi Madoka Magica‘s first movie premiere, Mikatan tweeted a photo of Nendoroid Ultimate Madoka‘s prototype.
Nothing else has been revealed yet, but I guess her bow and arrow should be included in the package, similar to the Petite version. XD
Well, what do you think, Nendonesian?

Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie premiere is scheduled for … today, so it is only natural for GSC to release some products to celebrate it a few days prior. Yep, the second set of Puella Magi Madoka Magica Petites extension is announced officially, conveniently named Nendoroid Petite: Puella Magi Madoka Magica – Extension Set 02.
Includes a second limited edition Madoka Magica Online item code!
From the hit anime ‘Puella Magi Madoka Magica’ comes a set of two Nendoroid Petites as an extension set to add to the original Madoka Nendoroid Petites! This second extension set features the the Witch’s Underling as well as Walpurgis Night!The set also includes a code that will allow you to unlock limited items in the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Online game – ‘Walpurgis’ Clothes’, ‘Walpurgis’ Hat’ and the ‘Witch’s Underling Hat’.

In weekly basis, we are going to pick ten or more photos from our photo channels to be featured in the Nendonesia Weekly Photo Picks series. As the series title suggests, we will choose the featured photos every week.
Note that we don’t always pick new photos – we will browse through the galleries of those channels, so if you have posted some photos in the past, you might still have the chance to be featured. XD
In order to participate, you have to submit your Nendoroid photos from these channels:
Isn’t it easy? Start submitting your photos today and get the chance to be featured. XD
Anyway, here are the featured entries for this week.

Family Mart has just announced their product catalog for Winter 2012. Obviously, Nendoroid Petite Hatsune Miku: Christmas Piano Cake version is included in the catalog.
The cake + Petite set is now open for pre-order with 3900 Yen price tag, although it is only available for Japanese residents only. As usual, we need to rely on proxies (or friend who reside in Japan) to pre-order it, though I doubt we could eat the cake once it arrived on our desks. XD
So you decided to pre-order the cake anyway? Well, here is the pre-order form in PDF for you to print and fill-in – along with your proxy service of choice. ^^

As expected, Nendoroid Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois from DOG DAYS got her preview treatment by Mikatan today.
As for the accessory listing, she will bring along her sword and shield, as well as her battle axe Granvale. She will also come with the Emblem Arts.

However, the greatest feature of this Nendoroid, in my opinion, is the content expression and Daumas, the black birdy! XD
In any case, head over to Mikatan’s blog for more pics and info.
