Mikatan Previews Nendoroid GUMI

Nendoroid GUMI

Megpoid‘s Nendoroid GUMI has been available for pre-order earlier today, and it is only natural for Mikatan to get her hands on the new Nendoroid.

As usual, a few tidbits are revealed in the preview article, such as the fact that GUMI will bring along four (instead of three, as previously reported) expressions: smiling, winking, chibi face, and the google-wearing face.

Yep, in order to recreate the above pic, we will need to remove the googles off her head and swap her face plate with the one wearing googles.

The compulsory face-swapping photo is also posted by Mikatan there. See her complete preview with more pics and info below.

Nendoroid GUMI

Finally, the highly anticipated Nendoroid GUMI of Megpoid is announced officially and available for pre-order starting today.

The online sensation is joining the Nendoroids!!
The image character for the Virtual Vocalist Megpoid, GUMI, is finally joining the Nendoroid world! She can be posed in a number of well-known poses, including the pose from the illustration of the packaging and her signature winking pose!

You can even pose her with her goggles down over her eyes for a more stylish pose, or instead choose the cuter option and have her riding on a giant carrot with an adorable chibi expression! GUMI is known to sing a large variety of songs, and this Nendoroid comes with just as many poses for fans to enjoy!

As seen in the latest hobby magazine scan, she will come with three expression: smiling/laughing, winking, and chibi face.

She is going to be released on January 2013, bearing the 3500 Yen price tag. I guess Mikatan’s preview should be posted shortly. XD

Are you going to get her, Nendonesian?
