That said, we have another gathering, this time it is dubbed “special gathering”, because we are invited to Bijac Festival, scheduled for February 11 at Binus International University, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version and Nendoroid Akemi Homura: School Uniform version are Announced as Exclusives for Winter WonFes 2012

Umm …. this might sound like an old news for most of you, but well, for the sake of completeness, I will post the news nevertheless. XD

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version

Yep, as the title said, the adorable Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version is the first exclusive Nendoroid for the upcoming Winter WonFes. We have already posted a teaser of her a few weeks ago, but GSC decided to add a few more stuff to be included inside the pack: a Nendoroid Petit-sized snow sculpture of Hatsune Miku and a LED-equipped ice stage. Wow!

Dressed up for a night of fun in the snow!
As a commemoration product for the 63rd Sapporo Snow Festival, a special design for Snow Miku that was voted as the best design on the Piapro website has been made into a Nendoroid! She is wearing a lovely fluffy winter outfit which includes a ribbon with a beautiful jewel in the middle – a new, stylish design for Snow Miku!

She also comes with a mike stand that can also be turned into a shovel for a variety of different poses. A Nendoroid Petite sized snow sculpture of Miku made from clear plastic is also included, as well as an ice stage with LED lights which can light up the lovely sculpture for all to enjoy!

(The LED stage requires 3 AAA batteries to operate. Batteries are not included.)

Here is a photo of the container:

Nendoroid Akemi Homura: School Uniform version from Puella Magi Madoka Magica is the second exclusive Nendoroid for the upcoming Winter WonFes. This time, Homura brings a load of extra parts and accessories, including fringe part wearing Madoka’s ribbon, bow and arrow, a pair of wings, a school bag, and a handkerchief as well as other optional body parts.

A load of optional parts to create all sorts of scenes from the series!
Nendoroid Homura Akemi is back, this time wearing her school uniform! She comes complete with three different expressions, a bag for school and her handkerchief. She even comes with a separate lower body part that allows you to display her sitting down.

But there is even more! She also comes with an extra fringe part that is wearing Madoka’s ribbon, a bow and arrow, wings and new arm parts that let you recreate the pose from one of the series’ famous key visuals. You can combine this Nendoroid with the standard Puella Magi Nendoroid of Homura to enjoy more variety than ever before!

Yamada Aoi and Inami Mahiru

It looks like the official announcement and pre-order availability for Nendoroid Inami Mahiru from WORKING!! will be carried out shortly, as a complete set of her pose as well as her expressions, parts, accessories are being displayed in the latest hobby magazine scan. Aside from the handpincher tool, various effect parts for her violence androphobia smacking are also included in the pack to recreate scenes from the manga/anime. Anyway, she will be available on May with the usual Max-Factory-esque price tag of 3800 Yen. ^^

Meanwhile, it looks like Nendoroid Yamada Aoi will be the third Wagnaria staff to serve the Nendoroid realm, joining her seniors Popura and Inami. The lovely Yamada will come with at least three expressions there, along with the broken plate – for her clumsiness. She will be available on June with no pricing info being announced yet.

Well, are you getting either (or both) of them, Nendonesian? ^^

GSC Compares Bootleg Nendoroid HMO, Dead Master, and Madoka

Bootleg (fake) vs original (authentic)

Bootleg (fake) vs original (authentic)

GSC has posted yet another bootleg comparison of some Nendoroid. The featured Nendoroid are: Nendoroid Kaname Madoka, Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition, and Nendoroid Dead Master, versus their bootleg counterparts. Out of those three, I personally have difficulties to distinquish between Nendoroid Kaname Madoka and her bootleg version. Well, gotta be careful to purchase Nendoroid from untrusted stores. XD

Anyway, feel free to visit the source pages for more pics and info (in Japanese XD) about the comparison. ^^
