Nendoroid Petit from Puella Magi Madoka Magica is Announced!

MadoMagi sillhouettes

If you take a visit to GSC’s official website today, you will see a mysterious sillhouettes of super-deformed characters from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Well, it is pretty easy to guess that the sillhouettes are in fact the Nendoroid Petit rendetion of MadoMagi’s characters.

Prototypes of Nendoroid Petit Puella Magi Madoka Magica set

Mikatan has just announced Nendoroid Petit Puella Magi Madoka Magica set. Yep, the set consists of all Puella Magis in Petit rendetion, i.e: Kaname Madoka, Akemi Homura, Tomoe Mami, Miki Sayaka, and Sakura Kyouko. They appear unpainted for the time being, but I am pretty sure that they will be displayed in completely-painted form at the upcoming WonFes, this Sunday. ^^

Nendoroid Cirno

The release schedules of long awaited Nendoroid Cirno from Touhou Project and Nendoroid Sherlock Shellingford (a.k.a Sharo) from Tantei Opera Milky Holmes are pushed back to August. Both of them are initially scheduled to be released by this month though.

Well, GSC are getting busy to prepare for the upcoming summer WonFes, so it is reasonable that we get some delays … but, hey, at least Nendoroid Black Rock Strength (a.k.a STR) got a release date: July 25 – yes, that is one day after WonFes! ^^

Any thoughts, Nendonesian?
