Nendoroid Meruru – Next After Totori?

Meruru, heroine of Atelier Meruru

When I first saw Nendoroid Totori announced in the latest Winter Wonder Festival, and then the pre-order become available last month, IMHO Nendoroid Totori is too good for a standard release – she should be bundled with something. However, since the PS3 game Atelier Totori has been released, then it is impossible to bundle Totori with her game.

…. and now I just realized that GSC (and Gust) indeed has something in their sleeves: Atelier Meruru – which is going to have a limited edition with Nendoroid Meruru bundled! ヽ(*ﾟдﾟ)ノ

Deepest Condolences for Tsunami and Quake Disaster at Japan

Mar12 by animaster

Pray for Japan

An earthquake and tsunami has struck Japan earlier, with a powerful magnitude of 8.9 SR. Report said that there are a lot of victims there and some people are still missing as well. What a sad day for Japanese!

I, on behalf of Nendonesia contributors and supporters, would like to express our deepest condolences for such a tragedy. We hope Japan could make it through and recover from the disaster as soon as possible. May the dead rest in peace, and the family could overcome their sadness.

– Pray for Japan –

Note: Thanks to Raintive_Orion for the pic.
