Nendoroid Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Prototype (Updated)

Nendoroid Panty and Stocking

So you have been waiting for the heroines duo from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt? Well, it seems that Nendoroid Panty and Stocking will become official soon, as their prototype photo has popped up at Gainax’ website. Whoa … they look slightly different compared to other Nendoroid in general, especially their longer arms and legs. I wonder if the face plates would be compatible with other Nendoroid – hopefully so. ^^

Anyway, aside from the photo, Gainax also announced that they will held an event – Panty & Stocking Cafe – on January 12 at Good Smile Cafe. I think they will announce this pair officially there, probably along with the completely-painted Nendoroid. ^^

Are you thinking of getting either (or both) of them, Nendonesian? ^^

UPDATE: Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt CAFE promo banner

Nendoroid Panty and Stocking are mentioned there! Will we see them fully-painted!?
