Nendonesia Gets Official Logo, Finally!

Dec21 by animaster

Nendonesia's new logo!

Since Nendonesia was launched back then in July 2010, it has never had an official logo. I simply used a Black Rock Shooter-themed logo temporarily because Nendonesia’s launch date was almost at the same time with Black Rock Shooter’s OVA premiere. Now Nendonesia has finally had an official logo, thanks to my brother for the design and rendoroid for the feedback. ヽ(´▽`)/

Anyway, we are going to celebrate it by holding a photo contest (you should have probably known it if you visited our Facebook Page ^^) and the details will be announced today … so stay tuned, Nendonesian! ^^

Note: What do you think about our new logo, Nendonesian? Kindly share your thoughts on the comment.

Nendoroid Ika Musume on The Making?

Dec20 by animaster

Nendoroid Ika Musume (customized?)

So you have been waiting for Ika Musume to be made into Nendoroid? Here is a (supposedly) good news for you: Yukiwo Ageta, my fave Nendoroid sculptor/designer, has just tweeted a picture of some rough draft of Nendoroid Ika Musume. Yep, he had only sculpted Ika Musume’s head roughly and used Nendoroid Al-Azif‘s body there, but it should be enough for us to grasp a general picture of Nendoroid Ika Musume, right? ^^

Rough sketch of Nendoroid Ika Musume design

… and here is Ageta-sensei’s Nendoroid Ika Musume design sketch which he tweeted a few days ago. Well, hopefully she would be made into a Nendoroid real soon. What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Dec16 by animaster

Nendoroid Nakano Azusa got 2nd place

2010 is surely a good year for Good Smile Company (and their partner Max Factory). Their Nendoroid and Petits (along with figma) dominates the Top 10 Chart of Japan Amazon’s Best of 2010 with 9 out of 10 belongs to them. Here is the top 5 ranking:

figma Black Rock Shooter
Nendoroid Nakano Azusa
Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter
figma Nakano Azusa
Black Rock Shooter (1/8 scale PVC)

I guess next year we will still see their domination in the sales chart, seeing how both Nendoroid and figma are gaining more popularity recently. Anyway, the complete chart listing can be seen here. ^^
