Nendoroid Tomoe Gets 2P Version, Cattleya Now in Colour! (Updated)

Nendoroid Tomoe 2P and Cattleya

Well, what do we have today? A pair of Nendoroids from Queen’s Blade make another appearance here. The one in the left is Nendoroid Tomoe (2P version) who has a set of different outfits and face plates compared to the normal one. Apparently, she will be treated the same way as Nendoroid Leina (2P version), i.e: lottery-only, limited-to-1000-pieces pre-order.

The Nendoroids to the right are Nendoroid Cattleya and her so-called son (in Petit size?). Aside from the coloured outfits and some face plates, there are no further availability info on this one.

UPDATE: Hobby Japan has started taking lucky draw (lottery) applications for Nendoroid Tomoe 2P version. The application-taking will be running from 2010/08/25 (today) until 2010/09/27. The lucky applicants will be contacted via e-mail on 2010/10/08. If you want this version of Tomoe, try your luck today by submitting this form (Japanese only ^^).

UPDATE 2: Nendoroid Tomoe 2P version will be released on the same date as the normal version: November 2010. More pics of Tomoe 2P after the break.
