Original design of Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2012 version

Note: If you have been following our Facebook or Twitter, you should have known that I was gone for a vacation last week. That is (partially) why I did not post news updates back then. There were some issues with the server as well, and it also prevents me to update the blog. Sorry about that, Nendonesian. m(_ _)m

Anyway, the first news is about Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2012 version who has been available for pre-order since March 21 at 18:00 until May 7 at 22:00. Similar to the previous Racing Miku editions, this one also come in several personal sponsor packages: 7000, 10000, 30000, and 50000 Yen.

Although there are no real Nendoroid pics yet, the official product spec mentions that she will bring along her usual RQ stuff, including Nendoroid CAR1, RQ Parasol (open/closed) and exclusive decals.

She will be available for pre-order at Nico Nico Chokuhan and scheduled for October release. ^^

Nendoroid Amagi Yukiko

Nendoroid Amagi Yukiko from Persona 4 (TV series) is also available for pre-order since last week. Here is her official description:

The elegant girl with an unexpected whimsical side.
From the anime series ‘Persona 4’ comes a Nendoroid of the elegant and popular Yukiko Amagi.

She comes with three different expressions, as well as various extra parts from the series such as her glasses and a folding fan which let you pose her summoning her Persona. She also comes with parts that allow you to pose her showing her whimsical side that she normally tries to hide – holding her stomach while bursting out in laughter. She even comes with the fake glasses from episode four of the anime series!

Yukiko is going to be released on July and priced at 3500 Yen. You might want to take a look at Mikatan’s blog post if you are considering to secure a pre-order of this cute Nendoroid. ^^

Well, which one of those are you going to pre-order, Nendonesian? ^^
