Nendonesia Surabaya 2nd Gathering Report

Nendonesia Surabaya 2nd Gathering

Nendonesia Surabaya 2nd Gathering was held on Saturday, January 15, 2011 at Grand City Mall, Surabaya. Initially, the gathering was scheduled to start on 2PM, but we waited for some fellow Nendonesians to arrive before starting up – it was an informal event after all. ^^

Anyway, the gathering participants were not as much as our first Surabaya gathering though due to the unpredictable weather and other sudden businesses. Nendonesia’s partner, rendoroid, could not attend the gathering as well, so there was no auction (and less fun). ^^;

Well then, go on past the break for the full report.

Custom Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (Neko Costume version)

Custom Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (Neko Cosplay version)

Back then on April last year, there is a commercial of Lotte ACUO gum which features Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu‘s characters. The complete story of the commercial is as follow:

The commercial has Ikuta Toma (an actor) chewing Acuo gum when he spies an item that is sold out at a boutique. When he blows his “nice breath” onto the boutique clerk, she transforms into Asahina Mikuru. The boutique manager comes over to scold Ikuta for “turning people into anime characters.” Ikuta says “Suimasen” (“I’m sorry”) with his fresh breath, and the manager turns into Suzumiya Haruhi. Confused, Ikuta runs out of the store and runs into alley cats … who all transform into Nagato Yuki.

And this certain neko costume version of Nagato are re-created in Nendoroid form by a Japanese Nendoroid fan. More pics of Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (neko costume version) after the break. ^^

Note: Thanks to KairiZero, Xinq’G, and iBlaze, for providing the photos for our first gathering’s report ^^

December 12, 2010 would be marked as a special day for Nendonesian, especially who lives in Surabaya as we held our first ever Nendonesia gathering at Grand City Mall, Surabaya. We are really proud to be able to hold our first gathering six months after the birth of Nendonesia back then in July 4, 2010 (it was initially named Animaster Talks Nendoroid). (≧∇≦)/

Anyway, before we go through the gallery of our gathering photos, I would like to tell you a few stuff regarding Nendonesia’s site statistics. Let’s go past the break, Nendonesian! ^^

UPDATE: Fixed the broken image links

Capsule Corp: Toy Expo 2010 – Day 1

Capsule Corp: Toy Expo 2010

The first day of Capsule Corp: Toy Expo 2010, Surabaya’s one and only toys event for this year is finally over. Unsurprisingly, it was pretty crowded with mostly figure-collectors hunting their figures/figurines of interests. ^^

I met a couple of Nendonesian there, such as rendoroid and Mr. Stephen. I heard that some Nendonesian from Nendonesia’s Facebook were also coming there, such as yozz00 and a few others, but unfortunately I did not meet any of them. ^^;

Anyway, I got a few photos to share with you, Nendonesian. There are only two stores here that sell Nendoroid, but their selection is awesome! See the photos after the break.

Note: The first two photos below are from Divine & Infernals x rendoroid shoppe and the next set is from Wajuwa Toys.

It is already December … and that means it is time for another Nendoroid Random Gallery! *ahem* Well, I don’t know whether we will be having a 2nd part for this post; the “Part 1” on the title is simply for … pre-caution. ^^;

This time, I got a plenty of interesting Nendoroid photos which I collected from across the web, hence I do not call these mini gallery. ^^; OK, without further ado, let’s go directly to the gallery.
