Capsule Corp: Toy Expo 2010 – Day 2

Atmosphere of the expo at noon

Before I begin today’s report on the 2nd day of Capsule Corp: Toy Expo 2010, I want to thank KairiZero for providing the photos to be included in this post. m(_ _)m <(thanks a lot, KairiZero!)

Well, if I were to say three words to summarize the whole event for today, then it would be “crowded“, “cosplay“, and “venomous“. Yep, today is surely packed with cosplayers, customers, and hobbyists from Surabaya and other cities, not counting the drooling and venomous Nendoroid available in the shops. OK, without further ado, let’s see today’s expo in … photos, after the break.

UPDATE: The broken links in images have been fixed.

Capsule Corp: Toy Expo 2010 – Day 1

Dec11 by animaster

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.

A Closer Look at Nendoroid Petit Fuuka from Disgaea 4

Dec10 by animaster

Nendoroid Petit Fuuka

So you pre-ordered the 9975 Yen limited edition Disgaea 4 because they included Nendoroid Petit Fuuka? Well, now you get a chance to get a closer look at the adorable Petit of the infamous Prinny hat girl from the game. Yep, her school backpack and the Prinny hat is removable, but I have no idea about the baseball bat. In any case, you will also get a 44-page art book and two CDs of Disgaea 4 soundtrack selection inside the limited edition package.

Now that you have seen the actual bonus in the pack, are you going to reserve it, Nendonesian? ^^

Note: If she was released as a regular-sized Nendoroid, I would have consider purchasing the limited pack. ^^;

Nendoroid 123: Nagato Yuki (Disappearance version) packaging

Finally I got a Nendoroid to play with this week … it’s Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (Disappearance version)! Yep, she has been released for a while, but due to usual shipment delay to Indonesia, she has just arrived on my desk today.

Hmm … I don’t know whether I could make up a review by the end of this week, because there is a rare toys event held in my hometown, Surabaya. Nevertheless, review for Nagatocchi will be surely up by next week. ^^

Now … where is Haruhi-chan?

Nendoroid Kuroneko Spotted at OreImou Festival (Updated)

Dec5 by animaster

Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino and Kuroneko (Gokou Ruri)

A few hours ago, GSC president Takanori Aki tweeted a photo of both Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino and Nendoroid Kuroneko displayed at the Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai Festival. Well, let’s analyze this photo a bit. ^^

Kuroneko-chan seems to hold something in her hand; is that a DVD case as Kirino’s? Apparently she is also standing on a special mat as stand base – will it be included in the package? … and the last thing is her availability info. The slated release date is rather vague: 2011 (spring?), but she has already gotten a price tag: 3500 Yen.

Are you thinking of getting Kuroneko-chan too, Nendonesian? Have you secured a pre-order for Kiririn-chan? ^^

UPDATE: One more pic (frontal view) after the break.

UPDATE 2: Takanori Aki has just tweeted that they will start accepting pre-orders for Nendoroid Kuroneko this month and it will be announced in Mikatan’s blog. Unfortunately … the mat stand base is NOT included in the package. Tweet after the break.

UPDATE 3: It looks like Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino‘s release date has been pushed back from February 2011 to April 2011. Photo after the break. (Thanks, Yakumo! ^^)

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.
