Mamitan, the Good Smile Company USA staff posted a quick snap of Nendoroid Sakura Miku, packaged nicely in her pink colored, sakura themed box. Looks very lovely, doesn’t it? XD

On the other hand, GSC has just sent e-mails to the customers who has secured the pre-orders for the upcoming Nendoroid Sakura Miku from Good Smile Online Shop. The mail basically tells us that the shipment will begin on March 6th.

Nendonesia Weekly InstaPicks #6

Weekly InstaPicks

Introduction

We are going to pick ten Nendoroid photos tagged with #nendonesia from Instagram to be featured in the Nendonesia Weekly InstaPicks series, alongside the other series – Nendonesia Weekly Photo Picks.

So why do we separate the InstaPhotos from the rest of our photo channels? Well, because the rate of photo submission from Instagram is extremely high – in fact there are more than 1,000 photos tagged with #nendonesia at the moment, and it keeps increasing everyday. XD

How to get picked?

In order to participate, simply tag your Nendoroid photos with #nendonesia in Instagram. Isn’t it easy? ^^

Oh, and note that we don’t always pick new photos – we will browse through gallery of photos with #nendonesia tag, so if you have tagged some of your photos in the past, that posts might still have the chance to be featured here.

Well then, here are the InstaPicks for this week.

Nendoroid Miki Sayaka and Sakura Kyouko are Getting Re-release

Nendoroid Miki Sayaka and Sakura Kyouko

Good news for Puella Magi Madoka Magica fans who missed out the first release of both Nendoroid Miki Sayaka and Nendoroid Sakura Kyouko, as they are announced for re-sale and available for pre-order starting today.

The exact reason of why GSC decided to release these two is unknown. Is it because of a new season of Puella Magi Madoka Magica currently in the works or is it simply some routine re-releases?

In any case, both of them are priced at 3500 Yen and scheduled for release in May.

Hatsune Miku in racing-themed outfits or widely known as Racing Miku, gets a new design annually. This year’s design was revealed at the Winter WonFes 2013 (or the NicoNico broadcast, for non-Japan residents).

Obviously, it is also followed by the Nendoroid design, albeit merely as an early illustration rather than full-fledged design, as you can see in the pic above.

Here is the original illustration for comparison sake:
