Nendoroid Alice Margatroid and Saigyouji Yuyuko

Nendoroid from Touhou Project series is finally resumed, as proven by Mikatan’s preview on Nendoroid Alice Margatroid yesterday.

From Team Shanghai Alice’s popular Touhou Project game series, comes a Nendoroid of the magician who lives in the Forest of Magic, Alice Margatroid! The puppets allow you to pose Alice showing off her ability to control puppets in battle – just one of the many interesting situations you can recreate in Nendoroid form!

She is going to bring along two expressions, three puppets (although the preview only shows two), her grimoire, and a few other optional body parts. How adorable! XD

Anyway, she will also be released along with Nendoroid Saigyouji Yuyuko, who also gets a resale announcement. Sweet! ^^

Here are a few stores that will accept pre-orders of these Nendoroid:

Overseas customers will be able to pick them up on GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP: http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc

As usual, you can read more info and tidbits as well as more pics of this Nendoroid up on Mikatan’s blog.

A dream collaboration between Nendoroid Petite and Mini 4WD!

Using specially developed parts, the Nendoroid Petite figures can easily jump into the Mini 4WD models and drive around! Each car is specially designed to suit the image and colors of the character that the car is designed for, and the figure mount is actually a cleverly designed battery holder! A set of stickers is also included with the Mini 4WD to customize it your way!

The product page also mentioned some of the Mini 4WD specs:

  • Connectable model assembly kit (no glue required).
  • 150mm long / 97mm wide / 44mm high.
  • Motor included.
  • 2 AA batteries required (not included).

Nendoroid Kusugawa Sasara + Petite Maryaan

Nendoroid Kusugawa Sasara + Petite Maryaan

Following Mikatan’s mention on her preview post, Nendoroid Kusugawa Sasara: Valkyrie version and Nendoroid Petite Maryan from AQUAPAZZA is indeed available for pre-order starting today, as the Nendoroid set gets its own official page on GSC today.

The student council president has dived into the realm of RPGs!
From the 2D fighting game on the PS3, ‘AQUAPAZZA’ comes a Nendoroid of Sasara Kusugawa wearing the gorgeous Valkyrie armor from ToHeart2 Dungeon Travelers! Her huge halberd and shield are both included to wield into battle, and she also comes with effect parts to pose her swinging the halberd.

Gorgeous wing parts are also included which allow you to display her in the power-up pose from the game, with her halberd thrust into the ground and her wings spread wide open. Her partner, Maryan-senpai, is also included as a Nendoroid Petite to complete to student council combo!

Sasara-san and Maryan-senpai are scheduled for December release with a price tag of 4200 Yen.

Personally, I have been waiting for this Nendoroid since the first time I saw her, and with the addition of adorable Petite Maryan, she is a must buy for me. I am glad that she comes up as a standard-run, instead of some limited / bundled Nendoroid. XD

Well, how about you, Nendonesian? What do you think? ^^
