Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version and Akemi Homura: School Uniform version are Delayed (again)

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version

The web pre-order Nendoroid from Wonderful Hobby Life for You! 15 (a.k.a last Winter WonFes) are previously scheduled for June release, and then got delayed to July 4th.

Now, both of them are getting yet another delay, as follows:

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version – TBA
Nendoroid Akemi Homura: School Uniform version – between July 13th – 17th

Personally, I think GSC is trying to improve the quality control of their recent goods, so I give them my respect for that. It is perfectly OK for me to wait longer to get quality products. XD

Well, what do you think about it, Nendonesian? ^^

(Custom) Nendoroid Black Frost is Spotted

Jul1 by animaster

Nendoroid Jack Frost and Black Frost

Yes, I put the “brackets” outside the “Custom” word, because I am not sure whether this one is really a custom Nendoroid or an upcoming one – eventually. Why? Because the pics are posted in the blog run by Max Factory’s staff. The blog is intended for internal use though, so any contents posted there are usually considered as personal thought (a.k.a unofficial). XD

Well, as you can see in the pic, Nendoroid Jack Frost is standing beside an evil-looking version of him, known as Nendoroid Black Frost. If you are fans of Persona and/or Shin Megami Tensei series, I think you should have known about him. ^^

Let me take a quote from Persona 3 FES Compendium to describe him better: (reference)

“A Jack Frost that wished for evil powers. This powerful demon is born when a cute Jack Frost remembers its nature as a demon.”

Kindly see all of his pics after the break, if you are interested. ^^

Nendoroid Tanigawa Kanna will Join Takatsuki Ichika Soon

Announcement of Nendoroid Tanigawa Kanna

So you think Ano Natsu de Matteru would only get a single Nendoroid? Well, apparently GSC does not think so, as they have announced the upcoming availability of Nendoroid Tanigawa Kanna, which will be the second Nendoroid produced for the series.

Unfortunately, apart from the announcement itself, there are nothing else revealed in the magazine article. Some folks over MFC are expecting this Nendoroid to carry various faceplates, including smiling, crying, blushing, and/or drunk expressions. Many fans are also expecting Lemon to be the next Nendoroid-ized character in the series. XD

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Design for Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2013 version is Decided

Jun28 by animaster

The voting result

The final design for Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2013 version design contest has been announced. As you can see in the pic above, among the four finalists, the winner is the 4th one:

Design Finalist #4 for Nendoroid Snow Miku 2013

IMHO, hoodie + white mage-like costume + unique hairstyle for Miku = WIN. I cannot wait to see how the real Nendoroid would look like later on. ^^

Well, what do you think about the voting result, Nendonesian? Do you think the winner deserve it or there is other design(s) caught your attention even more? XD

Note: My favorite design didn’t even make it to the top 4, but I am still happy with the vote result. XD

Nendoroid Nyaruko

Crawling chaos bringer, Nyaruko from the comedy anime and light novel series Haiyore! Nyaruko-san is joining the Nendoroid realm soon.

Yep, Nendoroid Nyaruko is announced today and has been available for pre-order as well! What a surprise! XD

Anyway, here is her official description:

Nyarlathotep – always bringing about chaos with a smile! ♪
From the popular anime and light novel series, ‘Haiyore! Nyaruko-san’ comes a Nendoroid of Nyarlathotep, also known as Nyaruko!

She comes with a number of optional parts such as exchangeable parts that let you recreate the pose from the cover of the second novel, along with her weapon – the ‘hard-to-describe crowbar-like thingy’ that never fails to drop your SAN points. She even comes with three different options for the hair sticking out the top of her head which can be used together with her lovey-dovey expression or the tearful expression she used in episode three of the anime series to recreate all sorts of scenes!

GSC has also put the prototype on display at their GoodSmile x Karaoke Tetsujin store.
