Nendoroid Sayaka Miki, Aragaki Ayase, and Menma are Displayed During The NicoNico Live Broadcast

Nendoroid Menma

As predicted, the latest GSC’s live NicoNico broadcast brings along a couple of new Nendoroid announcements. The first one is the highly anticipated Nendoroid Menma (a.k.a Honma Meiko) from Ano Hana. A couple of optional parts are spotted, such as three expressions, flowers, a pile of cakes, as well as ~~a (music?) book~~ Menma’s diary. Considering her production-sample-lookalike stand base, it looks like she will be ready for pre-order shortly. Anyway, did you notice the flower-pattern on her stand base? XD

Nendoroid Aragaki Ayase

Nendoroid Aragaki Ayase from OreImo made an appearance on the live broadcast as well. Three expressions (albeit missing the famous yandere expression XD) as well as a handcuff, a school bag, a cellphone, and a magazine, are all displayed there. It seems that she is still a master figure though, so her pre-order should have to wait a little further. ^^

Nendoroid Sayaka Miki

A prototype of Nendoroid Sayaka Miki from the anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica is also shown on the broadcast as well. Not much details are presented there, but further info should be available soon … I guess. ^^;

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Well then, stay tuned from 20:00 until around 21:30 (JST) on this NicoNico channel. As usual, there might be a new product announcement on the broadcast, like … Touhou Project figures, perhaps? ^^

Oct12 by animaster

Nendoroid Matsumae Ohana

It seems that Mikatan paid a visit to the Bonbori Festival over the long weekend, and that is where we spotted Nendoroid Matsumae Ohana from Hanasaku Iroha being displayed. Today, Mikatan posts a preview photo session of this adorable Nendoroid, who is designed by Kishida Mel, the one who designed the characters from Atelier Trilogy of Arland series. ^^

Anyway, Ohana is wearing the uniform she wears for her work at Kissuisou – the Japanese inn that she started to work at. The apron, ribbon, socks and even geta shoes are all very detailed even as a Nendoroid.

Three faceplates are included in the package along with legged-trays to carry food for the inn’s guests, a wooden broom, a Blue Heron, and … a bondage body, completed with the mouth gag. Whoa … XD

In any case, kindly visit Mikatan’s blog to view more pics of her. The pre-order for Ohana-chan will be available the day after tomorrow. ^^
