Custom Nendoroid White Rock Shooter Spotted

Custom Nendoroid White Rock Shooter

The latest post of Kuroyagi-san’s Letter Corner on Mikatan’s blog comes with some interesting Nendoroid pics, and IMO the most interesting one is Nendoroid White Rock Shooter. Yep, apparently there is someone who made a Nendoroid rendetion of the BRS’ rival in the upcoming PSP game by mix-matching Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter, Nendoroid Dead Master, and Nendoroid Black Gold Saw, plus some additional sculpting and painting. It turned out to be a great custom Nendoroid there! ^^

Nendoroid Puchitto Rock Shooter: Support version and Hercule “Elly” Barton Spotted

Jun4 by animaster

Nendoroid Puchitto Rock Shooter: Support version

The 3rd Nendoroid to be featured for the Cheerful Japan project has been revealed: Nendoroid Puchitto Rock Shooter: Support version. BRS fans should have known about Puchitto Rock Shooter, right? Yes, it is a web-based game hosted on NicoNicoDouga featuring characters from BRS, drawn entirely by CHANxCO.

Anyway, from what we have seen in GSC’s live NicoNico broadcast earlier, the prototype of this Nendoroid shows that she will bring along a pair of pompom as the one featured in Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Support version. Compared to the original Nendoroid BRS, the Puchitto Rock Shooter version looks a lot cuter and more adorable. ^^

Nendoroid Hercule Barton

Meanwhile, upcoming Nendoroid rendetion of Sharo’s companion in Tantei Opera Milky Holmes, Nendoroid Hercule Barton (a.k.a Elly) was getting another preview treatment as well. This one is based on the animation version, rather than the game version. ^^

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid BRS: bootleg (left) vs genuine (right)

I guess some of you may have seen the bootleg version of Nendonesia’s Best Nendoroid in 2010 – Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter. Either way, GSC has put a bootleg-vs-genuine article of Nendoroid BRS to help you recognize which one is bootleg and which one is not.

Well then, kindly go visit the page to view the pics (and read the info, if you understand Japanese). ^^

Nendoroid Info in Latest Hobby Magazine Scans (May 2011)

May24 by animaster

Various upcoming Nendoroid displayed

As usual, the latest issue of Japanese hobby magazine brings us yet a plenty of new Nendoroid info and pics. First up, the completed version of Nendoroid Ikaros is displayed there along with the highly-anticipated Nendoroid Nymph (still in prototype though) from Sora no Otoshimono. Nendoroid Ikaros is scheduled for September release with a price tag of 3500 Yen. No availability and pricing info on Nendoroid Nymph though. ^^

Next is Phat Company‘s Nendoroid Kuronuma Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke which is available for pre-order starting today. Meanwhile, FREEing also showcased the limited and exclusive Nendoroid Nyx: 2P version. IMHO, this is the one of the best 2P version of Queen Blade‘s Nendoroid – gorgeous blue-ish color theme suits Nyx really well. Anyway, she will be available for pre-order on June 24 (http://hobby-channel.net/nendo_nyx_2p) and scheduled for August release.

Last but not least, there is also an announcement about the next figure in the Cheerful Japan charity project, which turned out to be a set of Nendoroid Petit from Black Rock Shooter in cheerleader outfit. Looking at the pic, I guess the Petits would have a similar art style as Puchitto Rock Shooter, a NicoNicoDouga web-based BRS game. Pre-order will start on June with a price tag of 3000 Yen.

Well, which Nendoroid interests you the most, Nendonesian? ^^

(Thanks to Jeff Teo and Cybeast for the tip! ^^)

Nendoroid 128: Dead Master

Apr12 by animaster

Nendoroid Dead Master

You may wonder why I do a review of Nendoroid Dead Master (DM) now. Yes, she is supposed to be getting a review right after Nendoroid Makise Kurisu: White Coat version, but I reviewed Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino instead. ^^;

Actually, I have finished taking the review photos back then on February, but I did not quite satisfied with the results. Within this time frame, Nendoroud Kousaka Kirino was released, and I felt really tempted to review her first. After I finished with Kirino’s review, I decided to have another photo session with DM and a diorama set to complete my review photo collection. ^^

OK, enough with the chit-chat, let’s dive directly into the review, shall we? ^^

Nendoroid Strength Previewed by Mikatan

Mar29 by animaster

Nendoroid Strength

The 4th Nendoroid from Black Rock Shooter series: Nendoroid Strength (a.k.a STR) is getting a preview photo session treatment by Mikatan. Two expressions, a pair of “Ogre Arms” (with joints on elbows and fingers), and some usual optional body parts. Super cool, cute, and nicely done, but I have one concern: why does the symbol in her stand base is a “star” instead of “fist“? ^^;

In any case, kindly visit Mikatan’s blog to view the full gallery on this cute fighter. Oh, don’t forget that her pre-order would be available starting March 31. ^^
