Another Look at Nendoroid Black Rock Strength

Nendoroid Black Rock Strength

Nendoroid Black Rock Strength (a.k.a STR) has been spotted for quite a few times already, but the poses were similar – STR wearing the Ogre Arms. This magazine scan revealed STR’s CHANxCO expression and pose (how adorable! ^^), as well as how she looks like without her Ogre Arms equipped. Her pricing has been announced as well: 3500 Yen. No info regarding her release date yet, but I guess GSC would announce it in the upcoming WonFes. ^^

Nendoroid STR is already inside my purchase list. What about you, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter The Magician

Jan19 by animaster

BRS-chan is ready to perform a magic show

*ahem* Sorry for the misleading title – it was intentional. This is not a new version of Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter. She is simply using Nendoroid Mickey Mouse‘s hands there. What does that mean? Well, it should be safe to assume that Nendoroid Mickey Mouse is aleady around the corner now – no more delay … I guess. ^^

DIY Nendoroid Mato and Yomi

Unofficial Nendoroid Kuroi Mato and Takanashi Yomi

So you were asking, “Why does GSC release Mato and Yomi as Petit instead of normal-sized Nendoroid?” when GSC published their WonFes-exclusive Nendoroid a few days ago? Well, this is the unofficial answer: it is possible to create them yourselves. Wait … what!?

Yep, apparently, Nendoroid Kuroi Mato and Takanashi Yomi are possible to be created by mix-and-matching Nendoroid bodies, heads, and other parts. Here are some rough configuration for Mato and Yomi:

(Unofficial) Nendoroid Kuroi Mato
Head: Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter
Face: Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Racing Miku 2010 Edition
Body: Nendoroid Takane Manaka/Nendoroid Kobayakawa Rinko/Nendoroid Anegasaki Nene
(Unofficial) Nendoroid Takanashi Yomi
Head: Nendoroid Dead Master
Face: Nendoroid Arch Bishop
Body: Nendoroid Takane Manaka/Nendoroid Kobayakawa Rinko/Nendoroid Anegasaki Nene

I don’t know where their schoolbags come from though. What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Note: I just thought of an idea … what do you say if we post an article about mix-and-matching Nendoroid parts like this one periodically? ^^

Container content

GSC president, Takanori Aki just tweeted that he has received the first batch sample of Nendoroid Petit Mato and Yomi set, which is scheduled to be sold at this February’s Winter WonFes. Yep, the pic above shows how this set’s container looks like – pretty minimalistic for 1500 Yen though, but hey, we do get a stage (road to school) as well.

Are you getting this cute pair of Petit, Nendonesian?

This winter WonFes 2011 would be really interesting for us, as GSC has just posted their WonFes exclusive Nendoroid. First up is Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Playtime Edition, which has been announced several weeks ago. This new Snow Miku will bring three new adorable faces and a snowman with Hachune face as well.

GSC also put up some info about how to purchase this exclusive Nendoroid in the official page. Japanese could get her either by purchasing directly at GSC booth at Wonder Festival 2011 Winter (February 6, 2011) or 62nd Sapporo Festival (February 12, 2011). For the rest of us non-Japanese, an online web sales is also available at GSC Online Shop on February 7-13, 2011 and we could get her on June 2011. Oh, and she is priced at 4000 Yen. ^^

Nendoroid Makise Kurisu: White Coat Edition

Yep, she is officially dubbed Nendoroid Makise Kurisu: White Coat Version, sold exclusively at GSC’s WonFes booth and GSC Online Shop for 3000 Yen. Brand three new-and-oh-so-cute faces of Makise Kurisu are present, along with her white lab coat. You could get her on February 2011 at WonFes 2011 Winter or June 2011 if we order her via GSC Online Shop. ^^

Nendoroid Petit Mato and Yomi set

For you Petit collectors, GSC also has a WonFes-exclusive product for you: Nendoroid Petit Mato and Yomi set from Black Rock Shooter. A partial street stage is also bundled in the set, so you can pose Kuroi Mato and Takanashi Yomi in their everyday scene on the way to school. This set is priced at 1500 Yen and will be available to purchase on GSC’s WonFes booth and via online sales (released on June 2011).

Personally, the new Snow Miku and Makise Kurisu are a must-get for me, so I am going to mark February 7-13 with special pen on my calendar. What about you, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter: Re-visited

Jan10 by animaster

Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter

Actually, I wanted to write up a review for Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter, but I thought that everyone has already purchased her. So … after a being kinda ignored for a while (sorry, BRS-chan ^^), I decided to take her for a quick (albeit short) photo session a few days ago. ^^

Black Rock Shooter: Nendonesia’s Best Nendoroid for 2010

Jan5 by animaster

Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter is kinda nervous in front of the camera

We have closed the poll for Nendonesia’s best Nendoroid of 2010 which had been running for a week and participated by 165 Nendonesians. Yep, I think you can already guess the winner: Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter. The cannon-wielder swordwoman win by quite some margin – the runner up only got less then 50% of her votes. ^^;

Anyway, here is complete listing of the ten nominee:

Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter – 49 votes (30%)
Nendoroid Nakano Azusa – 21 votes (13%)
Nendoroid Amano Tooko – 20 votes (12%)
Nendoroid Snow Miku – 20 votes (12%)
Nendoroid Saber: Super Movable Edition – 19 votes (12%)
Nendoroid Remilia Scarlet – 9 votes (5%)
Nendoroid Sherlock Shellinford (Sharo) – 8 votes (5%)
Nendoroid Minami Chiaki – 5 votes (3%)
Nendoroid Kochiya Sanae – 4 votes (2%)
Nendoroid Izayoi Sakuya – 3 votes (2%)

Well, 2010 is really the year of Black Rock Shooter, so it is not a shocking result. Nendoroid BRS looks like a complete bargain – 3500 Yen (or less, if you get the discounted one) for a bunch of body parts, accessories, and bundled DVD of the OVA. So … congratulations, BRS-chan! You deserved the Nendonesia’s Best Nendoroid 2010 award. (≧∇≦)/

Anyway, there are 7 of you who opted for “Others”, and I wonder what your fave Nendoroid are. Care to share it in the comments? What do you think about the polling result, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid Petit Kuroi Mato and Takanashi Yomi

I don’t know what event it is, but one thing for sure: they are displaying Nendoroid Petit Kuroi Mato and Takanashi Yomi. The photo quality is not that good though, so I cannot see the information board clearly. The release date is 2011 (that’s for sure! ^^) and the pricing is about … 1500 to 1800 Yen for both of them.

Well, don’t they look adorable? Are you getting them, Nendonesian? ^^
