Further Details on Nendoroid Gumako and Ikaros

Nendoroid Gumako

Mikatan has just posted a blog article about yesterday’s Good Smile Company 10th Anniversary Party, and there are some info revealed for Nendoroid Gumako and Nendoroid Ikaros. First up, Nendoroid Gumako is part of “Cheerful Japan” project, and the Gusuma seijin (alien) would be included inside the package as well. Further info about this cute Nendoroid would be available in mid-May. (at least one of her other expressions has been revealed)

Nendoroid Ikaros

Mikatan also mentioned that Nendoroid Ikaros would bring two additional face plates – that make it a total of three expressions that would be included in Ikaros’ package, if you sum up the attached face plate. Further details would be revealed soon.

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid Ikaros

It is just a few days ago when we saw a glimpse of Nendoroid Ikaros prototype from Sora no Otoshimono in the latest magazine scan, and now GSC has displayed her, completely-painted, in the GSC’s 10th Anniversary Party. Her clothing and angel wings looks very detailed, and her gradient-colored hair is looking great as well. She would be available for 3500 Yen and scheduled for September 2011 release. I guess her pre-order would be available anytime soon. ^^

UPDATE: More pics of Nendoroid Gumako … her second expression/faceplate is revealed!

Nendoroid boxes to be displayed at the party

GSC ~~staff~~ blogger Mikatan has just posted an article regarding their preparation for the upcoming 10th birthday of Good Smile Company. The party will be held at Akihabara’s Bellesalle building on the 1st of May.

They intend to showcase all of their products that has been released for the past 10 years, but it seems that they are still missing some products. Therefore, Mikatan asked the (Japanese) readers to lend them the missing products and the readers would be given a reward for doing so: three GSC mascot plushies and … any Nendoroid above #60 of the reader’s choice. Wow! ^^

Anyway, kindly visit Mikatan’s blog for further info, as well as GSC’s official site for their 10th birthday party. ^^

Miku Support Saga: Indonesia is Available; Credit Card Transaction Error

Apr12 by animaster

Indonesia is available in the shippable country list

Rejoice, Nendonesian! Indonesia is finally available in the Shippable Country list at Good Smile Online Shop (my eyes is full of tears now). Thanks for all of your support, Nendonesian! ( ╥ ﹏╥)

So … does that mean that we can start to order Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Support version to be shipped to Indonesia!? Well … sadly, no, not yet, because it seems that GSC is currently having some credit card transaction problems that made them to suspend incoming orders temporarily.

At least they have decided to include Indonesia in the list, so we can make our order later, as soon as the credit card issue is resolved. ^^

What do you think, Nendonesian?

Note: Since Indonesia is not in the list, here you go: Nendonesia Hatsune Miku Support version (courtesy of rendoroid) ^^

Feeling curious about the exclusion of Indonesia in the Shippable Country list at GSC online shop, we decided to ask them about it. Here is their email reply – it was left untouched/unmodified:

Dear Nendonesia Admin

The situation of the customs clearance of Indonesia is being examined now.
It is undecided though there is a possibility of delivering it as soon as the situation is understood now.

thanks.

Well, at least they did not rule out the possibility of setting up a shipping channel to Indonesia. What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^
