Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Yukata Style version’s 2nd Expression is Revealed

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Yukata Style version

Personally, I think that Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Yukata Style version is one of the most interesting Nendoroid in the Summer WonFes 2012 – especially for Miku fans. She was firstly teased by Mikatan on her pre-WonFes post, and then fully revealed at the event itself.

Well, now another shot of the cute Nendoroid has surfaced. It looks like the embarrassed face and a fan will be accompanying this version of Miku. Lovely! ^^

Anyway, according to the product sign at WonFes, September is the pre-release date for 39’s CARAVAN Miku event at Hakkeijima between September 15-17, 2012. I have no idea about what they meant by pre-release date, but I assume that the Nendoroid will be released in same fashion as WonFes-exclusive product: on-the-spot event sales and web pre-order sales.

What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Jul30 by animaster

Nendoroid Hachune Miku

Amidst the busy and fully-packed WonFes, GSC has silently posted a pair of Nendoroid who are going to be re-released as a part of their 10th anniversary celebration.

The first one is Nendoroid Hachune Miku, which was originally released at Summer WonFes 2008 – that’s four years ago! XD

Anyway, here is the official description:

The leek swinging Hachune Miku is back again!
As a part of Good Smile Company’s 10th anniversary rerelease project, the 2008 Summer WonFes product, ‘Nendoroid Miku Hatsune: Hachune Face Ver. ‘ is going to be rereleased!

This version of the Miku Nendoroid comes with the fan favorite Hachune Miku face as her default expression, along with a variety of replaceable parts to place her in some fun poses! She also comes with the drooling Hachune face as well as a blank face with stickers so you can create your very own expression!

Nendoroid Makise Kurisu: White Coat version

Nendoroid Makise Kurisu: White Coat version from Steins;Gate is also getting a re-release, as she was originally released on last year’s Winter WonFes.

The assistant in the white coat is coming back again!
As a part of Good Smile Company’s 10th anniversary rerelease project, the 2011 Winter WonFes Nendoroid of Steins;Gate’s tsundere heroine, Kurisu Makise is going to be rereleased!

The WonFes version of Kurisu featured her in the white coat from the game, plus it also comes with a alternate expression to the standard Nendoroid. An extra expression based off the emoticon: “”ヽ(*゜д゜)ノ””, is also included, which fans are sure to enjoy. Combine the parts from this version and the original version to get the widest range of poses possible for your Nendoroid Kurisu!

They are priced at 3000 Yen each and scheduled for December release, with the pre-order starts on August 6, 2012 (22:00JST) until the August 20, 2012 (21:00JST) at Good Smile Online Shop.

More information regarding overseas pre-order are available on their respective official pages.

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? ^^

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

Miku, Rin, and Len

Shanghai branch of Good Smile Company quietly posted three Nendoroid that are going for a re-sale, i.e: Nendoroid Hatsune Miku, Nendoroid Kagamine Rin, and Nendoroid Kagamine Len.
