Nendoroid Info in Latest Hobby Magazine Scans (May 2012)

The magazine scan

After Nendoroid Annelotte (Queen’s Blade Rebellion) went for pre-order last month, the usual “how will the 2P version look like?” thought crossed on my mind.

Thankfully, I don’t have to wait long, as Nendoroid Annelotte: Dark Knight version made her debut in this month’s Dengeki Hobby Magazine. Interestingly, she does not bear the 2P version remarks that have been the case with the previous alternative versions of Nendoroid from Queen’s Blade. XD

*ahem* I have to say that she looks really gorgeous with those red eyes, elven’s ears, and a glittering golden equipments. I’m totally sold, FREEing, good job! ^^

Anyway, it seems that she will be available as a limited and exclusive product, as usual, with a price of 3500 Yen. The evil-looking lady will be released sometimes this year.

Meanwhile, Phat Company‘s Nendoroid Gertrud Barkhorn from Strike Witches series gets another highlight in the magazine scan. This time, she brings along her Striker unit and shares a few new poses with us.

(Un)surprisingly, she is still uncolored, eventhough it is already more than a year since the first time we saw her. At least she got a release schedule, albeit a little vague: Autumn 2012. XD

Note: Oh, and while we’re at it, how are our Disgaea duo (Flonne and Etna) doing there, Phat-san? Hopefully you don’t plan to ~~cancel~~ ~~abandon~~ forget them, because some of us have been patiently waiting since you showed them to us last year. XD

Well then, what do you think about it, Nendonesian? ^^

After being teased previously, Nendoroid Inami Miharu from anime/manga series WORKING!! finally has her prototype shown, courtesy of the latest Hobby Magazine scan. At least two expressions of her has been spotted there: the default smiling (embarrassed?) expression and the upset one. One optional parts that I could not describe is also spotted in the scan. XD

Nov22 by animaster

Nendoroid Taneshima Popura, Sanada Yukimura, and Jack Frost

As usual, the monthly hobby magazine provides us with fresh info for upcoming (and sometimes unannounced) Nendoroid. First, the adorable waitress from WORKING!! will be finally available in normal-sized Nendoroid form. Yes, Max Factory‘s Nendoroid Taneshima Popura will bring along three expressions, a menu book, two glasses of water with tray, as well as a small stool for her to stand. She is scheduled for March 2012 release, with no pricing info announced yet. I guess Popura-chan will be up on Mikatan’s blog to be previewed soon. ^^

Let’s put Nendoroid Sanada Yukimura aside, since we have already known all about him. Well, Nendoroid Jack Frost from Persona / Shin Megami Tensei series popped up again. A new sitting pose is displayed there, and it is mentioned that it will be available on February 2012 – that means a preview of the Max Factory-bound Nendoroid is going to be posted shortly. ^^

Nendoroid Mikumix Miku

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: First Weekly version (a.k.a Mikumix version) is now shown on all poses. She will bring three expressions, along with a mic + stand, a baseball ball, leek, ice cream, and a few more accessories and body parts. She will be priced at 3500 Yen and scheduled for April 2012 release. A preview of her should be available pretty soon. ^^

Nendoroid Generation charms and Nendoroid Petit Ikoku Meiro no Croisee set

Nendoroid Petit Ikoku Meiro no Croisee set is nothing new, so let’s skip it. Nendoroid Plus charms from the upcoming PSP game Nendoroid Generation are being displayed there, revealing new characters compared to last month’s article – is that Millhiore F. Biscotti there? XD Anyway, the whole set of charms are included in the limited edition of Nendoroid Generation, priced at 10480 Yen and scheduled to be released on February 23, 2012.

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? Which news excites you the most? ^^

Nendoroid Info in Latest Hobby Magazine Scans (October 2011)

Nendoroid Menma and Nendoroid from Haganai (inset)

Yes, it is already that day of the month again, where a wave of Nendoroid news stream flows from the Japanese Hobby magazine scan. First up is Nendoroid Menma (Honma Meiko) from Ano Hana, which we have already seen in various pose yesterday. No new pics though, but we do have a release date now: February 2012. Unfortunately, she is still missing her tag price, although I guess it would be around 3500 Yen. ^^

Nendoroid Petit and Plus bundle

The one in the top of the pic is Nendoroid Petit Satomura Koyo, which will be bundled with a PC game titled Fortissimo EXS//Akkord: Nächsten Phase. The game bundle is priced at a hefty 11300 Yen and scheduled for release on December 22. I have to admit that her design is quite awesome there for a Petit, but the pricing is a little too high for me. ^^;

The bottom section of the pic shows us 3 of 8 Nendoroid Plus charm that are supposed to be bundled with the upcoming PSP game Nendoroid Generation. The 3.5cm-tall figurines that were shown here are Nendoroid Plus Takamichi Nanoha, Nendoroid Plus Makise Kurisu, and Nendoroid Plus Hakurei Reimu. The whole game bundle is priced at 10480 Yen and scheduled for February 23, 2012 release. ^^

Nendoroid Petit Set: Shushu & Arutisu + Shasoburu

This Petit set is also bundled with game – but I cannot read the game title. I roughly translated the Petit caption (initially in Katakana): Nendoroid Petit Set: Shushu & Arutisu + Shanburu, it might be wrongly translated though.

The one you see in the pic above is Nendoroid Petit set of Shu Shu Infinite and Altis from the upcoming PS3 RPG Mugen Souls. A little bunny companion named Shanburu (Shambre?) will also be included along with the set. The whole bundle will cost you 9429 Yen, and scheduled for March 2012

Well, personally, I think this Petit pair look really unique and equally adorable compared to other Petits in general. Too bad that we don’t see many full-sized Nendoroid to get such design. ^^;

UPDATE: Nendoroid Annelotte from Queen’s Blade Rebellion, which is scheduled for (Spring) 2012 release. (Thanks for the news tip, munnydunny!)

Nendoroid Annelotte

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian?

(Thanks for the news tip, Jeff Teo! ^^)

Nendoroid Charlotte E. Yeager

Whoa … it is already past 20th of this month, so it is time for some Nendo-news in the latest hobby magazine! First up is Nendoroid Charlotte E. Yeager from Strike Witches series. Aside from the three expressions, she also brings along a set of optional body parts and ~~accessories~~ battle equipments. Well, it looks like she is scheduled for January 2012 release – which means that her pre-order should be available soon. ^^

Nendoroid Petit of top 3 most popular Nihon Falcom heroines

Do you remember about the Top 3 Nihon Falcom heroines which were shown briefly on last WonFes and promised to be made into Nendoroid Petit? Here is the name of those three, for refresher:

Renne (Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki) with 14,619 votes
Estelle Bright (Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki) with 12,940 votes
Feena (Y’s I) with 12,158 votes

It seems that they have received a release date: February 2012. No further availability info about them though, but we will keep you updated as soon as we hear more. ^^

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid Info in Latest Hobby Magazine Scans (July 2011): Aisaka Taiga Revealed!

Jul22 by animaster

Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga

I guess Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga got the spotlight in this month’s hobby magazine scan. Three expressions, a wooden sword, and a tiger miniature. The adorable loli-tsundere will be released on January 2012 for a standard price of 3500 Yen. The bad news is … well, she might be a limited or exclusive Nendoroid, as her pre-order will be available from August 2nd until September 5th. I am not too sure though, because I cannot read Japanese well. ^^;

So … what about the last episode version of Taiga in the lower-left corner? It seems that Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga: Last Episode School Uniform version will be available as a limited/exclusive Nendoroid as well, as I see some dates there: August 29th until September 5th – is it the pre-order period!? No clue yet, but her pricing has been revealed: 2800 Yen – quite cheap for Nendoroid, although she probably wouldn’t come with many parts and accessories. ^^;

Various Nendoroid from FREEing

Although the announcement of Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga has been leaked previously, the latest issue of the Japanese hobby magazine scan still has plenty Nendoroid goodies for us. ^^

FREEing is showcasing some of their Queen’s Blade and Hyakka Ryouran (Samurai Girls) Nendoroid. The limited-exclusive Nendoroid Alleyne: 2P version will be released on September 2011, with a price tag of 3500 Yen. She will be available for pre-order until July 24 on this page: http://hobby-channel.net/nendo_alleyne_2p (not present at the moment).

On the other hand, FREEing is also displaying some designs of the upcoming Nendoroid from Hyakka Ryouran, namely Nendoroid Gotou Matabei and Nendoroid Naoe Kanetsugu. Unfortunately, there is no mention of the announced Nendoroid Sanada Yukimura yet. ^^;

One more scan can be seen after the break.

Nendoroid Ikaros and Nendoroid Imca

The second Nendoroid from Valkyria Chronicles 3, Nendoroid Imca is finally released in a completely-painted version. Her overall design looks great, but the most noticable one is her huge weapon. The gunblade-sort of weapon looks really awesome, and I guess it would be Nendoroid Imca’s main point of interest. Anyway, she is scheduled for August 2011 release with no pricing detail revealed.

On the left side of the scan you can see a prototype version of Nendoroid Ikaros from Sora no Otoshimono series. Well, I could see that the sculptor has paid a great attention to detail – as you can see from her outfit and hair sculpt, as well as her watermelon. I cannot wait to see how her final-colored version turns out later. ^^

More info after the break.

While we have already covered Nendoroid Kousaka Tamaki and Yuzuhara Konomi (Dragon Chronicles version) several times, it is the first time that we see more photos on Nendoroid Kawashima Minami from the anime/manga series Moshidora. Apparently, she would bring along three expressions, her school bag, a small notebook, and a bat. The adorable baseball club manager is scheduled for July 2011 release with a price tag of 3500 Yen. Expect her pre-order (and Mikatan’s preview) to be available soon. ^^
