Nendonesia Surabaya 2nd Gathering Report

Nendonesia Surabaya 2nd Gathering

Nendonesia Surabaya 2nd Gathering

Nendonesia Surabaya 2nd Gathering was held on Saturday, January 15, 2011 at Grand City Mall, Surabaya. Initially, the gathering was scheduled to start on 2PM, but we waited for some fellow Nendonesians to arrive before starting up – it was an informal event after all. ^^

Anyway, the gathering participants were not as much as our first Surabaya gathering though due to the unpredictable weather and other sudden businesses. Nendonesia’s partner, rendoroid, could not attend the gathering as well, so there was no auction (and less fun). ^^;

Well then, go on past the break for the full report.

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:

  1. Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter – 49 votes (30%)
  2. Nendoroid Nakano Azusa – 21 votes (13%)
  3. Nendoroid Amano Tooko – 20 votes (12%)
  4. Nendoroid Snow Miku – 20 votes (12%)
  5. Nendoroid Saber: Super Movable Edition – 19 votes (12%)
  6. Nendoroid Remilia Scarlet – 9 votes (5%)
  7. Nendoroid Sherlock Shellinford (Sharo) – 8 votes (5%)
  8. Nendoroid Minami Chiaki – 5 votes (3%)
  9. Nendoroid Kochiya Sanae – 4 votes (2%)
  10. 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? ^^

An inspirational New Year quotes:

Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!

Nendonesia wishes you a Happy New Year 2011, Nendonesian! May your Nendoroid be in good health as always through out the year and hopefully they get more friend in the new year. ^^
