Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Playtime Edition Preview by Mikatan

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Playtime Edition

I know, we are still struggling to find a channel to pre-order this adorable snow fairy … and to put it even worse, Mikatan has just posted a preview article of this highly-anticipated Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Playtime Edition. Apparently, the Hachune-face snowman is a Petit, so its parts are interchangable with other Petits as well. Visit Mikatan’s blog and prepare yourself for an overload of super-moe gallery. ヽ(´▽`)/

Are you aiming for this adorable Snow Miku, 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. ^^

Real Nendoroid Ika Musume?

Nendoroid Ika Musume?

Ika Musume’s invasion is not over yet! Another photo of Nendoroid Ika Musume just popped up in one of Max Factory‘s blog. Whoa … it sure looks more legit now, doesn’t it? Yep, it seems that Max Factory are holding a custom-figure competition (internal contest?) and the finalist are announced in the post.

Now … are we going to see Ika Musume soon – supposedly at WonFes? Well, sit back, relax, and wait patiently for early February, shall we? ^^

DIY Nendoroid Mato and Yomi

Jan19 by animaster

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? ^^

What Happened to This Version of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku HMO?

Jan19 by animaster

Prototype of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku HMO?

Note: Feel free to skip this post, as it is simply a flashback-post which crossed my mind just now. ^^

I remembered back then, when these pics of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku (HMO/Pawlab Studio Edition) leaked just a few days prior to Summer WonFes 2010. Is this one a fan-made Nendoroid or merely a prototype to the upcoming Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition? Personally, I see that cute Miku-chan really deserves to be an original release, thus I secretly hope to see her making an appearance in the upcoming Winter Wonfes 2011.

What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid Petit B.G.M Set Vol.0 Preview by Mikatan

Jan17 by animaster

Nendoroid Petit B.G.M Set vol.0

Yep, this Petit set is finally official, thanks to Mikatan’s preview blog post. Nendoroid Petit B.G.M Set vol.0 was originally announced back then on late December – sans the volume postfix. This Petit set consists of:

Miyamura Miyako from ef ~a fairy tale of the two~
Asakura Otome from Da Capo II
Uesugi Kenshin from Sengoku Rance
Shiino Kirari from Kira☆Kira
Watarai Asuka from Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai

According to Mikatan, this Petit set will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow. While there are no mention of both pricing and release date, I believe that it would be priced at 3500 Yen and scheduled for release on April 2011 – just as mentioned in my post back then.

Are you getting these cute Petit heroines, Nendonesian? Kindly visit Mikatan’s blog for a gallery of adorable heroines in Petit-size. ^^

Note: Yep, I am aware of the “volume 0” postfix – they would release more sets like this one in the future. ^^
