Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Wonder Festival 13 Edition? (Updated)

Is this Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: WonFes 13 Edition?

A surprising image popped up on 2ch just now as it features Nendoroid Hatsune Miku with a special WonFes 13 stand base which are announced as participation prize for their photocon. While Miku’s face looks pretty similar to the original one, her arms and her legs looks unfamiliar to me.

Well, I have no idea whether this one is Photoshopped but personally, I do hope this Miku is real …. or not, says my wallet. ^^;

What do you think, Nendonesian?

UPDATE: Apparently this one looks more like Nendoroid Petit Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA version which was released as a bundle with the PSP game Project DIVA: Hatsune Miku. (Thanks to Singer_Yuna for the confirmation! My wallet is safe! ^^)

Nendoroid 122: Sherlock Shellinford (Sharo)

Jan14 by animaster

Nendoroid Sherlock Shellinford

The cute detective from Tantei Opera Milky Holmes finally gets a review!! Yep, it is Nendoroid Sherlock Shellinford a.k.a Sharo a.k.a Sheryl, which is bundled as a limited edition pack with PSP game (and some other stuff). The set had been released back then on December 2010. ^^

OK, firstly I have a fun trivia about Sherlock’s name. Aside from having quite some aliases (Sharo, Syaro, Sheryl), her real/complete name is also slightly confusing. When I searched it on Google, her name turned out to be Sherlock Shellingford, but when I looked into her packaging box, her name is written as Sherlock Shellinford (notice the lack of ‘g‘ there). So, which one is her correct name? ^^

Note: For the remaining of this review, we are going to call her Sharo – short, simple, and sounds cute as well. ^^

Nendoroid Jack Frost is Next on Production?

Jan14 by animaster

Nendoroid and figma listing

Well, it is probably not a new info, as Nendoroid Jack Frost‘s name has been mentioned in last summer WonFes, and our Release Schedule page has already had Jack Frost in the record as well. But there was no official confirmation (or re-confirmation) from GSC about it.

A snapshot of recent Nendoroid and figma listing revealed another mention of the cute Persona from Persona 3 there. So … would Jack Frost enter Nendoroid world soon? Let’s wait for a good answer from GSC. ^^

Are you interested to get him, Nendonesian? ^^

Custom Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (Neko Costume version)

Custom Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (Neko Cosplay version)

Back then on April last year, there is a commercial of Lotte ACUO gum which features Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu‘s characters. The complete story of the commercial is as follow:

The commercial has Ikuta Toma (an actor) chewing Acuo gum when he spies an item that is sold out at a boutique. When he blows his “nice breath” onto the boutique clerk, she transforms into Asahina Mikuru. The boutique manager comes over to scold Ikuta for “turning people into anime characters.” Ikuta says “Suimasen” (“I’m sorry”) with his fresh breath, and the manager turns into Suzumiya Haruhi. Confused, Ikuta runs out of the store and runs into alley cats … who all transform into Nagato Yuki.

And this certain neko costume version of Nagato are re-created in Nendoroid form by a Japanese Nendoroid fan. More pics of Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (neko costume version) after the break. ^^
