More Nendoroid Milky Holmes On The Way!

Uncolored Nendoroid Sherlock Shellingford (TV Animation version)

Yep, you read the title: there are more Nendoroid (regular-sized) from Tantei Opera Milky Holmes. In the pic tweeted by Bushiroad’s Milky Holmes Twitter account, there is an uncolored Nendoroid Sherlock Shellingford (Sharo) in TV animation version. It looks like this version of Sharo will be priced at 3000 Yen and they said that she would be different compared to the bundled-with-PSP-game version which has just been released several weeks ago.

Oh and did I mention that Nendoroid Nero, Elly, and Cordelia are also on the schedule? Yep, if you see in the above pic, there is a little board with a drawing of the three other member of Milky Holmes inside it? Here is a zoomed-in version in case you do not notice it. ^^

Nendoroid Nero, Elly, and Cordelia

It is not known whether they would be released as a non-limited non-exclusive Nendoroid though, but hopefully they would. ^^

What about you, Nendonesian? Thinking of getting them too? ^^

Nendoroid Hibiki and Chikagi

Mika-tan’s last blog post for 2010 reveals Good Smile Corporation’s top selling products for 2010. Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter claims the runner-up while her figma counterpart claims the first place. Nendoroid and figma are surely gaining huge popularity (and sales) boost in 2010. ^^

Anyway, TYPE-MOON’s Comiket 79 exclusive Petit from Mahou Tsukai no Hako has their own box now, as displayed in Mika-tan’s blog post. This Petit set is officially dubbed Nendoroid Petit Mahou Tsukai no Hako Set, featuring Nendoroid Petit Hibino Hibiki and Katsuragi Chikagi (also known as Hibichika). Aside from the Petits, this set also includes a booklet (one page is written by Mika-tan) and priced at 3000 Yen. More info can be found in TYPE-MOON’s Comiket page. ^^

Partially colored Nendoroid Ika Musume

Fresh from Yukiwo Ageta’s tweet earlier – Nendoroid Ika Musume‘s hair is already shaped and colored, while her body parts are scattered on the table. Anyway, why are there two Ika Musume bodies?

Nendoroid 39: Kagamine Rin

Dec28 by animaster

Nendoroid Kagamine Rin

Since I am currently in holiday mode, I have a plenty of time to write some reviews during my holidays, so you could expect some reviews coming up this week. ^^

Nendoroid Kagamine Rin finally joins her Vocaloid sisters to be reviewed after Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka. A little biography on Rin: she is the twin sister of Kagamine Len and their family name are a combination of “mirror” (kagami) and “sound” (ne), while Rin and Len means “right” and “left” respectively.

OK, now that you know who Rin is, let’s get directly to the review after the break. ^^

Dec27 by animaster

Nendoroid Ika Musume (prototype) with a Santa Claus figure

I were really busy (read: family time ^^) these recent days that I forgot to check my Twitter on Christmas Day. Yep, this news should be posted two days ago …. but anyway, here are some more photos on Nendoroid Ika Musume prototype celebrating her first Christmas with Mr. Santa as tweeted by Yukiwo Ageta. ^^

New expression from Nendoroid Ika Musume prototype

Whoa!! Is that a new expression (face plate) for Nendoroid Ika Musume? Somehow it seems similar to one of Nendoroid Takane Manaka‘s expression. ^^

Hopefully Nendoroid Ika Musume would be announced officially real soon – probably within the first few days of the new year? ^^

Design of Nendoroid Plus Saber Extra and Caster

I rarely post about Nendoroid Plus Plushie, but I make an exception this time. Well, a design drawing of Nendoroid Plus Plushie Saber Extra and Caster from the PSP game Fate/Extra has popped up in 2ch. Each of them priced at 3675 Yen and the pre-order will start on January 25, 2011 until February 23, 2011. Nendoroid Plus Plushie Saber Extra and Caster is made by Gift and scheduled for April 2011 release.

Well, I am not too fond of plushie, so I will skip this one, but I do hope GSC and TYPE-MOON would release the regular Nendoroid in the future though. What about you, Nendonesian? Are you getting them? ^^
