Nendoroid Cattleya, Petit BRS and K-ON! Gets Release Date; Mickey Delayed

Black Rock Shooter Blu-ray/DVD

GSC has just posted an update regarding their Nendoroid and Petit release dates. First up is Nendoroid Cattleya from Queen’s Blade series, which is scheduled to be released on December 16. Black ★ Rock Shooter Blu-ray + DVD limited bundle (with Nendoroid Petit BRS and DM) is scheduled for December 17 release. Nendoroid Petit K-ON! Set will be officially released on December 27.

For you who have been waiting for Nendoroid Mickey Mouse … well, sadly, his release date is pushed back (again) to January 2011. Anyway, I have not seen any release date for Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition and Nendoroid Ayasaki Hermione (Hayate). Are they going to be delayed too? What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^;

Nendoroid 123: Nagato Yuki (Disappearance version) packaging

Finally I got a Nendoroid to play with this week … it’s Nendoroid Nagato Yuki (Disappearance version)! Yep, she has been released for a while, but due to usual shipment delay to Indonesia, she has just arrived on my desk today.

Hmm … I don’t know whether I could make up a review by the end of this week, because there is a rare toys event held in my hometown, Surabaya. Nevertheless, review for Nagatocchi will be surely up by next week. ^^

Now … where is Haruhi-chan?

Nendoroid Kuroneko Spotted at OreImou Festival (Updated)

Dec5 by animaster

Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino and Kuroneko (Gokou Ruri)

A few hours ago, GSC president Takanori Aki tweeted a photo of both Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino and Nendoroid Kuroneko displayed at the Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai Festival. Well, let’s analyze this photo a bit. ^^

Kuroneko-chan seems to hold something in her hand; is that a DVD case as Kirino’s? Apparently she is also standing on a special mat as stand base – will it be included in the package? … and the last thing is her availability info. The slated release date is rather vague: 2011 (spring?), but she has already gotten a price tag: 3500 Yen.

Are you thinking of getting Kuroneko-chan too, Nendonesian? Have you secured a pre-order for Kiririn-chan? ^^

UPDATE: One more pic (frontal view) after the break.

UPDATE 2: Takanori Aki has just tweeted that they will start accepting pre-orders for Nendoroid Kuroneko this month and it will be announced in Mikatan’s blog. Unfortunately … the mat stand base is NOT included in the package. Tweet after the break.

UPDATE 3: It looks like Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino‘s release date has been pushed back from February 2011 to April 2011. Photo after the break. (Thanks, Yakumo! ^^)
