Nendoroid Tanigawa Kanna will Join Takatsuki Ichika Soon

Announcement of Nendoroid Tanigawa Kanna

So you think Ano Natsu de Matteru would only get a single Nendoroid? Well, apparently GSC does not think so, as they have announced the upcoming availability of Nendoroid Tanigawa Kanna, which will be the second Nendoroid produced for the series.

Unfortunately, apart from the announcement itself, there are nothing else revealed in the magazine article. Some folks over MFC are expecting this Nendoroid to carry various faceplates, including smiling, crying, blushing, and/or drunk expressions. Many fans are also expecting Lemon to be the next Nendoroid-ized character in the series. XD

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

(Thanks for the news tip, Jeff Teo!)

Jun28 by animaster

The voting result

The final design for Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2013 version design contest has been announced. As you can see in the pic above, among the four finalists, the winner is the 4th one:

Design Finalist #4 for Nendoroid Snow Miku 2013

IMHO, hoodie + white mage-like costume + unique hairstyle for Miku = WIN. I cannot wait to see how the real Nendoroid would look like later on. ^^

Well, what do you think about the voting result, Nendonesian? Do you think the winner deserve it or there is other design(s) caught your attention even more? XD

Note: My favorite design didn’t even make it to the top 4, but I am still happy with the vote result. XD
