Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga is Available for Pre-Order!

Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga (pic courtesy of AmiAmi)

Yep, as you have known, there are three version of Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga: standard version, Dengeki version, and Sailor version. First up is the standard/regular one, which is available for pre-order starting today and scheduled for late January 2012 release. Normal/angry face, grumpy face, a mini-tiger, and a wooden sword is all you would get for 3500 Yen.

Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga: Dengeki version

The second version of the Nendoroid rendetion of Taiga is … well, Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga: Dengeki version, which is exactly the same with the standard run (parts, pricing, and release date), with an additional smiling face and sold exclusively on Dengeki. Pre-order for this version of Taiga is available starting today until September 5, 2011.

You may ask, why would someone get the standard one then? Well, although it is stated that both the standard one and this Dengeki-exclusive one have the same price, the real world price of the Dengeki version will be most likely more expensive, especially for us who live outside Japan, because this is an exclusive. Some stores have already listed her for 4500 Yen pre-order exclude shipping fee. Woot! ^^

Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga: Sailor version

The third one is Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga: Sailor version – previously known as Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga: Last Episode Uniform version. As far as I know, this version of Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga does not include any additional parts and/or accessories other than what you see in the pic above. Yep, you will only get a different expression and sailor uniform of Taiga for 2800 Yen.

The first release of Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga: Sailor version will be sold at Chara Hobby event on August 27-28, while the web pre-order one will be available starting August 29 until September 5 at Dengeki-ya. The pre-order version is scheduled for late January release – similar with the other 2 version of Taiga.

As a side note, apparently all version of Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga will be manufactured by ASCII Media Works and SEN-TI-NEL. GSC will only be doing the distribution only this time. ^^

So … what do you think, Nendonesian? Are you getting any (or all) of these Nendoroid rendetion of the palm-top tiger? ^^

Nendoroid Petit Claude Claudel

Another weekly Petit teaser from Ikoku Meiro no Croisee … this time it is Nendoroid Claude Claudel‘s turn to get the spotlight. He is displayed with his hand holding a hammer – now he is looking more like a craftman, as seen on the TV animation. ^^

Anyway, a new info is also revealed about the Petit set. It seems that Nendoroid Petit Ikoku Meiro no Croisee set will be made by Seven Two and possibly distributed by GSC.

Nendoroid MEIKO

“FINALLY!” That was the first word came across my mind when I see Nendoroid MEIKO displayed back then on last week’s WonFes. I have been waiting for her since the first time I own a Nendoroid from Vocaloid Character series – yes, it was Luka. ^^

… and today Nendoroid MEIKO has been given a preview treatment by Mikatan. Three faceplates, a mic + mic-stand, a liquor can and bottle, a glass, and also a couple of optional body parts. She can also be displayed in sitting-pose! Whoa whoa whoa! (o . O)/

Well then, you can visit Mikatan’s blog to view more pics of this senior Vocaloid. Oh, and her pre-order should be available tomorrow. ^^

Personally, she is an INSTANT-GET for me … Are you getting her as well, Nendonesian? XD

(Thanks for the tip, avalonexa! ^^)
