Nendoroid Info in Latest Hobby Magazine Scans (July 2011): Aisaka Taiga Revealed!

Jul22 by animaster

Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga

I guess Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga got the spotlight in this month’s hobby magazine scan. Three expressions, a wooden sword, and a tiger miniature. The adorable loli-tsundere will be released on January 2012 for a standard price of 3500 Yen. The bad news is … well, she might be a limited or exclusive Nendoroid, as her pre-order will be available from August 2nd until September 5th. I am not too sure though, because I cannot read Japanese well. ^^;

So … what about the last episode version of Taiga in the lower-left corner? It seems that Nendoroid Aisaka Taiga: Last Episode School Uniform version will be available as a limited/exclusive Nendoroid as well, as I see some dates there: August 29th until September 5th – is it the pre-order period!? No clue yet, but her pricing has been revealed: 2800 Yen – quite cheap for Nendoroid, although she probably wouldn’t come with many parts and accessories. ^^;
