Petit K-ON! TBSishop & LAWSON Exclusive Version

Drawing of Nendoroid Petit K-ON! TBSishop & LAWSON Exclusive version

Have you ordered the Nendoroid Petit K-ON! Set? Well, here’s another set to be added to your order listing: Nendoroid Petit K-ON! TBSishop & LAWSON Exclusive version. No real photo yet as they only released the drawing draft of the Petit. As you can see on the drawing, only Azusa, Yui, and Mio is available inside this set … sorry, Mugi-Ritsu fans. ^^;

The official price tag for this set is around 2100 Yen, but since this one is an exclusive (a.k.a limited), you could expect a higher price tag … namely … around 5000 Yen in Play-Asia? Anyway, the scheduled release date is April 2011, so there’s plenty of time for you to save up some cash to purchase this Petit K-ON! set. ^^
