Nendoroid Petit Hatsune Miku Cheerful Contest version is Announced

Dec27 by animaster

Front view

Do you remember Cheerful JAPAN x pixiv contest which ended a few months ago? Yep, the winning illustration has been realized in the form of a Nendoroid Petit.

Rear view

Officially dubbed as Nendoroid Petit Hatsune Miku: Cheerful JAPAN feat. Hatsune Miku Contest version (wow that was a lengthy name! XD), this adorable Petit is featuring Miku jumping in mid-air carrying a pair of pompoms. I kinda like her hairstyle there, as well as her unique pose – never seen in a Petit previously, as far as I know. ^^

This Nendoroid Petit will come bundled with Quarterly Pixiv vol.8, which is priced at 1680 Yen and scheduled to be released on March 9th – yes, it is also known as Miku Day. The pre-order should be available shortly, so you should keep your eyes peeled checking your favorite hobby retailers. ^^

Any thoughts, Nendonesian? ^^

Nov19 by animaster

Nendoroid Petit Yamanaka Sawako and Honma Meiko

Anime Style vol.5, which includes Nendoroid Petit Yamanaka Sawako from K-ON!, is supposed to be released by this month, but it has been pushed to December, while Anime Style vol.6 with Nendoroid Petit Honma Meiko (Menma) from Ano Hana is delayed from December to January next year.

I guess the delay is caused by the strong demand for both magazine issues, forcing GSC to adjust the publish schedule. Well, what do you think about the delay, Nendonesian?

Nippon Ichi’s PS3 Game The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers Bundled with Nendoroid Petit

Nov12 by animaster

Design of Nendoroid Petit Witch Metallica

Upcoming PS3 role-playing game by Nippon Ichi titled The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers will be having a limited edition containing the game disc (obviously! XD), two-discs soundtracks, a hardcover artbook, and Nendoroid Petit Witch Metallica. Seeing the design artwork, it looks like this Petit will have a removable witch-hat, or two type of hair parts. In any case, her design seems pretty unique and somehow badass. XD

Anyway, this whole limited set will cost you around 9800 Yen, and scheduled for Spring 2012 release. Oh and it has been available for pre-order starting today.

BTW, if you want to know further about the game, kindly visit Siliconera or Andriasang.

Well, I apologize for the lack of reviews recently, due to the heavy workload I have been facing. XD

Enough with my short rant, let’s get directly to today’s review, shall we? ^^
