Nendoroid Petit Prisma Illya

Nendoroid Petit Prisma Illya‘s announcement was made at the beginning of this year – that was about 9 months ago. The main star of Fate/Kaleid Liner series has been making several cameo appearances at a few events previously … but it is only just now that she is displayed with her 2nd expression at TYPE-MOON Cafe for Carnival Phantasm (located at Good Smile Cafe). ^^

Nendoroid Petit ClariS Set: irony version

As promised, Nendoroid Petit ClariS Set: irony version is available for reservation starting today. Here is the description from its official page:

The junior high idols are ready to make their Nendoroid debut!
The popular idol unit ‘ClariS’, known for singing the opening songs to popular anime series such as ‘Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai’ and ‘Puella Magi Madoka Magica’ is getting the Nendoroid Petite treatment!

This version is based on the ClariS girls as illustrated by Hiro Kanzaki for their debut single, ‘irony’. The set will also come with a special stand that will let you display them on top of the CD case! You can have the ClariS girls by your side whenever you listen to ‘irony’, or their new single – ‘nexus’!

This Petit set is scheduled for January 2012 release with a price tag of 1500 Yen.

Well, I am going to pre-order it since (1) I like ClariS’ tunes and (2) they sung the Nendoroid theme song “Anata ni FIT“, which is included in their latest single nexus. How about you, Nendonesian? ^^

Aug24 by animaster

Nendoroid Petit Linkin Park?

American rock band Linkin Park is partnering with Good Smile Company to hold an event titled “A Thousand Horizon“, which will be divided in 2 parts: A Thousand Horizon Museum and A Thousand Horizon Show. GSC will be selling goodies at the event and part of the sales will be donated to the earthquake affected areas through Music for Relief.

Apart from T-Shirts, iPhone 4 cases, and other goodies, GSC will also make Nendoroid Petit to sell at the event. Since I could not read Japanese well, I can only guess that it would be Nendoroid Petit rendetion of LINKIN PARK’s 6 band members. ^^

What do you think, Nendonesian?
