Well, don’t they look adorable? Are you getting them, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid and Petit Dominates Japan Amazon’s Best of 2010 Top 10

Nendoroid Nakano Azusa got 2nd place

2010 is surely a good year for Good Smile Company (and their partner Max Factory). Their Nendoroid and Petits (along with figma) dominates the Top 10 Chart of Japan Amazon’s Best of 2010 with 9 out of 10 belongs to them. Here is the top 5 ranking:

figma Black Rock Shooter
Nendoroid Nakano Azusa
Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter
figma Nakano Azusa
Black Rock Shooter (1/8 scale PVC)

I guess next year we will still see their domination in the sales chart, seeing how both Nendoroid and figma are gaining more popularity recently. Anyway, the complete chart listing can be seen here. ^^

Nendoroid Petit BRS-DM versus Their Bootlegs

Nendoroid Petit Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master (left: fake)

Looks like some Chinese manufacturers have released bootleg (fake) version of the upcoming Nendoroid Petit Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master, and GSC has posted an article featuring the differences between the two releases to prevent their customer from purchasing counterfeit products. Well, the glossy faces and awful sculpting are some major characteristics of bootleg Nendoroid, so you might want to take note of it when purchasing these two cute Petits (with bundle!). ^^

Nendoroid Petit Mato and Yomi Surfaced; Nendoroid Lynette Bishop in Action

Dec16 by animaster

Nendoroid Petit Kuroi Mato and Takanashi Yomi

I guess you have already predicted that these two girls will be Nendo-fied, right? Although I do prefer regular-sized Nendoroid, but both Nendoroid Petit Kuroi Mato and Nendoroid Petit Takanashi Yomi from Black Rock Shooter are still as cute in Petit size, nevertheless. ^^

No further info regarding the availability nor the pricing info, but I am pretty sure there are a lot of you aiming for these two cute Petits (yes, including me), right, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid Lynette Bishop from Strike Witches

Nendoroid Lynette Bishop has been under the shadow for a while, but now you got a chance to see her pose up in action. As with the other Nendoroid from Strike Witches series, she also has a striker (or launcher?) unit on her legs. The nekomimi is a nice addition too, as well as the sniper/gun as her accessories. Sadly, there are still no info on her release date and pricing yet, but we will make sure to let you know when we get more info. ^^

December 12, 2010 would be marked as a special day for Nendonesian, especially who lives in Surabaya as we held our first ever Nendonesia gathering at Grand City Mall, Surabaya. We are really proud to be able to hold our first gathering six months after the birth of Nendonesia back then in July 4, 2010 (it was initially named Animaster Talks Nendoroid). (≧∇≦)/

Anyway, before we go through the gallery of our gathering photos, I would like to tell you a few stuff regarding Nendonesia’s site statistics. Let’s go past the break, Nendonesian! ^^

A Closer Look at Nendoroid Petit Fuuka from Disgaea 4

Nendoroid Petit Fuuka

So you pre-ordered the 9975 Yen limited edition Disgaea 4 because they included Nendoroid Petit Fuuka? Well, now you get a chance to get a closer look at the adorable Petit of the infamous Prinny hat girl from the game. Yep, her school backpack and the Prinny hat is removable, but I have no idea about the baseball bat. In any case, you will also get a 44-page art book and two CDs of Disgaea 4 soundtrack selection inside the limited edition package.

Now that you have seen the actual bonus in the pack, are you going to reserve it, Nendonesian? ^^

Note: If she was released as a regular-sized Nendoroid, I would have consider purchasing the limited pack. ^^;
