Linkin Park members with their Petit rendetion's design at the rear
Last Friday, Linkin Park x Good Smile Company are holding an event at Nicofarre in Tokyo, with the title A Thousand Horizon. At the end of the event, there was a talkshow with all Linkin Park members, and that’s when the Nendoroid Petit design showed up. ^^

Hatsune Miku: Cheerful Japan version
Did you recall the illustration contest for Cheerful Japan x Hatsune Miku that was announced last month? Yes, that collaboration project between GSC and pixiv. Well, they have got a winner: an illustration by bun150 – yup, the one you see in the pic above.
As stated in the contest description, the winning illustration will be made into both 1/8 scaled figure and Nendoroid Petit. I have no idea about the naming though, but let’s assume it to be Nendoroid Petit Hatsune Miku: Cheerful Japan version. ^^
For you who are interested to purchase it, here is a little info about its availability: the Petit is going to be bundled with Quarterly pixiv vol.08, which is scheduled for Spring 2012 release. ^^
Anyone interested? Personally, I do interested to get the Petit, but I think I will wait until I see how the Petit rendetion will look like. XD

Aside from Nendoroid Rin and Len: Cheerful version that has been available for pre-order since last week, it seems that Cheerful JAPAN project has another plan for another new figure to be part of the project. This time, GSC teams up with pixiv to hold Cheerful JAPAN feat. Hatsune Miku Illustration Contest. What is that?
Nendoroid Petit Yune
UPDATE: She is not an exclusive after all, and your usual figure store should be accepting pre-orders by now. (Thanks for the tip, Shiddo! ^^)
We have got confirmation regarding the absence of this version of Nendoroid Petit Yune in the last WonFes, after being shown along with the other three Petits at the Japan Expo. Well, it turned out that she will be an exclusive product, or specifically a mail-in order, and bundled with Ikoku Meiro no Croisee TV Anime guidebook.
The Petit itself will include two exchangable bodies, an optional hair parts, as well as a French bread. The whole set is priced at 2000 Yen and scheduled for March 2012 release. If I guess it correctly (I cannot read Japanese after all XD) the closing date for the pre-order is October 7.
Here is the mail-in pre-order form in case you are interested, or you could visit your usual online figure store (recommended) to secure your pre-order. ^^
Anyone of you getting this adorable Petit rendetion of Yune – along with the bundle? ^^
