Custom Nendoroid Ika Musume
Well, it seems that there are a lot of attempts from Ika Musume fans to create Nendoroid version of this cute squid girl. And here is another custom Nendoroid Ika Musume made by a fan named seaman_aki. Yep, it is still unfinished, but IMHO the sculpting looks pretty good. More “development” pics after the break. ^^
Partially colored Nendoroid Ika Musume
Fresh from Yukiwo Ageta’s tweet earlier – Nendoroid Ika Musume‘s hair is already shaped and colored, while her body parts are scattered on the table. Anyway, why are there two Ika Musume bodies? No clue yet, but one thing for sure: Nendoroid Ika Musume is progressing quickly and we should see an official announcement real soon – hopefully. ^^
Note: This post would be updated periodically as soon as new photos and info are available, prior to the official announcement. So keep an eye to this post if you want to stay informed regarding Nendoroid Ika Musume’s development. ^^
UPDATE: Photos of almost-completed Nendoroid Ika Musume by Yukito Ageta
Nendoroid Ika Musume (prototype) with a Santa Claus figure
I were really busy (read: family time ^^) these recent days that I forgot to check my Twitter on Christmas Day. Yep, this news should be posted two days ago …. but anyway, here are some more photos on Nendoroid Ika Musume prototype celebrating her first Christmas with Mr. Santa as tweeted by Yukiwo Ageta. ^^
New expression from Nendoroid Ika Musume prototype
Whoa!! Is that a new expression (face plate) for Nendoroid Ika Musume? Somehow it seems similar to one of Nendoroid Takane Manaka‘s expression. ^^
Hopefully Nendoroid Ika Musume would be announced officially real soon – probably within the first few days of the new year? ^^
Nendoroid Ika Musume prototype
OK, the title might be a little misleading – this is a pre-prototype of Nendoroid Ika Musume, since I assumed that prototype Nendoroid should not be this “rough”. ^^; Anyway, Yukiwo Ageta tweeted another shot of Nendoroid Ika Musume, updated with her tentacle hair. Yep, it is still far from perfect, but at least it shows you that it is no longer a mere dream – it is getting into reality soon … hopefully. ^^
Another view of Nendoroid Ika Musume prototype
Well … I am getting excited to see her final version – at least the uncolored one – soon. What about you, Nendonesian ~ de geso? ^^
Prototype of Nendoroid Ika Musume?
A few days ago, Nendoroid Ika Musume design is merely a sketch on a piece of paper … but in Yukiwo Ageta’s tweet today, she looks more like a prototype Nendoroid! Whoa … would the squid girl from Shinryaku! Ika Musume finally get her own Nendoroid figurine? Let’s just wait patiently for further info from GSC (and Yukiwo Ageta for that matters) ^^
UPDATE: More teaser photo from Yukiwo Ageta.
