Nendoroid Kirino Kousaka

Saku — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 03:25:38 +0000

Another preorder two days after my previous preorder is definitely not good for my wallet, however, when Kirino is this cute, it’s too hard to resist. The name of “Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai” is not just for show after all. If you haven’t already, please check out my first impression of “Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai” anime which starts running this fall season.

It's kinda cute that they include her cellphone which is a trademark of Kirino

There is nothing more cute thatn grumpy/angry face of Kirino. Her agnry face is just priceless.

I think we have a winner here. Kirino's happy/moe face whether she's talking about her hobbies. I think we all agree that our face is probably like that too when we receive our anime goods ^^;;.

Another cute item included with this Kirino Nendoroid is DVD and a bag. Could the bag be from Comiket ? I wonder which eroge is it on the DVD ? Looks like the fighting game SisCaly. Does anyone know ?

Nendoroid D.C.-da capo- Nemu Asakura

Saku — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 02:38:06 +0000

As you probably already know that I am not into nendoroid in general with some exceptions like if they are from my favourite series, for example, Fate Stay Night. I have three Saber nendos so far ^^ and now, Nemu Asakura nendo will gladly join my nendo collection. Due to recent security issue at Hobby Search, I will be pre-ordering from AmiAmi from now on.

Nendoroid D.C.-da capo- Nemu Asakura by Good Smile Company

I couldn't help but laughed when I saw this image. I think this is the main reason why I decided to get Nemu nendo despite not being a nendo fan. I am willing to make an exception for one of my favourite series, Da Capo.

Not as good as Nemu's angry face but her shy expression is just kawaii~

I am glad that Utamaru is included in this nendo, otherwise, it wouldn't have been perfect ^^

Nendo collectors and DC fans out there, is this in your buy list ?

Nendoroid Saber: Super Moveable Edition

Saku — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 12:20:04 +0000

Being away from home for three weeks, I am really behind with figures pre-orders and releases. I went through Hobby Search site for pre-order list and found this Saber nendoroid for pre-order for 3,810 yen. It’s slightly more expensive than normal nendoroid but it’s Saber ^^.

This nendoroid has an interesting base and stand. The stand is similar to what is used in figma and I guess that’s what makes it slightly more expensive than other nendoroids.

This nendoroid includes three types of face and one of them is the tantrum face. It made chuckle a bit when I saw this and her eyes remind of the face of Saber Lion nendoroid.

In addition, the packaging also includes her sword Excalibur, Caliburn and “Invisible Air” version so there are quite a few parts to play around with.

Another face that comes with the packaging is a smiley face as seen above.

Above is the angry face that also comes with the packaging.

Not only that you will get Excalibur and Caliburn, you will also get her Scabbard (Noble Phantasm : Avalon).

From what I can see that the price seems to be justified with the amount parts you got and not mention the figma-stand alike so you can have her doing a lot of poses. She is available for pre-order from Hobby Search, HLJ, Play-asia, Toylet, Jlist.

Preorder: Nendoroid Saber Lily by GSC

Saku — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:38:56 +0000

Another preorder of Saber Lily and this time is the nendo version. It’s due for release on October 2009. Since I already have Alter Nanoha and Alter Saber Lily from my recent preorder, I had to cancel my Miku “World is Mine”, otherwise, I will go over the limit of 1 figure / month and I know there will be at least pre-order in December 2009 so I would like to keep that month empty. Cancelling Miku saves me about 3,000 yen which is a good thing ^^.

Excalibur, Avalon and Caliburn with its scabbard are all included as separate weapons so there will be a lot of possibilities for poses ^^.

Since nendoroid is generally small, I usually carry it around like what I did with my Saber Lion Nendoroid. Whenever I go to a park or any other places, I always bring her along. Do you have any figures/figmas/nendos that you usually carry with you in your bag ? Danny always carry at least one with him every time I see his photos.

With the great success of Saber Lily, it comes down to one question for all Saber fans (and non-fans). Do you think Saber Lily should be the original Saber instead of her current blue armor ? Do you like Saber Lily version more than the original one ? For me, the white clothing fits perfectly with her silver/shiny armor in comparison to blue clothing + silver amor.

Saber Lily is available for preorder on the following stores:

After seeing a member news about Nendoroid Saber Lion at Dannychoo.com, I couldn’t resist my urge to preorder it >.<. Being a Saber fanboy and all, this would be a nice addition to my collection and it would be my first nendoroid ever ^^. I preordered mine from Play-asia and it will be out in December. This year Christmas will be a very good one for me ^^.
