Nendoroid 144: Kuroneko

Nendoroid Kuroneko

Nendoroid Kuroneko

When I watched Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai (a.k.a Oreimo), I find that Kuroneko left me a strong impression of her personality and habits, compared to the main heroine, Kousaka Kirino, although they are both tsundere. In fact, Kuroneko is my favorite character from Oreimo, despite her role as merely a supporting character in the series. ^^

Now that GSC has made Nendoroid Kuroneko, let’s find out how they present her look and feel in the Nendoroid rendetion. ^^

I have just spent about an hour playing with the Nendoroid Planet app on my iPhone 3GS. Generally, the app is pretty solid, although I did get a few crashes sometimes – I guess the app is intended to work optimally on iPhone 4. Anyway, here are the requirements:

Store: iTunes App Store Japan
Hardware: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch (3rd Gen), iPod Touch (4th Gen)
Operating system: iOS 4.1 or newer
File size: 145 MB

So … how did it go? Read on. ^^

Did you know that the pre-order for Nendoroid Noumi Kudryavka: Summer Uniform version had been available since August 2010?

Nendoroid Date Masamune

“The One-Eyed Dragon is not just for show, you see?”

For you who are familiar with anime/game series Sengoku BASARA, you should recognize this quote from the legendary samurai from the Clan of Date. Well, before we get into our review of Nendoroid Date Masamune, we will dig a little into his profile first. Note that Nendoroid Date Masamune is based of the design from Capcom’s Sengoku BASARA, so it might not reflect the actual facts of the real person. ^^

Nendoroid 129: Hatsune Miku – Absolute HMO Edition

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition

Before we get into the review, let’s see a little background info concerning where the term “HMO” came from. Firstly, HMO was initially used by a composer nicknamed “HMO tokanonakanohito“. He is a composer of Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO), a leading Japanese electropop band. He released a music CD titled “Hatsune Miku Orchestra” with an illustration of Hatsune Miku (drawn by manga artist Kuu) at the jacket. Here’s how it looks like:

This version of Hatsune Miku design is gaining popularity in Miku fandom, so it is only natural for her to get a Nendoroid rendetion by GSC, officially titled: Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition. ^^

Now that you know (at least a little) about HMO, let’s dive directly into the review, shall we? ^^

Nendoroid Dead Master

You may wonder why I do a review of Nendoroid Dead Master (DM) now. Yes, she is supposed to be getting a review right after Nendoroid Makise Kurisu: White Coat version, but I reviewed Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino instead. ^^;

Actually, I have finished taking the review photos back then on February, but I did not quite satisfied with the results. Within this time frame, Nendoroud Kousaka Kirino was released, and I felt really tempted to review her first. After I finished with Kirino’s review, I decided to have another photo session with DM and a diorama set to complete my review photo collection. ^^

OK, enough with the chit-chat, let’s dive directly into the review, shall we? ^^
