GSC Compares Bootleg Nendoroid HMO, Dead Master, and Madoka

Bootleg (fake) vs original (authentic)

Bootleg (fake) vs original (authentic)

GSC has posted yet another bootleg comparison of some Nendoroid. The featured Nendoroid are: Nendoroid Kaname Madoka, Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition, and Nendoroid Dead Master, versus their bootleg counterparts. Out of those three, I personally have difficulties to distinquish between Nendoroid Kaname Madoka and her bootleg version. Well, gotta be careful to purchase Nendoroid from untrusted stores. XD

Anyway, feel free to visit the source pages for more pics and info (in Japanese XD) about the comparison. ^^

Do you remember the custom-made Nendoroid Ferrari Miku? Yep, the maker of said custom Nendoroid is back with … well, another custom-made Nendoroid! This time she modified Nendoroid Dead Master into a military themed custom Nendoroid, dubbed Nendoroid Dead Buster. Whoa … XD

Jump past the break to view more pics of this awesome custom-made Nendoroid. ^^

Custom Nendoroid from Black Rock Shooter Spotted

Re-painted version of Nendoroid from BRS series

Re-painted version of Nendoroid from BRS series

Whoa … what do we have here? Apparently someone is inspired from the white version of Black Rock Shooter (a.k.a White Rock Shooter), and she decided to repaint the whole BRS casts into white-colored theme. The white version of Black Rock Shooter, Dead Master, Black Gold Saw, and Strength look awesome, don’t they? XD

Personally though, I think that the re-painted Nendoroid Strength is the best out of those four. The purple-colored hair looks pretty cool on Strength. What about you, Nendonesian? What do you think about the custom/repainted Nendoroid? ^^

Nendoroid Planet Photo Contest

If you recall our review of the iOS app Nendoroid Planet a few months ago, there is a section titled “The MUSEUM” with 2 sub-section: “Catalog” and “3D Models“. In 3D Models, we can view the 3D-rendered models of a few Nendoroid. Beside zooming and rotating, we can also take photos of the 3D Nendoroid with our environment as the photo background.

Yep, this capability is now being featured as a photo contest. The main rules is simple: submit one photo of 3D-rendered Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter or Nendoroid Dead Master, taken with Nendoroid Planet app. The submission has been started on August 31 and will end on September 22. The prize for best photo submission is a BRS illustration made and signed by huke, plus a signature of Sakamoto Maaya! The winner will also get a copy of PSP game Black Rock Shooter: The GAME. Wooot! (o . o)/

The bad news is … well, the contest is only applicable for Japan citizen. That’s it – international participants are not eligible to participate in the photocon. Awww … (-_-”)

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Black Rock Shooter: TV Animation is Announced

Black Rock Shooter TV Animation

Black Rock Shooter TV Animation

Although the Nendoroid line-up from Black Rock Shooter is quite strong, it seems that the OVA didn’t please much fans back then when it was released last year. That might be what in the mind of BRS Project team when they decide to produce the TV animation version, which is planned for January 2012 broadcast.

Some changes in the main casts are spotted in the pic, such as Black Rock Shooter’s hood, Dead Master’s glasses, and a new girl with yellow-brown colored hair – Strength is mysteriously absent there. Obviously, the man behind that illustration is huke, who also done the original design of Steins;Gate’s characters. ^^

I know, this news might not be related to Nendoroid …. for the time being. Who knows what would happen later? Nendoroid rendetion of BRS TV Animation version look more likely than ever! XD

What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid 128: 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? ^^

Nendoroid Petit BRS-DM versus Their Bootlegs

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 Hatsune Miku HMO Delayed, Dead Master and Hinagiku Updated

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition

I guess it has been expected that there would be some delayed releases because of the large variety of Nendoroid that due in this month. Well, I did not think THIS PARTICULAR NENDOROID would be delayed though. ^^;

As you can read in the title, yep, the release date of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition has been officially delayed to January 2011 – together with Nendoroid Mickey Mouse, while Nendoroid Dead Master and Nendoroid Katsura Hinagiku are scheduled to be released on December 22 (from December 21 and December 24, respectively).

Miku HMO’s delayed release is really disappointing, at least for me personally. Well, I hope that her QC would be better with this delay though. What do you think about it Nendonesian? T_______T

Note: Complete release date for December 2010 can be seen on this page
