Nendoroid Yagyu Jubei: Opening version and Strength Available for Pre-Order

Nendoroid Yagyu Jubei: Opening version

Nendoroid Yagyu Jubei: Opening version from Hyakka Ryoran: Samurai Girls came out of nowhere to make herself available for pre-order today! 3 face plates (2 of those are epic IMHO ^^) and beautiful hairdo and clothing, plus a pair of removable samurai swords came along with Jubei-chan’s package. I guess FREEing did a good job with Jubei-chan’s design this time – IMHO, it is better than their Nendoroid from Queen’s Blade series. In any case, she would be released on July with a price tag of 3500 Yen. ^^

Meanwhile, Nendoroid Strength from Black Rock Shooter series is also available with the same schedule (July) and pricing (3500 Yen) as Jubei-chan’s today. She has been previewed by Mikatan on Tuesday, so you might want to pay it a visit. ^^;

Well, which one are you getting, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid Homura Akemi

So you have been waiting for Nendoroid from Puella Magi Madoka Magica? GSC has already displayed Nendoroid Kaname Madoka back then in Winter WonFes 2011, and we have already covered custom Nendoroid Tomoe Mami as well.

Well, this time, a Japanese folk has made Nendoroid Homura Akemi to join her Puella Magi Nendoroid. What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Nendoroid Strength Previewed by Mikatan

Mar29 by animaster

Nendoroid Strength

The 4th Nendoroid from Black Rock Shooter series: Nendoroid Strength (a.k.a STR) is getting a preview photo session treatment by Mikatan. Two expressions, a pair of “Ogre Arms” (with joints on elbows and fingers), and some usual optional body parts. Super cool, cute, and nicely done, but I have one concern: why does the symbol in her stand base is a “star” instead of “fist“? ^^;

In any case, kindly visit Mikatan’s blog to view the full gallery on this cute fighter. Oh, don’t forget that her pre-order would be available starting March 31. ^^

Mikatan Shows How to Repair Stand Joint

Mar28 by animaster

Broken stand joint

After covering neck/head joint repair, the latest part of Mikatan’s DIY figure repair articles discusses an in-depth guide about repairing a loose stand joint (or reinforcing joint in Mikatan’s term). The stand joint in this case is the one used on some newer Nendoroid such as Nendoroid Saber: Super Movable Edition and Nendoroid Sherlock Shellingford. Looking at the required items and tools, the repair process does not seem to be hard to be done by ourselves. In any case, visit Mikatan’s blog for the full guide. ^^

Nendoroid 142: Kousaka Kirino

Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino

Note: I was supposed to post a review of Nendoroid Dead Master, but I can no longer hold the urge to write a review on this cute Nendoroid, so I decided to put this review up first. I apologize for the confusion. ^^;

Yay! The Nendoroid rendetion of popular tsundere imouto Kousaka Kirino is finally here for review session! Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino was released at the end of last month. You have gotten her? Good, because since then, she has become increasingly difficult to find in the market. I guess GSC’s production capacity simply could not meet the demand of Nendoroid fans for the cute little sister. ^^;

In any case, go past the break to get into the review of Nendoroid Kousaka Kirino. ^^

Basically, you will need several tools to be prepared before attempting the fix. Further instructions are available at Mikatan’s blog, so pay it a visit and don’t forget to bookmark it as well, as it should be useful for all of us, Nendoroid collectors. ^^
