Phat Explains How to Attach Nendoroid Azuki Miho’s Optional Arms Part

Nendoroid Azuki Miho with the arms parts in issue

According to the release schedule, Phat Company‘s Nendoroid Azuki Miho (Bakuman) should already be popping up at the figure stores as well as on her way to your desk by now.

Following up on that, Phat has just posted a quick notice regarding how we install Miho’s connecting arms part – as seen in the pic above.

How to attach the connecting arms part

Well, it seems that Phat forgot to print this instruction in the manual paper included in Nendoroid Azuki Miho‘s box, so they also mentioned their apology in the post. XD

Miku, Rin, and Len

Shanghai branch of Good Smile Company quietly posted three Nendoroid that are going for a re-sale, i.e: Nendoroid Hatsune Miku, Nendoroid Kagamine Rin, and Nendoroid Kagamine Len. It seems that the demand for these three Nendoroid are still high despite the fact that they already have the supposedly-superior Cheerful versions. XD

Anyway, this three Nendoroid re-sale are scheduled for release on July. Note that the re-sale is only available for some retailers, so your fave figure stores might or might not get it. XD

Rinon, the mysterious creature that accompanied her to Earth is also included along with the suitcase that was used as a transmission device in the series. She even comes with the two puppets that appeared in Kaito’s daydreams as well as the ray gun that was used during the filming of a movie in the series!
