Nendoroid Petite: iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls & Live Stage is Announced for Winter WonFes 2013
Yep, the first exclusive Nendoroid for Winter Wonder Festival 2013 has been revealed – although we could already guess who will be the second one. XD
Anyway, it seems that GSC will be setting an iDOLM@STER campaign in the WonFes, so their exclusive product is obviously iM@S-related. Yep, as you can see in the post title, it is going to be Nendoroid Petite: iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls & Live Stage, which features three popular idols: Anzu, Kaede, and Rika in their stage costumes.
Well then, are you iM@s fans aiming for this Petite set of cute idols?

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas with Petite Miku Piano Cake version
Yep, Nendoroid Petite Hatsune Miku: Piano Cake version has been released just in time for Christmas day. In fact, the cake + Petite were delivered on Christmas Eve, December 24th.
You are still asking why Miku wears Valentine-themed outfit instead of the usual Christmas clothing? Well, kindly see our previous post about it. XD
Merry Christmas 2012
While I was gone out for almost a full day on Christmas Eve yesterday, it looked like my Snow Mikus did not want to be left out – they hosted a mini party for themselves!
They even invited one of the hottest Nendoroid guest star: Miss Super Sonico to sing the popular Christmas song “All I Want for Christmas is You” for them. XD
*ahem* Anyway, in behalf of all admins and contributors of Nendonesia, I would like to say:
MERRY CHRISTMAS! May the timeless message of Christmas fill your heart and home with joy today and throughout the coming year.
Well then, hopefully your Nendoroid could also join your Christmas party today. XD
