Nendoroid Taneshima Popura and her box

Yep, we are having a double Nendoroid release today. The first one is Max Factory‘s Nendoroid Taneshima Popura from WORKING!!. Popura will be the first staff to join Wagnaria, but it seems that she has to wait, because the family restaurant will not be finished until next month. XD

Improved Stand-Base for Re-sale Version of Nendoroid Date Masamune

Better base adapter for Nendoroid Date Masamune

If you have read our review of Nendoroid Date Masamune, you should have known that his base adapter is a little quirky. Based on my own experience, it is kinda hard to dock Masamune onto the base and it is not too stable as well.

Fortunately, Phat Company will have this problem fixed on the upcoming re-sale version of the one-eyed dragon‘s Nendoroid rendetion. They promise better stability and easier docking with this improved base adapter. Note that they only modify the base adapter; no changes to Masamune’s body or other parts.

As for those who have purchased the first edition of this Nendoroid, it seems that Phat Company is currently looking into various solution to distribute the updated base adapter (excluding the pedestal and pillar). No further info has been confirmed though.

Any thoughts, Nendonesian?

Whoa … is that a custom Nendoroid Mikatan? She looks really adorable there, along with her trusty DSLR camera, chair, kitty-slippers, and a cardboard containing the reviewed product. DO WANT! XD

Unfortunately that photo has been removed from the post for some unknown reasons – perhaps she doesn’t want you to spam her with emails to ask about it. The photo popped up in my RSS reader along with the post earlier, but it seems that the real post has been updated, sans the photo.

In any case … what do you think about the revealed Nendo-info, Nendonesian? Any thoughts about the custom Nendoroid Mikatan as well? ^^

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. ^^
