Well, so it’s already the second day of Good Smile Lottery: Hatsune Miku 2012 Winter version. For those who have no idea about this campaign, well, the lottery that officially started yesterday (December 4th) at Family Mart stores across Japan, has a lot of winter-themed Vocaloid goodies as its prizes.
So how did it go there?
The official title for the event is: Good Smile Lottery: Hatsune Miku 2012 Winter version, and as you have known, it features several interesting goodies as its prizes.
As the campaign will officially start tomorrow, Mikatan has taken a time to preview the prizes on her blog.
Nendoroid Gumako‘s #200 numbering was just given away last year, and here we are now looking toward Nendoroid #300. Time sure flies away quickly, huh? XD
Anyway, it seems that GSC is going to celebrate this milestone and throw a “party” to reveal what character will be given the honor to be GSC’s 300th Nendoroid.
Here is the special microsite made specifically for this occassion: http://nendoroid300.goodsmile.info
Currently, the most interesting stuff is the Nendoroid Quiz section, which test our knowledge about Nendoroid. The “practice” quiz is already available now, providing you with 5 random questions with 3 answer options. I Google-Translated the quiz page to challenge it earlier.
Visit this page: http://nendoroid300.goodsmile.info/quiz_top.html if you are interested to test your knowledge on Nendoroid. XD
Anyway, what is your guess about who is going to be Nendoroid #300, Nendonesian?
(Thanks for the news tip, Kendric Koh!)

Mikatan and her co-host, along with representatives from SEGA, Crypton, Famitsu, and Family Mart were having a live Nico Nico broadcast earlier, dubbed as Hatsune Miku’s Time: 3rd Period … although we have mostly known what they are going to cover there, ahead of the broadcast. XD
Nevertheless, the broadcast was fun and entertaining, and we’ve got some screencaps to share with you here.
Yep, it seems that the rumor is true after all: the 30cm-tall Nendoroid Jumbo Miku and Santa Miku will be available as Goodsmile’s Christmas Lottery event Prize A and B, respectively.
Interestingly, the other lottery prizes have also been revealed. See them all after the break – and prepare your wallet. XD
Nendoroid More: Suction Stands and Clip Stands have been announced officially yesterday.
Well, it seems that most of your questions (should you have them XD) are answered in Mikatan’s latest blog post, featuring these arguably-controversial stands.
Kindly visit her blog for more pics and tidbits about them.

Not keen on displaying your Nendoroid with the new suction stands? Well, here is another alternative by GSC: Nendoroid More: Clip Stands.
As its name suggests, the stand’s main feature is the clip, which can be easily attached on the edge of your laptop’s display or any other places.
Here is the product description:
More fun ways to display your Nendoroids!
These new clip stands bring Nendoroid fans a brand new way of displaying their favorite characters! The clip can be easily attached to the frame of your cabinet or the edge of your laptop, allowing you to display your Nendoroids in places you never even considered using before!The arm attached to the clip is articulated, allowing you to move it in any direction so that you can place the Nendoroids exactly where you want them! Each stand comes with joints for both Nendoroids and Nendoroid Petites, so you can display any of your favorite characters from either series!
This product was developed by this year’s new employees at Good Smile Company.
Similar to the suction stand, the clip stand also has three color options: white, pink, and (green) mint. The stand is priced at 500 Yen each, and it will also include both regular Nendoroid and Petites stands.
Well, what do you think about it, Nendonesian? ^^

GSC goes to AFAID 2012
I guess most of you who are going to attend AFAID 2012 should have known about this.
Yep, it seems that GSC will be coming to the first AFA in Indonesia on September 1-2. Here is a statement from AFA’s official Facebook page:
Good Smile Company the worldwide leader in Japanese hobby products and service including the design, manufacture and marketing of Japanese character figures will be coming to AFA Indonesia 2012 this September 1-2 at JI EXPO PRJ Hall A! Please look out for them at AFA ID!
I assume that GSC will bring along their WonFes exclusive products, Cheerful products, and some re-releases.
So … are your wallet ready, Nendonesian? What do you think about this news? ^^
AFAID 2012 and GSC
A few hours ago, the following question was asked in Good Smile Company’s English Facebook page:
We have a question to the Indonesians lives in the Indonesia.
“Where did you buy our figures at the real shop?”
Because we will go to AFA Indonesia, then we want to go the real shops for marketing. Please let me know 🙂
Obviously, this question has sparked a speculation that GSC will be opening a booth in AFA Indonesia 2012, similar to AFA (Singapore) and AFA Malaysia.
What do you think about it, Nendonesian? XD
Anyway, if you are interested to submit your answer(s) kindly go to the source page below. Oh, and please do not choose “Klinik Tong Fang” as your answer(s) there. It is obviously a prank. (-_-“)

Update: Tatsuya has just asked Takanori Aki (President of GSC) about this matter via Twitter, and here is his answer:
A simple “YES” is convincing enough to confirm that GSC is indeed coming to AFAID 2012, don’t you think so? XD
Note: Our donation amount has reached around 40 percent of the minimum amount needed to rent a showcase booth in AFAID 2012.
Thank you for your donation, Nendonesian! 60 percent to go! XD
