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

Card Captor Sakura
Following up their previous announcement, GSC has just posted an update regarding the highest demand in the New Product Request section.
Here is a list of highest voted character to be made into Nendoroid: (sorted by highest voted to the lowest)
Spice and Wolf‘s Holo gets the top spot, while Steins;Gate‘s Rintarou Okabe claims the runner-up and Another‘s Misaki Mei grabs the third place.
Anyway, it seems that I am not the only one who requested for Kinomoto Sakura from Card Captor Sakura to be made into Nendoroid. Yatta! ^^
Vocaloid‘s Akita Neru and UTAU‘s Kasane Teto also made their way into the list, as well as Fate/Zero‘s Matou Kariya and …. Lancer!? XD
Well, what do you think about this potential list of upcoming Nendoroid releases?

Final vote result for Nendoroid re-sale request
Did you remember about GSC’s product re-sale polling that was conducted as part of their 10th anniversary campaign? Yep, that particular voting had come to an end since May 1st, and fast-forward to today, it has been two weeks since then.
Apparently, GSC has just finished their recaps and the result has been announced, as you can see in the pic above or you can visit the source link. (Un)suprisingly, there are 7 variants of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku, including the original one (#33), managed to get into Top 20 in the final vote result. XD
Well, what do you think about the result, Nendonesian?

Costume design contest for Snow Miku 2013
Similar to last year, GSC and PIAPRO set up a Costume Design Contest for Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2013 version.
While the theme for last year’s costume was jewellery and crystal, this year’s emphasize is sweeteries, such as cakes, candies, and tarts. Obviously, since this is a design for SNOW Miku, those sweeties should have a snow or ice theme embedded into the design.
The contest has started since yesterday, and the deadline has not been announced yet. If you are interested to participate, you might want to see further details on the source links below.
What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^
