After being teased initially at the last year’s WonFes, Nendoroid Jack Frost is finally up for pre-order. Yep, the famous icon from Shin Megami Tensei series will come with a fragment of ice to recreate the scene when he was casting an ice magic. He also brings along a set of additional legs to pose him in sitting position. Adorable! ^^

Anyway, here is the description from his official page:

Hee-ho! I’m sure we’ll make a great team!

Custom-made Nendoroid Mikatan?

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? ^^
