(Custom) Nendoroid Black Frost is Spotted

Nendoroid Jack Frost and Black Frost

Yes, I put the “brackets” outside the “Custom” word, because I am not sure whether this one is really a custom Nendoroid or an upcoming one – eventually. Why? Because the pics are posted in the blog run by Max Factory’s staff. The blog is intended for internal use though, so any contents posted there are usually considered as personal thought (a.k.a unofficial). XD

Well, as you can see in the pic, Nendoroid Jack Frost is standing beside an evil-looking version of him, known as Nendoroid Black Frost. If you are fans of Persona and/or Shin Megami Tensei series, I think you should have known about him. ^^

Let me take a quote from Persona 3 FES Compendium to describe him better: (reference)

“A Jack Frost that wished for evil powers. This powerful demon is born when a cute Jack Frost remembers its nature as a demon.”

Kindly see all of his pics after the break, if you are interested. ^^

So you have been waiting for years to see the official announcement of Nendoroid Ika Musume and Nendoroid Jack Frost? Well, your wait is finally over as these two have been available for pre-order starting today.

Time to invade the Nendoroid world ~de geso!
From the anime series, “Shinryaku! Ika Musume” comes a Nendoroid of the invader from the sea herself – Ika Musume! She comes with a standard smiling face, a confident expression to proclaim her invasion plans, and a crying face for when those plans inevitably fail.

She also comes with a variety of optional extras from the series, including the umbrella she named ‘Ika #1’, as well as two bendable tentacles that can be swapped out with the standard tentacles. She also comes with beer mugs and prawn fried rice which can be held using the bendable tentacles, allowing you to pose her hard at work as a waitress at the Lemon beach house!

She will be manufactured by Phat Company and priced at 3800 Yen. She is scheduled for July release.

Nendoroid Jack Frost

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!
From the game, ‘Shin Megami Tensei’ comes a Nendoroid of the lovable ice spirit, Jack Frost.

He comes with a variety of optional parts including a fragment of ice that he can create using his magic, as well as a separate set of arms to pose him using the magic. He also comes with an additional set of legs that allow you to pose him sitting down. Keep the adorable Jack Frost by your side to cool off whenever you need!

Max Factory‘s Nendoroid Jack Frost is scheduled for June release and priced at 3200 Yen.

Well, which are you going to order, Nendonesian? Both? XD

Nov22 by animaster

Nendoroid Taneshima Popura, Sanada Yukimura, and Jack Frost

As usual, the monthly hobby magazine provides us with fresh info for upcoming (and sometimes unannounced) Nendoroid.

Yes, Max Factory‘s Nendoroid Taneshima Popura will bring along three expressions, a menu book, two glasses of water with tray, as well as a small stool for her to stand. She is scheduled for March 2012 release, with no pricing info announced yet. I guess Popura-chan will be up on Mikatan’s blog to be previewed soon. ^^

Let’s put Nendoroid Sanada Yukimura aside, since we have already known all about him. Well, Nendoroid Jack Frost from Persona / Shin Megami Tensei series popped up again. A new sitting pose is displayed there, and it is mentioned that it will be available on February 2012 – that means a preview of the Max Factory-bound Nendoroid is going to be posted shortly. ^^

Nendoroid Mikumix Miku

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: First Weekly version (a.k.a Mikumix version) is now shown on all poses. She will bring three expressions, along with a mic + stand, a baseball ball, leek, ice cream, and a few more accessories and body parts. She will be priced at 3500 Yen and scheduled for April 2012 release. A preview of her should be available pretty soon. ^^

Nendoroid Generation charms and Nendoroid Petit Ikoku Meiro no Croisee set

Nendoroid Petit Ikoku Meiro no Croisee set is nothing new, so let’s skip it. Nendoroid Plus charms from the upcoming PSP game Nendoroid Generation are being displayed there, revealing new characters compared to last month’s article – is that Millhiore F. Biscotti there? XD Anyway, the whole set of charms are included in the limited edition of Nendoroid Generation, priced at 10480 Yen and scheduled to be released on February 23, 2012.

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? Which news excites you the most? ^^

Nendoroid Petit Ika Musume set

Whoa … another version of Nendoroid Petit Ika Musume set!? Yep, but this time the set will be manufactured by Phat Company, and it looks like it will be a standard run, instead of limited/exclusive like the one by LMP Motorsport. No clue about the release schedule nor pricing yet, but it should be within next year. ^^

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian?

Nendoroid Jack Frost is Next on Production?

Jan14 by animaster

Nendoroid and figma listing

Well, it is probably not a new info, as Nendoroid Jack Frost‘s name has been mentioned in last summer WonFes, and our Release Schedule page has already had Jack Frost in the record as well. But there was no official confirmation (or re-confirmation) from GSC about it.

A snapshot of recent Nendoroid and figma listing revealed another mention of the cute Persona from Persona 3 there. So … would Jack Frost enter Nendoroid world soon? Let’s wait for a good answer from GSC. ^^

Are you interested to get him, Nendonesian? ^^
