Nendoroid Faris NyanNyan

Ah … the long wait is finally over – for me, at least. XD

Yep, the lovely maid working at the maid cafe May Queen Nyan-Nyan 2 from the anime series Steins;Gate a.k.a Nendoroid Faris NyanNyan has finally arrived in Nendoroid form.

The figurehead maid at May Queen Nyan-nyan 2!

The ‘hypothetical science adventure’ game Steins;Gate has just recently had a sequel and movie version released, and from that series comes a Nendoroid of lab member number 007 – Faris Nyannyan! She comes with three different expressions including a smiling face, a winking face and a smug expression.

Optional parts include a tray as well as the omlette rice dish with ‘The world is in trouble’ written on it in ketchup. A set of ‘Rai-Net Access Battlers’ cards are also included in Nendoroid size. Plus alternate parts are included allowing you to pose her in her trademark ‘Nyannyan’ pose!

The adorable Faris is hoping you’ll play with her as much as possible! ♪

I cannot wait to see her working in the cafe together with Popura, Mahiru, and Yamada. XD

Anyway, she is priced at 3800 Yen and scheduled for October release, along with ….

Nendoroid Fayris NyanNyan and Makise Kurisu

… Nendoroid Makise Kurisu! Yes, she has been given a re-release to celebrate Faris-tan’s announcement. XD

The third release of the tsundere genius from Steins;Gate!

The ‘hypothetical science adventure’ game Steins;Gate has just recently had a sequel and movie version released, and now Nendoroid Kurisu Makise is being rereleased too!

You can recreate a number of the poses from the game by using the included upset and embarrassed expressions. A few items from the game such as the documents in a paper folder, and her cell phone are also included as optional parts. Enjoy recreating the suspenseful atmosphere of Steins;Gate in Nendoroid scale!

Similar to the previous releases, she is priced at 3000 Yen and scheduled for September release.

Nendoroid 130: Makise Kurisu

Nendoroid Makise Kurisu

I guess a lot of you have already familiar with Makise Kurisu, the heroine of popular sci-fi visual novel and anime Steins;Gate. I have already posted a brief description of her on my review of Nendoroid Makise Kurisu: White Coat version. XD

Nendoroid Makise Kurisu was originally released on January 2011 when the TV animation of Steins;Gate began airing. She was then re-released just in time with Nendoroid Shiina Mayuri‘s release on September 2011.

Well, actually I have already got this Nendoroid last year, around March 2011 (rather than January 2011) because of some shipping delays. Due to my ~~laziness~~ business, I only managed to get the review done just now. XD
