(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. ^^
