Defects on web pre-order of The defects
It seems that Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version has some serious quality control issues. After being delayed for about two months, the Nendoroid is still facing some problems.
UPDATE: Mikatan mentioned about this problem as well on a blog post.
Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version
The web pre-order version of Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version was postponed to a undetermined timeframe previously, but thankfully, GSC has posted a little update about it.
Well, the Nendoroid is now re-scheduled to late August 2012 release. An arguably vague timeframe indeed, but they promised to keep the customer informed when their Snow Miku is ready to ship.
While you are waiting, let me give you a mix-match idea: XD

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version
The web pre-order Nendoroid from Wonderful Hobby Life for You! 15 (a.k.a last Winter WonFes) are previously scheduled for June release, and then got delayed to July 4th.
Now, both of them are getting yet another delay, as follows:
Personally, I think GSC is trying to improve the quality control of their recent goods, so I give them my respect for that. It is perfectly OK for me to wait longer to get quality products. XD
Well, what do you think about it, Nendonesian? ^^

The final design for Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2013 version design contest has been announced. As you can see in the pic above, among the four finalists, the winner is the 4th one:
Design Finalist #4 for Nendoroid Snow Miku 2013
IMHO, hoodie + white mage-like costume + unique hairstyle for Miku = WIN. I cannot wait to see how the real Nendoroid would look like later on. ^^
Well, what do you think about the voting result, Nendonesian? Do you think the winner deserve it or there is other design(s) caught your attention even more? XD
Note: My favorite design didn’t even make it to the top 4, but I am still happy with the vote result. XD

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Blue Parfait Style
Since its announcement a few weeks ago, some creative folks have started submitting their design to PIAPRO in order to participate for Nendoroid Snow Miku 2013 Design Contest.
Among the current 200+ submissions, Blue Parfait Style is my fave entry so far, personally. It features twirl twintails, a beautiful maid dress (+ cap), as well as a tea set as additional accessories. The design has such a classic European feel, which is one of my favorite theme. ^^
Well, which one is your favorite entry, Nendonesian? Kindly see all the entries by visiting the source link below. XD

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? ^^
