Figure Updates from Winter WonFest 2010 - Nendoroid
Sunday, February 7, 2010 2:07:49 PM

The Winter Wonder Festival of 2010 has just started in Japan, and figure companies showed up their newest line up for the year in this event.
As there are a lot of figure updates for each line I collected, I will create one post for each of them, starting with this one for Nendoroids.
Prepare to raise your defenses fellas, there's a lot coming out this year!

Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter
Release Date: TBA
After we saw the uncolored prototype at C77 event last year, at last we can see the colored version of her. I also noticed that a lot of the new nendoroid displayed here will be using a new type of stand, similar to the one used on figmas. I'm hoping this stand will hold the figure using a type of clamp instead of pegs: I hate to see a hole on the back of my Nendoroids!

Nendoroid Dead Master
Release Date: TBA
If you gonna buy Nendoroid Black Rock Shooter, you ought to buy her too. Apparently she is BRS enemy. I wonder if her large skull will be included like the figma version. Speaking of which, both of them look a bit monochromatic to me.
Frankly, with a lot of exciting announcement today I'm considering not to buy BRS series Nendoroids. Well, only time will tell though...


Bakemonogatari Nendoroid Puchi Set #3
Release Date: TBA
The third Puchi set coming from Bakemonogatari anime series. If you're buying the first and second set, this one is definitely on your checklist.

Nendoroid Nagato Yuki Disapperance Ver.
Release Date: TBA
Based on the newest movie of Haruhi Suzumiya. I'll wait for her official stock photos to see how good she will be. The original one was nice, but it was released before I started my hobby, so I didn't get her.

Nendoroid Suzumiya Haruhi Disapperance Ver.
Release Date: TBA
Again, from her newest movie. The Haruhi franchise is way beyond its prime (especially after the awful Endless Eight arc), and I'm not interested to buy another one. Still, Haruhi fans out there should be aware of her.

Nendoroid Francesca Lucchini from Strike Witches
Release Date: TBA
A colorful version of the second Nendoroid coming from Strike Witches series.
This is one instance of Nendoroid where it doesn't resemble the anime appearance because of the different styling. Better wait for more photos of her before deciding to buy.

Nendoroid Saber Blue Armor from Fate/ Stay Night
Release Date: TBA
We have to wait several years after the anime finished airing to see her properly translated in Nendoroid form. Some site say that this Saber features a new joint system which will provide better articulation.
Frankly, Saber will be the only Nendoroid which is instantly in my checklist for this year.
The other will have to wait until I got better information of them.
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st Nendoroid Puchi Set
Release Date: TBA
We get more Nanoha goodness this time of year, and all Nanoha fans should be overjoyed. Will there going to be a second or third set lurking around the corner? Only GSC know the answer to that...

Nendoroid Neko Aruku FA ver.
Release Date: TBA
Another Neko Ark figure. I don't know where she's coming from so I'll pass on this. By the way she will have the same new articulation system as the upcoming Nendoroid Saber.

Nendoroid Kinoshita Hideyoshi from Baka to Test to Shokanju
Release Date: TBA
This anime is gaining popularity and we will see more figures coming from the series this year. The first one released in Nendoroid form, strangely, is him. Yup, it is the first Nendoroid TRAP character!

Nendoroid Feena Fam Earthlight from Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na -Crescent Love-
Release Date: TBA
Never know the character and where she's coming from, but she definitely is cute


Nendoroid Takane Manaka from Love Plus
Nendoroid Anegasaki Nene from Love Plus
Nendoroid Kobayakawa Rinko from Love Plus
Release Date: TBA
Love Plus is an overly popular dating simulation game in Japan, so no wonder it will receive a Nendoroid treatment sooner or later.
Like the K-On! Nendoroids, it will be a no surprise if these three will be a big hit and their preorders will be filled up in mere hours after they were opened.

Angel Beats Nendoroid Puchi Set
Release Date: TBA
Yet anothet Puchi set. Why there are only two characters displayed? No other comment of this as I do not know anything about it.

Nendoroid Plus Hachune Miku Mecha ver. (?)
Release Date: TBA
Another Miku goodness. This time it's Hachune Miku as some sort of mecha where a smaller Nendoroid of her can ride at the top of the head. Quite strange if I may say....

Nendoroid Mascot (?)
Release Date: TBA
It's an original character, and none other than the Nendoroid mascot introduced in 2009. Looks cute, lets hope it's not another limited item (GSC web store exclusive, anyone?)
And here's a big surprise for you all...

Nendoroid Mickey Mouse
Release Date: TBA
If you are wondering before of what the 100th Nendoroid will be, it's Mickey Mouse from Disney! I recall that this is the first time a Nendoroid is based on a character from the west. His proportion is a bit strange though (looks more like baby Mickey than adult Mickey), but we have to see more photos of him before we can judge him further.
What will be next? I hope it will be Donald Duck
(If it is, it's automatically in my checklist).Well, that is it for the Nendoroid update, the next will be for the Figma line.

Either way, I still pass on the figure because I don't like the style (and I have other priorities to buy
