the moment i laid eyes on this Nendoroid i knew i had to have her, but one thing was in the way at the time. The Price! Sumomo here is a limited edition bundle that comes with the Nantsuiro Drops DS game. Since she came bundled with the game her asking price was $79 not including shipping costs. I had to say no, i may have loved her but $79 seemed way too much for a nendoroid and a game i’d never play.
Lucky Me, I found a sale on play-asia. She was on sale for $49 and since she was so cute and i knew i might be able to sell the game and re-coupe some money i went for it and ordered her!
She really is adorable!
Also today i tried my first ever white background for this shoot, i really need better lamps. I had 4 lamps on her but it still didn’t come out perfectly and some look pink or purple…
Even though the background didn’t come out perfect i really like it and am proud of these pictures!
see how this picture is more white/yellow than pink like the others, i have lots to learn but i do know that i need much better lamps.
This smile is contagious…
Sleeping Sumomo is just awesome! She just looks so peaceful and comfy!
It is however impossible to get her to look comfy while sleeping on her back…
Love the Nendoroid logo on the pillow.

The girls trying on each other’s clothes. Don’t they look cute!
Overall she is adorable, I am a fan of the series so i just had to get her but if you’re not familiar with the show/game then I wouldn’t really see of a reason to get her other than her being cute. Since she’s pretty expensive and since the sale is over on Play-Asia i doubt it’ll be easy find her for a reasonable price. Oh and while i was very apprehensive with my Play-Asia order, it arrived in a timely manner and was packaged quite well. I doubt i’ll be running to them to place more orders but i will most likely keep an eye on their site when Limited Edition Figures are released.

she is so adorable, i would love to get her but i’m broke at the moment (thank you college text books). i would pay the money for her because she is a $79.99 dollar nendoroid figure that includes a game in the bundle.

She really is adorable, one of my favourite nendoroids so far <3 I’m so glad I got her from Play-Asia when she was on sale for only $37.

its kind of sad that nendoroids are numbered as they are released and made to collect the whole line, buts its getting harder and harder to collect the whole nendoroid line.
same w/ figma

@Otaku dan:
if your going to play the game then yeah the price isn’t a problem really. But i’m trying to play the game and since i don’t read any moonspeak it’s hard to understand what the hell i’m doing other than randomly pushing buttons
@Meimi132:
Oh Miku is Awesome! She was a first Nendoroid and i <3 her!
@Coco the Bean:
I think that’s one of the many things GSC is awesome at, Eyes, and not like Danny Choo means. i mean real eyes, the head kind. But even if you mean “eyes” or BOOBIES you can’t really see them anyways…
@lu-k:
I don’t know if its her faces, her pajama, her pillow or Yuki-chan. But everything about Sumomo just screams ADORABLE!!!!
@Laurana:
Seriously that sale was like the best thing that happened to me all month!
@Nemobots:
yeah, since there are also like Wonfes limited edition Nendos as well. Man sometimes i wish i didn’t live her and lived in japan. If only for limited edition figures…

I just stumbled over this entry now, and I thought it was worth pointing out that this is back in stock at Play-asia again. Just ordered one myself. You can’t say no to Nendoroid.
