Ever since i got my hands on the Hatsune Miku Nendoroid I’ve been addicted to their adorable enlarged heads and chibi bodies. So now I’ve been on a roll to get Nendoroids of some of my favorite characters and when they announced Shana here i just had to get her.
Once again i’ve had Shana since December of last year but have been very busy and haven’t had a chance to take some pictures.
She really is a cutie and i love playing with her adorable faces and her exchangeable arms.
I never expected myself to really love the nendoroid series like this but they are so cute and too hard to pass up!
I love how she’s so small yet so greatly detailed.
no matter the size of the figure, it should always be made the the highest quality possible and that’s why Good Smile Company has been doing so well lately in the figure industry.
Looking back at last year’s purchases i’ve gotten more Good Smile and Max Factory figures, nendos and figmas than any other figure company.
Maybe i need to start focusing on other figure companies as well. I’m trying to get more Alter figures in my collection, but they don’t always release characters i like.
Now Shana here is just cute as a button and i might need to try and track down the other version of this Shana with black hair and nekomimi.
Shana here is just a nendoroid that I’m proud to have sitting in my collection, plus she looks so cute next to my Max Factory 1/8 Shana.

It occurred to me that the figma doesnt look quite as good as the nendo nor the scale version … anyways nice purchase, the nendo version of shana is my fave out of shana figs out there. Plus it’s actually series authentic
(Shana-tan)

@Jenag:
couldn’t agree with you more, and she’s so much easier to eat in this adorable chibi form! ^^
@OTOhime:
i should have also casted them both off as well!
@Acesan:
i forgot to mention that, when i first got her my brother saw her and he went “oh it’s shana-tan!” Urachai Urachai!

I had issues with GSC when they first started releasing nendoroids. But now…I just love them, they’ve really improved their nendoroid designs significantly. I also agree that Alter goes great work but I often find that they pick characters that I don’t particularly care about. I’m really not a fan of that Nanoha series, and I feel like that’s one of their main focuses lately.

@Lovelyduckie:
when they first announced the nendoroids i was completely apprehensive towards them and wanted gsc to stick to PVC figure instead. But a you mentioned the design has great improved and they are just so cute! Plus when you get to pair the pvc with it’s nendo counterpart, it’s so cute. And with alter, i do like the Nanoha figrue tehy are releasing but i wasn’t that big of a fan to get them all, just the few that call my attention. But what i notice is that Alter’s color scheme seems to be very pale compared to the vibrant colors of GSC and MF figures.

I understand you…. they are so cute!! I dont like flame haze one, the one i want is dengeki daioh one.

I’m happy I got her in Hong Kong.
And I said to myself I was gonna give her a miss, which could’ve been the biggest mistake of my life. lol

You can put dengeki daioh face on the flame haze one and shana will look so cute. I have both, (recently acquired through normal channels) and i really love the details in her eyes!!

I really love her, this shana nendo is too cute! xD But I’m so sad when I found out that I lost her necklace when I came back from a trip with her… D: sob sob

I dont like cute figures at all but yet i had to give in when i was holding my brothers Petit Nendoroid Yutaka in my hands.They are just too adoreable to pass on by. ^___^
I still havent seen one single episode of shana but all i can say is that i prefer her dark haired character design.

Shana is awesome ^^
But like i said so many times on a lot of blogs : I’m still waiting for a good 1/6 scale Shana , with a dynamic pose … the Shana’s available are not good enough for a great character like that … we can choose from like 100 Kanu in any clothes but there is what ? like 5 Shana available but no dynamic pose ? Too bad …
