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.

Mwuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! I’ve been wanting this Nendoroid for a while now and was sad that it was going to be sooo much monies!! She was going for about $79 from when she was first announced so i didn’t really jump the bandwagon since i knew she was so expensive since she came with a game that i knew i’d really never play. But right now i just happened to click on a Play-asia banner and she came up, ON SALE!!! $30 OFF!! I just had to order her! So here i am the same person who talked about how play-asia is so terrible is now buying from them again. Oh well, depends on on how they handle this order depends on if i’ll bother shopping with them again afterwards. I just hope i don’t’ get an e-mail three weeks later telling me she’s out of stock and that i’m screwed…
