I am a huge Fan of Hanasaku Iroha and to Good Smile Company knows how to pull at my heart strings with not only a new Nendoroid which i Love but a nendoroid of Ohana!

She comes super cute in her work outfit!

Ready to work!

Oh Kyubei, always making a mess! But Ohana will clean it up!

She also comes with the Blue Heron she comes across during the series!

Best of all! She comes with a second body for the episode where she gets tied up bondage style! Yeah, now that is awesome!!

Kyubei offers her a contract to get her out of the bondage gear, or maybe he’s the one who put her there?

Ohana is ADORABLE! I love this nendoroid to bits, she’ll be out for pre-order soon and I’ll be getting her for sure!

While she’s not out for pre-order yet keep your eye on these awesome retailers for she’ll be in stock soon!

Nendoroid Meiko Previews

Dancing Queen — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 23:00:41 +0000

Mikatan has just updated her site with preview pics of Nendoroid Meiko! I’m so glad they are finally making this nendoroid! The main reason I started collecting Nendoroids forever ago was because of this video that had them dancing and Miku has just been released. I pounced and got her and then the Kagamine Twins as well as Kaito! Now that they’ve released Meiko I am a step closer to having them all from the video!

Looks like no magnet design on this nendoroid.

But with the new arm design for the bases it’s easier to pose them in cool poses!

She comes with a little drunk face!

Would you *hic* like *hic* some sake? *hic*

She’ll be out for pre-order tomorrow so no price information just yet but I’ll update the site later with all her info!

For now keep an eye on all these figure retailers tomorrow for her pre-order!

Dancing Queen — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 21:18:05 +0000

TAIGA NENDOROID!!! TAIGA TAIGA TAIGA!!! I’m not sure if you know how much I adore Taiga and how I’m so excited that they’ve FINALLY made a normal scale Nendoroid for Taiga other than a Petite Nendoroid.

Look how adorable her little angry face! Plus she comes with a Tiger!

Back view.

Taiga is not pleased.

I just wish she came with a sweeter moe face too but the great thing with Nendoroids of exchange faces I’ll have her with moe face soon enough! Taiga is out for pre-order now and she’ll be out around January of next year for around 2,600 yen!

EDIT: Was just informed there is a special version you can only buy at Dengeki that comes with a sweet smiling face!

You can pre-order your own ay any one of these totally awesome retailers!

Nendoroid Panty and Stocking

Dancing Queen — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 17:00:10 +0000

Nendoroid Panty and Stocking! Super cute and just an amazing rendition of these characters! We’ll start with Panty and Chuck. It’s a nice addition to have chuck included with Panty.

Oh yes, I’m totally not armed at all!

Muwhaha! I lied! But wait… Two backlaces? That means Stocking must be going commando as well!

The base holds them by a strong magnet in the back of their head which even holds them up for action poses.

Adorable little Stocking.

But is always armed when she’s got her stockings on!

But you can easily distract her with cake!

I love these nendoroids, albeit there really is nothing overly special about them that differentiates them from other nend0roids, but the quality of is always getting better. I love the addition of the magnets instead of a peg. It seems sturdy enough to hold them up yet, doesn’t leave you with a horrible hole in their back of head. I also like the super movable base in pink to go with the design of the figures. I’ll be posting more pictures in a later post of playing with them using alternate faces from other nendoroids in my collection.

Hatsune Miku Orchestra Nendoroid

Dancing Queen — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 17:17:33 +0000

Hatsune Miku Orchestra version, based on the cover of the album of the same name. I’m a huge fan of Nendoroids and while the quality of them overall tends to be the same I do have to say I adore some of the improvements made to the line. More and more Nendoroids are turning into “playable” versions where you get joins in the legs and arms and just get different hands. While it does make them more like an action figure and less like a regular figure that you can modify I do like the improvements.

I love this album cover, now we can only hope they also make a PVC of this design! It would be super awesome if they did!

How adorable are these little glasses?

The megaphone is super cute!

It’s really easy to pose her without the base but the base does make some silly poses much easier.

This face is sooooooo adorable!

I do think this winking face has to be hands down my favorite face!

So cute!

Oh Noes Miku fell!

Miku can play the keyboard too!

Hachune Orchestra Miku!

I love playing with Nendoroids and changing faces with other Nendoroids!

Here she has Takane Manaka’s face. CUTE!

Part of me wants to leave this as her default face.

She comes with two keyboards, just in case you wanted variety or maybe have the Kagamine twins play too!

Also her synth drums, at least that what i think they are, either way an awesome addition to the accessories they’ve given her.

She also has a recorder which is really for Len but I’ve let Miku try her hand at it first! I love my nendoroids and have no favorites, but I do adore this one and it is near the top of the best ones I’ve got in my collection! I feel my Nendoroid collection has come full circle yet It’ll never stop. Full circle since my first nendoroid was the original Hatsune Miku Nendoroid.

She just came out so she’ll be a littler easier to find but still snag yours from any one of these retailers before they all sell out!

Adorable Kaito Nendoroid!

Dancing Queen — Tue, 05 May 2009 02:37:10 +0000

Flickr Link

I’m such a sucker for completing sets when it comes to figures. My first Nendoroid was Hatsune Miku, and so i had to get the cute Kagamine Twins. So once i had that set of three, I knew I had to get Kaito as well! Now for GSC to pull more money from me is to make a Kaito pvc, and figma…

Flickr Link

Such a manly face, Sorry Len he’s the manliest nendo out there.

Flickr Link

But these rosy cheeks do suit him so well! Look at him enjoying his ice cream!

Wanna hug?

I wanna hug!

AWWWWW!!!

He’s just so happy!

I like changing the faces between Nendoroids, here he has one of Shana’s faces.

Flickr Link

With the Kagamine twins!

Flickr Link

With the entire gang! If they make more Vocaloid Nendos I’ll be sure to get them to make the little set complete! Also because I’d love to have them do this little dance!

It’s a Nendo Easter!

Dancing Queen — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 22:02:23 +0000

Flickr Link

So I’m not really the “religious type” more like i don’t believe in it at all… But doesn’t mean i don’t get the days off! Easter was always a day of relaxation and being very lazy with the family. We never did the Easter Ham thing or the go to church thing. Instead we sat around and complained that there was nothing to do since everything is closed. It was also a day for my mom to splurge and get us Yummy Chocolate Bunnies. While i only did an Easter egg hunt when i was little and hated it since the other kids were vicious, i decided to do my own today! But with Nendoroids instead!

Flickr Link

Kyouka wondering why she as a God has to participate in this outrageous event that doesn’t even worship her.

Flickr Link

The Lovely Mellisa Seraphy who didn’t understand that eggs are for eating and not for wearing.

Flickr Link

Lion Saber who only wanted to eat and didn’t want to play anymore.

Flickr Link

Haruhi who was intrigued by this silly idea of hiding colored eggs and Chocolate Rabbits.

Flickr Link

And Shana who just wanted to cut something with her big sword.

For all of you who actually celebrate Easter Have a Happy Easter. For those of you like me who don’t really care, enjoy discount Chocolate Rabbits and Marshmallow Peeps tomorrow!
