Nendoroid invasion - Haruhi, Yuki, Mikuru

Nendoroid Haruhi, Yuki, and Mikuru boxes

Some of you people may have known how Nendoroids work or how many parts a nendoroid has. But still, i'll post it right away because i just got my first Nendoroids. Three nendoroids came and invaded my room. They're Haruhi, Yuki, and Mikuru. I didn't get them in the last re-release, and they will be re-released again in May this year, it's a little long wait.

But chance came at the right moment. I asked my favorite local figure store about nendoroids and yes, they said that they can get me these figures. I ordered three of them and got it 2 weeks later. Some figures are sold at a higher price if they sold at the right time, especially when there are no stocks around. But i still got them at normal price, JPY 3000.

Basically, nendoroids are popular because of their cuteness. Big head, small bodies, and chibi art style. Those factors are factors which made nendoroid is different than the other figure. Playing with them in your spare time might be fun. You can't play with most PVC Figures, that's why it's more fun to have these nendoroids around you. Another type of figures you can play with is figma series.

See? The photo above is one of many reason why it's fun to play with Nendoroids. Thanks to GSC, they made nendoroid parts just like computer parts. It's easy to switch parts between one to another nendoroids. As far as i know, i can switch the heads, legs, arms, and the body. Only the face that can't be switched one on to another.

So many parts for each package of nendoroids

These nendoroids come with many parts. I know it's confusing, but if you know the anime and the characters well, you won't get lost at dividing these parts. Another reason why these figures are fun to play with. Many parts means many combination, so you won't get bored faster than normal fixed pose PVC figures. But you have to be careful at keeping all the parts safe and sound. There are so many small parts, so small that you'll have a hard time to find the missing part.

That's it folks. Sorry if the photos still in bad quality. I haven't got any time to build my mini studio and take a good photograph of them. But if the time comes, then i'll have all my new figures and my brother's new Gundams to be photographed at once.

  2. Yeah, that's nendoroids for you. It's fun to play with, really...

    I don't know nendoroid puchi series, but it would be even cuter if you can swap Lucky Star characters' body parts (from Nendoroid Puchi Lucky Star) with Haruhi, Yuki, or Mikuru.

  3. Agree that nendoroid are quite fun, and cute!

    quality of the photos aren't bad :D

    some people have their own style of photographing without the use of lightbox (for example GSC mikatan blog has good photos with background of PC desktop ^^)

  4. Thanks dude. What i mean with bad quality is, candid photos without any preparation.

    I guess good quality photos for me are photos with stories and/or artistic value. (Complicated huh?)
