So I started checking out Harvest Moon Miku, and man what a very beautiful figure. Her hair, her dress, and the colors all come together to craft such a beauty. The ribbon is kind of annoying to put on lol, so I decided to just try it out more later and leave her in this pose. She still looks fine without it, so not a big issue.

Snow Miku 15 might have a really nice plant base and props, but Harvest Moon Miku is a much more wonderful figure, and might even top Fight Club Mako as the best figure from 2015 for me.

She's seriously one of the prettiest Nendos, I think.

 

[Replicant]

Yeah. She's going to be Wonderful Hobby Selection for sure. $200 at least.

.......

Yeah, I'll just wait for the cheaper Nendo/Figma version of it.

Fuck. Now the reality of not living in Japan anymore sets in

They say that, but if you have a good history with them and shoot them a polite email, they usually accommodate you.

 

[Curler]

Not one but TWO new Sakura Kinomoto Nendos! Well, time to pre-order...

 

[Quonny]

Fuck. Now the reality of not living in Japan anymore sets in

I've let my last four month's orders go unpaid.

Still not banned.

They desperate for that USD.

It's recently become apparent just how bad the exchange rate is, now. My last Hobbysearch order was $220 for Cordelia and Nendo Kirby. smh

You can cancel, just ask them. I've cancelled all my scale figures because of no room (I moved) and they did it without any issues.

 

[Wanderer5]

She one of my favorite looking Miku nendos I had seen. And here I was trying to avoid her heh, but unlike Snow Miku 2014 last year, she won out as a purchase at AX.

It's fine, as I did want Cordelia, but I do have to shoot them an email about a couple things I need to cancel.

This recent month lapsed. Not even a threatening email. Just a "yo... We cancel if you don't pay..."

 

[Quonny]

Yep. Same for me every month.

These threats don't work if they don't act on them.

 

[Curler]

Wasn't home to post last night:

EDIT: Some issue with Amiami? Apparently they have a bad certificate right now...

 

[Freezasaurus]

Even if they did act on them, they probably still wouldn't work. It's a bigger negative for them to ban someone if it's a customer who has bought a lot from them before and might buy more in the future.

You'll be able to take this pic at home and be happy in the knowledge that GSC scammed you out of $250.

I don't know what School Shock is, but she's adorable.

Was thinking of getting her. Actually about to order 25 nendos or so. Need some for the rest of the year orders.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Didn't know there was a thread dedicated to this.

Anyway, I got my first ever nendoroids from AX on Saturday.

The main one I was aiming for, and will open up after work today, was Kirby. I wanted Mako, but she was already gone and had no chance of restock, and didn't have much time to check other booths. I wanted one of the two Links, mainly the WW one, but changed my mind (which was good, because iirc amazon has them for a bit cheaper than the GSC booth did).

I didn't have much interest in anything Miku-related, but the Snow Owl one was too good to pass up.

I ended up getting the Metal Blade Mega Man. Dont know why I wanted Camo Snake besides ithis clear green variant, but sine my brother is more a Metal Gear fan than I am, I'll sent it to him.

Planning to keep an eye out for more of these things.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Were the Solid Snake and Mega Man AnimeExpo exclusives?

They are two of the summer wonfest figures this year.

oh, okay. Are they going to be on GSC's shop? Not that I really need them, what with the exchange rate being what it is. Just curious.

Should be.

Actually maybe snake isn't one, nm. Thought he was, but on his info page at the main site, it only shows AX at the moment.

I still can't believe that jumbo Miku is 15k. The first jumbo Miku Nendoroid is on the aftermarket for like, $70.

I want one! Now to decide which one. Stupid Sakura having so many different outfits.

Heh well guess the new one is nicer looking and posable (which the old one doesn't?).

Impressions of Snow Miku please!

Well they are I guess part of the CO-DE Nendo series, so are a bit smaller and cheaper, too. I got both.

 

[Highwind]

Order for the Red and Green/Blue Nend is gonna ship soon. I am using BiJ as a forwarder.

Are the details here correct?

Looks just like mine! Things look good.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Just came back from work and opened the box.

Took the contents out and shows the box can be used, I would guess, serves as a background/diorama.

A lot of parts to change with. Even comes with a cloth hat. This is my first time involved with this, so I have to be careful with this stuff.

 

[Highwind]

Looks just like mine! Things look good.

Great. Just I saw on the example FAQ on the BiJ site that the example address was in english so I am not sure if it would affect my order with them in any way.

I've added a message with my name and order number along with any other details I feel is important to mention.

 

[Quonny]

Thanks for the mini review!

Korra Nendoroid is $41 shipped with $9 in TOM points if you use the code PAYPAL1607 and add at least one other item to your cart that makes the total $100.

It's more first time experience than anything. It's actually a little more difficult than I thought. I was afraid I'd break something.

This is probably the best I can do for now.

Feel like every nendoroid I had gotten has least one thing that is a bit annoying when posing them. Still, they can be a lot of fun to display, and I hope you enjoy your other three nendos too. I can't wait for Snow Miku to come in.

Harvest Moon Miku has her kind of annoying ribbon scarf thing that I finally got on right, through I probably won't pose it with her most of the time.

You'll never truly get over that feeling, believe me!

That said, be thankful you don't have to deal with the original nendoroids, with their ridiculously heavy heads, and no logical way to stop them from toppling over!

 

[Freezasaurus]

You'll never truly get over that feeling, believe me!

Best to leave all your Nendos sealed. SEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLEEEEEDDDDDDDD

The anxiety of not opening the boxes, and then actually opening them, is all too real, haha!

Are CO-DE actually smaller? I keep forgetting the 2 systems are not interchangeable. Always thought of CO-DE as nendos with less parts.

Might not buy those then.

I don't think they are smaller tbh, as you can swap heads with regular nendos, plus on MFC database they pretty share the same height info (3.9in).

 

[spiritfox]

Aren't the smaller ones Petites?

 

[Curler]

For some reason the GSC page made it sound smaller, but not quite Petit sized.

No face swapping though right? Unposeable bodies too.

Actually their faces and heads are exactly like regular Nendos.

 

[phoenix296]

Never enough Mikus.

 

[Wanderer5]

These chinese theme mikus are so nice and cute, but think I'll pass on this one still. Glad she turned out great.

 

[spiritfox]

Is it a standard or a petite?

Standard.

Here Kahotan's blog about her.
