Vocaloid Nendoroid Explosion!

To shunt oOgA’s devious attempt at poisoning me off the front page, let’s have a short review of my recent purchase.

It’s the Vocaloids Miku, Rin and Len in all their Nendoroid glory!

What was originally a trip to take advantage of a figurine sale at a local shop for figmas Rin and Len turned into Nendo shopping spree when I chanced upon a relatively hard to get Hatsune Miku nendo that was dropped from pre-order by someone else. I ended up spending twice as much as expected but hey, it a NENDOROID!

Anyway, this pretty much resolves my nendoroid-less woes. Articulation in figurines ftw.

So first up we have Miku. I think she’s on her 3rd run already so I kinda got her pretty late. She really is popular.

Lets have a few close ups.

Her face makes me melt…

As expected, Miku has TRIPOD POWER, all thanks to her twintails. No worries about lack of support there XD.

Note that Miku here is not the same Miku that appeared in my Nendo Playset special. That was my friend’s ^^

Miku’s hinged twintails are removable. Here’s a close up.

And another close up.

Miku is number one! In the vocaloids that is. We all know who MY number one is

I call this, “An Anatomy of Hatsune Miku”. Yeah, studying human anatomy is getting to my head. Ever touched a cadaver before? XD

Miku seems surprised

Now for the kawaii poses.

<3

*cue the levan polka*

figma Miku joins in

And for our faithful readers, a special little something you should recognise if you watched this vid…

Lets move on shall we ^^;;

Next up is Rin.

I particularly like the face in the middle. It reminds me of Misao from Lucky Star for some reason. VA~

If you noticed the blank face, Rin and Len comes with a set of stickers each for you to customise your own expressions. Handy.

Is it just me or does one of the faces look like Konata’s?

Box comes with cute illustration picture

And here’s Rin herself.

As I played with them, I noticed that they pretty much can’t stand independently (except Miku) though that’s not surprising given their large heads. Blu-tack is also limited somewhat given their weight as well. Oh well, I just have to get creative I guess.

Interestingly, Rin’s ribbon is removable. I do not know why it is so though. Perhaps it is for painting and production.

Do you like half-ribboned Rin?

Now for the kawaii poses again.

3/4 profile…

FANG POWA!

You will listen to her song!

And last but not least, Len.

Len also comes with a blank face and a set of slightly different facial stickers. Will have to explore their uses.

Len also has his own removable hairpiece. Fortunately, he doesn’t suffer too badly from hair-drop syndrome unlike Konata (but I still love Konata).

When hair loss gets serious

Len’s tuft of hair always reminds me of Chiaki from Minami-ke, whose own tuft of hair was most prominently featured in Okawari. I suppose it acts as Chiaki’s  “Bakayarou” antenna or maybe like Okaeri’s ED suggests, a happiness antenna.

Anyway, back on topic to more kawaii poses.

3/4 profile…

An embarrassed Len is fine too…

Incidentally, I noticed that Good Smile Company has an interesting way of making joints…

That’s kinda creepy in its own way…

And now for the obligatory group shot.

Gotta be one of the best shots. Besides the ROFL-copter of course XD

If you are wondering why I didn’t bring out the playset this time round, it’s because I have plans for it. Stay tuned for a little special I’ll be cooking up.

We will now continue with our usual programming, “When Zombie Nendos Attack!!!”

“RAWR~”

Where’s oOgA and his zombie killing friends when you need them?

Incidentally, I’m seriously starting to run out of space…
