Next up from the Good Smile offices are the up n coming Nendoroid Petit series. These are just sooo cute.
Folks in Japan can get these at all Circle K convenient stores from the 22nd of November and should be available everywhere else during the second week of December. Each costs 500 yen.
Mikuru is my fave - awesomely cute and going in the car.
There are two different variations of each character. Yuki has removable cloak, hat and wand.
All characters are articulated to a certain extent. None of the parts are glued which has enabled Good Smile to keep production costs low while delivering incredibly good quality considering these are trading figures.
Haruhi looks good in Kyons uniform.

The cheerleader Haruhi is the secret one - not sure if I'm allowed to upload this one ^^;
The hair and face can be taken apart and placed on different characters - which is what I done for the cheerleader Haruhi.

The obligatory kyon-on-female-body shots.
Small and incredible cute - if these were edible then they'd be gone in no time.
I've had a few conversations with folks about the Nendoroid series who tell me that they really don't like the super deformed style - are these up your alley or you prefer the standard scale PVCs?

You can also make up School Days dioramas too.

Nendoroids are not my kinda thing. i prefer standard scale PVC preferably in 1/7 or 1/8 scale, 1/6 is too big. biggest one i have is the 1/4 freeing haruhi bunny girl.

Hoho, real cute and the details are great considering these figures are really small, I would like to get some of those...

I'm normally not a fan of super-deformed PVCs, but the recent Nendroid pictures I've seen have almost always been really neat. I don't know why I like them more than most SD PVCs, but... I do.

First I wanted this petit set because of Tsuruya-san playing the zombie (that the one I wanted the most), but since she will have the same pose in her "normal" nendoroid figure, I canceled my order for petit nendoroid. Won't by any of them, but still fond of bigger nendo ^^ Hey Danny! Don't tease us with this otaku.fm in background! Tell us more!! Quick! j/k ^^;

I think these are adorable, you're more likely to buy one of these even if it's not your favourite series. For eg. I don't particularly like Death Note that much, but I was seriously thinking of buying 1 or 2 figurines (haven't bought any yet!). It's a good introduction to a new series or fandom if you like the characters :3

I voted for Kyon since he's the only one not available in normal Nendoroid. Psst Danny... while you're at GSC's office tell them people want Kyon Nendoroid! "Yare yare..." Though I do like Yuki in witch's hat too. It'd be a good pair for the Max Factory version. Question is... should I order this or not?? I'm so limited after my big Voltes V purchase -_-

Japan has all the cool figures. I'd be broke all the time, but my apartment would be filled with awesomeness.

Since I can only get figures like that for 10 times (or more) the price, I'd only get one if there was a Churuya-san version. But I'm still getting that Yuki swimsuit model. I'll find a way. :P

otaku.fm! hhaa! i saw it!
(ID #63245) Posted on 2007/11/12 10:06
Nice! I wasnt that keen on these at first, as i thought the regular 'proper' nendoroids looked better and were a nicer size, but for 500 yen, ill definately wanna pick up some of these. Love the Mikuru one, though im hoping to get the regular nendoroid version of her as well.

Forgot to mention, Mikuru's actually my favourite character but I really like Haruhi's character design, so I'd buy Haruhi first. Sorry Mikuru~ ;_; +1 vote for Haruhi =D
(ID #63250) Posted on 2007/11/12 11:34
Wow, 500 Yen! When converted, it's only 3.10 Euro. ^^ I like them all, except Tsuruya is a bit hmmm. But if I had to choose one, I would choose Yuki.

I found some of this Nendoroids for pre-order here in brazil... but it´s US$35,00 ... wth... Good smile T_T send me a package! =P I'm sure that I'll be very very happy >D.

I was going to say, "Can I squeeze these until their head pops off?" Then I saw they already come off manually so that's no fun!

I really wanted to buy the Exia Gundam when I saw it on sale at Amazon.co.jp. Then I got sad when it said no international shipping. >_< Danny, have you recommended any good sites to order Gundam from in the past? I know you have side links promoting Nemokid and stuff. I ordered a Suzumiya Haruhi from them. It was kind of expensive.
(ID #63259) Posted on 2007/11/12 12:55
Never finish The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya since when I was watching school started to hand out a big work load so I stopped watching it but its on my watching list. I would probably get Mikuru Asahina.

I like them all. But they kinda remind me of the gatchapon from haruhi, they also had a kind of big head, but you couldn't take them apart. So I definitely want some of them ;p You probably can get full sets for a bit higher price.
(ID #63265) Posted on 2007/11/12 14:56
Excellent! Now if I could just magically transport myself to Japan to obtain them...

These SD look kind of cute. Usually I only buy the larger figures, but since these are Good Smile... Ooh but I'm sure my fiancee will say 500yen?! ^^;

Tsuruya is so cute! Yuki and Mikuru go second~ Awkwardly Haruhi looks- different. Does she have a ponytail in the cheerleader one?

I've wanted Nendoroids for a while, but regular sized figures always find their way onto my cart before them ^^; I do enjoy the style, and hopefully when these Petit things start showing up I'll pop one or two onto my list. They're just the right price! Do you have a picture comparing regular Nendoroid to Petit?
(ID #63274) Posted on 2007/11/12 16:50
I tend to prefer normal sized PVCs. I do go for the occasional nendoroid, but the problem with them is that the heads are too heavy most of the time which makes the figure hard to stand up.

hmm, the whole set is about the price of a regular pvc figure for me, so i might just get them all
(ID #63280) Posted on 2007/11/12 18:58
Wow, those are tradeable figures O_o. The quality is so nice, I might go out and buy them all if they are sold as a set online. 500 yen each is a great price for something like this.
(ID #63286) Posted on 2007/11/12 21:44
This is a rather hard decision to make. All would like them all but if it had to come down to just one, then it's a hard choice.

Yuki Nagato wins for me. She was always one of my fave characters in pretty much any anime series. =D

I`m total fan of Haruhi, but... Mikuru is sooo lovely!!

Lol School Days. I'd like to know what you thought of it danny. Personally, I really liked the art style and the music and that's pretty much it.

omg!!! she looks sooo cute on that cheerleader outfit!! LUV IT >.< :3

love the part when kyon`s head been pulled out
(ID #63357) Posted on 2007/11/13 05:00
looks cool, but i like the normal size PVC better
(ID #63384) Posted on 2007/11/13 08:41
If they make a full size Nendoroid Kyon (I doubt they would, but one can hope ._.), getting all the full size Haruhi Nendoroids would basically be the same thing as having the whole petit collection except bigger and better XD I guess Kyon is the gimmick for this line.

that is nice small figures. Cant believe Haruhi is still so popular i hope they released more anime.
(ID #63430) Posted on 2007/11/13 14:16
Kyon's face looks a bit odd...but the price is pretty good.
(ID #63755) Posted on 2007/11/16 11:07
the interchangable head looks really attractive.. comparing with the quality and the cost of the nendoriod

nendoroids are only 500 yen in japan?! Or only these petite ones. I wanted to get a nendoroid L figure but him alone already costs like $30-40 -_- And that's not even including shipping from japan.
(ID #67386) Posted on 2007/12/19 15:31
Man, these are just ridiculously cute... I would've get get them if I had more pocket money... (Well, isn't it always like that?)

yay...... i love nedoroid so much..... they cute n have reasonable prize... but why nendoroid lucky star only sell in japan ??????

I like Petit Nendoroids a lot. It's an economical way to buy all your favorite popular characters! My only problem with this set is they made the character pairs too alike.

Just bought one yesterday and opened a Nagato with crystal ball. I paid $8.85 at my local Kinokuniya store. It's almost twice the cost of the labeled 500 yen price, but can I do...
(ID #274861) Posted on 2008/08/23 03:40
After getting the regular nendoroids, I was highly reluctant to acquire these "rip offs" (even though they are from the same company ^^U) because of the size, lack of accesories and minimal paint job. That was before I got a Kyon and Mikuru, they are bloody incredibly cute O_o The size and weight makes it no problem to keep them on their stands (something I suffered with the big ones, especially Light and Haruhi). Since they are cheap I don't hyper-ventilate if anything happens to them and they are very portable ^^ I'll follow your example of pose them for pictures of food and such whem I'm out. Only complain I have is that even though they are the equivalent of $5 in Japan, I had to get them for $11 in USA.
