Today I was invited over by Good Smile Company to the figure event for traders and sellers that’s held after each Wonfes.
Today we are going to take a look at some of the Figma’s and according to comrade Shimazou at Hobby Stock, some of these Nendoroids are being displayed for the first time.

The event was held in Akiba which was a pleasant change from this time last year at Kanda. Also got to spend quality time with some of the other figure makers so expect more exclusives - not just from Good Smile and Max Factory all the time ^^;
First up are the Nendoroid Puchi Idolmaster figures. As you can see the hair is matt and not shiny as when they were first displayed at the Idol Master concert.
Next up are the Haruhi Nendoroid Puchi.
Then its Nendoroid Rin and Len.
Neuro Nougami and Yako Katsuragi.
Shanna-chan.
Sakura Nankyoku from Pen Musu.
Saber Lion Nendoroid.
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
Kyouka Midarezaki - you saw her first at dannychoo.com previously - much more to come ^^;
Yoko Nendoroid.
Kagami - Out next month. Want now!
Tsukasa - out this month.
Miyuki Figma out November.
Seto Figma - there is a suprise that comes with this one ^^;
Looks like they didnt stick the head on properly for this Tsuruya-san Figma. Want yesterday!
Going to be tough to carry around due to the mass of hair.
I have a feeling that I will have this next week for some reason...
Saber Lily. Must. Have.
Spinzaku.
Rin and Len Figma.
Hatsune Miku Figma.
Ryoumo Figma.
Its been a long day - me forgets her name. Name that Figma.
The Tigers get their mascot Figmatized.
Another one you saw here first - Doala Figma.
So, a load of Figma and Nendoroid you have seen in this article. For those who still dont know, Figma's are the articulated ones and Nendoroid's are the ones with the huge heads. Which of these do you prefer? Or do you prefer neither and like the scale figures instead?
I actually like the Figma's a lot as you can fidget with them and are easy to carry around.

Is there anybody out there that does not want this figure?

Blimey! Am i the first? Some nice pics there - i frickin LOVE the Yoko nendoroid - ill be getting that. As for the poll, generally, i much prefer standard scale non-poseable figures as the quality and likeness is much better, they are larger, have no joints, are solid/ sturdy and dont come with hundreds of little accessories that end up cluttering the place up. Plus, i dont 'play' or pose my figures - id rather have a brilliantly modeled one in a set pose, rather than a so-so one that is covered with joints and only looks good in a few poses.
(ID #258548) Posted on 2008/08/06 21:16
i'll have to agree with you... those joints are kinda weird looking especially the saber lily
(ID #258975) Posted on 2008/08/07 08:36
do note that saber lily is sold as a bundle with Fate / UC game...that'll cost you 10,000 yen ++ a scaled saber lily PVC bundled with the game would easily reach 15,000 yen ++ I pick the lesser of 2 evils lol

OMG A NENDOROID YOKO! I too will definitely consider getting that one ...

Must get the Saber Lion Nendoroid and Shana of course. :) (Though I still prefer the black-haired one of Shana.) The unnamed Figma is Hayate Yagami from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (A's and StrikerS). :)

I can't wait until Goodsmile releases that Yoko nendoroid; she is so cute! I hope they make a Kamina, Viral &Simon later on. And Nogami Neuro &Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei nendoroid's. WANT! Oh, nendoroid's, I will never quit you. As for the FIGMA's, I really want the Len and Rin figma's. And Spinzaku. ;o;

I'm not a fan of figma, partly because they are smaller than one might expect, but making them bigger would have made the joints more noticeable. I think nendroids cater more to my dorky enjoyment of silliness.

I prefer standard scale figures, but I adore the Nendoroids, especially the ones of Yoko, Shana, and Lion Saber. The Figma series are fun to pose your favorite characters in, but I just don't like how obvious the joints stand out...though admitedly the newer series make the leg joints less noticeable. I only consider buying the ones like Saber or Lily Saber Figma series where they're wearing armor since the joints are almost invisible.

OMG ! I LOVE the Sakura Nankyoku nendo ... must have !
(ID #258579) Posted on 2008/08/06 21:53
I find nendoroids very cute, but I don't foresee myself building up a collection anytime soon. So far, I only have a few. I have zero figmas and it'll likely remain that way. Not a fan of joints (ugh, seto-san) nor taking figures out to make poses. I'll just stick with standard scale figures.

Yoko... want... NOW!

I want Saber Figma Lily so bad, but not enough for the game (>_<). If only those joints were a little bit more hidden. Hmm, maybe a shoulder armor plate?

I can feel my wallet getting lighter already, lol.

It could be just me, but the current Hatsune Miku figma looks a little strange. I was told that Ryouko Asakura will also get figamitised too. Is that true?

I notice that in other pictures, sometimes Miku figma look OK in other a little bit odd.
(ID #258807) Posted on 2008/08/07 02:44
I've noticed that too. The open-mouthed face in particular looks kind of funky; there might be something off about her nose. They'll probably fix it, and if they don't, there's still the regular close-mouthed face, which looks fine.

Love the figma's! Ryomou and Tsuruya are on my checklist. The nendo's are too cute! Will add Yoko nendo to my checklist XD

Nendroids are really cute, but I prefer figmas with their greater articulation. Downside is the figma joints are too noticeable, but it won't stop me buying them. Just posing them is the fun part. Figma Tsuruya looks strange, really tall, long neck. The vocaloids don't look too bad, but I had much higher expectations. Too shiny I think, but I'll get them anyway.

awww.. I want Shana-tan now!!~ X3 Figma is really good for playing and maybe they can make the joints look better in the future ^^ but somehow I still prefer the standard scale figures over figma

Saber lion is fantastic! But I have a bad feeling about that... too afraid it would be some bloody limited-stuff-coming-with-another-bloody-game-collector-edition :/ Hope I am wrong ^^;
(ID #258607) Posted on 2008/08/06 22:31
I like standard scale mostly, but the nendoroids are starting to catch my attention. Really cool or funny expressions on some of them ^^;

I really want the secret to Seto San to be an accompanying Maki but it'll probably be detachable legs to give her a mermaid form... Otherwise, nendoroid shana and lion saber look cool!
