Figma and Nendoroid

So many cute Nendoroids, I LOVE the Idolm@ster ones! Also everytime I see that Seto figma it makes me want to buy her even more!!! XD

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.

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;

So....much.... CUTENESS!! :overload:

Cute overload!!

That Nendoroid Saber Lion is a must get!!! and Yoko also...errr everything!! XD

If only amazon would ship Fate/Unlimited Codes to anywere other than Japan. I would actually be getting a Saber Lily.

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.

one word: Nyoroooooooooooo~!

why the ecchi sticker over the faces...

don't you have some other Laughing Man type patches?

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 !

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 would be uber jealous if Danny SUDDENLY ACQUIRES that Figma Yuki rockstar/wizard version

I also thought the unnamed Figma was Cardcaptor Sakura =)

FIGMA!!!!
They are the world's best action figures. ^^
I'm kind of bias here because I just love them sooooooooooooooo much. :3

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?

Nendoroid Zetsobou senssei and yoko!! can't wait. Figma Tsuruya, Miku Hatsune, and Saber Lily!! Aaaaiiieeee...Those Nenoroid Puchi Haruhi set.. must get. But I'm looking forward to what else figma has to offer. :D Nendoroids for me, well, there some anime that are better of left non-nendoroid.

May wait for the release dates for Saber Lion, Yoko and Kyoka Nendoroid release dates! >.< all of them, oh so cute!

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 ^^;

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!

must resist... my wallet...

Why Why no pic of Raspberyl
she is standing next to Saber Lion

I pefer nendoroid, they're too much moe than figmas; and I don`t care 4 the articulation, or change their position as well. Of course, an 1/8 scale figure NEVER is over.

zOMG!

Those Idolm@ster nendoroids are so cute~!!! <3 <3 <3

I also want that Yoko Nendoroid <3 <3 <3

I prefer Figma, Nendoroid and Standard scale figures as long as my budget and wallet permits me to buy them XDD

Lately I adquired some Nendoroids, are cute and easy to display in any place, but I like more standar figures for 18 or similar. And yet have some "allergy" to articled figures amd juntions on arms and legs, but the Lucky Star Figmas are changing my mind slowly...

I WANT THAT NOZOMU...DESPERATELY!

seems like alot of people needs the Saber Lion Nendoroid!

ME TOO! HEHE

JUST CAN'T WAIT! :D

Must get Yoko & Shana nendoroid!

OMG OMG OMG Saber Lily <3

All these nendroids...I want it soo much and suddenly Yoko nendroid popped out!!!.....I really want to see Minami-ke nendroids because their triangular shaped mouth it too cute!!!

I prefer standart scale figures over Figmas/nendrooids any time.I havent bought any Nendrooids until now but ive gotta admit that Yoko and Ishitoki Sensei are very tempting

i like shunya's polka ^^

nendoroids FTW!!!

wow~ so cute~ I want them all! XD
But personally after reading this post, I'm now thinking if its better to collect nendoroids than standard scaled ones. They're cute and many, plus they're cheaper than standard scale.

I think I want that Saber Lion Nendroid too >.> . Too cute not to get it ^^

I love Figma because their a bit smaller and so pose-able. Definitely Tsukasa, Kagami and Konata are on my list! Never was a big fan of Miyuki, I might now be hated for saying that lol.

Want Yoko Nendoroid NOW. Any idea when that will be released?

Loving the Saber Lion, me thinks I'll have to order it(if it's wide release and not limited). Like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei too.. but don't know about getting it. Have Shana and Sakura Nankyoku on order.

I saw Kodomo no Jikan(along with 2 others) over at GA Graphic and I want so bad. Waiting to see the sculpts.
<a href="http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/010769/60.html&usg=ALkJrhjlnDF9dwr8_CYGuHwZcf-rxTAmIg">GA Page</a>

I already knew about (and wanted) Zetsubou Sensei, but I definitely need Yoko! I'd probably buy the other Gurren Lagann characters as Nendos, but I think that we need a Lagann Nendo for sure (just like how there were Tachikoma Nendos).

Sometimes, I think I need to stop reading this blog. GSC is taking all my money T_T

No one answered yet the who's that figma yet? weird :P
It's Yagami Hayate from Nanoha.
I wants the Shana nendoroid and Miku figma most I think.

I'm not really into nendos. figma is okay since you can play with em but I prefer static figures. figmas are more prone to damage if you play with them too much ^^.
WANT figma Hayate!!! Need to get figma Saber Lily and Hatsune Miku too.. Still havnt gotten my figma Fate yet since I did't PO it the last time around. Also interested in the twin sisters from Lucky Star.
Man...., I have a long wishlist and its not even including static figures yet orz.

I can choose between Figmas and Nendoroids... Both are awesome!

So many cute nendos and cool figmas coming out... So sad, I won't be getting any...

*hack cough* urg... there should be a limit on the amount of Nendo in any post... too... cute... XP

with the increasing popularity of Figma and Nendoroid, soon i foresee most collector will have 3 different version of a same anime character, a figma, a nendoroid and a standard scale figure.

me still much prefer standard scale figures though.

I shall get figma Miku if the announcement comes out.. She is a MUST get.. ^^

y cant they just sell the saber lily separately T_T... i because i probably wont get it i cant figure out which Saber i wanna buy... :( anyone know any good standard scale ones?

FIGMA FTW! I seriously love those things. :D I actually don't have any scaled figures due to my Figma fascination. XD

It's really nice to finally have some decent pictures of the VOCALOID figmas...ooo! And Zetsubou-Sensei! I can't wait for those.

there is no way my desk will be without the Shana and Yoko Nendoroids when they're released
NO WAY! MUST HAVE THEM NOOOOOOOOOW!!!!

I prefer the figmas over everything else, nendoroids are good and I still like normal figures, but figma are what really excite me.

wow. how amusing I just got the first release haruhi nendoroid after too much searching...I'm amazed at the Zetsubou Sensei nendoroid! I wish they come up with a scale one of him (u know to display him suspended by his neck.........)

I'm looking forward to the vocaloid series though :D

WHY?!! I foresee an empty bank for me. Amen. Haruhi, pls bless me. Y_Y

anw: for the poll, I choose all 3...

So many great figma's coming out. Need more money...

Wow nice coverage Danny,love the Vocaloids and I can't get enough of that Shana Nend^^
Love the Rin and Len Nends too,definitely at the top of my list^^ Some of the Figmas look nice too,wish Tsuruya-san looked better though:/ but then again these are just good proto types right?Ether way I'm still getting her>:)

As for the pole,I rather kill my wallet by buying regular figures,I look at them as art work and a "figure",some of them are beautifully made with awesome poses and/or with elaborate clothing.Also the quality is way better,you really appreciate the sculptors and manufacturers hard work:)But second will have to be Nendoroids,I mean,you can't resist them,their just too cute^^
Figmas are ok,I guess,good for when your bored or waiting for a download to finish.It's good that you can take them out with you and play with them at a restaurant or something,but you could do the same with Nends^^
I like all them but preferably Figures^^ Nends are good to buy too,if you got most of the figures you want or if you just happen to spot them and have some cash with you;) As for Figmas,they're a last resort,only if bought all the figures you want,and whatever cash you have left use it for them:)

OMG! I am so getting that saber lion nendoroid. that is soooooooooo cuuuuuttteee! ^^

Would love to have the Yoko nendoroid too but i'll see first if I have the budget. Most likely I won't have any. heheheh

Figmas are the articulated figures I always dreamed of. I love them and need them all !

OMG!!! Makoto-chan!!!! I want to buy one, but I only want Makoto chan, and they're in those little boxes so like gatchapon, you nevar know what you're gonna get T_T, and it's always more expensive online.... I'm gonna ask my gatchapon clerk if I can take a peek inside the boxes, sometime, too bad I need to go up to Canada to see him.

I love Figma. I've got Haruhi, and the other 2 SOS girls are on the way to me as we speak. I've got a Nendoroid, but the lack of flexibility and balance issues put me off, as cute as a lot of these are. The Idolmaster ones are VERY cute! But I do prefer Figma, by far. They're so free and easy to pose!

OMG Yoko Nendoroid! I WANT I WANT I WANT!!

I not fan of Nendoroids but Fate an Yoko are cute!, I want figmas Hayate Yagami and Saber Lily T_T

I like figma, but they need to bring up the size just a bit. The original Saber was a joke! I would like a refund.

I think I like Figma the best- they're inexpensive, and posing them is a lot of fun. I'm looking forwards to the Seto figma and the others...

The Lion Saber Nendoroid is too cute X3 Definitely want that + Nendo Nozomu + Yoko. As for preferred figures, love all sorts but if I had to choose, Nendos because they're so darn cute XD

thanks for sharing all the goodies!!!! Saber Lion Nendoroid killed me LOL how CUTE IS THAT!

I like Saber nendoroid... (very commic)...
and MUST HAVE Saber Figma....(including Lucky Star figmas... LOL)

Gaah, now I'm dead from all the cuteness. I want them al yesterday nao!

Saber Lily... I want her....

I'm starting to like all three, though I still prefer standard figures by far.

Nendoroid would come second since I don't like action figures much, but I like my Figma Yuki a lot.

From the pics, I really want: nendo Shana, lion Saber, Kyouka (even though I was not very impressed with the anime), figma Kona-chan, and the witch costume figma Yuki. Not in pics, but I also want nendo Yuki with witch costume and Hatsune Miku.

GoodSmile makes my wallet feels oh so lighter. :P

That Zetsubô Sensei nendoroid has left me in dispair! >__<

nendoroids are simply adorable, like you said Danny on the other occasion when you look at them you want them to be edible and eat them, they are that sweet. On the other hand the whole Figma idea doesn't float my boat at all, I like to look at figures not play with them, and that is mostly why I don't have any figure at all. I could watch them on the pictures without the need of dusting them and fear of broking them.

My wallet... it cries. D: I'm going to have to get what I can when I can, even though I wan't them all.

Looking forward to the Haruhi puchi nendroids :D Ordered some off of play-asia. Will have to pre-order that Penguin nendroid now that I've started watching Pen Musu. So kawaiiiiii :O And the Yoko is also totemo kawaii :D So much do want in all of those figures. Good Smile always deliver. The kawaii apocolypse is upon us!!!!!!!!! D:

me want both! my collection right now focuses on nendoroids and figmas...and boy do i want all of the nendos and figmas featured now :)

Cuteness of those nendoroids is out of this world @_@

Definitely eying on the Itoshiki-sensei and Yoko Nendoroid. Did you happen to see the Triggerheart Exelica Nendoroid? That one ranks really high on my "do want" list 8D

Do want the Lucky Star girls figmas and Kyouka-sama Nendroid... nao!

Omg....So cuteeeeee all the figures!
Especially Hatsune Miku Figma!

so cute. there goes the monthly budget. ^^;

So cute! Lion Saber, Saber Lily, and Yoko. Ah. Looks like I'll need to cut back on food expenses for a bit and rebudget.

The Lion Saber is so cute, I want, when will it be available? Or is it already?

Damn Goodsmile for releasing so many awesome figures!

me like product, me give money xD

I actually prefer Nendoroids rather than FIGMA, but since there's a standard scale figure options. i choose that lol

p.s: The FIGMA u forget = Yagami Hayate from Nanoha series..

I shall make kagamin my first figma ^^

I'll definitely be getting the Figma Hayate over the 5 times more expensive Alter Completed Model version as I'm not really a fan of her. Am I going to get the rest of the SOS Dan? I have no idea. Nendroids are really cute, though not really my kind of thing as I prefer them to be show accurate. They are kinda costly as well.

Zetsubou Sensei Nenoid is funny, hopefully they will make more from the class...did they have a head with a noose around it?

Figma FTW ^^

it's the only way to get your fav characters into one big messy battle royale where decapitations abound without having to mutilate your figures lol

and combined with some revoltech parts...you can create mecha-nized version of your fav chara....

anyway, I'll be getting all the figmas featured here... I already got figma Suzaku at an ok price making all 3 limited figma are in my possession...now waiting for saber lily...

though I'm still thinking about the baseball mascots...I know baseball is popular there but seriously....why baseball mascots -_-

and isn't there supposed to be a Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Figma??

Anyone else besides me stoked about the Ryoumo figma?
I'm betting Hakufu is next for sure. Of course, they made the Kanu one first XD

I need both of them :D

*drool the article up and down* Figmaaa~~~ *mindless zombie mode* Preeeee-orrrddeeerrrrr~~~ *blink* Wow, more stuff to look out for pre-orders. :)
Still no Yoko Figma... booboo... but that nendroid of Yoko... NEED... oh my now i will fall in the deepths of nendroids as well. *sigh*

I love DOARA QQ!!!!

awesome stuff as usual danny, nendroid is my partner, tedfox's weakness wait till he sees this hurhur
that said, some of those nedroids look real fat totally uncute bleh

Tsuruya's neck concerns me :(
Otherwise it's eyes on Nendoroid's and Figma's T_T
So much want!

wow, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei cool!
both Nendoroid and Figma also very nice, this time too many Nendoroid and Figma I want, need to buy them home.

definitely a fan of figmas been getting figma's lately and now i feel that my money has wings. if the whole nanoha squad comes out i'm gonna be so broke ^^

Want the Saber Lily and Konata! :3

Y-Y-YOKO NENDOROID? Yep, that's definitely on my "To Buy" list. I think I might wait, you know, since there might be a Kamina Nendoroid (I REALLY want to see Lord Genome Nendoroid-ized). I'm ordering my Konata Figma Saturday and I plan on getting either Tsukasa or Kagami with it. In terms of what I prefer, it depends on the overall figurine. I prefer Figma, but only if they have clothes on where the joints would be (Skin makes the joints look ugly, in turn making them look muscley), and for Nendoroids, well that just depends if I like the character or not. Standard Scale is something I only have 1 of (The Natalia figurine you reviewed many moons ago), the only thing about them is that it's VERY hot in my house, and almost all the scales I like have big flowy hair. Once I get a better collection, I'll most likely leave them at my uncle's in the summer.

It's kind of scary but I have become a fan for Nendoroid. I kind of want to trade my figures for the Nendoroid versions. XD

I don't like figmas...joints scare me. >_> But those nendroids were really cute, especially that Shana-tan one! ^_^

"Urushai urushai urushai!"

Yoko nendoroid looks great, gotta have. Those sport mascot figmas are pretty creepy.

Wow... Moe overload got have I... I've seen so many pictures of so many great figures! This was the event to be at! Thanks for taking the pictures for us Danny.

It would be easier for me to make a list of the figures I don't want. ^o^ I have always wanted to buy one of those Nendoroid sets. However, I'm afraid I will end up with several of the same Nendoroid... Great, I want "lucky"! I'm a Tigers fan.

When it comes to figures, it makes no difference to me. I enjoy them all. Nendoroid, Figma and scale figures, it makes no difference to me. I usually refer to them as figures. Only something like "Holy Bell" do I call a statue.

The Hatsune Miku is really cute.

want Haruhi-Nagato-Mikuru nendo in concert dress, then aiming to get Len-Ren-Miku nendo...
great! I already form my own band! LOL!

Shanna chan is sssoooooo adorable.....i'm still *figthing* with my inner self whether i want to get her or not...i just got my Merissa Seraphy nendoroid and i love her to pieces! she's just so cute! And hopefully this month the Moetan nendoroid will be release....
Hai...so many nendoroids so little money to buy...
so T_T

Oh yes, i sooo getting the Sakura Nankyoku nendoroid!
Her cute face is killing me~~~

Hmmm... Saber Lily doesn't look as good as I thought she would. Preorder canceled.
Those Idol Master puchi look cute. Too bad they're so freakin' small.

I find Nendroids cute, but I'm not really into them. For that price, by adding 1000 yen, I'll be able to get a completed figure or 2 Figmas. Only if a Nendroid is super awesome will I spring for one.

I mainly use Figmas as substitutes for regular figures. I did not manage to get the Max Factory Haruhi Girls and I am really satisfied with their Figma counterparts. The joints don't bother me at all and as figures, they are works of art. Discrimination against action figures is NOT ALLOWED! :)

Another example of a possible substitute is for Hatsune Miku. I like her character, but not so much as to pay US 60 - 70 for a completed version of her. The Figma version will be just fine. :)

Yes, definitely Figmas. I have my first Figma on order. Hopefully I won't be disappointed which I doubt.

Where's the option for both Figma and Nendoroid? I like them both, although the number of Figma figures that I have outnumber the Nendoroid right now. With Shana, Yoko, and Sakura coming out, the numbers should get even.

cuteness to the next, head explooded

I prefer figmas over nendoroids, but standard scale over figmas... xD I'd really like that Kagami Figma *_* soon be my birthday ^^ maybe...

I want the Kyouka nendoroid plz

Tsuruya-san Figma & Hatsune Miku Figma All the way :)

that girl is SUN from Seto no hanayome

Nendoroid rin & len, Zetsubou Sensei and also shana.. i wish GSC would release a nendoroid kaito.. he's so cute.. =X

Thanks for the info Danny, now I'll really have to start saving up.

I want the Figmas =)

damn .. Goodsmile .... they make such cute figures!!!! I 'wanna buy them all' but you know that can't be done with my current income xD

Goodsmile all the way! (and their affiliates)

I now prefer Figma than normal scales now because of the accessories and ever changing action poses. But I'll get the one I know of and the figma that has some covering on their arm joints. The Seto figma's arm joint kinda stands out too much.

What's great about them is that softcore figurine fans can get good items for a low price (20-30 dollars per item, against 80-150 for a big figurine). The only thing I complain about the big nendoroids are the plastic stands; in some dolls they can't bear the weight or don't hold it right, so I got my fair share of falling figurines. Half my nendoroids are in their box because the stand broke.

I plan to stick with the petit ones, they are much more stable and won't hurt me much if they break.

More Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei Nendoroids = WANT.
Full-size Itsuki Nendoroid = WANT WANT.
Nozomu Itoshiki Figma = WANT WANT WANT.
Bigger Saber Lily figure = WANT. Above all else.

I want the Suzumiya and Vocaloid's! The Idolm@ster's are next!

..I think I wanted to cry when I saw the figmas that weren't even on the main JP site

No wonder I can never find Haruhi PS2 figma.

Must get Suzaku ASAP then.

Thanks for this information!!

xD the neuro and yako nendoroids look awesome cant wait to buys them with munneys ^.^

when is the nendoroid from Sayonara Zetsubo sensei gonna be released???

I prefer scale figures coz I don't want to see the joints. Hmm ... but I have one Figma though, my Figma Saber. I prefer her in Figma because she can do all the action poses. :) In her form, the joints are ok since she's armored and everything. I don't have nendoroids yet but I may get the Haruhi set like in this post. Very cute! :)

awwww so cute

I just bought myself a Figma Saber, but I really wanna get a Nendroid Lion Saber for my collection. I hope I can get a copy. I like Nendroids because they are "kawaii" and they don't take up much space.

d@@b

if only figma saber lily didnt cost an arm and a leg

I saw a copy of Figma Saber Lily bundle with a JPN PS2 game. It cost about S$120, I think. I saw it about a month ago. Should I get it?

d@@b

I'm getting Rin and Len, My Miku figma is so happy! Also, Her waist keeps poping off,(Miku) my sister popped it off when we first got her, and now its sooooo loose. I finally had her in a cute pose, and then the waist popped off! Ugh! Anyone else have such problems? I play with my figures. That's why it pisses me off so much! I have figma, play arts, and revoltech...I think revoltech is better for "playing." And PLAY arts. They are so sturdy.
