Some crazy Tohou bullet action below. I used to be good at Axelay but this is something else...

They're adorable! ^^
But aren't they limited to Nico Nico Chokuhan, Animate, Gamers and Toranoana online shops?

  All the Touhou Project games are for Windows PC's (XP, Vista, 7). That aside, I love the series and will get these Nendoroid Puchis.

Danny, aren't these exclusives? I thought Mikatan said that on her blog. :C If they aren't it's not good to advertise them as exclusives, cause I know a lot of people that are really pissed about it already...

What's the difference between Nendoroid Puchi and normal Nendoroid? Also, which one are your twin Kyoukas? Do they cost the same? Or are one set generally more expensive?

Axelay was my first video game that wasn't a Nintendo title. A bunch of my friends stayed over and we spent three days trying to figure out every aspect of that game. For a game of such short length, it really gave us the impression of a full epic drama. The music and the gorgeous 16bit background and the insanely giagantic bosses and the final frantic assault and escape made sure of that. I later got the OST, too.

Axelay was not a big seller; so, we few tens of thousands who have played it share a secret enjoyment.

:p

  Puchi / Petit ones are smaller and less poseable.
  
  And yeah these were announced as exlusives for NicoNico, Animate, Anibro Gamers and Toranoana. Same group of shops as other Touhou Nendos. They are up for preorder there since 11.03. Haven't seen them on other online shops yet.

  Also, why do you write, "Arms installation is complete. Good Luck?" I assume you played the Japanese version. Was the voice in this version also in English? :D

Really cute. I hope they aren't terribly hard to get a hold of.

Has Good Smile gotten permission to sell Touhou nendoroids/figmas overseas? I had always thought that for some reason they had to sell only in Japan.

Also, I do hope that Hobby Search Japan really does start selling Touhou stuff.....

Hehe, mine arrived at the door yesterday, but I'm confused on what the Donation Box says. I assume its Donations, Donate Please, but I can't find anything out.
