looks like you have more than one frog Mikuru. ^^
lol on Kerokero Haruhi, a bit scary though. ^^

oh btw count me among the converted. ^^ use to think they be strange as well. not until I got the first Puchi Haruhi set that I started to like looking at these SD figures.

I used to think they were kinda... too uniform (like they all looked too much alike).

Nendoroids are one of the reasons I started my figurine collection. Started with Death Note, and since Haruhi nends looked cute and were affordable bought them too. Very cute and I probably will buy more, even when I'm not into some characters.

One thing I did not like from the first nendoroids was the stand. It didn't quite fit for my Light, Misa and Haruhi nends, they were constantly falling and the paint-job got ruined in a couple of them. I stored them in the hopes someday I could make my own stand or purchase some new ones, whatever comes first.
I also have to admit they are getting smaller. Melissa is my smallest nendoroid, yet price is the same as the old ones. It does go with the more detail they have now, but I can't help but hesitate sometimes, what with PVC being just a bit pricier but much bigger.

I only have two puchi-Nendos, right now (they came with Doki Doki Majo Shinpan Duo box set)...will have to get some full-size ones in the future...^^

I think they are cute and cool. But I personally am not a collector of nendroids. They are a little pricy and cost roughly the same as a Figma. Figures that represent the character as they are are prefered by me. (^.^)

Nendoroids are so cute! I love them in the first sign. =D
But I think they're a bit overpriced especially after figma came out.

I don't really like Nendo proportions, their heads are a bit *too* big. That said, I got Melissa too and don't regret it one bit. She's one of the cutest things in my collection!
I'll probably get Lion Saber too <3

I like them. It's another take on the character that's done in a fun way. It's also a figure that usually costs a bit less and I don't feel like has to stay in the display case.

this comment has nothing to do with the post, i hope danny reads this, hey danny its been long time since you made a post about gundam, when i found your website was full of things of gundam and other type of robots, and there where of course figures, that was almost 3 years ago more or less, it would be cool if you made more post about gundam, i know its your website and all and you can do whatever you want but it would be really cool to have that part of the site back, i never really made an account but i been checking almost dialy your website xD its really good, and it would be great if you brought back that part of dannychoo.com
kind regards an otaku from tatooine :P

Thanks for your comment dear loyal reader ;-)
Personally I'm also into gunpla collections, so I can feel your request.
As Danny had started his own company & it had really kicked off to the promising bright future.
Danny have little time to cover on his Gunpla tutorial, because each plastic model kit need to invest a lot of time (than figures & others topics) & skillful work (paint job etc...) in order to present the detailed result of the final model display.
Danny had mentioned he'll try his best to bring more coverage on Gunpla whenever is posible, in the meantime, please kindly enjoy the flow of this wonderful community ^_^

It's nice to see that you're concerned about that. But the problem is Danny is busy lately, owning his own company and being affiliated with Good Smile Company. And I guess these figure reviews are also part of his job being with GSC so these posts are considered part-work. So please bear with it for a while and just enjoy some gundam related posts in the Member News Section. ^^

Nendoroid Fever!
Ahh sadly I am also affected. Currently only have about 9 of them in my collection (standard Nendo), with one of them is a Wonfes Edition (ahh Wonfes stuff IS SO EXEPENSIVE to obtain).
My pre-orders as well consist of most nendoroids, but had to skip some of them due to finance constraints.
My dream is to collect all nendoroids as per listed in nendoroid.jp , but it will be an impossible one.
I do believe Danny probably have all of them in his collection :p

I love them: cute and sweet but their joints are sometimes.. loose (lack of better words) as depicted in image 22337. Not a big problem tho, if I don't move them around too much.
Another thing is some of them are not really stable even with the stand. For example the Saber Konata. (Not sure if its my lousy skills, huge head or wut)
Graphic Arts Student
I really like nendoroids, they're cool.
I just wish I could afford more of them.
http://animaticfigmation.com/
I don't own one yet, my first one will get here in December, followed by another in January and another in February, so I can't personally speak on what I think about them just yet, but from seeing them in pictures I'm eager to give them a chance, I think they look cute.
???Confused???
I want to start getting them when I have the chance and mix and match them...

I wonder if anyone remembers the "superdeformed" characters from way back? Nendoroids are just an updated version, using the "head same height as body" proportion.

SD is win. That said, the full size Nendoroids are pretty big, and the head would seriously hurt someone if you threw at someone :P. Their balance is also extremely off. I think the Nendoroid puchis are perfect, size wise.

Nendoroids are cool and cute:) And nice cosplay:P

I've been buying a few nendoroids, but not as much as others. I wasn't going to get the Ryoko Asakura one, but Danny showed that there were 3 reasons to buy it: Extra Parts for Yuki, Haruhi & Mikuru Nendos!! ARRRGGGHHHH!!! I have to spend money again >_<

Some look weird, some look good. It really depends just like any other figure really.

Nendoroids are my life ^^. Well and truly converted by you Danny. And like you my fave is the puchi frog-suit Mikuru, though anything Mikuru is just so cute!! Even my wife thinks I need to buy the next series of Haruhi puchi's :)
a guy who cares (sort of...)
I'm not really into collecting figures to begin with (although I do like to watch them on the pictures) and I think that keeping something that you have to dust every couple of days, be careful not to wipe off the paint or even worse brake into pieces is too bothersome. But if I ever want to buy any figure it would be definitely one of the Puchi Nendoroids.
IT Crowd
dusting them is not a chore like it sounds. It's very satisfying and part of the fun of owning them. Never lost any paint on any of my figures either.

My very first figure (well, I did have some when I was younger but I don't count those... mostly because they were simply toys to me and I have no idea where they are >.> ) was the Miku Nendroid ^_^ I have 3 right now (Miku, Haruhi and Tsuruya) and waiting for my Shana ^o^

I don't particularly mind the designs of nendoroids, but I am usually put off by the size of them. I would be more interested if they were a bit smaller.
Having said that, I do have the exelica nendo on preorder.

This is the first I've heard someone wanting them smaller. For the price they are, they seem hefty enough. And of course, I know some who wish they were bigger ^^

Nendroid are so cute to be ignored! Hatsune Miku is my fave for the Chibi!

Only problem I have with nendoroids is that after import and shipping fees, they cost as much as a regular figure. I couldn't really see nendoroids photographing well, as in. It seems like it'd be a lot of hassle to set up a whole shoot just for them. Could just be me, I don't have any to play around with (price factor).
What do you think, Danny? Are they fun to take pictures of?
Melissa is the cutest nendoroid imo, it's too bad that her pumpkin always has cracks in it. I bought 10 from the same shops/random shops and all had cracks. and God forbid you drop her, she will break and explode into a million pieces.
C. Engineering Student
http://otaku.baywords.com
Why in the world would you buy 10? No wonder I can't find her anywhere.

I don't even get the whole chibi thing in 2D drawings, much less in 3D figure form. The only Nendoroid I have even the slightest possibility of wanting is that exclusive Louise, and even then I'm not interested enough to go searching for her.

Grew up with the SD Gundam series, so seeing super-deformed anime characters was not a big deal. Really want a nendoroid, but can't justify the price with the lack of articulation (so I buy Figmas instead). The Puchis may change my mind though.

I got a few nendoroids but I still prefer the regular scaled figures. For a diminutive PVC item which can't stay upright without its stand, I find the price tag for nendoroids a little discouraging. I still love my Hatsune Miku though!!! Kawaii!!!

Wasn't a fan of the Nendroid line at first but after picking up my first 2 I must say they are beyond adorable. I love putting them ontop of stacks of books, cds, etc. Not as fun to play with as my Figmas but x10 the cute factor.

Hi Danny, I read that even if buy a complete box of Haruhi Nendoroid Puchi 3rd set, it doesn't guarantee that it will have a complete collection. Random. Is this true?
Thanks in advance.

Awesome! I just got into nendroids just recently, since i wanst really into pvc figs i didnt pay much attention to them :). sadly i wish i had sooner, now its kinda difficult to find the older ones here in Malaysia, i wish i could find them especially the lucky star nends! These Nendoroids are Cute as Heaven!

Lets start from the fact that I never thought of them as "strange". From the very first apperence of the Nendoroids I thought "Waaaaai!!! Kawaii, a must for me desu!". I was at a convention lately and I luckly got one of the 2 avalible sets there (Haruhi, Mikuru and Yuki in bunny girl outfits). I'm very happy with this purchase ^^

I'm not a huge fan of nendos or anything, but I don't think of them as wierd as I used to. I guess the come across as chibi figurines, and I'm definitely not a fan of chibi/SD stuff.
So, mostly undecided here for now, I'll probably end up giving in, tho.
