Shopping Guide
Nendoroid is a figure series of characters from popular anime and games that are reproduced in a cute, chibi form. Using high quality techniques and making full use of characters’ distinctive traits, these figures have a charming appeal unique to the Nendoroid series. So far, Hatsune Miku and characters from such series as K-On! and The Idolm@ster have been made into Nendoroids. Now joining this series are two well-known voice actresses and singers: Nana Mizuki and Yukari Tamura.
“Nendoroid Nana Mizuka” is, as the name suggests, modeled after the voice actress and singer, Nana Mizuki. With her exclusive pedestal, this figure stands 100 mm in height. Her well-known, lovely appearance from concerts and events has been reproduced in the chibi style characteristic of Nendoroid figures. Sculptor Hiroyuki Tsumezuka is in charge of this figure’s design. This rare gem long-awaited by fans comes with an abundance of facial expressions and plenty of movability. The price of this Nendoroid is 4,900 yen (tax included). It will be released on July 7 during the start of Mizuki’s tour “Nana Mizuki Live Circus 2013” at Ehimeken Budoukan. As expected from the quality and the fact that it is a limited item, it seems to be gathering quite the popularity.
Similarly, “Nendoroid Yukari Tamura” will also go on sale at an event of hers. The figure will be sold at the two-day concert “Yukari Tamura Love Live 2013 - Cute’n Cute’n Heart,” which will be held at the Saitama Super Arena from June 22-23. This figure will also cost 4,900 yen (tax included) and have a total height of 100 mm. The sculptor of this figure is Shichibee. This cute figure captures the excitement of Tamura’s live performances.
Even more voice actresses and musical artists are planned to be added to the Nendoroid series, which has included many popular characters to date. Because both of these artists are highly popular, there is no doubt that these figures will be quite popular as well. Fans of voice actresses and musical artists will no doubt be curious as to how this series of figures will expand from here on.
