Here’s the first Nendoroid from the game Trigger Heart Exelica . This one is limited and is ONLY sold with the limited edition of the enhanced version of the Dreamcast game , for the Playstation 2 . As a fan of the characters from this game , i just needed to buy it , even if i’m bored of the Nendoroids . Initially planned for a 2008 release , Exelica was pushed back to March 2009 and here she is , finally . People at Good Smile sure love to make us wait .

Now that the wait is over , was it worth waiting for the re release of a Dreamcast game with just new CGs , a big box with just a Nendo and a so high price ? I think it’s a no , even if the Nendoroid is good , i can’t understand why we have to paid such a crazy price for a 2007 game (sold 50 dollars two years ago and now available on the Xbox live marketplace for like 12 dollars !) . That said , i still paid , because it’s the only way to get the Nendoroid , marketing people sure knows how otaku’s like us feel …

Let’s get back on the review , i won’t say much , there’s no surprises , it’s a Nendo from Good Smile so you know what to expect . The paint job and the quality is on par with the other Nendoroids but it’s nice to see that Good Smile used EXACTLY the same colors and painting than the 1/8 scale Exelica so she looks the way she should be . It’s nice too to see that she comes with 3 faces , another pair of legs and an optional arm , Nendos lovers are gonna be pleased with that . Of course she comes too with the two “pods” weapons that the 1/8 version had .

So yes , if you love the game or the character and if you have the money , you can buy this one without thinking , you probably won’t be disapointed BUT i am a little . All is not perfect , as on mine two of the heads were impossible to take off , i had to use a pair of pliers and even with that it was very hard … And the legs don’t come out at all on mine , i don’t want to force too much but it’s the first time i had this problem on a Nendoroid … So i wasn’t able to take pics with the other legs on … Quite sad to see that on a high priced limited figure … I hope it’s only mine who had this problem …

Still it’s the ultimate Nendoroid , the awesome character design of Exelica associated to the cuteness of the Nendos series and we’ve got a winner . Don’t think lots of figures collectors are gonna be able to resist buying this one.

9.5/10 : An awesome looking Nendoroid , really cute with nice colors and painting . A must buy , if you’re ok to pay more that it should be …

Now for the pics :

For once i’m happy about the pics , they look the way they should . And i wanted to say sorry for the lack of updates , didn’t have much time lately . Next reviews are going to be Emi Kizaki from Kotobukiya and Nazuna full action from E2046 . Tomorrow i guess . Take care all

I don’t think this one needs a proper review . It’s the same than the red version that everyone knows but with black hair , cat ears and a tail . And don’t forget the melon pan and the smile face . Is she worth the high price to ger her or not ? I’m not sure of that . Is she worth it for a Shana fan boy ? Maybe . But i don’t think she’s better than the red hair version . So if you have to choose , the red Shana is the one to get .

It’s a Nendoroid from Good Smile so the quality is here . The painting is like always nicely done and it’s cute too . Just don’t expect too much if you already have the other version . Overall it’s still a nice buy .

9/10 for Shana fanboys .

8/10 if you already have the red Shana .

And don’t forget to check meronpan’s funny review of these two Nendoroids ^^

This Shana Nendoroid do not disappoint . The expressions on her face are just awesome and make her the best Shana available in the market . Yes even the 1/8 and 1/6 , who are all missing something , more “life” … Yet the Nendo version is so much great , she IS Shana , there is no doubt here and it’s like we can hear her “urusai! urusai! urusai!” trademark phrase . Poor Yuji , looks like he’s in trouble again ^^

The Nendo Shana is in low stock at HLJ so go buy her now , you’ll be happy you did .

Good Smile did , like always , a fine job here , the painting is perfect and there is no dot or bad scratch anywhere .

Nendo Shana is the best Nendoroid available . My opinion only .

9/10

Here’s the limited set of Puchi Nendoroids from GoodSmile . And again it’s from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu . People loves that show , and GoodSmile knows it . This set of mini Nendos is so cute that it’s nearly impossible to resist .

I think this is the best set from all the Nendoroids collection , even with the normal ones included . The painting on them is , like always with GoodSmile , perfectly done and they can be separated from the group easily , without any problem to be put in any order you want them .

So yes , if you are a Haruhi fan or a nendos fan or a cute figures fan , you can’t possibly want to miss these ones , so go check Ebay soon before it’s too late . The set is limited to 5000 and is still available as for now . The choice is yours to make , i made mine , i so needed them , too cute
