Meet four bishie nendoroid figures planned for release this April 2011!
Most bishie figure collectors would probably know about this a while back after Goodsmile Company surprisingly announced one boy nendoroid after the other. Some were not even revealed during fairs and events before the announcements. It is definitely exciting news because most of the time, figure releases are like a ratio of 1 boy to 9999 girls (lol~ exaggeration but you get the general idea).
Anyway, here’s more information about the Nendoroid boys. Still available for preorder in most hobby stores :) Go pick your fav!
First up is probably the most popular “trap” character (Yes, he is a boy) in 2010, Kinoshita Hideyoshi 木下秀吉 from comedy Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu バカとテストと召喚獣.
Title: Nendoroid Kinoshita Hideyoshi (ねんどろいど きのしたひでよし 木下秀吉)
Price: 3,500 Yen (including tax)
Release Date: 2011/04
Specs: Painted ABS&PVC posable non-scale figure with stand included, approximately 100mm in height. His summon is also included along with a shouting expression and extra hand parts that allow him to put out his hand as if he was summoning it. He also comes with replaceable legs which let him sit on his knees, along with a cushion for him to sit on, and one of the mandarin boxes that the class used for desks in Class F!
Face and expressions are awesomely cute :D GET.
Next up, is another surprise announcement. Kyon キョン from The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi 涼宮ハルヒの消失 Now, we need to have Koizumi Itsuki 古泉 一樹 to complete the collection. Seriously.
Title: Nendoroid Kyon: Disappearance Ver. (ねんどろいど きょん しょうしつばーじょん キョン)
Price: 3,000 Yen (including tax)
Release Date: 2011/04
Specs: Painted ABS&PVC posable non-scale figure with stand included, approximately 100mm in height. He comes with two different expressions – his standard smiling face, as well as a resigned face. He also comes with various extras from the movie, such as a gun, bookmark and his scarf.
GET! I’m glad they didn’t go with their nendoroid petit versions of him cos the proportion of his nendoroid petit face was weird.
Finally, the Bakuman バクマン。boys. Never saw these two coming either.
Title: Nendoroid Mashiro Moritaka (ねんどろいど ましろもりたか 真城最高)
Price: 3,800 Yen (including tax)
Release Date: 2011/04
Specs: Painted ABS&PVC posable non-scale figure with stand included, approximately 100mm in height. Mashiro comes with a total of three expressions, his desk for drawing manga, a pen and manga manuscripts.
I watched a few episodes of the series. Bakuman バクマン。 is about two students attempting to become professional manga artists. Pretty good! Haven’t found the time for more yet. Very nice package with accessories. GET!
Title: Nendoroid Takagi Akito (ねんどろいど たかぎあきと 高木秋人)
Price: 3,500 Yen (including tax)
Release Date: 2011/04
Specs: Painted ABS&PVC posable non-scale figure with stand included, approximately 100mm in height. His trademark earphones and glasses have both been shrunk down to Nendoroid size, plus he comes with three expressions to enjoy, a portfolio case. his idea notes, manga manuscripts and even his cellphone.
Megane-character. GET! :D He is one of the few figures wearing glasses. How can you miss it? PLUS he has the fogged glasses that gives him that hentai–megane face as well. The only other male megane nendoroid is Zetsubou-sensei
When we look at the planned release dates… all of them fall in the month of April! Add that to other miscellaneous goods such as the Kuroshitsuji Plushies, BL games, miscellaneous goods and BLCDs coming in April… There are also a couple of bishie PVC/statues due in April that I’ve not covered here too…

I really have to get Maritaka, now that i see the high prices that nendoroids are going for once they sale out. The same might go for Araragi figma. (The other figmas there making of the main characters look really nice, especially Mayoi. )
I regret never getting Zetsubou sensei and a few other nendos/figmas now. :'(
(was Kaito the only nendoroid that was ever reprinted?)
I absolutely love the drawing desk Maritaka comes with. It’d look so adorable, on my own drawing desk. Maybe it’d be good for motivation too.;;;
@sigma: Sweetie… I ordered them too *_* Come April I’ll be super broke! (I’m already broke now tho lol~) And yep yep Maritaka will look great on your desk XD
Generally, nendoroids are a lot more expensive than figma after they go out-of-print :-\ so if you really like the characters, but have only money for either Nendoroid/figma, try to get the Nendoroid first.
Goodsmile doesn’t reissue the boys much, if ever :( Unless they are incredibly popular… and even then, they don’t get reissues as often as the girls.
I’m excited that they finally are coming out with male figures ;_; The only nendoroids I bought for myself are Kaito and Sebastian… because frankly, I dislike girls =/ (Except the Touhou ones, but they are too expensive for me sadly ._.) I’d love to get Hideyoshi, but I bought his figure by Alter with the sexy legs. I hope you do a post on him ;3

Sexiest male figure ever <3 I hope to finally see some more male figures especially from the high quality companies like GSC, Alter and Max Factory (figmas mainly).
@Teiyo: Kaito and Sebastian a good buys! Worth it :D The Touhou ones are pretty but extra expensive because they’re a doujin group and other companies have to pay more for the license to make their figures. I popped by your blog! You sure love the Touhou girls :D I have 2 Touhou figmas, Reimu and Marissa. Their nendoroids are cute but costly so I decided not to collect them.
Yep, I agree that’s a sexy Hideyoshi figure! I find PVC statues really expensive, so I try not to spend on them if I can help it. He is sold out already tho… Are you going to post his review on your blog?
i would get the mashiro moritaka just for the nendoroid desk….and the mini manga volumes.
@iced_wine: Definitely one of the better accessories to get bundled with a nendoroid. Love Phat company’s works ^^
I’m getting the Bakuman pair for sure. At first I just ordered Moritaka though I like Akito more.. in the end I get both of them so Moritaka won’t feel lonely~
@Harata: I prefer Akito’s face too but Moritaka’s accessories are nice and they’re supposed to be a pair. So I ordered both too…such suckers we are lol~
This April of doom… Gonna get Hideyoshi and the plushes, Sebby, Ciel and Yuri Lowell. I’m praying for MegaHouse don’t release any GEM this month, like Kenshin or Gintama guys. My luck I’ve found Kyon boring with only those 2 faces, and I’m not into character. I’d love to get Bakuman nendos, I really try to get them if I could. I’d make Moritaka draw me BL manga XDDD.
LOL a friend of mine said that belly on Moritaka is perfect for a mprego nendo and Akito has a rapist face XDDDD the first pic of this article she said sometime ago, they’re celebrating the exams result, doctor said it’s a boy! XDDDDDDD Oh my, fujoshi imagination is wonderful.
@planck-chan: Yep… maybe some of them will get delayed XD lol~ Moritaka draw BL manga! XD That’ll be cute!
“Akita has a rapist face” lol~ lol~ XDDD OMG he does especially with that fogged glasses!
“Doctor said it’s a boy!” I love your BL filter :D
Wow I kind of like the megane nenodroid, the eyes details are pretty cool! Or maybe I just have megane-complex…. ahaha
@hirochan: lol~ maybe you do :D I like megane boys too.
