‘Nendoroid Planet’ iPhone app mini-guide

Nendoroid Planet iPhone App

For those of you who haven’t heard yet, Goodsmile Company came out recently with an iphone app titled Nendoroid Planet. Being an avid nendoroid fan, I was overjoyed to hear that there was now an app featuring nendoroids. I downloaded the app right away and began playing with it. So I though I might as well post something highlighting the app and giving a mini-guide on how to operate the app and play the game.

Above we have the main screen that you see when you start the app. Click the button on the upper left to start. Continue reading

Fake Melissa Seraphy Nendoroid actually isn’t too bad.

I’m sure we’ve all seen the horror that is fake figures. More often than not the quality is rather terrible, almost comical. However, I recently recieved a fake Melissa Seraphy nenoroid that (in my opinion) isn’t actually all that bad looking.

Fake Melissa Seraphy Nendoroid

I got her as a gift a while back but unfortuantly the person who bought her doesn’t know how to spot a fake. I could tell she was a fake right away, however I don’t think she looks all that bad!

I mean, it is a bit obvious that she is fake, but the quality isn’t atrocious like other fakes I’ve seen. What do you think?

Fake Melissa Seraphy

Being a fake, of course the stand she came with won’t even fit her. So I have to prop her up against something in order for her to stand up. And she has the usual problem of fake figures with her arms and other bits falling off rather easy. You can’t really pose her any more than how she is right now.

Overall, I think I will keep her. Heck, I will even have her on display! (not on my main figure shelves, of course ^^)

UPDATE: On a more serious matter: My heart goes out to all of those who have been affected by the earthquake / tsunami in Japan. I hope everyone is safe and hopefully damage is minimal. I wish I could help in some way, but there isn’t much I can do all the way across the world in NY. I hope Japan has a speedy recovery! 頑張ってください!!

Happy Holidays!

I just love the holidays, don’t you? Well, its that time of year again. Christmas is next week! Its amazing how fast time flies, 2011 is right around the corner. It’s been rather cold here in NYC, cold enough to get some snowfall! Usually I’m not a big fan of cold weather, but somehow when it snows I don’t mind it. There is something about the snow that seems almost magical ^^.

Mio and Azusa christmas tree

But anyhow, I found this cute little nendoroid sized Christmas tree the other day. It’s the perfect size! So naturally I had to take some pictures of nendoroids next to it. Mio and Azusa are just so cute, aren’t they?
