~ Nendoroid Petit Fate Saber Swimsuit Version

This is my first petite Nendoroid in my collection. This Saber actually came bundled with anime magazine. I manage to buy only the figure for 200yen. It's quite a good deal I think as I like Saber. Each petite figure is about 5cm tall.

This is the box which is too big in my opinion.  It is flat box like a book.

The inner plastic bag packing. 

She is cute and adorable. She comes with a small display stand. 

~ The Black Haul

When I received this parcel, I was really shocked to see the dented marks on the box. This box was shipped by EMS. It really made me heart break. :(



Here comes the "Black haul" which actually arrived on the same day as Nendoroid Miku Support. Figma and Nendoroid Strength and Griffon model kit. :)

~ Nendoroid Miku Support Arrived !!!

Finally she arrived, I have been waiting for more than one month. Hmmm, I think its more appropriate for me to say all the customer who ordered the Miku Support version worry about their purchase due to GSC staff wrongly sent out almost all orders by surface mail instead of EMS. This is a serious mistake. However, last week GSC apologized officially to all customers and refunds the EMS fees (2000 yen). I am happy to receive my Miku but one of the box suffers some box crease at edge due to box size and bad packing method.



The box just fits the Nendoroid nicely. Some people reported that their box get crushed or damage. I think GSC should improve their packaging method like Amiami and Hobby Search did.

~ Identify Bootleg Nendoroid Part 2

I found a useful article from Nendonesia website. A very useful article with images to teach you how to further identify fake or bootleg Nendoroid. The most obivious parts of bootleg are still shiny skin tone and irregular size. However, beware fellow collectors. The quality of bootleg are improving especially Kuroneko !!! So, becareful while purchasing a Nendoroid.
