Feisty Noel

As mentioned in my last blog post, I received my order from Hobbysearch yesterday and I've been just really enjoying the little Nendoroid (my second ever). It's strange as I really didn't touch the first Nendoroid I ordered at all after I opened the box, she sat in the display cabinet and I never wanted to 'play' with her. I always found her a bit hard to pose but when Noel arrived, I was astounded at how very different she was from my first Nendoroid. I loved posing her and playing around with her plus she has such cute expressions.

Enough with the talking and on to the photos ...

When she first came up for pre-order earlier in the year, I was debating over getting this one but that was after my first Nendoroid arrived and I was a little wary so I didn't end up getting her. She was recently restocked at HS and I snapped her up right away. I had been revisiting her images while she was sold out so I take it as a sign.

Her gorgeous box comes with an equally gorgeous art inside that is actually designed to be used as a photo backdrop. Pretty awesome.

There are three different types of these monsters that she comes with. They stand quite well on their own. She also comes with a blue round disk that I forgot to take a photo of.

She comes with three different expressions, her default (seen in the first photo) this one and a crying/sad expression.

She also comes with this leaf thingy that I will call an umbrella. It works perfect for this shot.

And how can I forget the cookie. Her little pigtails do move up and down so that's fun to play with. I have her displayed like this at the moment in the cabinet but I have her pigtails lifted up like wings.

I'm super happy I decided to just get her. I was looking forward to the two on pre-order but now I am doubly excited for them.

My other HS purchase was an additional body for Kirino.

I wanted the swimsuit body but it was sold out so I opted for the Gym Suit Body instead. I originally got this so she could wear the raincoat set I had bought but it turned out it was lucky I bought this. I was trying to get her arms off her original body so I could put in the crossed arms part but her right arm snapped off at the sleeve. I managed to glue it back but now I can't move her arms only her elbows and hands. *sigh*. This is the third figure that I've had to glue. One of my figma figures had a similar thing happen to their arms as well. It's a little frustrating.

Anyhoo ... moving on.

Here she is on her new body looking like she's trying to figure out what the heck she is holding in her hands. Love this expression on her.

I'm really hoping Cu-poche either release another original character from their new 'Friends' line or release the body by itself from that line so I can use it as another body for Kirino. One where she can actually wear fabric clothing. That would be neat.

That's all for this post. Until next time, keep playing!
