Nendoroid Al Azif

The sugary swirling of snowy white icing, the sunny yellow of jelly lemon slices with a rainbow sprinkling of candy flowers and nonpareils. What could possibly make a cupcake sweeter? Only the addition of a secret special ingredient ^_~ Al Azif, the lavender-haired lolita from Good Smile’s nendoroid series makes an adorable appearance on the merry cake tier.
The Nitro+ series Demonbane presents the delicate Al Azif as the personification of the Lovecraft’s legendary tome the Necromomicon. In her creamy white gown with its blood red fastenings of ribbon Al Azif is a dream in goth lolita. Contrary to the pretence of girlish fragility, she is formidable and fierce. The nendoroid styling seals this potent fury in a candied coating making Al Azif a sour sherbet lemon to suck at your peril.Al Azif’s ornate outfit and tresses are reduced from their wedding cake grandeur to cupcakey cuteness in their nendoroid form. She is accompanied by her nekomimi headset and the yellow gumdrop Cyclops mascot. Under her frilly skirts, Al Azif’s panties are the sweet colour of matcha parfait. Pure cream of condensed kawaii!

Nendoroid Nao

The magic of Nendoroids is that if once encountered, you are always enchanted. Their charming proportions crop up in my collection with decorative and happy freshness. They are like tiny buds of the first plucky blossoms to emerge in the cusp of spring. Good Smile’s sweet chibi vignettes are tiny posies, arranged to become of highest calibre of cuteness.
Little Nao of the game Mabonogi was another irresistible incognito impulse buy… However, I am able to placate my ignorance with fact that she beings sweet harmony to my bookshelf ^_^
The sorceress’s hair is of the pale hue of heather honey, her eyes like the dusky summer sky. Nao’s tiny costume flows from her body in a miniaturised form of the elegant translucent gown she wears in the game. With the beauty of the Milky Way and midnight, the nendoroid commands surprising elegance in this petite incarnation. Amongst her complimentary caboodle, Nao possesses a staff and an adorable owl familiar (ovo)!!! So cute! I had to pop him on her little head! Kya!

Misa-Misa Nendoroid

She’s up to something nasty! Idol Misa Amane, Yagami Light’s little love slave appears in full Goth Loli glory in Good Smile’s Nendoroid line.
Death Note's Misa-Misa is a perfect mini mix of the kawaii and the macabre. A sweet porcelain dolly mixture that is the candied essence of the Goth Loli style. As a nendoroid she is an irresistible bite-sized morsel, right down to the stockings and suspenders! Like her full-sized counterpart, her cuteness is laced with something that alludes to darkness, concealing a deadly secret like a poisoned berry. Just because she’s cute, doesn’t mean she’s not out to get you!

L Nendoroid

Always hot on the heels of Yagami Light is super sleuth L, Kira’s arch nemesis. With a taste for the finer things such as sweet confections and teas, L is a curiosity alive with an array of eccentric idiosyncrasies.
The Nendoroids return with this perfect miniature, in the grips of some petulant contemplation L adopts the iconic pose in his favourite nesting spot.
KA-WA-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! The only thing the set IS missing is a miniature tea cup and an array of delicate pastries… and man servant Watari…
L’s mannerisms and irrefutable cuteness is amplified by the petite bulbous form of the Nendoroid incarnation. It is all that I can do to resist sticking a dessert fork into that delicious little face (>_<);; Ittakismasu!

Yagami Light & Ryuk Nendoroids

“Ne Raito…” Megalomaniacal poster boy Yagami Light and shinigami Ryuk of Death Note make their debut in Goodsmile’s Nendoroid series.
The poseable pieces come with an array of accessories and expressions to create a scene tailored to suit your deathly desires, whatever they may be.
Preferring my Light on the dark side, I adopted this disinterested expression (that reminded me intensely of Moriyama Sunao of Potemayo ^_^) equipping him with the tools Kira’s deadly divinity. I like my boys to be calculating, ruthless, intellectual and evil and Light with his delusions of grandeur is the dynamite mix that makes for one atomic sexpot. I just want to EAT HIM!
…Ryuk is a work of genius. The elevated support base creates an impression of ominous silent hovering. His goggle-faced expression is simply perfect, the hinged jaw offering the only variation necessary to emulate his emotional range.
The SD forms create a divine comedy of the characters, a chorus of the apathetic angels of death.

Nendoroid Suzumiya Haruhi & Nagato Yuki

Nendoroid-orama! Good Smile Company, one of my top 3 model manufacturers came up with an ingenious line of figures called nendoroids. Similar to the Kaiyodo Keroro Gunsou shotai series of posable characters with interchangeable props and parts, these models are high class chibis for the model connoisseur with the finest finishing on the market.
First up are the Suzumiya Haruhi figures, with miss melancholy herself and the ever evanescent Nagato Yuki.
Naturally, they are fiddly and difficult to pose but considering how top heavy chibi models are by default, Good Smile reins triumphant with these masterful and charming creations! Haruhi’s character brims with a volatile potency so I posed her up accordingly to add a bit of steadfast genki moe to my days. Yuki, so sweetly antisocial is like me, to be found most commonly on the outskirts, nose in a book amongst the veritable carnival, which is my figure wonderland. Chibi deluxe BANZAI \(^o^)/
