Good Smile Company's Nendoroid Dolls

Good Smile is running a campaign to celebrate their anniversary right now where you can submit suggestions for new nendoroids or re-releases of older ones!

It also sounds like they're considering making the custom faceplate system available in other countries, which would be amazing. 

 

not that it might count for anything, but i put in a vote for Mikuru Asahina from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

I asked for more Mo Dai Zu Shi characters and some Ace Attorney. (I think there was a Phoenix figma at some point?)

Actually what I really want is some Dragonball nendos, but I assume if they could have gotten that license they would have already.

This is the same reason I stopped asking for Free! Nendoroids years ago (besides that KyoAni literally never makes good figure merch for 99.99% of their shows), and why I never bothered to ask for Sailor Moon Nendoroids.  It's fine, KyoAni, I'll just live my life with two whole figures of Nitori and Butt Rin™.  I'm not mad.  It's fine.

Well maybe with the custom faceplates we can finally start making some of these guys!

Now all we need is for them to make nendoroid more basic hairpacks or something, because frankly hair is even more annoying to get right than the faces.

Oh gosh yes, Nendoroid More hairs would be a GODSEND.  Repainting hair parts isn't the hardest thing to do, but they're so easy to chip sometimes, and you can never get hair joints to match, because the paint immediately scrapes off of them as soon as you try to reposition the hair (like pigtails/ponytails) no matter how you try to paint the joints.  Even the most basic of hairstyles in some different colours would be incredible.  Brb submitting a form to ask for this!

Edit To Add: I also requested some Nendoroid Spare Joint Packs, because it would be AMAZING if we could buy spare joints in different colours, be it 'hair' colours or 'skin' colours.  I've seen a lot of people who break black hip joints that can't be easily replaced by anything else because of the colour.  If we could buy joints like you can get for Figma, that would change the game.

YES PLEASE, DO THEY KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND JUST PLAIN-ASS LOOKING BOY HAIR ON THE CHOP SHOP?!?!

YES, I SPENT MONTHS LOOKING FOR A BASIC BANG PIECE!!  And then looking for a #135 Ui just so I could destroy her hair and re-sculpt it myself.  I get why characters have very specific, recognizable hairstyles, but gosh it SUCKS when you want to make your own custom!  Nendoroid Doll Ryo has a pretty basic 'boy' hairstyle but his hair has been out of stock for years, practically.

I wish the Nendoroid Facemaker was available in the US because I've used it several times while here in Japan and I love it!

There's a Nendoroid Facemaker?

Only ships to Japan so yeah, you’d need to get a proxy to be able to get the faces to you - I’d assume something like tenso would work but I’ve never tried it...

Yep.  You make two faces and in about 2 weeks you get them. Sadly only in Japan...  I love it and will miss it.  Now if they had a custom nendoroid maker where you could actually customize a full nendoroid and they would ship it... OMG I would so use that! 

They asked about it during the recent suggestion campaign, so I'm hoping that means they're going to try to bring the option to the international market sometime soon.

That would actually be pretty neat. Although I'm already lacking space as it is. 😄

Oh I hope so!  I would be concerned about how packaging in the states goes because in Japan the nendoroid faces are small boxes.  Japan deliver services take more care than in the USA; the packages would get crushed in the USA mail! 

I wouldn't be too concerned, I'm sure they could easily figure out a slightly more rigid packing format for international mail.  Also, Nendoroid faces are pretty solid and thus not going to be prone to breaking, even if the boxes did get crushed, aside from being literally run over by a truck or something super unlikely to happen even in the worst of situations.

Oh no. I should have never clicked this topic.

Currently eyeing a bunch of clothing sets and wondering if I should just order and available figure now or wait until the announce one that I really like. 

 

i want to get the Nun costume set one of these days, myself;

 

 

I recently discovered that Nendoroid Doll bodies stain and now I'm so sad. One of them wore a black outfit for a year. The other got stained after 4 months of wearing the red gym outfit 

As for custom Nendoroids, I would seriously kill for Final Fantasy Nendoroids. I'm gonna try and customize some myself..... once I get over my fear of butchering a perfectly good Nendoroid. 

 

taking to that with a paper towel doused in 91% or purer Isopropyl Alcohol might, -MIGHT- remove it...

I have no clue what series/game/what-have-you these outfits are from, but they are calling to me:

For reference, they're from a donghua (Chinese anime) called "Mo Dao Zu Shi."  It's a 'bromance' series, because China won't allow it to be a true BL series.

Those robes are so gorgeous but alas, not available in Europe 😭

FINALLY got my wolf boy, Ash! I ordered him way back in May and he just kept getting pushed back. I'm very excited to finally have him here though!

I still think I maybe prefer the obi11 body in some ways, but I like the proportions of the nendoroid doll body a lot more already.

He is sooooooo cute!!!
