The big convention in my area, Naka-Kon in Overland Park, Kan., is just a week away! So if any of you are reading this, and you plan on going, AND you see some guy taking photos of his nendoroids, say “hi” because it will most likely be me.

Also, posts might be scarce next weekend simply because the damned hotel doesn’t have complimentary Internet access. It does, however, have “pay-us-even-more-money-so-you-can-have-Internet” access. I really don’t feel like doing that, so either I’ll wait until I get back to start blogging again, or I’ll try to add posts to my queue before I leave and set them to post throughout the weekend.

Hello, Ms. Tomoe.

Black Rock Shooter is owned by Ryohei Huke.
K-ON! is owned by Kakifly.
Shakugan no Shana is owned by Yashichiro Takahashi and Noizi Ito.
Strike Witches is owned by Humikane Shimada.

I stole a variation of this idea from Tentacle Armada, which, by the way, has some amazing figure photos. I may or may not get every nendoroid on this list, but it’s nice to share what I desire, I guess. And because, hey, why not?
 

Erio Touwa

Such a beautiful nendoroid. I love how placid and even emotionless her default face is. Some figure collectors might say “boring” but I think she’s rather intriguing.
 

Haqua

Pretty much the opposite of Erio. Easily excitable and comes with a wide range of emotions. If I had to choose between Haqua and Elsie from The World God Only Knows, I would pick Haqua. Though Elsie is cute too.
 

Charlotte E. Yeager

This should not come as any surprise if you’ve been following me for any significant amount of time. My goal is to collect all the Strike Witches nendoroids, even Yoshika, who has become rather pricey.
 

Ayase Arigaki

Yeah, I’d rather get Kuroneko, but she was released in 2011, so Ayase is taking her place on this list. Now all we need is Manami with her glasses.
 

Nero Yuzurizaki

A few months ago I would have passed on this nendoroid because she reminds me of a certain fast food chain. But now that I’m hooked on Milky Holmes, this one is a must-have.
 

Popura Taneshima

There is no way in hell I’m letting this one slip away. Working!! isn’t my favorite anime, but Popura is one of my favorite characters of any anime and looks so … natural as a nendoroid.
 

Ai Nanasaki

One of the rare instances where I want to buy a nendoroid without having seen a single episode of the anime she’s from. Short, dark hair and a tasteful school uniform will do it for me.
 

Cordelia Glauca

Honestly, I think they went a little overboard when designing this character for the anime. The flowers in her hair are just too distracting. Having said that, she needs to join my collection as a Milky Holmes girl.

I’ve always believed that we needed more violent female nendoroids. I think this fits that description. Set for release June 2012.

I think you all can see where this is going.

I’m not sure I like Mami’s smiling face. The mouth is too wide for my tastes. That’s why she’s frowning while drinking her tea. I’ve kept her beside my laptop for the past couple of nights, and whenever I look at her, it’s almost as if she’s disapproving of whatever website I happen to be on. Tonight, however, I get the feeling she doesn’t like being shorter than an 18-55mm camera lens. She needs to be just a head taller …
