I’m sure many of you will recognize these numbered penguins!
Animal figures in anime style are so cute! As much as I love the characters themselves, I have to say I also adore these cute little creatures!
Although, they’re most certainly not the only cute figures we have today… because today we’ll be taking a look at this lovely figure!
From Mawaru Penguindrum:
Nendoroid Princess of the Crystal!
A Nendoroid of the mysterious character that Himari changed into when she put on the penguin hat – The Princess of the Crystal! The skirt, scarf and frilly parts on her arms can all be removed allowing you to pose her all the stages of the famous transformation scene as well!
This is how the packaging looks!
As you can see, she comes with all sorts of extra goodies to play with! The packaging is actually slightly bigger than the standard Nendoroid packaging – its the same size as the Cheerful Miku packaging. Penguins #1, #2 and #3 are also all included!
This is how she looks from the back!
The twin tails coming out from the hat are fitted with Nendoroid joints! They move in all sorts of directions for interesting poses!
She can also stand on her own without a stand!! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*）
Plus it’s not just balanced, she is actually very stable! I’m sure you could even bump the table and she still wouldn’t fall down!
A shouting expression and her huge skirt!
These parts are actually to recreate the famous ‘Imagine!’ scene with her hand up in the air, but I decided to use the bent arms which give her a more angry appearance! There are two skirts included – one that is closed up and this one which is opened out.
Her hat can also be removed!
Of course in terms of the storyline, the hat shouldn’t really be able to be removed, but as a figure anything is possible! Using the face with closed eyes also makes her look a lot more like the gentle Himari!
“Lets initiate the survival strategy!”
With all the parts that are included, you can recreate all the different parts of the transformation scene! At the end you can have her like this, with all the frills of her outfit removed!
Plus just like in the show, you can have her stand atop the penguins!
Something I never took a look at on the prototype…
They’re triple laced!!
I’m amazed to see something like this made to such detail on the Nendoroid!! As you can see, the arm stand has a little extra attachment that allows you to pose her standing on the penguins!
A truly adorable Princess!
The expression is the crying expression from Nendoroid Sakura Miku! I wanted to recreate a more Himari-chan like pose, but then I found out that Himari’s eyes are actually purple when she isn’t transformed! But I guess seeing the Princess of the Crystal like this is just as cute! (`･ω･´)
