Good day to you all!
Kaho-tan here (＠gsc_kahotan), and I’m in a bit of a mad panic that the year’s almost over.
I can’t hide my surprise after noticing that there’s only one more Sunday left…!
Well, it’s time to move on! Today we’ll be taking a look at the product announced on today’s live broadcast…
“Nendroid Tomoyo Daidouji”♥︎
| From the manga masterpiece ‘Cardcaptor Sakura’ comes a Nendoroid of Sakura-chan’s best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji! She comes with three expressions including her standard expression, a sweet smiling expression, and an expression with sparking eyes for when she talks about Sakura-chan! Her video camera is also included for her to capture Sakura-chan’s every movement!Tomoyo has been sculpted wearing her Tomoeda Elementary School uniform with her hat included, which can also used with Nendoroid Kinomoto Sakura to display her in her school uniform! Be sure to add this cute little Tomoyo to your collection! |
OMG SOOO CUUUUTE!!(/ω＼)
Her luscious hair and soft gaze that seems to envelop, holding her trusty video cam as to not let one precious moment with Sakura-chan slip away ♡
Sakura’s most dear and trusted friend Tomoyo Daidouji has become even more small and cute♪
I can’t tell you how excited I am to see a girl I admire as much as Tomoyo transformed into a Nendoroid like this…! (said with profound emotion)
The way everything about Tomoyo exudes grace, the way she’s so thoughtful of others, and the way she wishes for absolutely nothing but Sakura’s happiness…
I read the manga when I was in the 6h grade, but it wasn’t until I was a adult that I was able to fully understand what Tomoyo meant by letting the one you love find true happiness even if it doesn’t involve you.
Of course, there’s also that more glittery side of “Cardcaptor Sakura,” with magic and cute costumes, but for me it was also the first manga to teach me some life lessons.
Even when I re-read it, I can’t put it down for a second! On the contrary, now that I’m older I can understand why Xiao Long acts the way he does! And I can’t wait to read it again!
Whoops, looks like I got king of carried away there… ヽ(;´ω｀)ノ
In addition to her standard expression, Tomoyo just wouldn’t be complete without this expression right here!
That’s right!
A sweet smiling expression♡
With a look like that on her face, it’s got to be either Sakura or Kero-chan that she’s filming… !
And seeing her smile like this is most certainly adorable, but for some reason it’s also so calming.
It has some sort of mysterious power over me, like an magic spell.
Somewhere inside of all that cuteness, I hope you also get a sense of her dependability.
In addition, a removable hat from her school uniform is also included!
The hat is the most vital part of the Tomoeda Elementary School Uniform! (At least to me.)
Just like Sakura’s hat, it features magnets for a no-nonsense perfect fit!♪
Another thing I want you to check out is her front hair portion… ＜○＞＜○＞
Do you see is… Yes, that’s right!
She also has a front hair portion with a headband, for when she isn’t wearing her hat!
If you equip the hat while she has her front bangs with the hair band on, the headband will stick out in front of the hat, due to the Nendoroid design.
I wanted to avoid that… !
But at the same time I wouldn’t settle for a Tomoyo without a headband… !
So in the end, we’ve included 2 different front hair portions (´□｀｡)
This really was nothing more than me being selfish… But I hope you’ll all forgive me!
By the way, we intend to have the side section of her hair made with a flexible material, so she’ll be easy to pose even when she’s holding her video camera.
And believe it or not, the preview screen portion on her video camera opens and closes, and even has the screen detail ー(σ・∀・)σ
Here you can see it open, but you can also close it like in the very first picture in this post, so have fun (●´ω｀●)
Oh, Oh! And, and, and…
The third and final expression you’ve been waiting for is… !
a “Starry Eyed Face!” ♥︎
We based this design on Tomoyo’s expression as she tells Sakura-chan how cute she is!
To see that sparkle in her eyes as she talks is just too cute! You’re just too cute, Tomoyo-chan!!
Here she is as she looks on at Sakura with video camera in hand♪
Tomoyo stands by Sakura’s side with the camera rolling, even during battles, lending Sakura more courage…!
Tomoyo is always smiling so demurely, but seeing her indulge like this is something you won’t want to miss (*´Д｀)=з
In other words, you can pair her with Nendoroid Sakura Kinomoto, on sale now, for even more “Cardcaptor Sakura” fun ♡
Here you can see Tomoyo quietly watching over Sakura as she runs into Yukito and gets all dreamy☆
And on top of that, there’s one more way super fun way for her to play with Sakura-chan that I definitely want you to try…!
For some reason I just couldn’t stop thinking about how it would look for Sakura to be in her school uniform…
So we’ve also included a special attachment part for the hat to enable Nedoroid Kinomoto Sakura to wear Nendoroid Tomoyo Daidouji’s Tomoeda Elementary school uniform hat! (｀・ω・´)ゞ
Sakura-chan in her school uniform!! ♡♡
There’s a special black band portion on the hat for each figure, so no matter which one of them is wearing it, it’s a perfect fit!
You will have to borrow the school uniform body from Tomoyo, for now, but I hope you’re all looking forward to a school uniform version of Sakura so they can be in uniform together.
Check out what she looks like from the back★
The uniform’s characteristic pointed collar and school emblem on the sleeve, the hem of her white skirt and ribbon on her hat fluttering in the breeze ♪
I think it’s sort of difficult to appreciate with Tomoyo’s long and flowing hair, but the uniform preserves every bit of cuteness in the original in SD Nendoroid style!
I hope you’ll all take some time to appreciate how well her uniform is made once you’ve taken her home (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
I hope it will bring you even more enjoyment from the world of “Cardcaptor Sakura”♪

But guess what else we’re doing!!
If you preorder your “Nendoroid Tomoyo Daidouji” from the Goodsmile Online Shop…
