Ooh! It’s a healing potion! Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟ )

Edako from the production team is holding a small bottle filled with an orange liquid… it’s so tiny! I’ll happily help myself to recover some HP though!!

From ‘Sword Art Online’:
Nendoroid Kirito!

The second Nendoroid from SAO following on from Nendoroid Asuna!

Now you’ll be able to display the two of them together flirting around with each other, fighting alongside each other or however else you want to see them together!

Unfortunately the Nendoroid Asuna prototype has been sent off to China, so I wasn’t able to use her for these photos! Darn!

This is how she looks from the back!

Kirito is of course the only character with the ‘Dual Blades’ unique skill, so he has two swords on his back! That said, you can also remove one of the scabbards and instead pose him using a single blade, if you prefer!

To the right you can see the S-class ingredient ‘Ragout Rabbit’

The plump looking area around the rabbit’s neck looks lovely! 😛

His favorite sword, Elucidator!

Kirito is also known as the fastest swordsman in the Progressers, so of course he comes with his black sword! He also comes with a bent left arm and a bent left leg, which allows you to recreate this famous pose from the key visual!

We once again have the Ragout Rabbit on the left… but this time he is completely out of focus!! (((；゜Д゜)))

Elucidator: Clear Ver.!

This is included to allow you to display him while is he is using his skills! It’s completely separate from the previous version, and is made to look like it’s glowing with light! He also comes with a bent arm for the right arm, so you really have a lot of options while trying to get the pose you want!

It appears the Ragout Rabbit is quite impressed with Kirito’s glowing sword!!

Dark Repulser is also included!

This allows you to pose him with both blades for his ‘Dual Blades’ skill! He also comes with this expression which works nicely for combat scenes! You can make some really nice dynamic poses which suit his ‘Fastest Swordsman’ title!

The Ragout Rabbit better start running if he doesn’t want to be eaten! 😛

The swords can be removed from both scabbards!

You can also pose him with just one removed, so you can mix and match depending on how many swords you want him to have on him. But there is a lot more to enjoy than just his swords – just look at the detail on his black outfit or the paintwork on his shoes! I’m certain fans will be very happy with this one!

Save the party with a healing potion!

Now the size seems to fit just right! There is a tab on the potion that allows you to place it in Kirito’s hand – it holds in place very nicely!

But it was too late for the potion!!

A despaired expression for when he loses his party members!! (ﾟДﾟ）

Seeing the potion lying at his feet just adds to the effect – it’s such a sad looking scene! Poor Kirito!

I managed to get hold of a prototype!!

Prototypes are all very contested at the moment – between needing their second painted version done, going out to events, going out for photography or needing to be put up on the blog… it’s quite hard to get hold of them!

Every figure goes through a number of adjustments after all the departments have had time to discuss it, but whenever I’m running behind on a blog, someone will always bring the figure through to me to review… thanks everyone, and sorry for the trouble!!

Anyway, today we’ll be taking a look at this Nendoroid!
From Sword Art Online:
Nendoroid Asuna!!

From the popular anime ‘Sword Art Online’ comes a Nendoroid of the beautiful Knight and subleader of the Knights of the Blood, Asuna! Recreate all your favorite scenes from the online world of Sword Art Online!

The Nendoroid of the master cook and powerful fighter is based off the anime’s design – doesn’t she look beautiful?! (･∀･)ﾉ

This is how she looks from the back!

The braided and tied up hair looks so cute in Nendoroid form! There is also a joint in the back ponytail for extra posing options! Her outfit is wonderfully detailed with lovely paintwork – the boots, sword and scabbard are all painted with a shiny silver.

Let’s take a look at the optional parts!
A smiling face and Menu Window!

Just look at that angelic smile! I want her to be my bride, not Kirito’s!

Sword Art Online is also known for it’s game menus that the players can open up to use items, add friends and various other things. This menu is included with Asuna, so you can pose her together with it!

Lambent Light!

Asuna’s primary weapon is this blade known as Lambent Light! You can pose her simply enjoying herself with the sword like this, or make use of the bent arms and leg to recreate the famous pose from the key visual of the series.

I’m certain Yuri-chan will add a photo of that pose on the GSC website once she is officially announced – so take a look at it there!

Lambent Light while using skills and a serious face!

Those who like having two different options of swords will be glad to see this version is also included. She also includes a scabbard with a sword in and one with it drawn! Various hand parts that allow her to hold the swords at a number of angles, which together with the bent arm parts provide you with a number of different posing options.

Although most Nendoroids are only posable at the hips, Asuna has joints at her hips as well as two areas around her chest for even more posing options! Unfortunately because she is a prototype I can’t play around too much with posing… I’m too worried I’ll break something. Even so, I think this picture came out quite nicely!!

Asuna looks so happy!

I wonder why she’s so happy…? (*´∀｀*)

Nendoroid Kirito is also on his way!

That explains why she’s so happy! These two will look great displayed with one and other… I can’t wait to see the Kirito Nendoroid!
