\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hello, this is my first mail to you. I’m a girl that’s been collecting figures for about three years now. <\/span><\/strong>
\nThanks for all your hard work with this years Winter Wonfes!<\/span><\/strong> Unfortunately I didn’t get to go to the event itself but I did manage to catch the afternoon and evening parts of your live broadcast. The afternoon section was really fun to watch, so I hope there will be another section like that one next time!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

– Ponpon<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for a great WonFes! The live broadcast was also great to watch!<\/span><\/strong>
\nOf all the new products announced I find myself wanting a bunch of Nendoroids the most. There were a couple of scale figures I was hoping to see at the event that never seemed to appear… I hope it’s just that they weren’t ready yet!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hello, and thanks for the great WonFes live broadcast.<\/span><\/strong>
\nA live broadcast like that is really nice for people like me who couldn’t make it to the event itself, so I do hope you’ll continue to do them in the future. It was a really interesting watch!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Thanks again to everyone who attended WonFes or watched the live broadcast!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plus I don’t want to forget special thanks to those who greeted me at the booth… I’m sorry I couldn’t stop and chat for longer… but I was really glad to meet everyone! Plus I got some chocolates that were absolutely delicious!
\nWe’ll be sure to have some more fun ideas for the next WonFes… which is only six months away!!<\/p>\n

Oh, and don’t forget GSC is nearly at it’s 10th anniversary!!<\/p>\n

\n

I hereby request that GSC makes a MEIKO Nendoroid! (>_<) <\/span><\/strong>
\nShe’s my favorite!! She’s absolutely adorable! The first time I saw her it felt like an arrow pierced through my heart!! I really want a Nendoroid!! I’ve even had a dream once where I was able to display all of Crypton’s Vocaloid characters together at once… please help it come true!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve actually received a load of mail asking for a Nendoroid of Me-chan… and I’ll definitely send the thoughts through to the rest of the team…. but unfortunately I can’t promise anything just yet.<\/p>\n

\n

Sakura Miku was so cute I thought I was going to explode when I saw her…. I’d love to go to Mikupa, but it’s on the 9th of March which is also the graduation announcements at my university! What a cruel twist of fate! There is no way I can go to both of them!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is there any hope that we will see a full Nendoroid version of Sakura Miku!? I want her to be blooming in my collection!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>– Moniko
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

At the moment there are currently no plans for a full Nendoroid…<\/span><\/strong>
\nI hope my apologies will suffice… I’m sorry!<\/p>\n

\n

I hope you’ll be filling up the figma and Nendoroid Touhou collection with more characters!<\/span><\/strong>
\nI’d love to see Sanae, Suwako, Kanako and Cirno!!! (Sanae is already a Nendoroid though….)<\/span><\/strong>
\nThis would be the ideal line-up for me, so if it were to come true I’m fairly certain I’d buy loads of them out of happiness!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

– Akatsuki<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations !<\/span><\/p>\n

The 9th girl to join the Touhou Nendo series will be…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I keep a large collection of GSC’s Nendoroids at home, but I’ve recently noticed that Phat! Company has also started to create Nendoroids for sale now. Will the face parts from makers other than GSC still be compatible with GSC’s Nendoroids? I love to exchange expressions between GSC’s and Phat! Company’s Nendoroids.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

– Anonymous
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I went and asked Uchitarou from Phat! Company!
\nWithout a specific product name mentioned he couldn’t say for sure, but generally speaking the Nendoroids are made to have exchangeable expressions with other GSC Nendoroids!<\/strong><\/p>\n

However sometimes there are cases where things need to be changed in production, so not ALL Nendoroids will have exchangeable expressions.<\/p>\n

\n

A question regarding one of Phat! Company’s Nendoroids – will Akito Takagi’s headphones be removable?<\/strong><\/span>
\nSorry for asking about another companies figures… if you don’t know then don’t worry about it!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– Miya<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Time to go ask Uchitarou once more!
\nThey are indeed removable!
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Time to bring up a rather difficult topic… the other day I found a Nendoroid that I am fairly certain was a pirated version of the original. I’ve never seen the Nendoroid on your “Pirated Goods” page on the site so I figured I should bring it up. Should I mention things like this to GSC when I find them? Should I send a picture of the Nendoroid I found?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– Zeroichi<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for informing us. We try to keep people informed about pirate versions as much as possible so you don’t end up with a cheap substitute for a great figure.<\/p>\n

If you find a figure you believe to be a pirated edition then please send a mail through to support.<\/span><\/strong>
\nIf you can send images along with the report then that will only be better, but even if you can’t let us know!<\/p>\n

\n

Today I’m mailing you about figure display cases, or at least how exactly one displays their collection of figures. I’m sure it’s a problem that plagues a number of collectors, so I thought I’d ask you and the GSC staff how you display your figures.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– Matatsu<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Okay! <\/span><\/p>\n

I went around and took some quick photos of how the female staff here at GSC are displaying some of their figures!<\/p>\n

I always wanted to get the new Snow Miku… then I saw the ice tray and nothing could stop me from getting it! \uff08\u2267\u2207\u2266\uff09\u30ce<\/strong><\/span>
\nIt’s perfect for making valentines chocolates! Unfortunately I can’t make it to Sapporo so I’ll be ordering via mail order.<\/strong><\/span>
\nIt’s a pity I won’t get it before Valentine’s day… but when will delivery be for the mail order figures? \uff08\u00b4\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb\uff09<\/strong><\/span>
\nI really don’t mind waiting, but I hope I’ll get her faster than last years~<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

She will be delivered to you in June!<\/span><\/strong>
\nSorry for the wait! Make sure to leave some freezer space open!<\/p>\n

Hello Mika-tan!<\/strong><\/span>
\nI look forward to your blog updates everyday!<\/strong><\/span>
\nMy question for you is simple: Why are there some products that never feature on your blog? Or can’t you say?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– Koron
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a bit depressing when a figure you really want to see doesn’t make it to the blog, isn’t it… I’m sorry… ;_;
\nThere are two main reasons that I can’t do a review of a figure on my blog:<\/p>\n

– The master figure has left for China before I got a hold of it<\/strong>
\n– Grown-up reasons ;)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another reason is that various other companies are starting up their own blogs now and obviously it’s more important for them to feature their own products before I get ahold of them. I do of course sometimes get the honour of upping a review of other companies products, normally by request of them or by me specifically asking to do so. It all comes down to whether the time can be found or not.<\/p>\n

I do try to do enough varying figures so that everyone will be happy!<\/p>\n

I haven’t mailed you in awhile so I decided to send this photo through. Personally I’m very proud of this one.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It really looks like she’s walking!!<\/span><\/strong>
\nIt’s a simple photo yet the effect is amazing!
\nI wonder where Miku is headed…<\/p>\n

I was passing by the area with my friend Leonov and we decided to recreate the scene from the Steins;Gate!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
