For those of you who are still looking for ways to help the relief efforts after the recent disaster in Japan, Goodsmile Company just released the preorder details for their latest Nendoroid figurine of Hatsune Miku titled Support Version (Cheering/Cheerleader Version).

This version will be released with the previously released interchangeable faces (normal, singing, and Hatchune Miku face) as well as a new cheering face. Accessories include the onion leek arm, singing arms, pompoms, and a support flag.

The Nendoroid can be preordered on Goodsmile Company's online store from April 8 to April 21, 2011 for 3000 yen, with 1000 yen of the purchase donated to the Red Cross in Japan.

Shipping cost will be 2000 yen per order for Express Mail Service (EMS), so buyers may want to combine orders with friends to save money. Note, you may only purchase 5 of them per person.

The Nendoroid is expected to be released in late July 2011.

Goodsmile Company's latest release comes in the form of another Nendoroid Petit set! This time they release the 2nd set of Angel Beats! characters. This time the set features Tenshi, the flat-chested student council president, Otonashi, the main protagonist of the series, and finally the adorable vocalist and guitarist of the band Girls Dead Monster, Yui!

Each figure comes with optional items, such as Tenshi's Hand Sonic parts, Otonashi's gun and Yui's guitar, allowing for a variety of different poses and scenes to be remade in Nendoroid form. Tenshi also comes with two facial expressions: her standard emotionless face, as well as the smiling face that she showed in the final episode.

I'd personally say this set is far better than the first one, given they put Yui, Otonashi and Tenshi together in a single set. I was thinking they would've split these characters up, considering their popularity. But no matter, the set retails for 2,000 yen at your local hobby shops and is available for pre-order right now! The petit set should be set for release sometime in November. Keep your wallets full as there are sure to be more sets coming in the future!

Goodsmile Company posted teaser photos on their blog of some of the items that will be on display at the upcoming Summer Wonder Festival. Amongst those photos were three interesting ones. One portrays a pair of legs kneeling on top of a desk which resembles Tsubasa Hanekawa in the fifth DVD cover for Bakemonogatari. The second picture is a bit more vague, only featuring a stack of books and what appears to be a girl in a skirt (possibly wearing spats) sitting on top of more books. This somewhat resembles the third DVD cover of Bakemonogatari featuring Suruga Kanbaru. The last one is of Nadeko Sengoku fully painted in her DVD cover pose and background. Hopefully she will have interchangeable legs for collectors who wish to display her fully.

Comparison pictures included inside. We'll keep you updated as more information releases, and don't forget to stay tuned for our Summer Wonder Festival 2010 compilation report!

Good Smile Company really likes teasing us.  Posted on their Facebook page, they recently uploaded pictures of their latest Nendoroid Petit set: Racing Miku Set 2010 Version.  Featuring Miku, Rin and Luka all in racing/pit-stop outfits, this set is sure to be another hit.  Like the previous Nendoroid Petit Miku Racing set, this package also features another Nendoroid race car.  Users that missed out on the exclusive and limited full-sized Nendoroid Racing Miku now have a chance to recapture her in petit form!  The release date and exclusiveness for this Nendoroid Petit set is unknown, but usually when Good Smile Company posts images on their Facebook, the figure in question becomes available for pre-order in a couple of days.  So keep your eyes peeled and check your local online retailer.

Angel Beats! has seen it's fair share of Nendoroid Petit figures showing up in various magazines.  The August 2010 issue of Dengeki G's magazine comes with a Nendoroid Petit Tenshi figure.  The G's Festival Deluxe Vol. 06 magazine (Angel Beats! Edition) came with a Yuri Nendoroid Petit figure.  But now, finally and officially, Good Smile Company has opened reservations for their first Nendoroid Petit Angel Beats! Set.  This is the first set of possibly three total.  This set features Yuri, Shiina and Yusa.  An odd choice for combination, but none-the-less, still very cute.
