2017 Snow Miku Nendoroid Unboxing Video

8 / 8 / 17

Long time no post! I’m really excited to be getting back into the groove now that my thesis has been submitted, and that means more videos! I got a new camera, aย Canon EOS M3, so hopefully the quality of my videos will be much better going forward, too!

Today’s video is an unboxing of the 2017 Snow Miku Nendoroid, which I preordered back in February and just received in the mail about a week ago. If you’re not familiar with the Snow Miku figures, Good Smile Company holds a contest every year for fans to submit their designs. The winning design is made into a Nendoroid and a figma!

Snow Miku is closely tied with Hokkaido’s Snow Festival, so the contest themes are related to various aspects of Hokkaido (Snow Miku’s animal friend is based on a type of mountain hare native to Hokkaido!). This year’s theme was “the starry sky/winter constellations in Hokkaido,”ย and this was the first year the winning design was chosen entirely by online voters!

Please leave a comment with kind of videos you’d like to see more of! (either here or on Youtube is fine) My goal is to upload one video a week! Your feedback helps keep me motivated!

February Favorites: Pokemon Stickers and Folding Clothes

3 / 14 / 17

February Favorites 2017 Chic Pixel

I love how my February Favorites roundup is at two extremes: on one end, I purchased a sticker book that is meant for children, and on the other, I’m perfecting the very boring yet adult art of organizing my clothes. At least I keep things interesting! This month’s post will be shorter than previous Favorites, but you may be surprised to read what I have to say about each one of my picks!

Fan Campaigns for More Gatchaman Crowds Nendoroids

1 / 12 / 172 / 22 / 17

fan-berg-katze-nendoroid

Gatchman Crowdsย was one of my favorite anime that aired in 2013, so when I heard Good Smile Company was making Nendoroids of two of the main characters, Hajime and Utsutsu, I was thrilled! I finally got my hands on the Utsutsu Nendoroid last year, and seeing it in person confirmed that illustrator Kinako’sย character designs look absolutely amazing in Nendoroid form.

Unfortunately, however, Good Smile Company has yet to announce anyย furtherย Gatchaman Crowds Nendoroid releases beyond Hajime and Utsutsu, which is a shame because there are so many other iconic characters in the series! I’m not the only one who thinks this should happen, as user Dhamaphorn has started campaigning across social media asking fellowย Gatchaman Crowds fans to submit requests for more Nendoroids to GSC through their online form. What sets this campaign apart, however, is that Dhamaphorn has created her own mockupย Gatchaman Crowds Nendoroid designs to increase interest, and they look amazing!

Swooning Over: Utsutsu Nendoroid

8 / 28 / 16

Swooning Over Utsutsu Nendoroid

I’d never thought the day would come when I owned a Nendoroid wearing a bikini, but here we are! I just couldn’t resist grabbing a Nendoroid based on one of Kinako’s amazingย Gatchaman Crowds character designs. While Ichinose Hajime is actually my favorite character from the series, I was unfortunately a little disappointed by her Nendoroid‘s accessories. When I saw Utsutsu’s adorable Nendoroid form, however, I just couldn’t resist!

Bario X Monster Hunter Nendoroid Unboxing Video

1 / 20 / 16

A photo posted by Anne Lee (@apricotsushi) on Jan 18, 2016 at 2:49pm PST

 

If you’re a Monster Hunter fan, you’re going to want to check out my latest video where I unbox this awesome female hunter Nendoroid! She’s wearing the Bario X armor set and comes with a sword and shield and one alternate face. It’s one of the oldest Nendoroids I own, and you’ll see in the video that the parts aren’t the easiest to work with…

I even took her out to the park this week for some photos! I’m really happy with how the photo at the beginning of this turned out. It reminds me that I should branch out of my comfort zone more often and take photos with all the figures I buy! If you own any figures, do you enjoy photographing them? I’m always looking for more tips!

A lil late, but Happy Lunar New Year~
Hope everyone had a good one, and got to sneak in a little White Rabbit candy.
I'm a rabbit baby, and apparently it's real bad luck when it's your own zodiac year so uh.. Good luck to me 2023..
