Why can't YunYun join the party. :(

Because she already has her own party, with lots of friends, because she's beloved and popular, unlike poor Megumin who doesn't have a party at all.

"chunchun" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a small bird chirping. So it's basically the "chirp-chirp" blade.
That's a great name for such a short sword.

Dunno if they're just the previous ones at a stage closer to release or not.
Apparently there's a prototype image of a Darkness Nendo from this year so there's definitely that one which is new.

Aqua nendo has already been released a while ago. Megumin nendo is in preorder now. Im guessing crunchy is at a con and the nendos were there.

I got my Aqua, have Megumin pre-ordered, and whether I buy Darkness depends on what expressions she comes with, I guess.

It's a combination of several factors.

It's based off this image.

Now that Sachiko has two SSRs, I feel it is appropriate to post this.



My good friend Can't Elope from the idol thread made it for me.


The character is Koizumi Sachiko from iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls. Her gimmick is that she proclaims herself the cutest. She refers to herself as Kawai Boku, which has been translated as Cute Me / My Cute Self.

The thing she's doing is a Korean meme.

quote:

According to The Bangkok Post, "Gwiyomi" or "Kiyomi" is Korean slang used to refer to a cute person.[8] The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as "1 + 1 = Cutie, 2 + 2 = Cutie", etc.[8]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptZ1wo3JsPc

Only in the picture, Gwiyomi has been replaced with Kawaii Boku.

And then the transcending thing is from a fancomic featuring Sachiko.

This panel in particular.

he's the best character but it's also very konosuba to have him left out like that

I appreciate being in on the joke though, that is quite funny.

Darkness is a very good girl who did nothing wrong but lots of things right and deserves to be with her two friends on your hobby collectables shelf regardless of her expressions imo.

She's great, I have avatar state Korra and demon Rem right now chasing her down in a panic.

I highly doubt Kazuma or Subaru from re zero will ever get a nendoroid since orange Rouge line mostly caters to fujoshi and shounen, but eh they made Sora from NGNL as a packed in figure so maybe they'll make Kazuma to move a light novel in a pack.

I missed my chance at getting Aqua, but that was because I was hoping for a Megumin. Now I pre-ordered Megumin and I plan to get Darkness, what are my chances at getting a re-release of Aqua?

Nendoroid reruns are rare ish so it'll depend how popular Konosuba stays. Your best bet is adding her to figinstock and getting a second hand one from amiami or mandarake since a rerun won't happen for a year or two if it does, since you had about a two month window after her release in November to still get her, meaning she didn't sell super amazingly.

For reference, Kirito has had several reruns and still sells out pre orders months before his release, and Rem on her first run ran out of pre orders months in advance too and even had an increased demand production run.

Megumin will probably get a re release before Aqua since she's the most popular character.

The figurine world space is such an oddity. We'll never get a Kazuma figure, even though he's a character with personality rather than just an audience stand-in, Overlord got Ainz made and No Game No Life had essentially only Shiro figurines, ignoring her co-dependency on her brother. At least nendoroids got that right.

A few isekai shows already got nendoroids so Kazuma and Subaru are possibilities but they'll probably be tied to a spin off novel to increase sales in a bundle. They'll never get scale figures though since only fujoshi bait get that.

Subaru has nendoroid more art of him made but Kazuma doesn't, so I would wager Subaru is more likely.

Still infuriating though because it's not a full party without Kazuma. Not to mention a billion nendoroid kotatsu exist.
