Alice and Clara are definitely special. Being the popular junior high idol unit known as ClariS, they have been made famous by singing the opening songs for popular anime series such as Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai and Puella Magi Madoka Magica. In tandem with their recent single release, Good Smile Company has created the vessel for their Nendoroid debut.
More information and photos after the jump.
Painted photos and full product descriptions have appeared on Goodsmile Company's website for their Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Nendoroids. The promiscuious blond angel Panty will come with a small figurine of Chuck, and her signature Blacklace guns. Her sister Stocking includes her doll, twin katana blades, and a Swiss roll and fork. Both will come with interchangeable faces, retail each for 3,500 yen, and be released later this year in June.

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!
With Wonder Festival Summer 2010 creeping around the corner, companies could not but help leak some of the goodies that will be available for order or pre-order.
Last Wonder Festival we saw two Nendroids; Mio and Ritsu, both in their Live Stage outfits. With the second season anime just as popular as ever, K-ON! is getting more Nendoroid treatment, this time featuring both the guitarist "Yui Hirasawa" and the keyboardist "Tsumugi Kotobuki" wearing the costumes they wore at Sakura High's Festival.
Both figures come with two different expressions as well as their respective instruments, and Yui even comes with castanets to recreate the ever-popular "Untan ♪" scene! The set also comes with a di:stage for them to perform on till their heart's are content!
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.
Better late than never, GSC has released pre-orders for the the popular Nendoroid-Petit Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha set. Nendoroid-Petits based off of Nanoha the Movie, are sure to be an instant hit for any Nendoroid or Nanoha fan.
As popular as ever, Good Smile Company has released the Black ★ Rock Shooter Nendoroid and figma for pre-order at local internet retailers. As we've all seen the pre-production pictures, these finalized PVC figures are sure to be a treat for any BRS fan. Pre-order numbers hit in the 20,000 range within the first day!
The Nendoroid version comes with her Rock Cannon and Black Blade and even comes with the checkered stand. Like all Nendroids, extra hair parts and different attachments are included.
