Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The MOVIE 1st !
We received a couple of sample boxes from the manufacturers!
I know that lots of you were have been patiently waiting for these to release, but the wait is finally over!
They are due for release on the 12th of October! (・∀・)ノ
Each one of these boxes contains 12 smaller boxes with the Nendos inside - and each of those boxes are unlabeled so you don't know who you'll get until you've opened it!
Alright, time to open my first one!!
It's Chrono Harlaown!
The lucky number one was Chrono!
He comes with his magical device "S2U" which you can easily make him hold by removing the bottom part of the device and sliding it through his hand.
Onto the next box...
My second choice was Arf ! (Barrier Jacket)
She has also come out very nicely!
Normally Nendoroid Petites make use of the prop stands that connect into their backs, but Arf uses the same kind of stand that full-size Nendoroids use now, where the stand supports the entire figure. It's a nice change!
Fate Testarossa! (Barrier Jacket)
Yay! I got Fate-chan!!!
She comes complete with Bardiche in Scythe Form, which makes use of clear plastic for a nice effect on the edge of the scythe!! She's also posed in dynamic pose with her hair blowing backwards as she charges ahead to cut someone down with Bardiche!
Here is the whole collection out the boxes!

That is the secret figure, which I'm keeping a secret!
Just which character is wearing what outfit will be remain a surprise for you!!
Let's get back to introducing them one by one now...
Nanoha Takamachi! (Barrier Jacket)
I must say that the paint work on the Nendos must be getting better and better with every set... the amount of detail on these Nendos is the best I've ever seen!
Yuuno Scrya! (Barrier Jacket)
It's poses like this really define the Nendoroid Petites, don't you think? His shoulders are fitted with joints for adjusting the pose to your liking.
Here he is with Nanoha!
Oh, and his cape can also be removed as you can see here! He looks great with or without it.
Here are Fate and Arf together!
The ability to pose your favorite characters together is just another great part of Nendo Petites, you could even recreate the fighting scenes from the movie!
Here are all five together!

They really all look great in their barrier jackets!!
Plus they all have their devices with them... they are so nicely made that it's hard to think they are just Nendo Petites!
Anyway, let's continue with the other girls!
Nanoha Takamachi (Uniform)
and
Fate Testarossa (Casual)
Nanoha is wearing her elementary school uniform, and Fate-chan has her hair down and is dressed in her casual clothes! Fate-chan also comes with Bardiche in Axe Form. The two of them together make quite the killer combo....! (in terms of cuteness, at the very least.)
Alisa Bannings with Yunno Scrya (Ferret)
and
Suzuka Tsukimura with Arf (Wolf)
Alisa comes with Yuuno in his ferret form, and Suzuka comes with Arf in her wolf form! They're all so gorgeous! For those who don't know, Alisa and Suzuka are Nanoha's friends from school!
Nanoha Takamachi! (Casual)
She comes holding Raging Heart in Device Mode, and with a beautiful angel-like smile!
All the expressions are exchangeable!
You can give Fate-chan that adorable smile!

The smile is from the casual Nanoha, and the body is from Suzuka, but it all suits Fate-chan so well!
You can do all sorts of combination, just have fun!
Oooh! I really liked the barrier jacket line-up, but this line-up is a completely different kind of cute!
Nanoha fans - your desk is in for a big treat!!
