Discovered a sweetie from Good Smile Company’s Nendroid Series, Kagamine Len (Kagamine Ren). The 10cm tall figure will be released late October 2008.
He reminds me of Sora from Kingdom Hearts XD I like the unhappy face with the pout. So cute! *pinch cheeks*
He has a twin sister too ^^ Kagamine Rin. Since I’m going to get her brother, I figured I should get him his sister too.
The characters are designed by illustrator Kei, and based on a sound-mixing software published by Yamaha.
An additional note, the “Draw a face” feature is actually achieved by pasting stickers that ship with the figure. If I read the text correctly, that is. ^^

So far, the Nendroid series of figures are very cute. Their parts are also interchangable too and you can cosplay the characters with one another ^^ I have to exercise all my willpower to not buy all the ones I liked ^^” The only Nendroid I think looks strange is the Nendroid petite Kyon from the Haruhi no Yuutsu (Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi).
Anyway, when the little ones arrive, my small Nendroid collection will go up to 5. The other ones I have are the re-issue of L, Light and Ryuk. Pity they didn’t re-issue Misa-misa (Not that I like her character but… her Nendroid is kinda sweet.)
My friend wants to buy both Vocaloid. (Rin and Len), told me she fell in love with the yellow hair and cheek.
Eh, i have friend going to Japan next month, do you need any help in buying certain figures/stuff? Who knows my friend can help. I’m going to ask her to buy some stuffs in Animate too.
She’s a friend working at publishing company (translating-publishing Japanese manga to Indo ver)
kekeke is she the one who said she wanted to draw a butt on the face? XD I absolutely love the chubby cheeks… so cuuuute. The first character Hatsune Miku in the nendroid vocaloid series is also very cute too but I shall resist…. resist… resist…
Ooo… wow that’ll be nice… wah~ is she going for vacation? can I ride 1 or 2 items on your animate shopping list? When would be she exactly? :O Can email me? XD Thanks!
Not vacation but work-related vacation. LOL
Dunno the exact time, all i can tell you now is early next month.
(actually she’s hubby’s friend rather than mine) she done similar shopping last year too
as long the item is not too big, then probably okay, coz i think she use economy class so only 20 kgs max.
Nope, different friend. this friend doesn’t like anime/manga but occasionally buy some figurines if it’s cute enough
Ooo I see… also not bad mah. I wouldn’t mind either. Okie, thank you in advance first hehe I’ll email you about it later. XD
Answer me one thing plz, is it Ren or Len?! I’ve seen the name Len everywhere but that name doesn’t make any sense, because Ren is a male name and Len is a girl name
I think it should be レン (Re~n) according to the characters but… it seems that most sites (including many online hobby shops_ romanize it as “Len” perhaps due to the way the Japanese pronounce R which always sounds very much like L. ^^; Oh well. I’ll stick to Ren. I popped by your blog, lovely pics you’ve got there.
