Nendoroids; Any collectors? Help?

Is this a Nendoroid?

I fell in love with this little cutie in the picture ... I even am trying to draw her because I love the costume ... I may be cursing you later (jk lol) but if these are Collectibles and not too expensive, I may be having a new addiction! I can't believe I knew nothing of these!!!

Yep, that's a Nendoroid! You need to be careful of bootlegs, though. I shop at Amazon and only buy mine if they're sold with Prime. I used to buy them off of eBay, but almost every Nendoroid there is sure to be a bootleg. It depends on which one you get really on Amazon, some are cheap, some are way too expensive. This one, Kurumi Tokisaki, is really expensive on Amazon. If I had to suggest a place to buy them, I'd say AmiAmi or the official Good Smile website.

Oh, thanks a lot! ... In searching around, I did find one on EBay for 20 bucks from China ... Probably a bootleg then, right? The one on Amazon was over $100 ... Yikes!!
I'll check out the Good Smile website and Ami Ami (which I'd never heard of) ... Thanks again

Here's a couple you might like.

However, these tend to be pretty pricey because of the fact you can switch out their parts. Good Smile has actually made a line of Nendoroids called Nendoroid Co-de, which don't come with extra parts. Here's a couple:

These average from 15-30 dollars. Definitely easier on the wallet.

Absolutely. I if they're that cheap and from China, they will ALWAYS be bootlegs. Some people say bootlegs aren't that bad, but it really can be. Parts fall out, some parts are missing, sloppy painting, terrible smell and sometimes even DANGEROUS sculpts. I had a bootleg whose hair sculpt was so poorly done, I accidentally pricked myself on it and my finger bled. Yikes.

Ooooo! Not good! I agree ... It could be dangerous due to the lack of quality control in their exports! If I'm going to collect something, I want original and quality ... The little Nendoroid Co-de figurines are adorable ... I can see myself getting really hooked on these!
I will definitely check them out
Bad, RibbonFinale! Bad! The Pen runs to begin checking the Good Smile site and her new obsession

Heh heh, I love getting people obsessed with my obsession. Oh yeah, and you know the second image I showed you? Those are from the Love Live Training Outfit line of Nendoroids. The particular one I showed you costs 27 dollars, sold from Prime on Amazon. The whole line of these ones tend to be pretty cheap, with each around 30 some dollars. For a full fledged Nendoroid, that's not bad.

That one is indeed sweet and a good price! *sigh* ... I love all the costume details in these little gems!
The boots, buttons and bows and ruffles! Too adorable!!!

My thoughts exactly! There's over 600 of them currently, so to anyone trying to collect them all.. good luck.

It's more of a last resort thing, but tbh I have had good luck with ebay myself.

Though I also impose certain restrictions as well to mitigate the chances of getting scammed.

Oh, good to know ... Have you dealt with any sellers from China?

never

one of the restrictions is a near complete barring on any non-JP Asian sellers

this COULD be lifted if there's enough info for me to believe the seller's item is legit, but I've yet to have this happen

i'm not collecting them by any means, but i have three of the haikyuu!! nendoroids: hinata, kageyama, and oikawa. i know there have been at least 3 more since, but i literally refuse to buy them because i have no money. they're super cute though! i got two of them from otaku mode and one from amazon

 

[himeki]

Same omg. It'll probably be a while since we haven't even seen the prototype yet (hopefully soon! Wonder Festival is this month!) I'm also crazy hyped for the Meta Knight Nendoroid. He'll match the Kirby Nendoroid and will be a great addition to anyone who wants to make a Super Smash Bros. themed scene.

When i was like 10 i used to buy bootlegs but now i dont lol
