Tag: Figure, To Heart 2 Another Days, Nanako, Nekomimi
The final day of year 2008 brings chou-moe Nanako -NEKOMIMI SUKUMIZU- of To Heart 2 Another Days!!! This HUGE 1/5 scaled figure was quite an impulse purchase, I never thought that Nanako would come into my possession although she did make it to my wishlist a few months ago. She was acquired when I was collecting my Nendoroid Playsets A & B at XL-Shop just today.

Note: Sukumizu means "School Swimsuit".

Nanako was retailed at 9,800 yen (excluding shipping) so I thought the shop manager gave me a good price at MYR328 (~USD94) despite the Yen has gone up significantly. I would've paid MYR400 (~USD115) or more should I pre-ordered her online.

I couldn't find my DSLR so I grabbed my sister's compact camera, Lumix FX10 and took some photos of Nanako for this blog entry. As shown below, the 1/5 scaled Nanako is almost as large as a 1/4 scaled Suzumiya Haruhi Bunny Girl and her head has similar size to that of a Nendoroid. If you are not a lolicon nor a To Heart fan, I'd say that the 1/5 scale is primarily Nanako's selling point :D~~~

@ Jus a loser,
Not a "To Heart 2" fan at all but somehow got hooked to Nanako :p Yeah, I'm still waiting for my Unity Yuno to arrive, ordered her from Play-Asia. I hope she won't get into any trouble at local customs as she's R18.

I realized that before posting, did take a close look at Nanako's box and it's written clearly "SUKUMIZU".

Looks like an awesomely huge figure. And judging from the background, you're a fan of those ^_^;;

Happy New Year, looks like you started yours with a good one!

@ Acesan,
Nanako should be my favourite figure of the year. Extremely happy with the purchase! Oh, the bed and pillow came altogether in the box :)

@ ron~,
Eh?! Go for Nanako! She is an easy recommendation.

@ Fariz Asuka,
The first, second and up-close shots were taken using Lumix FX10 and the results turned out surprisingly good.

Understood. I think my mom will go crazy too if I place Nanako beside my bed (she looks really good there though).

HAPPY NEW YEAR MINNA!
