New Arrival: Nendoroid Kuroneko

Wasn't too sure about what to do for a top picture for this one.  I still don't have any Gothic architecture, so I had to make do with the next closest thing I had: SPACE MARINES!
Though, not really sure what I'm doing with that text there.

Nendoroid KURONEKO, from that series with a name that is shortened down to "OreImo", which I picked up back at Otakon.


I've still only watched the first three episodes of OreImo before aborting, but I've always like Kuroneko's character design.  In fact, the whole series is kinda interesting to observe from a figure-collecting stand point.  A lot of the figures made for the series so far seem just plain fun, especially the Figmas and Nendoroids.  I could easily see getting the three Figmas and being able to have a grand old ball with them alone.

So for some reason I decided to get the Nendoroid Kuroneko instead of the Figma, which has far more accessories...sadly, it released a day or two before Otakon started.  If I had seen the Figma there, I probably would have gotten it instead.

But still, I think the Nendoroid will be pretty fun.

Box is unusually pastel.  I guess that's more of a thing with the overall series, rather than trying to make it themed to the character.

Accessories and stuff.  Fairly typical for a Nendoroid, I guess!  But no chair or tea set or bag like the Figma.  Her default face is a pretty blank expression, which actually seems a bit nice to have compared to the usual Nendoroid Default Smile face almost every damn Nendoroid has.

Kuroneko's second face seems to be a sort of "ha ha what a loser" type of face.  An optional left arm allows her to point at things, and she's got a right arm to put a hand to her hip for maximum point-at-you-and-laugh action!

She also comes with two arms that have an extra cut joint at the elbows, allowing you to get a good amount of posability out of them.  Here, she is also holding her Blu-ray case to extoll the virtues of the under-lying lesbian themes of the anime.  Or something.

They give you a few different stickers to customize the Blu-ray case with.  I went with the Black Rock Shooter one since it'll have the greatest future application.  It's nice of them to do that, but honestly I wish they'd just include two more little tabs of plastic so I can just have all three without having to try and hunt down my own scraps of plastic or whatever.  They don't even give you anything to put the doujin stickers (or whatever they are) on!  Maybe I can find some plastic of the same thickness at a craft store or something.

The cutest accessories are her cat bits, since Kuroneko and all.  She's even got a pair of hands for cat-paw gestures!

However, the ears are actually a second headband, which slots into the front hair piece.  Since it's like that, you can't use the ears on other Nendoroids.

Hard to see, but.  Kuroneko's tail goes on by replacing a ribbon bow she has on the back, under the hair.  Like the headband, there's simply two copies of the bow, one with the tail and one without.

She also has a pair of bent legs, which I suppose are for the cat posing.  Never really liked alternate legs on Nendoroids, since they often barely can do anything with the stands.
But, I did find a good terrible interesting use for them...

Final face is some kind of smug/DEAL WITH IT face, with which the posable arms and flat hands work pretty well with.

However, I can't help but interpret the face as a kind of "Ahhhhnnn~" face.  The kind of face Kuroneko might make when she was doing things like, say, enjoying her porn.

Or perhaps having an orgasm.  See how I put the bent legs to use?

And now I've taken a picture of a tentacle monster raping a Nendoroid.  I live a rich and fulfilling life.
