Wcloudx (kumo)'s Blog – Ramblings about Figures, Gunpla, & More!!

Alright~ Next is the review of this super cute figure of “Nendoroid Akihime Sumomo” by Good Smile Company ^^

Released on May 15th, 2008, this Nendoroid figure can only be obtained by getting the bundled limited version of the Nintendo DS game of Nanatsuiro Drops.

Anyway a little bit of info on the character, to clarify~

Akihime Sumomo is the main heroine from the Visual Novel game Nanatsuiro Drops released back in 2006. The game was later adapted into an Anime series under the same name in 2007 ^^ For those of you who’s thinking that the character illustrations looks familiar is because the character designer is Noizi Ito, the same person who creates Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and Shakugan no Shana series ^^

As for the Nintendo DS version of the game, it’s solely based on the Anime series. I can’ find the OP from the game, but you can view the OP & ED of the Anime below ^^

Back to topic~

As mentioned before, the figure is bundled with the Limited Edition of the Nintendo DS game, and the best thing is that the figure is not the only items you will get ^^ There are more bonus items that comes together with it, including a Calendar, Post Cards, Stickers, a Pin Badge, a second game cover depicting the original illustrations, and also 2 small posters featuring both the Anime version and Game version of Sumomo ^^

Just like any other Nendoroid releases, althought not that many, the figure comes with extra accessories in which you can play and switch around.

In Sumomo’s case you get an extra pair of hands, an extra face, a “Nendoroid” pillow, and lastly Masahiro in his Lamb form ^^

Well what can I say, this probably one of the cutest Nendoroid GSC ever released. Love her exppression…can’t resist!!~XD The “Nendoroid” pillow is also a nice addition to the set. Sumomo is part of Nendoroid Plus series. To tell the truth, I can’t really tell the difference between Plus and Normal version. Usually Plus is either more expensive or usually a limited edition stuffs. Quality wise not much difference though.

Anyway let’s get on with the shots~^^
