Nendoroid Comic 00 - "Pando-Rin's Box"

What is a Nendoroid, you ask? Well it is a 'chibified' or 'super deformed' figurine representation of a character from a Japanese anime. It can apply to non-Japanese anime characters as well, but predominantly it is done with the former. I guess we can call it a JDM bobble-head...without the head-bobble feature. Here's Wikipedia's take on it - Nendoroid Wiki.



Nendoroid Rin Kokonoe.


I am an avid anime fan since I was a kid. And I guess I can call myself a mild-otaku. Figure collection is one hobby I've also had since I was a kid and there's just something amazing in seeing 3d renditions of 2d characters. My Nendoroid collection just actually started (no Nendos back then), and to be honest at first I didn't like these short chibi character versions - I found them a bit odd and annoying...that is until I saw one in person and that changed my perspective on these figures. And as you will see in the pictures, 'cute' is definitely a Nendoroid's forte. ;-)

In any case, I'd like to present my very first 'Nendo-comic', entitled 'Pando-Rin's Box'. I used Manga Studio 4.0 Debut software (a nice software for manga/comic creation) to create the panels.
The stars of the show: Kureha (from Shining Tears X Wind), Miku Hatsune, Tsuruya-san, Nagi, and Rin Kokonoe.
