Every month there are so many figures released by various different companies! Whenever I see a character I like, I can hardly ever hold myself back from preordering! How many figures that cost over ¥1000 do you buy in a month?

Optional parts included with Nendoroids - including swappable expressions, weapons, props, alternate outfits or even parts to let them sit down are almost always included!

The GSC team is always working hard to come up with a good balance of parts that fans will enjoy - but obviously the amount of parts influences the costs of production, and therefore the price of the Nendoroid too. It's a tough choice for the team to make sometimes! How do you prefer your Nendoroids?

The first in the Wizarding World Nendoroid series is none other than Nendoroid Harry Potter! He comes with a variety of optional parts as well as his trusty owl, Hedwig!

There are also more characters on the way, which you can find out more about over on the official site below!

What are your favorite genres when watching movies? Personally I'm a fan of sci-fi action films with epic heroes! It's always so satisfying to reach an end where the bad guy gets defeated by the hero!!
