Culture Japan's Mirai Suenaga Nendoroid by Good Smile Co

Here's a look at the packaging for the newly released MIRAI SUENAGA NENDOROID from Danny Choo's 'Culture Japan' produced by Good Smile Co. With a SRP of 4000Yen (US$45-) seems she was released at his weekend "Thailand Game Show" and folks there had first crack at obtaining them! *JEALOUS*

"Mirai Suenaga, the mascot character from the Culture Japan TV show and main character of the original story 'Mirai Millennium' is joining the Nendoroid series! Her standard expression is based on Nao Shirahane's illustration of Mirai, but she also comes two different smiling expressions based on illustrations from the Moekana cards illustrated by Ikkyuu.

A variety of extras are also included to display together with Mirai, including a Japanese flag, Nendoroid-sized Moekana card, Mirai-chan's sidekick Retrokyu and even a miniature itasha featuring Tasuku Iizuki's illustration of Mirai on the bonnet.

A miniature pack of the original 50 Moekana cards plus six brand new cards are also included, so you can continue to improve your hiragana as well!"

I've been pretty keen in getting this since my earlier post - not just because it is kawaii, but because it also represents a source of "aspiration", from a blogger who had his character created and made into animation and subsequently unto a production toy - a dream I would have, for myself.
