Nier Automata A2 Short Hair Nendoroid Revealed

Another NieR figure appeared among the Good Smile Company WonHobby G Spring 2022 announcements. This time, it is a version of the NieR: Automata A2 Nendoroid with short hair. An painted prototype of her showed up.

Here's a closer look at how this version of A2 will look. It seems like she has the Beastlord large sword on her back.

This is the second version of the A2 Nendoroid. The first one appeared earlier in 2022. She has long hair, as you might imagine. While her shorts, shoes, and gloves look the same, she has a longer top.

She is also one of many Nendoroids based on characters from this game. For example, people can also get figures of 2B and 9S. Like the long hair A2 figure, those are both immediately available worldwide.

There's no release window for the short hair NieR: Automata A2 Nendoroid yet. However, people can find the long hair version of the figure now. NieR: Automata is available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Tsukihime Arcueid Nendoroid Prototype Appears

There's a new progress update on the Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon Arcueid Brunestud Nendoroid. As part of the WonHobby G Spring 2022 announcements, Good Smile Company offered a first look at the figure. As she's still in development, it is an unpainted prototype.

Since this is based on Arcueid's design in the remake, her appearance is slightly different. Her skirt is shorter than it was in the original Tsukihime. Her necklace also looks different.

As a reminder, Arcueid isn't the only Good Smile Company Tsukihime figure on the way. Back in February 2022, Akiha Tohno and Ciel Nendoroids were announced too. Both of their appearances will also be based on their Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon remake looks.

There's no release date for the Tsukihime Arcueid Nendoroid yet. The Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon remake is available on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in Japan. She also appears in Melty Blood: Type Lumina, which appears on the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC worldwide.

Ironmouse Nendoroid Will Join the Nyatasha Nyanners One

There won't be just one VShojo figure from Good Smile Company. Two showed up during the company's WonHobby G Spring 2022 announcements. First, the company shared a look at the painted prototype of the Nyatasha Nyanners Nendoroid. After that, it announced an Ironmouse Nendoroid is also in development.

First, here's how the Nyatasha Nyanners Nendoroid looks so far. Good Smile Company announced her back in December 2021. At the time, there was no concept art. But now we can see how her and her ghostly cat companion Goro will look.

After that, the Ironmouse Nendoroid announcement came up. Just like when the first VShojo figure was announced, Good Smile Company didn't have concept art yet. Instead, it shared rather standard art of the Vtuber.

There's no release date for either the Nyatasha Nyanners Nendoroid or Ironmouse one. However, as the former is currently in the painted prototype phase, she will appear first in stores.

Doki Doki Literature Club Nendoroid

Another Doki Doki Literature Club Nendoroid is in development, and this time it will be of Natsuki. Good Smile Company announced the figure at WonHobby G Spring 2022. There's no prototype for it yet. However, it did share concept art for the character.

Here's an idea of how Natsuki will look as a Nendoroid. She's wearing her typical school uniform.

This marks the second Doki Doki Literature Club character in the line. The first Nendoroid is of Monika. She's expected to appear in October 2022 in Japan and December 2022 in North America.

Only two heroines from the visual novel are left. The other members of the cast are Sayori and Yuri. It is unknown if they will eventually get Nendoroids too. However, Good Smile Company does sell plush dolls and other merchandise based on the game.

There's no release date for the Doki Doki Literature Club Natsuki Nendoroid yet. People can get the original Doki Doki Literature Club on PCs for free. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus is available on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC

Genshin Impact Zhongli and Raiden Shogun Nendoroid Announcements Appear

WonHobby G Spring 2022 announcements are coming out of Japan. As part of it, Good Smile Company revealed its next Nendoroid figures from Genshin Impact will be Raiden Shogun and Zhongli. There is no release window for them. Also, it is so early that there's also not concept art for either one.

First, Good Smile Company announced Raiden Shogun. Her art shows her as she's about to unleash her Elemental Burst.

After that, it showed that Zhongli would join the collection.

They will be the fourth and fifth Genshin Impact Nendoroids. The first two are the Traveler siblings Aether and Lumine. The duo are expected to ship in July 2022, though that release could be delayed due to the worldwide shipping situation. After that, a Venti Nendoroid appeared. It will appear later in 2022. In addition to that, a Mona figma is in the works.

There's no release date for either of these Genshin Impact figures yet. However, it is likely they won't appear until 2023, given there are no prototypes yet.

As spotted by PC Gamer, a dataminer on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit supposedly found information that points to the entire story.
