This week, photos of the upcoming Nanoha Nendoroid were posted on Mikatan’s blog.

Those of you not familiar with anime figures might be wondering what a nendoroid is. Nendoroids are basically what you see above, small figures that are a few inches high and have extremely large heads relative to the body. I guess you could also say that nendoroids are the chibi versions of anime figures. Unlike most figures though, nendoroids give you the ability to change their poses with jointed arms and legs, and interchangeable faces.

This particular nendoroid of Nanoha Takamachi is due to be released in February 2010, one month after the Nanoha movie comes out. Personally, I think this is one of the more adorable nendoroids coming out soon and I just love the fact that they’re including her weapon with the figure. Of course, fans of Nanoha may want to get the other Nanoha nendoroid that’s coming out:

This nendoroid is only being made available when you purchase a ticket to the Nanoha Movie which is coming out in Japan in January 2010. It’s quite a bit smaller than other nendoroids, but equally adorable; certainly a must-have for any Nanoha fan (though you would have to get to Japan somehow to get yor hands on one).
