Here's the result from my photo shoot form last Sunday. It features my 2 latest nendoroids (Nagato Yuki and Pastel Ink) and another nendoroid which I hadn't photographed yet (Asahina Mikuru) and the ones I already had (Suzumiya Haruhi and Hatsune Miku). I shot these pictures with my new camera, a Canon EOS 450D (my first DSLR, you can read more about that in a previous post). I always try to funny stuff and make a little bit of story out of my photo shoots with figures. And as nendoroid are very good for that because they are somewhat poseable and have several extra parts and faces to use. But of course, figmas are even better for that, but I haven't got any of those.

Here's a group pic before we begin:

Seems like I got my Hatsune Miku nendoroid early :D It wasn't supposed to be available until the end of the month at the shop I pre-ordered it. So I was quite happy ;p It came in the same sized box as my other Nendoroid (Haruhi) and this one has number 33 on it. It has again 3 removable faces to use (one smiling, one laughing and one sad/confused face), this time it also has another front hairpiece. Next to that: another hand to hold the leek, one bent arm, one bent leg, removable head phones. And you can even remove her skirt ^^; (you can remove the legs and then remove the skirt ;p). And the big pony tails can be removed too (they are quite loose, so you have to be careful when posing). The plastic pedestal to hold her is actually quite high, she floats about 1.5 cm above the ground. Probably because of the long hair, but when I put Miku's head on the Haruhi body, the pig tails didn't really touch ground because of the pedestal. She looks bigger now, standing next to Haruhi ^^;

And now for some pictures:
