Hi!! I’m new to nendoroid and IM SO IN LOVE WITH THEM THEYRE SO GOOD!!! But I am so confused!! I can’t figure out what website gives me the COMPLETE list of all their products and accessories. And I’m not sure what’s the best site to buy them if you live in Europe. I’ve been doing a lot of research and I’m so confused T-T can you help a new fan? Thanks ^_^
Hi! thank you so much for your message and welcome to the Nendoroid craze! I'm definitely not an expert on Nendoroids, but i'll try my best to help!
- For a complete list of all nendoroids, i would simply recommend the Good Smile Company website right here ! their released nendoroids can be sorted either by release date or by number. The thing about nendoroids is, they're only available for (pre)order for a limited time; which means that to buy them, you have to either pre-order it directly from GSC, or buy ulteriorly from a reseller. Figures currently available for pre-order can be visualised on the GSC online shop right here.
If you click on the pic of a nendoroid you're interested on the main gsc page, it'll direct you to the page dedicated to that specific nendoroid with, usually, pictures and description which includes a list of accessories/faceplates the figure comes with. For older nendos, watching unboxing videos can also be useful to really get a look into what really comes in the box.
Now, bear in mind that there are MANY many Nendoroid lines! You've got your usual nendoroids, the Nendoroid Petites (tiny nendos), Nendoroid Jumbos (huge nendos), additional sets and accessories with the Nendoroid More and Nendoroid Plus lines, figures made especially for clothes swapping and dress-up with the Nendoroid Co-de line, and the latest addition being the Nendoroid Dolls! So there's really a lot to play with and try out!
- For your second question about where to buy them in Europe: i'll be perfectly honest, it's only been 2 years since i moved to Europe (France specifically) and I haven't purchased a figure since.... So I really have no reliable recommendations as to which website to use. I know GSC regularly sets up panels where you can buy their figures in conventions, as well as pop-up stores occasionally. They'll even sell exclusive figures during said conventions! I'd rather not recommend a website since I haven't used any and I don't know what they're worth, sorry :/ But maybe my followers can help!
I hope this reply can help you in having a great Nendoroid collecting experience!
