nature
Nendoroid figures are usually replicas of an anime or manga character and are commonly used as collectibles or toys. They are approximately 10 cm (4 inches) tall, depending on the character's appearance. Usually they are depicted as chibi, or deformed, with a large head and small body. Their faces and body parts are posable and interchangeable, so they can adopt a number of different expressions and postures.
Nendoroid characters are mainly based on anime and manga series such as Squid Girl , Kannagi , Lucky Star , Death Note , K-On! , Haruhi Suzumiya , Fate / stay night , Black Rock Shooter, AnoHana - The flower we saw that day as well as the characters from the synthesizer software Vocaloid along with games like the Touhou project. Nendoroid figures are rarely based on a real person, as in the case of Formula One driver Kamui Kobayashi or the American rock band Linkin Park .
