K-ON! fans have just suffered yet another blow to their wealth with the release of a chibi Ritsu Tainaka in Nendoroid format.
The figure is the standard Good Smile super deformed rendition of perhaps the least popular member of the K-ON! cast, though it is doubtless still an essential purchase for those fantasing about their own chibi keionbu…

lol kawaii chibi figures
Nendoroids are pretty cute figurines. Would want some. :V
God, if only they offered these with happy meals.
you said it.
1 Nendoroid costs around the total price of 10~12 happy meals...
I have a Suzumiya Haruhi Nendoroid. Looks just like this one quality-wise. But it didn't cost me 10~12 Happy Meals... More like 2 actually (€6 = $8.88)
Maybe it's an imitation... but I don't care it's fine.
After looking at it more carefully, it's not as detailed as this one and there is no musical instrument... :P Plus I have only one possible hair and face. That must explain the price difference. (this one costs $44.90 = 30.53 EUR on play-asia)
Fake :3
@Floflo
I don't really see a need for a 'Maybe' in your last sentence...
I mean, comeon... A Nend which costs 20% of the original price?
possible xD very possible . here we have these special gachapon machines from japan that have good quality fugurines for RM8~12 (RM4 per token) thats about 1 USD = RM3.15 ? and they are original as far as i can tell from the quality and the companies address is there
yup. that's one thing abt malaysia that i actually like.
why MacDonalds isnt much into anime? By giving away such figures along with happy meals, sales would rise and people would be happier
so true, you said it.
Nendoroids in Happy Meals? I'd go to McD all the time...
SanCon should have a contest!
A contest!
Free Nendoroids/Figmas/Figures/Posters/etc as prizes!
Who's with me?
That's a good idea. The only problem here is money.
I smell conspiracy...
There is another problem. All sancon user are spread all over the world. Posting the prizes would be costly unless, Artefact wouldn't mind spending his money. heheh..
nendroid isnt very appealing
Whoa! The quality is very good!
WOOT! Ritsu!
Now where is Mugi?
Coming soon, I'm sure.
Wonder if she'll have a head where her eyebrows are HYOOJ?
Hmm.. let us guess.
-Blushing Mugi vision face part
-Episode 13 starry eyed face part
- ^_^ face part
-Her KORG keyboard
-Her mini tea set
-Double braids hair part
-Detachable radish eyebrows..
what? least popular? tell that to mugi, Ritsu is awesome, next to Mio.
Seconded.
my thoughts exactly
I'd guess based on the amount of fanart and people declaring her their waifu.
Also, Ritsu doesn't have a major grab-point like the others. She doesn't have Yui's very strange variety of ditziness, or Mio's moe moe kyu~n, or Mugi's unflappable cheeriness (and yuri fascination), or Azunyan's blistering levels of cuteness. She's just sort of a toned-down Tomo to Mio's Yomi.
I don't dislike her, but I can see how she could be ranked low jailbait on the moepole.
Ritsu is like a less jerkbag version of Haruhi, sans the super powers.
My order:
Yui
Ritsu
Mugi
Asuza
Mio
Nendoroids...I'll just get the figmas.
I'd stick those figures up my anus.
can't wait for mugi's
Nice Ritsu
Asuza. Now.
I spot a typo 'Febuary 2009'.
Otherwise do want.
Damn i need job
Its " ... Febuary 2009 ...."? Smells like something wrong. Shouldn't it be FebRuary 2010 :P xD
Least popular? Where did you get this?
Probably just from the numbers of fan-art and people declaring her their waifu.
She's also the one with the least number of traits to make her stand out... she doesn't have Mio's moe moe kyu~n, or Yui's strange dumbness, or Mugi's eyebrows and yuri fascination, or Azunyan's blistering cuteness. She's not even particularly genki for a genki girl... she's just sort of a slightly smarter, slightly toned-down Tomo to Mio's Yomi.
Which isn't to say I don't like her, I can just see how she'd be the bottom of the totem pole in popularity.
She has the best forehead ever. And she's definitely genki-kei, what doubt is there?
AZUSA AND MUGI-CHAN WHERE?
Will be adding this into my collection & this will only leave out Mugi & Azu-nyan to perfect the K-On! series !
Would've wanted a Ui & Nodoka nendoroid too. :3
Fuck yeah Basarida, episode 13 hair part is also available!! :3
God, anime figures are soooo lame, but Ritsu is so fucking adorable. Shiiiiit
"Nendoroid Tainaka Ritsu is due for release in Febuary 2009, with international pre-orders available now."
Feb 2009? Wait, what?
That made me double check the date of the article, seems like a typo...
Headbandless Ritsu!!! Even in the anime that style of hers struck my heart. XD
This. If she looked like that it would have been moe overload (even more than already!). Wait... moe genki girl?
daaaaamn you!!!
just pre ordered, along with the plushie and Mobip Action Figure XD
<3 Ritsu
Wow, you ordered the Mobip too? Tbh, while Mobip did a decent job on the Little Busters and Miyafuji models, I personally found the K-on Mobips are badly designed... I rather wait for the figma release.
i'll buy both, i'm hardcore!
You have my applause :3
Poor Ritsu. It's not really her fault that other girls are more popular than her, but this doesn't mean she's hated at all. Far from it, she is the crucial factor for Mio's moe-appeal, without her, Mio is just another Moe blob. So Mio fans are thankful for Ricchan.
Yui>Ritsu>Mio>Mugi
I prefer bandai's trading figs over this. cheaper, more choices, and most of all because they actually have a nice mugi.
then again the possibility of me getting exactly the one i want is quite low as they come in jumbled up sets...
Mugi! gimme Mugi! (but Ritsu without her hairband is full of win, lol)
You can have her with her bangs down too! Do want!
Are there really going to be K-on! Figmas? Because the Mobip figures have bad faces.
And Ritsu with bangs!
The mobip figures seem good but if you compare there faces to the nendoroids or the alter ones there faces do seem kinda off, also if someone wanted just the Ritsu mobip they will only get a piece of the drums and the only way to get the whole thing is to get the other three girls as well. A figma on the other hand would probably include the whole drums with her and at a good price to.
This Ritsu nendoroid is pure win!
I'm very picky when it comes to hair so when I see ritsu's huge forehead and held back bangs i'm completely turned off but with her bangs down I love it. How can bangs make such a difference?!
I totally agree... hairbandless Ritsu FTW!!!
Bump on head is awesome!
My next objective in figures is completing the whole band (cliche, I know).
One of the best nendoroids IMO.
Dem bangs!
Tsumugi pleeeeease!
Riichan let her hair down~! Do want do want~!
really nice quality figure, K-On characters so suite a kawaii chibi style ^^ Still... Not sure if i want...
if she's the least fav. how come she's the third? :p
ONE MORE HORSEMAN AND THE APOCALYPSE WILL BE COMPLETEAZ
ZOMG LOvE lETTER RITSU I BIT MY HAND JUST TO MAKE SURE IT WASN"T A DREAM
Ritsu with her hair down is surprisingly cute~
DO WANT! :'D
No double bass pedal lol
Where's Tsumugi? She's so under-appreciated.
Ritsu rules!!!
-instantly goes to store-
forehead girl rules all
