Keripo's Corner Figures, Dollfies, Projects, Gaming, and TYPE-MOON
This one really doesn’t have a story behind it… I saw, I bought, I conqueuered (yay for Mandarake). I’ve been trying to collect every single Neco-Arc figure and this is the second last item before completion (the last illusive item would be the Neco-Arc Chaos counterpart). This figma/action figure is part of Good Smile Company’s rare line of Nendoroid Plus. In this case, it is a huge Neco-Arc made out of wood and with limited mobility. I’m not familiar with the background of when/how this was released, but I do know that it’s quite rare and limited ;3
And so, here’s a pictoral review of this oversized Nendoroid. With the help of a smaller Neco-Arc! Enjoy!
Hail TYPE-MOON!

The Box
Tada!
Official TYPE-MOON seal
Pretty simple yet sturdy cardboard box
Neco-Arc excited to see a fellow NEKO spirit
Some quality family bonding time
The box’s size didn’t lie
Oops, didn’t see you there…
It’s all good!
The biggest Neco-Arc with the smallest Neco-Arc
The Nendoroid Plus as seen from the back
The head and arms could rotate 360 degrees
The feet could also rotate 360 degrees
The head could not tilt up/down, only rotate
Since all joints were centred and the head had a fixed backwards tilt, the figure had zero centre of balance… the only way to keep it free-standing would be to rotate the tail downwards and use it to prevent the figure from falling backwards.
This backwards lean does make it look like it wants a hug though I guess… (though remember, it’s made of hard wood, not plastic even…)
Bought from Mandarake, this was second hand, so there’s a few paint transfers here and there… should be removable with an eraser though
The well defined ears made me happy… most of the times neko-ears are just sculpted flat and coloured in, but this one explicitly stuck out. Want to squeeze ;3 (except it’s made of wood, QQ)
Neco-Arcs unite! Citizens of the Great Cat’s Village, big and small ^_^
