Nendoroid Dreams

With the recent release of the Claire Nendoroid, the natural question I've seen asked on social media and in our own Discord is what could we get next? Granted, usually only really big series get multiple Nendoroids, but it's nice to dream... So, let's get dreamin'!

The Bare Minimum: Pete

Honestly, if any other Story of Seasons figures are going to happen, it'd feel wild to me if Goodsmile didn't make Pete. Claire going first makes sense, the most popular figures tend to be the girls, but, well, I'll let Pete himself say it:

So, while trying to imagine what he'd come with, we'll use Claire as a basis: Two animals, a crop, and a tool. Since Claire came with the watering can, I feel like the obvious choice for Pete is the hoe. They're the two most essential tools for a farmer, since you can't till soil without one, and you can't water crops without the other. The most iconic animals Claire didn't bring are also easily the dog and horse, which most players are likely to get even if they never set foot in their barn. All that's left after that is the crop. My first idea was probably the carrot, since it'd fit well with the horse and could easily have the same gimmick as Claire's turnip by letting you plant it in the ground, but the power berry is a tempting option too.

My Ideal: Pete + Candidate Pair

The most important aspect of the series outside the farm is the townsfolk, and the most important townsfolk are the marriage candidates, so it'd be nice to get at least one pair of them. Getting four Story of Seasons Nendoroids sounds impossible, but, let's have fun trying to imagine how they'd do it anyway.

It feels like the "safest" way to look at it is from a marketing perspective: Who, in such a large series, would most easily get fans to open their wallets? The cast of FoMT/64 are still easily the most iconic, and we already have Claire, but are the FoMT designs iconic? That seems like probably the most important question. Largely because, at least in my observations, Gray is far and away the favorite among the male candidates in Europe, US, Japan, China, and Indonesia, with Cliff trailing somewhere behind him. The girls are a much closer race, but if the pairing is with Gray, we basically only have two options here:

With Gray as the constant, the remaining question to answer ends up being between Popuri or Marie depending entirely on Gray's design. Personally, I find it a really hard choice to make. The 64 designs are more iconic, but Claire already being sold as a Friends of Mineral Town character kind of sets a precedent if they're aiming to make a set. There's always the possibility of 64 getting a remake, or perhaps celebrating its 25th anniversary though...

There's also accessories to consider, with both possible sets feeling pretty different. 64's version of Gray is a rancher, so he could do with more animal stuff while FoMT's could deal with more mine related items, and both 64 Popuri and FoMT Marie have a lot of association with plants, so maybe they could have non-crop plants like herbs and flowers. Items from their heart events would be a good idea, too... Regardless, someone needs to have the Blue Feather. If I had to rank the most iconic items in the series, it'd easily be at the very top, so it's wild to me that Claire didn't come with it in the first place.

Endless Possibilities

I kind of intentionally narrowed the scope for the sake of making the article not go on forever, but there's honestly a ton of routes they could go if we do actually get more figures though. I know tons of folks would go crazy for A Wonderful Life characters, and even just sticking with protagonists from past and future games could reasonably cover all the possibilities for animals, tools, and lots of crops.

Currently it looks like the Claire figure sold out on Goodsmile US's store, so hopefully that's a good sign that she was decently popular. Goodsmile Japan lists her as "few left in stock," so she seemed to sell decently well over there too. If you want more Story of Seasons figures enough to read this whole dang thing, be sure to let them know by using the request form too! We made a guide on it a while ago:

im really so obsessed with all of it. the new effect over the old artwork is so pretty. i can't wait to stalk mercari in the spring.

tumblr ate my post, but unfortunately ornaments aren't going to arrive before christmas.

There may be a few people who could upgrade their shipping (we can talk about it on a case-by-case basis to see if it would be worth paying for!) but the majority estimate arrival after christmas

I'm glad I made sure the processing time showed there would be no guarantee, but I'm very sad it happened this way. The shop I'm partnering with is having massive tech issues (much of them due to inexperience with file handling and illustrator), and there's nothing I can do. I started the ornaments project in october, but apparently you need more time than that when working with physical objects!

Every year I get more ambitious, and make the project bigger and better. And I will start way earlier to make sure everyone gets their prizes by November.

Next year, I hope to run an indiegogo campaign in the summer, with prize tiers that will add fun new add-ons like a mini storybook about rudolph meeting the reindeer team, a making-of book (since I have been documenting this project since the first doodles in 2021, and posting them on my art discord) and more. Here's some Ideas for unlockable stretch goals:

Mini illustrated storybook that fits in the ornament box.

Zine-sized Making-Of booklet with drawings, photos, and design notes

Small name tags and instructions for how to play "the reindeer game" where you match names to the designs before flipping them over to see if you are right.

Acrylic charm keychains

Standees so they can be set up and played with like toys

Things you will be able to get for a pledge (not fully in order)

full-resolution digital images of all the deer so you can admire the details

PDFs of storybook and making-of booklet

A single sticker from my extras as a thank you

A nice set of reindeer days stickers

A nice set of reindeer days ornaments

A unique, custom drawing of your favorite deer

Customized message on the back of the sleigh ornament so you can wish someone special a merry christmas

Keychains, standees, etc

A reindeer designed for you, either a cool new one or an existing OC reindified (limited slots)

Merch of that reindeer

And I'll probably think of more by the time I launch.

Any suggestions and things you would want to see?

Thank you everyone for your patience and support. I'm having a fantastic time, despite the delays, and it just makes me want to keep creating and keep reaching for the sky

EGGHEAD KUJI PRIZES REVEALED

It's scheduled to be released on 2 August! Cheers! Review below! A pretty good kuji, they went all out on the prizes.

Starting with the last prize (why?), we have Luffy and Vegapunk as a figurine duo!

Prizes [A] to [D] are Luffy (by himself), Zoro, Bonney and Lucci respectively! Lots of [approx 17cm] figurines this round!

Prize [E] is a super cute Chopper plushie! The visor changes his expression when viewed from a different angle!

[F] prize is a multi-layered acrylic stand off the 🥚 Straw Hats!

[G] prize are choosable mini Seraphim figurines. I'm a little annoyed at how S-Snake turned out; why does her skin color have to be different from the boys?

[H] prize are acrylic standees of our six Vegapunks!

Egghead themed towels for our [I] prize~ From Vegapunk(s) to Zoro & Luffy's "You don't seem to like that!" scene!

[J] prize are rubber coasters of the Strawhats + Vegapunk & Bonney!

And lastly, our [K] prizes are the file & sticker combo!

Rating... I'll give it a 8/10 because of how fun and good all the prizes are, but docking points because Toei's a whitewashing bitch. Seriously, S-Snake did not need a design change like that. It's not in the manga, and it doesn't need to be in the anime. I hope it'll get reverted to normal eventually...

Official Princess Tutu Main Gang Standees 🩰🦢

First of all, I LOVE these acrylic standees! Tutu and Kraehe are nice, but I’m kind of a sucker for just Duck and Rue being themselves. And of course, there’s never enough Fakir or Mytho rep in merch.

Secondly, we had a lot of fun with these. My partner unboxed them with me and we played with them like dolls and the storyline got very dramatic lmaooooo

Make Ptutu fashion dolls next!

[grumfield]

You look like you’d call me a slur and make fun of me for being a weeb 🥲 I mean this kindly

I get told this so often you have no fucking idea. One of my friends told me when we first met she tried hard to walk away as fast as she could from me bc I seemed like I was going to bully her but then I started talking to her unprompted about Dramatical Murder and she realized I was a loser. One time when I was in class in undergrad someone told me that I looked and dressed homophobic because I wore plain jeans and shirts. When I go to conventions I’ve had so many people ask me if I’m buying stuff at artist alley “for a friend” and be like “do you know what this is from” like yes I know what the man from this gay porn game is given me my acrylic standee. When I went to a bring me the horizon concert someone asked if I was there to “look after with my little sister” because I seemed “out of place”. The day I lost my virginity the girl I was with told me that she thought I was homophobic until I straight up told her I wanted to munch that kitty. I can’t escape
