I have only few words to describe this figure in a flash.
Super freakin adorable :3

Made by Kotobukiya, this 17 cms bundle of cuteness will make your heart melt, with the adorable pose, the cute uniform, her long platinum blond hair and big dazzling blue eyes.

Noumi comes with several extra parts aside from the basic beret and cape wich can be castoff, such as an extra beret whit dog ears, a dog tail and an extra ribbon to attach on her uniform should you decide to remove her cape.

I love the hair, its a very beautifull platinum color and very detailed, the long white cape is full of bends embracing Noumi's form, the uniform as some wrinkling and the beret whit the huge button is adorable. Lets not forget her signature bat pin in her hair and Noumi's face sports her usual cheerfullness in her innocent looking azure blue eyes.

If you never got this as part of your collection........then i pity you!!! D:

Release Date: May 2010 4th release
Price: 3500 yens
Size: 10cm
Rating: 9/10


This figure being on its 4th release due to plentifull demand, is simply adorable.
Megurine Luka is one of the mascot characters of the singing synthetiser Vocaloid, whose voice samples where taken from none other then Yuu Asakawa (Motoko Aoyama, Sakaki-san, Rider). Luka herself has been given the image of an elegant diva and serves as an older sister for the younger vocaloids.

This nendoroid incarnation is really cute and while chibied no details from the original artwork were forgoten, especially the unique unattached sleeve wich is very often drawn as a pair in fanarts. Included are 3 faces, one being a representation of the face she makes in the popular video double lariat, the standard neutral face and a singing face. Also included is a small Tako-Luka figure, whose face can be swaped with those of existing nendoroid petits.
