It seems like they probably had their <em>Persona 4</em> Nendoroid and <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/winter-wonder-festival-2012-persona-4-figmas" target="_blank">figma lines</a> done for a while, but saved the big reveal for the event–while on one hand it’s great that fans are getting so much merchandise, the sudden rush is starting to feel a bit like overkill. Probably because there’s so little variety–Yukiko has tons of outfits, yet every single one to come out so far is in the winter school uniform. Hopefully <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/wave-announces-beach-queens-from-fatestay-night-persona-4-guilty-crown" target="_blank">the Beach Queen</a> won’t be wearing that as well!</p> <p>Complaints aside, this Nendo is looking great. Yukiko comes with the expressions you’d expect: a stoic face, a slightly smiling face, and a laughing-so-hard-she-might-explode face. She also comes with a pair of Teddie’s joke glasses, regular glasses, and a fan. This is pretty much everything you’d think she would come with, though I am a little disappointed she doesn’t have a bowl of instant udon–fried tofu flavor, of course! However, this is easily fixed with some ReMent. Yukiko will be going up for order on the 21st! I’m really hoping that we get more MegaTen Nendoroids, but for now <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/pvc-pre-order-roundup-311315" target="_blank">Jack Frost</a> and Yukiko should be enough to tide over fans.</p> <p>[via <a href="http://gscmikatan.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/nendoroid-yukiko-amagi/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://gscmikatan.wordpress.com']);" target="_blank">Mikatan</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/NendoroidYukikoHeader.jpg "Nendoroid Yukiko Summons Her True Self")
