Nendoroid Playsets

I was lucky enough to score the B set of the Japanese Life Nendoroid playset sealed from Mandarake and it arrived in the mail today so I immediately had to snap a few photographs. These playsets have become somewhat rare these days, they only pop up on Mandarake or AmiAmi's pre-owned section from time to time so I feel quite lucky to have picked this up. I also have the Culture Festival A set on the way. Hopefully I'll be able to complete both sets at some point in the future.

The Nendoroid playlets are the perfect companions for your happy little Nendoroids and they seem to come to life when placed into the tiny diorama-like scene. Each set comes with a bunch of accessories and extra hands for your Nendoroids to be able to hold onto said accessories. The Nendoroid playset boxes are the same size as a normal Nendoroid box which means the sets need to be assembled. The walls are held together with small plastic connectors and are very easy to assemble. The Japanese Life B is styled after a traditional Japanese room, the set comes with tatami flooring, a wall with a wall scroll and shelving and the final wall is almost completely taken up by a sliding door. The accessories include a metal basin, pot, katana with a display stand, floor pillow, teapot, teacup with saucer and a plate of dango. The set is sturdy, well designed and highly detailed. It photographs very well, which is exactly what I wanted it for.

Despite the fact that I haven't got a full set yet, I think it's safe to say that these sets are awesome and well worth hunting for. If you can find one for a decent price, then I think you should definitely go for it. They are a lot of fun and look great displayed as well. Everything is scaled perfectly for Nendoroids and every little detail is just right. The height of the room looks like it might even work well for Figmas as well.
