Nendoroid ArcBishop Update~!
As the titles says - an update on the previously announced item... the Nendoroid ArcBishop (from Ragnarok Online) by no other than our beloved GSC! A little background info: Ragnarok online is an MMORPG or [M]ulti [M]assive [O]nline [R]ole [P]laying [G]ame. Here in the Philippines, Ragnarok Online is one of the most strong and stable online games in existence, if not the best itself. It had been released 8-9 years ago as the very first MMORPG in the Philippines... and I was probably in 1st Grade back then, running on DialUp Internet Connections which are unbelievably slow compared to broadbands we run on now. Well, without further delays, here are some photos presented by Mikatan!

First off is ArcBishop in her raw glory. Equipped with this staff which I don't recall the name of... though perhaps if it was blue, I'd think it looks like Staff of Piercing. Again, a background info: Staff of Piercing is one of the most effective weapons which a magic-type character can handle. With x10 upgrades (which is nearly impossible to achieve) and the right cards (you input cards into equipments to improve their stats), it tends to be the most powerful offense weapon.

That ribbon is epic cute! A bit more of background info about the game itself: unlike the 3D games we know today - boasting off their awesome graphics and such, Ragnarok Online sprites/avatars are on pixel-2D with only 8 sides visible which are BodyProfile Forward, Back, Left, Right, 45 Degrees North East, North West, South East, and South West facing. I'd provide Screenshots if I could, but I'm far too lazy. Gomen~!
But do feel free to ask for screenshots if you want to see what the game is like. I'd be more happy to provide them if there is need. ^___^

Unlike other games, characters don't have customizable armors and such. The only thing which would set individuality for your character is the hat its wearing! Which in this case is a Balloon-Berret with Flowers. According to GSC, this hat was released along side the new jobs which includes the ArcBishop.
Background info: Ragnarok Online has a branch of Job upgrades. Every player starts out as a Novice, and at lvl 10, they get to upgrade their class. In this case: [1st Class] Acolyte, [2nd class] Priest or Monk, [2-2 Class] High Priest or Champion, [3rd Class] ArcBishop or Shura.

An additional accessory as expected from our beloved GSC! This hat is a mixture of the Maid HairBand which is a very hard hat to craft, and a Hearts Pin... very cute!

Luckily, GSC also took the pleasure to add in not only an attacking/casting arm, but also a flowing variation of the skirt!

And probably my favorite accessory (call me shallow), I really love that they included the sitting position!

And of course, what's "Ragnarok Online" without a Poring?! Background info: The Poring is the lvl 1 monster of Ragnarok Online... and for some reason, it had ideally already been the "logo" or trademark of the game... Here in the Philippines, whenever you see a picture of a poring or whatnot, the first thing to come into mind is "Ah! Ragnarok Online!"
I played the game for quite a while when I was really young... And surprisingly, 8-9 years after, the game's still going strong! I'm not a player anymore, but I guess for memory's sake - this Nendo is an *INSTANT GET!* for me! If my translator serves me right, more infos are to be released tomorrow.










Love it. :3
Especially the poring... xDDD
I wonder if they are also release other jobs in the future...
(trans cls pls x<)
Oh how I'd love to see a High Wiz! XD Plus, considering that they released 3rd Class, I don't think they'd step back and release a TransJob. But I'd really really love to see a High Wizard and a Gypsy!
Female HW? Yeah. *-*
HW, Gypsy, HP, Clown and I'll be REALLY happy. xD
Too bad that there are no good Ragnarok figures on the market so far. Q.Q
Only those stupid trading figures and 2-3 korean (?) models with tiny heads. XD"
YEAH! I was a female HW before I quit! Dayumn, we're kicking arse in WoE! Haha! Spammin Storm Gust on the portal to protect our castle. XD Sigh.... good times. XD
There are figures with badly poor quality. XD There are the semi-chibi trading figure ones with over 15 characters, and there are normal-proportion ones at around 6 inches each. Unfortunately, there are in aweful quality. XD

This one?
The quality is really bad and I don't like the porportions... X.x
Yeap! That's the one at around 6 inches. I believe there are three... this - the Crusader, there's a Sage, and I don't recall the other one.
soooo adorable
Indeed! I think even a non-player would wanna buy her for her cuteness!
Zomg I played the class! Must get that >.<!
Haha! I've been wanting to try this class because some of my friends told me that compared to HighPriest, ArcBishops are now good-enough in offense type!
Which server? ^^
I played on EuRo Loki (Odin) before. Unfortunately the server closes in a few weeks, so there will never be the 3rd cls implemented... X.x
Now I'll try my luck on FRO even if they are episodes back and without speaking a word french. xDDD
I do believe I was on Fenrir here in the Philippines Server. But now I play on a Private server. So I don't anymore play it to gain levels, I play it to pwn in PvP and WoE! XD
Definitely getting this one too :3 2 or 3 perhaps
Played RO Philippines back when they was still no crusaders and stuff.
PS: Didn't know your from the Philippines too xD
I'd like to get 2 once I get an idea regarding what I should do with the second one. XD I'm not the type to get more than 1 figure, the reason being "one kept for storage." I find it mean to imprison them little critters inside their boxes! XD Perhaps a custom-color or such.
Yeap! I'm from the Philippines! ^___^ Being a student makes this hobby hard, specifically cause of funding. I'm limited at 3-4 figures per month since I only get funds through my daily allowance. XD Plus, "summer jobs and part-time jobs for those below the working age" isn't really available here in our country. Haha!
Nice photos. Seems like a really cute Nendoroid. The Porings look just like Slimes
I think that's the concept... little slime monsters for the beginners! XD
Yeap! Cute indeed!
Totally want peco peco or a sin cross.
=W=
Definite get, hope it is not an exclusive.
When it comes to supporting character outfit, I prefer female High Priest :D
I hope Female High Priest will available as Nendoroid too :p
Melting hand. Cool.
This character is second on my wanted list from wonder festival 2010 ,even more so after viewing above pics .I especially like the flowing skirt and hope the pre-order is soon.
Amiami already has her up for pre-orders btw.
