Other Important Notes
Please be sure to read the following precautions before using this service.
About Products
Original Face
- Depending on the design of your Nendoroid, the created face may not fit properly when replaced.
- UV inkjet printers cure and fix ink by exposing it to UV light (ultraviolet rays), which may cause slight unevenness on the printed surface.
- The color tone displayed on the face creation screen may differ slightly from the actual printed product. In particular, light-colored parts such as cheeks may appear lighter when printed.
- For darker skin tones such as “Cinnamon,” white ink bleeding or slight misalignment may be more noticeable.
- When reordering, the color tone may differ slightly from the original.
- Due to the nature of PVC material, recessed areas may become slightly tighter. In such cases, gently warming the part with a hair dryer (on medium heat) may make attachment easier.
- Products available in limited quantities will end once sold out.
- Faces that use limited-time parts or skin tones cannot be ordered after the distribution period has ended.
- For set products, the type, quantity, skin tone, and face parts cannot be changed.
Collaboration Face
- Nendoroid Face Maker does not sell the Nendoroid bodies themselves.
- Collaboration faces are exclusive to the Nendoroid Face Maker and will no longer be available after each collaboration ends.
- Please note that collaboration faces may differ slightly from standard Nendoroid face plates (for example, the mouth area is printed flat without any sculpted details).
- Collaboration faces sold as sets cannot be customized.
- The “Racing Miku: 2025 Ver.” collaboration faces use Racing Miku’s exclusive skin tone and are printed on the “nosed” type face plates.
- The “Hatsune Miku: 100th Adventure Ver.” collaboration faces use Hatsune Miku’s exclusive skin tone and are printed on the “nosed” type face plates.
- The “Zundamon” collaboration faces use Zundamon’s exclusive skin tone and are printed on the “non-nosed” type face parts
Nendoroid Hoodie
- The Nendoroid Hoodie can only be attached to Nendoroids that can be separated into upper and lower body parts.
- Depending on the design of your Nendoroid, the hoodie may not fit properly when replaced.
- UV inkjet printers cure and fix ink by exposing it to UV light (ultraviolet rays), which may cause slight unevenness on the printed surface.
- When reordering, the color tone may differ slightly from the original.
- Due to the nature of PVC material, recessed areas may become slightly tighter. In such cases, gently warming the part with a hair dryer (on medium heat) may make attachment easier.
- As this is a limited-quantity item, sales will end once stock runs out. We appreciate your understanding.
