The Tales franchise gets its own Nendoroid Petit setThe Tales series has inspired a lot of fans over its span of nearly 20 years of JRPG releases. Of course, we tend to focus on the more recent stuff, as does Good Smile Company. The popular purveyor of characters turned into cute chibis is now getting ready to release the popular franchise characters into a new line of blind-boxed Nendoroid Petits. The set of figures will cover the 3 most recent games, Tales of Vesperia, Graces, and Xillia. There are a total of 6 characters to collect in the set, which will feature Yuri Lowell, Estelle, Asbel Lhant, Sophia, Jude Mathis, and Millia Maxwell. The collection is certainly adorable, and even though I haven't played a single Tales game, I know that its fans and fans of all things cute will want to snatch these up. You won't have to wait too long to get your orders in. The major retailers will have this up for pre-order tomorrow (read late tonight), where a box of 8 will run you 4,000 yen. You'll at least be guaranteed to get the full set and have some extras for friends, so not too bad a deal for the price. If anything, this is just the thing to tide you over until Tales of Xillia 2 comes out in November. [Images via Mikatan] Did you know?
