Theme

The theme for this photocon is Spreading Nendo-love to everyone! What does it mean? Well, we give you the freedom to interpret the meaning. Generally speaking though, the phrase means something like the following:

  • We have to love each other.
  • Love is one of the most important thing in life.
  • I think Nendoroid is lovely; do you think so too?

Well, if you have another interpretation, feel free to express it through your photo. Make sure that your photo could deliver the meaning clearly. ^^
