Hmm… is that the prototype I think it is…?
Uchitarou-san from Phat! Company!!
Uchitarou-san recently moved seats and is now sitting much closer to me!! I’ve been waiting for this prototype to come back into the offices for ages so I could play around with her! 。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。
But I know that many of the Strike Witches fans out there have been waiting even longer! Today I’ll be taking a look at this much awaited Nendoroid…!
From Strike Witches 2:
Nendoroid Yoshika Miyafuji: Shinden Ver.!
|
From ‘Strike Witches 2’ comes a new Nendoroid of the highly requested Yoshika Miyafuji, using the new Nendoroid specifications from #300! She is the same cute Yoshika as before, but the overall Nendoroid design and coloring of her guns have been reworked.
Her Striker Unit is the new ‘Shinden’ unit that featured in the later episodes of the series as well as in the movie and Sakamoto’s Zero-Type 22 Combat Aircraft unit. The propellers can be swapped out with the previous version for even more play value, and of course her dog ears and tail are included as before! |
An improved rerelease of Miyafuji!
Loads of fans have been asking for a rerelease of Nendoroids like Zetsubou-sensei and Miyafuji – so many in fact that it was worth releasing slightly updated versions so fans can enjoy the upgraded quality of newer Nendoroids!
The overall sculpting is the same as the previous version, but there have been a few adjustments to the coloring as well as some additional optional parts to play with! The quality and volume have both increased! (`･ω･´)
This is how she looks from the back!
This version makes use of a slightly darker color on the blue areas on her outfit, increasing the overall contrast a little. The stronger contrast suits the chibi Nendoroid design really well!
Additionally, the stand has been changed into the arm-type Nendoroid stand, meaning that flying poses will be much easier than before! The horizontal flight adapter part will also be included as before, so you don’t miss out on anything from the original version! Σ(゜∀゜ )
The Zero-Type 22 Combat Aircraft Strike Unit!
This is Miyafuji using Sakamoto’s Strike Unit as she did in the series! The propellers can even spin around! Having this part might even convince people who got the original version to pick up this one up too! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ
As before, the dog ears and tail are included too!
There are alternate front hair parts included for use with the dog ears, and the tail is a little bit brighter compared to the previous version. Phat! Company really puts so much detail into the tail! It’s lovely!! （*´∀｀*）
Her new ‘Shinden’ striker unit!
Not only does she come with the Sakamoto strike unit, but also the new ‘Shinden’ unit from Strike Witches 2!
Each side has six propeller blades making for a lovely addition!
An angry expression, gun and effect parts!
An extra new part included with this version is effect parts to display the propellers spinning around! The photo above is the 6-blade Shinden unit, but there is one with three blades included for the other unit!
Here are some of the new or altered parts!
The gun has more of a metal color to give it a more realistic appearance. Another change is of course that Miyafuji’s head joints have been changed into the new Nendoroid format! If you missed out on getting her the first time, don’t miss this chance! (`･ω･´)
Saluting with bent right arm parts!
Making use of the special bent arm and hand parts you can recreate this adorable pose! Her hat is also completely removable!
Another thing that I love about the Nendoroid is that she comes with open and clenched versions of both her left and right hands. Just changing the hand type can sometimes make a very different pose!
From Strike Witches 2:
