Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

‘Kirin’ means ‘giraffe’ in Japanese! I quite like giraffes! Although I think elephants… no wait… tortoises would have to be my best!! Either way, today we’re going to be taking a look at another Monster Hunter Nendoroid!

Nendoroid Hunter: Female – Kirin Edition! ♪

From the Nintendo 3DS exclusive game ‘Monster Hunter 4’ comes a Nendoroid of a female hunter wearing the Kirin equipment made from the ‘Phantom Brute’, Kirin! The armor set is easily one of the most popular in the series, and now it’s joining the Nendoroid series in cute chibi size!

Two weapons are included with the Nendoroid allowing you to switch between equipment – she comes with both the ‘Kirin Bolts’ dual swords as well as the ‘Dragon Bow Solar’ bow. A demonic face and effect parts can also be used together with the dual swords to pose her in demon form slashing away at her enemies, and a Felyne comrade is also included wearing Kirin equipment! Display them with the other Nendoroids in the series to truly bring out the Monster Hunter universe!

S-She’s rather sexy!! ♥♡♥

The Kirin armor is lucky enough to work under the law of reverse female armor – the more revealing it is the better defense it provides! ★

The front flap looks like it’s ready to flip up with the slightest breeze… in fact if you look close enough you’ll notice it’s already showing a little slight glimpse of what’s underneath…!

This is how she looks from the back! ♪

Even the pouch on her back has been faithfully included on the Nendoroid version! The same goes for her earring on the left ear! ♪

Lovely! （*´ω｀*） Simply lovely!! （*´∀｀*）

As with the other Monster Hunter Nendoroids she is also fully articulated allowing for cute poses like this one! The cute is only magnified by the adorable moe fang!! Beautiful!! ♥

Once again the main Nendoroid is not the only thing for fans to fall in love with… a Felyne comrade is included too! ♪

The Felyne comrade is also wearing Kirin equipment! (｀・ω・´)

… and also looks adorable from the back! （*´▽｀*）

Here I’ve posed the hunter silently approaching from the back…

(・∀・) “It really isn’t easy to get the Kirin equipment!!”

We’re joined by GSC’s resident Monster Hunter, Chanshuu-senpai!

(・∀・) “You need to go through all sorts of things to make it.. but it’s all worth it in the end!”

R-right…! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

(・∀・；) “Obviously not just for the looks! The defense is also good…!”

Right…

Anyway, the previous Monster Hunter Nendoroid Hunter: Female – Lagombi Edition included amazing weapons! Does the same go for today’s Nendoroid?

(・∀・) “Once again two complete weapons are included… first up we have the ‘Kirin Bolts'”

Ooh! The combination of the dual swords and Felyne Comrade looks great! ♡

(・∀・) “Together with them comes a demon face, perfect to display her fighting off the monsters with her dual swords!”

Oooh! This expression completely changes the atmosphere around her!! Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟﾉ)

(・∀・) “She’s not only cute and sexy! She can be a ferocious hunter too!”

It’s great to see that you’ve looked at all aspects of the character while planning the Nendoroid. I also have to add that the gradient on the swords looks amazing! ♪

(・∀・) “Ah. Right! We tried our best to bring out the epic colors!”

(・∀・) “There is actually one more part part included to make her demon form even more dramatic!”

Ooh! Effect parts for attacking with her swords! (｀・ω・´)

The part is a transparent plastic sheet that connects onto a special stand! It’s a little hard to see the gradient with this background, so let’s elsewhere!

There we go!!

That reminds me… the Lagombi Edition included a bottle of Demondrug… does the Kirin edition have one too?

(・∀・) “The Kirin edition includes ‘Dash Juice’ instead! You can of course swap the parts between them if you want!”

*Posed drinking the Dash Juice*
