Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I recently discovered that my birth date is just one day apart from the real person behind today’s Nendoroid! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid May’n! ♡

The 4th Nendoroid based on a popular music artist! I can’t wait to see the real May’n on stage again! Before we take a look at the Nendoroid itself… I first want to take a look at the packaging!

The overall design is much more stylish compared to most Nendoroids… definitely nicely suited to May’n! ☆

The different pattern on the sides makes it rather cute! ♥
Plus the inner cardboard is a photo mosaic from May’n’s past live concerts!

The brighter photos even spell out ‘May’n’! Seeing these kind of mosaics always makes me want to take a nice close look at each of the photos! ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

But for now, let me focus on the Nendoroid itself! Her microphone is included to pose her singing! ♫

The microphone is a ‘Skull Mike’ which May’n is well known for using! (ﾉ｀・∀・)ﾉ

You can obviously attach and remove the mike whenever you like, or even make her hold it upside down like so!

Easily pose May’n performing live for her audience… or just for you! ♡ A small towel is also included, allowing you to display her whirling it through the air!

Usually at concerts it’s the fans that wave the towel around, but May’n enjoys taking part in the fun too! Just look at that smile! ヽ(ｏ´∀｀ｏ)ﾉ

Even the logo on the towel has been faithfully recreated!

Speaking of faithful… the Nendoroid’s hairstyle looks lovely!
It captures May’n’s characteristic hair beautifully!

Even the lighter streaks of hair have been included! (｀・ω・´)

Oh yes! Her hat is also completely removable, and can even be angled in different ways for interesting poses! ♫

Here I’ve posed it at a downward angle covering up her eyes… it adds an extra touch of cool to her appearance! It’s amazing how much the feeling of a figure can change with just a slight switch of parts, or simply moving a hat like this!

As some of you may have already noticed, she also comes with two different expressions to enjoy! ♡

(・∀・) “May’n certainly is amazing during her concerts, but the figure allows for a different side of May’n too!”

We’re joined by Nendoroid May’n’s planner, Kyojin!

(・∀・) “May’n loves taiyaki so much that she named herself the ‘Goodwill Ambassador for Taiyaki’… so we just had to include some taiyaki parts!”

Ooh! （*´▽｀*） I love little parts like this! ♡

Somehow she seems to have a much cuter personality while holding onto the taiyaki…! (*´Д`)♥

< Nendoroid May’n offering me a taiyaki >

< …I would never say no! Nomnom!! >

(・∀・) “Her outfit is carefully detailed, with close attention given to the short pants and accessories. Take a nice close look!”

May’n’s unique style and personality are packed into cute Nendoroid size!

(・∀・) “Not only did we have the honor of making her Nendoroid, she also performed live for us at WonFes!”

Even with the terrible weather, she warmed everything up with an amazing performance for everyone! (*´∀｀*)
I kind of forgot I was supposed to be working and danced around with everyone else…

(・∀・) “I know how you feel! I was holding back the urge to run out and join all the fans… But anyway, back to the Nendoroid! Nendoroid May’n is currently on sale at all the official locations of the current ‘dots and lines’ tour!

More details: May’n Official Site

Once you’ve enjoyed yourself at the concert, grab a May’n to take home too!

Nendoroid May’n!

She is on sale at all concert locations for the May’n Road to 10th Anniversary Japan & World Tour 2014-2015: ‘dots and lines’. (｀・ω・´)

You can find the concert locations here: http://mayn.jp/dotsandlines/

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I was always bad with the electric saw in arts and craft classes making each and everyone of them a huge struggle for no real reason… the way something so thin could cut through wood so easily was always kind of scary! (´=ω=｀)

But anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Black Gold Saw: TV ANIMATION Ver.

It’s been about two years since the series aired on noitaminA, but finally we have the fifth character join the Nendoroid series!

Black Gold Saw has always been the more relaxed of the characters, and that composed look transfers into Nendoroid form beautifully! ♡

Of course her giant weapon ‘King Saw’ is included too, and it looks rather frightening, even in Nendoroid size! (｀・ω・´)

The little ornaments all over her outfit have been painted and sculpted with such intricacy! She also comes with a combat expression, perfect for displaying together with the King Saw! ♡

The teeth sticking out the side of her mouth add both a cute aspect and gives her a look that is ready for combat!

Just like the OVA version of Gold Saw, she also features joints in her knees for extra little changes when striking a pose! Those smaller changes are really what make for the most personalized displays! ε=(｡・д・｡)

I absolutely love this silent, menacing look she has while holding the King Saw… as if ready to strike at any point! (/ω＼)

(・∀・) “There is still a lot more to her though!”

Today we’re joined by the head planner of this Nendoroid, Otanaka!

(・∀・) “This time she even comes with her watering can!”

Oooh! I remember this!! ( ﾟдﾟ)!

(・∀・) “I’m sure you do! It was used in the series to increase the number of incomplete girls in the Hollow World!”

It also has a similar appearance to the King Saw, which helps bring the whole figure together nicely! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

(・∀・) “But that’s not all… if the watering can is included, then these also just had to be included!”

Ooh! The Incomplete Girls are also included?!

(・∀・) “Yep! we decided to include two of them too! The expressions are even slightly different!”

I-It’s true!! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

** Size comparison with wooser **

(・∀・) “The heads are even turnable, allowing for slightly different renditions!”

By the way… a strange pedestal has been featuring in the last few photos…? Could it be what I think it is?

(・∀・) “That’s a special stand included with her! It’s based on the elevated areas in the series!”

So that means an extra stand is included too! (ﾉ｀・∀・)ﾉ
Definitely a suitable stand for the BRS universe too!♡

(・∀・) “I recommend displaying her with the other characters from the series to bring out the universe even more!”

Add her to your collection and sink into the BRS world!

Nendoroid Black Gold Saw: TV ANIMATION Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow, the 27th February! (｀・ω・´)

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Not only am I completely unable to swim… I also am terrible at fishing! I once went fishing for rainbow trout and ended up going home without even a nibble… even though I was fishing in a fish tank!! Water-related sports are definitely not for me…

But anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a figure that went up for preorder a little while back…

Nendoroid Sasara! ♡

\ Fantasista Doll / \ Hey! / \ Hey! /

The second Nendoroid from Fantasista Doll following on from the previously announced Nendoroid Uzume Uno! Her pony-tail also articulated at a very high point allowing for all sorts of poses!

Her adorable outfit is sculpted in amazing detail! It has a bit of a regal look to it, and the ribbon and stars all over the design make for a lovely and original design! （*´▽｀*）

Her fencing sword is also included to pose her ready for combat! The little peek of skin between her skirt and shorts is also lovely! ( -ﾉｪ-)

Her expressions include the smiling face above… as well as this cute frowning expression!

She looks so sincere! The upturned eyebrows make it perfect! (｀・ω・´)

(・∀・) “This expression is perfect for a very special pose!”

We’re joined by Sasara’s planner, Otanaka-shi!

(・∀・) “This pose!”

Ooh! I recognise this! ( ﾟдﾟ)

(・∀・) “Yep! Special sitting parts are included to recreates the scene where Uzume scolds her and the others! You could also see it as a sulking pose!”

She’s even barefoot! ♪ A perfect rendition! ♡

She also looks great displayed with Uzume!

(・∀・) “If you’re going to pose them together, I recommend the winking expression!”

Oooh!!! （*´▽｀*）! She’s adorable!!

(・∀・) “She’s adorable alone… but even more adorbale with Uzume by her side, which allows you to recreate the ending theme pose! I wanted to show everyone, but Uzume’s expression parts are currently off in China!!”

Ah! You just gave away why I displayed her with only her back showing in the last photo! ^^;

Anyway – at least there is a release photo featuring the pose, which should still give everyone a good idea!

The ending theme in Nendoroid size!! っ( ；∀；)

(・∀・) “Posing her together with Uzume definitely allows for a lot more scenes from the show! It really brings out the Fantasista Doll atmosphere!”

Become a master yourself with Sasara by your side!
Or alternatively display her with her real master, Uzume!

Nendoroid Sasara!

She’s available for preorder now! ♡

Orders from the Good Smile Online Shop will continue until the 19th March at 12:00JST : http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/gscnenwd00397.html

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Ever since the Olympics started it’s become a daily routine for me to watch the relays when I get home… Japan may be cold and snowy at the moment, but the Winter Olympics sure to look chilly too! (＝◇＝;)

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Alisa Illinichina Amiella!

She’s finally ready to go up for order! (*´▽｀*）

The most central member of the ‘Cradle’ branch, the beautiful Alisa! Her characteristic red hat, chequered mini-skirt and all the smaller details of her outfit all look great!

The Fenrir emblem on her back is also faithfully shrunk down to Nendoroid size!

Her hair is sculpted with a slight curl to the left giving it a slightly dynamic feeling based on the official character art! (σ・∀・)σ

But the most important thing I want to push about this figure is her amazing ‘God Arc’ weapon… which comes in three different forms!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them! ♪

• Blade Form

You can see the weapon has the same amazing presence that it had in the games…! Even in chibi-size it still has a heavy look about it that makes it such an original weapon! (｀･ω･´)ゞ

Looking from above you get an better feel for the size! ☆

You can also see that the detail isn’t only focused on the front – it’s just as detailed and amazing no matter what angle you look from! Plus it comes with effect parts perfect for combat scenes! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Here she is posed with the effect parts as well as her ‘combat’ expression… ready to combat Aragami big and small!

She even comes with an Orgetail Aragami to fight against! (o・ω・o)

I think I’d rather keep one as a pet instead of fighting it…!

In order to match with the Nendoroid design the Ogretail’s face has a bit of a comical feel about it! I’m told that the production team really struggled to get a good balance between ‘cute’ and ‘scary’, but I think he came out looking great!

But let’s get back to the adorable Alisa! She looks ready for anything! ♡

• Gun Form

The second form is also sculpted down to the finest of details! The shiny, mecha-like appearance also looks amazing! (・∀・)

Once again effect parts are also included to pose her using the weapon! ♡

Why is it that makes girls with guns so charming?! She looks fantastic! (/ω＼)

I said the Blade Form had an amazing presence, but the Gun Form certainly isn’t any less noticeable! However… the biggest is still to come! (｀・ω・´)

• Predator Form

It’s huge!! It’s so huge that it’s hard to see as a Nendoroid weapon! (ﾟＡﾟ;)
Placing just the weapon on my hand for comparison!

It’s about the same size as my hand…!

It’s even big enough to eat wooser!!

Once again you can pose her with the weapon and Ogretail to create a fighting scene from the game! ♡

It’s hard to believe that all three of these amazing weapons are included! What an amazing set!! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

The team must have put so much time and resources into this one Nendoroid…!

(・∀・) “But the weapons aren’t the only thing we focused on!”

We’re joined by the head planner, Otanaka-shi!

(・∀・) “We definitely did put a lot of work into the God Arc weapons… but these is another feature we made sure came out perfectly… a feature that Alisa is fairly famous for!”

Ah! I know! Her flat chest!!

(・∀・) “You hardly even notice it when she has the huge weapons out… but when you take a closer look…”

Alisa is definitely rather popular for the the little peek of chest from the opening in her shirt… even if there isn’t much to see! The way her skirt is curling upward slightly brings out Alisa’s sexy side a little more! (/ω・＼) *peek*

(・∀・) “We know Alisa is well known as a confident God Eater… but she also comes with this expression to capture her other side!”

Awww!!! She’s adorable!! （*´▽｀*）

(・∀・) “A blushing expression made to look like she’s trying to hide her embarrassment! It really gives a completely different feeling when compared to the other two expressions!”

I don’t know how much more I can take!(*´Д｀)=з

You can even display her like this – with her embarrassed expression and hand out, as if inviting you to come with her! ♥

(・∀・) “You really get such a large set of options to display her with – pick whichever side of Alisa you enjoyed the most!”

Packed with weapons, an Aragami and a delicious flat chest…! ♡

Nendoroid Alisa Illinichina Amiella!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow, the 20th February!
Be sure to check the GSC site for more details tomorrow! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Anyway, I hope to see you all again tomorrow!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I tried building an igloo with all the snow over the weekend, but eventually gave up. Firstly because they were sold out of snow shovels at my local hardware store, and secondly because I was all alone in the endeavour… 🙁

The snow may have come to an end, but the floor is still slippery with snow and ice, so everyone take care!! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a Nendoroid with a smile that will blow away the cold any day!

Nendoroid Saki Miyanaga! ♡

I’ve been waiting for her for ages!! ♪♪

The cute Mahjong player is heading to the Nationals to prove her skills… but she’s also headed to the land of the Nendoroids to prove her cuteness!! Saki Miyanaga! ♪

Officially this Nendoroid comes from ‘Saki: Zengokuhen’, but don’t forget that Nendoroid Nodoka Haramura was previously released from ‘Saki Achiga-hen episode of Side-A’ – so she is actually the second in the series of Nendoroids!
ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Finally the main character of the series has joined the Nendoroids!

Holding onto her Mahjong tile and ready for action! ☆

Obviously she doesn’t just come with a tile though… in fact she comes with a rather impressive optional part!

A mahjong table! ♡

Originally the plan was to make it a lot smaller than this… but GSC’s resident mahjong lover decided that “If we’re going to make it then we may as well make it big!”. So we ended up making a chair as well, as well as adding some rather impressive details on the board too!

Plus she even comes with some effect parts for double the fun!

These parts allow you to pose Saki playing her best moves!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Anyway, let’s move on by taking a look at her expression parts! Along with the lovely smile above she also comes with this expression even seen in the first episode of the new season! ♡

That innocent expression ready to burst into tears makes me want to protect her!! I’ll keep her company no matter where she goes to ensure she never gets lost again… I’ll even accompany her to the toilet!!

By the way, this expression can also be used in various other ways!

wooser: “Would you like to play some…. strip mahjong?”
Saki:”…!!”

I’m sure there are many other situations you could think of to use it with too!

Additionally, she also comes with an awakened expression, showing her focused and ready to beat anyone in her next match! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

(・∀・) “Her awakening can be made even more epic by the addition of these effect parts!”

We’re joined today by the planner for Nendoroid Saki… Kyojin!

(・∀・) “These lightning effect parts connect to her front hair parts and stay in place very securely!!”

This expression plus the effect parts suddenly give Saki-chan a very intimidating air! She looks ready to take over the mahjong world!!

(・∀・) “There is one other extra she comes with… you may have noticed that her skirt here is rather long…”

… I think I know where this is going! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ

(・∀・) “She also comes with a mini-shirt to switch between!”

…!?

Is she not… wearing any…?

(・∀・) “I’m not at liberty to say anything about that! You’ll have to wait and see what is underneath when you pick her up for yourself!”

Now that I think about it, I guess Nodoka’s was about the same length…

(・∀・) “Speaking of Nodoka-chan… Saki comes with special parts to pose the two together!”

Ah… this is the famous scene from the series!! (´；ω；｀)

(・∀・) “Seen they were both released as Nendoroids now, we had to make a special arm part to allow them to be posed making a pinky promise!”

This means I just have to display them together with each other!

A Nendoroid allowing for all sorts of scenes from the show, great compatibility with Nodoka and loads of lovely optional parts…

Nendoroid Saki Miyanaga!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 18th February! ♡

Plus Nendoroid Nodoka Haramura will also be rereleased to go together with Saki! You can find the details about this over on the GSC home page tomorrow!!
