Kahotan Post Office: Winter 2015 Edition

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

When eating strawberry daifuku I love having strawberries on top as well as inside!  (๑´ڡ`๑)

Anyway, at the end of last year you may remember that I asked for photos for my 2014 Winter Twitter header! It’s a tad late, but I’m finally ready to announce my selected photo!!  (/ω＼)

Apologies for the wait!! Thanks once again to everyone who sent in photos!

I have previously already announced my chosen photo on Twitter, but for those of you who have not seen, it was NaoNakagawa‘s lovely snowy photo of Snow Mikus that has become by header photo!

* I edited the size for use in my Twitter header. 

Title:  ( ゜∀゜)o彡　Wedge Plow! Wedge Plow!

A Snow Miku family together with a wedge plow on the Sekihoku Main Line. I actually wanted a photo with the snow falling, but the snow ended before I got to taking photos!

Even so, I think I got a nice snowy, playful scene! d(^▽^o)♪

Hokkaido x Wedge Plow x Snow Miku! ♡♡

Not a scene you get to see very often, that’s for sure! It’s such a lovely combination! Thank you for sharing this rare and beautiful scene with me!!

There were however lots of other very lovely photos, which made it very difficult to decide on one!! Thank you to everyone who sent through a Winter photo!!

I’ll be taking a look at a few more of the lovely photos sent in! (●´ω｀●)

* Brightness in some photos have been slightly edited.

I wish I could enjoy some cake in the Winter sun with Mio-chan! That would be a rather luxurious tea time!!

The Santa outfits are so adorable!! I want to give them all sorts of presents!!

This photo was taken last year during the first heavy snow in Kantou in 16 years! The snow came well up to my knees, but I just had to go out and take some photos with Miku! I think this is one of the few photos I’ve taken that I think came out really nicely! Definitely one of my favorites!

– BLACK*ALICE

The snow falls gently to the ground with Miku smiling like an angel as she enjoys it!  The heavy snow last year was quite troublesome in some ways… but seeing photos like this makes me remember that it can also being about great memories! ♡

Mako-chan sees snow for the very first time at her hometown!

– Scher P.

Mako is definitely the type that would run around frolicking in the show! Guts as well! I can see a lot of love has gone into this with the scarf around her neck and little items all around the photo!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

There were many other wonderful photos as well! 

Thank you once again to everyone who sent in!! (´□｀｡)

Nendoroid Plus: Major League Baseball / HELLO KITTY

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve never been able to keep a game of catch going for more than a few throws… I’m just terrible when it comes to any ball games!

Today I’m going to be introducing everyone to…

Nendoroid Plus: Major League Baseball / HELLO KITTY☆

MLB / HELLO KITTY is joining the Nendoroid Family!

The popular ‘HELLO KITTY’ brand loved all around the world is joining the Nendoroid Family! The set contains ten different figures each wearing the uniform of MLB baseball teams and placed in dynamic poses you’re likely to see at a baseball match!

Each also comes with a special Nendoroid base which can be placed together to create a baseball field for them to play on – all the more reason to collect them all!

PLAY BALL!! ( ・ㅂ・)و 

These were sold at various baseball events and stores around November last year!

Unfortunately, they are not scheduled to be on sale overseas… but at the very least enjoy the cute photos! If you’re in Japan, sales at the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP have just opened up!

Each of the cute figures stand about 55mm in height!
They also have special stands to make a baseball ground! ♪


△ They’re so… relaxing to look at!!

Plus not only are they all in adorable baseball team poses… they’re also all wearing uniforms from Major League teams!!!  (σ・∀・)σ

 

 – St. Louis Cardinals – 

– Milwaukee Brewers – 
– Detroit Tigers – 
– Oakland Athletics –
– Los Angeles Dodgers –
– New York Mets –
– Boston Red Sox –

 

– New York Yankees –
– Seattle Mariners –
– San Francisco Giants –

Even though they are rather tiny, the smaller details such as the soles of their shoes and the marks of each team have been faithfully included! <○><○>

This is how they compare size-wise to a Nendoroid petite! ♪

If you combine all the bases, they come together to form this!

A complete baseball ground!

The stands are also the same size as a normal Nendoroid stand (60mm x 60mm) just with a special design, meaning you can use them for your other Nendoroids as well!

Add the cute Hello Kittys in baseball uniforms to your collection!

Nendoroid Plus: Major League Baseball / HELLO KITTY☆

They are limited in stock and unfortunately only available in Japan! (Sorry! 🙁 )

Shigure Kai Ni

“My contribution to this victory was trivial.
It was all thanks to the rain… and you, Admiral.”

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan) Today I’m going to be taking a look at the latest item to roll out from the GSC Naval Base!
 
Shigure Kai Ni! ♡ 

From the hugely popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the 2nd Shiratsuyu Class Destroyer, Shigure Kai Ni! The pose is based on the illustration used on Shigure’s card in Bushiroad’s card game, ‘Weiβ Schwarz’ – it features different ship parts to those seen in game with a confident and powerful looking pose that fans are sure to enjoy!

Additionally, Shigure Ni Kai comes with alternate parts that allow you to display her more true to the games illustration, with the larger ship parts attached to her back and smaller turrets on her arms – a rather large variation for a scale figure. The smaller turrets on the side of the larger parts that connect to her hands, as well as the torpedo launchers on her legs are all articulated, allowing you to place them at the angle that you think suits her best!

Oooooooooooohhhh!! (´□｀｡)

Her skirt and hair accessory almost actually seem to be moving in this dynamic pose! A figure that shows Shigure is ready for battle! The pose comes from a card in Bushiroad’s trading card game, ‘Weiβ Schwarz’! The illustration by Ichiso Kujou has been very carefully transformed into a figure while keeping as much of the original charm as faithfully as possible! ♪

The characteristic hair sticking out at the sides seen on the ‘Kai Ni’ version is also sculpted beautifully! (●´ω｀●) 

The original illustration only ever showed the front of Shigure, so the back of the figure thought up and sculpted without any specific source to work with!

This is quite a common occurrence with KanColle figures!

The original illustration is very carefully taken into consideration while the back is designed. The final design is of course checked with the publisher to ensure that nothing is out of place! The good thing is that there are lots of mecha fans at GSC, which makes coming up with how these ship parts are attached an easy task… plus they look great!

Moving on, let’s take a closer look at her ship parts! <○><○>

The huge short-barrelled cannons normally seen on her back are held out ready to fire…!

All of the details on the ship parts give a nice mechanical appearance, and the various layers give a nice 3D appearance to the design! ♪

△ Nope, you can’t see them!

The contrast between the mechanical design and the soft white skin of her thighs is just as amazing as ever! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

By the way, even the reverse side of the torpedo launchers on her legs have been faithfully sculpted into the design!  ★

But while everything I’ve shown looks great and is overflowing with a lovely dynamic feel… without a doubt the best thing about this figure to me… is that facial expression!

You can just feel her confidence and powerful will through those eyes!!

Tomboyish characters like Shigure are generally known for their bright, energetic side… but Shigure actually has a more reserved personality than most expect! She has a very cool and calm personality! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Just look into her eyes right now… they are clearly focused and attentive…but with a slight hint of nervousness as she aims her weapons! I really feel like I’m right in the battle beside her when I look at this face, it captures the battlefield all with one expression!

But there are also various other areas that shouldn’t be missed out on… for example the slight peek at the nape of her neck by her single braid, or the uniform-like outfit that shows off Shigure’s amazing curves… or those long legs extending out from the skirt wavering in the wind….

There are so many different details to enjoy!!

Be sure to add her to your own collection and enjoy her from all sorts of different angles!

The beautiful destroyer, ready for battle!

Shigure Kai Ni!

She’ll be up for preorder soon!!

Plus! She comes with some bonus parts! Bonus parts that allow another look at fans may be more familiar with!!

Here is a sneak peek for now!

…I’m sure all the admirals out there have already figured it out! (;・`д・́)
*Or… you know… just read the product description above…

I’ll be looking at the alternate parts on the blog at a later stage!!

figma Rin Shibuya: CINDERELLA PROJECT ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have completely memorized the lyrics to ‘Onegai! Cinderella’ now! Next I’m moving onto ‘Star!!’! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at Max Factory’s…

figma Rin Shibuya:
CINDERELLA PROJECT ver.!

From the anime series ‘IDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls’ comes a figma of Rin Shibuya!

· Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
· She comes with three expressions including an expressionless face, a singing face and an embarrassed face.
· Optional parts include her school bag, a smartphone with earphones attached and her beloved dog, Hanako.
· Special parts that allow you to display her with her hands in her pockets are also included.
· An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

Hyahoooooooooooi!! (*´Д｀)=з

The long-haired ‘cool beauty’ high-school idol Rin Shibuya is joining the figma series! ♡

Everything about the figma captures Rin beautifully! The necklace shown by her loose neck tie, her cardigan mini-skirt with beautiful long legs extending out from it…! Nnot to mention that perfect expression! ♥︎

One of the Winter Wonder Festival 2013 (Winter) exclusive items was figma Shibuya Rin, but the difference with this figma is that she is based on the designs from the IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls anime series, and not the game! There are many subtle difference and brush-ups from the previous version – the entire sculpt has also been redone from the ground up!

Let’s start with a look at her expressions! 

“I’m Rin Shibuya, 15 years old. I look forward to working with you.”

That mysterious, mature charm is wonderful!!

The expression is also rather different to the previous version of Rin! But there is much more to Rin then this!

She also comes with a singing expression!! (●´ω｀●)

The gap between this emotional singing face and the previous disinterested expression is amazing!

You can easily switch out to the idol side with a quick change of expressions! Just pick the look you prefer! But that’s not all…. her third expression is another leap of character!

An embarrassed expression!☆ 

An ever so slight blush with a downcast look! This will allow for all sorts of difference scenes!! While you can obviously enjoy recreating scenes from the show, this also opens up so many options for original situations! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Plus…

Look who is at her feet!!

Her beloved dog Hanako is included as an optional part!! ☆

The pose differs from the version included with figma Rin Shibuya!! (´□｀｡)

This time around she also comes with a lead, allowing you to pose Hanako and Rin out for walkies!! Other optional parts include her smartphone along with earphones!★

Be sure to check the official product page for more details tomorrow!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Another thing that you may have noticed from the photos above, is that she comes with arms that allow you to display her with either hand in or out of her pockets! The combination of hands in pockets and the different expressions really allow for so many different situations!!  ♡

Another thing to note is that she is wearing a school uniform, which means that she’ll go really well with the figmaPLUS: Classroom and figmaPLUS: School Route Set which are on sale now! ♥︎

Keep the Cinderella Girls right by your side in figma form!

figma Rin Shibuya:
CINDERELLA PROJECT ver.!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♪

Plus, orders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a bonus expression!!

A sceptical expression!!!


△ Yet another delicious expression!!

Be sure to consider it when preordering!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Also remember that Uzuki and Chanmio are also on their way to the figma world!

I’ll be sure to share any new information about them as soon as I hear more!!(｀・ω・´)

 

By the way! Don’t forget that the rerelease of the 1/8th scale figure…

Rin Shibuya: New Generation Ver.  is currently up for order! 

Orders at the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 4th March at 21:00JST!

Nendoroid Co-de: Dress Coordination Examples!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I remember once in my youth I decided my dress-up doll needed her hair cleaned, and preformed a full shampoo and rinse! I even made sure to dry with a hair dryer! Perhaps at the time I was aspiring to be a hairdresser….

Anyway, today I’m going to continue my look at…
Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de &
Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de

Has everyone checked the product pages?! (｀・ω・´)

☆ Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
☆ Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de

At long last the Nendoroid Co-de series has begun!! ♪

First and foremost, let’s have a quick reminder of what the series is all about! 

Nendoroid Co-de figures are more simplified Nendoroids, with the ability to dress-up in various ways! (｀・ω・´)

At least, that’s my quick and simple definition, but you can find a much better one over on the official site!

△ The Co-de site is up and running! English version too!

Perhaps the biggest characteristic is that each figure has a very specific make-up of parts! ★

Each color in the photo above represents one of the four parts that will be found on any Nendoroid Co-de figure! These parts can be swapped around between the figures for all sorts of interesting costumes! ♪

△ Swapping the upper garment and shoes! ♪

The arms and legs are fixed in place in a specific pose, but instead you get to mix and match outfits in interesting ways!

Size-wise, they are exactly the same size as normal Nendoroids!

o0515034813223761294

△ Laala is a prototype which makes her a little bigger than the final product!

By the way!

Nendoroid Co-de head parts are compatible with normal Nendoroids! (｀・ω・´)ゞ 

In other words, you can use Nendoroid expression parts with Nendoroid Co-de figures, as well as the other way around! This allows for even more interesting ideas and situations!

Anyway, today I am going to make use of the product that were announced today, as well as the four upcoming products, Mirei Minami: Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de, Mirei Minami: Magical Clown Co-de, Sophie Hojo : Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de and Sophie Hojo: White Swan Co-de to show some of the different outfits you can make with multiple Nendoroid Co-de figures!

△ They will also be available for order soon! ！

My fashion sense is rather dubious, but I’m going to try my very best to coordinate some outfits! Starting with…

· Head: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· Upper: Mirei Minami – Magical Clown Co-de
· Lower: Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de
· Shoes: Mirei Minami – Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de

Mirei’s heart pose! I wanted to use it on Laala so badly!!!

The clothes all have a touch of red to them making them match up quite nicely! I think it turned out rather well! I look forward to using this heart pose with Sophie too!! ♡

Next up…!

· Head: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· Upper: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de
· Lower: Mirei Minami- Magical Clown Co-de
· Shoes: Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de

A much more mature looking outfit this time around!

The upper and lower garments have a tighter feel to them, giving a more serious look to Laala than you normally see! I personally love these shoes of Sophies too! (ﾉ)´∀｀(ヾ)

Well? What did you think of my clothes coordination? I hope my ideas have given you at least some kind of idea as to some of the fun to be had with the Nendoroid Co-de series! ♡

However! Let’s not leave this to me!

Let me check with some of the GSC staff on their recommended combinations! (*´Д｀)=з 

① Design Team: Yattsun

The staff member responsible for the Nendoroid Co-de handouts and posters!

The Nendoroid/figma catalogue and calender handed out at WonFes were also design by Yattsun!!

This is the outfit coordination that he decided was best! ♪

· Head: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de
· Upper: Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de
· Lower: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de
· Shoes: Mirei Minami- Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de

An outfit truly fit for an idol! Just look at all those lovely ribbons!! ♪

A nice balance featuring parts from each of the characters! very nicely done! As a side note, the Nendoroid posters designed by Yattsun should be in stores from next week!! っ(｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

② Planning Team: Hamako

Perhaps the most idol-like person in GSC, Hamako!

Hamako is actually quite the Pripara fan… what will she come up with? ♪

· Head: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de
· Upper: Mirei Minami- Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de
· Lower: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de
· Shoes: Mirei Minami- Magical Clown Co-de

A beautiful combination of colours!! The gentle whites at the center with colourful sections on the top and bottom! The dress of the White Swan Co-de really suits almost any other piece nicely! ♪

 

③ Planning Team: Otakana-shi

The Nendoroid Co-de series’ planner – Otanaka-shi!

Anyone who follows Otanaka-shi on Twitter will know his love for idols!! ★ (Particularly on Friday nights and Saturday mornings)

An idol lover’s selection of outfit…

· Head: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· Upper: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de
· Lower: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· Shoes: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· ?????
So….. cute…!! (●´ω｀●)

 

But there seem to be some extra parts on this Laala!!! 

(・∀・) “Yep! Orders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP will come with special decoration stickers!“

 

△ Design is provisional and may change without notice.

(・∀・) “The stickers come in all sorts of cute and colourful options to really brighten up your outfit choices even more!” 

△ An extra flower accent to the outfit! ♪

Combining the different parts of the figures allows for all sorts of fun… but having stickers adds even more cute and fun options! ♥︎

(・∀・) “I hope that both Nendoroid and Pripara fans alike will enjoy coordinating their very own outfits in all sorts of ways!! ♪” 

　△ I can’t wait to see photos from fans once they release!

 

Good Smile Company’s new series! 

Look forward to more soon!!

Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m very jealous of people who own lots of dolls with all sorts of outfits to dress them up in… I could sit and play for hours when there are different shoes and dresses to try on…

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at GSC’s newest series!

Nendoroid Co-de! ♪ 

What is Nendoroid Co-de?

Nendoroid Co-de is a new addition to the Nendoroid series based on the theme of dressing-up characters! The figures have fixed poses and each come with four parts – the head, upper garment, lower garment and shoes. Each of these parts can be swapped between characters allowing for all sorts of possibilities. The more you collect, the more dress-up options become available to you!

The name ‘Co-de’ comes from the Japanese pronunciation of the word ‘coordinate’, as in clothes coordination.

In other words…!

They are simple Nendoroids great for new collectors, with the ability to dress-up in various ways! (｀・ω・´)

The very first in the series is going to be…

Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka –
Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de ♥︎

The sparkling Cyalume Co-de that fans of the anime will know well from her live performances! ☆

The treble clef on her ribbon and the musical score down the outfit give her a very convincing idol appearance! The design of her knee high socks are also so adorable!! This is the kind of clothes that show what it means to be an idol! ♪ 

The large ribbon on the back is also faithfully included!

The striped skirt also makes her look a little more mature for her age! (/ω＼)

However… the Nendoroid Co-de series isn’t about just one outfit! It’s about changing them!

Which obviously means there is more than one outfit available!

Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka –
Cutie Ribbon Co-de ♥︎

The very first Co-de that Laala used when she visited the Pripara world in the anime series! ♪

The winking expression also gives her extra cute points! This outfit is filled with frills and ribbons for a very girlie appearance! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

Even the back features a ribbon at the top!

The soft pink colors also suit her so nicely!! (´□｀｡)

Anyway, before we move on, let’s take a look at what exactly makes up the Nendoroid Co-de series!

1) Four Simple Parts

Each figure is divided into just four parts: 

・ Head
・ Upper Garment
・ Lower Garment (Skirt, etc)
・ Shoes (Including Legs)

△ Unlike normal Nendoroids, the arms and legs are fixed in place.

As the poses are locked in place, you don’t have quite as much freedom as with normal Nendoroids, but that also means that beginners to the figure scene will instantly have a great pose without too much effort! As a side note, the hips and upper body can be twisted around allowing for slightly different nuances in the pose! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

 

2) Co-de Compatibility

Each of the four parts found on any Nendoroid Co-de figure is compatible with any other Nendoroid Co-de! Swapping parts is incredibly simple, but with enough figures there will be all sorts of different options to enjoy!  ☆

△ Swapping upper garment parts!

Swapping the upper garment also means the pose of the character will change to that outfits pose, creating a fresh image for the character as well! They might not be fully articulated, but you still have all sorts of options to try and find the cutest poses for characters! ♪

Another side note – the neck joint is exactly the same as a normal Nendoroid! This means you can also change the angle of her neck to alter the pose slightly!

 

3) Fun to Collect

We have already announced  Mirei Minami: Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de, Mirei Minami: Magical Clown Co-de, Sophie Hojo : Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de and Sophie Hojo: White Swan Co-de will be coming shortly!!

△ I’ll show some examples of Mirei and Sophie Co-de swaps tomorrow! ♪
Plus, Shion Todo: Baby Monster Cyalume Co-de is also currently in production!

△ As more characters come out, more and more options open up! ♥︎

At WonFes we also announced that two more characters are on the way!

Both Dorothy West and Leona West are in the planning stages!

△ I can’t wait to see the twins outfits sculpted! ♥︎

Both SoLaMi♡SMILE and Dressing Pafé will all be joining the Nendoroid Co-de series! (・∀・)

I’m sure there will be many more characters coming in the line-up too! But let’s get back on track with today’s review…

The very first in the Nendoroid Co-de series…

Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de &
Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de

Both will be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♥︎ 

Another important thing to note is that they will cost just

¥2,400 Each!!

 

The idea behind the series is to collect lots and swap around outfits, so we brought down the price as low as possible to make them easy to collect!

Whether you’re a Nendoroid fan or a Pripara fan, don’t miss out! ♪

Plus!

Both of the Nendoroid Co-de going up for preorder tomorrow have a special extra bonus that can be used in the Pripara Arcade Game! An original special ‘Friend Ticket’!! More details will be added at a later stage so keep your eyes on the GSC site! (●´ω｀●)

You’ll find more info tomorrow on the Good Smile website! There will also be a special Nendoroid Co-de page to enjoy!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Aoi Sakurai

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Whenever I sit in box seating on trains, I always get the feeling I’m going on holiday! I also always feel like eating something seen you get a table in front of you!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at an item going up for preorder tomorrow from Max Factory!

The 1/7th Scale…

Aoi Sakurai!

The troublemaker with unparalleled accuracy and a hatred of men.

From the anime series ‘RAIL WARS!’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of Aoi Sakurai! The figure is based on the cover illustration of the original novel’s second volume.

Everything about the original illustration has been faithfully included on the figure – down to the ripped stockings and the smaller details on items such as her pistol and ID card. Her left hand is shaped like a pistol, ready to fire right through the heart of her fans!

Oooooooooooooohhh!! (*´Д｀)=з

The tomboyish, confident young woman with skill in both ranged and close combat! She is also the well-known troublemaker from the Tokyo Central Railway Public Security Office Defence Four Squad, who will jump right into the deep end whenever something happens! A scale figure of Aoi Sakurai!! 

Her left hand is placed in a gun pose with a rather playful wink on her face! It all comes together for a very sexy pose! (/ω＼)

This is how she looks from the back! ☆

[[[5

The way her hair is tied up giving a little peek at her ears is lovely and all, but I think most people’s eyes will head down to those rather soft looking curves first! The combination of the tight skirt and the pose make for an eye catching sculpt!

Then if we take a look from a higher angle…

She has her ID Card held in her mouth, her blouse unbuttoned at the top showing off her neckline and torn stockings showing off even more bare skin!

A rather unique pose that shows off both her personality and her beautiful body! ♡

As mentioned in the product description above, the pose is based on the cover illustration of the original novel’s second volume! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ Displayed together with the book!

Just look at how close it is to the original! Not only the sculpt, but the paintwork as well…

(・∀・) “We really tried our best to capture the charm of Vania 600’s illustration!”

We’re joined by the figure’s planner, Kaneko Nitohei (Max Factory)! 

(・∀・) “The way Vania 600 makes use of reds, or gives the stockings an almost transparent look were all very carefully considered… we had many meetings discussing how the painting would be done!” 

The gradient on the jacket and skirt look exactly like they did in the illustration!! (； ・`д・´)

The sculpting of the stockings is incredible, but even more so is the way you can make out the more stretched out areas by the paintwork!

(・∀・) “The ‘aspect of stocking‘ really comes out nicely on the figure! Just look at the knees and under the feet to see the stretch effect and creases at the very best!”

The aspect of stocking…!! 

(What an incredible choice of words from Kaneko Nitohei!! (●´ω｀●) )

As mentioned above, the sole of her foot is amazing!

△ Note the lighter area of her heel, and the creases at the arch of her foot!

(・∀・) “We also paid very careful attention to all the smaller items included with her or on her outfit… for example her belt buckle…”

△ If you look from this angle you can see the amazing detail!

(・∀・) “Her railroad security officer ID with the emblem, as well as the pistol holster at her side as well! Also note the bunched-up sleeve…”

△ Personally I really love the muscle you can see on the arm too!

(・∀・) “By the way, I think the final product will allow you to place the five bullets however you please! They might be small, but they are still detailed!”

△ Her pistol for self-defence is also looking great! ♪

(・∀・) “A figure that can be enjoyed from almost any angle!”

Filled with details and sculpted with love!

The 1/7th scale…

Aoi Sakurai

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow on the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP!

Check the GSC Official Site or GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP for more details tomorrow!

*Note that this product is exclusive to the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP in Japan, but will be sold overseas through standard distributors.

Finally! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Brand new wooser Goods are currently up for preorder!

wooser iPhone6 Case

There are three different designs to choose from:
Secret Base / Analog Room / A Day in the Life of oshirase wooser ♡

oshirase wooser’s illustrations were specially drawn for this iPhone Case!! The items are introduced in more detail on the GSC Lab Blog so be sure to take a look if you’re interested!

Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition Winter 2015: Part 3

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I was told that a light snow has started outside, but my seat is quite far from the windows so I still haven’t confirmed this for myself… apparently it was even snowing in some places this morning, but around my house it was just cold with no pretty snow! Maybe I’ll get to see some on the way home!

Anyway, today I’ll be moving onto the last part of my Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition Winter 2015 report!

Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition Winter 2015: Part 2
