Nendoroid Mako Mankanshoku: Fight Club-Spec Two-Star Goku Uniform Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

When I was in middle school my uniform was a blazer, so I’ve always been rather envious of cute sailor-type uniforms!

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

Nendoroid Mako Mankanshoku:
Fight Club-Spec Two-Star Goku Uniform Ver.

From the anime series ‘KILL la KILL’ comes a Nendoroid of Mako Mankanshoku wearing her Fight Club-Spec Two-Star Goku Uniform! Optional parts include a spiked bat and brass knuckles to display her in action scenes worthy of the Fight Club President!

Mako comes with three different expressions including her standard expression as well as two different crying expressions – one based on her tears from episode 7 and the other based on episode 24. Be sure to combine expressions and parts with the previously released Nendoroid Mako Mankanshoku for even more options!

Hyahoo!! Mako-chan!! (´□｀｡)

She is back again in Nendoroid size with all new expressions, optional parts and of course the amazing Fight Club-Spec Two-Star Goku Uniform! ♥︎

Her shining gold knuckle dusters engraved with ‘MAKO’, the dangerous looking spiked bat, school hat with a rebellious tear in the peak, black gakuran-jacket, geta shoes and leaf in her mouth!! Everything about her is so perfect!

This Mako-chan from the amazing episode seven in the series, also seen in the final episode is the definite ‘combat’ version of Mako-chan! The very first sample arrived today at the offices, so I decided to do a review as soon as possible! (σ・∀・)σ

Starting with the box design!

The famous red text in the window has been included! ♪

The whole box also has a matte finish but their are certain lines all over the design that have a glossy look to recreate that KILL la KILL atmosphere even from the box!

This is how the blister pack looks! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

The waterfall parts at the bottom right definitely draw attention!

We’ll get back to those later… let’s start with a look at the main figure! ♪

＼Fight Club-Spec／

＼Two-Star Goku Uniform／

／Fight Club President＼
／Mako Mankanshoku!＼

The complete pose even with the peace signs held up high can be recreated in Nendoroid size! Special left and right hand parts are included for this! (´∀｀)

This is how she looks from the back!

The jacket has a kind of pointy feeling that looks rather cute from the back! The shoulder area and bottom area of the jacket also features articulation allowing you to add various different nuances to your poses! ♪

Some of you might also remember that there were various weapons on the inside of the jacket…

They are faithfully included!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Various different weapons!

They all have been separately sculpted and all look rather imposing… although the Nendoroid size also gives them a slightly cute feel!

Let’s recreate the scene where Mako first appears in this uniform! Her opponent was none other than…

Ryuko-chan!! ( ；∀；)

I never expected that episode!!

I love series that have such unexpected turns! I’m a huge fan of Mako-chan and this episode really made her shine… those who haven’t seen the series yet really should!!!

Another very memorable scene from this episode…

Mako-chaaaaan!! °・(ノД｀)・°・

The famous crying expression has somehow been transformed into Nendoroid form!! They are attached by slipping them through the joint of the head part!

The lovely transparent parts give a really convincing shiny and wobbly tear-like appearance that captures the KILL la KILL animation style so nicely!♪

I feel like going to rewatch the series right now!!

Anyway, let’s get back to the waterfall parts that were in the blister pack!

Looking at them alone is a little strange, but…

↓↓↓

These are special effect parts to recreate ANOTHER famous crying scene from Mako!! This one from the final episode!! The episode seemed rather serious most of the way and then suddenly Mako goes and cries like this… I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry!! I wish I had a Gamagoori to pose together with her!!

These effect parts are designed to simply place against the eyes, so you can transform any Nendoroid into a waterfall crying character with ease! ( ・ㅂ・)و ̑̑

By the way, the crying expression without any tear effect parts attached also has a very unique look to it! Look how cute her puffed up cheeks look! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

I’m sure you could find various other uses for this expression beyond just a crying expression. It could be upset, or just show her overcome with emotion!! More than anything though it just shows how very adorable she is!! Not to mention how well her design works as a Nendoroid! φ(．． )

Ryuko-chan also decided to try on the uniform!

Ahh!! She’s also so cute!! (*´Д｀)

The hat doesn’t quite fit… but the outfit seems to work really well with Ryuko-chan’s embarrassed expression!!

Be sure to swap parts around with other Nendoroids too!! ♪

△ Folded arm parts together with the serious expression
from Nendoroid Mako Mankanshoku!☆

Fun alone, fun to swap parts and great to pose with Nendoroid Ryuko!

Definitely one of those Nendoroids that is filled with fun! ♡

Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka: Training Outfit Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Bread in the morning, rice at lunch! That’s how most of my days go! My best type of sandwiches are the sweeter kings, with jams or peanut butter! They’re even better as toast!

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

Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka: Training Outfit Ver.! ★

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a Nendoroid of Honoka Kosaka wearing her training outfit with the large ‘Ho’ character printed on the front. She comes with two different expressions including an energetic smile as well as a more comical flustered expression. She also comes with a variety of arm and leg parts allowing you to pose per practising in all various different ways.

Bread parts are also included allowing you to pose her munching on her favorite food after a hard day’s training. A special ‘holding hands’ hand part is also included for use with the ‘Ima wa Bokura no Naka de’ LoveLive! Nendoroid series. The other μ’s members are also going to be joining the Nendoroid series in their training outfits, so be sure to look out for them too!

Honoka-chaaan!! (/ω＼)

The very first member of μ’s to join the second set of LoveLive! Nendoroids that allow you to enjoy your favourite characters in a more casual style! ♪

This smile is just too adorable!!

It’s like she’s smiling just for my photos!!

The leader of the μ’s members who acts as a pillar for the rest of the group is ready to cheer everyone on with a smile! While it’s hard to move away from her cute face, there are other area to look at so let’s move on… to her outfit! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

In order to get the outfit minimized into Nendoroid size, a couple of details from the original design have been simplified, but the main details are all faithfully in place! Note the red and white stripes on her right wrist or the flaps of the orange sleeves!

Lower down we have short pants and leggings!

The more boyish appearance during training is very like Honoka… but she still looks adorable in them! Plus… she even comes with…

Honoka-chan’s (and my) beloved bread!

The combination of this sparking smile and the bread in hand shows off just how much she loves it! ♡ She also comes with alternate bent leg parts for both the left and right legs, allowing for all sorts of energetic poses! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Let’s move onto her secon…

(・∀・) “…second expression!”

It seem we’ve been joined by the figure’s planner, Hamako!

(・∀・) “The theme of this second set of LoveLive! Nendoroids is μ’s members in everyday life!”

After all, the last set had them all in their “Bokura wa Ima no Naka De” outfits, which means they were focused on singing and dancing – idol-like poses!

(・∀・)”Exactly! But I wanted to enjoy a more casual set of μ’s as well!! So we decided to move on to this second series to do just that!”

The smiling face above works great in all sorts of casual, everyday scenes!

(・∀・) “Yep! The μ’s members have so many different expressions, that it’s really difficult to select which ones to include with a Nendoroid… but Honoka wouldn’t be Honoka without a nice big smile like that!”

Anyway, let’s move on to the second expression!

(・∀・) “Her second expression is a flustered expression!”

Ooooooooooohhh!! (*´Д｀)=з

(・∀・) “We had various ideas, but eventually settled on this one! Normally Honoka is a pillar for the others, but decided on this one as a nice gap with her smiling expression!”

Even the ‘waves’ of her mouth have been sculpted in!! It’s a work of art!

(・∀・) “Those waves are what make her expression so unique! We worked really hard to get them to match the Nendoroid size!”

It’s definitely shows a more comical side of Honoka that was never included with Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka! ♪

(・∀・) “Changing expressions with the bread leads to a very different situation!”

It’s like she is afraid that someone is going to take her bread from her!

Don’t worry! That’s your bread!! Feel free to eat it!! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

(・∀・) “It’s one of those expressions that can be used for a variety of emotions! I’m sure we’ll see some very interesting situations coming from it… particularly when posed with the other μ’s members!”

You’re right! I can see this being used in all sorts of different Nendoroid stories!! I can’t wait to see some fan photos!! ♪

(・∀・) “She also comes with one more optional part!”

Hm? This is Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka and Nendoroid Umi Sonoda…?

Ah! Their hands!! …Σ(･ω･　)!!

(・∀・) “That’s right! This special holding hands part will be included with each of the Training Outfit Ver. Nendoroids!”

So collecting all of them will allow you to connect all of their hands together!! Lovely! ♥︎

Who would I want to pose holding hands together… (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

By the way, obviously you can always use the expressions and other parts interchangeably between Nendoroids, so mixing and matching parts between the two versions will allow for more options than ever before! ♪

* Prototypes and final products differ in size slightly, so the head here has been replaced entirely.

(・∀・) “You can enjoy it as a single product or enjoy it with her stage outfit version and the other μ’s members!”

Enjoy the cute and comical sides of Honoka in her training wear!

Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka: Training Outfit Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder tomorrow! ♪

Plus! Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include both a Special Nendoroid Stand, a Nendoroid Background Sheet (Blue Sky) and a Background Attachment Part! ♥︎

I’m sure many fans will remember this scenery and pose!! The background sheet recreates the rooftop of Otonokizaka High School!

Doesn’t it bring back memories of that lovely ending theme? The stand above is a standard Nendoroid stand, but the actual bonus will have a special print recreating the floor of the rooftop as well!

In other words, preordering from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will get you all of the following items! ★

△ T-This was the best I could do! The real stand will be much more epic!

(・∀・) “This bonus will be included with each of the μ’s members in this second series, and each will also comes with different background sheet to complete the image!”

(I can’t wait to see what the background will look like combined together!!)

⇒　Nendoroid Co-de: Shion Todo – Baby Monster Cyalume Co-de
⇒　Nendoroid Co-de: Shion Todo – Eternal Punk Co-de

Check my blog review here: Nendoroid Co-de: Shion Todo

Let’s stop here for a second for the usual…

A Quick Nendoroid Co-de Recap!

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!

In other words…! They are simple fixed pose Nendoroids, great for new collectors and with the ability to dress-up in various ways! Great fun for both young and old fans!

For more information, be sure to check out the…

Nendoroid Co-de Special Site!

⇒　http://www.goodsmile.info/en/nendoro-code

Here you can find out more about the Nendoroid Co-de series as well as test out some of the possible outfit combinations that will come from the first three characters! Perhaps a little later Shion will also be available to switch between? Keep your eyes on the site!

Anyway, let’s get back to Dorothy and Reona! ♪

Nendoroid Co-de: Dorothy West – Twin Gingham Co-de D

A bright and colorful design with pants!

She has one hand extended outward for a rather energetic pose as well! Oh yes, I nearly forgot to mention! Nendoroid Co-de normally come with four parts – Head, Upper, Lower and Shoes… but this outfit was a little different, meaning that the Lower and Shoes parts have been combined into a single part! ★

She can still be swapped with any other characters, just with a few less options, so do take note!

Nendoroid Co-de: Reona West – Twin Gingham Co-de R

Reona is in a dress instead of pants!

Posed with one hand holding the dress down with another up to his cheek for a very adorable pose! The frills and colors of the skirt are so cheerful! (/ω＼)♡

The frills and divisions are actually sculpted on, not just painted!

The details of the costume have been numbed down a bit from the anime and game in order to transform the figure into Nendoroid Co-de form, but all the accessories and edges have been kept as faithful as possible! (・∀・)

By the way!

Nendoroid Co-de head parts can be switched around, so you can easily try these expressions on the Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de figures as well! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Head: Dorothy West Twin Gingham Co-de D
Upper, Lower, Shoes : Dorothy West Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de D

Head: Reona West Twin Gingham Co-de R
Upper, Lower, Shoes : Reona West Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de R
(The hats from the Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de can even be moved over! )

You can switch the entire head over, or just the expression part like any standard Nendoroid… meaning there are all sorts of fun options for Nendoroid collectors! Obviously you can also swap out parts with other characters as well!

Here are some examples! ♥︎

Head: Mirei Minami Magical Clown Co-de
Upper: Laala Manaka Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
Lower, Shoes : Dorothy West Twin Gingham Co-de

Head: Sophie Hojo White Swan Co-de
Upper: Mirei Minami Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de
Lower: Reona West Twin Gingham Co-de R
Shoes : Reona West Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de R

Yukiho Hagiwara

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The heat of Summer has really started to beat down, but I think that’s all the more reason to enjoy warm Japanese tea! I still enjoy my hot drinks even on the hottest of days! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Phat! Company’s 1/8th Scale…
Yukiho Hagiwara!

From the anime series ‘IDOLM@STER’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the withdrawn idol, Yukiho Hagiwara! The pose is based on the illustration by director Atsushi Nishigori seen on the 2nd volume of the Blu-ray & DVD jacket for the anime series.The figure features Yukiho just as a gust of wind blows across her, blowing her hat and dress to the side for a very dynamic pose. The paintwork has also been carefully done to bring out a refreshingly fresh atmosphere to the figure!

Ooooooooohh! (´□｀｡)

The slightly despondent idol from 765 Production has been sculpted in a lovely dynamic scale figure! ♡

The figure captures the instant that a gust of wind blows across her, blowing the hat from her head! The pose is based on the illustration by director Atsushi Nishigori found on the 2nd volume of the Blu-ray & DVD jacket for the anime series! Also note the way her skirt is blowing about in the sudden gust of wind – the sculpting is meticulous! Even her short bob cut hairstyle is blowing to the side – I can just imagine her voice… “Hou….”

It’s rather hard to express the dynamic feel in words! It just looks so well done like she really is in mid-movement… not to mention it’s a great representation of the original illustration! (ﾉω･､)

Her outfit is actually very simple – just a plain blouse and skirt, but the gradient applied to the skirt and the details in the sculpting create something that is hard to describe as ‘plain’. It looks lovely! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Just look at the fluttering movement!

The gradient paintwork just adds to dynamic effect! (/ω＼)

Not to mention that her lovely legs inside the skirt have also been very nicely sculpted too! Definitely a highlight for me…!

The light colors of outfit also have a very refreshing, Summer feeling!

By the way, this marks the 7th figure in Phat!’s IDOLM@STER BD/DVD Jacket Series!

Let’s take a look at all the figures in the series so far! ε=(｡・д・｡)

#1: Hibiki Ganaha

…and Yukiho is lucky number seven!

Which means there are only five members left!

Who will be next Phat-san?! I can’t wait to find out…
But let’s get back to Yukiho for now! (*´Д｀)

Just look at that adorable expression! I want to protect her!! I really wish I could pat her on the head, or put my hand on her cheek…!

Also note the detail on her hat!

The weaved appearance has been preserved so nicely!

It’s so nice to see this amount of detail put into the smaller details of the figure! Also note the cute ribbon! You can really see that the sculptor has put his love into his work!

One more thing I have to show!

Take a closer look at the bag she is holding on her shoulder!

Hmm… Take a look from this angle!

Even the metal fastener on the inside of the bad has been included!

Makoto Kikuchi amazed me with the fact that even the inner side of her hoodie has been faithfully included, but Yukiho has kept my expectations up for the series! Be sure to take a nice close look at all the details when you add her to your collection!

Enjoy her gentle smile by your side all the time! ♡

Yukiho Hagiwara!

Nendoroid Shiren: Super Movable Edition

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My favorite fillings for rice balls are currently salmon and cod roe… but kelp and bonito flakes are also hard to resist! Who am I kidding… I can’t resist any riceballs, no matter the filling! (/ω＼)

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

Nendoroid Shiren:
Super Movable Edition!

From the popular game ‘Shiren the Wanderer 5+ Fortune Tower to Unmei no Dice’ comes a Nendoroid of the main character, Shiren! He comes with both a cute yet courageous standard expression as well as a cheerful smiling expression.

Various optional parts are also included to help him get through the dungeons – his standard sword and shield, as well a stave, scroll and riceball are all included, plus his faithful partner ‘Koppa’ is also included to display by his side! Enjoy posing Shiren and Koppa trying their best to get through the dungeon!

Oooooooohhh!! (´□｀｡)

From the famous RPG that you can play 1000 of times, ‘Shiren the Wanderer’ comes a Nendoroid of Shiren from the latest game! His confident expression, crossed card on his face and sword and shield to get him through the dungeon are all faithfully included! ★

Even in Nendoroid size Shiren’s outfit has been carefully detailed! Note how many different sections all with different colors are needed!

Even the texture of the fabric on certain areas has been faithfully included!

His traditional hat and striped cape which are mementos of a friend are also looking lovely! (。・ω・)ノ゛

Note how each of the thatching lines on the traditional hat are carefully added to the sculpt!

Looking from the top…

The top features an outward gradient, gradually becoming lighter! Both the sculpt and paintwork come together so well to make the hat look so perfect! ☆

By the way, as you may have noticed from the product name, this Nendoroid is a fully articulated Nendoroid!! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Even the shoulders are fitted with joints, allowing for many more fighting poses with his sword and shield equipped! Not only that, but his knees are also bendable which makes the action poses look more dynamic and believable!

There are much more awesome action poses taken for the official photos which will be up on the GSC website, so be sure to take a look at them tomorrow! (･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ

Plus as I’m sure you’ve noticed by now…

Koppa is also included with the Nendoroid!

This little weasel is also articulated in all sorts of places for different poses! This includes his neck, lower body and tail! (σ・∀・)σ

You can even use his posability to let him stand all on his own like above!★

Or in a completely different pose like below! (・∀・)

Hmm… what is Koppa looking at?

It seems the Nendoroid also comes with the all important riceball item from the game! Heal up!! (●´ω｀●)

His smiling expression can also be used as an eating expression!!

The smiling expression gives off a rather different feel to his standard expression! You really get to various sides of Shiren’s personality! But he still comes with more optional parts! More items to help him get through the dungeons!

Such as a scroll…

and a stave! (｡・д・｡)

Enjoy recreating all sorts of poses from the game!!

By the way, I said he was fully articulated, but let me also note that his cape comes as three separated parts and connected with a ball joint, allowing for all sorts of different nuances when posing!

The flow of the cape has also been very carefully thought out! Make sure to take a nice close look once he joins your collection!

Various optional parts to recreate your favorite dungeon runs! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Nendoroid Shiren:
Super Movable Edition!

figma Venus de Milo

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The bust I made while in middle school was Harry Potter! Back then everyone was trying hard to decide on what to make and I was just obsessed with Daniel Radcliffe…

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

figma Venus de Milo!★

‘The Table Museum’ is a series of figma figures based on famous works of art that almost anyone would recognize! The second figma to join the series is the mysterious statue found on the Greek island of Milos – Venus de Milo. The masterfully sculpted statue is known for both its graceful appearance as well as the intrigue inspired by her mysteriously missing arms. It allows one to enjoy the intricate sculpting as well as consider the many mysteries of ancient Greece.

· Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out the classic Venus de Milo pose and various other action poses.
· A flexible plastic is used for important areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
· A special stand, chest and head part are included to recreate the classic pose.
· Alternate parts such as her missing arm parts, an apple and various hand parts are also included for other poses.
· An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

Great job, FREEing! (●´ω｀●)

From the same ‘Table Museum’ series that allowed you to pose the Thinker in all sorts of fun and artistic poses comes a new addition – figma Venus de Milo!

There were many times while I was taking photos of this figure that I forgot it was a figure! It really looks just like an actual sculpture, even though it’s a figma!

FREEing was kind enough to let me borrow the painted prototype, so I decided to review it for everyone today! (σ・∀・)σ

Even though it is a well known sculpture, it’s amazing what changing the angle of the head or position of the camera can do to create a very fresh feeling!

Even in figma size, the details of the original sculpture are faithfully preserved!

Most people only know the Venus de Milo from the front, so seeing her from the back is actually a little strange! (Maybe that’s just me though!)

What a lovely bare back!! (；・`д・´)

The clothing wrapped around her hips also has a kind of ‘grabbable’ appearance to it that I don’t see very often on figma figures!

Anyway, when one thinks of what makes the Venus de Milo so famous, the first thing that comes to mind is of course her mysteriously missing arms! This aspect has been faithfully included as you can tell!

For those unaware, the original sculpture was thought to have originally made made with arms, but they were for some reason mysteriously removed… leaving everyone who looks at her to wonder how exactly her arms and hands had been sculpted! It’s quite fun to imagine what kind of poses she might have been in…

But FREEing allows us to re-enact whatever we imagine!!

She comes with arm and hand parts!!

An alternate upper body part is also included which allows that arms to be attached! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

One of the more popular theories of her pose was that she was holding an apple out on her hand, so special hand parts and an apple to create that pose are also included! Yay! ♪

Plus, as if the bonus upper body part wasn’t enough…

Legs! The Cloth! They’re moving!!

She actually comes with two different lower body parts as well! One is a non-moving stand of her hips down to the legs which allows for the classic pose, and the other has articulated legs and a flexible cloth allowing for poses as far as the imagination stretches!

As you can see…

There are an endless number of options to enjoy with her!!

Making poses with just the upper body is a lot of fun…
But you can take it one step further…

How about a situation like this!!

△ Feeling surprised as her hand is suddenly grabbed!

～♪～♪
*Romantic music*

“Wait… who is this?!”

This is the figure that was announced on the same day as figma Venus de Milo!

figma The Thinker: Plaster ver.!

I’m sure many of you may have already purchased figma The Thinker, but this version has a whole new charm! (●´ω｀●)

The difference in feel between the standard bronze version and plaster is rather noticeable, plus the coloring works really well when displaying him with figma Venus de Milo! I would definitely recommend adding this version to your collection as well!

anyway, returning to Venus de Milo… she has clearly become more than just a sculpture with all these optional parts! She is free from her single pose and has become a free goddess!! (･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！

“Is this… is this love I feel…?”

“No… surely not…”

You can even display her troubled by her love life!

The only limit is your imagination!!

△ Trying out some dancing! Why not!

Enjoy the classic sculptures in articulated form, or in their classic look! ♡

figma Venus de Milo &
figma The Thinker: Plaster ver.

They are both up for preorder now!

ORANGE ROUGE Announcement!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

the humidity of the rainy season has my hair curling in all sorts of strange directions. Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the new brand announced between Good Smile Company and Max Factory…

ORANGE ROUGE

You can find the official site for the brand below! (｀・ω・´)ゞ
⇒ http://orangerouge.com/en/

(1) What is Orange Rouge?

Good Smile Company and Max Factory have been taking close notice of the demand and constant rise in popularity for male character products. In order to match the demand for these products, an all new brand dedicated to these male character figures and goods has been established – ORANGE ROUGE.

The brand will include products from the popular Nendoroid action figure series, the highly posable yet beautiful figma series as well as highly detailed and intricate scale figures. Various goods are also planned to be sold under the Orange Rouge name. The strengths of both companies will come together to provide all sorts of products and services for fans to enjoy.

In other words!

ORANGE ROUGE is the combined effort of GSC and Max Factory to bring you more male character products!

2) What’s in the Works?

The line-up currently contains eight products, let’s take a look at each! ♪

Nendoroid Tsurumaru Kuninaga

Nendoroid Shokudaikiri Mitsutada

1/8th Scale Mikazuki Munechika

1/8th Scale Kashuu Kiyomitsu

1/8th Scale Yamatonokami Yasusada

All of the above are from Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-!

Moving on…

Nendoroid Tooru Oikawa

Nendoroid Yuu Nishinoya

The above are all from Haikyu!!

Nendoroid Koujaku

And finally, the ongoing DRAMAtical Murder series will also become ORANGE ROUGE! All of the above products are already under way! As soon as I get any new info about them I will be sure to share! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

The Origin of Orange Rouge

‘ORANGE ROUGE‘ comes from the words for ‘Orange‘ and ‘Red‘ in French! (σ・∀・)σ

If you take a look at GSC and Max Factory’s logo above, the reason for this should be obvious! The orange comes from the GSC logo, while the red comes from the Max Factory logo! In other words, you can expect items that have the strengths of both GSC and MXF all packed into one brand!

More of Max Factory’s items will be revealed at WonFes!!

I hope everyone is looking forward to it!
You can find out more about WonFes over here!

Nendoroid Co-de: Dorothy West & Reona West – Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve been friends with three different pairs of twins in my life! But they were always twins of the same gender…! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Co-de: Dorothy West – Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de D
&
Nendoroid Co-de: Reona West – Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de R!

Left: Nendoroid Co-de: Reona West – Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de R
Right: Nendoroid Co-de: Dorothy West – Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de D

From the popular anime series ‘PriPara’ comes a Nendoroid Co-de of Reona and Dorothy West wearing the Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de!

The colorful outfit based on various different uniforms is the sparking cyalume code of the Fortune Party brand. Be sure to display and switch outfits with the other member of Dressing Pafé as well as the members of SoLaMi♡SMILE! ♪

Apologies for the wait!ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Following on from Shion Todo, the other two members of Dressing Pafé are joining the Nendoroid Co-de series! Their outfit has a bit of a sailor uniform look to it, and while they are very similar, the subtle differences between the two have been faithfully included!

As they’re twins, we also decided to do their frills and hair styles using 3D sculpting… ensuring symmetry between the two!

The 3D sculpting was done by GSC’s Iguchi, the same skilled hands behind Nendoroids such as Honoka Kosaka! By the way, the choice to use 3D sculpting or standard sculpting is decided through a number of different factors! A lot of the time certain smaller parts or accessories are made in 3D and the rest is a standard sculpt! (・∀・)

Anyway, let’s take a look from the back! ★

The frills on their skirts are so cute!!

I also love the bunched up look between the skirt and the top!

All Dressing Pafé members together!

Shion takes the center stage! Don’t forget that Shion is currently up for preorder! Don’t miss out on getting all the members together! (*´Д｀)=з

Blog Review: Nendoroid Co-de: Shion Todo

Anyway, let’s take a closer look at today’s characters! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Note that they are each sold separately!

Nendoroid Co-de: Dorothy West – Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de D

“Full speed dash!”

Posed waving her hand in an energetic pose! ♥︎

Her fun-loving and cheerful expression is captured really nicely! Note the star patterns all over her outfit – her mike, chest ribbon, hips and even on her shoes!! ☆

Her knee-high socks also feature a line of three white stars! The necessary details of the outfit have been shrunk down into the Nendoroid Co-de specs really effectively!

Let’s take a look at how Dorothy looks dressed up in the outfit from Nendoroid Co-de: Shion Todo – Baby Monster Cyalume Co-de!

It suits her so nicely!! (´□｀｡)

The cuter outfits look great on her, but that isn’t to say that this cooler style isn’t a wonderful choice! Look at that healthy looking belly button!!

As you can see from this photo, the sailor hats from her Co-de can be completely removed for when you wish to switch outfits with other Nendoroid Co-de figures! (The hat connects with a thin plastic sheet that slips in between the two hair parts!) Next up we have…

Nendoroid Co-de: Reona West – Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de R

“Fly Balloon! ♪”

Looking just as cute as Dorothy is her twin, Reona! Posed in a rather girly pose that suits him rather well! Even though he only stands 10cm in height, the little details on the puff sleeves and frills of the skirt are simply amazing! (●´ω｀●)

The pose with one hand out to the side is also a very cute choice!

Here we have Reona in Shion’s Baby Monster Cyalume Co-de! ♪

This one is also adorable!! (/ω＼)

Even if the pose and outfit are the same, you can make some rather different nuances simply by playing around with the angle the head is placed at! ♪

Hmm… how about swapping their outfits!

The poses also swap with the outfits, creating a rather big change!

As these two are twins they really need to be bought as a set… not only as they suit one and other so well, but also because that means you can dress-up any characters you choose in Twin Co–de!

Ooooooooohhh!!! (/ω＼)

They instantly look like they were born to perform together!!

Let’s stop here for a second for…

A Quick Nendoroid Co-de Recap!

In other words…! They are simple fixed pose Nendoroids, great for new collectors and with the ability to dress-up in various ways! Great fun for both young and old fans!

For more information, be sure to check out the…

Nendoroid Co-de Special Site!

⇒　http://www.goodsmile.info/en/nendoro-code

As each and every Co-de figure comes with a Head, Upper, Lower and Shoes part, you can not only switch just the head around like this…

But also switch various parts of the outfit!

· Head: Dorothy West – Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de D
· Upper: Minami Mirei – Magical Clown Co-de
· Lower: Reona West – Fortune Party Cyalume Co-de R
· Shoes: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de

The more you collect Nendoroid Co-de figures, the more potential dress-up options you have! Plus, just like the previous character in the series, all purchases of these two will come with a special ‘Original Friend Ticket’ which can be used in the PriPara game!

Bring the twins home to your collection!

Two Versions of 1/7th Scale Laala Manaka!

“Kashikoma!”

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at two different versions of the 1/7th scale figure of Manaka Laala, starting off with this one!

Laala Manaka: Kashikoma Ver.

From the popular anime series ‘PriPara’ comes a 1/7th scale of Laala Manaka! She has been sculpted wearing the cute outfit that is well known in both the anime and the game – the ‘Dream Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de’!

Laala has been sculpted in her classic ‘Kashikoma!’ pose, with a winking expression to complete the fan favorite posing. Enjoy the cute and lovely idol, ready to sparkle right by your side whenever you like!

The Kashikoma pose is so perfect for her!!

That adorable winking expression, playful pose and the broad smile is enough to make anyone smile along with her! (´□｀｡)

I’m so used to seeing the chibi size of her thanks to the Nendoroid Co-de figures, that seeing her in scale form is rather exciting!!

From the back she is the perfect idol!

Not only is she in the classic idol pose with one leg lifted, her long twintails are twirling around her in a dynamic pose that shows off the heat of the stage!

Each and every detail from the tips of her hair to the tips of her toes have been beautifully sculpted onto the figure! I wish I had longer to introduce it in more detail! However the area I really want to point out… is the amazing sculptwork of her outfit!!

So many frills that make up her three-layer skirt!

The sculpting makes it look like the frills are actually going to be soft the the touch! It’s hard to imagine that they’re made from something hard and not fabric! But there are still many more highlights to the figure as well, for instance… (・∀・)

Note the shape of her body!

The curves of her body can be seen so very clearly even over the outfit! You can even see a slight shadow of the ribcage if you look really carefully!! You really need to take a look at this with your own two eyes! (/ω＼)

The microphone in her hand is features the same ribbon design found all over her outfit and hair clip! It also has a glossy appearance to recreate the shiny look from the series! ♡

△ Her fingernails are also individually manicured with a lovely light pink!

By the way, also take a look at the stand!

The exact logo used on the stage from the series!! (●´ω｀●)

Definitely a nice little addition to fans that want to remember Laala from the anime or games!

The 1/7th Scale…

Laala Manaka: Kashikoma Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from the 19th June! ♡

However! Be careful!! This item is ONLY available for order from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP, Prism Stone Shop and PriPara Character Shop!

Anyway, moving on, let’s take a look at the second version! (●´ω｀●)

Laala Manaka

Laala has been posed in a dynamic pose as if in the middle of a live performance, shouting out to her fans! All the details of her outfit from the feather accents to the ribbons and frills have all been carefully included on the design. The 1/7th scale figure size allows for even more intricate details for fans to enjoy!

“Making Drama Switch On!”

The same lovely Laala in a slightly different pose, making sure all her fans have a good time while she is on stage! A simple yet charming pose that also suits an idol so very well! (*´Д｀)=з

This version has one hand up in the air, as if waving out to her fans while on stage!

Let’s see how she looks from the back! ♪

The long, yellow lace that ties up her outfit is lovely!!

The various indents on her back and at the back of her knees are also a pleasure to the eyes! On the previous version we had a closer look at the skirt, but this time let’s focus elsewhere…

For example, take a look at the treble clef in the center of her ribbon, or even the two straps tied with ribbons on her shoulders! Oh, and don’t forget the puff sleeves on her arms which are made using translucent parts… everything about her upper body is also very intricately detailed and filled with highlights!

The outfit only really makes use of pink, white and yellow, but it seems so colorful! Add to that the ribbons that are scattered all over as well as frilly edges and you have such a lovely, gorgeous outfit for an idol like Laala to really shine!

The way the fabric is being pulled around her waist due to the posing has also been carefully thought-out and sculpted… personally I really love the white-striped-yellow three layer skirt! It looks lovely from any angle! (/ω＼)

They say the expression if the heart of the figure and that may be true, but taking note of all the smaller details is also always great fun for me! Be sure to take a closer look when she joins your collection!

The 1/7th Scale…

Laala Manaka

She’ll be up for preorder from the 19th June! ♥︎

This item will be on sale at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP as well as have standard sales! It is not limited like the previous version!

They both certainly have their own charms, which makes it really hard for me to decide which I prefer! They’re both so cute though!! (/ω＼)
