Nendoroid Link: Majora’s Mask 3D Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I am without a doubt a Winter person. I miss Winter so much right now that I keep listening to songs about the Winter months…!

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

Nendoroid Link: Majora’s Mask 3D Ver.!

From the popular game ‘The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D’ comes a Nendoroid of the young hero and main character of the game, Link! He comes with both his standard smiling expression as well as a shouting expression for combat poses! He also comes with an assortment of classic items from the game including the Kokiri Sword, Hero’s Shield, Red Potion and Bunny Hood!

He also comes with special key items from Majora’s Mask including the Deku Mask, Goron Mask and Zora Mask, and Link’s fairy companion Tatl is also included to fly by his side and give advice. Even the evil Majora’s Mask itself is included and can even be worn by Link! So many different optional parts to really bring out the legendary world of Zelda in Nendoroid size!

Oooooohh!! (´□`。)

From The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D comes a Nendoroid of Link!! He is ready to use all sorts of masks to help him get through the mysterious world of Termina – a world that is set to be destroyed if Link doesn’t do something about it!

He is very different to the previously released Nendoroid Link: The Wind Waker ver. which had a more comical feel to it! This time around Link has a much more confident yet just as lovable expression! ♡

His hair neatly parted in the center as well as his characteristic pointed ears have all been transformed into Nendoroid form perfectly! (●´ω`●)

He also comes with his Hero’s Shield which is lovely and detailed, as well as his sword which can have the blade removed to be placed into the scabbard on his back for an alternate look!

Plus his classic green hat is separated into two parts – the back part can be moved around for different poses allowing you to match even his hat to any scenes you may want to pose! (・∀・)

For example, a combat pose might leave his hat fluttering behind him! 

It makes for a more realistic action scene!

He also comes with special shoulder parts that are used above, which allow you to pose him swinging the sword around more effectively! ☆

But this is just the start of Link’s optional parts! He comes with all sorts of optional parts that help to being out the Majora’s Mask universe! (`・ω・´)ゞ

Let’s take a look at each of the parts one-by-one! ♪


– Red Potion –

Anyone that has ever played a Zelda game will know the red potion! It is the standard recovery item for Link whenever he takes a bit too much damage! The bottle it is in is really cute, and the expression with the V-shaped smile also makes it look like he is drinking to a certain degree! (σ・∀・)σ

Plus his yellow fairy companion Tatl is also included! ♪

The wings make use of a partially translucent gradient that really brings out Tatl just as he looked in game!

 

– Bunny Hood –

A useful item that makes you move faster when worn!

The item was always cute in game, but in Nendoroid size it has even more of a fairytale-like look that makes Link look so very adorable! (*´Д`)=з

He also comes with bent legs that allow you to pose him as if running! ♪

 

– Masks –

The mask that when worn turns Link into a Deku Scrub…!

The Deku Mask ★

The strange round mouth area has been beautifully sculpted along with the black to brown gradient! The shades around the eyes have also been included to really recreate the sullen appearance! It’s kind of strange and yet at the same time rather cute!

Along with the Deku Mask, he also comes with the Goron Mask and Zora Mask! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Each of the masks has a little hole on the bottom allowing Link to hold it in his hand as you can see with the Deku mask above!  ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

But there is still one more mask…!

Majora’s Mask!!

The sinister yet still so colorful look of Majora’s Mask has been faithfully converted into Nendoroid head size, and can even be placed on Link as a kind of expression part! (/ω\)

By the way, the mask connects onto Link through use of a special attachment part that connects into his front hair part! The part is placed between his hair and then allows the mask to be connected onto the front of the expression!

△ It connects in very reliably! No worries about it falling off!

Even from the side you can’t see the attachment parts, so it really looks like he is wearing the mask!! 

His hair and pointy ears are still there… and yet nobody can see his expression…

You really can enjoy all sorts of fun and original scenes from the Legend of Zelda universe!! Be sure to add the cute hero to your collection! ☆

Nendoroid Link: Majora’s Mask 3D Ver.!

Nendoroid Ooyodo

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I spent some time playing table tennis during my Summer break which has left me with really stiff thighs… and by some time I mean about a total of one hour. I guess this shows just how unfit I am at the moment…!

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

Nendoroid Ooyodo!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the light cruiser, Ooyodo! She comes with three different expressions including her standard sideways glance, a confident expression as well as a combat expression! Her large ship parts are included in all their glory, and the Shiun aircraft can be set on both the ship parts on her back as well as the catapult on her arm.

Other optional parts clearly mark her as a flagship with parts such as a sea chart based on the one found during strategy meetings in the headquarters as well as a communication device. The quill pen and file seen during the ‘Mission’ menu screen in game is also included for her to hold. Nendoroid Ooyodo is filled with fun options and is ready to join your fleet!

Oooooh!! (●´ω`●)

The light cruiser that was specially designed as a flagship, Ooyodo is joining the Nendoroids! Her lovely long black hair and blue headband… not to mention the gentle eyes behind her bottom-only framed glasses! All the details that make Ooyodo herself have been faithfully shrunk into Nendoroid size!♡

Her rather unique skirt that shows off some thighs has also been faithfully preserved!

Personally I also love the creases in her skirt, as well as the armor on her legs!

Not to mention the huge seaplane hangar on her back!!

△The top of the hangar even features small yet detailed radars and towers!♪

The hangar has two lanes and even allows the included two seaplanes to be stored inside!!

Anyway, let’s take a look at her other expressions! (。・ω・)ノ゙

“Just as planned!”

A smiling expression just brimming with confidence!

Those eyebrows and the V-shaped mouth are so cute! ♡

The standard expression from the first few photos and this expression definitely both bring out a rather different side of Ooyodo’s personality! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Also note the catapult to launch planes on her arm… you can even see that one of the planes is connected and ready for take off!!

“Aim, and… FIRE!”

She also comes with a more serious combat expression! 

Combined with the included shooting effect parts you can recreate some epic naval warfare! She also comes with bent leg parts that allow for more dynamic looking poses! ♪

By the way, the hangar on her back is connected with a double Nendoroid joint that attaches to her hips! This makes it easy to match the hangar parts with various poses! ★


△ The joint makes it easy to move the hangar in almost any direction needed! ♥︎

Plus the ship parts can also be removed! 

This expression suits her so perfectly!! (´□`。)

You can even pose her as if pushing her glasses up with the specially included hand parts!! The file that she holds on the ‘Mission’ screen is also included for her to hold as a Nendoroid!

Plus as you may have noticed, she also has headphones here to intercept communications!

In addition, this part is also included…!! <○><○>

Yep! This transceiver is also included!!

But that’s still not all – the sea chart based on the one found during strategy meetings in the headquarters is also included to allow your fleet to plan their attacks! (`・ω・´)ゞ

△ The glasses push parts can also be sued to hold the ear-piece!

In addition to the file a quill pen is also included, allowing for even more posing possibilities! ♡

△The headphone parts connect between the hair parts and can be removed.
Also note that the simple yet easy to use table part that has been featured in various photos above is also included! Taking a look at all the parts together let you see just how much is included! That’s quite some volume!!

Enjoy her in combat mode or headquarters mode!! ★

Either way, be sure you don’t miss out adding her to your collection! (σ・∀・)σ

So many optional parts to swap and enjoy!

Nendoroid Ooyodo!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!! ☆

As usual, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a special Nendoroid stand and special box sleeve!

※ The sleeve design will be revealed at a later date.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The other day I made a short outing to a certain café somewhere in Akihabara!

The 5th floor of this building, the…

The café is currently running an IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS special collaboration café! (。・ω・)ノ゙

===============================

Today I’m going to be writing a little review of my visit to the café! (。・ω・)ノ゙

 

– 1 – The Menu!

Before you even get to the menu, the first thing you see when you get to your seat is this lovely table mat filled with your favorite idols! ★

This is a CANDY ISLAND Seat!

Unfortunately you can’t select which seat you will be placed at, so you have to hope that you get a seat that features your favorite characters! Here are a couple of other options that you might end up at… ♪

△ It’s like looking at a photo album of the past!!

Anyway, let’s take a look at the menu!

△ Simply fill in what you want on the provided order sheet!

Here is a look at what is available on the menu!
You can see the full version over here!


△ So much too choose from! It look me ages to decide….

Eventually I decided on the following! 

· Uzuki Shimamura’s Pink Fruit Juice
· Onegai! Cinderella
· Producer’s Cappuccino
· Decoration Muffin
· Rin Shibuya’s Chocolate Parfait 

I really couldn’t decide on a drink and ended up ordering three different ones…

– 2 – Exploring the café!

Once you’ve placed your order feel free to get up and take a look around the café… even overhead there are a number of idols to enjoy, all looking down upon you!

※ Please note that the setting photos in the store are not allowed to be photographed.

As usual there is also a special notebook to leave behind a message in! Be sure to add a little message or illustration while waiting for your order to arrive!

△ Stationery is provided!

You will also find a variety of  IDOLM@STER figures from GSC, Max Factory and Phat! Company figures to take a look at while you’re waiting! ♡

 

– 3 – Time to Indulge!

After looking around the café for a bit time passes really quickly! My drinks had arrived in no time at all! ☆

Let’s try them one-by-one! (*´Д`)=з

– Uzuki Shimamura’s Pink Fruit Juice –

Guava Juice + Whipped Cream + Cherry!

The included heart-shaped coaster is Shimamuu with an adorable smile on her face!

I really love guava juice and you don’t seem to find it in many places! This one was just as delicious as ever! The whipped cream adds a little touch of sweetness to enjoy! ♪

– Onegai! Cinderella –


Blue syrup + yogurt drink + yoghurt ice-cream
+ whipped cream + marzipan flower! 

The drink is also provided in a limited edition collectable glass which makes it all the more special! ♪


△ The girls all around the glass! (●´ω`●)

As for the flavour… it was my very best of them all!! ♥︎
It was so refreshing for a hot Summer’s day!!

△ The pink flower is also edible!

The bonus included with the drink is a ‘Cinderella Project’ Sticker!
I decided to stick mine onto my work computer!

Moving on to the last drink I ordered…

– Producer’s Cappuccino –


Cappuccino + 346 Production Wafer Cake

The cappuccino has quite an impact! <○><○>

I figured that after two cold drinks I would want a warm drink which is why I saved this for last…! That and I might have wanted the bonus that’s included with it…

Which is this…!

Oooooooohhh!!!

Now I’m officially a producer of 346 Production!! (*´Д`)=з

I will shut this away in my business card holder for future use!

* No business card holder included.

While enjoying my three drinks,

My food and dessert had arrived!

– Decoration Muffin –

English muffin + star-shaped ham + potato salad + tomato + corn!

A muffin for lunch!! I feel all classy!!

The muffin not only looked amazing, but was also crisp and delicious!

The star-shaped ham also had a very luxurious taste to it! *nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

– Rin Shibuya’s Chocolate Parfait –

Chocolate ice cream + mint + whipped cream + brownie + flower chocolate + dragees!

There is so much to say about this parfait!

There is so much ice cream on the top, but even once you get through all that you also have a lovely chocolate brownie waiting for you! ♡

They sat that you have a second stomach for dessert… but this parfait is rather large! Sure to full even the largest of dessert stomachs! (´□`。)

 

 

– 4 – Goods!

There are all sorts of cute goods near the registers! ☆

Including the glass that the ‘Onegai! Cinderella’ drink came in!

Clear files, marshmallows and badges featuring Nendoroid illustrations!

Plus there are items based on Phat!’s Medicchu illustrations!

All sorts of goods to choose from!! っ(`・ω・´)ゞ

Nendoroid Snow Mikudayo-

Chilled
Mikudayo-!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this figure that went up for preorder today…

Nendoroid Snow Mikudayo-!

From the ‘Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku’ comes a Nendoroid of the rather conspicuous character based on Hatsune Miku, finally in her Snow version! Her strangely thin and flappy twin-tails have been decorated with snowflakes to bring out the snowy theme perfectly!

Optional parts include some oden, a meal perfect for the colder Winter months as well as Mikudayo-‘s favorite food – tuna sushi! She also comes with the Snow Miku Caramel that was on sale at the Snow Miku Skytown at New Chitose Airport, as well as the popular ‘Berry parfait with premium soft-serve ice cream made from the milk of Shibecha brown Swiss cattle’ that was sold at the MIRAI.ST cafe in Sapporo! She has so many delicious things to enjoy meaning that you get to enjoy a really happy, snowy Mikudayo-!

Ooooohhh!! (´□`。)

The mysterious Mikudayo- that people fall in love with before they know it is being released in a snow version!! ☆

– Previous Mikudayo- Figures – 

☆ Nendoroid Petite: Mikudayo-
★ Nendoroid Mikudayo-
★ 1/8th Scale Mikudayo-

☆ Nendoroid Sakura Mikudayo-

But anyway, let’s get back to today’s snowy version! ♪

As you might expect from the name, this Mikudayo- has all sorts of relations to snow! (。・ω・)ノ゙

In addition, her miniskirt, arm covers and rather plump boots have all been given a shiny silver coating!! ε=(。・д・。)

The same thin and flappy twin-tails that fans have come to love have been coated with beautiful snow flakes, also a lovely silver color!

But anyway, let’s move onto her optional parts!!

– Oden –

Konjac, fried tofu and fish sausage!
The three main parts of oden! ♡

Dayo-san will be happy to share her love for oden by pushing it into the mouth of her friends!

… I for one would be happy to enjoy some oden with her! ♪

– Salmon Sushi –

This shine! This color! Salmon Sushi!!

Just look how her eyes shine when she holds the sushi in her arms!!(●´ω`●)
She even comes with special arms to let her hold it like this!!

– Snow Miku Caramel –

A very slim and cute Snow Miku drawn on the package of a ‘Snow Miku Caramel: Milk Flavour’!  ♥︎

This is an actual product being sold at various places including Snow Miku Skytown at New Chitose Airport!

Her hand features a little bump that can be used to hold up the Snow Miku Caramel like above!

– Triple berry parfait – 

The actual official name of these parts comes from something found on the menu of the MIRAI.ST cafe in Sapporo – the triple berry parfait with premium soft-serve ice cream made from the milk of Shibecha brown Swiss cattle!

A cute parfait glass filled with ice cream and berry colors! Looks delicious!! ♪

Mikudayo is clearly trying her very best to carry it without dropping it… but as it connects to her hand there is a very small chance that that will ever happen!

– Greedy Mode! All the Food! –

Dayo-san surrounded by food…

… I don’t think she could be happier…!

It may seem a little strange to be announcing a Snow Mikudayo- in the middle of Summer… but she will be ready for release right about when Winter comes around! Imagine all the Winter memories you can make! ♪

Add a chilled Mikudayo- to your collection!

Nendoroid Snow Mikudayo-!

She is currently up for preorder! ♪

Nico Yazawa: Picnic Girl

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

A lunch box and flask in a picnic basket… (・ω・ノ)ノ!
This can only mean that today’s review is of…

The 1/8th Scale…

Nico Yazawa: Picnic Girl!♡

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Nico Yazawa. The figure is a part of the LoveLive! Cafe Campaign in AKIHABARA, where fans all over Japan voted on which LoveLive! character is best suited for a picnic in the early Summer – the character that you would most like to go on a picnic with! The winner of the contest was Nico Yazawa, who then had this special illustration drawn of her to commemorate the victory!

Now that illustration has been transformed into a figure which shows off Nico’s healthy and energetic body, as well as her dynamic pose that instantly catches the eye! The cute smile on her face is sure to make anyone who looks her way feel uplifted and ready for another day!

Nico Nico Nii~♡

The adorable ‘Niconii’ also known as Nico Yazawa has been made into a 1/8th scale figure filled with energy and with a cute, playful smile across her face! The figure is a part of the LoveLive! Cafe Campaign in AKIHABARA, where fans all over Japan voted on which LoveLive! character is best suited as picnic girl and Nico took the top spot which lead to this illustration of her being drawn! Now the lovely illustration has also been transformed into a figure for fans to enjoy!!

The figure allows you to see the reverse side too!

One of the things that figures will always have over illustrations is that you can look and enjoy from any angle you please! Nico is posed with one leg lifted high off the ground showing her agile body as well as just how active a character she is, and her trademark twin-tails are also blowing about in the wind around her! ☆

Of course all this movement is bound to show on her outfit as well, and as you can see the camisole and pink jacket she is wearing are moving around together with her energetic movement! (/ω\)

The clothes look so soft and realistic…!

Sometimes looking at these figures I really forget that they are made from a hard material! The sculpting really makes her clothes look like they are made from fabric and will be soft to the touch! Σ(・Д・」)

Also note the detail on the zip! Even the teeth are amazingly intricate!

But the details are about more than just her outfit…!

The lovely curves and agile body that allow Niconii to thrive as a member of μ’s have been faithfully preserved on the figure! You could almost say she looks to be dancing right in the pose!  (`・ω・´)ゞ

The camisole outfit gives a nice look at her healthy looking stomach and all the curves around it! No one can doubt this is the body of an idol! Scale figures really capture a character down to the finest of details, and looking at those details can really be enjoyable!

Anyway, let’s move on and take a look at her amazing expression! ♫

She’s so cute…!

The slightly mischievous look in her smile brings it all together! It’s perfect! The somewhat sideways glance of her eyes is also beautiful!

Even the smaller accessories like the pink scrunchie tying up her hair and the sunglasses are so nicely sculpted and painted to really bring out her cute expression to the fullest! (●´ω`●)

But there are other intricate areas that I haven’t touched on yet, for instance…

The Picnic Basket!

△ Two lunch boxes and a canteen! Ready to have a picnic with you!
The items can also be removed from the basket!

△ The details on the weaving of the basket itself is also lovely!

Her Feet!
△ The lifted up foot has the shoe’s sole faithfully sculpted!
△The loose socks around her ankles bring out the innocent side of Nico! 

The included circular stand features Nico’s name as well as a refreshing, Summertime look! The colors makes me think of being under some trees!

Her expression really is adorable, but everything else about the figure is also an absolute pleasure to look at! From the smaller accessories to her outfit and of course the lovely curves of her body – it’s an item that no Nico fan should be without! (´□`。)

Keep a cute Nico Nico smile by your side!

Nico Yazawa: Picnic Girl!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 10th August 2015! 

Check out the GSC site then for more details!!

Nendoroid Shirou Emiya

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I am being ruthlessly attacked by more and more mosquitoes with each passing night! Ah, the wonders of Summer!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a figure currently up for preorder…

Nendoroid Shirou Emiya!

From the popular anime series ‘Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]’ comes a Nendoroid of Saber’s master and the main character of the story, Shirou Emiya! He comes with three expression parts including a gentle smiling face, a confident face for combat as well as a blushing, embarrassed expression.

His weapons of choice, the twin swords Kanshou and Bakuya are both included as well as rolled up poster infused with magic. A selection of the included arm parts are specially articulated allowing for more impressive combat scenes to be posed, even in Nendoroid size! Enjoy the Fifth Holy Grail War shrunk down into Nendoroid size!

“I hope you have enough weapons available!”

The hero of justice who strives to make everyone happy! The Homurahara Academy second year student Shirou Emiya is joining the Nendoroids! He also comes with his swords Kanshou and Bakuya… although even wilding them he still looks rather harmless!! This is why he is known as the gentle hero of justice!!


△ From the back he definitely looks ready for battle!

He also comes with another weapon as an optional part! The  rolled up poster infused with magic that he used in the fight against Lancer!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

He even includes special arm parts to display him ready to depend himself! ☆

By the way!

His standard arm is fitted with a non-standard point of articulation that allows for slightly more movement, which means you can move the swords around like so!

Of course the shoulder section is also movable like any other standard Nendoroids, and the combination of those two moving parts actually allows for lots of poses that work even for combat scenes! (`・ω・´)ゞ

△ Slightly bent leg parts also add to the dynamic effect! ♪

The combat expression above also has another alternate use!

He comes with a hand part that displays him making use of his command spell – the ability to command one’s servant with absolute obedience!

Look at the details of the mark on his tiny hand!!

Looking at a bit of an angle also allows you to see the eyebrows often covered by his hair rather nicely! It’s amazing how much a small and cute figure can capture such a strong will within the expression!! 

Finally, his third expression is quite a jump from the serious expression above…

An embarrassed expression!

Awwwwwww!!! (´□`。)

A complete change from the last expression! The way he is scratching his cheek also captures Emiya so perfectly!! I just had to display him with a certain ‘Red Demon’…! ♥︎

Displayed together with Nendoroid Rin Tohsaka!

The combination of their two embarrassed expression really gets the imagination running!! Anyway, you can see that you can easily pose both epic fighting scenes as well as the more gentle everyday life side of Emiya’s life! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Who is he getting ready to fight against now…?!

That’s for you to decide once he joins your collection!! Be sure to display him with the other Fate Nendoroids!

A cute and tiny Hero of Justice!

Nendoroid Shirou Emiya!

He is currently up for preorder!

Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 45: Hero’s Edition

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m becoming better and better friends with my air conditioner almost every day! I don’t think I’d get through this Summer without you by my side…!

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

Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 45: Hero’s Edition

From the hit film ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ comes a Nendoroid of Iron Man Mark 45! The Mark 45 features a brand new sculpt in order to faithfully bring out the changes between all the previous Iron Man armors. The paintwork also features a new composition to provide more depth to the colors of the armor.

This time around the included Tony Stark faceplate has a more confident, serious look on his face. Just like the previously announced ‘Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 43: Hero’s Edition + Ultron Sentries Set’ he comes with a variety of effect parts as well as an alternate front and back head part to display him without his helmet. Various options for all sorts of fun!

The included stand is based on the final battle scene from the series, and can be combined with the base included with the upcoming ‘Nendoroid Captain America’ in order to complete the full circular base! When the two bases are connected together they form a large dioramic base that really brings out the atmosphere of the series for fans to enjoy!

Oooooohhh!! ₍ (ง >ω<)ว ⁾⁾

The Iron Man Nendoroid series continues to get upgraded to the next version! The 45th armor that had a rather large role in the movie ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ is also joining the Nendoroid series! ☆

This time around the suit definitely has a more dense feeling of red to it compared to the previous versions!! (/ω\)

The jumps between colors and the intricate little details of the body are all beautifully done!!  Even from the back he looks amazing!!

How can something so cute and tiny be so epic looking?!

The Nendoroid is fully articulated meaning that if you balance him carefully you can easily balance him like this! As I mentioned before, the detailed lines of the sculpt are incredible – take a close look at his back as well as the area around the knees here!! <○><○>

As with the previous models he also comes with arm and leg effect parts for flying and combat scenes! 

△ Fully articulated & twistable hip section for all sorts of poses!

Those of you who have been paying attention may have already noticed, but this version of Iron Man also comes with a rather special base!

If you’ve seen the film or even the trailer you might recognise this!

It’s a base made in the image of the climax scene of the film! You can actually see it in the 90 second Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailer at around the 80 second mark!

This is only half of the base…
but the other half is coming!!

ca_kaho

The second half of the base will be included with…

Nendoroid Captain America!

He will be following Iron Man shortly!!☆

He is currently still in production, but as soon as I have any news about him I’ll be sure to share it with everyone!!

Anyway, let’s get back to Iron Man!! ( つ•̀ω•́)つ

Once again he comes with a special left leg part that allows you to recreate the famous landing pose with him punching into the ground!

You can see the turnable chest are also helps a lot in making this pose look great! ♡

Additionally, the Mark 45 also comes with an all new Tony Stark expression part to show off his unmasked form too!

This time he looks serious and ready for business!

Mr. Stark might best be known for his more sarcastic and funny expressions, but he can at times be rather serious as well! An alternate back and front hair part is also included allowing you to display him with the helmet completely removed!  ♪

Simply choose whatever you think suits him best!! ε=(。・д・。)

Enjoy the Avengers: Age of Ultron universe right by your side!
Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 45:
Hero’s Edition

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Plus…

The Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 43: Hero’s Edition + Ultron Sentries Set is also currently up for preorder! The deadline has been extended for fans to grab both the suits in one order!

This version includes the eye-catching Ultron Sentries base!

Of course you can also display the new Iron Man with the Mark 43’s base!

△ There are so many possibilities to create stories here!!

Be sure to consider them both when checking out!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Shimakaze: Major Damage Ver.

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at an item up for preorder from AQUAMARINE…

Shimakaze: Major Damage Ver.!☆

From Kantai Collection -KanColle- comes a 1/8th scale figure of the destroyer, Shimakaze! She has been sculpted in her major damage version with a look of surprise and embarrassment on her face as her clothes and socks are torn away at the damage!

The original illustration from the game has been faithfully sculpted into figure form, even including the three cute Rensouhou-chan characters also taking damage around her! Be sure to dock her into your navy base!


“Hawaa~! I never thought they’d manage to hit me…!”

The ship that boasts one of the top class speeds of all the Kanmusu, Zekamashi aka Shimakaze has been transformed into a rather revealing major damage scale figure by AQUAMARINE! (´□`。)

The figure is filled with so many points where you just can’t see that little bit further… it plays with your imagination so very well!! Let’s take a look from a couple of different angles and you’ll get exactly what I mean!

This is how she looks from the back!

As she is posed with her legs lifted up, the figure does have a bit of a compact feeling to it… but then when you look at the long hair flowing around her ship parts and all the Rensouhou-chans that are posed around her, you’ll notice that there is a lot more volume to the figure than first meets the eye! (。・д・。)

A look from the side shows her ship parts nicely!

Plus it also shows off even more of the major damage!

I won’t say too much, but as you can see even the areas that were never visible in the original illustration have been carefully thought out for the figure’s design! ♪

The rather unique pose with her hips thrust forward is also very enjoyable from the side! This is what makes the world of figures so enjoyable!!

You can enjoy Shimakaze from all sorts of different angles! (●´ω`●)

Another area that really grabs my attention is the way the skin sinks in around her torn knee-high socks!!

Plus the curves of her hips, stomach and chest…

Her belly button is also perfect!!

Also take note of her expression! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Shimakaze is normally very confident, so at times like this she has a cute little blush on her face! That pouting expression is so cute too!She’s trying so hard to hide it, which is just the way I like it!!

The three included Rensouhou-chans are also all adorable!

△ The screws on the back and even their little arms have lovely details!

Not only do you get to enjoy Zegamashi-chan, but all three of the Rensouhou-chans as well!

Be sure to take a nice close look at them once they join your collection! ☆
Filled with details and a pleasure to look at from any angle!

The 1/8th Scale…

Shimakaze: Major Damage Ver.

She is currently up for preorder! ♡

Nendoroid Kotori Minami: Training Outfit Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m so clumsy with my hands that I have managed to cut more of my actual clothes instead of the threads I meant to cut in home economics classes… the scissors were so sharp I didn’t notice until it was far too late…!

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

Nendoroid Kotori Minami:
Training Outfit Ver.

 

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a Nendoroid of Kotori Minami wearing her training outfit! She comes with two expressions including a lovely smile as well as a cute pleading expression that no one could say no to!

She also comes with a Nendoroid sized version of the sketchbook she uses to plan the μ’s members outfits and 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!♪

Kotori-chaaan!! (´□`。)

The innocent and relaxed Kotori Minami is joining the training outfit series of LoveLive! Nendoroids! ♥︎

She is the third in the series following on from Honoka-chan and Umi-chan! 

1st: Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka: Training Outfit Ver.

 

 

2nd: Nendoroid Umi Sonoda: Training Outfit Ver. 

△ Currently up for preorder! ☆

 

 

Anyway, let’s get back to Kotori-chan! Starting off with her clothes!


Her outfit has a super frilly skirt and an off shoulder top! Even the frills on the ends on the outfit have been carefully included on the Nendoroid design!  ♥︎

The arm and leg warmers match up with the outfit nicely too! Excellent color coordination!

Not that we expect anything less of the μ’s outfit designer! ε=(。・д・。)
She even comes with a sketchbook showing off her latest designs!

Thanks to the support of the publisher, the sketchbook makes use of exact data from the actual series!

The outfit from Honoka, Umi and Kotori’s first stage, ‘START:DASH’!!♡

It’s all thanks to this sketchbook that the μ’s members have such cute outfits!

Anyway, let’s take a look at Kotori-chan’s alternate expression – a pleading expression!! ☆

It’s so cute!! (●´ω`●)

Noone would say no to that face!

It also reminds me of a certain scene with Honoka-chan…!

The μ’s members are so much fun to display together! Plus by changing expression, arms and all the different angles they are placed at you really can create all sorts of different poses! ♪

△ Practising her singing! ★

By the way! You can of course use all of the original Nendoroid Kotori’s expressions on this version as well!  ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The blank looking expression suits her training outfit look father nicely! ♥︎

She also comes with the holding hand parts!

△ The holding hands are designed for use with the original series!

(・∀・) “There is one last thing I want to add!”

We’re joined by the figure’s planner – Hamako!!

(・∀・) “In order to recreate a certain popular scene, we actually specially altered her eyes a bit!”

Hmm? A certain scene??

(・∀・) “This one!”

I remember this from season one!! (・ω・ノ)ノ

Nendoroid Petite: LoveLive! Honoka and Umi-chan are in the background!

(・∀・) “In order to get this to work right, we added a small white line at the top of the eyes!”

Now that you mention it, there is something a little different to her standard eyes!!

△ This uses Nendoroid Kotori Minami‘s head part!

(・∀・) “It gives her a more… energetic and active feeling! I hope everyone enjoys using it!” 

Recreate your favorite scenes from the series or your own original scenes!

Nendoroid Kotori Minami:
Training Outfit Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Once again if you order from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you’ll receive a Special Nendoroid Background Sheet (Blue Sky) and Special Nendoroid Stand as a bonus! 

Once again a slightly different pattern to the one included with Nendoroid Honoka: Training Outfit Ver. and Nendoroid Umi: Training Outfit Ver.! What will they look like when all connected up together?! (°Д°;≡°Д°;)

Be sure to keep the bonus in mind when preordering! ♪
