Nendoroid Yu Nishinoya

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My favorite flavour of Garigari-kun ice cream is pear! I personally thought the corn potage flavour was okay, but I think stew flavour was taking things a little too far! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Yu Nishinoya!

From the volleyball manga series with two anime seasons, ‘Haikyu!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Karasuno High School volleyball clubs’ libero known as “Karasuno’s Guardian Deity” – Yu Nishinoya! He comes with three different expressions including a cheerful smile, a serious expression to display him concentrating on the match as well as a carefree grinning expression.

The Nendoroid is able to take various receiving poses and also comes with a volleyball and special base made in the image of a volleyball court. A sports towel and as well as alternate hair parts with his hair down are also included! Enjoy the reliable ‘Noya-san’ in your collection!

“I’ve got your back!”

“Karasuno’s Guardian Deity” the 2nd year libero of Karasuno High School’s volleyball club – Yu Nishinoya is joining the Nendoroids! A small body with unstoppable  passion hidden inside! ☆

Noya-san is easily the mood setter of the team, and that smile on his face shows why! The highlighted section of his hair, unique hairstyle, those short yet energetic eye brows and his slightly cat-like eyes have all been captured perfectly in Nendoroid size! ♪

Even from the back his hair is nice and pointy!


△ The Nendoroid stand is rectangular and make to look like a court! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The first thing I wanted to do was display him together with his senpai!!

Even as Nendoroids their heights have been considered making Noya-san slightly shorter, which kind of makes it look like he is looking up to Kageyama!! Noya-san is planned to be about the same size as Hinata!

Anyway, while the smile suits his playful and innocent personality rather nicely, he definitely needs something else to display him while playing a match! Which is why this serious expression is included!! (●´ω｀●)

An expression with his tongue out to one side in concentration as he looks ahead for the incoming ball!! You can even make good use of the stand to pose him diving for the ball like so!!

Just 2cm between the floor and the ball!! Only a real ace could manage to get the ball with such limited space!!! Just remember some of the amazing scenes from the series almost brings a tear to my eye!! ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚

I love the main storyline of them working as a team against the other schools, but the episodes that focus on each character as they build into a team… those episodes at the very beginning have always been my favorite!! After playing this Nendoroid I feel like rewatching the anime and rereading the manga… again! On the 16th December 2015 the Blu-ray & DVD of the Movie’s 2nd Part is going on sale, so perhaps I’ll finish off the year with a rewatch of the movie!

Anyway, let’s move on to his third and final expression…

A grinning expression!☆

Such a carefree smile!! (´□｀｡)

Just looking at his natural smile brings a smile to my face as well!! The way he is pointing at himself with his little thumb just makes the pose all the more better! Noya-san really suits the Nendoroid design so very well!! ♪

I’ve introduced his three different expressions now, but he actually comes with another very important part!! A special part that allows you to display him as he looked during the training camp…

Alternate parts to display his hair down! 

I never thought this rare sight would make it into the Nendoroid!!

I love his standard hairstyle, but the gap between the simpleness of this hair to his normal hair just makes it all the more of an impressive sight! (/ω＼)

He also comes with a towel to drape over his shoulders so you can really display him as if he has just come out of the shower with his hair down!! The sight was such a huge change at first that you could almost  mistake him for a child, but once you get used to it he actually looks rather cute! It’s a nice fresh look for him!! <○><○>


△ Recreate the famous scene with Hinata! ♪

Enjoy all the different sides of Noya-san! From his mood setting smile, a serious in-game pose or even some everyday scenes!!  ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Add  “Karasuno’s Guardian Deity” to your collection!

Nendoroid Yu Nishinoya

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♪

Plus orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Yu Nishinoya Guardian of the Smile Ver. as a bonus!

△ Will be shipped out together with your Nendoroid!

Be sure to consider the bonus when preordering! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Nendoroid Shiida: New Mystery of the Emblem Edition!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I instantly feel happy whenever I have delicious things to shovel into my mouth. I’m sure I’m just going to want to eat more as it gets colder too!! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Shiida: New Mystery of the Emblem Edition! 

From the popular game ‘Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem ~Heroes of Light and Shadow~’ comes a fully articulated Nendoroid of Shiida, the Princess of Talys, in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Fire Emblem series!
She comes with two expressions including her standard gentle smile as well as an attacking expression for when she is out in battle.

Optional parts include both an iron sword and iron lance to display her fighting with, as well as thrusting effect parts which together with the fully articulated design allow for all sorts of dynamic combat scenes! As a pegasus knight she also of course comes with her pegasus, and can even be displayed riding it for even more fun poses that bring out the world of Fire Emblem!

The princess of Talys is joining the Nendoroids!

Nendoroid Shiida has been made in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the RPG series that has captured fans hearts for many years – Fire Emblem!!

The intricate details on her shiny breastplate, her iron sword and the iron lance are all a pleasure to see!! Her cute smile and lovely long blue hair are also amazing, all coming together to create an amazing Nendoroid! ε=(｡・д・｡)


△ She is also a fully articulated Nendoroid with bendable elbows and knees! ♪

She is the second Nendoroid from the series, following on from Nendoroid Marth: New Mystery of the Emblem Edition who was announced back in September! ♪

△ Scheduled to released in May 2016!

They are definitely perfect to display together! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

But anyway, let’s get back to Shiida! As you have seen she comes with the lovely smile above, but she is a princess that also fights for what she believes in, and this she also of course comes with an expression for combat!

She looks so brazen heading into battle!

Such a turn from her gentle smile into this confident looking combat pose! As you can see she can also unsheathe the sword for battle!! (/ω＼)

Plus her pegasus is even included!!♡ 

The pegasus’ front left leg has a little bendable area to create different nuances!

You can  make some really fun poses with the pegasus!! Although it may seem a bit backwards, a saddle is included for when Shiida isn’t riding the pegasus – it makes him look all the more amazing just by himself! You do need to remove the saddle for Shiida to ride the pegasus though! 

Additionally, the head features a Nendoroid joint that can make him look up and down to better suit your pose! ♪

Making him look downward gives a bit of a sad look…

It’s always fun to try and create feelings just through different poses! The reigns are made from some artificial leather that can easily be bent around to ensure it will not get in the way of your poses!! ٩( ‘ω’ )و


△ Both wings and the tail also have ball joints to change the angles!

The Nendoroid may be fully articulated, but the pegasus also allows for all sorts of fun poses! If you put them together and sent them out to the front-line, then you can pose them in epic battle poses like this! (just make sure there are no archers!)

△Effect parts showing a powerful trust with the lance are also included!

After the battle they snuggle together in thanks!! 

△ Shiida’s hands fit the pegasus’ face so nicely!

As above you can recreate popular scenes straight out of the game, but you also of course have the ability to make original situations as far as the imagination can stretch!!  (´□｀｡)

Be sure to add her to your collection and have some Fire Emblem fun!! ♡

Add the cute Pegasus Knight to your collection!

1/7th Scale Felia

Today’s main feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/7th scale…

Felia!★ 

From the popular anime series ‘Comet Lucifer’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the mysterious young girl, Felia! The figure is based on the teaser visual shown when the anime was first announced, and shows Felia at the moment her clothes are being materialized.

Her feathery clothes make use of a semi-transparent material toward the ends for a beautiful feeling of translucence, while the wings have been sculpted one-by-one down to the finest of details. The included stand shows water flowing around her with mysterious power, bringing out the atmosphere of the series with even more highlights for fans to enjoy.

“The adventure begins now. A journey with you, friends and fate.”

From the original anime series ‘Comet Lucifer’ comes a beautiful figure of the character that Sougo meets deep underground Garden Indigo – Felia!

The mysterious feeling from the teaser illustration by Yuichi Takahashi has been carefully preserved in the figure that captures the vibrant young Felia’s charm!


△ The back gives a better look at the density of her wings!

As you can tell from the photo above, each of the wings has been individually sculpted then layered on each other! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

This is the Felia before her power came flowing out, meaning it is still the younger looking Felia!


△ Her healthy looking belly button sticks out nicely! ★

The figure really captures the curves and smooth skin of a growing girl!  (´□｀｡）

The gaps between the feathers that show off her bare skin really grab your attention, and remind you of Felia back at the start of the series!

You can even enjoy the little gaps from the back of the figure! ♡

△The back of the figure has a lot more volume than you’d imagine!

Her worried expression with furrowed eyebrows keeps that youthful appearance but also has a bit of a sorrow that adds a mature aspect to the figure.

Quite different to the innocent young image we have of Felia! It captures her character as the ‘mysterious young girl’ perfectly! ( ･ㅂ･)و ｸﾞｯ !

Also note the details that have been put into the power swelling around her feet as a stand! ★

The base is semi-transparent, creating a translucent look at just adds to the mysterious pose!

Plus this detailed sculpt is all hand sculpted! Apparently sculpting organic looking things is easier to do by hand!! The lower areas also have a light blue paint effect which contrasts against the completely clear areas to create a really beautiful effect! ♪

△ Each of her fingers and toes also look lovely!

Another point that I really want to point out is the color of her hair! The slight blue tint that slowly fades to purple makes it look like some kind of delicious candy!

△ A gradual gradient from the top all the way down to the tips.

It’s a product that captures both the character and the atmosphere of the series! Be sure to add the mysterious young girl to your collection!

1/7th Scale Felia!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ☆

Be sure to check the Good Smile Company website tomorrow for more details!

Also remember that the Guardian is also planned to join the GSA series next! 

Be sure to look forward to that as well!! If you are in Japan you can catch the series on TOKYO MX every Sunday at 22:30! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Nendoroid Plus: Hatsune Miku x CuteRody Pullback Cars

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have recently developed an interest in toys that can make sweets or do some other kind of cooking. Maybe I’ll buy one as a Christmas present! (for myself…)

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at this product from FREEing…

Nendoroid Plus: Hatsune Miku x CuteRody Pullback Cars!★

The famous toy horse created in Italy ‘Rody’ as well as the Nendoroid Plus series of Vocaloid characters are being released together as a collaboration project!

Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len and Megurine Luka are all available and each come with a CuteRody that matches up with their image color. The CuteRody horses are also made as pullback cars allowing you to give the Vocaloid characters an adorable ride as well!

◇　Hatsune Miku & CuteRody (Mint)
◇　Kagamine Rin & CuteRody (Lemon)
◇　Kagamine Len & CuteRody (Lemon)
◇　Megurine Luka & CuteRody (Peach)

A cute collaboration between Miku-san and Rody!

The pullback cars run off magnets for even more fun as well!! ♡

As soon as you insert the figures into the Rody-shaped pullback cars it will trigger the wind-up and they will drive along! ★

This is the same mechanism that was included with the Nendoroid Plus: Vocaloid Pullback Cars released back in 2010!

△ It was always so fun to watch them drive forward! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

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

Hatsune Miku & CuteRody (Mint)

The Rody matches her hair color perfectly! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

I love the fact that the one dot on the size has been changed into a musical note too! ♪

Kagamine Rin & CuteRody (Lemon)

A lovely yellow Rody to match with Rin-chan!

Rin-chan’s big ribbon has quite a powerful presence!

Kagamine Len & CuteRody (Lemon)

The same yellow Rody for Len as well! ☆

The Rody design really does have such a cute form!!  ( ๑॔˃̶◡ ˂̶๑॓)◞♡

♥︎ Megurine Luka & CuteRody (Peach)

A stylish pink to match the mature Luka-san! (/ω＼)

The Rody’s all have the same face, but some how the last one definitely seems to have a much more ladylike expression!!

Each of the characters has also been fully sculpted on the back as well, making them fully enjoyable as figures as well!!   ε=(｡・д・｡)

△ The chibi look of their hair is so cute! ♪
It kind of looks like Rody’s ears are on the characters from here!

Unfortunately as the samples I was taking photos of are still just prototypes I wasn’t able to capture the pullback movement, but it seemed like a waste not to have some kind of movement… so I decided to make a frame-by-frame GIF instead!

It was rather fun to make…! ☆

I actually made an even long er GIF, but it went over the file-size limit for the blog… so I had to give the cut version…（；∀；）

The actual products will of course only move forward when the character is in the seat, so don’t get the wrong idea from my playful GIF!

An adorable collaboration to join your collection!

They are currently up for preorder! ♪

Nadeko Sengoku: Medusa Ver.

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nadeko Sengoku: Medusa Ver.!♥︎

From the anime ‘Bakemonogatari Series Second Season’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Nadeko Sengoku in her medusa version. The figure is based on the cover illustration of the ‘Otorimonogatari Volume 2 / Nadeko Medusa (Part 2)’ Blu-ray & DVD.

The pose shows Nadeko as the Snake Goddess oddity with a cute smile together with a hint of madness on her face. Her white hair made up of snakes has been carefully sculpted to preserve the subtle movements, creating a dynamic scene with mysterious charm. The donation box, bottles of sake and money are all included as a part of the figure to bring out the original illustration as faithfully as possible for fans to enjoy!

“Welcome. Let me show you some love, Koyomi-oniichan.”

The polite and quiet Nanahyakuichi Public Middle School student has been transformed into a figure in her Snake Goddess Oddity form – recreating the rather memorable Blu-ray cover illustration!!

Her thin one-piece dress has been beautifully sculpted and even has the loose strap on her shoulder! The sitting pose also creates various creases along the fabric which are all faithfully sculpted onto the figure – even from the back!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ


△ You can really make out the curves of her body!

The hair that has transformed into snakes has also been intricately sculpted down to the tips! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Both the dress and the hair are blowing sideways in the wind, but the snake hair has another element of movement to it as well… it’s like each and every one of the strands is moving around on its own!!  I swear the longer you look at the tips of the hair the more it looks like there are actually snake faces on them!! ((＞д＜))

Although the one-piece dress has a rather childish design, the shoulder strap slipping off her shoulder and the fact that she has her knees held up so high give her a little bit of a mature charm as well! ☆

The middle of the dress that is tied up tight has the area filled with various creases and a darker shade that brings out the feeling of the fabric really effectively! ( ✧Д✧)!!

This is also GSC’s 10th figure from the Monogatari series of scale figures!! ♥︎
Here are all the figures released so far…

Hitagi Senjyogahara

Released January 2011

Nadeko Sengoku

Released August 2011

Released August 2013

Tsukihi Araragi

Released April 2014
(Also had an alternate color ver.)

Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade

Scheduled to release December 2015

Its quite rare for a single series to see so many scale figures from GSC!! This must be one of the longest on going series!

But anyway, let’s get back to Nadeko! Just look at that cheerful smile on her face as the white snake hair slithers about…

It’s a cheerful smile… but… but there is definitely something amiss about it!!

There are all sorts of hidden desires coiling about inside of that smile!! (/ω＼)

The package illustration had a kind of mysterious glow to the hair to give it an even more ‘non-human’ appearance, and this has been kept to a certain degree on the figure through the use of pearl paint on the hair! (●´ω｀●)

If you get the light right it looks like her hair is shining mysteriously, adding that same element the illustration had nicely!

Also note the details on the base she sits upon! The donation box has various wooden patterns making it look heavy, yet with that nice wooden beauty. The bottles of sake on the side are also all carefully made down to the details on the labels!! (・∀・)


△ The gradient paint of the wood is very pleasing to look at! 

You can even see the details of the structure inside the donation box!!

Such lovely attention to detail…!

We’ll be taking a look at her during the live broadcast tonight! Be sure to tune in if you can!! The head planner for the figure, Otanaka-shi will be joining us!! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Keep the smiling Snake Goddess Oddity by your side!

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

Nendoroid & figma Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.: Preview

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

It’s finally that time of the year again!

Time For Snow Miku-san!

The 2016 theme for Snow Miku was ‘Hokkaido Winter Sports‘, and the final choice for both the Nendoroid and figma versions of 2016’s Snow Miku was made by Kotatsu Otogi-san! ♥︎

The design for Rabbit Yukine was also by  Kotatsu Otogi!★

The winning design was decided during a live broadcast on the 22nd May 2015, where all the fans were able to voice their choice on which design should become Snow Miku 2016! Once again thanks to everyone who submitted designs as well as to everyone who took part in the selection process!!

The design this time was rather different due to the theme! How have the figure versions come out?! 

Let’s take a look at the Nendoroid first! Sculpted by Good Smile Company’s Kataharaitashi!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.

Snow Miku has reached its 7th anniversary this year, and once again this year’s design from piapro was decided by fans during a NicoNico Live Broadcast, and has been transformed into a Nendoroid! The theme this year was ‘Winter Sports’, and the winning design was this active, playful design illustrated by Kotatsu Otogi!

The knitted hat made in the image of an owl has been included with the figure as an actual Nendoroid-size knitted hat. She also comes with a variety of sporty goods including a snowboard, skiis with skii poles and goggles!

Rabbit Yukine is included once again also with a pair of goggles and a cute rabbit-eared hat! An alternate body part connected to the skiis is also included to display her in action, and a few other parts related to Winter sports are also included! Be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy playing in the Winter with this year’s Snow Miku!

I want to go out and play with her in the snow!!

The Sporty Miku-san surrounded with all sorts of Winter sporting goods!

I can’t wait to take her out into the snow and enjoy a Winter date with her!! But perhaps the item that catches the eye the most is the knitted hat – not a hat made from PVC but one made from actual fabric in Nendoroid size!!! It looks so nice and warm! Yukine’s hat isn’t made from fabric, but it also looks nice and warm and fluffy!ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

This is the alternate body that allows you to display her skiing together with Rabbit Yukine!! (●´ω｀●)

 

In addition to the Nendoroid, Max Factory will also be releasing a figma version!

figma Snow Miku: Snow Owl ver.

I can just imagine jumping around with them on the snow!

Just looking at that playful expression on her face makes me feel all excited! A taller version of this Miku sakes her look even more sporty than the Nendoroid version!

The figma also comes with skiis and various other Winter sports goods to enjoy in the snow!!

Her twintails this time around have a very dynamic appearance from the start, but seen she is perfect for action poses they are also fitted with joints that allow for more active poses like this! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

As mentioned on Hamako’s Twitter, these two items are currently on display inside the Snow Miku Street Car in Hokkaido! ♥︎

Just like last year I asked for some photos from Hokkaido and Hamako sent them through!! Let’s take a look at this year’s Snow Car!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

This year the design features not only photos of the Nendoroid and figma, but also the main visual illustration done by Mame no Moto! I know that I for one would get rather exciting seeing this driving around the city!!!

While the main colors of white and light blue keep that Winter feeling, the colorful snow flake patterns give it a really eye-catching design!! ☆

Then as if the cute street car wasn’t enough, these two figures were on display inside!!

△ A special display area made to look like a mountain of snow!!
I will be taking a closer look at the Nendoroid and figma before WonFes next year, so be sure to take a look at the reviews as well!! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Inside the car there are also SNOW MIKU 2016 event and figure adverts! (・∀・)σ

△ The adverts on the sides of the car are Snow Miku-related as well! ★

Plus…

A DIVA Module of the new Snow Miku too!!

She is looking as cute as ever this year!! I can’t wait to see her in action!! ♥︎

Once she is available you’ll be able to enjoy the module at all Project Diva arcade machines!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

The module is scheduled for December 2015!

Keep your eyes on the Weekly Diva Station for the latest updates!★

 

Plus… this year there was a special guest who made her debut at the street car…

Snow Miku Dayo-!

Nendoroid Snow Miku-san has finally been seen in her full size!!

She even managed to get her hands on a Nendoroid Snow Miku Dayo- which is scheduled to release next month!!

△ So… intense!!

I can’t wait to meet her in person!!

I’m sure she will come down to Tokyo at some stage for me to say hello!! (/ω＼)

This streetcar will be running in Hokkaido from the 22nd November 2015 until the 27th March 2016! ♪

As before, all the announcements in the train will also be switched to Miku’s voice actor, Saki Fujita-san! ♡

Nendoroid Hacka Doll #1

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m a big fan of Japanese mint oil! Whenever I’m feeling hot and bothered or really sleepy, a few drops always makes me advance a little further!

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

Nendoroid Hacka Doll #1!★

From the anime series ‘Hacka Doll the Animation’ based on the popular news app of the same name comes a Nendoroid of the cheerful, friendly and sometimes rather silly Hacka Doll #1!She comes with three expressions including a cheerful smile, an aroused expression as well as a crying expression. Optional parts include the tablet and secret sketchbook from episode one! Add the adorable Hacka Doll #1 to your collection and get ready to advance ahead of humanity!

“You will also be advanced!”

The anime series that came from a news application!! From the series that is currently airing, ‘Hacka Doll the Animation’ comes a Nendoroid of the main character, Nendoroid Hacka Doll #1! ♡

Her cheerful smiling expression together with the peace sign hands have both been converted into Nendoroid form perfectly!

The details on her futuristic outfit is also not to be missed!

The little details on her chest area and those heels! ♪

By the way, for those that are unaware, before this was an anime the ‘Hacka Doll’ application was a ‘personal entertainment otaku AI’ news app that would synchronize with your needs!! ★

The more you use the app, the more it learns about you in order to give you the best news catered to you – three times a day! You can find out more here: https://hackadoll.com/?p=app%E3%80%80

But lets get back to the Nendoroid and her optional parts! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

First up we have a tablet! ☆ 

This showed the recommended products in episode one! You may also notice that the ending card from wooser’s hand-to-mouth life displayed on the screen!! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！Anyway, let’s move onto her next expression…

Her aroused expression!

She is trying so hard to hide the blush, but you can see the feelings welling up inside her with that wobbly mouth!

The position of her eyebrows and the stark open eyes just complete the pose even more!!

The reason for the expression is of course…

The secret sketchbook! (/ω＼)

Even the inside has been faithfully reproduced on the Nendoroid!! I really enjoyed the reactions of all three Hacka Dolls during this scene!!

Plus as you may or may not have noticed, she also comes with an alternate hair part to display her front hair sticking up straight for poses like this!!  ( ✧Д✧) ｶｯ!!

Simply match the hair with your pose!

Buy anyway… Hacka Doll #1 is known to have all sorts of different expressions, and her third expression included with the Nendoroid is none other than…

A crying expression!! ( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )

Once again I absolutely love the shape of the mouth!! I want to enjoy this expression while enjoying some nice hot oden!! ☆

But wait! Hacka Doll is known to collaborate with other series!

Let’s see if we can recreate some of those collaborations in the Nendoroid world! ♪

PriPara!

Hacka Doll posed with Nendoroid Co-de Laala Manaka Twinkle Cyalume Co-de‘s body! ☆

Racing Miku

Displayed wearing Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2015 Ver. ‘s outfit! ★

It looks like she isn’t a very good driver though… ((＞д＜))

Wake Up, Girls!

Wearing the outfit from Nendoroid Mayu Shimada!☆

Somehow I feel really satisfied with this one! (●´ω｀●)

Miss Monochrome -The Animation-

Looking good dressed up as Nendoroid Miss Monochrome! ★

The monochrome outfit contrasts with her bright colors rather nicely! The ability to switch parts around between Nendoroids like this is so much fun!! ♪ Be sure to make your very own collaborations once she joins your collection! ♡

Enjoy the cheerful, cute, if somewhat silly Hacka Doll in your collection!

Nendoroid Hacka Doll #1

She’ll be up for preorder next week!! ☆

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Nendoroid Hacka Doll Badge Lv.5 as a bonus! Check out the product page next week for more details!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Hatsune Miku: mebae Ver.

Today’s Main Feature!!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at one of Max Factory’s items that is currently available for preorder…
Hatsune Miku: mebae Ver.!

A 1/7th scale figure of Hatsune Miku based on one of the works of popular illustrator mebae! The intricate curves and dynamic feeling of mebae’s illustration have all been faithfully preserved on the figure!

Her long winding twin-tailed hair, tutu, hair accessory and the lovely curves of her lean body have all been carefully sculpted to create a figure overflowing with charm. Enjoy the beautiful ballerina Miku as she takes the spotlight in your collection!

A powerful, beautiful ballerina Miku!!

The essence of mebae’s original illustration has been captured in this figure with such amazing accuracy, creating such a stunning work of art!! The toned body you’d expect of a ballerina together with the unique pose and lovely contrast of the light skin and dark outfit are simply amazing! Not to mention the gradient hair that even makes use of translucent parts…! The figure is packed with so many highlights to enjoy!! (/ω＼)


△ Such an amazingly dynamic pose!

As this time around Miku-san has been sculpted as a ballerina, the figure has a rather different representation of muscles and curves on the body! They’re such a treat for the eyes! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

They say that ballerinas make art with their bodies, and I think this figure is proof of that! Her fit body looks so lovely!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

The back also captures that beauty!! <○><○>

Look at those muscles and rib cage!!
Don’t you just wish you could slide your fingers along the bumps of those bones hidden underneath her smooth skin!!! This figure was actually sculpted by the esteemed sculptor, Shining Wizard @ Sawatika! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

A big thank you to Shining Wizard! As usual his intricate magic has me charmed!!

Anyway, let’s move down to her feet! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Her toes are opened out wide to support her entire body, and you can see the amount of strength put into each one of those detailed toes!!

Then we move onto the other foot which you would think would be more relaxed, but…


Even the toes on this foot are clearly strained with the tension of her performance!! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

Also take note of the twirls in her hair as they wind around her arm here! Such a bold and beautiful pose that really captures a tense, dynamic moment of her performance!

However, even though she has a very fit body and is captured in such a moment, the soft, feminine curves of her body are also a beautiful sight!♥︎

The tense appearance of her hands and legs are strangely contrasted by her soft looking thighs and chest!!

The slight red shading on the bending areas of her elbows, knees and shoulder also makes her seem so very alive!!

A perfect rendition of mebae’s original illustration!

△ Keeping the charm of this illustration in the world of figures! A true wizard! 

Now let’s take a closer look at her hair! ♪

The ends make use of a semi-see-through parts that gives a translucent appearance along the beautiful gradient!

The sculpting is without a doubt incredible, but the coloring is also simply astounding! The combination of the two creates an absolute work of art!

I was honestly a little worried when I saw the figure unpainted as I didn’t know how the hair would come out on the colored version… but I wish I could go back in time and stop myself for worrying for absolutely nothing! It looks better than I could have ever imagined!

If you look close you’ll notice that the  frills of her multi-layered tutu actually also make use of translucent parts as well! It makes the dress look even lighter!

Plus as this is a tutu and not a dress that means that all these low angle shots are alright! These aren’t panty shots – just tutu shots!

I wish I had more time to cover more about this figure! The more you look at it the more amazing things you find!! Be sure to take a look at the product page where there is a 360° view where you can take a look for yourself!!

Outstanding beauty ready to be added to your collection!
Hatsune Miku: mebae Ver.!

She is currently up for preorder! ♥︎

Product Page: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5313/

Plus if you preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will also receive a poster illustrated by mebae as a bonus!!

Nendoroid Fubuki: Animation Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I feel like some anmitsu! But let’s just keep the size at regular this time! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Fubuki: Animation Ver.☆

From the anime series ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the main character – the destroyer, Fubuki! She comes with three expressions including a standard expression, a serious expression for combat scenes as well as a fawning expression.The effect parts included with most of the KanColle Nendoroid series have been included with Fubuki as well, but have been slightly modified toward the appearance in the anime! The popular sortie scene unique to the anime can also be recreated using the included parts! Enjoy all sorts of different scenes with Fubuki!

“Nice to meet you Admiral! My name is Fubuki!”

The first ship special destroyers and one with a strong sense of justice to boot! Fubuki is joining the Nendoroids! This is the first Nendoroid from KanColle to be based on the anime instead of the game – but with that said the Nendoroid still tries to keep the expression faithful to Shibafu’s original illustration as well as bring out the feeling of the anime’s designs! (*´Д｀)=з

A lovely sailor outfit with her skirt gently fluttering on the edges!

The strap over her shoulder that connects to the turret is made from soft faux-leather meaning it won’t get in the way of any of your poses! (・ω・)/

You can take a look at all of the previous KanColle Nendoroids and various other products over on the KanColle listing page below! ♪


http://www.goodsmile.info/en/kancolle

You can also see older commercials as well as posters for some of the products!

But anyway, let’s get back to Fubuki! Her first expression is the lovely smile that we started the blog off with, but then we have her second expression… 

“I’ll finish them off!”

A calm and collected combat expression! 

The determination of the first ship in the special destroyer fleet really comes out in those eyes! They are ready for combat and filled with a desire for justice!!

The cannon she holds in her hand also comes with effect parts to recreate a more dynamic action scene!! ☆

Now let’s take a look at her from the back!

The ship parts on her back have been shrunk down, but still have amazing detail!!

The little bit of tied-up hair on the back can also be seen here! It is even fitted with a ball joint for adding slightly different nuances to your poses!

Plus another item perfect for battle scenes…  

“Please hit!”

Torpedo effect parts with smoke and water splash effect parts to show the amazing sea battles! They are even specially adjusted to match the anime’s visuals! ★

It really feels like the figure should be jumping to life at any second!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ Brings out the KanColle atmosphere nicely! ♪

But then we move onto her third expression which is quite a jump from the serious combat expression!

A fawning expression! ♡

This expression… she could only be thinking of Akagi-senpai!

But it can also of course be used in all sorts of other situations as well! The only limit is your imagination! (●´ω｀●)

Plus she comes with another rather amazing part!!

Sortie Parts!! (´□｀｡)

Parts that definitely show that this Nendoroid is from the anime version! The name plate, chains and cogs from the scene are all faithfully included! I can just picture her heading out now!!!

This is how we interpreted the connection to the ship parts for the Nendoroid!!

△ The torpedoes on her thighs can move around like they did in the series too!

A special clear sheet to lay on the Nendoroid stand will also be included to recreate this part of the sortie scene as well!

△ Simply place on the stand for an even better rendition! ♡

In addition, if you preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will also receive a Special Anime Design Box Sleeve & Special Nendoroid Base! The special base will be specially tuned in color to match up with the clear sheet above!! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Enjoy recreating all sorts of scenes from the series and more!

Nendoroid Fubuki: Animation Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Be sure to check the Good Smile Company website for more information!

Rick Grimes & Blake Belladonna

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Ever since around the start of Autumn this year I have become quite addicted to chikuwa! The combination of the texture and taste is just perfect!! Nom nom nom!! (๑´ㅂ`๑)

Today I’ll be taking a look at two items!

Starting off with a figure from the Walking Dead…

Rick Grimes!

From the popular TV series that took the world by storm in 2010, ‘The Walking Dead’ comes a figure of the main character Rick Grimes based on his appearance in season five! The man who will make the most difficult of decisions to protect his friends and family from the Walkers has been made into an incredibly realistic 1/6th scale articulated figure!The figure stands approximately 30.5cm in height and features clothes made with real fabric, and a coat from synthetic leather. The outfit also has a slightly damaged look that shows some of the hardships he has been through since the Walkers arrived. Rick’s signature red handled machete, AKM Assault Rifle and Colt Python .357 revolver are all included as weapons, and he also comes with hand parts to hold each of them.

The reliable Sheriff Deputy in a ruined world!

From ‘The Walking Dead’, the post-apocalyptic zombie series where humans fight to survive against the ‘Walkers’ that have overrun the world, comes a figure of Rick Grimes played by Andrew Lincoln in the TV series!

His clothes are even made with real fabric for an amazingly realistic appearance!

The painful looking scar on his forehead, the texture of his skin and the hair from his moustache all the way to his head… everything is so detailed! (´□｀｡)

Not to mention the details on his boots…!

△ Even though the boots are normally covered by his jeans…! ♡

He also comes with a couple of items to help with his survival including the revolver above as well as this machete…

Plus an AKM Assault Rifle! (・∀・)

△ Displayed with the  THE WALKING DEAD Michonne’s Pet 1 (Green)
(Released 2014)

You can also holster the revolver at his hips when not in use! All these items plus the articulation allows for all sorts of different poses from the series!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Plus there is one more thing I want to point out!!

Revolver Ammunition!!

This can be found in the little pouches around his hips!! It’s so tiny!! You can’t actually place it in the revolver or anything, but the fact that a special pocket is included to hold it is more than enough for me! threezero really takes things as close to reality as possible!! (/ω＼)

△ The details on the back of his hand… those veins!!
Not to mention the texture and dirty look of his outfit!!

Bring out the world of The Walking Dead with amazing sculpting!

Rick Grimes!

He is currently available for preorder!

If you are in Japan you can order him from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP until the 2nd December at 21:00JST! If you’re located anywhere else be sure to take a look at the threezero store!

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

Next up I’ll be taking a look at a figure from the 3DCG anime RWBY…

Blake Belladonna!★

From the American animated web series by Rooster Teeth Productions, ‘RWBY’ comes a 1/6th scale action figure of the ‘Black’, Blake Belladonna! The show is set in the fictional world of Remnant, which is filled with supernatural forces. The series focuses on Team RWBY – a team of four girls which consists of Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long.Blake is a rather silent character with physical prowess that gives her a highly acrobatic fighting style. Her signature weapon is the Variant Ballistic Chain Scythe (VBCS) known as ‘Gambol Shroud’ which can transform between a chain-sickle, a pistol and a katana sword. The figure stands approximately 32cm in height, with an outfit made from real fabric. The paintwork is specially done to recreate the cell-shaded animation used in the series. ‘Gambol Shroud’ is included and can be displayed in its various different forms – an extended blade and pistol blade as well as a chain are all included. The black ribbon in her hair can be attached and removed and also features cat-ears behind it. She comes with three kinds of interchangeable hands including relaxed hands, clenched fists and hands for holding her weapons.

The cute and composed beast girl!

The American animated web series by Rooster Teeth Productions, ‘RWBY’  which had a Japanese dub version aired in theatres for 2 weeks this month! From that popular series comes an action figure of one of the RWBY team members, Blake Belladonna! ♥︎

*Photos taken here are of a sample model that did not include the ribbon on Gambol Shroud, but the ‘ribbon’ is included and can be seen on the product page photos!

Blake Belladonna also makes use of clothes made from real fabric, and the skin is painted to recreate the appearance of the 3DCG animation! This is actually the third figure in the series, following on from these two! ♪

 

– Ruby Rose –

 

– Weiss Schnee –

 

But anyway, let’s get back to Blake Belladonna! Her weapon of choice, the one-handed sword Gambol Shroud is included!

Parts to carry it on her back are also included!

Plus just like in the series, it can be split into two parts…

The gun version is also included for you to switch modes! ♡₍₍ ◝(・ω・)◟ ⁾⁾♡

△ All the epic action scenes from RWBY come to mind!

Here she is displayed with the heroine from the series, Ruby Rose!! ☆

Enjoy the RWBY universe in your figure collection! (●´ω｀●)

Blake Belladonna!

She is also currently up for preorder!

If you are in Japan you can order her from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP until the 2nd December at 21:00JST! If you’re located anywhere else be sure to take a look at the threezero store!
