Nendoroid Nozomi Tojo: Training Outfit Ver.

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

Nendoroid Nozomi Tojo: Training Outfit Ver.☆

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a Nendoroid of Nozomi Tojo wearing her training outfit! She comes with both a winking expression as well as a lively expression, made in the image of her shouting out as she predicts the future with her cards!

Optional parts include a video camera, microphone allowing you to display her creating videos of the other μ’s members! A special ‘holding hand’ part is also included for use with the ‘Ima wa Bokura no Naka de’ LoveLive! Nendoroid series! Be sure to display her with the other Nendoroids in the series!
The easy-going spiritual girl! ♥︎

The μ’s member who provides emotional and spiritual support to all the others! Nozomi Tojo is joining the Nendoroids in her training outfit!!

Her long twin-tails that could easily be her most charming feature are looking lovely, and the open mouth on this expression has a bit of a sexy appeal to it! As with the previous Nendoroid, her ample bosom is even noticeable in Nendoroid size!

Her training outfit has also been transformed into Nendoroid size perfectly – from the tied up section of the bottom of her top to the intricate frills on her short pants! ♪

The winking expression makes her look like she is trying to persuade someone to do something… and perhaps is best suited when facing the first or second year students!

Displaying the μ’s members together allows for all sorts of fun situations!

This marks the 8th character in the training outfit series!

 

This leaves one last character, sure to be here soon with a smile!! ♥︎

Anyway, let’s get back to Nontan!!

Her first expression was the rather compelling winking face, but let’s move on to her second expression…

“That is what the cards have told me!”

The shouting expression she gave while reading the cards!!

The open mouth together with those wide open eyes and her arms outstretched… she has clearly seen something most profound!! You can also see that the dolman sleeves of her top are preserved with a more slack appearance compared to most Nendoroid sleeves! ♪

Her twintails not only have Nendoroid joints at the end, but also have simple articulation at the ties allowing for different nuances- such as her aura blowing her hair about while she reads the cards!

She also comes with some other parts that sort the expression rather well!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ


A video camera & microphone! 

She looks confident that she will not miss anything now that she has her camera ready! Alternatively you can switch to the winking expression for a more relaxed filming time! ♪

Elicchi is a little embarrassed with the camera, but still plays along!!

It’s really so easy to make a story out of the characters once they are together! Another thing to remember is that Nendoroids can for the most part switch expressions between other Nendoroids… which means you can also use the expressions from Nendoroid Nozomi Tojo on this version for even more options… such as…

Use her mischievous expression with the camera to display her ready to cause some trouble with the other members! ☆

Alternatively you can use Nendoroid Nozomi Tojo‘s friendly expression with the training outfit…

To display her practising for her next performance!! ♥︎

With both the expressions included with this version as well as the previous version, you can really enjoy so many different sides of Nontan!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

△ Posed just before ‘washi washi’ time… (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

She also comes with bent and other interchangeable arm parts which together with the different hands allow for other completely fresh poses! ♪

Whether you have the original Nendoroid Nozomi or you just want to get this one, you have all sorts of different possible poses and situations to be had!

Add the spiritual girl to your collection in her training outfit!

Nendoroid Nozomi Tojo: Training Outfit Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ☆

As with all the previous Nendoroids in this series, she also comes with holding hands parts designed for use with the original LoveLive! Nendoroid series!

△ Connect the hands of the original Nendoroids together!

In addition, if you preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will also receive a Special Nendoroid Background Sheet (Night Sky) & Special Nendoroid Stand ♪


△ A lovely full moon, stars and clouds ! ♥︎

Be sure to keep the bonus in mind when preordering! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Also don’t forget about this item currently up for preorder…

Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag & Eye Mask LoveLive! Ver.

From the anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a special Nendoroid Pouch made in the image of the members of μ’s! In addition, an all new eye mask for Nendoroids is also included as a set! Place your favorite LoveLive! Nendoroid in the pouch and carry them around with you wherever you go!

Here is an example how how it can be used with one of the older Sleeping Bag designs!! You can preorder here: http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/gscgdswd00233.html

 

Make sure you don’t miss out!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Kahotan Post Office: Perfect Date Edition – Part 2

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I bit my lips and now they’re sore… drinking delicious warm drinks makes them sting… _:(‘Θ’ 」 ∠):_

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the ‘Perfect Date’ photos that everyone has been sending through to me!! A big thank you to everyone who took the time to send me their photos! There were so many different themes and interesting dates!! It was all so much fun to read!!

I have been introducing some photos on the blog day-by-day, but I decided I needed another blog to introduce a whole bunch at once! Be sure to take a look at the last Kahotan Post Office blog for more of the same theme!!  Let’s get started! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

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

I’m a Canadian and my brother and I love collecting Nendoroids! (Particularly Touhou Nendoroids in my brother’s case!)

This Perfect Date photo was taken in my brother’s ‘Nendoroid Zone’! My Suiginto-tan and his Shinku-chan are enjoying a tea time date! My brother tells me the scenario, and I arrange the figures and take the photos.

– Lunapyan

A teatime date between Shinku and Suiginto! Lovely!! (/ω＼)♥︎

The background set and little parts also add such nice detail to the setting! I can just imagine the two of them talking!!

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

~House Date~

“Are these the kind of girls that boys like?”, Miku-chan says with a sad look on her face.

Don’t worry! You’re more than cute enough, Miku-chan!! (＾＾;)

– Kingyou 

The pouting Miku-chan is so cute that I want to pull her over through the screen!! Oh, the insecurities of a beautiful maiden!! ((＞д＜))

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

A beautiful and romantic moment of Nendoroid Kirito and Asuna as they shared their first kiss under the cherry blossoms tree.

– kixkillradio

…I hope they’re happy together forever!! (I’m not crying, I swear!)

I never thought I would see such an emotional scene as this with Nendoroids!! _(:3 」∠)_

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

Don’t you just love it when someone dear to you makes an ordinary day special?

– Banana Shake

Turning an ordinary day into a special day!! How romantic!! (*Blushing

It’s like a scene straight out of a Shoujo manga! °・(ノД｀)・°・

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

Went to some botanical gardens here in Australia and wanted to bring Kashuu on a date! I’m sure he’d like seeing all the pretty flowers, even if he’s the prettiest around!

– floro

Thank you for the lovely photo and the love-filled comments about Kashu Kiyomistsu!! I think I need to make a new theme dedicated to Touken boys and flowers! ♪ (´□｀｡)

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

Enjoying Japanese sweets with Goro-san!

– Guu

Goro-san seems to fit in here so well even if the sizes don’t match! I really love those sweets at the bottom of the photo! They’re delicious!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

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

Today is the 11th November! Pocky Day! The Nisekoi girl’s decided to cosplay as magical girls and enjoy some Pocky together! I dressed Marika up as Nagisa seen their voice actors were the same… it turned out way cuter than I expected!

– Golden Bug

Ooooh! They’re all so cute!! The other members are also all so cute!! (σ・∀・)σ

Now that I think about it… I forget to eat Pocky on Pocky Day!!

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

The other day I went to Machi Asobi and decided to take my Nendoroid Yamto with me. We climbed Mount Bizan and just before the summit there was a lovely filed of cosmos flowers… I decided it was Yamato’s time to shine and I took her out for some photos.

It ended up as such a lvoely background for her! I really felt like I was out on a date with Yamato-san! ^^

– Nanashi

The combination of Yamato and the cosmos is stunning! ♡

The relaxed pose also sets the scene so nicely! It’s the perfect photo to remember the day! (*´Д｀)=з

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

“When you have a long distance relationship, getting messages from your loved one is the perfect date!”

– Lanz

Even long distance relationships can have dates! I loved the photo, and the comment really got to me as well! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾ ♡

A photo that shines with what it means to be young and in love!!

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

I’ve only ever really enjoyed my figures at home, but seeing all the outdoor photos from other people made me decide to take Eren out for a bit myself! I’ve taken photos in all sorts of different places, but when I got into my hotel I thought the nightscape looked really beautiful so decided to take a photo there too! ♪

The lights in the room made reflections so I had to turn out the lights and had quite some trouble taking the photo, but I think Eren came out looking awesome in the end! I hope you think so too…! (^-^;

– Rin

I think he came out looking fantastic against the night scenery!! It really gives a nice atmosphere to the photo!! Be sure to head out with your Nendoroids again sometime – I look forward to more photos! ♪

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

Miku: Have some Sake and Dango Kashuu!

Kashuu: I already am eating some but here is a crepe for you.

This is taken in my dorm room because I couldn’t figure out where to put them outside and I just really wanted these two to have a date together. They are standing on the volleyball court because that was the longest base I had.

– Sayuri

Connected by fate as they both come with dango parts!! (๑•̀д•́๑=͟͟͞͞(๑•̀д•́๑=͟͟͞͞(๑•̀д•́๑)

I wonder what the two would talk about as fellow lovers of sweet things! ♪

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

A tiny Rin-chan found some Autumn leaves! ♪

– Sa

I quite enjoyed the fact that both the head and body belong to Rin-chan! Different Rin-chans! (●´ω｀●)

Comparing Nendoroids to things in real life really brings out their cute size!!

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

Time to go on a journey through time! As it’s Back to the Future year, I decided to display Racing Miku together with that famous car – ready to go on a ride to the future!

– Mikaniro no Hito

Who ever though Racing Miku and the Delorean would appear together!! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

I wonder where in time she is headed! ♪

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

Once again, a big thank you to everyone who sent in photos!! This has been such a fun theme that I’m quite sad to see it pass… but it’s about time for a new theme!! A theme a little bit more suited to the cold weather!!

Nendoroid Ichigo Hitofuri

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Winter is definitely here now! It’s time for hot cocoa with marshmallows!! ♡

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

Nendoroid Ichigo Hitofuri!

From the popular browser game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a Nendoroid of Ichigo Hitofuri, the sword with many short swords as his younger brothers. He comes with three expression parts including his standard expression, a combat expression as well as a smiling expression to display him showing his gratitude.

His sword can be displayed both sheathed and drawn, and he comes with two different cape parts – one for his standard pose and another based on his combat appearance! Be sure to add Ichigo Hitofuri to your collection!

“As the dew, I fall. And as the dew, I vanish.”

The only long sword ever made by the renown sword smith Awataguchi Yoshimitsu: Ichigo Hitofuri is joining the Nendoroids! ♪

His gentle eyes and beautiful light blue hair as well as his refined, almost noble appearance have been transformed into Nendoroid size beautifully! As his one line in the game states, his clothes are far too fancy for his demeanour, but that doesn’t change the fact that they look amazing!! The gold used in various instances over the outfit really make the relatively simple design stand out!

The shoulder cape featuring his symbol is split into two parts, allowing for various different nuances in posing! 


△ The wavering appearance through the sculpt is also lovely!

The shoulder cape also comes with an alternate version which can be swapped out for this pose! (´□｀｡)

Slightly more folded out, elegantly blowing in the wind behind him!

This part alone allows for a rather different atmosphere in poses! The appearance really works nicely in creating a tense fight scene – the moment before the battle!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

With that said, I think it’s time to take a look at his second expression…

A combat expression!

He looks so carefully focused on the enemies before him! A perfect stance with absolute confidence in his eyes!

As you can see, you can also pose his scabbard attached at his hips to allow for these combat scenes! The knot that ties the scabbard on is even tied up on this version of the scabbard – different to the one he holds in his hands! (・ω・)/

The tightly closed mouth and sharp eyes really give a nice tense feeling that combat is about to begin for Ichigo Hitofuri!

The spilt part of the shoulder cape can be moved up and around the arm like above, allowing for various different stances and ways to hold his sword! I can’t wait to see all the ideas that everyone comes up with! (*´Д｀)=з

We’ve had a relaxed expression and a combat expression, so let’s move on to his third expression…

A lovely smile based on his line from the game, ‘My thanks to you’! (/ω＼)

The pose with his hand to his chest brings out that gentlemanly personality so nicely as well!! I wish I had Ichigo Hitofuri as my older brother!!

Anyway, as Nendoroids are in fact action figures, let’s try out a couple of poses!! The poses and stories you can make with figures are only limited by your imagination!! Let’s see what my imagination is capable of… ｜ω･；)ﾁﾗｯ

– Patting One of his Little Brothers on the Head –

Ichi-nii is well known for always thinking of his little brother swords! I’m sure before he goes out to battle he always gives them a pet on the head! The cape blowing elegantly to the side makes his farewell even more touching!! ★

– Acting a Little Bashful –

Depending on how you look at it, the smiling expression can also be seen as a bit of an embarrassed expression! Here he have him raising up his arm as if trying to hide away his embarrassment a bit!

Compare the two photos above and you can see you can really experience all sorts of different sides of Ichigo’s personality through the figure!!

I also strongly recommend capturing your favourite poses of the Touken characters and sharing them! Because I want to see them too!!

△ Even a little change in the angle of the neck makes for a different impression.

If you wish to share your photos with other Touken fans, Tweet the photo on Twitter together with this hashtag: ‘#ねんどろ刀剣男士‘! You can also search for that tag to find all sorts of lovely photos!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Last but not least, he also comes with a round base featuring his symbol!! ★

These stands have of course been included with all the Touken Ranbu Nendoroids, and they look really amazing all lined up together! (●´ω｀●)

Add the adorable Ichi-nii to your collection!

Nendoroid Ichigo Hitofuri

Currently available for preorder! ♡

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Ichigo Hitofuri “You Have My Thanks” Ver. as a bonus!

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ♪

GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP: http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/top/ornenwd00581.html

Plus as usual, you can also grab a special Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag (Ichigo Hitofuri Ver.) to carry him around in!

GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP: http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/top/hsgdswd00003.html

Make sure you don’t miss out! 

Finally, a quick look at what’s to come! These photos are from the recent animate Girls Festival…

Another sword made by Awataguchi, Nendoroid Yagen Toushirou is on the way!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Also don’t forget that there is also a Yamatonokami Yasusada scale figure in the works!! I think he’ll be making a debut soon!!

Mikazuki Munechika

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Thanks to everyone who tuned into the live broadcast today!
Today I’m going to be taking a closer look at the 1/8th scale…

Mikazuki Munechika! 

From the popular browser game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Mikazuki Munechika based on his standard standing pose from the game.His gorgeous outfit has been sculpted with the most intricate of details, and the distinctive patterns woven on his dark blue kimono have been reproduced as accurately as possible. The vivid gradient of the kimono as also been preserved and can be enjoyed from any angle you please. Be sure to add the most beautiful of the Five Great Swords to your own collection!

“Well, they do call me the most beautiful of the Five Great Swords.”

Apologies for the long wait since we first showed his unpainted prototype at WonFes! The elegant, easygoing sword Mikazuki Munechika is finally coming as a scale figure!


△  Some people already had the chance to see him at AGF2015! ♪

The photos above are our release photos taken by a professional – the photos from here on out are photos I took myself in the GSC offices!


△ This is my favorite angle!

But no matter what angle you look at him from, he looks simply outstanding! The sculptor of the figure is YUMA (SWANBOAT no SOUZA) – the same sculptor that did GSC’s recent Saber Bride figure!

The intricate details of his outfit and accessories makes him seem so very alive!!!

The charm of the character is one thing, but the ability to transcend the world of figures and look so very real… this is something only an incredible sculptor can do! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Even from the back he is brimming with elegance!

You can just imagine how the outfit will flow in the next few seconds due to the way it is sculpted! It’s almost hard to believe that is isn’t going to move!! It’s incredible how such a simple standing pose can have such a lively and dynamic feeling to it! Let’s take a look at specific sections in a bit more detail, starting off with…

– Outfit Accessories –

The hair accessory displayed at an angle, the neck accessory and all the intricate little parts that adorn his outfit!! 

All the knots tied around his outfit are also beautifully sculpted! (ﾉ｀・∀・)ﾉ

His gentle expression makes him look like someone you would only find far away from battle, but on the flip side the equipment and sword he carries also makes him seem like he is ready for whenever the battle may come!

– Outfit –

Even the intricate pattern that covers his blue outfit has been beautifully preserved in the figure!

The pattern is sculpted on and then has a gradient applied on top of that making an absolutely stunning outfit to look upon!

The reason Mikuzuki has taken so long to get up for preorder was due to all the adjustments and attempts at creating this pattern in a way that can be kept reliably during production! I think the wait has been well worth it though! (/ω＼)

The pearl paintwork also gives a similar atmosphere to the appearance of the original illustration!

One of the most interesting things about the outfit is that depending on how you shine light on it, it can come out looking quite different! It’s really quite fun to look at from all sorts of different angles to see how the light brings out Mikazuki’s beauty! ♪

Another thing I want to touch on is that the outfit looks ‘heavy’, the sculpt keeps that thick and layered feeling very nicely and really makes it seem like an outfit being worn rather than just another figure.

Anyway, now let’s take a closer look at the finer details that you could never really see in the illustration! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

– Arms –

If you look close up that sleeve, you’ll see a bit of his arm! Even some bare skin!!

The first time I looked I didn’t really know what to expect but I had my own personal opinions of what I wanted to see… I wasn’t disappointed!! 

The photo is a little hard to see, but this is something you really need to see with your own two eyes!! Be sure to sit down and have a nice long look once he joins your collection!!

– Feet – 

The front, back and sides of his tabi shoes are beautifully sculpted, and you can even see his ankles peeking out at the top!

So much attention to detail even in the areas you normally wouldn’t even see!! I know you might find my attention on his arms and feet a little strange, but they really are lovely to look at!! I hope my photos make them look as amazing as they do to me!! ( ；∀；)

– Expression – 

Those eyes…!!

Those eyes just suck you right in!!! Not to mention her lovely lips with the mouth ever so slightly open!! They say that the expression is the heart of figures… and I have to say that after staring at this face for awhile I really think he is alive! There is a living and beating heart in this figure!!  (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

Plus those crescent-shaped pupils! Mikazuki actually means ‘crescent moon’ in Japanese, so the eyes match with his name! I also love the way his hair curves toward his face on the ends! And those muscles in his neck!!

I-I can’t put his beauty into words!!

Plus with a quick switch of angle the expression has a rather different feel to it! Suddenly he looks more cunning, ready for a fight! I’ve been chatting about this figure with the planner for so long and we really never run out of topics! There is just so much to enjoy!!

I wish I could tell you more about him!! I want all the Saniwa out there to gaze at him in admiration like I do!! I want to share what I’m feeling when I look into his eyes!!

… that’s the kind of product that this is!!

Make sure you don’t miss out on the 1/8th scale…
Mikazuki Munechika!

He’ll be up for preorder later today!! ♪

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Mikazuki Munechika Sword Charm as a bonus!☆


△ Easy to carry around with you wherever you go! (・∀・)

Plus we also have a Special Mikazuki Munechika site going up tomorrow, so be sure to take a look at that as well! (●´ω｀●)

Nendoroid Hana Isuzu & Nendoroid Mako Reizei

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I currently have the incredible urge to eat something chocolate mint flavoured. However decided to mix those two flavours together was a genius!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at two related products!

Nendoroid Hana Isuzu

& Nendoroid Mako Reizei!

Ooooooooooh!! (´□｀｡)

The gunner and driver for the Ankou Team are both joining the Nendoroids dressed up in the Panzer jackets! The two girls have both had their lovely long black hair sculpted and if you look close you can see the little difference in color and sculpt between the two!


△ Mako on the left has a bit more of a blue tint to her hair!

This means that all the members of the Ankou Team have joined the Nendoroids!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

 

Nendoroid Miho Nishizumi

Nendoroid Yukari Akiyama

Nendoroid Saori Takebe

But let’s get back to today’s main features, starting off with…

Nendoroid Hana Isuzu!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

From the anime series ‘Girls und Panzer’ comes a Nendoroid of the Ankou Team’s gunner, Hana Isuzu! She has been sculpted wearing her panzer jacket and comes with three different expressions including a gentle standard expression, a sweet smiling expression as well as an aiming expression to pose her getting ready to fire in combat!She also comes with a variety of optional parts including a bento lunch box to show how much she loves to eat and well as sitting parts, a gunner’s chair and even a turret aiming device to display her getting ready to fire! Be sure to display her together with Nendoroid Miho Nishizumi, Nendoroid Yukari Akiyama, Nendoroid Saori Takebe and Nendoroid Mako Reizei to complete the Ankou Team and Panzer Vor!!!

The adorable girl who comes from a family that practices flower arranging comes with the cute standard face above, as well as a more elegant smiling face you’ll see below!!

She also comes with a bento lunch box! (●´ω｀●)

This shows just how much she loves to eat!! ♪

The combination of the smiling expression together with the bento shows just how happy she is to be holding it!! Plus as you can see she also comes with sitting parts as well as a gunner’s chair!

But that’s not all!

“This shot is filled with all of our hearts!!”

A turret aiming device to display her as if inside a tank getting ready to fire! Even in Nendoroid size, the details on this device are quite impressive!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ


△ The device can be connected into one of the holes on the base!

Plus as you may have noticed from the last photo, she also comes with an aiming expression to display her getting ready to take the shot!

It can also be seen as a winking expression! ٩( ・ω＜)و

You can even pose her aiming while standing up like this, if you prefer! Simply match the pose to the situation!!

She also comes with bent arm parts and various different hands that allow for various different poses – here she looks much more elegant sitting down! ♡

Be sure to add the composed, strong and beautiful Hana-san to your collection!

Next up, Nendoroid Mako Reizei!★

From the anime series ‘Girls und Panzer’ comes a Nendoroid of the Ankou Team’s driver, Mako Reizei! She has been sculpted wearing her panzer jacket and comes with three different expressions including her composed standard expression, a sleepy expression as well as a frustrated expression for when she can’t think of a good idea!She also comes with a variety of optional parts including the tank textbook that she read repeatedly as well as a driver’s seat fitted with various levers to recreate the feel of the inside of a tank! Be sure to display her together with Nendoroid Miho Nishizumi, Nendoroid Yukari Akiyama, Nendoroid Saori Takebe and Nendoroid Hana Isuzu to complete the Ankou Team and Panzer Vor!!!

As you can see she comes with her adorable sleepy face as well as that cat paw-like hand to rub at her eyes!! So adorable!! (σ・∀・)σ

The half-open mouth just completes the cuteness!!

She can’t get much done early in the day due to her low blood sugar, but when she does get things done it is always at an amazing level! She was able to drive a tank without flaw after reading the control manual just once!! ♪

A tank driver’s seat with levers and pedals is included for her to sit in!

The seat connects onto the base with a joint, which means you can even move the seat like this…

A Reclining Tank Seat!!

This means you can pose Mako dozing off in the chair like this!!


△ Dozing off after reading the manual!

Everyone knows Mako as a bad morning person, but there is another part of her personality too…

“Ghosts… are even worse than waking up early!”

The included frustrated expression can also be used to make her look rather nervous – which suits this line perfectly!! Mako normally has a very composed and relaxed personality, so seeing her stress like this is actually quite a rare sight! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

Here she was told a scary story and now can’t properly remember what she is reading…!


△ You can also pose her reading the manual like so!

Along with the fun with expressions, you can also pose her sitting in the tank, ready to drive!

Be sure to add the cute Mako to your collection as well!

The last two members in the Nendoroid Ankou Team!

Nendoroid Hana Isuzu

& Nendoroid Mako Reizei!

They will both be up for preorder from the 12th November!! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Orders of either from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Special Nendoroid Base (Inside Tank) as a bonus!!☆

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

PLUS! These two items are both planned to be made in GSC’s Tottori figure factory!

In other words, they will both be ‘MADE IN JAPAN‘ Nendoroids!

Nendoroid Eli Ayase: Training Outfit Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I want to try eating Pelmeni! I love hearing about food that I’ve never heard of before!!  Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Eli Ayase: Training Outfit Ver.♪

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a Nendoroid of Eli Ayase wearing her training outfit! She comes with both a smiling expression as well as a stern expression based on the stricter side of Eli before she joined μ’s.Optional parts include an alternate back hair part that allows you to display her with her hair down, allowing you to enjoy Eli with either a ponytail or with long hair instead! A special ‘holding hand’ part is also included for use with the ‘Ima wa Bokura no Naka de’ LoveLive! Nendoroid series! Be sure to display her with the other Nendoroids in the series!

\ Cute! / \ Clever! /

\ Elichika! ♡/

The perfect beauty with both physical ability and intelligence, Eli Ayase is joining the LoveLive! Nendoroid series in her training outfit! The rather sporty outfit she uses for training has been very nicely preserved in Nendoroid size!!

The smile on her face has a kind of  warm feeling to it that seems willing to accept anything that someone may have done with an open mind! I really love that smile!! っ(/ω＼)

The ponytail tied high up on her head is also fitted with a Nendoroid joint allowing you to match the movement of her hair to her pose more easily!

△ The two longer side sections of hair bring out her hairstyle so nicely!

Elichika is the first of the third years! ٩( ‘ω’ )و

 The figures in the series so far have been as follows…

 

 

   #2: Nendoroid Umi Sonoda: Training Outfit Ver.

   #3: Nendoroid Kotori Minami: Training Outfit Ver.

★ Preorders Still Open!! ★

Once all the third years are released, all the μ’s members will be together in their training outfits as well!! The releases have been so nice and quick!!

Anyway, let’s get back to Eli, with a look at her second expression! (●´ω｀●)

This expression was added in the image of the strict Eli before she joined μ’s!

A stern expression!

She also comes with alternate bent left and right arm parts and her wrist parts can be separated and swapped out allowing for quite a lot of different posing options! ☆

The pose above has her twirling her fingers through her hair while stubbornly trying to explain something to the other μ’s members, but…

My personal pose recommendation…

Hands on her hips looking upward!

I think this brings out the ‘Nendoroid’ cuteness of her really well! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Plus she also comes with a rather different optional part to the previous characters!

An alternate back hair part!★ 

In other words you can display her with her hair down for a rather different appearance!!

I always find it quite a rush to see a girl with their hair down when they normally always have it tied up!

△ Even with the stern expression it has a rather different feel!

You can pose this together with Nendoroid Umi Sonoda: Training Outfit Ver. and her embarrassed expression to create a scene where Umi-chan is excited to see Eli’s hair down!!♡


△ Posing the ‘Training Outfit’ series together allows for all sorts of fun scenes!

Enjoy all different sides of Eli through different expressions and hairstyles!

Nendoroid Eli Ayase: Training Outfit Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♪

As with all the previous Nendoroids in this series, she also comes with holding hands parts designed for use with the original LoveLive! Nendoroid series!

△ Connect the hands of the original Nendoroids together!

In addition, if you preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will also receive a Special Nendoroid Background Sheet (Night Sky) & Special Nendoroid Stand ♪


△ The third years have a romantic night sky! ♥︎

Be sure to keep the bonus in mind when preordering! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Plus!

Tomorrow another LoveLive! item will also be going up for preorder…

Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag & Eye Mask LoveLive! Ver.

From the anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a special Nendoroid Pouch made in the image of the members of μ’s! In addition, an all new eye mask for Nendoroids is also included as a set! Place your favorite LoveLive! Nendoroid in the pouch and carry them around with you wherever you go!

Here is an example how how it can be used with one of the older Sleeping Bag designs!!

 

Be sure to consider it as well!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Nendoroid Nya-tan

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan) Today I’m going to be taking a look at a product that went up for preorder yesterday…

Nendoroid Nya-tan!☆ 

From the popular anime series ‘Etotama’ comes a Nendoroid of Nya-tan, the eto-musume of the cat that dreams to one day become one of the twelve Chinese Zodiac Gods! She comes with both an energetic smiling expression as well a somewhat obnoxious yet still adorable devious expression.

Optional parts include the Soruraru Seal that marks her victory in the ETM12 divine selection ritual. You can also switch the stickers on the seal to create the seals of each of the eto-musume! Enjoy the adorable company of Nya-tan by your side in Nendoroid form!

“I will be one of the Chinese Zodiac signs!”

The young and innocent eto-musume representing the cat family is joining the Nendoroids! Her cute moe fang, giant star-shaped hair accessory, sailor outfit… everything that makes Nya-tan herself has been carefully shrunk into Nendoroid size!!  (*´Д｀)=з

△ The huge yellow ribbon also looks great!

Now that I think about it…
the Nendoroid design is perfect for her ‘Pretty Mode’ transformation!!

△ Her tail and side-tail hair are both fitted with joints for matching with poses!

Anyway, Nya-tan comes with the adorable smiling face you see above…

But she also comes with this face!! ฅ(๑*д*๑)ฅ!!

Such a devious expression!!

Nya-tan will do whatever it takes to get the Soruraru Seal and this expression shows that side of her personality very clearly!

Even with such a cunning expression… I can’t hate her!! She’s too cute!

The way her mouth is bent in a cat-like way really brings the whole expression together nicely too!!

She also comes with a bent arm part that you can use for a pose like this, or various other different Nya-tan poses to enjoy!! ♥︎

Plus, the Soruraru Seal that marks her victory in the ETM12 divine selection ritual is also included!


△ It feels like she is pushing it out toward me!

Additionally, stickers for the other eto-musume are also included for you to swap out! ☆

△Each of the different seals are included as a sticker!

Plus, the inner sheet of the packaging is based on the background image of the Pretty Mode transformation scene, bringing out the scene even more!!  (๑•̀ㅁ•́๑)✧

* The background has been placed on a panel for this photo.

This really makes it seem like the series is right beside you! ♪

Finally I must reveal one more important point…

Not only do her feet have adorable foot prints, But she is also wearing leggings! Add the adorable cat eto-musume to your collection!

Nendoroid Nya-tan

She is currently up for preorder! ★

Miyazawa Model Exhibition: Autumn 2015

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The Miyazawa Model Exhibition’s is an industry-only event organised by Miyazawa Models, which allows distributors and manufacturers to display their figures, character goods, miniature cars and more among each other. The event is not directly open to the public.
This time around the event included character figures, model cars and even trains which made the total number of companies at the event jump up to 190! The photos I took were all taken before the event opened officially, but once it was open all the stores, bloggers and distributors were constantly filling the room with excitement which made for a very enjoyable event!  ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

Nendoroid Saitama

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The vending machines have finally all started to sell warm drinks! I’m looking forward to some nice warm amazake as well!

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

Nendoroid Saitama!

From the popular anime currently being broadcast ‘One-Punch Man’ comes a Nendoroid of the man who obtained unrivalled power, Saitama! The characteristic round appearance of his head has been completely preserved in Nendoroid form!

He comes with two head parts with different expressions – one with his standard unconcerned expression and one with a more serious expression to show off during battle scenes! He also comes with a super market packet to hold to display the calmer side of his life as well! Simply pick the parts and pose that you prefer, and enjoy the company of the invincible Saitama!

Sensei!!!! (´□｀｡)

The hero who spent three years training to obtain his power, which now allows him to defeat even the strongest of enemies with a single punch!! Saitama is joining the Nendoroids! ☆

The rounded form of his head and completely not strong looking appearance has been faithfully shrunk down into Nendoroid size!

The design looks rather simple, but the smaller details such as the flowing appearance of his cape look lovely! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Plus those cheerful eyes that look hand-drawn…!

△ The Nendoroid was changed again and again to capture this style! ♪

He also comes with folded arms for a more heroic pose!!

△ I can just imagine an evil villain on the other side of that gaze…!

But the thing that makes Saitama so special if that even though he has such unfathomable power… he still fits in as an everyday guy as well! In order to help bring out that normal side of him, he also comes with this! ★

A shopping bag from the Munageya super market!

They must have had some stuff on special for him to buy! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

△ He looks quite satisfied! It must have been quite a bargain! ♡

But Sensei does have another side to him that also needs to be shown… which is why he also comes with this expression!!

A serious expression!★

He looks so… manly!!

I can just hear him shouting “TODAY WAS THE SPECIAL SALE AT THE SUPER MARKET!” from that one scene, along with countless other one punch scenes! The expressions are exchanged with a complete swap of the entire head part!

The pose also comes with a much more defined fist part that makes his punch look all the more powerful and imposing to match with his change in expression!! ♪

△ The tight fitting texture of the gloves also comes out nicely!

By the way, if you pose him with the normal expression and punch…

What an innocent looking punch!!

The difference between this punching pose and the last is just a few parts and yet the change is huge!! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

Plus he even comes with an alternate cape part to show the power behind his punches! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

The standard cape drops down and flutters down at his feet, while the alternate part is clearly being blown to the side with amazing force!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

You can also combine the serious face and crossed arms…

／100 Push-ups! 100 Crunches! 100 Squats!＼

This reminds me of the scene where he taught his secret to becoming so powerful! (/ω・＼)

I think I’ll need to change his pose each day! I can’t decide which I like best!! ♪

All of them capture Sensei so perfectly!!
Nendoroid Saitama!!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Vaccine Man Acrylic Plate (Includes Stand) as a bonus!!

△ Place it next to Nendoroid Saitama to give him something to punch! ♪

Be sure to keep the bonus in mind when preordering! (●´ω｀●)

Dark Magician Girl

Hello everyone! My name is I.G. Sakai, a member of Max Factory’s Planning team! I’m here to let everyone know that a certain figure is coming up for preorder soon!

From the popular anime series ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’ comes A figure of Yugi Muto’s reliable companion who fought a number of battles by his side…

The 1/7th Scale Dark Magician Girl!!

The Yu-Gi-Oh series is filled with all sorts of different monsters, but the Dark Magician Girl is one that many will remember as being one of the cutest! Me included!! Let’s take a closer look at her!


▲A dynamic pose based on the Dark Magician Girl’s Summoning Scene!

Those lovely long white legs are so beautiful…

The pose where she is holding on to her hat should cause nostalgia bells to ring in fans heads a little! The outfit is of course a cuter version of  the Dark Magician’s outfit! The outfit makes use of a glossy finish which brings out the gentle curves of her body very nicely!

 ▲The staff in her right hand uses metallic paint to bring out the texture!

The metallic shine is different to the glossy shine of the outfit, really bringing out all the different textures in the figure! The jewels in her boots also make use of a semi-see-though material to keep the transparent appearance!

 ▲ The gloss on the outfit matches with the tight look nicely!

Plus you can’t possibly miss the base! It’s specially designed in the shape of the magic circle that appeared in her summoning!!! Isn’t it awesome?!

The mould for the base is actually a clear blue circle, and then the golden rings and symbols are all printed onto it, which gives the illusion of the golden parts floating ever so slightly higher than the circle!

 ▲ She’s even cute from the back!

What’s that? They’re showing? Don’t be silly!!

This is a leotard! You’re not seeing anything naughty!!

Tear your gaze away from her pant leotard and instead take a look at the her cape is fluttering around behind her!!

By the way, we previously had this figure on display at events and whatnot, and one of the overwhelming things we heard from fans was that the stand that connects to the bottom is just getting in the way…

Hahaha! Don’t worry about such petty things my fellow duellists!
That stand can in fact be completely removed!!

BMG支柱_修正済

On top of that…
There are no connection tabs on the bottom at all!

As you can see from my detailed explanation above, the stand at the bottom merely supports the figure, and can be removed to not affect the appearance whatsoever!

So then… why is it there in the first place? This prototype is what we call a resin cast, which is slightly heavier than the actual PVC material that the figure will be made from – the resin cast was too heavy to remove this support, but the PVC version will be able to be displayed without it.

That said, depending on your environment (such as very hot areas where PVC gets too soft) you may want or even need to use the stand – so it will be included just in case, but can be removed with ease!

There we have it! I hope you’re looking forward to the…

1/7th Scale Dark Magician Girl!

She will be up for preorder soon!
Please be patient with us just a little bit longer!!
