Wonhobby 24 ORANGE ROUGE Booth & Gokotai!

Hello everyone! Chan-Shuu (@gscs_hirase) from the GSC Planning team here! Recently been walking two of the stations to work thanks to a certain game that involves throwing red and white balls…

Anyway, today I’m going to start off by saying a big thanks to everyone who came to visit the WONDERFUL HOBBY LIFE FOR YOU!!24 booth during last weekend’s Wonder Festival! So many people stopped by to enjoy the exhibits, sales and stage! It was such a pleasure to watch everyone enjoying themselves!!

Last but not least, let me take a quick look at this figure which was on display and is now already up for preorder!!
▼ 1/8th Scale Gokotai!

From the popular browser and smartphone game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Gokotai based on his standard standing pose from the game.

The slim figure you would expect from a short sword, the fluttering collar and long sleeves of his outfit and his gentle, cheerful expression have all been captured perfectly for fans to enjoy from any angle they please. The figure also comes complete with five little tigers each with unique patterns, poses and beautiful eyes to display around him. Be sure to add him to your collection!

“Ye-Yes! I am ready… as always…”

The very first ORANGE ROUGE scale figure of a ‘Tantou’ short sword. His petite build, the tiger popping out from the back of his head and another four tigers running around at his feet make for a figure filled with highlights from both a sculpt and paintwork perspectives!

▼ Face Close-Up!

▲His charming teeth look great on the figure! So cute!

The characteristic coloring of his eyes, his soft looking hair and his silky white skin have all been beautifully included on the figure! Also take a look at the eyes of the tigers! They are such beautiful colors and so shiny and lively!! (＾ω＾＊)

▼This is how he looks from the back!

▲ The dark outfit contrasts with his pale skin very nicely!

The emblem on the back of his outfit with it’s shiny gold appearance also adds a nice accent to the overall design! The long sleeves cover up a large amount of his hands but the dainty fingers coming out the ends are so very intricate!!

▼ Long, slender legs!

▲ The long legs that come out from his short pants are so thin and yet still keep a lovely symmetry with a beautiful sculpt. The sculpting of his loafer shoes is also amazing!

But really… as if Gokotai wasn’t cute enough on his own, these tigers are absolutely adorable!! They can all be placed wherever you like as they are not held in place by anything!

▼ Everyone Together!!

△ All run free!!! (≧ω≦＊)

The 1/8th Scale Gokotai is currently up for preorder!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP…

Will also comes with this Gokotai Sword Charm as a bonus!

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ╭( ･ㅂ･)و
But that’s all from me today! See you all again next time! (・ω・)ノ

Kahotan Post Office: Summer & Figures 2016 Edition

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

It might be hot outside today, but I’m rather chilly here in the air-conditioned offices today! I’m wearing a hoodie in the middle of Summer!! :;(∩´﹏`∩);:

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the photos sent in for my next Twitter header change! ⇒ Summer Twitter Header Image!

The theme this time around is…
Summer & Figures!!

Thank you to everyone who sent in their photos!! They are always such a pleasure to see in my inbox!

Just looking at the photos I could often hear the cicadas crying… I could smell the sea and feel the warmth of the sunlight through everyone’s photos!

As I have already announced on Twitter, my best photo this time around was this photo from Kaede Sakurazawa!!

━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─
Rin: “This feels so amazing!!”
Hanayo: “Someone help me~!”
━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─

Rin-chan out enjoying the Summer by the sea with Hanayo by her side looking a little stressed in the sand! The contrast between Rin and Hanayo’s personality comes out so nicely in the photo, and I love the fact that you decided to create this in Nendoroid size!! (〃∇〃)

Thank you for the lovely, playful photo!

I’d love to put everyone’s photos up on the blog, but I don’t have the space or the time… so here are some others that really caught my eye! I’m sorry if your photo didn’t make it onto the blog! I promise I have looked through and enjoyed them all!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

“Public Service Announcement”

Always play or watch in a well-lit room, three meters away from the television.
Summer’s here! So what better thing to do than laze around all day just watching telly or playing through your backlog of games.

– pierrot05

Aaah!! Look behind you!!
Horror themes are often linked to the Summer so it suits nicely! This photo shows in a comical way the ‘scariness’ of Summer! (｡☌ᴗ☌｡)

☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*

I went down to enjoy the green of Summer at the local park with Sakura-san. Nature really is beautiful in the Summer!

– Suneiru

Sakura-san with her hair blowing in the wind! She looks so beautiful!! Places with lots of green also often have nice shade which make for the perfect place to sit and relax on a hot Summer day! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Nendoroid Levi, Nendoroid Levi: Cleaning Ver., Nendoroid Yukimura Sanada enjoying some delicious Summer fruits!

July and August are the months for watermelon and melon, Yukimura went and harvested them and Levi cute them up for everyone! You can see just how happy Yukimura is to see the cut melon!! Or perhaps he was just impressed with Levi’s cutting skills! Cleaning Levi was invited by Yukimura on the way in and is just standing on the side watching over the cutting.

After this they all enjoyed the watermelon and melon together, Yukimura went back to his training and Levi went back to cleaning up.

– Tsunonigauri

A whole story playing out surrounded by delicious looking melons and water melons! It’s so much fun to create various different situations and then store them in photos!! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾
I look forward to seeing more photos from you in the future, Tsunonigauri!

☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*

I took it near our local lake. It’s a lovely place to enjoy the sun during summer.

– Els

That smile really shows how much she is enjoying the Summer! I’d be happy to take her to the lake every day if she always smiled like this for me! ♪

☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*

I took Yukata Miku with me to a temple in Uji known for its hydrangeas – Mimurotoji! It really was just a sea of beautiful hydrangeas!

– Under B

I also tried the mixture of Snow Miku and hydrangeas and it looked a lot better than I expected so I took some photos of her too!

Under B sent in two different Miku & Hydrangea photos, but I couldn’t decide which one I liked so I decided to add both of them! The deep, gentle colors of the flowers really match with Miku nicely! ♡

☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*

Designing idol costumes with Kotori-chan! Kotori seems concerned about her design; She doesn’t know how talented she is!

We had a Nendoroid photo booth section at one of our booths in the past! We’ve probably passed by each other at the event at some time or another! I love seeing the combination of Snow Miku and the sea!!

I’m not great at English, but I manged to understand this and it really creates an image in the mind they plays out a lovely story through the photo! Thank you!

☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*

Nico managed to find a break in the rainy season to do her washing! My washing always piles up during the rainy season and I often wish I could go outside and hand it up with a smile on my face like this! (˶′◡‵˶)

– Luka

The rare day with clear skies during the rainy season is the kind of relief you can only feel during this season! It seems that Nico-nii quite enjoys the simple days in life! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

“What I love the most with nendoroids, it’s taking them outside and watch them becoming alive ! This picture has been taken on a French island named Ile d’Aix on a sunny morning…”

– MrTa

A miniature world built for Nendoroids with a full background and all sorts of little accessories to boot! The picture not only shows dedication to an amazing photo, but also shows your love for the Nendoroid series!! ♡

☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*

Took the picture in my backyard because Yoshino is so cute you just can’t take a picture of her!

– Kallen

Yoshino with an adorable upward gaze as she hides behind a couple of leaves…! The mysterious, fairy-like charm is so adorable!! (●´ω｀●)

☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ゜ﾟ*

I hope you all enjoyed the photos as much as I did!

Thanks again to everyone who sent in any photos! I may be in a rather chilly office at the moment, but all the photos made me wish I could head out and enjoy the Summer a little bit more!

Nendoroid Mumei

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

From the anime series ‘Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress’ comes a Nendoroid of Mumei wearing her combat uniform! She comes with three different face plates including a cute standard expression, a gallant combat expression as well as a more comical glaring expressionHer backpack engine is included and although small is filled with intricate details. Two of Mumei’s steam pistols are included as weapons and also come with effect parts as well as interchangeable parts to display them with bayonets deployed. Alternate hair parts without her head armor are also included allowing you to display a more everyday side of Mumei as well!

Kabaneri. Neither human nor Kabane, but something in-between.

The girl with a small build and bob cut hair that appeared on the Iron Fortress – Mumei is joining the Nendoroids! Her characteristic combat uniform has also been shrunk down to Nendoroid size down to the cloth wrapped around her legs and the blue ribbons tied in various different areas! ♪

If you look from the back you can see that her bob cut hairstyle has been faithfully sculpted with the inside trimmed up higher!

△The backpack engine has a nice sharp, metallic appearance!

Plus her steam pistols also include interchangeable parts to display them with the bayonet parts deployed, allowing for even more poses from the series!

△ You can create a jumping feeling with the Nendoroid stand! ★

Mumei dancing through the air in combat!
Of course, she also comes with an expression more suited for that…

A gallant Combat Expression!
Plus she also comes with effect parts to display her pistols firing! ♪

She might have a small build, but her ability in combat is not to be underestimated!

While Mumei certainly has her cute scenes as the heroine of the series, it’s great to also be able to pose her more gallant side as she battles against the Kabane! (*´﹃｀*)

She also comes with alternate hair parts without the armor!

Perfect for displaying the more innocent and playful side of Mumei in your collection! ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ ｸﾞｯ !

Moving on to her third expression!

A Glaring Expression!

The slightly tsundere side of Mumei that sometimes came out in the series can be recreated with this expression!

As you can see, the figure allows you to enjoy all sorts of different charms of Mumei’s character in all sorts of different poses! Choosing which pose to display her in might be rather difficult though!☆

Add the cute yet strong Kabeneri to your collection!
Nendoroid Mumei!

She is currently up for preorder!!

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 24th August 2016! ⇒ GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP: Nendoroid Mumei

There is also a Scale Figure on the way!

As well as a figma from Max Factory! ♪

Stay tuned for more information!!

Alisa Illinichina Amiella

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! Still getting over the excitement from the weekend of WonFes!

A big thanks to everyone who came by our booth at the event! I was positioned at the Sakura Kinomoto exhibition area and got the pleasure of watching all the fans enjoy the details of the figures!

During the ‘No Photos’ time after 16:00 I felt like I was in a museum with people lining up to see some kind of rare exhibit and then enjoying the reaction of fans as they looked on at the figures. It really made me feel proud to me a member of the Good Smile Company team! (*´ω`*)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at one of the figures that was displayed at WonFes and is now up for preorder!
Alisa Illinichina Amiella!

From the anime series ‘GOD EATER’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the Fenrir Russian Branch God Eater, Alisa Illinichina Amiella! She has been sculpted based on her pose from the anime series’ main key visual, carefully keeping her high-minded, composed appearance intact in figure form. The sculpting on her huge ‘God Arc’ has also been carefully detailed to give the figure a striking appearance that can’t be missed!

Let’s start off with a quick spin! ♪

It’s so exciting the whole way around! (*´ω`*)

The chequered parts of her outfit, creases in the fabric and the shiny appearance of her boots all look lovely, and the contrast between Alisa herself and the impressive God Arc by her side is also such a pleasure to look at! Let’s take a closer look from the top down!

Starting from the top!

The cute flat cap with its chequered design is nicely visible from this angle, and you can also see the detail of the emblem on her chest!

I’ve recently been learning more and more about the manufacturing process of figures which often makes me ponder about how they are going to mass produce some of these more intricate details!! But I’m also very confident they will find a way, so don’t worry about it!!

Down to her face and expression!

While she looks lovely from the front, a low angle shot like this seems to suit Alisa so well! That somewhat upset expression and the downward gaze also might tickle the fancy of some as well!

Down to her skirt!

Yep! Just look at the lovely pattern on the skirt!! This photo was taken completely to show the details on the skirt and not show a nice close up of the beautiful curves of Alisa’s body! Don’t get me wrong!!

▼A shot from the side shows the details on the God Arc!

The God Arc has a mostly mechanical appearance but has certain aspects that make it look like a living thing at the same time! As I said above the beautiful skin of Alisa’s profile and the heavy looking, boorish weapon make for such a lovely contrast! I wish I could explain this beauty with better words for everyone!!

▼A Closer Look at the God Arc!

The rather disconcerting vein-like cables that come out from the grip of the God Arc make for such a unique appearance! The God Arc also seems to be lifting up Alisa’s skirt a little which makes me rather jealous!

Her Feet and Debris Base!

This is definitely one of my highlights on the figure! The damage of the base really sets the scene and adds to the atmosphere of the figure!

▼ Displayed with Ciel Alencon!

Ciel Alencon also from God Eater was released back in February 2015! The two of them together with their God Arcs really look amazing displayed together!!

(Ciel Alencon is also a rather nostalgic figure to me as when I first joined GSC I wrote the introduction text for the figure that was placed on our official website!)

Whether or not you have Ciel Alencon, she still looks amazing though!

The 1/8th Scale Figure
Alisa Illinichina Amiella!

Up for preorder from today! (`・ω・´)

Preorders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP will be open until the 24th August 2016 at 21:00JST!

Nendoroid Remo

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve had yet another PC breakdown and had to replace my work computer… this is the third time in five years!

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

From the anime movie ‘Garakowa: Restore the World’ comes a Nendoroid of the girl who lose her memories, Remo! She comes with three face plates including her standard smiling expression, a face stuffing her cheeks with cake as well as a ‘Mother’ expression with a very different feeling to it.

Optional parts include some cake with a fork, as well as the glass flower from the series! She can even be posed in a cute pose holding the glass flower with both hands! Be sure to add the adorable Nendoroid Remo to your collection!

“I have to return to the flower garden…”

The beautiful program that found her way into the Box of Wisdom, Remo is joining the Nendoroids! The little flower hair accessories, light purple hair, beautiful wide eyes and her cute outfit have all been shrunk down to Nendoroid size preserving all of Remo’s adorable charms in Nendoroid form!

The wispy one-piece dress she is wearing has all the patterns around the chest, sleeves and shoulders kept intact for the Nendoroid!★

△ Even the area normally covered up by her hair has been faithfully sculpted!

She also comes with a large bouquet of glass flowers and a ‘peace sign’ hand part to recreate this pose on the mini-shikishi that was given to those who came to see the film at theatres!

The fingers of the peace sign touch her cheek gently for a very cute pose!

In addition, she also comes with a single glass flower allowing you to choose which suits her best! ♪

Anyway, let’s move on to her other expressions!

Her second expression is this cute expression stuffing her cheeks!
*nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

Made in the image of the scene that she ate cake with Dual!

A cream puff cake with a lovely big strawberry on top! She also comes with a fork to hold in the other hand! The one cheek it all puffed out showing just how much she is enjoying munching on the delicious treat! ♪

Moving on to her third expression…!

Her ‘Mother Expression’!

A rather different expression to the other two, this expression is based on Remo in her indifferent and somewhat expressionless ‘Mother’ state! A very important expression to capture more of Remo’s character! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

In other words you can easily choose between her innocent smiling side all the way to her rather cold feeling Mother expression! Simply pick the Remo that you want by your side! Be sure to add her to your collection!

Nendoroid Remo!

She’ll be up for preorder later today! ★

Check the Good Smile Company Website for more details!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Osamu Dazai!

From the anime series ‘Bungo Stray Dogs’ comes a Nendoroid of the Armed Detective Company member – Dazai Osamu! He comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a grinning expression as well as a rather carefree expression!

Optional parts include effect parts to display him using his ability as well as his favorite book, ‘A Guide to Suicide’. He also comes with parts to pose him with his hands in his pockets to better capture his personality, and he even comes with special parts to display him trying to drown himself! Enjoy the cute and stylish Osamu Dazai in your collection!

Osamu Dazai. Ability: “No Longer Human”.

From Bungo Stray Dogs comes a Nendoroid of the member of the ‘Armed Detective Company’ who loves suicide – Osamu Dazai!

His casual-style black hair, trench-coat, loop tie and everything else about his outfit has been faithfully shrunk into Nendoroid size and he also comes with the ‘A Guide to Suicide’ book that he loves so much! His personality also comes out so nicely – he has that kind of mysterious yet handsome appearance!

This is how he looks from the back! ★

The way the trench-coat flows around him and the belt is wavering around gives a nice dynamic feeling, and the sculpt of his hair makes it look so smooth and silky!

Even in a simple standing pose like this the Nendoroid really feels so alive thanks to the dynamic sculpt! I think he will be really great for figure photography! He also comes with special parts to display him with his hands in his pockets!☆

△ Be sure to try all sorts of different poses!

Let’s move on to his other expressions! ♪

First up we have this grinning expression!

You can’t help but think it’s cute even though it’s a rather mischievous smile! If you cover up his mouth on this expression with the book parts, it creates a lovely mysterious appearance as well – kind of like he is plotting something!

△ It could also be seen as a bit of a serious expression!

Next up we have…

A very carefree expression! (*´Д｀)=з

A bit more of a comical expression that appears in the series!

This expression also looks good with the mouth covered!

Perfect for a little giggle when Kunikida believes one of his lies!

Along with the book that has featuring in a huge number of photos above, he also comes with special effect parts to display him using his ability! (⌯¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧

Osamu’s ability ‘No Longer Human’ allows him to counter other people’s abilities, and you can pose him making use of it with these parts!

Last but not least… ★

He also comes with drowning parts to recreate this popular scene from the series! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

You simply need to connect his bent leg parts into the swirling water parts!

△ Could also be fun to use with other Nendoroids!

Enjoy all sorts of different poses from the series with…
Nendoroid Osamu Dazai!

He is currently up for preorder! ★

Plus if you preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will also receive this Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Osamu Dazai as a bonus!

Be sure to consider it when preordering!

Plus we also have another Nendoroid on the way!

Nendoroid Chuya Nakahara!

Stay tuned for more information!

Sakura Kinomoto: Stars Bless You

May the Blessing of the Stars be Upon You!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/7th Scale…
Sakura Kinomoto: Stars Bless You!

A collaboration project between Good Smile Company as a part of our 15th anniversary and ‘Cardcaptor Sakura’, which has not only reached its 20th anniversary but also started an all new ‘Clear Card Arc’ in the July edition of Nakayoshi magazine! The figure is based on an original illustration drawn by Cardcaptor Sakura’s author, CLAMP!

Sakura-chan’s sweet smile has been captured for fans to enjoy by their side, and the details of her hair as well as the frills on her skirt have been intricately sculpted to ensure everything about the original design has been kept intact. A special base has also been included to truly bring the illustration to life – it features various celestial bodies floating around Sakura as well as a circular frame based on the waxing and waning of the moon. Be sure to add Sakura to your collection with this intricate commemorative item!

A product to commemorate Good Smile Company’s 15th anniversary and Cardcaptor Sakura’s 20th anniversary, going up for preorder from tomorrow, the 21st July! (ㆁᴗㆁ✿)

Apologies for the long wait since her prototype was first revealed! The beautiful figure transformed from CLAMP’s original illustration has finally been completed as the ultimate Sakura-chan centerpiece for any collection!

　△ CLAMP’s original illustration

I remember back when I was in primary school and wished I could be like Sakura-chan… every time I felt the wind I would mumble “The Windy is nearby” to myself. I even tried roller-blading with my terrible reflexes and made pancakes my favorite food all because of Sakura-chan. I would never have imagined that I would be able to work with CLAMP-sensei and help transform an original illustration into such a lovely figure! I couldn’t be happier!!

The photo above is one of the official product photos taken by a professional, but all the photos below are my own photos taken in the GSC Offices!

△ The figure stands approximately 45cm in height with the stand!

There are just so many intricate, beautiful details… I don’t know where to begin!

I have probably looked at the details on this figure more than anyone else in the world, but I still have no idea how to put the passion I feel for this figure into words! ( ∩ω∩)

You know that feeling when you try to explain a dream to someone by slowly explaining it piece by piece, but by the time you’re done it seems like an incomplete explanation? That’s exactly how I feel trying to explain the beauty of this figure to everyone!!

While I was taking these photos I kept spinning her around while making little excited noises that made everyone in the offices look at me rather strangely…

This is how she looks from the back!

The white, airy fabric above her skirt has been added onto the figure with a transparent material that stays faithful to the original illustration and also adds such a lovely extra level to the figure!

As far as the sculpting goes, you also need to take a nice close look at the sculpt of her hair around her cheerful face! (/ω＼)

CLAMP-sensei’s delicate touch depicts Sakura’s silky hair so nicely, and it was quite the challenge to convert it into figure form! It had to have a certain amount of volume in figure form without becoming too done up to look different from the original illustration… but at the same time if it was made too thin then it would be impossible to mass produce…!

But the hair aside… just look at that adorable face!!

The green eyes with thin white lines at the bottom of the pupils… looking into her eyes just draws you right in! The gentle and warm Sakura-chan is staring right back at you with such a beautiful smile on her face! The details on the outfit and base have really been pushed up to a whole new level, but the moment I saw this face I was convinced that this was the Sakura-chan figure to stand above all others!

Just look how cute she is!!

I wish I could explain my love for her better than I am, but I know that fans will understand how I feel when they see this figure in person!

Let’s take a look at some other details! ★

Her knee-high socks have a glamorous finish and the little creases around the back of her knee are also fantastic! ♡

Her gloves also feature the same pearl paint!

Each of her fingers have been carefully sculpted with careful calculations made based on the thickness of the material used for her gloves! You can easily make out the tips of her fingers through the gloves!

Then we move onto the unbelievably intricate frills of her dress!

The tightly-packed appearance of the thin, soft material all gathered up has been sculpted in such detail, and they go all around the figure giving Sakura-chan such a light, airy appearance that really supports the floating pose of the figure! (´□｀。)

Looking back at the perfect fit of the gloves, socks and rest of the outfit I can also say that this outfit must have been carefully measured out and made with love by Tomoyo-chan! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Moving on to the celestial bodies included with the base!

The planet parts themselves look just like models from a miniature solar system as they float around Sakura-chan, and have been painted with much deeper colors that contrast with the light and air appearance of Sakura-chan herself! The mechanical parts of the base’s design have also all been sculpted so nicely! ★

The planets actually look rather tasty! A bit like delicious candy!

The planets were an important part of the base on the original illustration, but were altered to look a bit more realistic to better suit with the atmosphere of the figure! Choosing between being more faithful to the original work or instead altering things slightly to make for a better figure is a very hard thing to balance, and I am always amazed at how well figure sculptor’s manage to balance out the details so nicely! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

The back of the figure was of course never even in the original illustration, and was all sculpted and painted based on what could be seen! ♪

That’s not entirely true though! The design of the back of her outfit was provided to us with a separate illustration, but the way the outfit and hair are flowing and the creases on her sleeves and other little details all had to be carefully sculpted without any direct source material to work from!

You can really feel all the love that went into each little part of this figure!!

We also had so much fun taking photos of the figure that we made some special image cuts with special backgrounds this time around! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

△ Chan-shuu carefully arranging lace and beads for a special photo!

I went to various stores and picked up various items that could be used in the photos and worked with the professional camera man and Chan Shuu to create some interesting backgrounds for the figure! It was actually a very fun and exciting experience! ♪

The final photos will be used on various adverts and other promotional material, so keep an eye out for them! (●´ω｀●)

This was another one of the background with a rather different taste!

This photo is taken around various items you might find around the house, in the hopes that Sakura-chan will find a place in everyone’s home!

The figure has already been on display at Anime Expo 2016 and CCG Shanghai 2016, but was unfortunately closed to photos at the time! From tomorrow she will be on display at the animate ACZ Store in Akihabara! Be sure to come by and take a look if you’re in the area! Plus she will also of course be on display at Wonder Festival this weekend – together with the original illustration that she is based on! ♡

Top-class sculpting for the perfect commemorative item!
Add the adorable Sakura-chan to your collection!

Sakura Kinomoto: Stars Bless You!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 21st July 2016! ♥︎

The figure will be available for ¥25,000, which is honestly a very challenging price for us here at GSC! We went through so many meetings trying to set the price at a point that would allow as many fans of the series as possible to add the commemorative figure to their collection – this price is really pushing the limits!

I just wanted to try and get this figure to as many Sakura-chan fans as possible!! Just look at how adorable she is!!!

The figure will take quite a while to be released once the orders are in, but we will be putting everything we have to ensure she comes out in top quality for fans to enjoy in their collection for many years to come!

But I also have some new info!

For those who really want Sakura but just don’t have the space for the budget, we are also going to be releasing an alternate version without the base!

The 1/7th Scale:
Sakura Kinomoto!

This version might not include the planets and large waxing and waning moon base, but on the other hand you can get an even closer look at the details on her outfit and that amazing expression! It will be available for ¥14,000! Be sure to keep both versions in mind when preordering!

More information will be available on the Good Smile Company Official Website tomorrow, and we will also be opening a special page with even more information, so be sure to check both tomorrow around noon Japan time! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

Nendoroid Kashima & figma Hikaru Shidou

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

Nendoroid Kashima! ♥︎

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the 2nd Katori-class Training Cruiser – Kashima! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a half-damaged expression and a winking expression.

Although she may be a training cruiser she still comes with effect parts to display her firing her turrets in the case of combat! She is also the first Nendoroid to include a Type 94 Depth Charge Projector which even comes with effect parts to display her firing off a depth charge – training cruisers are not to be underestimated! Her searchlight also comes with an interchangeable part to display it lit up!

A lunchbox filled with sandwiches and well as a gratin are included as the usual food parts, and she even comes with a selection of parts to recreate her Christmas graphic from the game! Enjoy Kashima by your side in all sorts of different poses!

“Training cruiser Kashima, on duty! Ufufu.”

The latest in the KanColle Nendoroid series! The 2nd Katori-class Training Cruiser Kashima is joining the Nendoroids! Just like the previously released Katori she has a rather tight-fitting outfit, but unlike her older sister she is wearing a pleated skirt which gives her a more casual look! Plus just like her older sister her impressive boobies have been faithfully included even in Nendoroid size!

The ship parts on her back, binoculars in her hand and the Type 94 Depth Charge Projector have all been so intricately sculpted, and the pouch in the shape of a ship’s bridge makes use of a strap made from actual cord and her lovely fluffy twintails are fitted with joints which means you can pose them swinging to the left and right to better match your poses! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Plus she comes with all sorts of lovely optional parts! Let’s take a closer look! (/ω＼)

“Enemy? Is it an enemy ship?“

First up are these firing effect parts!

Plus she is also the very first KanColle Nendoroid to include a Type 94 Depth Charge Projector, and she even comes with parts to display it firing! (´□｀｡)

“Kyaa-!“

You can combine the depth charge parts with the expression based on her half-damaged pose to recreate a scene where she accidentally set off a depth charge! (・∀・)

Plus if you’ve been paying close attention you’ll also note that the searchlight on her ship parts comes with interchangeable parts to display it lit up! They are pretty small parts so be careful not to misplace them!

Plus, as with all the KanColle Nendoroids before her, she also comes with food parts! This time around two different parts, the first of which is some sandwiches for lunch! ♥︎

△ Looks like some egg and ham sandwiches!

Then for dinner we have a Kashima special – Chicken Gratin! ★

△ The little bread crumbs on the top are such a nice touch!

In other words you can enjoy all sorts of Kashima’s home-cooked meals filled with love! But that’s not all…

“Admiral! Merry Christmas!“

She even comes with a completely interchangeable upper body part to transform her into the limited edition Christmas version seen in the game!! The hand-knitted red sweater has such an intricate little pattern!! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

In addition to the body she also comes with a Christmas hat with accessory as well as a fluffy looking Christmas cape to really complete the festive appearance!

△ She pretty much comes with a completely alternate body!

As you can see above it suits the winking expression really well, but you can also switch out for the half-damaged expression…

…! (There are no words!)

Simply pick the expression that you think suits her best!! ((＞д＜))

Add the small and cute training cruiser to your collection!
Nendoroid Kashima!

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

As usual, preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a ‘Nendoroid Kashima’ Special Box Sleeve & Special Nendoroid Base as a bonus! (●´ω｀●)

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ★

Max Factory’s…
figma Hikaru Shidou!☆

The legendary Magic Knight is joining the figma series!

She comes with a cheerful smile, a shouting expression and even a sword made from the legendary mineral ‘Escudo’!

Plus she also comes with a grinning expression that captures her innocent personality so nicely! ♡

Last but not least she also comes with hair parts with cat ears to recreate the scenes in the series where she would sprout the kitty ears!

Be sure to check the GSC Official Site or figma Official Site tomorrow for more info! ♪

△ An alternate expression, bended arms and
legs and a giant Nendoroid stand are all included!

Although she is much larger, the moments and poses that she can take are all exactly the same as any smaller Nendoroid! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Displayed together with a normal Nendoroid gives you a good feeling for just how much bigger the Jumbo Nendoroid is!

You can also tell how big it is by the fact that…

You can fit a person’s head inside the box!!

By the way, I tried doing this myself as well and I have to say that it was a rather unique experience! If you pick up Miku be sure to give being a figure in a box a try!

Nendoroid Mega Man: Metal Blade Ver.

Price: ¥4,800
