Summer Version Io

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe)  from the Corporate Planning Division here! I was born in Summer so I feel I have a bit of an affinity for sunflowers!

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

Phat’s 1/7th Scale…
Summer Version Io!

From the popular smartphone game ‘Granblue Fantasy’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of Io! She has been sculpted in her Summer version wearing a cute blue and white swimsuit which contrasts with her tanned skin beautifully

The colorful gradient of her hair has also been preserved and also makes use of translucent parts to capture the unique charm of the illustration in figure form! Enjoy the playful appearance of Io as she looks out to the sea for the first time!

The Little Lady of Midsummer also known as the Summer version of Io is becoming a 1/7th scale figure! Her superb skin color and the sculpting of the muscles as they pull tight in her pose are both fantastic!

Not to mention the dynamic sculpting of her colorful hair and the careful shading done throughout the figure! The large sunflower she is holding also has such a powerful presence, creating a figure filled with highlights!

I’ll be revealing when she will be up for preorder a little bit later, but for now let’s take a closer look at the details! (ΦωΦ)

– Skin Color –

Io is well known for her darker skin tone and the swimsuit just matches up with the tanned appearance so perfectly! Apparently the color went through a number of changes through the prototype stages, but through trial and error finally managed to reach this lovely appearance!


▲ The contrast of the swimsuit with her skin makes for such a nice color balance!

– Figure –

Scale figures that reveal a lot of skin are often defined by how the muscles and tendons are sculpted! Keeping these looking realistic as well as appealing is one of those things that really shows a high quality figure!

▲ Such a lovely view! (ΦωΦ)

The sculpt of her elbows and knees really brings the figure to life! It feels like she’ll just start moving any second now! Plus just look at that sexy bu… those sexy hips!! ( ;∀;)

▼ A look from a lower angle! (ΦωΦ)

The way those muscles are sculpted around her stomach!!
I can’t help but want to touch them!!

– Hair –

▼ Such an incredible feeling of movement…!

▼ Such an outstanding gradient…!

The beautiful colors of Io’s long twin-tailed hair could easily be her most charming feature! It’s not easy to get colors to come out nicely on translucent materials like those used for her hair here, but Phat! has not only managed to capture the colors and appearance perfectly but even preserved the dynamic feeling as the hair flows behind her! Thank you!! ( ;∀;)

– Sunflower –

Don’t think that this flower is just an extra!
With Io sculpted so adorably it would be rather disappointing of the sunflower didn’t match her quality… but just look at the little details on both the sculpt and the paintwork!

The slightly darker gradient of the petals toward the ends and the multiple layers of the seed head make it look like she is really holding a freshly picked sunflower!


▲ The leaves are also very detailed! Ready for some photosynthesis!

– Recommended Angle –

Excuse me for a second… (‘ω’) 

Nothing more needs to be said… (ΦωΦ)

 

Phat’s 1/7th Scale Figure:
Summer Version Io

She’ll be up for preorder next week
from the 20th July 2016! (JST)

Anyway that’s all from me for today! See you all again soon!

Nendoroid Ryoma Echizen

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Everyone in the offices keeps asking me if I got a tan while I was away on my business trip. I don’t remember being out in the sun that much…!

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

From the anime series ‘The New Prince of Tennis’ comes a Nendoroid of Ryoma Echizen! He comes with three face plates including his standard expression, a composed smile and a more serious expression to recreate various different scenes from the series!

The Nendoroid also includes effect parts to recreate Ryoma’s signature shot – the Twist Serve! A curve ball as well as Ryoma’s pet cat ‘Karupin’ are also included to display by his side! Enjoy various different sides of Ryoma in Nendoroid size!

The young tennis prodigy and first year student at Seishun Academy, Ryoma Echizen is joining the Nendoroids!

This Nendoroid was announced on the New Prince of Tennis Official Site yesterday! All the little details like his wristband, the tennis ball and his red tennis racket have all been faithfully preserved in Nendoroid size! The Seishun Academy shirt and his trademark white hat are also looking lovely!

I also love the way his casual hair style has been sculpted! You can just imagine it being smooth and silky to the touch! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧


△ Just look at those lovely fit legs!

Let’s move on by taking a look at his alternate face plates!

“You still have lots more to work on…”

He looks so sure of himself with this smile!

Ryoma is known for his perfect technique and game sense that overwhelms opponents no matter who they are, and this smile captures that confidence of his so nicely!

He also comes with bent arm and leg parts that allow you to create action poses with more of a dynamic feel to them! (๑•̀ㅁ•́๑)✧


△ He looks completely undefeatable!

The difference between his standard smile and this confident smile really captures that slightly conceited side of his personality! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

But there are some opponents that require him to take things a little more seriously, and he comes with an expression for those matches as well!!


A Serious Expression!

Looking at the photo above makes me feel like I’m a tennis ball flying toward Ryoma… he’s looking right at me!! Special effect parts to display him performing his signature Twist Serve are also included!

Even the warped appearance of the ball has been sculpted!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ The ball isn’t quite round, but instead squished by the force!

Plus, he also comes with…

His beloved pet cat, Karupin! ♪

His neck can also be moved left and right to create different nuances when posing!  (●ↀωↀ●)✧

△ With careful balance Ryoma can even hold the cute kitty!

From cute poses playing with Karupin to serious poses in the court!
Be sure to add the Prince of Tennis to your collection! ♡

Nendoroid Ryoma Echizen!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Check the Good Smile Company and Orange Rouge site tomorrow for more details!

⇒ ORANGE ROUGE Official Site

Another announcement was also made on the New Prince of Tennis Official Site! The captain of Hyotei Gakuen’s tennis team is also joining the Nendoroids!

Nendoroid Shiro & Nendoroid Sora

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe)  from the Corporate Planning Division here! On rainy days I used to enjoy watching my siblings playing TV games!

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

Nendoroid Shiro!

From the anime series ‘No Game No Life’ comes a Nendoroid of the younger of the ‘Kuuhaku’ gamer siblings – Shiro! She comes with three different face plates including her standard expression, the crying expression she had when she was first summoned into the game world as well as a worried expression that can be used for all sorts of different poses!

Optional parts include a playing card, a smartphone that matches Sora’s and a gaming console. Sitting parts are also included for even more display options! Also note how beautiful her long rainbow-colored hair looks even in Nendoroid size! Be sure to display her with Nendoroid Sora who will be available for preorder at the same time!

The younger of the unrivalled gaming siblings ‘Kuuhaku’ is joining the Nendoroids! The purple uniform with the eye-catching yellow scarf, the crown on top of her head and even the unique colored gradient of her hair have all been converted into Nendoroid size!

▼Just look at this beautiful GRADIENT!


Perhaps one of the most charming things about Shiro’s design is her long and colorful hair! The gentle colors that move from a gentle light blue to pink,  orange , and finally a tip of green! It looks so lovely in figure form! This is still the prototype, but the final version that joins everyone’s collections will be just as stunning!

Let’s move on to her optional parts and face plates! ♪

♥ Worried Expression ♥

I know everyone has their own ideal image of characters in their mind, but my ideal version of Shiro is with this expression! It’s like she is innocently trying to get her way… who could say no to this expression?!

( ;∀;) Ahhh!!! Thank you for being so cute!!

Depending on how you look at it, it it can also look like she is thinking about some kind of puzzle in a game! The hand part with her thumb out is included!

♠ Crying Expression! ♠

 

A crying expression based on when they were first sent to the alternate world! You can also use it for various other scenes as well – maybe she just lost a game against Sora!

♣ Sitting Parts & Gaming Console! ♣

The ‘Kuuhaku’ siblings are all about their games, so they just had to include a gaming console!

♦ A smartphone matching Sora’s! ♦


The smartphone has a cute cover with ears and reads ‘For Gaming Only’ on the bottom! It’s such a small part but the details are lovely!

Speaking of Sora…

▼ Nendoroid Sora will also come with a smartphone!▼

In Japan, Nendoroid Sora will only be available as a bonus included with the special edition of the novel, but those outside of Japan will be available to preorder him from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP as well as our partner shops during the same period as Nendoroid Shiro!

Let’s take a closer look at him while we’re at it!

From the anime series ‘No Game No Life’ comes a Nendoroid of the older of the ‘Kuuhaku’ gamer siblings – Sora! He comes with two different face plates including his standard expression as well as a gentle smile for poses together with Shiro!

Optional parts include a Race Piece, a playing card, a smartphone that matches with Shiro’s as well as a gaming console. Sitting parts are also included for even more display options! Be sure to display him with Nendoroid Shiro who will be available for preorder at the same time!

Shiro’s older brother Sora will also be joining the Nendoroids! His unique eyes and the little details of the shades on his hair is also very impressive! His “I love Mankind” T-shirt has also been shrunk down to Nendoroid size nicely!


▲ He comes with a ‘Race Piece’ – one of the key items in the series!


▲ They also each come with a playing card! 

Even the reverse side of the cards have a pattern! ▼

▼ Sora also comes with sitting parts and a gaming console for a sibling gaming session! (*´ω`*)

Plus… Pinky Promise Parts! 

Parts to display them making a Pinky Promise are included with Nendoroid Sora!
Even more reason to grab them both and display them together!!  ( ;∀;)

Add the ‘Kuuhaku’ gamer siblings to your collection! ★
Nendoroid Shiro!

She’ll be available for preorder from the 14th July 2016 JST!

Nendoroid Sora will also be available for preorder to countries outside Japan from the same date!

Bonus Announcement! 
This ‘Nendoroid Plus: No Game No Life Rubber Straps – Sora/Shiro Set’ will also be up for preorder on the same date!

 

Make sure you don’t miss out on anything!

Anyway that’s all from me for today! See you all again tomorrow!

Nendoroid Akizuki

Greetings everyone!
Chan-shuu from Good Smile Company’s planning team here! (@gscs_hirase)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the anti-aircraft destroyer that has been making appearances at events recently…

Nendoroid Akizuki!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the first Akizuki-class anti-aircraft destroyer – Akizuki!

The ship parts on her flanks can be deployed to set her up for battle, and the 10cm gun turrets can be detached and displayed on their own! She also comes with effect parts based on the cut-in effect for anti-aircraft attacks in the game, as well as effect parts for her turrets and torpedo effect parts allowing her to battle on various different fronts!

Nendoroid Akizuki comes with three different face plates including her standard expression, a half-damaged expression as well as a combat expression. A half-damaged body is also included! As with most KanColle Nendoroids she also comes with food based optional parts – this time riceballs and pickled radish as well as some canned beef allowing you to display her in all sorts of original poses!

“Nendoroid Akizuki, reporting in!”

The 28th Nendoroid from KanColle, and also the first ever anti-aircraft destroyer to join the series – Akizuki is joining the Nendoroids! She has a mostly white sailor uniform outfit which contrasts with her black hair beautifully! I also personally really like the design of her outfit around the hips – it looks a bit like she is wearing a corset! （＾ω＾＊）

The embroidered ’61st Destroyer Division’ letters on her ‘pennant’ headband are painted on with a lovely gold to really stand out! The adorable little 10cm gun turrets are also hard to ignore, but I’ll get into more detail about them later!

▼ This is how she looks from the back!


▲ The ship parts that act as a hair clip are so cute! ♪

The way the ponytail comes out in a fan-like shape is rather unique! The huge torpedo launcher on the back of all the destroyers illustrated by Shizuma is also included!

▲ Note the little anchor marks where the headband is tied at the back!

▼ Now let’s take a look at the Nendoroid-sized 10cm gun turrets!


▲ Which can be removed from the ship parts!

There are cylindrical openings on either side of the ship parts that allow you to insert and remove the turrets! Plus there is a little hole in his bottom as well as a special stand which means…


▲ You can pose him jumping up in the air!

Moving on, she also comes with some food parts!


▲ Rice balls and pickled radish!
These were chosen based on some of her lines from the game! The dish they are on is shaped like a bamboo leaf for some bonus style points! ♪


▲ “I went and splurged a bit today!” 

She also comes with some canned beef based on this line!! To think that canned beef would be considered splurging…! (´；ω；｀)


▲ The can reads ‘canned beef boiled with soy sauce’!

▼ Let’s move into combat mode!


▲ “Let’s get started. Fire away!”

I borrowed the abyssal aircraft from Nendoroid Wo-Class for her to battle against!


▲ “So long as I’m still standing, you won’t get past!”

As she is an anti-aircraft ship special effects are included to recreate the cut-in effect for anti-aircraft attacks in the game! Firing parts for the turrets are also included and she comes with a combat expression to being everything all together! The three-layered anti-air explosion part comes with its own arm stand to easily position wherever you need it!


▲ “Brace for impact! We’re still good!”

She also comes with torpedo firing effect parts for battles on the sea as well!

▼ But if she isn’t careful…


▲”I-I can’t sink yet! I’m the fleet’s anti-air defence!!”

She also comes with parts to recreate her cute half-damaged pose holding her bottom! An alternate body is included with the clothes on her back are torn up, she comes with a special face plate to recreate the pose and there is even a damaged version of the 10cm turret included to display beside her!

▲ Note the little propeller marks on her bottom! (ﾟＡﾟ;)


▲ Just as cute from the front! 

The ship parts on her hips are very nicely articulated allowing you to place them in various poses like this one! It’s almost like the ship parts are protecting her!

▼ Nendoroid Akizuki!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 12th July 2016 JST!

▼ Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include…


▲ A ‘Nendoroid Akizuki’ Special Box Sleeve & Special Nendoroid Base as a bonus!

Be sure to consider it when purchasing! ╭( ･ㅂ･)و 

Anyway, that’s all from me today! I hope to see you all again soon! (・ω・)ノシ

The cases allow you to store up to two spare expression parts inside while also having a cute appearance to put on display – which means that even your spare parts will have a place in your collection!

*Images shown here are for illustrative purposes only. No Nendoroid expression parts are included with this product.

Cute cases that can hold your unused Nendoroid face plates!

The product was actually first an entry into the Good Smile Cup Contest! To think that it would make it all the way to becoming an official product! You can see the first ever rendition over on this article: The 4th Good Smile Cup Figure/Model Contest – Part 1: Built from Scratch!


This…
↓
Became this!

It must have been such nice news for the creator when it was announced that it was actually going to made into a product! You can see a lot of love was put into the original design! Let’s take a closer look at the samples!

Each case can hold two face plates! (/・ω・)/
There is also a little hit of space to store some smaller optional parts!

Anyway, that’s enough product promotion! Now I’m just going to introduce some of the scenes that my imagination thought up!

“One who loves food, and one who does not”


◆ Author’s Comment
It was rather useful being able to keep all these optional parts inside the cases too! The expressions come from the Nendoroid More: Face Swap set!

“Crying Person Surrounded by Suspicious People”

◆ Author’s Comment

Collecting multiple of the same parts case has it’s advantages! I want to display a couple of the same expression and faces on my desk! These expressions also come from the Nendoroid More: Face Swap set!

“Match Expressions with Cases!”

◆ Author’s Comment
Exactly what the title says. If you match the colors of the cases with the expressions inside them they have a nice matching feel to them!

“Collection of Cuteness!!”

◆ Author’s Comment
Cute is Justice.

I hope everyone else also enjoys creating stories like these with the Nendoroid More: Face Parts Cases!

★NOTICE★

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Lion Dance Ver.

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe)  from the Corporate Planning Division here! My star sign is Leo, which seems quite appropriate because…
Today’s Main Feature is…

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Lion Dance Ver.!

Lion Dance Miku is here to bring you good luck and protection from evil!

From the ‘Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku’ comes a Nendoroid of Hatsune Miku wearing an outfit based on the traditional Chinese lion dance – a symbol of good fortune! The figure is based on the illustration by versus and includes both a Chinese-style Miku as well as a colorful lion dance Lion as a set!

She comes with three face plates including a cheerful smiling expression, a playful winking expression as well as a chewing expression with cute cheeks! She also comes with a decorated staff as well as a Chinese dumpling as optional parts! The included lion has movable eyebrows allowing for slightly different expressions, and the face part can even be removed and worn on Miku’s head! Be sure to add the Lion Dance Miku to your collection and enjoy the good fortune she brings with her!

Everyone’s favorite songstress Miku-san is back again as a Nendoroid, this time all dressed up in a classic Chinese lion dance outfit!

The dress, her hair ornaments and the edges of her sleeves have that fluffy white appearance based on the white beard of the lion! She also has a lovely gradient in her hair that gradually gets lighter toward the ends and also matches with her outfit so nicely!

This was the illustration used for her announcement! (*´▽｀*)▼

But anyway, let’s get back to the Nendoroid with a look from the back! ♪

 

The ribbon and bell seen on her back in the illustration have been included on the Nendoroid design too! The included lion has also been shrunk down to Nendoroid size and looks so charming even from the back!

A closer look at her outfit! 

The ribbons at her neck and on her sleeves add a lovely accent to the design!

A shot from above to capture her hair accessories! (ΦωΦ)

▲ The hair accessories match up with the lions ears very nicely, and the twirl in her hair captures the dance part of the lion dance! (*´▽｀*)

In case you hadn’t realised yet, Miku’s lion partner is included with the Nendoroid!! A lovely addition for animal(?) fans!! (*´▽｀*)

▲ The lions white eyebrows can be moved up and down allowing for various different expressions!

As you can see from the image above he can look serious, angry and even sad just with a change of eyebrow angle!! This allows for all sorts of different poses when displaying him by Miku’s side! You could even change his expression depending on your own mood for the day!

She also comes with a Chinese dumpling! (*´ω`*)／


Perhaps the first food that comes to mind when thinking about Chinese food! Plus she also comes with a chewing expression that works great with any food parts! 

 

▲ The chewing expression has cute puffed up cheeks!

I can think of all sorts of fun ways to use this expression! 

Plus another important point…

The lion’s head can also be worn as Miku-san!

You need to first remove Miku’s hair accessories and sticking up hair, and then you can place the head on her almost like a hat!

▲ Together with the included staff it creates the perfect scene! ♪

Bring her home and add some good fortune to your collection! ♪
Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Lion Dance Ver.


She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Note that this product is a GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP Exclusive!
You won’t find her for preorder at other stores! 

Anyway that’s all from me for today! See you all again tomorrow!

Nendoroid Todomatsu Matsuno

Greetings everyone!
Chan-shuu from Good Smile Company’s planning team here! (@gscs_hirase)

Following on from yesterday, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Todomatsu Matsuno!

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a Nendoroid of the sixth son of the Matsuno family, Todomatsu! He comes with three face plates including his cute standard expression, his classic ‘Totty’ expression as well as a blank expression with a variety of different stickers for you to create your very own expression!

Optional parts include his smartphone, a cafe apron and an alternate head part wearing his hat – all sorts of parts to recreate your favorite scenes from the series! Be sure to display him with his other brothers who are also joining the Nendoroid series!

“I’m the youngest of the brothers. Todomatsu Matsuno!”

The youngest brother who excels at taking advantage of those around him and knows just how cute he is! The perfect model for the youngest sibling, Todomatsu Matsuno is joining the Nendoroids! His lovely pink hoodie and denim pants have both been shrunk down to Nendoroid size along with his smartphone to hold in his hand!

▼ This is how he looks from the back!


▲ Talking with someone on the phone?

His right hand goes up just high enough to make him look like he is talking on the phone! The sticking up hair has also as usual been included on the Nendoroid design!

▼A trip out by himself!


▲ Creating a background with the figmaPLUS: School Route Set!

I’m sure Todomatsu takes a lot of selfies of himself! This photo is based on that idea!


▲ Wearing a cafe apron!

Todomatsu is often known by the name “Totty” as you can see written on this apron based on the uniform from the cafe! It connects to the figure by detaching the body and placing the apron in-between the head and body!

It can also be worn by all of his brothers as well!! Let’s try that out…

▼ Everyone gets nice and close and then…


!?!?


▲His classic Totty face is included!!

I don’t think there has ever been a Nendoroid face plate with such an impact! Those eyes, nose and mouth… everything about this expression is just so… whoa!! ((((ﾟДﾟ；))))

He also comes with a clenched fist which has purposefully been made to look more realistic than most Nendoroid hands!


▲”S-sorry, Totty…“
It seems Jyushimatsu accidentally hit his brother with a baseball… the flustered look on Jyushimatsu and that powerful gaze from Todomatsu really tell a story all on their own!!

Anyway, let’s move on with the next optional parts…
▼He also comes with a hat!


▲ This is actually a completely separate head part that replaces his standard hair to instead display him wearing the hat! He really looks quite stylish with the beanie… which can also of course be used on the other brothers as well!

▼ Even Choromatsu can be stylish!

He is also holding the oden included with Nendoroid Osomatsu! It’s so fun swapping the parts around between the brothers! ♪

Plus, just like his brother’s before him…
▼He also comes with a blank faceplate!


▼As well as three different expression stickers! ♪

△ Personally I love the cunning expression on the left!

Nendoroid Todomatsu Matsuno!

He is currently up for preorder!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include Special Round Base and Two Extra Blank Expressions as a bonus!

Plus as with all of his brothers, there will also be a special Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag (Todomatsu Matsuno Ver.) going up for preorder at the same time as him!

so be sure to pick that up as well to carry him around with you wherever you go! Anyway, that’s all from me today! I hope to see you all again soon! (・ω・)ノシ

Nendoroid Jyushimatsu Matsuno

Greetings everyone!
Chan-shuu from Good Smile Company’s planning team here! (@gscs_hirase)

My fifth blog update and the first time I’ve ever had two blogs right after one another! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Jyushimatsu Matsuno!

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a Nendoroid of the fifth son of the Matsuno family, Jyushimatsu! He comes with three face plates including his cheerful smiling expression, a flustered expression with very characteristic eyes as well as a blank expression with a variety of different stickers for you to create your very own expression!

Optional parts include a baseball as well as a baseball bat, and he also comes with special bendable arms parts to recreate your favorite scenes from the series! Be sure to display him with his other brothers who are also joining the Nendoroid series!

“I’m the… uh… fifth Matsuno brother! Jyushimatsu Matsuno!”

The strangely cheerful, strangely silly and strangely energetic Jyushimatsu Matsuno is joining the Nendoroids! His lovely bright yellow hoodies with the needlessly long sleeves and his short pants have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size! Plus even though he claims to be the fastest runner he is also wearing his beloved slippers – not exactly the best running shoes!!

▼ This is how he looks from the back!


▲That single stand of hair sticking up!

His legs have a bit of a bow-legged appearance to them to capture that wobbly way he walks even on the Nendoroid! More importantly these straight arms are not just straight arms… (;゜∀゜)=3


▲”What? Tentacles? Yup! I can do tentacles! Yay!“

The arms are made of a bendable material which allows you to create all sorts of tentacle-like movements with his long sleeves!


▲ Baseball Parts for Jyushimatsu!

A baseball bat in his right hand and a baseball in his left! The hand part connectors are also the same on all the Matsuno brothers, so you can also pose any of the other characters holding these parts as well! I’ll show a picture of that a little later…!

▲ A rather unique flustered expression!

Everything about Jyushimatsu is always done to the extreme and the same goes for his flustered expression! Plus as you can see he does also comes with normal arms and hand parts!


▲ Expressions and parts can be swapped with the other brothers!

As I mentioned above, the hand parts are fully compatible between characters and as with all Nendoroids you can also of course switch their expressions around allowing for all sorts of posing opportunities!


▲ Encounter with the Unknown…


▲ But they seem to get along well!

I’m pretty sure Jyushimatsu would be able to get along with pretty much anyone!

▼ Plus he also comes with a blank faceplate!


▼As well as three different expression stickers! ♪


△ All very… intense expressions!

Nendoroid Jyushimatsu Matsuno!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include Special Round Base and Two Extra Blank Expressions as a bonus!

Be sure to consider it when preordering!! ( ･`ω･´)☆

Plus as with all of his brothers, there will also be a special Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag (Jyushimatsu Matsuno Ver.) going up for preorder at the same time as him, so be sure to pick that up as well to carry him around with you wherever you go!

▲ The yellow color and baseball theme fits perfectly!

Nendoroid Petite: Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love Revolutions – 2nd Stage

Greetings everyone!
Chan-shuu from Good Smile Company’s planning team here! (@gscs_hirase)

My fourth blog update! The first weekday update from me in a while! Today I’m going to be taking a look at this product that will be going on sale from tomorrow!

Nendoroid Petite: Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love Revolutions – 2nd Stage!

From ‘Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love Revolutions’ comes a selection of princes to join the Nendoroid Petite series!

The 2nd Stage includes Natsuki Shinomiya, Syo Kurusu and Cecil Aijima from ST☆RISH as well as Ai Mikaze and Camus from QUARTET NIGHT! Plus one secret character is also included! Each character is dressed up in their respective group’s stage outfit and is ready to create a love revolution in adorable Nendoroid Petite size!

The idols have passed 2000% and are ready to start a love revolution!

The 1st stage was released last month, and now with the second stage also coming out you can collect both together! This second stage includes five different characters as well as one secret character, which is a slightly different setup to the first stage!

▼ Let’s start up with a look at the packaging!

▲ A stylish pink package with a dotted design! ♪

The larger box here is a box-set which contains all six characters, the smaller box is a ‘blind box’ – you won’t know what character is inside until you open it!

The bottom of the boxes has a purple line which gives a nice accent, and the area where the Princes are displayed has lots of colorful stars and musical notes that bring out the cheerful atmosphere of the stage!

Let’s take a closer look at the line-up!

☆ Natsuki Shinomiya

☆ Syo Kurusu

☆ Cecil Aijima

☆ Camus

☆ Ai Mikaze


▲ A mix of characters from both ST☆RISH and QUARTET NIGHT!

Also note the little differences in outfits for the two QUARTET NIGHT Princes – very similar but their more characteristic details are faithfully preserved!

▲ Syo’s hat can also be removed and even placed on other characters!

Looking good, Camus-senpai! ｄ( ･`ω･´)


▲ I’m sure most people can also tell who the secret character is!

In addition, each purchase of a full box set will also include this background sheet as a bonus!

▼ QUARTET NIGHT Stage Background Sheet ♪


▲ It’s about the same size as the ST☆RISH Stage Background that was included with the 1st stage!


▲ QUARTET NIGHT All Together!

The mature, stylish atmosphere comes out so nicely!  *:゜☆ヽ(*’∀’*)/☆゜:。*。


▲Two rival stages!

Once you collect both the complete 1st and 2nd stage you can enjoy this lovely complete collection!

As mentioned above, these are collectable products which means a single will be a random character. However, a full box set will include Natsuki Shinomiya, Syo Kurusu, Cecil Aijima, Ai Mikaze, Camus and the secret character! ♪（＾ω＾＊三＊＾ω＾）♪
