VOTOMS ATM-09-ST SCOPEDOGTM-09-ST

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to take a look at this item currently up for preorder…

VOTOMS ATM-09-ST SCOPEDOG TM-09-ST !

From the mecha anime series that first aired in 1983 that has led to various OVA series, novels and games ‘Armored Trooper VOTOMS’ comes a 1/12th scale action figure of one of the most well-known mecha from the series – the ATM-09-ST SCOPEDOG!

The figure stands approximately 33cm in height and captures the original design from the anime series down to the finest of details. The figure is fully articulated down to the joints in each finger and can also be transformed into crouching mode. The pelvis joints of the figure can be adjusted vertically in 3-steps to adjust the leg lengths allowing for various different poses. The magazines for the arm punch attack can be loaded into the arm, and spare magazines can also be mounted on the holders found on the hip area. The included GAT-22 Heavy Machine Gun has a detachable fabric belt, barrel and stock, which allows you to convert it into short barrel form. It also features detachable machine gun magazines which can also be mounted on the hip area of the armor.

A 1/12th scale action figure of the SCOPEDOG from Armored Trooper VOTOMS!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

The unique battle-damaged paintwork that threezero is so well known for as well as the amazing sculptwork on the finer details and accessories, full articulation down to each joint in the finger… this really is the perfect SCOPEDOG figure!!

The ATM-09-ST SCOPEDOG is a highly manoeuvrable humanoid AT (Armored Trooper) that features muscle cylinders that allow it to move in a similar way to humans. It is capable of combat in a wide variety of areas include space, open land and urban areas. The bottom of the feet are fitted with gliding wheels which can easily be rotated for quick and agile movement in almost any situation, and the feet also feature ‘turn picks’ which can be deployed into the ground for emergency braking.

The trademark camera lens allows for standard zoom, wide area zoom and detailed sighting which can all be recreated on the figure by turning the lens! (´□｀｡)

The figure also comes with a 1/12th scale AT Pilot to display beside or inside the main figure!!

The rubbery appearance of the pilots outfit has been beautifully preserved, and he is also articulated allowing for all sorts of different poses! ★

▲ You can even pose him sitting down like so! ♪

But of course the main reason you will want to pose him sitting is of course to pose him riding inside the AT itself!

The inside of the cockpit is also sculpted in amazing detail! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

▲ Just enough space for one pilot!

As a side note, Nendoroid Petite Mikudayo can also ride inside the SCOPEDOG!

▲ She has a rather convincing size, doesn’t she?!

In addition, the SCOPEDOG can also be displayed in the pose just before the pilot gets into the AT! ♡

（。´-`）.｡oO（It looks so cute all bunched up like this! ）

The part he is holding on to here also opens and closes and there are all sorts of similar moving parts that make the figure all the more fun to play around with! ♪

▲ He fits inside so neatly! (/ω＼)

One last moving part I want to show off!

The Gliding Wheel that gives the SCOPEDOG its high maneuverability as well as the Turn Picks that it uses to stop its fast movement without a seconds notice both move around!! (∩・∀・)∩

You can also recreate the powerful close-combat arm punch with the figure!!

You can find a variety of more photos over on the official product page, so be sure to take a look!!(｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Bring the world of Armored Trooper VOTOMS into your collection!

Nendoroid Kyo Kusanagi: CLASSIC Ver. (THE KING OF FIGHTERS)

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I think it’s almost time to graduate from short-sleeves this year!! It’s starting to get a little chilly!! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a Nendoroid that can definitely warm things up a bit…

Nendoroid Kyo Kusanagi: CLASSIC Ver.!

From the popular game ‘THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV’ comes a Nendoroid of the heir of the Kusanagi clan who can freely control fire – Kyo Kusanagi! The Nendoroid is wearing his classic school uniform, and comes with both a standard face overflowing with confidence as well as a combat expression that matches with his signature saying perfectly!

He can easily be posed using a variety of his moves, and comes with special flame effect parts to recreate his ‘100 Shiki: Oniyaki’ and ‘Ura 108 Shiki: Orochinagi’ moves. Enjoy his impressive special moves in Nendoroid size!

“You burned?”

From the popular fighting game series loved for years around the world – THE KING OF FIGHTERS (KOF) – comes a cute Nendoroid of Kyo Kusanagi! The rolled-up sleeves, white headband and that completely fearless smile on his face… the classic Kyo Kusanagi has been captured so perfectly!!  (∩・∀・)∩

The layers of his uniform and the little details on the buttons or creases on the sleeves have been preserved beautifully!

▲ Also note the patterns on his gloves!

Kyo Kusanagi is of course the heir of the Kusanagi clan who can freely control fire – and that is shown by the bright red burning fire effect parts he holds in his left hand!!

▲ The semi-transparent material captures the burning appearance! ☆

The Nendoroid comes with two expressions, the first of which is the confident expression you see above, with the second being this shouting expression perfect for combat scenes! (´□｀｡)

He also comes with a variety of interchangeable  arm parts such as this bent arm which allow for all sorts of original combat poses and much more! ♡

Plus he also comes with even more impressive fire effect parts…

＼ CHEW ON… ／

＼ THIS! ／

Allowing you to recreate his Ura 108 Shiki: Orochinagi move in all its glory!! But that’s not all as if you combine his bent leg with the knee up and pose him carefully with these other effect parts you can also recreate the 100 Shiki: Oniyaki move as well!!! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ


▲ He’s so small and yet has such a powerful combat scenes!!

In other words, the Nendoroid comes with three different flame effect parts!!

▲ All together they have quite an impressive volume!

I’m sure fans will be able to recreate all sorts of epic scenes from the game and much more!!(●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

Megumi Kato (Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

Megumi Kato!♡

From the anime series ‘Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the main heroine who doesn’t get noticed much – Megumi Kato! Following on from the previously released Utaha Kasumigaoka and Eriri Spencer Sawamura, this figure is based on an illustration by Kurehito Misaki, the original character designer of the series!

Just like the previous figures, Megumi is posed in the middle of getting dressed with her appearance from the original illustration faithfully preserved with an intricate touch and careful painting. The figure also includes Megumi’s beret, which can be worn or removed whenever you feel like a change! The figure allows you to enjoy all the angles that were never visible on the original illustration, so be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy every inch of the figure as she stands by your side!

Includes Bonus: Original Illustration Postcard (Illustrated by: Kurehito Misaki)

“Make me a heroine that everyone else envies, okay?”

From the popular anime series ‘Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend’ which has a second season called starting next April comes a figure of the heroine who is better than most at staying under the radar – Megumi Kato is becoming a lovely 1/7th scale figure! ♪

The white one-piece and half-removed red cardigan… feet with her shoes removed and lovely long over-knee socks with cute frills on the top! Not to mention the frilly shirt that makes her look so much sweeter when compared to her normal school uniform!

Plus this innocent expression that looks like she has been taken by surprise!

Isn’t it amazing…! (/ω＼)

The blush on her cheeks as well as the pose with her mouth slightly open really makes me want to stand up and protect her from anything that might be out to harm her!!

The gradient used down toward the tips of her hair has also been beautifully applied to match the soft looking sculpt of the hair which all comes together to make her hair look so light and silky!

Let’s take a look from the back! ☆

This angle has the frills of the skirt held down providing a nice clear look at her figure from the back! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

This is actually the third in a series of figures from Saekano that all have the theme of ‘getting dressed‘!  (∩・∀・)∩

– Utaha Kasumigaoka –

▲ Released in November 2015

– Eriri Spencer Sawamura –

▲ Released in May 2016

Just like the past two figures, this figure of Megumi captures that moment that you happened to take a peek at her getting changed!!

Her graceful hands are posed gently undoing the buttons of her one-piece which open up to reveal her shapely breasts and collar bone…

The material of the one-piece that was held tight by the buttons is clearly loosened by the open buttons with a slack appearance and creases that capture the motion of the outfit so amazingly!!! It’s such a pleasure to look at!!

This angle was also never quite visible from the original illustration which makes it all the more enjoyable!! You’ll have to wait till she joins your collection to get an even better view! ♪


▲ This angle makes her look so young and innocent! ♪

Another point to note are her toes!! 

It might be a little hard to tell from the photos, but the area around her toes has an ever so slight skin-color to the paintwork which creates a slightly see-through appearance as the fabric stretches!

That same fabric also has beautiful sculpts and shadows around the knees and the back of the knees that bring out the shape and curves of her legs so brilliantly!  ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲Just the right amount of sensuality!

Plus you may have also noticed the beret that was lying at her feet in some of the photos above… which can actually be worn on her head as well for a slightly different feel!

The twisted body and the curves that become so much more clear thanks to that twist… looking from this angle shows the chest ribbon undone but doesn’t quite show the chest area… but that just allows you to focus more on the captivating bare skin that peeks out at her upper arm as well as between her dress and socks! (´□｀。)

Plus just like the previous figures in the series she also comes with a Original Illustration Postcard (Illustrated by: Kurehito Misaki)! ♥

▲ Included no matter where you choose to purchase! ♪

Be sure to add the boring girlfriend to your collection! The 1/7th scale…

Megumi Kato!♡

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!! 

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company Official Website for more details!

figma Link & Zelda: Twilight Princess ver. (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Strength, intelligence, courage… I hope  I’ll be able to gain at least one of those traits eventually!

Hello everyone! My name is Isono, a member of Max Factory’s planning team! Today I’m going to be taking a look at these products that went up for preorder today!

%image_alt%

figma Link: Twilight Princess ver. &
figma Zelda: Twilight Princess ver.!

(*Each sold separately!)

From The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess comes a figma main character and hero of the series Link together with the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda!

They’re both so amazing!! So… beautiful!!! With just one quick glance at the figures you can tell that the sculpting and painting of both is so amazingly detailed!! Let’s take a closer look at them one-by-one! Ladies first!

figma Zelda: Twilight Princess ver.!

%image_alt%
▲ This first photo shows off her dignified expression as well as the sword that she holds at the ready! 

▼ Let’s also take a look at the back…

%image_alt%

She looks beautiful no matter what side you choose to look at her from! The somewhat mysterious atmosphere about the Twilight Princess version of Zelda has also been captured so nicely!

The first thing that really stands out about figma Zelda is the lovely colors! The paintwork on her accessories, dress and skirt almost all make use of a pearl paint which gives her outfit a silky, gorgeous shine. That said, the shine is by no means a glittery effect, but more of an elegant gleam that creates a lovely dignified look at captures Zelda beautifully!

By the way, although you can’t see them in these photos, Zelda’s pants and boots have also been faithfully sculpted and painted underneath the dress!

▼Another thing to note is the intricate changes in color all over the figure!

%image_alt%

The arrows all point to areas that have been painted with the utmost attention to detail!

%image_alt%

▲ Next up we have her smiling expression!

Such a gentle smile that just overflows with both kindness and beauty! The next point I want to make everyone aware of is the accessories and ornaments on her outfit… the shoulder armor, crown and various other parts are all made using 3D sculpting! The fact that they are made this way allows the more intricate patterns and shapes to be preserved!

%image_alt%

▲ The Bow of Light she used in the battle with Ganondorf is also included!

The bow also of course features pearl paint! The bow and arrow itself has also been beautifully sculpted from top to bottom creating stunning beauty that you would normally never associate with a weapon! The skirt is also articulated allowing for a wide range of different posing options!

figma Zelda: Twilight Princess ver.!

She comes with two expressions: a standard expression and smiling expression as well as two accessories: a sword and the Bow of Light!

She will be available for ¥5,600 (Before Tax)!

Next up, we move onto the hero of our story…

figma Link: Twilight Princess ver.

%image_alt%

▲ This confident expression with tense eyes always leaves such a strong impression!

The build of his body has been captured so nicely showing off just how handsome this version of Link is!! The overall sober tone of colors used makes him look a little more grown-up compared to the previous figma figures of Link! Let’s take a closer look at his heroic outfit!!

▼ The arrows here show the chain mail armor made with 3D sculpting!

%image_alt%

You can see each of the little chain links creating a lovely texture for the armor!

▼There us also a joint located in the hat, which allows it to be moved around both horizontally and vertically!

%image_alt%

%image_alt%

%image_alt%

▲ Next up we have a face with clenched teeth!

This glaring expression is perfect for combat poses and instantly makes Link look more skilled with his weapons! The series classics have been included with the Master Sword and Hylian Shield both included!

▼ The Master Sword can also be sheathed on his back!

%image_alt%

%image_alt%

▲ A powerful shouting expression is also included!

This makes for a very daring and resolute appearance that looks great with dynamic poses like the one above!

To summarize…

figma Link: Twilight Princess ver.!

He comes with three expressions: a standard expression, clenched teeth expression and shouting expression as well as two accessories: the Master Sword and Hylian Shield!

He will be available for ¥5,093 (Before Tax)!

But that’s not all!!

Once again we have a special DX Edition that comes with a variety of bonus items for way more posing options that bring out the Legend of Zelda universe!

%image_alt%

▲ The Ordon Sword and scabbard used by Link at the start of the game! 

%image_alt%

▲ The Hero’s Bow and Arrow and Hawkeye!

%image_alt%

▲ The Ball and Chain!

%image_alt%

▲ And the Clawshot!!

Plus the Clawshot comes in both an opened and closed form for different posing opportunities!

All of these amazing items are included with the DX Edition!

· Ordon Sword and Scabbard
· Hero’s Bow and Arrow
· Hawkeye
· Ball and Chain
· Clawshot

Just look at the full line-up of parts all lined up with the DX Edition!

%image_alt%

figma Link: Twilight Princess ver. DX Edition

Everything above will cost just ¥6,000 (Before Tax)!

If you’re not sure which version to get, I highly recommend saving up just a little more for the DX Edition! The extra parts add so much play value and different variations that are so much fun! v(‘ω’*v)

Both of these products will be available as standard products in stores as well as from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP! They are both up for preorder as of today!! Don’t miss out!!

We’ve also set up a special page that takes a look at some of the finer points and details of the figure, so be sure to take a look at the link below!

Isobelle Pascha X Otome no Teikoku

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe)  from the Corporate Planning Division here!

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

Isobelle Pascha X Otome no Teikoku!

threeA x High School Girls! Six different girls dressed in uniform from Otome no Teikoku!

A collaboration product between Ashley Wood’s female figure series ‘THE WORLD OF ISOBELLE PASCHA’ and Torajiro Kishi’s manga series ‘Otome Teikoku’! Six more high school girls are being released in Isobelle Pascha style! Each figure is 1/6 scale and stands approximately 31cm in height and is fully articulated. The uniforms are made from real fabric and come complete with a full set of underwear to wear beneath the uniforms or to display separately for a more sexy appearance!

Seven cute girls from threeA’s THE WORLD OF ISOBELLE PASCHA made in collaboration with the manga ‘Otome no Teikoku’ for a lovely collection!! Let’s take a closer look at each of them! ♪

MAHIRO/MAHIRU

Mahiro and Mahiro are twins that always wear the same clothes. Mahiro has purple hair while Mahiru has pink hair! The uniform, cute hoodie and socks are all made from fabric for a lovely appearance!

CHIE

Chie’s characteristic blond hair has been recreated with a lovely yellow color, and the cute tailed eyelashes look lovely! ♡

AI

Both the color and style of Ai’s hair really make her look special! The cardigan tied around her hips also gives her a stylish touch, but it can also be worn, or just placed over her shoulders… simply choose how you would like to see her!! (੭ु´･ω･`)੭ु⁾⁾

MIYOSHI

Miyoshi is the only one of the Otome no Teikoku characters that includes a blazer! You can also have the other characters wear the blazer instead though! (*’▽’)

AYANO

Ayano has a rather simple hairstyle making her a nice addition to home decorations that doesn’t stand out too much!!

Last but not least. we have this GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP Exclusive… which will no longer be available once sold out!

Mask Senpai

A collaboration product between Ashley Wood’s female figure series ‘THE WORLD OF ISOBELLE PASCHA’ and Torajiro Kishi’s manga series ‘Otome Teikoku’! High school girls are being released in Isobelle Pascha style! The first in the series is ‘Mask Senpai’, which will be sold as a Wonder Festival 2016 (Summer) Exclusive!

She is a third year student in the manga research club and loves BL manga set in the past. She writes her own manga under the pen name Yokoyama Bozaemon where she lets her mind run free! (Otome no Teikoku is currently serialized on Shueisha Grand Jump WEB! http://grandjump.shueisha.co.jp/ )

The figure is 1/6 scale, stands approximately 32cm in height and is fully articulated. Her outfit is made from real fabric and the characteristic mask and over-sized cardigan have both been faithfully included on the figure. A manga book (printed on paper) and a spare mask wrapped in vinyl are included in the same scale.

Mask Senpai’s unique hairstyle has been faithfully preserved, and the mask she wears is actually made from gauze!  The stylish long knitwear also gives her a rather different impression when compared to the other 6 girls above! It’s lovely to display them together and compare the difference in their traits and appearance that have been captured so nicely in Ashley Wood taste! ♥

You can see many more photos of each of the characters on their official product pages, so be sure to take a look if you’re interested!! I’m going to give three points that I personally really like about the series!

Point 1: A Unique Look that Suits Indoor Designs

Just placing them around without worrying too much about the posing makes for a rather lovely atmosphere!! ♪

Point 2: Clothes and Underwear

The clothes and underwear are all made from actual fabric and can be worn, removed and swapped around whenever you like!! You can even make slightly sexy poses showing off a peek at the underwear like above!

Point 3:  Mechanical Beauty

A low angle like this gives a nice little peek at the panties, but the mechanical look of the arms and legs creates quite a peculiar contrast with the cute underwear!

A bonus shot of Mask Senpai in her underwear!

There were no photos of Mask Senpai undressed on the product page, so I decided I had to add one to the blog!!

threeA’s…

Isobelle Pascha X Otome no Teikoku

Currently Up For Preorder!

Orders in Japan can be made at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP until the 5th October 2016! Mask Senpai is also available from the international store, but orders will close as soon as stock is sold out!

Nendoroid Chika Takami (LoveLive! Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can always tell what season it is just by the fruits that are in season!
*nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

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

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive! Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the second year student at Uranohoshi Girls who started the Aqours idol group, Chika Takami! She has been sculpted in her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’!

She comes with both an energetic smiling expression as well as a winking expression, and a variety of different parts allow you to pose her in various different dance poses from the opening theme of the anime series! Be sure to enjoy her together with the other members of Aqours who are also planned to join the Nendoroid series! ♪

“We want to shine!”

The second year student at Uranohoshi Girls who pulls everyone along with her cheerful and energetic attitude, Chika Takami is joining the Nendoroids! Her short hairstyle,  sparkling eyes, cute hair accessory and more have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid form! She is wearing the stage outfit from the opening song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’ which has also been sculpted in lovely, intricate detail! ♪

▲ Even the design at the collar has been faithfully included!

The very first photo has her posed in the pose where the nine members are all together, but she comes with a selection of interchangeable hand and leg parts to recreate all sorts of different poses! ☆

For example! Here I’ve made use of the bent left and right leg parts and the straight arms to create an energetic jumping pose!! :.ﾟヽ(´∀`｡)ﾉﾟ.:｡+ﾟ

From this angle you can also see the braided hair on the side along with her blue scrunchy and small but detailed earrings! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Along with the cheerful smiling face above, she also comes with a face plate with a cute winking expression! ♥

The winking expression together with a special set of alternate arm and hand parts also allow you to recreate this scene from the opening theme!!

▲ I can just hear the lyrics playing in my head!!

Her little hat can also be removed for a slightly different appearance! Simply choose whichever you think suits her pose better! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

▲ Removing the hat actually gives quite a different impression!

By changing the angle of her arms the pointing hand can create all sorts of different poses with varying nuances! I’m looking forward to seeing some original dancing poses from fans!!

▲ Shhh! Posed as if telling you to keep quiet about her secrets!

Plus… All the other members of Aqours are also going to be joining the Nendoroids!!

Stay tuned for more information!!  (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

Add the energetic Chika-chan to your collection!

Nendoroid Chika Takami!

Shūden-chan Official Goods

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Before I started working adult I always used to think the word ‘shūden’ which means ‘last train’ had a rather romantic feeling about it… I’m not really sure why, but I think I had connected it with a kind of Cinderella story in my mind…

NAMCO Arcade Machine Collection (Tank Battalion / PAC-MAN / Galaga / Galaxian / RALLY-X)

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We’ve reached the months of the year where a cup of warm tea really hits the spot! Because of that my percentage of Japanese snacks has increased quite substantially! (Mostly dango!)

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at one of FREEing’s items that went up for preorder earlier today…

NAMCO Arcade Machine Collection
(Tank Battalion / PAC-MAN / Galaga / Galaxian / RALLY-X)!

Legendary NAMCO brand arcade game machines are being transformed into 1/12th scale miniatures! The game line-up includes classic games such as Tank Battalion, PAC-MAN, Galaga, Galaxian and RALLY-X!

Using the original designs of the arcade machines the shape and size together with the placement of the joysticks and buttons and even the artwork have all been miniaturized as faithfully as possible! The machines can easily be used together with 1/12th scale figures to have your favourite figures playing the classic NAMCO games!

*Each sold separately

Legendary arcade game machines recreated in detailed miniature size!

I’m sure there are many figure fans out there that will remember these arcade machines! They have all been faithfully converted into 1/12th scale miniature size for fans to enjoy as is, or to display with similar sized figures such as figmas! ★

⇒ Product Details

The actual frame of the machines are obviously made to look just like the originals, but that’s not all! The actual screen, the position of the buttons and even the area to insert the coins are all intricately made and faithful to the original machines!!

These are all ‘upright’ video arcade machines, which simply means they are made to be played while standing! It brings back memories of the retro games from the movie ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ for me! (∩・∀・)∩

The line-up includes these five games!

– Tank Battalion –

– PAC-MAN –

– Galaga –

– Galaxian –

– RALLY-X –

（。´-`）.｡oO（ I know of PAC-MAN and Galaga thanks to the movie Pixels, but I honestly don’t know anything about the other three… but they are so colorful and the 8-bit graphics look so cute!）

This should give a better idea of the size! ♪

▲ The 1/12 scale matches with figma figures nicely! ☆

The joysticks and buttons on the machines have all been elaborately included on the designs, so posing the machines with someone to play on them creates a rather realistic scene!

▲ I can just imagine the clicky-clacky sounds of the joystick moving!

Plus if you line-up a number of the machines you can recreate a complete game arcade for your figures!! This should allow for all sorts of fun situations in the figure world!! ヽ(゜∀゜ヽ 三 ノ゜∀゜)ノ

▼Here we have The Thinker carefully thinking which game to play with his ¥100 coin!

▼ “Man… this guy is good!” The kind of thing most people think when watching someone play.

As you can see they are awesome to display just by themselves, but using them as accessories to figures can create a lovely world for your figures to come alive in! (/ω＼)

Add some classic arcade games to your figure collection!

NAMCO Arcade Machine Collection!
(Tank Battalion / PAC-MAN / Galaga / Galaxian / RALLY-X)

Nendoroid Tatsumaki (One-Punch Man)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

From the popular anime series ‘One-Punch Man’ comes a Nendoroid of the S-Class Rank 2 superhero, the ‘Tornado of Terror’ Tatsumaki! She comes with both a calm, collected and rather mysterious standard expression as well as a combat expression for battle scenes.

Her naturally curly green hair also comes with an interchangeable version to display the hair more ruffled up after using her esper abilities. She also includes some debris to control with her esper powers allowing you to recreate some psychic action scenes from the series!

The ‘Tornado of Terror’ that defeats monsters with her supernatural powers!

A youthful appearance, selfish personality and S-Class Rank 2 Esper abilities – the ‘Tornado of Terror’ Tatsumaki is joining the Nendoroids! Her characteristic naturally curly green hair, black dress that shows off her legs rather boldly and those sharp eyes that give her a confident air have all been transformed into Nendoroid size so perfectly!

The curly hair has of course been faithfully included all the way around the back as well! Let’s take a closer look!!

Looking from this angle though the first thing I notice isn’t her hair, but instead the way her dress fits so closely to her body!! Even as a Nendoroid you can make out her curves from under the dress!! The very first photo also showed this off nicely as you can even see her belly button thanks to the tight dress!!

You really need to experience the lovely sculpting with your own two eyes… and hands!!

Her outfit shows off her legs very nicely and she also comes with bent leg parts which along with the Nendoroid stand allow you to pose her flying through the air! ♪

▲（´-`） .｡o○ （You can almost see more than I should be showing…!)

Hmm…? But how many of you have noticed that something else has also changed with this pose?!

Tatsumaki comes with an alternate hair part!!

Two different front hair parts are included – the left one is to display her making use of her supernatural powers while the one on the right is her standard hair!! You simply need to swap out the parts for the more ruffled appearance of her hair when she uses her powers!!

But that’s not all!!

The sides and back of her hair also come with a set of interchangeable parts to match the ruffled up look from the front to complete the alternate look! ★

Simply switch out the parts that match your pose best!! For example, here we have Tatsumaki in full battle mode with all the ruffled hair parts attached together with her combat expression!!

The Nendoroid also comes with a selection of debris parts each with their own little stands which you can pose together with Tatsumaki to pose her using her telekinesis!

▲ Even the back side of the debris is lovely and detailed! (・∀・)

She also looks great posed as if throwing out just one of the pieces of debris – a quick battle scene that would look great posed with other Nendoroids! ♪

Simply pose the Tornado of Terror however you think she looks best! ♥

Plus you can also pose her with the previously released Nendoroids from the series to bring out the One-Punch Man atmosphere even more!  (●´Д｀●)ﾉ

▲ Recreate that scene together with Nendoroid Saitama!

Plus, Nendoroid Genos: Super Movable Edition is scheduled to be released in December 2016!

He’ll be joining your collection soon! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Be sure to add the adorable S-class superhero to your collection! ♥

Nendoroid Tatsumaki!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company website for more details!

Yukino Yukinoshita: Kimono Ver. (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU!)

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe)  from the Corporate Planning Division here!

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

SOUYOKUSHA’s 1/6th Scale Figure:
Yukino Yukinoshita: Kimono Ver.!

Love at first sight! Yukinon dressed in a lovely kimono!

From the popular anime series ‘My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO!’ comes a 1/6th scale figure of Yukino Yukinoshita wearing a kimono! Her long black hair matches with the purple kimono beautifully and her lovely face and curves can be enjoyed from various different angles!

The intricate coloring of the kimono and carefully designed cherry blossom print on her Japanese umbrella all come together to create a stunning figure of Yukinon for fans to add to their collection! Make sure you don’t miss out!

The President of the Service Club is most commonly remembered wearing her school uniform, but now you can enjoy Yukino’s beautiful looks in a lovely kimono together with a Japanese umbrella that gives the figure such a lovely balance! Plus she also comes with a lovely fluffy white base!!

So… beautiful!! (/_;)

She has a rather wistful, listless look to her eyes, but once you look into them you just can’t seem to look away! I hope that same feeling manages you reach everyone through their screens!! I can just imagine how things would end if I met someone like this in the rain…

This is how she looks from the back! ▼

The detail of the cherry blossom pattern on her umbrella looks beautiful, with ever so slightly colored petals creating a treat for the eyes! You can also see her beautiful legs sticking out from the back! If we move in a little closer…

Those creases around her bottom!!

The arms and legs that peek out from the kimono with the fabric falling around them is really something that can only be enjoyed because she is wearing a kimono!!

Also note the dainty little fingers!! ▼

Even the finger nails have been painted with a light pink that brings out her feminine side!

Ah, such a lovely flowing kimono…!

Dressed in a kimono with an umbrella out, falling down to her knees with her legs coming out of the kimono showing a fair amount of skin! How on earth did she get into this situation?! Not that I’m complaining! In fact, I send out my thanks to the sculptor!!

Another bit of lovely detail – the flowers on the sash!

All of the little flowers are so detailed, and even each feature different gradient paintwork!! This is going to be a mission to manufacture!!

Personally I quite enjoyed this angle! A slightly upward gaze that gets you a nice look at her lovely legs!

Will you accept the club president’s service?

SOUYOKUSHA’s 1/6th Scale…
Yukino Yukinoshita: Kimono Ver.

Up for preorder from the 21st September!

You’ll have to wait until next week to preorder her!

Anyway that’s all from me for today! I hope I’ll be able to see you all again…
