Grand Order)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Max Factory’s 1/7th scale…
Berserker/Tamamo Cat! ★

From the popular smartphone game ‘Fate/Grand Order’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the Berserker class servant, Tamamo Cat! She has been sculpted wearing her lovely bright red kimono.

Her cute facial expression and pose has been captured faithfully, with the contrasting bare shoulders giving the figure a bit of a sexy side as well! The hands and tail has also been carefully crafted to capture the fluffy-looking appearance as realistically as possible! Be sure to add the adorable Tamamo Cat to your Chaldea!

“Master! It’s time for walkies! You bring the collar!”

From Fate/Grand Order comes a figure of one of the members of the Tamamo Nine – Tamamo Cat! ♥

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Her fluffy ears, puffy hands and feet with soft looking paws, the rather revealing yet still cute Japanese-style outfit and that cute expression filled with happiness and curiosity have all captured the cute yet innocent charm of her character for fans to enjoy by their side!

The large ponytail and bushy tail have some impressive volume to them!

Perhaps the most important thing about Tamamo Cat is her animal parts, and they have been faithfully included with the same impressive size that they had in the original illustration! The fluffy parts even look like they would be fluffy to the touch! (ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

▲The contrast between her innocent face and her sexy body is so delicious!

The sole of the paws as well as each of the giant toes have all been sculpted with a soft, squishy appearance! It’s hard to believe that the figure is made from a solid, hard material!

▲ You can’t help but want to squeeze it! (ﾉ)・ω・(ヾ)

Moving a little further up the legs we also see she is wearing over-the-knee socks, and the paintwork has been carefully adjusted to show which parts of the material are stretched out showing more skin color, and the less stretched areas that remain black! ★

▲ Such amazing paintwork!

The sculpt and paintwork all come together nicely to differentiate the different textures of her outfit and also make her skin look so lovely and soft looking! Not to mention all the lovely furry looking bits! And the shiny bell!!

▲ The details inside her sleeve has also been faithfully preserved!

There really are an endless number of highlights on the figure, but perhaps my favorite is all the care skin on her back! Just look at those lovely shoulder blades!

The ability to enjoy the figure from all sorts of different angles is what sets it apart from the original illustration! ♥

Be sure to enjoy the cute Tamamo Cat in your collection!

Megumi Tokoro: Enchanting Sexy Dance Ver. (THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE!)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Phat! Company’s 1/8th scale…
Megumi Tokoro: Enchanting Sexy Dance Ver.!

From the popular idol production game “THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE!!” comes a 1/8th scale figure of Megumi Tokoro based on the “Enchanting Sexy Dance” illustration from the game!

The figure captures the sexy and dynamic pose from the original illustration for fans to enjoy from any angle they please! The glittering accessories and outfit together with her radiant smile and winking expression create a figure that is not to be missed!

“What do you think producer? I’m super gorgeous, right?”

From THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE!! comes a 1/8th scale figure of the considerate high-school girl with a rather stunning body – Megumi Tokoro! ♥

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Let’s start off with a quick spin! ♪

Isn’t she beautiful?!

The dynamic feel of her hair and the fabric of her outfit as she twists her hips has been faithfully captured on the figure. The outstretched arm and extended fingers are also lovely!

It’s one of those figures that is just asking to be looked at from all sorts of different angles! ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

A closer look at her hair accessory! ♪

▲ Makes use of translucent parts for a transparent appearance! ☆

The sexy dancer outfit she wears is filled with little accessories and patterns that have all been carefully sculpted and painted for a very pleasing appearance! ε=(｡・д・｡)

If we zoom in much closer…

You can tell that even her necklace and earrings are swinging with the motion of her dance! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

While they are just a small part of the motion conveyed by the figure, all the smaller parts come together to create the dynamic pose of the complete figure! You can also place her at a slightly lower angle so she is looking up at you just like on the original illustration for the card in the game! ★

▲ Careful sculpting all the way to her fingertips!

But let’s not ignore perhaps the most eye-catching details of the figure!! Just look at the soft, sexy look of the curves of her body!

That twist in her hips, the gentle slope of her stomach, the curves from her arm to her chest and the impressive bosom!! It really looks like her skin would be soft to the touch!! (灬ºωº灬)

Speaking of soft, also take note of her legs!

The lace-up high heels give a rather grown-up appearance to her cute little feet! The way the lace squeezes her calves brings out that delicious soft look even more! *nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

The curves from her knee up to her thighs are also so alluring!

▲ The layers of her outfit are all individually sculpted with a light, flowing appearance!

Although it is quite difficult to see, if you find an angle where you can see her back it has also been sculpted in lovely detail! It also shows the twist in her hips very realistically! ε- (´ー`*)

▲ Be sure to take a peek past her lovely long hair! ♪

Be enchanted with this sexy dancer by your side!

Saber/Attila (Fate/Grand Order)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/8th scale…
Saber/Attila!

From the popular smartphone game ‘Fate/Grand Order’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the Servant-class servant who wields Photon Ray, the War God’s Sword – Attila! The figure is based on an original illustration by huke!

The figure captures the mysterious air of Attila’s character through her expression, with her powerful yet supple brown-skinned arms and legs all sculpted in careful detail with close supervision by huke to create a work of art that fans will be proud to own.

Her iconic long, white veil and the unique colors and transparency of Photon Ray’s blade make use of translucent parts to create a faithful rendition of the original illustration in figure form. Be sure to add the proud yet wistful Attila to your collection!

“I will not destroy life. I will demolish civilization.”

From “Fate/Grand Order” comes a stunning scale figure of the proud and rational warrior with a mysterious emptiness to her – the Saber-class servant Attila!

At first glance it way seem like a rather simple standing pose, but the dynamic sculpt of the veil and outfit around her hips give the figure some really impressive details and volume!! ヽ(*´Д｀*)ﾉ

The movement of the outfit is most likely the first thing that captures your eye, but when you look closer you can really see the hard work put into the details and intricacy of the sculpt!

▲ These frills are so thin!

But the outfit is just one of many highlights! As the figure actually shows more skin than it hides, you can also get a nice look at her body’s curves and dark skin.

A truly magnificent body with sculptwork that captures the soft look around her hips and stomach. The pose also causes her rib cage to become quite a prominent feature that leads up to her chest creating a lovely little gap between her body and her outfit. The collarbone and the curves from her armpits to her chest are also such a wonderful sight!

Looking at this figure I can’t help but think it’s more of a work of art than a figure from a game… but at the same time it caters to various different fetishes at the same time!

Attila herself stands about 270mm in height, but with the sword included the figure stands 445mm in height!

You can’t really tell when looking from the back, but from the side you get a good feel for the sheer size of the long veil extending behind her! (∩・∀・)∩

Let’s take a step back quickly and first take a look at the original illustration by huke that the figure was based on!

▲ The first time this image has been shown! ♪

The illustration is filled with a powerful, imposing appearance and yet also somehow captures a more hidden, delicate side to her at the same time!

The figure has been very carefully tuned to be as faithful to the original illustration as possible, keeping the unique charm and style of huke’s design while converting it into a three dimensional version for fans to enjoy from any angle they please!

▲ Look into those eyes! Don’t they just draw you in?

Another highlight of the figure that helped to capture the appearance from the illustration is the use of translucent parts for the edge of the patterned veil, as well as on Photon Ray, the War God’s Sword. (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The translucent parts look slightly different depending on how the light hits them, adding to the mystique of the character!

The head sculptor for the figure was Manabu Katou from GSC’s production team, and when I asked him what his personal favorite point on the figure was he told me it was her back! (~~I could have sworn Manabu had a leg fetish, but maybe I’m thinking of someone else.)~~

From most angles her back is normally covered up with the veil which makes it quite difficult to see, but when you do get a good look at it from the side or from a lower angle you can enjoy the various up-and-downs of her spine and the upright pose!

Also note the neat white stripes all over her body including the back!

▲ I adore this angle!!

I also love the look of her knees! (*´﹃｀*)

That bumpy feeling of the knee has been captured by both the sculpt and the paintwork so beautifully. While the legs are thin they also have a bit of a meaty feel to them that make it look like they would be soft to the touch.

The planning team’s Chan Shuu-senpai who was in charge of this figure says his favorite point is the way the hair extends out from the veil! (´□｀｡)

▲ Note the mark on her forehead hidden behind the hair!
The wonders of being able to see from any angle you choose!

Along with that he also spoke about his love for the stomach area as well as the contrast between the white outfit and the darker skin! Definitely two points worth noting! (/ω＼)

This is one of those figures that I really want everyone add to their collections and enjoy for themselves! There is just so much to see and appreciate!!

Be sure to add the proud warrior to your collection!!
1/8th Scale Saber/Attila!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Nendoroid Rin & Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver.

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have astigmatic vision which makes me see twin moons when I look up at the moon. But I can see the patterns nice and clearly!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Rin Kagamine : Harvest Moon Ver. &
Nendoroid Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver.!

Outfits based on the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival! ★

Just like the previously released Miku-san, the outfits are based on illustrations by the Chinese illustrator Rella!

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Harvest Moon Ver.

▲ Released in November 2015

▲ The illustrations that the Nendoroids are based on!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them! ♪
Nendoroid Rin Kagamine : Harvest Moon Ver.

From the “Character Vocal Series 02: Kagamine Rin/Len” comes a Nendoroid of Kagamine Rin dressed up in outfit based on those seen at the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.

While the colors used for her outfit have a mature look, the beautiful raiment flowing around her keeps her bright orange image color. She comes with both a cute smiling face plate, as well as a self-satisfied expression as if she had just enjoyed playing a prank on Len. She also comes with a cute white bunny which can be held, as well as a beautiful lotus lamp for her to hold.

A special background panel that brings out the atmosphere of moon viewing is also included, illustrated by the same artist that designed Rin’s outfit – the Chinese illustrator Rella. Be sure to display her together with Nendoroid Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver. and gaze upon the beauty of the moon with Rin and Len by your side!

A sweet figure of Rin heading out to view the moon!

The background panel is included with the figure and comes with its own attachment parts to display behind her like this! The sheet is also illustrated by Rella, the same illustrator that designed the outfits for the characters.

The fluttering frills on her sleeves, haori made from translucent parts and high belt on her waist give Rin a more grown-up appearance than her usual outfit! ♪

▲ This is how she looks from the back!

She also comes with an adorable little bunny which she can hold in her arms!! Just look at that sweet smile on his face!!

▲ The bunny has a bit of a plump appearance! I want to pet him!!

She also comes with a lotus lamp that also uses a translucent material! ♪

▲She looks like she could lead us into a fairytale! ♪

Although the outfit is rather simple, the details on the included parts and accessories is really impressive! The lotus lamp is once thing, but also take a look at the intricate detail of her hair accessories!!

▲ Her trademark white ribbon also has a translucent appearance!☆

Along with her smiling expression above, she also comes with…

A cute self-satisfied face plate that suits her so well!!

Simply select the expression you prefer and enjoy Rin-chan by your side! ♡

Nendoroid Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver.!

From the “Character Vocal Series 02: Kagamine Rin/Len” comes a Nendoroid of Kagamine Len dressed up in outfit based on those seen at the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.

He comes with both vibrant smiling face plate as well as an embarrassed face plate for when he is tricked by Rin! Two cute little bunnies are also included which Len can hold or simply be displayed lying beside him, and he also comes with a Nendoroid-sized Chinese tea set as well as some bunny ear parts for a more playful display!

A special background panel that brings out the atmosphere of moon viewing is also included, illustrated by the same artist that designed Len’s outfit – the Chinese illustrator Rella. Be sure to display him together with Nendoroid Rin Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver. and gaze upon the beauty of the moon with Rin and Len by your side!

Len is going out moon viewing with cute bunnies by his side!

The background panel is the same as Rin-chan’s panel for the perfect twin display!! The wispy clouds and full moon make for a rather romantic atmosphere! (*´ｪ`*)

Len comes with two marshmallow-like bunnies! ♪

▲ He can hold the bunnies or just have them sleeping by his side! ♡

Taking a look from the back! ☆

The grey-orange gradient of his outfit has been beautifully preserved! Also note the adorable round tail of the bunny!! ♪

As a side note, the short little ponytail is fitted with a ball joint allowing you to move it around as you see fit! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ Simply match the hair with any pose you want!

Along with the bunnies, he also comes with a Nendoroid-sized Chinese tea set! (∩・∀・)∩

A cute set of teal utensils on a tray! ♥

Plus he also comes with a second face plate as well as a rather playful optional part that matches up with Rin’s second face plate perfectly! ★

An embarrassed expression and bunny ears!

The expression makes for such a nice contrast to his standard, confident smile!! The wriggly mouth and red cheeks make him look so very out of his element!

If you pose Rin-chan with her self-satisfied expression next to him it makes it look like she is proud to have put the ears on Len!♪

▲ “There is no way this suits me!”
“It looks perfect! I knew my selection would look great!”

They two of them look so adorable displayed together!! As a side note, these items are scheduled to be released around the time the harvest moon rises in mid-Autumn! ^^

Spend a night moon-watching with Rin and Len!

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Female/Male Ver.

Hello everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Female/Male Ver.!

A brand new selection of items joining the Nendoroid More series to bring even more display options to your Nendoroids! This time there are both male and female sets to dress-up your favorite Nendoroids in Halloween style! (*´ω`*)

I was actually in charge of planning these items, so I’m going to try and bring out as much of their charm as possible!!! Let’s start off with the male version!

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Male Ver.!

Transform your favorite Nendoroid into a vampire for Halloween!

The Nendoroid More series is a selection of items created to make Nendoroids even more enjoyable, and this new set of items combines the popular After Parts and Dress Up series into a single themed set to dress up your favorite characters for Halloween!

This Male Ver. of the set comes with a vampire body, bats, a black cat, a cross, a zombie’s right hand sticking out the ground and a special Halloween-themed base. The set also includes a selection of stickers including scars, blood, claws and spiderwebs that can be stuck onto Nendoroid face plates, hair parts and bodies allowing for even more dress up options!

Be sure to display it together with the Halloween Set Female Ver. (sold separately) and create your very own Nendoroid Halloween party!

*Images are for illustrative purposes only. No Nendoroid head parts are included with this product.
*The design of this product may not be compatible with all Nendoroid character designs.

Manufacturer: Good Smile Company
Category: Nendoroid More
Release Date: 2017/8
Price: ¥2,315 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: knead (kan-D!, Nikuribon)

In other words, the theme for the male version is a vampire and his friends in a graveyard!

▼Set Contents

▲A nice selection of parts as well as a set of stickers!

I’m sure there are lots of girls like me out there that want to transform their favorite characters into vampires and offer their blood for the greater good!! Which is why I decided that the male Halloween dress-up would focus on the vampire theme!! (*´ω`*）

▲ I love the black cape blowing in the wind! ♡

The cape can also be removed which means that you can still use the dress-up parts with characters with longer hair that might get in the way of the cape!

▲ Without the cape he leaves quite a different impression too! ♡

Along with the body itself the set also includes other items to bring out the Halloween theme such as bats and a black cat!

Another more unique part is the zombie hand crawling out from the grave! The hands have been shrunk to Nendoroid size which make them rather cute, but they have a rather distasteful color scheme to bring out that zombie feel!! The right hand is included with the male version while the left hand is included with the female version!

▲ If you grab both sets you can display the two hands together as a single zombie trying to dig his way out!

A cross is also included which is designed to be used as a kind of background, but it can also be put in front or elsewhere to create all sorts of interesting situations!

▲A vampire targeting an innocent witch from behind the cross…

In addition, a special Halloween-themed base is also included with a purple and orange chequered pattern! The same design is included with the female set!

Moving on, let’s take a look at the Female Ver.!

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Male Ver!

Transform your favorite Nendoroid into a witch or devil for Halloween!

This Female Ver. of the set comes with a witch body, devil-themed parts including a horn, pitchfork and tail, a jack-o’-lantern, ghost, a zombie’s left hand sticking out the ground and a special Halloween-themed base. The set also includes a selection of stickers including scars, blood, claws and spiderwebs that can be stuck onto Nendoroid face plates, hair parts and bodies allowing for even more dress up options!

Manufacturer: Good Smile Company

Sculptor: knead (kan-D!, Nikuribon)

The theme for the Female version is a witch that is ready to trick you if you don’t give her treats! Plus a ghost!

▼Set Contents

I had a lot of trouble deciding what outfit the female version should use! There are too many options for Halloween… but I think the most common dress-up would be a witch, so that was what I decided on! Plus she comes with a jack-o’-lantern shaped bucket to collect her candy!

▲ Trick or Treat with a ghost!

The ghost was specially designed to look cute and gentle to better suit the Nendoroid world! I love the wiggling appearance of his tail at the back!

▲ If you position him carefully he looks a bit like he is carrying the bucket!

However! I wanted some more posing options which is why I also included a few parts which make for a slightly different appearance! Devil attachment parts! (*´ω`*）

▲ The blood stickers suit the devilish look so well!!

Both sets come with a set of stickers that can be stuck to the face plates, hair or anywhere else for a nice little dress-up effect!! ♪

▲ A bunch of stickers to match the Halloween theme!!

The stickers are designed to easily stick onto even curved surfaces, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble attaching them to different parts! ♪

Nendoroid Belle (Disney’s Beauty and the Beast)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My craving to go to Disneyland has recently been on the rise. Every single time I visit I have to go and watch PhilharMagic!! I love it!!

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

From Disney’s animated feature film “Beauty and the Beast” comes a Nendoroid of Belle! She comes with two different face plates that both capture her personality and allow for all sorts of cute and fun poses!

The figure has been sculpted wearing the memorable yellow dress from the ballroom scene, which has been carefully converted into Nendoroid size and painted with great attention to detail. Combined with the two different face plates, the Nendoroid allows fans to create various different situations in Nendoroid size.

Optional parts include both Mrs. Potts and Chip, as well as the enchanted rose and the magic mirror that showed the Beast. A clear sheet featuring the Beast is also included together with a stand to display beside her. Be sure to add this adorable Disney Princess to your collection!

The Disney Princess who wished for adventure like those in her beloved books.

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

With the recent live action film, “Beauty and the Beast” is as popular as ever, and now the classic animated version of Belle is even getting an adorable Nendoroid figure!!

Belle is one of my favorite Disney Princesses so I was really excited to hear she would be transformed into a Nendoroid!! She has that gentle Princess touch but also has the charming aspect of being a daydreamer!

Belle is one of many Disney and Pixar Nendoroids that were announced during the 2017 Winter Wonder Festival! There are still many more characters coming to join her! ★

▲ Even the frills on the inside have been carefully sculpted! ♪

The figure also comes with a lovely selection of accessories and parts to display together with Belle herself! Let’s take a closer look at them one by one!

◆ Mrs. Potts and Chip ◆

The shiny paintwork makes them really look like ceramics!

The wide open eyes also give them both such a cute look! The designs have been slightly altered to better match with the Nendoroid design, but even so just having them beside Belle really helps to bring out the atmosphere of the series! (*´ｪ`*)

◆ Enchanted Rose ◆

My favorite shot! You can pose Belle holding the rose like so!♡

The glass case that holds the enchanted rose in the film is also included, allowing you to instead simply display the rose by her side as a decoration instead!

I look forward to seeing who will be next! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

But let’s head back to Yamaguchi!

▲ Posed calling out to Tsukki!

His rather unkempt hair with a tint of green and his freckled face have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size! The open mouth with his top teeth showing is so very cute too!! ★

Along with this standard smiling expression above, he also comes with a more serious expression for when he is in a match, ready to perform his jump float serve!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Making use of the Nendoroid stand you can pose him just before he strikes the ball!!

Bent arm and leg parts are also included which can be mixed and matched to recreate all sorts of different scenes both in volleyball matches and for more casual scenes! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

▲ The contrast between his smile and this expression is lovely!

The word Yamaguchi says most often in a day is said to be “Tsukki”, so it only makes sense to display him together with Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima!

▲ Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima (Released August 2016)

* Yamaguchi is a prototype and Tsukki is a final product making the sizes slightly different.

You can easily pose Yamaguchi boasting about Tsukki’s amazing talent!

His third expression is this lovely cheerful expression! ♪

It’s perfect for these scenes with Tsukki, but can also be used for all sorts of other situations as well! I can just imagine a victory pose with that smile as well!!

Last but not least…

▲ You can see the floppy yellow sticking out above his shoulder!

He comes with his favorite food: floppy fries !ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

Another item that matches with his smiling face plate perfectly!! Each and every one of the fries has been sculpted with a lovely floppy appearance to ensure he is happy!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ The fact that he is holding it with two hands is also cute!

Just look how cute he is!! ☆

▲ Just looking at this brought a smile to your face!

Be sure to add the hard working blocker to your collection!

Nendoroid Fubuki Kai-II (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Fubuki Kai-II!

“11th Destroyer Division, Nendoroid Fubuki – heading out!”

From the popular browser game that is celebrating its 4th anniversary in April 2017, ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the first Fubuki-class special destroyer, Fubuki Kai-II! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, combat expression and half-damaged expression.

The Nendoroid has been tuned to allow for more action scenes with additional joints added to her hips. She also includes a variety of effect parts including turret firing effect parts, torpedo effect parts, effect parts to display her gliding along the surface of the water, machine-gun water pillar effect parts as well as a smokescreen effect part allowing for all sorts of action scenes! Enjoy the 4th anniversary of KanColle together with the Nendoroid KanColle series, which has also been running for nearly four years!

Manufacturer: Good Smile Company
Category: Nendoroid
Release Date: 2017/10
Price: ¥4,630 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: JUN (E.V.)

One of the many products planned as a part of the Kantai Collection -KanColle- 4th anniversary celebration, the first Fubuki-class special destroyer, Fubuki Kai-II is joining the Nendoroid series!

The Nendoroid has been beautifully sculpted with her uniform and ship parts keeping faithfully to the original illustration! Even the areas that were not visible in the original illustration have been sculpted and painted in lovely detail! ♪

Look at these lovely ship parts on her back! ♡

▲ Her little bit of tied-up hair and the torpedo launchers on her legs are articulated for various different nuances! ♪

I spy a little anchor on the underside of her ship parts! (ΦωΦ)

▲ She also has anchor marks on her socks! ♪

Nendoroid Fubuki Kai-II comes with a total of three face plates, starting off with the standard expression that I have been using up until now!

Bent left and right arms are also included which when used with the standard expression will make for the lovely cheerful pose below!

▲ A lovely little peek at her belly button!

Her second face plate is a combat expression which is perfect for posing her heading into battle or with fighting effect parts!!

Placing her in a more combat-orientated stance instantly changes her character from the innocent, cute ship girl into an appearance more suited to a destroyer!

She also comes with turret firing effect parts, torpedo effect parts, effect parts to display her gliding along the surface of the water for even more options!!

▲ The strap for her turret is made from faux leather to easily place it in various poses. You can also have her hold the turret with either hand!

Last but not least we move onto her third face plate which I always love to see on KanColle Nendoroids…

Her Half-Damaged Expression!

▲ It was cute and I was happy so I made a GIF.

Why is it that Nendoroid with crying faces are always so cute!! I feel like I should feel sorry for her, but all I can think of is how cute she is!! This expression could be used for all sorts of different situations!!

▲Even more effect parts! Machine gun fire creating water pillars as well as a smokescreen! You can just imagine her cute voice shouting out “No! Stop!”!!

You can also use this face plate with the bent arms for this pose!!

▲ Don’t you just want to rush to her side and protect her?

Nendoroid Fubuki Kai-II!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 21st April 2017!

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a nice set of bonus items including a Nendoroid Fubuki Kai-II’ Special Box Sleeve, Special Nendoroid Base & Clear Ocean Display Sheet!

* Bonus base is a square 8cm x 8cm type.

The Clear Ocean Display Sheet is A4 in size and works great as a background photography or just for displays!

▲You can see it is slightly transparent here!

Using both the Clear Ocean Display Sheet and the Special Nendoroid Base really help to bring out the KanColle world!!

▲ You could also place the sheet underneath Nendoroids to display them gliding on the ocean!

Be sure too consider it when preordering! (*´ω`*)

Nendoroid Syaoran Li (Cardcaptor Sakura)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m really terrible at sewing. I remember back when I was a student I made a scarf in class and it ended up too short to even wrap around my neck once. I can’t even imagine sewing together a complete teddy bear!

Anyway, today I’m going to take a look at…
Nendoroid Syaoran Li!

From the famous Cardcaptor Sakura series which currently has an all new “Clear Card Arc” being serialized comes a Nendoroid of Syaoran Li! He comes with three face plates including an aloof standard expression, a shouting expression for combat scenes as well as a bit of an embarrassed, blushing expression!

Optional parts include the charms he uses for elemental magic as well as a sword that can be displayed both drawn and sheathed in the included scabbard. Be sure to add the cute Syaoran to your collection!

“Found one! I sense a Clow Card!”

From the series that has been loved by fans for years on end, “Cardcaptor Sakura” comes a Nendoroid the distant relative to the powerful magician Clow Reed who transfers to Japan from Hong Kong to collect the Clow Cards – Syaoran Li!

I was the head planner for this figure and let me start off by saying that I’ve been waiting just as long as the everyone else for this figure to be released!!

He was one of the Nendoroids that received a large number of votes on the Nendoroid 10th Anniversary Next Nendoroid Survey, so I really think the fact that he was finally able to join the Nendoroids was thanks to the fans love and support!! A big thank you to everyone, as it was a figure that I personally really wanted too!! (✿´ ꒳ ` )

On top of that we have the all new series, a rebroadcast of the anime and the recent birthday event… it’s such a great time to be a Cardcaptor fan!

But anyway, let’s get back to the Nendoroid!! ♪

First and foremost let’s take a look at the face plate that above, which is his rather aloof looking standard expression! His green outfit has also been converted into Nendoroid size with careful attention to detail! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

His sword and scabbard are can be held in place with the Nendoroid stand, allowing you to pose him as if carrying the sword on his back! The bells on the bottom of his outfit as well as certain areas on the sword make use of a metallic paint to better capture the different textures!

Included to pose with him is one of his charms…

▲ Includes an special hand to display him holding it! ♪

As well as his sword removed from the sheath!

These parts can be used with the included shouting face plate to recreate all sorts of combat poses! I posed him here in a pose just before he uses his standard lightning spell! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

In addition, the Nendoroid also comes a bent leg part which you can mix and match with other parts to recreate various different action scenes!

The sculpt of the outfit also has a bit of a dynamic sculpt to it in order to match up with the more action-orientated poses! (∩・∀・)∩

His third face plate: a blushing face!

When I had to select a third face plate for Syaoran it was such a difficult choice to make! I went back and reread all the volumes of the manga paying close attention to his facial expressions!

The arguing expressions when he was talking with Toya, the gentle smiling expression with confident eyes… there were so many options, but in the end the scene that had always stuck in my memory was this expression from volume 9 in the manga, where he first becomes aware of his feelings for Sakura-chan while walking with Tomoyo-chan… (/ω＼)

Displayed with Nendoroid Sakura Kinomoto! ♥

▲ Syaoran is a prototype while Sakura-chan is an actual product, making the sizes slightly different!

I’m go glad I can finally display the two of them together like this!! ( ；∀；)

Plus we also have…

Tomoyo-chan ready to snap some pictures of them!

(I think Tomoyo-chan and I are feeling the same happiness right now!!)

If you display Sakura-chan with her excited expression and Syaoran blushing you can imagine that they just met Yukito! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

Although they are in their battle outfits, the expressions are still more than enough to tell a little story! ✿

Displaying Syaoran alone is of course amazing in itself, but I highly recommend posing him with the previously released Nendoroids and Nendoroid Co-de from the series to recreate all sorts of different situations from the Cardcaptor Sakura universe! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

By the way, Syaoran’s hat can also be removed!

Simply select the pose, face plate and parts that you like best and pose Syaoran in all sorts of serious, gallant and cute poses!! ♡

Be sure to add the adorable Syaoran-kun to your collection!
Nendoroid Syaoran Li!

He is up for preorder later today!!

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will be open from 19th April 2017 (Wed) from 12:00JST until 18th May 2017 (Thu) at 12:00JST!

In addition, purchases from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include this Special Compass Base Sheet as a bonus!

This can be placed on the Nendoroid stand like so to bring out the atmosphere of the series even more! ♪

Be sure to consider it when preordering!! ★

Nendoroid Rimi Ushigome (BanG Dream!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have sweet breads for breakfast nearly every day! Recently I’ve become quite attached to melon pan! It’s most delicious after 0 seconds in the microwave! It’s magic!! Anyway, today I’m going to take a look at…

Nendoroid Rimi Ushigome!

From the anime series BanG Dream! comes a Nendoroid of Poppin’Party’s bassist, Rimi Ushigome! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, an innocent expression with her mouth open and an expression with upturned eyes.

Optional parts include a bass guitar to display her performing live, as well as a case for the guitar allowing you to display her on the way to and from practice. Be sure to display her with the previously announced Nendoroid Kasumi Toyama and Arisa Ichigaya to recreate all sorts of different situations in Nendoroid size!

“I was a little scared… but it was fun! I want to join the band!”

From the anime series BanG Dream! that has also become a popular rhythm adventure game ‘BanG Dream! Girls Band Party’ on smartphones comes an adorable Nendoroid of the slightly timid character who joins Poppin’Party as the lead bassist – Nendoroid Rimi Ushigome!

She is the third Poppin’Party member to join the Nendoroids! ♪

– Nendoroid Kasumi Toyama –

▲ Releases August 2017

– Nendoroid Arisa Ichigaya –

☆ *CURRENTLY UP FOR PREORDER* ☆
▲ Releases September 2017

– Nendoroid Saya Yamabuki / Tae Hanazono –

▲ Currently in production!

Anyway, let’s get back to Rimi-rin! ♪

She comes complete with the bass guitar that was handed down to her from her older sister Yuri! The amount of detail on the pink and black design is amazing! Her characteristic bobcut hair with slightly longer sides has also been very nicely preserved in Nendoroid size! (´□｀｡)

Up until now I have only shown her cute smiling face, but let’s take a look at her alternate face plates! The first of which is this one!

A cute, innocent face with her mouth open! ♡

The childish look that the open mouth gives her makes her look so very adorable!! It makes her look like she is carefully concentrating, making sure that she captures the right notes for her performance!

Moving on to her third face plate…

A cute expression with upturned eyes! ♥

At first I thought she would come with a more standard smiling expression similar to Kasumi and Arisa… but this suits her character so much better!! An excellent choice by the product’s planner, Chii-chan! (@gsc_chii) (｀・д´・；)

Rimi has a timid personality that makes those around her want to protect and care for her… and this expression just brings out that feeling tenfold!!! I would be happy to bring her delicious bread from Yamabuki bakery every day! With that said…

Rimi-rin also comes with her favorite bread from the bakery, a chocolate coronet! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

▲ Enjoy a delicious bite together with Rimi!

Posing her with the bread allows for a more relaxed, everyday scene! I’m sure it will be fun to pose her like this together with the other characters for a change of pace from their performing poses! ★

▲ “Here, you can have a bite too!”

Plus there is still one more optional part included! Similar to the previous characters in the series she comes with a case for her bass guitar! ヽ(*´Д｀*)ﾉ

▲ You can even see the “ESP” letters on the case!

This means you can not only pose her during a performance, but you can also pose her walking to and from practice, carrying the bass guitar on her back!

▲ The pointing finger and bent arm allows for cute poses like this! ♡

Be sure to enjoy Rimi in all sorts of situations with the various parts!

Be sure too add Poppin’Party’s bassist to your collection!
Nendoroid Rimi Ushigome!

She will be up for preorder from the 19th April! ♪

Plus purchases from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Special Background Sheet for Nendoroids (Sunset) as a bonus!

* The sheet has been reinforced in this photo.

The three Nendoroids so far on their way home after school! ☆

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Plus as I already mentioned, don’t forget that Nendoroid Arisa is still currently up for preorder! ♥♡
