Wilhelmina: Swimsuit Ver. (High School Fleet)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/8th scale…
Wilhelmina: Swimsuit Ver.!

“From the popular anime series ‘High School Fleet’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Wilhelmina, the Admiral Graf Spee’s vice-captain!

The figure is based on the cover illustration of the June 2016 edition of Megami MAGAZINE, and features Wilhelmina wearing a sexy swimsuit in a simple yet charming pose with careful detail given to the appearance of her body. Mina is known for her lively personality, but this figure captures her in a more gentler, ladylike pose for fans to enjoy by their side. ”

Hochmut kommt vor dem fall!
(pride comes before a fall)

A swimsuit figure of the Admiral Graf Spee’s vice-captain, Wilhelmina Braunschweig Ingenohl Friedeburg! ♡

Her lovely long, blond hair, the jacket gently blowing in the wind and the soft looking skin has all been sculpted in intricate detail!

This is actually the third figure that GSC has released from High School Fleet, following on from the two previously announced Nendoroids! (∩・∀・)∩

– Nendoroid Akeno Misaki –

▲Released January 2017

 

– Nendoroid Wilhelmina –

▲ Releases 25th May 2017

But let’s get back to the scale figure! ♪

The blond hair and blue eyes with a slightly bashful look on her face as her right hand twiddles with her hair… a rather simple figure but the amount of personality it has it still absolutely stunning! ♥

Not to mention that her well-endowed body has been very faithfully captured for fans to enjoy by their side! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Not just her chest, but the ups-and-downs of her collarbone and stomach area are all so beautifully sculpted!

In her left hand she holds the captain’s hat she received from Captain Thea!

Even the inside is fully detailed! (/ω・＼)

It’s also quite hard to find an angle where you will get a good look at the front of the hat, but even so the sculpt of the emblem is stunning! ♪

▲ This angle also gives a nice look at the little ribbon tie of her swimsuit! ♡

Although she is wearing a swimsuit, the jacket she is wearing over it actually covers up a lot of her bare skin, but with that said you can still get a good feel for the way the swimsuit squeezes her soft skin! It just tempts you to feel it for yourself!

▲ The back of her knees are also lovely! (・∀・)

Last but not least a closer look at her cute little feet! ☆

The dainty little feet with a slightly glossy paint on the nails that really make them stand out beautifully! Not to mention the cute shoes!

The bony look around her ankle and the detail of her Achilles tendon have also been carefully included, so be sure to take a nice good look, and feel, once she joins your collection! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

The 1/8th scale…
Wilhelmina: Swimsuit Ver.!

Up for preorder from tomorrow!

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company website for more details! Also note this product will be made at Good Smile Company’s figure factory in Tottori, Japan! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

In other words, Wilhelmina: Swimsuit Ver. will be “Made in Japan”!

It’s That Time of Year Again!

Futaba Sakura (Persona 5)

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

I can’t imagine what it must be like to be smart enough with computers to be a hacker! Back when I was in high school I had almost no connection to computers whatsoever! (Nowadays it seems pretty much impossible to not use them!)

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at Phat! Company’s…
Futaba Sakura!

“Risking our lives to stop rotten adults!
That’s why we’re Phantom Thieves!”

From the role-playing game ‘Persona 5’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the genius hacker who joins the Phantom Thieves – Futaba Sakura! She has been sculpted in careful detail wearing her winter jacket. The figure comes with interchangeable parts which allow you to pose her with the jacket removed, her smartphone in one hand with the other holding Morgana in front of her. Simply select the pose you prefer for your collection!

Manufacturer: Phat! Company
Category: 1/7th Scale Figure
Release Date: 2017/12
Price: ¥12,000 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: Mitsuru Saito (Phat!)
Paintwork: Sakura

Futaba Sakura from Persona 5 has been transformed into a lovely 1/7th scale figure in a rather simple pose based on her illustration from the game! Her iconic headphones and jacket, elegant legs and contrasting tough-looking boots all come together to capture her perfectly!

Not to mention that sidelong glance!

If you match up the angle of her glance to the front you can pose her exactly as she looked in the profile illustration, but if you instead look at her head-on you can enjoy this slightly sidelong glance as if she is avoiding looking into your eyes!! A quick change in angle can create a completely different experience in the world of figures!!!

The creation of the figure was also closely supervised by Persona 5’s character designer, Shigenori Soejima!

Just look at the lovely fluffy part of her jacket! I want to feel it!!! (*´ω`*)

Caution: While jacket may appear fluffy, it is not, in fact, fluffy. It is hard, like the rest of the figure.

Another thing to note about the jacket is the detail put into the  sculpt of the strings and creases! If you look from the right angle you’ll also notice that her lips are not just painted on but are sculpted to stick out a little to faithfully capture the slight duck-face pose! ヽ(´∀｀。)ﾉ･ﾟ

AKG Headphones! ☆ 

You can see they are official goods thanks to the high quality and AKG logo at the back! You can also see that each and every strand of her hair has been carefully considered with this sculpt making the hair look so lovely and silky!

▼Scroll up and down to enjoy these legs!

Look at her thighs, then the boots, thighs, boots, thighs,  boots… It’s Neverending Happiness!!

The bare skin of her thighs looks so very soft and touchable as you would expect from a beautiful young girl… compared to her tough, stylish looking boots makes for such a wonderful contrast!

But there is still more to this figure as she comes with some interchangeable parts which let you display her with….

＼ Morgana! ／

A quick switch of parts lets you pose her with Morgana in one arm! Lucky Kitty!

It also switches her into a pose without the jacket and with her smartphone in her other hand! Thanks to the jacket being removed you also get special access to some previously hidden areas!!

The lacing of her short pants is one thing…

▲ Morgana’s tail is also rather cute! ♡

…but no jacket also lets you see her cute little bottom!

That bottom looks very fit for someone who spends most of her time at home! Simply select the pose that you think suits her better! (*´ω`*)

Phat!’s 1/7th Scale Figure
Futaba Sakura!

She will be up for preorder from later today!

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will be open until 15th June 2017 (Thu) at 12:00JST! Don’t miss out!

Nendoroid Kanan Matsuura (LoveLive!Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can’t even remember the last time I played by the ocean. That said, I can’t swim so most of my time at the beach is spent collecting shells.

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

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Aqours member Kanan Matsuura wearing her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’!
She comes with both a cheerful face plate as well as an embarrassed face plate for when others make fun of her! A selection of different parts are also included which allow you to pose her in different dance poses from the opening theme of the anime series! Be sure to enjoy her together with the other members of Aqours!

“Let’s… hug?”

The third year student at Uranohoshi Girls’ High School and Chika’s childhood friend, Kanan Matsuura is joining the Nendoroids! This marks the 8th Nendoroid of Aquors members – just one more to go! ♡

Her iconic ponytail has been faithfully included and is attached with a Nendoroid joint allowing for all sorts of different nuances while posing! ♪

▲ The rather short jacket gives you a peek at some bare skin! ♡

Just like the previous Aquors members Kanan is wearing her ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’ outfit, but unlike the others her outfit has a cute opening that shows off her belly button! (/ω・＼)

▲ The figure stands just 100mm in height! That little belly button is tiny!

She also comes with various interchangeable hand parts to recreate the dance scenes from the opening theme! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

▲ I WANT to hug her!

She also comes with a special hand part to display her pointing!

▲ It really makes her look so cheerful and energetic! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

Moving on to her second face plate!

A rather lovable embarrassed expression! ♪

The rather scornful look in her eyes and upset eyebrows also make it look a bit like an upset expression, but the blush on her cheeks shows she just trying to hide her embarrassment!  (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

▲ I can just imagine who is at the end of this gaze!

You can also make it look a bit like an assertive pose if you change the pose a little bit! ♪

Simply find the pose that you think suits best! ♡

Be sure to add the cool and composed Aquors member to your collection!
Nendoroid Kanan Matsuura!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♡

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a special Stage Base & Small and Large Nendoroid Base Extension Parts as a bonus! ☆

*Only a single stage base is included. Both extension parts are included.

 

Be sure to consider it when preordering! (∩・∀・)∩

Nendoroid Serval (Kemono Friends)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have recently been watching cute animal videos to wind down and relax. I love the one with the raccoon trying to clean his candy floss!

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

From the popular anime series “Kemono Friends” comes a Nendoroid of the serval cat, Serval! She comes with three face plates including a cheerful smile, a boasting expression as well as a shouting face for her to let her friends know that she won’t eat them!

Optional parts include a lined background sheet for more zealous poses, as well as the “Boss” also known as Lucky Beast who is included to display by her side! Enjoy recreating all sorts of fun and amazing poses from Kemono Friends by adding the big-eared Serval-chan to your collection!

“We’re friends now, so next time we meet call me Serval-chan!”

Welcome to Japari Park!

From the anime series that became a huge hit “Kemono Friends” comes a Nendoroid of the Serval-chan the serval cat! Some of you may remember that we started preorders for her while she was still an unpainted prototype, but now she is fully painted and still up for preorder so be sure to take another look!ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Her lovely big ears, tight waist, spotted skirt, tail and more have all been adorably converted into Nendoroid size! ★

▲ The fluffy look at the end of the tail! (*´ｪ`*)

The impressive volume at the back of her hair has also been preserved on the Nendoroid! The entire design is a little different to most Nendoroids and focuses on sticking to the appearance from the anime series!

▲ Even the spotted ribbon on the back is faithfully included!

“This is Japari Park! I’m Serval!“

She comes with a couple of interchangeable arm parts which allow to place her in various memorable poses from the series!

Along with the cheerful face above she comes with two other face plates to enjoy! The first of which is this one!

The proud expression she has when showing Kaban-chan around the Savanna area! The sharp eyes and eyebrows make her look all serious which somehow just makes Serval-chan look cuter! ♥

She also comes with thumbs-up parts allowing you to recreate the “It’s a race to see who will get there first” scene! (๑• ̀д•́ )

▲ You have to imagine the cliff behind her!

Moving onto her third face plate which is a shouting expression! (∩・∀・)∩

“I won’t eat you!!“

This expression can be used together with the special lined background sheet to really get Serval-chan’s point across! A special attachment part is included to place the sheet behind her like above, which also of course means you can use it with other characters as well!

Lucky Beast is also included!★

“Leave it to me.“

His tail can even be wagged left and right allowing for slightly different nuances! His cute fluffy form has been painted with a lovely gradient effect! (´□｀｡)

▲ I can just imagine the sound of his cute footsteps!

Plus Nendoroid Kaban has also been announced!

I can’t wait to display her together with Serval-chan and Lucky! Stay tuned for updates! (/ω＼)

Nendoroid Racing Miku 2017 Ver.

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Just as I thought it was warming up we suddenly have a cold spell. I don’t what what to wear in the morning any more!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Racing Miku 2017 Ver.!♥

The official character of the Hatsune Miku GT Project ‘Racing Miku’ is joining the Nendoroids in her 2017 outfit!

The 2017 Racing Miku designed by popular illustrator Tony is based on the image of a fairy, and has been carefully converted into Nendoroid size for fans to enjoy in their collection. She comes complete with a bouquet to support the team, a Nendoroid car for her to ride in as well as a Nendoroid-sized trophy to celebrate the team’s win during the first race at the Okayama International Circuit.

The official character of the 2017 Hatsune Miku GT Project!

The lucky number Nendoroid No. 777 is none other than the 2017 edition of the Hatsune Miku GT Project’s official mascot character: Racing Miku!

The adorable fairy-like outfit for the 2017 ver. was designed by none other than the popular illustrator Tony! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

She is in such a cute pose with one leg up and her hands forming double peace signs! Plus we are also getting a new illustration by Tony in support of each of the races! (灬ºωº灬)


 

But anyway, let’s get back to the Nendoroid! Here she is from the back! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The somewhat mechanical looking near-futuristic wing design has been adorably shrunk down to Nendoroid size! The twin-tails with a green to yellow gradient also make use of semi-transparent material allowing you to enjoy the way light shines through them! ♪

Her skirt also makes use of the translucent parts making the frills look lovely and light! ♪

Also note that the very transparent area around her stomach is faithfully included and shown by the fact that you can see her belly-button sculpted on the design! ♥

She also comes with a selection of interchangeable hand parts allowing you to enjoy all sorts of original poses as well! (σ・∀・)σ

▲ Just by changing the hand and arms makes for a rather different feel!

Now for a first look at the other optional parts!

A cute smiling face plate and bouquet parts!

This face plate has a much more gentle feel compared to the standard face plate, creating a more mature appearance that matches the bouquet very nicely! ♡

▲ She has a much more refined appearance like this!

If you look close at the bouquet you can see the various different flowers are each sculpted one-by-one to form the bunch! ♪

The bouquet is given to the winner together with the winner’s trophy, so it is included with the Nendoroid in hopes that it will help spur on the team to continue winning more races in the future!

But that’s not all!

She also comes with a ridable Nendoroid Car!

▲ Her twin-tails trailing behind her to show of the speed of the car! ☆

Note that the flower design on the back of the car, as well as the numbering are all from the actual car taking place in the Super GT races!

▲ From the GOODSMILE RACING Official Site / Gallery Page

In addition to the items above, the Nendoroid will also comes with a tiny replica of the trophy won when the team took first place at the Okayama International circuit earlier this year! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ The next race will take place on the weekend of the 20th May at Autopolis!

Add the fairy of the racing circuit to your collection!

Fiona: Honjou Raita ver. (BORDER BREAK)

Hello everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! I hope everyone had a good Golden Week… even if you’re not in Japan!

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

Fiona: Honjou Raita ver.!

A figure of the system operator based on an illustration by Honjou Raita!

From the popular arcade game that has been running since 2009, “BORDER BREAK”, comes a figure of the well-known system operator Fiona based on an illustration by Honjou Raita!

She is posed with a gentle smile on her face as she holds and stands upon the large “Tear Downer” sword that is normally used by the Blast Runner mecha. Fiona is the idol of many male characters in the series, and this figure shows exactly why! Be sure to add her to your collection!

This product includes a serial code that can be used in the game to unlock a “Deluxe Seed Assortment” and “Emblem: Warning Label”.

Manufacturer: Vertex
Category: 1/7th Scale Figure
Release Date: 2017/7
Price: ¥17,000 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: Futatsu Shitoo

 

■ Serial Code Information
*Serial code is only redeemable in Japan.
*Serial code will expire on the 31st January 2018. Code will not be redeemable after expiry.

 

Product Page: Fiona: Honjou Raita ver.

A lovely 1/7th scale figure of everyone’s idol Fiona based on an original illustration by Honjou Raita! Not to mention that she is posed holding the magic sword Tear Downer, a sight that was never even in the game itself!

Just one photo is more than enough to get your senses all fired-up!

(*´▽｀*) “Vertex… Thank you!!”

She also looks stunning from the back, with her outfit fluttering outward and each of the strands of her hair flowing around her creating a lovely, dynamic appearance.

The petal-like shapes that make up her coat have been sculpted and painted so beautifully, and the shape leaves open little gaps to get a nice look at her legs too!

Let’s take a closer look…

So much detail!! I don’t know where to start! 

That enticing face with a slight smile, the eye-catching cleavage, the nicely toned waist and tight-fitting skirt with intricate creases… there is simply no end to the enjoyment that this figure has to bring!! A Never Ending Figure!

The flower shapes on her hips are also sculpted onto the design that sticks out above the dress itself for a more three-dimensional effect that adds even more variety to the design!

In her hands she holds a file carefully labelled “No peeking ♡“!

▲ Her profile is also that of a true beauty! ♡

The green areas on the magic sword are semi-transparent which creates a beautiful appearance as it lets the light through!☆

▲ Looking from a lower angle captures the movement of her hair and outfit even better!

The coat can also be removed!

▲ Removing the coat allows you to enjoy even more of her slender body!

Without the coat the overall body of the figure has a more simplistic appearance, which helps make the beautiful flow of her hair even more noticeable! (*´ω`*)

▲The curls in her hair are so very charming! ♡

Her large chest contrasting with her slim arm!

▲ From this angle she looks like someone heading into battle! (*’ω’*)

Her hips… and that bottom! Delicious!

▲ The tight look of the stockings on her thighs too!

Last but not least!

I just want to dive in!

 

Be sure to add the admired Fiona to your collection! ♡

Fiona: Honjou Raita ver.

Up for preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP until 18th May 2017 (Thu) at 12:00JST!

Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: Maiko Ver. (Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We just had a lovely set of consecutive holidays called Golden Week here in Japan! Although now the next public holiday here in Japan is all the way in July…

But no holidays means more figures! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: Maiko Ver.! ♡

From Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie comes a Nendoroid of Mami Tomoe dressed in a gorgeous maiko outfit. She comes with two face plates including a smiling expression and a face with closed eyes.

Bebe is also included in a pose imitating Mami’s, and she also comes with both an open and closed folding fan for various poses. Interchangeable parts to pose her sitting are also included which you can use together with the face with closed eyes to create an elegant bowing pose. Enjoy Mami-san is her gorgeous outfit right in your collection!

A Nendoroid of Mami Tomoe dressed as a gorgeous Maiko!

An all new adorable Nendoroid of Mami-san dressed up in a beautiful kimono filled with plum blossom prints! This is the third in a series of Nendoroids that feature the Puella Magi dressed up in more Japanese-style outfits.

Nendoroid Madoka Kaname: Maiko Ver.

Released in July 2013

Nendoroid Homura Akemi: Haregi Ver.

Planned for release in July 2017

Just like the last two figures in the series, Mami’s outfit has been beautifully converted into Nendoroid size with a wonderfully detailed kimono, sash and hair accessories! ε=(｡・д・｡)

The twirly parts of her hair are fitted with Nendoroid joints allowing you to create various different nuances.

She also comes with interchangeable parts which allow you to place her in this pose holding her sleeve up!

▲ Such a lovely elegant appearance for Mami-san! (/ω＼)

As you can see in the above, she also comes with a folding fan which can be held out like the above photo, or instead placed over her mouth like below to emphasize the blush in her cheeks! ☆

The face plate is the same as the photos above, but just by covering up the mouth it feels so very different! ♪

But that’s not all! Mami-san also comes with a little figure of Bebe!

▲ The mischievous expression is so cute!

The cute little cape has also been faithfully included all the way to the illustration on the back! The overall pose is kind of copying Mami’s pose and even has a cute yellow folding fan! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ Bebe will come with her own stand, different to the one you see here!

Here the two of them look posed performing a dance together! ♪

▲ I can just hear the classic Japanese instruments playing!

Plus she even comes with special sitting parts that allow you to pose her performing a cute yet graceful bow with three fingers to the ground.

▲ The closed-eyes face plate makes for a very gentle scene.

Even while sitting you can still get a good look at the pattern on her kimono!

▲ The way the kimono flattens outward looks lovely! ♪

You can also use the standard face plate with these sitting parts! ♥

If you place her in this pose in your entrance hall she will be there to greet you when you come home each and every day!

Be sure to add the adorable Mami-san to your collection and find the pose that you think suits your collection best!

▲ My personal favorite! Posed in the middle of a graceful dance!

A bright kimono and a cute Mami-san to add to any collection!
Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: Maiko Ver.!

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♡

Be sure to take a look on the Good Smile Company website for more details tomorrow!

Nendoroid Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter) (Fate/Grand Order)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can’t believe it’s already May! Just one more month and we are already half way through 2017! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter)!

From the popular smartphone game “Fate/Grand Order” comes a Nendoroid of the Avenger-class servant, Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter)! She comes with three face plates including a fearless smile, an arrogant glare as well as an embarrassed expression.

Her iconic flag is included together with her black sword, flame effect parts as well as a special sheet to pose her preforming an “Extra Attack”. Enjoy recreating all sorts of scenes from the game in Nendoroid size!

“Applaud! Applaud for our hatred!!”

From Fate/Grand Order comes a cute Nendoroid of the proud and somewhat extremist Avenger-class servant – Jeanne d’Arc (Alter). ★

Her black armor has been sculpted with such intricate detail! The red areas of the outfit are also faithfully preserved with a gradient effect.

For a little figure that stands just 100mm in height her chest is rather impressive in size! Not to mention the little peek at bare skin on her leg in the photo above! Who said Nendoroids can’t be sexy!

Her black sword can be displayed sheathed away, but can also be drawn and displayed ready for combat… plus it even comes with flame effect parts for more intense combat scenes! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The fiery sword shows off her strength as one of the most powerful servants in the game! ★

▲ The flames use translucent parts and a gradient effect! So pretty!

Along with the standard confident smile you see above, she also comes with this haughty glaring expression! (/ω＼)

The shadows under her eyes make it look like a rather scornful expression that really make her look like she is ready to avenge!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

▲ The glaring expression looks great with the sword drawn! ☆

She also comes with another optional part which suits this expression really well… An Extra Attack Effect Sheet!

▲ The sheet comes with it’s own little stand!

This allows you to pose the extra attack flying through the air into her opponent just like in the game!

▲ Guest Appearance: Nendoroid Ruler/Jeanne d’Arc

By the way, as I’m sure you’ve noticed her iconic flag is included in a huge size! Here is a size comparison with mt iPhone6!

▲ Not normally a size you would associate with Nendoroids!

Moving onto her third face plate…

An Embarrassed Expression! ♡

The contrast between the darker glaring expression and the cuteness in this expression is almost too much for me!! (*´﹃｀*)

In addition, the Nendoroid features joints in the shoulders and elbows allowing for much more mobility! This is great for combat scenes, but also helps to create a more embarrassed looking pose as well!! ♥

▲ Those troubled eyebrows and rosy cheeks!!

Enjoy proud poses, combat poses and even her cuter side! ☆
Nendoroid Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter)!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 9th May 2017!

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

threezero’s Shin Action Figure (Dorohedoro)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this Dorohedoro action figure from threezero:

Shin!

*The blog contains some rather grotesque images, so if you’re faint of heart turn back now!*

Shin is an elite Magic-User and cleaner for the largest magic group in the Magic User World, the The En Family. Although he has powerful magic that allows him cut anything up into pieces, he generally prefers to fight in melee combat with a hammer. His most characteristic feature is the heart-shaped mask over his head.

From the dark fantasy manga that has been serialized since 2000 comes an action figure of Shin! The figure has been sculpted by the renown Masaki Apsy in 1/6th scale which makes Shin stand approximately 32.5cm in height, showing off his impressive height and large build. He comes with two interchangeable heads – one with his head masked and another showing his face with a blank expression. He also comes with glasses which can be work on the normal face.

The tailored suit jacket, suit pants, dress shirt, necktie, and T-shirt are all made from fabric, and all have a worn, used appearance to them. He also comes with a hammer (with a chain and hook) as a weapon, as well as three pairs of interchangeable hand parts. Various pieces of Cross-Eyes sliced up by Shin’s magic are also included, as well as two black garbage bags to place the pieces in!

An action figure of the cleaner ‘Shin’ from the dark fantasy manga series Dorohedoro!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

 

Let’s start off with a look at the more mild parts of the figure! That said anyone who hates seeing stitched skin will even find this area quite grotesque!

The sculpting of this figure was done by none other Masaki Apsy famous for his work on the figma series!

Just looking at the one hand you can see the attention to detail! Not only on the stitching but the back of the hand with all the little ups-and-downs from the veins and bones!

The shoes also have the stitches ad laces very carefully sculpted onto the figure creating a very realistic appearance! The dirty and damaged effect brings out the realism even more!!

His outfit is made from real fabric, but the body and limbs are all a complete action figure allowing you to enjoy all sorts of different poses!

Anyway, I think that’s enough of the more gentle stuff, let’s move on!

Here we have Shin-senpai!

The heart-shaped mask he wears as well as a Cross-Eyes member torn apart while alive is also included for him to hold! In the other hand he holds his trusty hammer as he stands wearing a rather contrasting formal suit and tie!

This is actually the second figure from the series following on from the previously released Caiman! ☆

▲ Caiman was released in November 2016

Caiman stands around 360mm  in height while Shin is about 325mm showing the size difference between them! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

Just like the Caiman figure, Shin comes with joints included in his shoulder and elbow allowing for an amazing amount of movement! You can easily recreate certain scenes from the series or even create your very own original poses! ☆

The face on the back of the mask has also been included in gruesome detail! (´□｀｡)

From the back the dirty appearance of his suit is very clear, but perhaps what stands out the most in this photo is the spinal cord of the head he carries…!

The head is from a member of the Cross-Eyes that had his body unfortunately pulled apart while he was alive… which is why you can see his eyes are still shiny with a glossy paint! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

▲ The teeth and gums are so detailed…!

The head comes with two different hair parts – one for being held by Shin and another one to simply display lying by his side!

He also comes with two black garbage bags so you can wrap the head parts away in them if you like!

He also comes with a slightly less grotesque option! His unmasked head is also included!! ♡

▲ The wrinkles on his face are so impressive!

In addition, you can also remove his glasses for a different look!

▲ He looks a little younger without the glasses! (/ω＼)

You can find many more photos over on the GSC product page!

Add the Elite Magic-User to your collection!
The Action Figure Shin!

He is currently up for preorder!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

There is also a limited edition version which comes with the following items:

▼ Alternate Head Part

▼ Bonus Body Parts

▼This can be combined with the head part like so! ♪
