Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
I first found out about Kino’s Journey back when I was in my third or fourth year of primary school! I even bought a coat similar to Kino’s as I loved her so much, but I have no idea what happened to it…
Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Kino & Hermes!
From the anime series “Kino’s Journey” comes a Nendoroid of Kino, the main character who travels the world with her talking motorcycle Hermes! She comes with both a standard face plate as well as a smiling face plate, and her large helmet complete with goggles can also be attached and removed allowing for various different situations.
Hermes is also included with the Nendoroid and Kino can even be displayed riding the faithful motorbike! Other optional parts include a variety of weapons she used in the series including Canon, Woodsman and Flute, and she also comes with a cup to display her taking a little break along her travels!
“This world is not beautiful. Therefore it is.”
From the anime series Kino’s Journey -the Beautiful World- the Animated Series, comes a Nendoroid of Kino together with her talking motorcycle, Hermes!! ★
Her large eyes and tough looking expression have been carefully included on the Nendoroid design and the details of her outfit and even the pacemaker pistol “Canon” she holds in hand are all so intricately ! (∩・∀・)∩
The “Woodsman” persuader pistol is also included on her hips as you can see above, and it can even be detached and held in her other hand for all sorts of posing opportunities!
▲ She can even be posed dual wielding the pistols!
But that’s not all! Flute is also included!! (｡・д・｡)
The arm parts are articulated at the elbows and upper arms allowing for much easier posing with the various guns.
Along with her standard serious expression, she also comes with a smiling expression for much more gentle looking scenes!
A cup filled with delicious tea is also included allowing her to stop off on the side of the road for a quick tea break! The expression looks so very relaxed! ♥
Plus we can’t forget that Kino’s talking motorrad with vast knowledge of the world is also included to display with Kino herself! (*´꒳`*)
▲ The size has been carefully tuned to match with the Nendoroid! ♪
Plus…
Kino even comes with special parts to be displayed riding Hermes!
She even has special hand parts that let her hold the handlebars! ☆
Enjoy the Kino’s Journey atmosphere in your Nendoroid collection!

The 1/8th Scale Kino: Refined Ver.!
Good Smile Company originally released this 1/8th scale figure of Kino back in 2008, but with the anime series on the way we have revised the old sculpt and created this “Refined Ver.” for both new and old fans to enjoy in their collection!
Kino is the main character of Kino’s Journey, a story about a girl who travels the world with her talking motorcycle Hermes. The figure features Kino holding her favorite persuader gun named “Canon” with gentle sculptwork that captures the atmosphere of the series perfectly. Smoke made with semi-transparent parts wafts out from the gun’s muzzle, creating an intricately detailed figure that fans are sure to enjoy in their collection.
Orders for the scale figure are open until the 1st March 2018 at 12:00JST! Make sure you don’t miss out!!
