Hatsune Miku: Symphony 2019 Ver.

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Hatsune Miku: Symphony 2019 Ver.

Sculptor: SAKAKI Workshops Paintwork: Turunoyakata

From “Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku” comes a scale figure of Hatsune Miku based off of the main visual from the full orchestra concert “Hatsune Miku Symphony 2019”.

Her pure and delicate dress has been faithfully recreated based on the original illustration by Rella. Her flowing twintails and fluttering skirt have been recreated with the utmost care. Her outfit and hair have been painted with a pearl finish for an elegant appearance. Be sure to add her to your collection!

Listen closely with your heart.

Hatsune Miku has been recreated in 1/8th scale in her outfit from the Hatsune Miku Symphony 2019 main visual!

The figure is based on a special illustration drawn by the outfit designer and Hatsune Miku Symphony 2019 main visual artist Rella, specifically for the making of this figure!

Thank you to Rella for supervising the whole process of making the figure, from the sculpting to the paintwork!

Miku’s soft smile alone conveys the atmosphere of the full orchestra concert!

Look at her lightly fluttering twintails and skirt…

▲They look just as great from the back!

While the figure shows her in a simple standing pose, you can see small hints of motion in every part!

It’s really like a moment captured in time! ( ・ㅂ・)و̑

Miku’s twintails have been recreated with translucent parts to faithfully capture their appearance in Rella’s illustration!

▲Pearl paintwork has also been utilized to give her twintails and extra dazzling appearance!

Her adorable pleated dress has been carefully recreated down to every detail. (o´v`o)ノ

▲Look at the clear lines of her skirt pleats!

Don’t miss the ribbon on her back too!

In addition to the ribbon her chest, you can see a matching ribbon in her hair and a much larger ribbon on her back.

Also, notice that the black part of her outfit is painted with pearl paint as well!

▲You can tell apart the different textures of the outfit from whether they’re glossy or not! ₍(∩´ ᵕ `∩)⁾⁾

Be sure to take a look at every detail when you take her home!

Hatsune Miku: Symphony 2019 Ver.

Available for preorder from the 24th of December!

Nendoroid Shinji Ikari (Rebuild of Evangelion)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Shinji Ikari

From the popular animated film series “Rebuild of Evangelion” comes a Nendoroid of the Third Child, Shinji Ikari. He comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a lethargic expression and a blushing expression.

He comes with his bag, backpack and portable music player as optional parts in order to recreate various scenes from his everyday life. A base made to look like stone rubble and special lower half parts to pose him sitting are also included. He can be combined with the upcoming Nendoroid Kaworu Nagisa to create a special display of the two of them. Be sure to add him to your collection!

The Third Child

 

From the “Rebuild of Evangelion” movie series comes a Nendoroid of the EVA pilot and protagonist, Shinji Ikari!

His Tokyo-3 First Municipal Junior High School uniform, shoes and belt have all been perfectly recreated in Nendoroid size!

For optional parts, he comes with his backpack and his bag. Looking at that bag makes me remember the scene from when he moved in with Misato Katsuragi! ( ੭ ・ᴗ・ )੭

▲A hand part of him holding his note is included! ♪

In addition to his standard expression face plate, a face plate of his memorable lethargic expression is also included!

This is quite a complicated expression. His eyes give off the impression that he’s completely shut down his emotions and closed off his heart.

By the way, here’s a full look at the portable music player part. It’s quite easy to put on and take off!

▲The earphones stay attached by sliding the earpiece parts over his ears!

As for his third expression…!

It’s his blushing expression!

Those faintly pink cheeks are so cute!

▲Combine with his backpack to show him walking to school!☆彡

Finally, let’s look at one more part!

Yep! A stone rubble base and special lower half parts to display him sitting are included!

You can see the base above is a triangular piece of stone rubble, but combine with the upcoming Nendoroid Kaworu Nagisa and…

Pose the two of them like this!

(Nendoroid Kaworu Nagisa will come with a similar triangular base!)

DIY Paper Craft Effects for “My Hero Academia” Nendoroids (Good Smile Lab)

Hello! My name is Mino (@gsc_mino), and I work in the Manufacturing Department at Good Smile Company!

How do you decorate your figures at home? Have you ever thought to yourself, “I wonder if there’s something I can make myself to make my display even cooler…”

I’ve thought about this a lot before, and so today…

Let’s try making some shadow box style paper craft effects!

A lot of you are probably thinking, “Huh? Shadow box?” right now, so let me explain!

Most of you are probably familiar with Shadow boxes, displays that often utilize layers of paper in order to create an effect of depth. The 3D aspect is what makes them a bit different from simple paper cutting.

So for this article, let’s try making some original paper craft effects with depth to pair with figures!

I don’t think this has been attempted before, so we’ll see how it goes!

By the way, we’ll be pairing our effects today with these three “My Hero Academia” Nendoroids!

 

Nendoroid Izuku Midoriya: Hero’s Edition

More Info at GSC Official Site
Available at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP US

■Product Description

From the popular anime series ‘My Hero Academia’ comes a rerelease of the fully articulated Nendoroid of the main character who dreams he will become a hero – Izuku Midoriya! He comes with three different face plates including a standard gentle expression, a hesitant crying expression as well as a combat expression for when he decides it’s time to be a hero!

His unique green jumpsuit has been faithfully shrunk down into Nendoroid size and he also comes with special glove parts to pose him using his ‘One For All’ Quirk. A ‘SMASH’ sound effect plate is also included to bring even more life to his action poses! Recreate your favorite scenes from the series!

 

Nendoroid Katsuki Bakugo: Hero’s Edition

More Info at GSC Official Site
Available at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP US

■Product Description

From the popular anime series ‘My Hero Academia’ comes a rerelease of the fully articulated Nendoroid of the main character’s childhood friend and rival – Katsuki Bakugo! He comes with three face plates including a confident standard expression, an aggressive combat expression as well as a sullen glaring expression.

His unique outfit that he calls ‘Full Body Dynamite’ has been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size, and effect parts to recreate his ‘Explosion’ quirk together with a ‘BOOOM’ text plate are included to bring his Nendoroid action scenes to a whole new level! Recreate your favorite scenes from the series and more!

 

Nendoroid Shoto Todoroki: Hero’s Edition

More Info at GSC Official Site

■Product Description

From the popular anime series “My Hero Academia” comes a Nendoroid action figure of one of the main character Deku’s rivals, Shoto Todoroki! He comes with three interchangeable face plates including his calm and composed standard expression, his combat expression for when he’s fighting with all he’s got and his smiling expression from when he began to accept the left side of his Quirk.

His hero costume has been faithfully recreated in Nendoroid size. He comes with fire and ice effect parts along with ice floor effect parts to recreate his ‘Half-Cold Half-Hot’ Quirk. A “CRAASH” text plate is also included to create action-filled poses!

Be sure to add him to your collection along with Nendoroid Izuku Midoriya: Hero’s Edition (Rerelease) and Nendoroid Katsuki Bakugo: Hero’s Edition (Rerelease) also available for preroder, and enjoy recreating your favorite scenes from “My Hero Academia”!

 

Now, let’s make some cool displays to enhance these Nendoroids even more!

Here’s what I’ll be using!

  • Illustrations (I drafted up some effects beforehand!)
  • Construction Paper (The more colors, the better!)
  • Cardstock Paper (Thicker than normal paper. We’ll use cardstock as a spacer to create a 3D illusion for the effects.)
  • Metal wire (I use 1mm diameter wire. You can use paper clips for this!)
  • Wire cutters (This is for cutting the metal wire to the size we need.)
  • Tweezers
  • Utility Knife/Precision Knife
  • Glue
  • Tape

1. Draw your effect!

The original illustration is probably the most important part of the process!

When drawing your effect, be sure to reference your Nendoroid to make the effect the correct size! I’d recommend drawing a Nendoroid-sized oval on your paper first for reference.

Here’s what I came up with for Deku!

Shockwave effects from using “One For All”!

Next, Bakugo!

Of course, the effect I drew for Bakugo is an explosion!

Finally, here’s what I came up with for Todoroki!

Since it’s Todoroki, I drew fire and ice effects!

I only realized afterward, but I might have made these effects a little too complex to cut…

Simpler designs are easier to cut out, so keep that in mind when making your effects!

2. Using your illustrations as a reference, cut out different parts of the effect from your construction paper.

The ice effect ended up being a little too complicated for me, so I added color in to make it a little easier.

 

Ah. This design is still pretty confusing.

I don’t think I’ll be able to cut out every color from this one, so I’ll simplify it as I go!

▲Tape helps keep the reference illustration in place.

You’ll probably want to make multiple copies of your reference illustration, as you’ll be cutting out different parts on different construction paper sheets!

Cutting out different parts on different colored paper will allow you to layer them later and create the shadow-box-like 3D effect.

*Please be very careful when cutting with a utility knife/precision knife so as not to cut yourself!

3. Layer the construction paper to create the 3D effect.

Apply glue to very small pieces of cardstock to make your spacers. These are what make the effect appear 3D!

You can even stack multiple spacers to create a more exaggerated 3D look if necessary.

▲Tweezers make this process a lot easier!

▲Occasionally use two spacers stacked on each other for an even more impressive 3D look!

4. Attach wire to the back. (For these effects, just Bakugo and Todoroki’s effects need wire stands!)

Attaching wire to the back of the effects will allow them to stand up on their own!

There’s no set way to do this, just go by feel!

And now, for the complete effects!

These are perfect!!!

It takes some time from the original drawing until they’re done, but it’s totally worth it!

Let’s try displaying them with the Nendoroids!

First, here’s Deku!

▲Based on One For All! The lighting parts were challenging to get right, but it looks great!

▲Punch!

I used tape to attach these effects to the Nendoroid.

▲I used masking tape to stick this one to the figure!

▲For the second effect, I attached it to some support arms. (I then deleted the supports arms in post-production for the photo.)

Now let’s see Bakugo’s effect!

▲AWESOME!

▲It works great with his included BOOOM text plate!

▲Explosion explosion!!

Combine with your other Nendoroids for even more fun!

▲Recreate the world of “My Hero Academia”!

Finally, here’s Todoroki’s effects!

▲In his standard pose.

▲Pair with his included effects for a cool battle pose!

▲Pair with his CRAASSH text plate!

▲As though saying “Good bye.”

So… what do you think??

I think they turned out great with the figures, and they were a lot of fun to take pictures with!

The materials don’t cost to much, so be sure to try it yourself!

Thanks for reading!

Today’s main feature…!?

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Rikka Takarada ~I believe in future~

Sculptor: jarel   Paintwork: Iwabitsu, Z4

From the anime series “SSSS.GRIDMAN” comes a scale figure of Rikka Takarada. The figure is based on an illustration by Akira Amemiya, the director of SSSS.GRIDMAN, and has been created under complete supervision of TSUBURAYA PRODUCTIONS and TRIGGER. Various aspects of Rikka’s character and the world of SSSS.GRIDMAN have been incorporated into one high-quality figure. Be sure to add her to your collection!

Say you were to get hurt——

From SSSS.GRIDMAN comes a scale figure of Rikka Takarada!

This figure is based on an illustration by series director Akira Amemiya, featuring all kinds of different elements from the world of SSSS.GRIDMAN.

△From the original announcement!△

Taking a closer look, you can see Junk, Rikka’s school bag, phone, earphones, umbrella, the box lunch she gave to Anti, the bag from when she bought the pass case for Akane, her blue scarf…

Various different items from the series circle around Rikka as she appears to float in mid-air.

▲I personally really like the flowing look of her scarf!

You can see objects resembling those from the Computer World coming from the base as well!

According to the planning department supervisor for this figure, Chan Shuu, the clear base represents “nothingness”, and from that nothingness comes the Computer World, all of the various parts surrounding the figure and of course, Rikka.

Have fun reflecting on SSSS.GRIDMAN while looking at the figure when you take her home!

From Rikka’s flowing hair, the sharp look of Junk and the soft, loose appearance of her outfit makes for a figure with incredibly varied, impressive sculptwork.

No matter what angle you photograph her from, the figure is packed with detail.

And look at that subtle gazing expression! That gaze really pierces your heart. ( ・ㅂ・)و̑

▲Her soft smile makes for such a relaxed atmosphere!

Needless to say, her thighs look incredible, but also take a look at the subtle wrinkles on her socks, and the earphone cable loosely wrapped around her ankle.

▲Her loafers have been recreated with a glossy look to them for maximum detail.

As for the various items surrounding her, don’t miss the damaged-looking paintwork of Junk!

▲Compared to the other parts, you can really feel how old Junk is.

Rikka Takarada ~I believe in future~

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Rohan Kishibe

From the anime series “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable” comes a Nendoroid of Rohan Kishibe, the manga artist dedicated to seeking out inspiration from reality by any means necessary. The figure is fully articulated so you can display him in a wide variety of poses. He comes with three face plates including his intellectual standard expression, his intimidating combat expression and his “I refuse.” expression, allowing you to recreate a certain famous scene from the series.

For optional parts, he comes with a pen, a manuscript, a clear plate featuring his Stand, Heaven’s Door, as well as his sketchbook. Various hand parts are included allowing you to recreate all kinds of poses. Enjoy combining all of his different included parts to recreate your favorite scenes from the series. Be sure to add him to your collection!

“I refuse.”

The popular manga artist living in Morioh, Rohan Kishibe, has been transformed into an adorable Nendoroid!

His unique hairstyle and characteristic crop top outfit have been carefully recreated! ☆

His waist, knee and elbows are all fully articulated, allowing you to recreate your favorite poses from the series!

“The hardest thing to do… is to surpass yourself!”

▲A “Paper” hand part is included allowing you to recreate the scene with Rock-Paper-Scissors Kid!

In addition to his standard expression

“Do you think that I, Rohan Kishibe, draw manga for the sake of money and attention?!”

…he comes with his intimidating combat expression! His furrowed brow and wide-open mouth really conveys his emotions!

Of course, since this is his combat expression…

“Heaven’s Door!”

His pen, manuscript and a clear plate featuring his Stand, Heaven’s Door, are all included! Have fun recreating scenes from the series!

▲The Heaven’s Door plate comes with a special support arm and base, allowing you to display it independently!

▲The panels of his manuscript have been recreated in detail!

As for his third expression, you KNOW it has to be…

“I REFUSE.”

Yes!! From that famous scene, it’s his “I refuse.” expression!

Even in Nendoroid style, the strong, impactful appearance of this expression has been preserved. (;・`д・́)

▲Enjoy recreating scenes of Rohan Kishibe in Nendoroid form!

Additionally, a sketchbook that can be slung from his shoulder is included as well!

Use it to pose him as though going out in the world to seek inspiration for his manga! ((`・∀・´))

Nendoroid Vanilla (NEKOPARA)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Vanilla

From the popular game “NEKOPARA” that has an anime series in the works comes a Nendoroid of the youngest catgirl of the Minaduki household and twin sister of Chocola, Vanilla! She comes with three face plates including her gentle and adorable standard expression, a smiling expression with closed eyes and her smug expression.

Optional parts including a tray are also included. Be sure to add her to your collection along with Vanilla’s twin sister, Nendoroid Chocola (sold separately)!

A clever and quiet catgirl.

The new “NEKOPARA” anime series starts in January!! Now, the clever and relaxed catgirl Vanilla has been made into an adorable Nendoroid!

We recently revealed the painted prototype during Won Hobby Gallery 2019 Autumn!

Her adorable blue-accented uniform has been recreated to perfection! All of the frills and ribbons have been faithfully added in.

▲Don’t miss the cat ears on her socks!

The full look of her twintails has been carefully preserved in Nendoroid style!

Just like Chocola, Vanilla’s tail is articulated, allowing you to easily move it to match her pose! ( ⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎ )

In addition to her innocent standard expression, two more face plates are included!

Unfortunately, those two face plates have already been sent off to the factory for manufacturing purposes, so let’s take a look at the official product photos! ◎

Smiling expression with closed eyes

It looks like her blissful expression from when hugging her twin sister Chocola! Adorable!

Use the included arm parts to recreate this gentle, refined pose.

Smug expression

I love this mischievous face!

I’m certain you could use this for all kinds of situations!

Vanilla looks great on her own, but…

…be sure to display her with Nendoroid Chocola, also available for preorder now! (*´꒳`*)♡

Have fun displaying them together!

Nendoroid Vanilla

Available for preorder from the 10th of December!

Tohka Yatogami (Date A Live)

Today’s main feature…!?

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Tohka Yatogami

Sculptor: Koke, Paintwork: Nobuhiro Yoshino

From the popular light novel series “Date A Live” comes a 1/7th scale figure of the Spirit Tohka Yatogami based on an illustration by main illustrator Tsunako!

Her vividly colored purple armor and its various yellow decorations complement her gallant expression and impressive standing pose. Translucent parts have been utilized to recreate her armor and sword, making for a solid, somewhat translucent appearance. Be sure to add her to your collection!

Clad in purple armor. Number 10 -Melek- <Princess>

From the internationally popular series “Date A Live” comes a scale figure of the main heroine, Tohka Yatogami!

Based on an illustration by Tsunako, Tohka has been recreated in a gallant standing pose holding her greatsword Sandalphon.

▲Those eyes really convey her determination!

While her pose is simple, her flowing long hair and intricate armor are packed with detail.

Her armor features sharp edges and high-gloss paintwork, while her fluttering skirt beneath utilizes translucent parts for a more clothlike appearance.

Her arms and chest have also been recreated to have a softer look. ₍₍(∩´ ᵕ `∩)⁾⁾

▲The difference in textures between her armor and soft skin is really quite stunning!

▲Be sure to look and feel for yourself when you take her home! ( ੭•͈ω•͈)੭

Sandalphon has been recreated using translucent parts, giving it an almost glowing appearance from the inside.

▲Plenty of detail in every part of the blade!

The base features a cracked design that appears to be caused by the tip of the blade striking the ground. ◎

Be sure to take a look at every detail when you take her home!

1/7th Scale Figure
