Nendoroid Aoba Suzukaze

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The new graduates that joined us this year are currently moving between the different sections in the company as a part of their training! I remember doing the same thing when I first joined…

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

From the anime series scheduled to air in July 2016, ‘NEW GAME!’ (based on the manga by Shoutarou Tokunou serialized in Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara Carat) comes a Nendoroid of game developer Eagle Jump’s newest employee – Aoba Suzukaze! She comes with three face plates including a smiling face, an enthusiastic face as well as a rather upset whining face with tears and all!

The Nendoroid comes with parts to recreate various different poses, and also includes a variety of optional parts including a coffee cup, employee ID card, game-pad, speech balloon and even an alternate lower body part that allows you to display her sitting! Enjoy the struggles of the hard-working Aoba by your side in Nendoroid form!

“I’m Aoba Suzukaze! I look forward to working with you!”

From the anime series starting this Summer about a young working girl who starts her first job at a game company, ‘NEW GAME!’ comes a figure of the main character herself –Aoba Suzukaze!

As with most newcomers to the working world she is wearing a simple navy blue suit and her cute light purple twin-tails have been tied up with little flower accessories! Her expression looks so innocent and filled with curiosity and even her rather characteristic slippers have been transformed into Nendoroid size! (●´ω｀●)

The twin-tails are also fitted with joints to give some different nuances to poses!☆


△ Even the underside of her shoes clearly look lie slippers! ♪

Along with the bright and cheerful expression above, she also comes with this enthusiastic expression that shows she is ready to try her best at the new job!!

Ooooooooohhhh!! (´□｀｡)

She also comes with a speech balloon part to recreate the panel from the original manga that this expression is based on! The panel reads ‘I’m going to try my very best today!’, and comes with it’s own special stand to display beside her! ♥︎

You can also use this expression with the included coffee cup…

It looks like she is blowing on the coffee to cool it down! (✿´ ꒳ ` )

A little bit off topic, but the plastic insert cup she is using has always reminds me of the first time I started working in a company as well! I never really saw these kind of cups during my student years but they often seem to come out in company meetings! If you have similar cups in your offices you can enjoy a coffee break together with Aoba!! ★

Things like this coffee cup, the speech bubble and even this cheerful face make me want to put her on display next to my work desk right now! I want the inspiration! I’ll do my very best together with Aoba-chan!!

Anyway, let’s move onto her third expression which is when she keeps trying to do her very best but things just don’t go her way… (/ω＼)

A whining expression!

The wobbly looking mouth, tears in her eyes and those red cheeks show that she has had more than enough! You can see she has also removed the employee ID badge and thrown it down at her feet to show how she is feeling even more!!

However, the reason Aoba decided to join a company with all this stress is because she wanted to be a character designer for a game ever since she was a little girl! Which is why another part that just had to be included with her is this game pad!

Plus she also comes with sitting parts! ♪

I can’t be the only one that thinks girls look cute when sitting in work suits! As you can see her slippers can also be removed to reveal her cute little feet, which have actually been sculpted with such adorable little curves and balance! They really are so cute!! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡


△ Close-up! I could look at these cute little feet for ages!

You can make use of the expressions to create a little story of her playing some games as well…
First she is enthusiastically playing…

But then…

It didn’t turn out how she hoped!

You can recreate all sorts of original situations with the Nendoroid! Be sure to enjoy Aoba in all sorts of different ways once she joins your collection!

Add Eagle Jump’s newest employee to your collection!
Nendoroid Aoba Suzukaze!


She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include this Game Pad (Manga ver.) as a bonus!

△ You can use this with the sitting part to recreate the 1st volume manga cover!


Be sure to consider it when preordering! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Super Sonico: Racing Ver.

Today’s Main Feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Max Factory’s… 
Super Sonico: Racing Ver.!

From the anime series ‘SoniAni’ comes a figure of Super Sonico as she appeared in episode 10 of the series, dressed in the 2013 Racing Miku Supporters’ outfit! The figure is based on an illustration by character designer Santa Tsuji, and faithfully keeps all of the impressive volume!

The beautiful curves of Sonico’s bosom and bottom have all been carefully sculpted for fans to enjoy, and the different textures all over the figure have also been carefully recreated through intricate paintwork.

Super Sonico wearing a Racing Miku Supporter’s outfit!♥︎

The vocalist and guitarist for ‘Daiichi Uchuu Sokudo’ Super Sonico-chan has been made into an eye-catching figure dressed up in the 2013 Racing Miku Supporters’ outfit!

The glossy appearance of the outfit has been faithfully reproduced on the figure as well as the semi-transparent parts that give the entire outfit a somewhat futuristic appearance. Even her stockings have been beautifully painted to show the stretching material, giving them such a realistic appearance! (●´ω｀●)

Let’s see how she looks from the back! ♪

Your eyes do tend to jump to that lovely round bottom, but also take note of the lovely detail on her pink twin-tailed hair as it flutters behind her! ♪

The crisp appearance of her outfit still has various creases that make out the curves of her body so perfectly… you can tell just how lovely and soft her skin is…

Delicious!! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾

The sculpting is one thing, but coupled with the paintwork you can tell the difference between the textures so nicely… it makes you want to reach and and feel her delicious bosom for yourself! ★

Speaking of areas that you want to reach out and touch, this area really calls out to me as well…

Her Waist!

I can’t stop this vision in my mind of putting my finger in that bend at her waist! The skin looks so soft that it’s hard to believe the figure is made from PVC…! The forward bent pose also creates that little gap between her clothes and her skin!! (´□｀｡)

Another area that can’t be missed out on…

Those Thighs!!

The stockings are clearly quite thin, and the depressions made by Sonico’s graceful hand as it grips onto her leg makes me wish I could grab the leg myself and feel that softness!! It’s like the hand is sinking into her leg!! (*´Д｀)=з

You can really get a feel what areas of the figure the sculptor YOSHI-san and planner Kaneko Nitohei have focused on… which combined with the paintwork by Hiroyuki Hirose creates such a lively, touchable figure of Sonico… I could just stare at her all day long!!

But this figure isn’t ALL about the body, she also has this adorable baby face which shows off her personality as well!!♥︎

The little details around her eyes really bring out such a beautiful face!! This is the sweet Sonico that we have all come to love!! The contrast between the cute face and those overwhelming boobies is just another aspect of Sonico’s charm!

Let’s take a quick 360° look at her!

Even though the outfit is so revealing and should be one of those figures that are more for their erotic side… Sonico’s innocent smile has this weird effect that makes you want to love her for her character as well!! It’s hard to put into words but the figure really is such a pleasure to look at in so many ways!

By the way!! The thing she is wearing underneath the miniskirt is a part of her outfit! Not panties!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ They’re not panties so no need to be embarrassed!
Be sure to add the charming Sonico-chan to your collection!

Super Sonico: Racing Ver.!


She is currently up for preorder! ♡

Product Details: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5705/

Preorders at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will be available until the 29th June 2016 at 21:00, so don’t miss out! ♪

♥︎ Today’s Date ♥︎

This photo was taken at a lake in Kumamoto prefecture, Aso city last year in May.

I am currently living in Kumamoto, currently toward the north of the prefecture, but I often bring my friends to Aso city when they come to visit. There is an area in Aso called Sensuikyo that gives such a beautiful look at Mt. Aso – it is a well known location for tourists to see. Due to the earthquake that took place on the 23rd May 2016, the roads and paths that connect to Sensuikyo have been badly damaged and there is no way to reach the beautiful place. As one of the biggest attractions to the area, it has caused quite the blow to tourism in Aso.

When I took this photo I could never have imagined the disaster that would strike here. I can hardly remember why I took Kitakami-san and Ooi-san out with me here… I think I wanted to climb some mountains with the Kancolle girls. To be honest, the disaster did not affect me too much personally, but I want to pass on my condolences to all those that have suffered any losses in the disaster. I look forward to the day the I can come back to Sensuikyo and enjoy this scenery once again.

Miyuki Usami and Miya Usami

Hello everyone! Suwabe here! (@gsc_suwabe) Today I’m going to be taking a look at two of FREEing’s latest 1/4th scale figures…

Miya Usami and Miyuki Usami!

Let me first say that this ‘genre’ is one of my absolute best!

This is the first Kahotan Blog post where all of the photos have been taken directly with my own two hands, and I really hope some of my shots will help show off just how amazing these two are for everyone!! Let’s get started…

First up, lets get an idea of the 1/4th Scale!

Size comparison with an iPhone6!
(I have to say that I really envy that iPhone at the moment…)

Now that I look at it, it’s not really the greatest size comparison though… but trust me when I say that these two are really big! You can’t miss them!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them!
First up is the older sister – Miyuki Usami!

A 1/4th scale figure from Tony’s illustration series, “Tony’s Bunny Sisters”. The sexy Miyuki Usami is the older of the Usami sisters, and has been sculpted with a cool and composed look on her face as her long wavy hair flows around her.

She is wearing a pure white bunny suit with net tights made from real fabric to faithfully recreate her lascivious pose and beautiful body for fans to enjoy. Her younger sister Miya Usami will be on sale separately, and the two figures are designed to be displayed together to more faithfully recreate the scene from the original illustration (certain parts are interchangeable).

First a close-up of her face!

An absolute beauty, as you’d expect from anything based on Tony’s illustrations! The unique appearance of her eyes from the illustration have been captured so beautifully on the figure!

Such an elegant expression with such a contrasting outfit!! It’s perfect!!

The sculpting of her hair is also so very fine and detailed, and I believe I have found the best angle to enjoy it from! (`・ω・´)

The area covered up by her hair intrigues me, but we’ll take a closer look at that on her sister! For now…
Belly Button & Thighs!!

The bunny-girl outfit clings to her beautiful curves so perfectly, allowing you to enjoy every little bump and dent on her body – just look at  the little indent at her belly button! Not to mention the slight little gap between her thighs that let’s you peek through and see her curvaceous body… let’s go and check the other side!

I don’t know what you call it… but that point where the thighs connect to the bottom… I will always look at this area on scale figures – from the bottom!

For those who are not familiar with FREEing’s bunny series, also note that the net tights are made from real fabric! You can run your fingers along her legs and get the full realistic experience even with a figure!! Just be careful not to open any holes while doing so!!

What?! Another close-up of her face?

You might think so, but take a closer look!!

To be more specific , take a closer look around her hands… you’ll notice a part of her outfit seems to be folded down…

But you’ll have to wait till she joins your collection to see any more!!

I really wish I could show you… I really WANT to show you, but this is as far as I can go on this blog!  At the very least you can try and picture it for yourself from this side photo!!

But now with the older sister done, let’s move onto Miya Usami!

A 1/4th scale figure from Tony’s illustration series, “Tony’s Bunny Sisters”. Miya Usami is the younger of the Usami sisters that still has a bit of an innocent side. She has been sculpted with an embarrassed look on her face as her body’s impressive curves are shown off by the black bunny girl outfit, red skirt and net tights that give her a rather devilish appearance.

Her older sister Miyuki Usami will be on sale separately, and the two figures are designed to be displayed together to more faithfully recreate the scene from the original illustration (certain parts are interchangeable).
Back Shot! 
Miya has her hair cut much shorter than her older sister, but that also means you get a nice look at her sexy open back!
From the Top!

The same goes for her older sister above, but the slight pink coloring of her fingers and around her bosom are really lovely! I just want to dive in!!

From the Bottom!

For the second time… that point where the thighs connect to the bottom… I don’t know how long she is going to be able to keep those tights on so neatly.
From the Bottom! #2


The texture of the outfit looks so realistic – she looks as smooth as a dolphin in it!! I have come to the conclusion that this is a figure designed to be touched!

Interchangeable Parts!

Just like her older sister, Miya also comes with an alternate chest part for a slightly more revealing pose. I have to admit I was a little nervous taking photos of her in the offices with everyone watching me so I wasn’t quite able to enjoy her to the fullest… but I’m sure everyone will be able to once she joins their collections. (Me too…)

But then when they are together…!

They both also comes with interchangeable right arms so they can be posed in the same position as Tony’s original illustration! Miya-chan also comes with a red skirt part! (As if the bunny suit wasn’t enough!)
Crossed arms! Embarrassed expression!

From this side angle you also get such a nice view of… well… of the girls!!

Then from the back…!

I don’t think I need to speak any more! Just let the photos do all the talking!!
Simply go back and enjoy them – as singles or intertwined with each other!

Miya Usami and Miyuki Usami!

UP FOR PREORDER NOW!!
Preorders for both at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 15th June 2016!

Miyuki Usami (GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP)
Miya Usami (GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP)

Anyway that’s all for today! I hope to see you all again next week! (*´ω`*)

Nendoroid Ichimatsu Matsuno

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The yearly health check-up for GSC staff is coming up soon… as soon as I think about them drawing blood I start to get nervous!

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

Nendoroid Ichimatsu Matsuno!

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a Nendoroid of the fourth son of the Matsuno family, Ichimatsu! He comes with three face plates including his standard expression with eyes half-closed, a dark expression as well as a blank expression with a variety of different stickers for you to create your very own expression!

Optional parts include a face mask for when he is sick, ESP Kitty with a cat toy and a variety of different hand and leg parts to allow for all sorts of different poses! Be sure to display him with his other brothers who are also joining the Nendoroid series!

“Me? I’m the fourth son of the Matsuno family – Ichimatsu Matsuno.”

The sarcastic Matsuno brother who always takes things at his own pace and finds the best of friends in cats is joining the Nendoroid series!

The Nendoroid captures his character nicely with the slouching back, needlessly large hoodie, sandals, slightly messy hair and those sleepy half-closed eyes!! Not to mention that the ESP Kitty that played a rather big role in episode 5 of the series is also included to display beside him!

△ ESP Kitty’s neck is fitted with a joint for slightly different poses!

Ichimatsu’s standard standing pose has the back sculpted at a curve to recreate his slouch!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

△ The messy look of his hair also looks great!

Optional parts include a cat toy for the cat-loving Ichimatsu…

 … as well as sitting parts to let him sit and pay with ESP Kitty! 

Not only do these parts work great with the kitty, but when you display Ichimatsu together with the other brothers it really brings out his laid back personality in comparison with them! ♪

△ The half-closed eyes looking upward seem to match this pose perfectly!

Plus, he also comes with this expression!

A ‘Dark Matsu’ Expression!

The expression from the end of the rental girlfriend episode! The shadows around his eyes have been specifically colored a very dark color to keep that comically dark appearance even as a Nendoroid! ♪

The mask can also be removed… 

To reveal a kind of scheming expression! (/ω＼)

I’m a little worried for as to what happened to Karamatsu after this photo was taken! As mentioned above the mask can be removed, but that also means that you can also attach it on to the other brothers as well!!

△ The mask fits in between the head and body parts to be hold in place!

I think it also looks really nice on Ichimatsu’s standard expression too!

△ It looks like he is about to lift the mask just to say something sarcastic! ♡

Just like the other Osomatsu-san Nendoroids he also comes with a blank expression as well as a set of expression stickers allowing you to choose what third expression you want for him! ★

△ You can even recreate all sorts of popular scenes!

By the way! You can also swap hand parts between characters to have them hold each others items!

This allows for even more fun and original and interesting situations to be had!  ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

The Nendoroid series also allows you to swap head parts around, which means you can even recreate incidents like this!

△ More info about Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno here!

It’s not quite perfect fashion… but you can even dress him up in Karamatsu’s outfit and glasses!  (ΦωΦ 三 ΦωΦ)

△ He is trying to practice his pretentious smile to be more like Karamatsu?

Enjoy the Osomatsu-san world right at your fingertips! They are great by themselves but so much more fun with the whole Matsuno brothers collection! (●´ω｀●)

A Nendoroid of the fourth Matsuno brother! 

Nendoroid Ichimatsu Matsuno!

He’ll be up for preorder later today!!

Plus don’t forget that Nendoroid Choromatsu Matsuno will also be up for preorder at the same time! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Nendoroid Choromatsu Matsuno

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The weather keeps jumping between hot and cold at the moment! I get the feeling I’m catching a cold from all the sudden changes in temperature! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Choromatsu Matsuno!

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a Nendoroid of the third son of the Matsuno family, Choromatsu! He comes with three face plates including a smiling expression, an angry expression as well as a blank expression with a variety of different stickers for you to create your very own expression!

Optional parts include a ‘Nya-chan’ bag, two glow sticks and a variety of different hand and leg parts to allow for all sorts of different poses! Be sure to display him with his other brothers who are also joining the Nendoroid series!

“Who is it? That’s right! It’s Choromatsu!”

The only one of the six brothers with a bit of common sense who becomes rather useless in the presence of cute girls – Choromatsu Matsuno is joining the Nendoroid series! ★

His downward facing eyebrows, V-shaped smiling face and the green hoodie have all been shrunk down into Nendoroid size keeping all of Choromatsu’s unique charms! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Choromatsu is also known to keep his hair very well kempt, which is perserved on the Nendoroid with hyst how amazingly smooth it looks!

△ The one little dent at the side is lovely though!

He also comes with lots of optional parts!

First up, he comes with a paper bag featuring an illustration of his favorite idol – Nyaa Hashimoto! He also comes with the CITY WORK job advertisement magazine!

We got the original data for the magazine’s design directly from the publisher which means we could create the cover down to the finest little details!!

△ Covering up his mouth makes his eyes look a little worried! ♪

Plus…

“These sticks? Yep, they glow!“

Green glow sticks perfect for an idol otaku!★

This means he can go out and cheer for Nya-chan with all his strength!! ♪ Plus from this angle you can actually see the shirt he is wearing peeking out at the top of the hoodie!

Unfortunately, the glow sticks for the Nendoroid don’t actually glow, but I thought it would be fun to display him with some actual glowing glow sticks as well!! ★

△ Now it looks more like he really is participating in a concert! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

The Nya-chan bag has a poster sticking out the back, and if you pose him with both the bag and the glow sticks it looks like he is walking home after an enjoyable live convert! (*´Д｀)=з

△ The fact that he is still holding the glow sticks
shows how much he enjoyed the show!

Anyway, let’s move on to his second expression…

…which has a very sudden change!!

An Angry Expression!

Choromatsu has a very large range of expressions depending on how he is being treated, and the gap between his standard expression and this expression is quite entertaining!! ♡

This expression is best used with his brothers…

You can just imagine some of his angry lines as he shouts at Osomatsu for taking his glow sticks before the concert! Bringing out the atmosphere of the Osomatsu-san series is really so fun and easy with the Nendoroids!!

But that’s not all! Just like his brother’s, Choromatsu also comes with a blank expression as well as three different expression stickers to choose from! ♪

Pose him swinging the glow sticks with this expression, or standing with one of his brothers with that expression… the possibilities are endless!

Be sure to create all sorts of fun and interesting original scenes!! ♡

The cute Nendoroid of the third Matsuno brother! ♪

Nendoroid Choromatsu Matsuno!

He will be up for preorder from Thursday! ♪

Just like his brothers before him, preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a special round base as well as two additional blank expressions!

The perfect item for carrying your Nendoroid Choromatsu out and about with you no matter where you go! You can see some examples of use on the previous versions for Osomatsu and Karamatsu!

Okurikara

Greetings everyone!
Chan-shuu from Good Smile Company’s planning team here! (@gscs_hirase)

This is my second blog and I’m still getting used to the ropes but I think everything is getting smoother now!! Today I’m going to be taking a look at ORANGE ROUGE’s latest product…

The 1/8th Scale…

Okurikara!

From the popular browser game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Okurikara based on his standard standing pose from the game.

The figure faithfully captures Okurikara’s aloof expression, darker skin tone and the characteristic tattoo of the Kurikara Dragon on his arm to bring out his unique charm and personality for fans to enjoy by their side! Be sure to add him to your collection!

“I am Okurikara. There is nothing else to say.”

The dark-skinned uchigatana ‘Okurikara’ as a scale figure! His outfit that looks a bit like a ‘gakuran’ jacket and his long hair covering up his one eye as he glares out the other have all been faithfully preserved in the figure!!

As with the previous scale figures from Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- the figure is based on his standard standing pose from the game! Okurikara has that intimidating gaze and one foot forward in a pose that makes him look ready to react to anything! (ﾟＡﾟ😉

Let’s see how he looks from the back!

The arch in his back shows him standing up straight with confidence!

The creases in his jacket, rolled-up sleeves and warm loose waist-cloth wavering at his legs make for such a manly appearance! The tattoo on his left arm also looks amazing… but I’ll take a closer look at that a little later!

“I have no intention of being friends.”

The powerful, cold gaze just seems to match his line from the game so perfectly! The tightly closed mouth has a bit of a frowning look to it, yet there is something about his eyes that shows he has a somewhat gentle side to his personality! His expression tells so much!

Note the red tips of his hair at the back!

The very top of his head has black hair, but as it flows down to his neck it gradually fades into a dark red!

Also take a close look at that neck while we’re here! Just look at those masculine neck muscles, his collarbone and the Adam’s apple slightly visible from this angle!! It’s such incredible detail!! (;ﾟ∀ﾟ)=3

The paintwork also emphasizes the shadows making everything stand out so nicely!

Next up we have his jacket!

The jacket has a half-glossy black paint with shiny golden buttons and highlights that match beautifully! The necklace also matches up with the jacket for a simple yet stylish outfit – the necklace even has the small Sanskrit characters carefully carved into it! The white V-neck T-shirt also contrasts with the black jacket so effectively! （つД+ *）

Even the shirt has very slight shadows painted on to it! This had to be done rather carefully to ensure that the darker areas did not end up looking like a dirty shirt instead of shadows. Seeing the work done on this figure really shows just what artisans those who worked on it are!

As he is sculpted in a confident pose pushing his stomach out the creases on the back of his jacket have been carefully sculpted to match that pose.

You can also see the way the jacket has collected up at his elbows due to the way he has rolled up his sleeves – the movement of his body is so clear even over all his clothes.

His tassets and waist-cloth!

From the front, the purple cloth tied around his waist really stands out…

From the back the wavering of the waist-cloth stands out!

The armor on his upper legs is known as ‘tassets’, and you can tell from the sculpt and painting that they have a very different texture! They have a much heavier appearance to them! If you look really close you can even see the layer underneath the tassets is also sculpted onto the figure!

Then we move onto my personal favorite area…

The tattoo of the Kurikara Dragon on his left arm!

In his hand he grips his sword with it’s beautiful purple scabbard and golden guard… but what really pulls the eye is the tattoo along his arm – the tattoo of the Kurikara Dragon, which is where Okurikara gets his name from!

Also take a nice close look at the muscles on his wrist! Lovely! (*´ω｀*)

The tattoo has actually been redone again and again trying to get it to follow his bone and muscle structure as naturally as possible! I think we ended up capturing it really nicely in the end though! His black leather gloves and the tightly gripped fist inside are also one of his many highlights!

His pants and shoes!

Even all the way down here the sculpting of the creases is incredible!! The pants are not too loose and not too tight – just the right size to cover up the ankles!

The shoes really look like they are made from leather thanks to the glossy paintwork – but it’s a very different kind of shine when compared to the jacket! It looks like he just shined his shoes to perfection!!

▲ Finally my favorite shot for today! This angle captures his body-line so well!

The 1/8th Scale…

Okurikara!

 

Preorders will be open from tomorrow around noon Japan time! Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP…


…will also include this Okurikara Sword Charm as a bonus!╭( ･ㅂ･)و̑̑

Make sure you don’t miss out!!

Nendoroid Batman: Justice Edition

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this product currently up for preorder!

Nendoroid Batman: Justice Edition!

From the popular movie ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ comes a Nendoroid of Batman dressed up in his armor. The Nendoroid is a part of the fully articulated ‘Edition’ series of Nendoroids which allows for all sorts of action poses from the movie! His characteristic armor has been shrunk down into Nendoroid size keeping the epic appearance while also adding that cute Nendoroid charm!The paintwork has also been very intricately tuned to give the armor a heavy and metallic appearance. His batarang is also included in an all new sculpt for the Justice Edition, as well as a new Bat Signal based on the Batman v Superman design.

The Battle of the Century!

From ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ comes a Nendoroid of the Dark Knight and Vigilante of Gotham – Batman!  While the previously released Nendoroid Batman: Hero’s Edition which had more of a glossy appearance, this version of Batman has a more metallic appearance that has been preserved in the Nendoroid nicely!

△ You can make for epic poses just by adjusting the way the light reflects! ☆

As with the last Batman Nendoroid, this one is a fully articulated figure with joints in areas like the knees and elbows which allows for various action poses! ε=(｡・д・｡)

△You can also twist the body itself quite freely!

Plus if you take a closer look at the body itself you can see the details of the sculpt on his suit and belt – even the armor on his wrists and legs has a nice sharp, heavy appearance that really sets up the atmosphere nicely!  (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

The parts of his armor closest to his body have a matte finish that contrasts against the metallic look of the other parts very nicely!

The Nendoroid also includes his batarangs, but this time they have a much sharper appearance to better match the designs from the new movie!! (/ω＼)

The entire sculpt and color have both been completely changed!

This Batman has been specially tuned to match his setting from ‘Batman v Superman’! Let’s take a closer look at his cape! ★

The cape is separated into two sides and fitted with a ball joint!

This allows you to move the cape around to match all sorts of different movements and easily match the cape with your pose!

Plus you can also get a rather rare look at the reverse side of Batman’s outfit – it is nice and detailed as well, so be sure to take a closer look once he joins your collection!

Standing atop a building with the wind blowing his cape…

△ Also note the little tears at the end of his cape! Lovely details!

A Bat Signal based on the new design is also included! ♪

△ The bat silhouette is slightly larger compared to last time!

It also comes with parts to display it shining out into the night sky to bring out that Batman atmosphere even more! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

△ This is still the prototype so it looks a bit like a sticker here,
but the actual product will have the bat printed directly on the light!

Fine tune the lighting to recreate some awesome arrival scenes, or make use of the flexible joints to recreate original action scenes! The possibilities are endless!!

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword – 1/7th Scale Link

Hello everyone! This is I.G. Sakai from Max Factory’s product planning division! Today I’m going to be taking a look at this figure from ‘The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’ that went up for preorder today!

1/7th Scale Link!


You can just feel the spirit of Link flowing out of the figure! The sculpting by Yuuki Ishiyama and painting by Hiroyuki Hirose of Decomas Lab has come together so perfectly to create a figure filled with variety! As you can from the photo above, Link looks amazing with a shadow cast over him!

▲The photo almost looks more like a painting than a figure!

Taking photos of Link against a black background really makes the figure stand out in a way that it looks more like a painting than a figure! You can see how carefully the figure has made use of the effects of light and shadow as accurately as possible!

▲Size comparison with an iPhone5!

Link is a 1/7th scale figure, but he has a more bulky figure than most female figures giving the figure some very noticeable volume! But anyway, that’s all I’m going to be taking a look at on the blog, but we have also set up a special site where you take a look at more highlights, so be sure to take a look!

■ 1/7th Scale Figure Link Special Site
http://special.goodsmile.info/whs_link/en/

The special site features close up photos with little explanations, so be sure to take a look! Here is a little peek!

▲ You can really see the detail on the chain mail with a close-up!

Also be sure to take a look at the product page where we have also prepared a video to take a closer look at the video!!

■ Link Product Page:
http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5678/

The 1/7th scale Link is a part of the WONDERFUL HOBBY SELECTION series of top quality products! Note that while this product is exclusive to the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP in Japan, he will also be available as always in our international partner shops! Make sure you don’t miss out!

Anyway, that’s all from me for today!
Here is a quick summary of the product details!
