Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I prefer pears to apples! The juicy sweetness and lovely biting texture make for such an irresistible fruit!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the Nendoroid that went up for preorder together with Nendoroid Osomatsu Matsuno,

Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno!★

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a Nendoroid of the second son of the Matsuno family, Karamatsu! He comes with a smiling expression, an expression trying to act cool as well as a blank expression with a variety of different stickers for you to create your very own expression!

Optional parts include a hand mirror, sunglasses 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 planned to be released as Nendoroids!

“I am the second son born into the Matsuno family, Karamatsu Matsuno!”

The second brother always trying his best to be cool is also joining the Nendoroids! ♪

Product Details: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5625/

Those rather thick and posed eyebrows, rolled-up sleeves on his hoodie, one hand placed in his pocket and cute mouth with just the corners pointing up for a bit of a stuck-up smile! Everything that makes Karamatsu different to the other brothers has been preserved on the Nendoroid in lovely detail!! (/ω＼)

He even comes with a hand mirror to quickly ensure he is looking like his normal cool self! The mirror actually makes use of a reflective material!

△  Meet his gaze through the mirror!

 △ He is researching which angle looks the coolest! So cute!!

You can see that his hoodie and jeans are quick similar to Osomatsu’s… but the jeans actually have a slightly different sculpt if you look close!

Can you tell the difference?!

Karamatsu makes use of ‘skinny’ type jeans, so they are sculpted to look slimmer when compared to Osomatsu! There is clearly a lot more slack around Osomatsu-san’s feet as well when compared with Karamatsu!

As I’m sure most of you already know, all six brothers are going to be joining the Nendoroids!٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Along with different expressions and accessories for each of them, the outfit changes will always be more than just color – with each Nendoroid altered to better fit the character’s original design! Be sure to look forward to the other four brothers coming soon!!

Anyway, let’s move onto his second expression!

“So… you’re finally here? My Karamatsu Girls.”

An expression perfect for Karamatsu trying to act cool! ♡

The expressions from Osomatsu-san are quite different to normal anime expressions, but their charm converts into the Nendoroid design really effectively!!

The balance of the expression is lovely!! Plus he also comes with another optional part that suits this expression nicely – sunglasses!

“The sun… is basking in my light!”

It’s amazing how much the atmosphere of the expression changes when you can no longer see the sparkling eyes!! ♪

Of course you can still see the sharp look of his eyebrows as he tries to make a cool expression behind the glasses… (*´Д｀)=з

On the actual product the frame will have a clear plastic sheet that can be inserted in between the hair and expression parts to keep the glasses in place!

But the fact that you can remove the glasses also means the other brothers can also wear them!

Without the eyes showing on this expression, it’s quite hard to tell whether Osomatsu-san is enjoying himself or instead embarrassed! (●´ω｀●)

Using all the included bent arm and accessory parts allows you to bring together all sorts of poses and situations that bring out his character perfectly!


△ Change expressions and create a little story!

Plus, just like Osomatsu-san, his third expression is a blank expression! ☆

The expression comes with stickers that allow you to choose which expression you want to use! ♪

△ Some should remind you of specific scenes from the series!

All the other brothers in the series will also make use of this blank expression together with stickers! Simply pick the expression that you want the most!! ♥︎

Add the cute second brother to your collection!

Thanks to everyone who tuned into to live broadcast! Those who were watching will know that these two will be going up for preorder next week Monday!!

Nendoroid Osomatsu Matsuno &
Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno! 


△ Nendoroid Osomatsu & Karamatsu Matsuno together! Each sold separately!

These two will both be going up for preorder on the same day, but today I’m going to be focusing on the charismatic legend Osomatsu Matsuno! I’ll be taking a look at the younger Karamatsu next week Monday! ☆

Nendoroid Osomatsu Matsuno

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a Nendoroid of the eldest son of the Matsuno family, Osomatsu! He comes with a smiling expression, a playful drunk expression as well as a blank expression with a variety of different stickers for you to create your very own expression!

Optional parts include some of Chibita’s oden, some beer 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 planned to be released as Nendoroids!

“I am the oldest of the Matsuno brothers, Osomatsu Matsuno!”

The eldest son who grew kept his mischievous young self all the way into adulthood is joining the Nendoroids! ☆

He has been sculpted wearing his trademark hoodie with the ‘Matsu’ mark together with a smiling expression that really captures his mischievous personality! The pose here with one finger pointed outward could also be interpreted in all sorts of ways! He could be pointing out that he is the first of the Matsuno brothers, or perhaps ordering another beer or even stating he is aiming to be #1! So many possible situations come to mind!! ♪

As I’m sure you already know, all six brothers will be joining the Nendoroids! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

For those who want to collect all six, we have tuned the optional parts and price down a little in order to make it easier on the wallets to buy all six!

That said, they still come with a nice variety of parts to show off their characters!! For example, Osomatsu-san comes with…

＼ Beer! ／
△ You can just imagine him saying something like “Plus one oden, please!”

The beer makes use of translucent parts for the glass so you can really see the fill glass of beer! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Plus he also had to come with …

Some of Chibita’s oden!!

Plus he also comes with an expression that fits these two parts perfectly… a drunk expression!! ♥︎

That look on his face that just shows that it’s better to enjoy the now than worry about tomorrow!! He looks like he is having so much fun!!

“One more round!”

If you’re wondering about his size, he stands around 10cm in height! 

Great to display in your house, play around with or even go out with!! Use the various accessories as well as the different arm parts for all sorts of different poses! ♡


△  “Cheers! You made it to Friday!” ♪

Plus he also comes with a blank expression and expression stickers so that you can make your very own expression too!! (●´ω｀●)

△ You’ll have to wait until he goes up for preorder to see the stickers!

Add the eldest of the Matsuno brothers to your collection! ♪

Nendoroid Osomatsu Matsuno

He’ll be up for preorder from the 25th April!! ★

Plus, preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Special Round Base with the Matsu-mark as well as two bonus blank expression parts!ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

△ The special round Nendoroid base! (Nendoroid Osomatsu version)

This round base will be included as a GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP bonus with all the other upcoming brothers as well – all in their image color! For example, Nendoroid Karamatsu will instead come with a blue colored base!

By the way, the standard product already includes one blank expression part, so by preordering from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will end up with three blank expressions to make your own!! Be sure to consider it when preordering! ♡

Ranko Kanzaki ~Rosenburg Engel~

Today’s Main Feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

Ranko Kanzaki ~Rosenburg Engel~!

From the anime series ‘THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of Ranko Kanzaki. She has been sculpted in a dynamic pose based on her outfit from her solo unit promotional video, ‘Rosenburg Engel’.

The magnificent outfit makes use of pearl paint to faithfully recreate its eye-catching appearance. The wings make use of translucent parts for a more mystical appearance – bringing out the way Ranko sees the world in her figure. Be sure to add her to your collection!

“My dark power… the time has come for you to awaken!”

The chosen idol with the power of the ‘eye’ as a 1/7th scale figure dressed in one of her many Gothic-style outfits from the series!

The outfit is from her ‘Rosenburg Engel’ promotional video… and as you can see it is one very tight-fitting outfit! ♥

You make out her body’s beautiful curves so nicely thanks to the tight fit!

The wing parts make use of semi-translucent parts that slowly fade to a more solid color through a beautiful gradient! The way the light shines through them adds to that mysterious atmosphere that surrounds Ranko!

The twist in her hips and the gentle bumps on her bare back are also a treat for fans! (´□｀｡)

The  different in texture of the wings, outfit and bare skin as also been separated really effectively through both the sculpt and the paintwork! Both the skin and outfit look so smooth, yet they are definitely a different kind of smooth!


△ The heels on the boots also give a nice peek of skin just like on her back! ★

Another part of the sculpt that I really want to point out…

Those lovely curly twin tails!! 

The fact that the movement of the hair matches up with the twist in her hips gives the whole figure a nice dynamic feeling! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The light and airy feeling of her hair is also so nice with those twirls bouncing on the ends! I’m sure they are going to give the manufacturing team a hard time!!

Also, if we look a little closer at her outfit you can see the details of the accessory at her neck and the frills on the edge of her arm cover… the sculpting is really magnificent! (●´ω｀●)


△The shape of her armpit on the right is also lovely!

Last but not least a full look at her from the back! ♡


△ The paintwork and reflection of light makes the figure look
fresh no matter what angle you choose to look from! ★

Enjoy the dark charm of the mysterious Ranko in your collection!! ♥︎

Ranko Kanzaki ~Rosenburg Engel~!

She is currently up for preorder!!

Nendoroid Shokaku & Nendoroid Zuikaku

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Thanks to everyone who tuned into the live broadcast yesterday! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Shokaku & Nendoroid Zuikaku!

“Fifth Carrier Division, Nendoroid Shokaku. Ready to sortie!”
“Fifth Carrier Division, Nendoroid Zuikaku. Heading out!”

Apologies for the long wait! Both of the two Shokaku-class aircraft carrier sisters are going up for preorder today!!

△ They might be sisters, but they are each sold separately!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them!

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Nendoroid Shokaku!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the first Shokaku-class aircraft carrier, Shokaku! The Nendoroid is based on Shokaku’s ‘Kai Ni’ upgrade but also has parts to recreate her ‘Kai Ni A’ and standard versions. Nendoroid Shokaku comes with three expressions including her standard expression, an attacking expression for combat as well as a half-damaged expression.An alternate body to recreate her half-damaged appearance is also included, allowing fans to enjoy all sorts of different scenes. Other optional parts include a Type Zero Fighter Model 52 and three “Tenzan” aeroplanes to display around her – with one of the Tenzan planes upgraded to the Model 12 version. She also comes with some ice-cream just like her sister ship, Zuikaku.

“I’m Shokaku, the first Shokaku-class aircraft carrier. I strive to live up to the names of my seniors in the first and second aviation divisions together with Zuikaku!”

The gentle older sister always looking out for Zuikaku, Shokaku is joining the Nendoroids! The gentle demeanour and expression really capture her kind personality nicely!

However! Once she heads into combat… she looks just as ready to fight as any of the other ships!! ((＞д＜))


A Type Zero Fighter Model 52 and three “Tenzan” aeroplanes are included to display around her together with a shouting expression which looks great for combat scenes! ♥︎

Plus you may have noticed that the armor around her feet as also changed… as well as the circle on her headband! These alternate parts allow you to change her into the ‘Kai Ni’ upgraded version of Shokaku!! (σ・∀・)σ

But she comes with another set of similar parts!

Which allow you to display the ‘Kai Ni A’ Version! ★


△ Simply pick the version that you like the most! ♪

In addition, she also comes with parts to recreate her half-damaged appearance! っ(/ω＼)

(…What an adorable expression…!!)

The burning effects on the ship deck with the black smoke billowing up to the sides also really adds to the damaged appearance of the ship, while the torn up clothes have been faithfully represented even in Nendoroid size!!

△ The smiley face logo on the leg joint peeking through the torn skirt!

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Nendoroid Zuikaku!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the second Shokaku-class aircraft carrier, Zuikaku! The Nendoroid is based on Zuikaku’s ‘Kai Ni A’ upgrade but also has parts to recreate her standard version. Nendoroid Zuikaku comes with three expressions including her standard expression, a half-damaged expression that doubles as an expression for combat scenes as well as a grumpy expression.

An alternate body to recreate her half-damaged appearance is also included, allowing fans to enjoy all sorts of different scenes. Other optional parts include a variety of aeroplanes to fly beside her such as a Type Zero Fighter Model 52, a Type Zero Fighter Model 62 (Fighter-bomber), a Zero Fighter Model 52C (Iwai Platoon) and a Suisei bomber. She also comes with some ice-cream just like her sister ship, Shokaku.

“I am the second Shoukaku-class aircraft carrier, Zuikaku. They call me the ‘lucky aircraft carrier’, but it’s not luck – I just try my very best at all times. So long as I have planes to launch, I’ll never be taken down!”

The slightly mischievous aircraft carrier with lovely black twin tails – Zuikaku is also joining the Nendoroids! ♥︎

That confident look in her eyes has been captured so nicely!! I can just imagine her energetic voice when I look at that face! Just like Shokaku, the ship parts connect into her back with a second Nendoroid joint allowing you to easily move them around to fit your pose!

I can’t wait to see some of the original poses that the Admirals out there will come up with!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Zuikaku is well known for her impressive line-up of planes, and to show that the Nendoroid comes with a Type Zero Fighter Model 52, a Type Zero Fighter Model 62 (Fighter-bomber), a Zero Fighter Model 52C (Iwai Platoon) and a Suisei bomber to fly by her side!


△ They are so tiny, but the differences between the types can be identified!

You can also switch out the deck parts and leg parts to display her in her Kai Ni A upgraded version, just like her older sister! ☆

Plus Zuikaku also comes with a damaged body..!

Just like Shokaku, she also comes with an expression to fit with the body…

For the full Kai Ni half-damaged pose!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ The sweat on her cheek and determined look show she isn’t going to give up!

Her third expression is this grumpy expression to capture the tsundere side of her personality for fans to enjoy as well! ♪

(I’m sure this can be used for all sorts of situations!)

Start thinking up some stories to make with her once she is released!! ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇

Both of the sisters also come with… some ice cream!!

They can be posed enjoying some frozen treats together! ♡


△ The ice-cream is planned to slide between the fingers on certain hand parts!

In other words you can enjoy all sorts of poses from their standard poses and combat poses to half-damaged poses or even some special poses to show off their distinct personalities! There are so many options with the two of them!★

Simply pose them in the ways you prefer!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Nendoroid Shokaku!

⇒ Product Details

Akari Hizamaru from the same series has also been released as a Nendoroid! ♪

△ Nendoroid Akari Hizamaru: Super Movable Edition
Released September 2015

As you can see from the images above Akari Hizamaru could be posed in both his standard and transformed forms… and this Nendoroid of Michelle doesn’t disappoint in that department either!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Just take this injector…

Place it on the neck…

…and Press!!

＼ Transformation Complete!／

Those powerful looking eyes and clenched teeth… she looks ready to take out some Terraformars!

She comes with an alternate transformed expression, armored arm parts as well as feeler parts for her head! In addition she also comes with some amazing effect parts to be used for even more combat scenes…! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Poison Gas Effect Parts! ★

As well as a special expression designed to display her blowing the gas out to completely recreate the memorable scene from the series!

△ The semi-translucent parts create that gas-like appearance!

Plus as you may have noticed from the product name she is an ‘Edition’ Nendoroid, which means she is fully articulated for all sorts of different poses!!

Michelle’s impressive body has also been faithfully preserved in Nendoroid size! Even in Nendoroid form there is quite some volume on that chest!

Her glassed can also be attached and removed whenever you like, so if you prefer Michelle without her glasses  you are free to pose her that way!

Nendoroid Co-de: Hatsune Miku: Raspberryism Co-de

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Apparently there is berry flavoured nattou! Apparently it goes well with bread… I look forward to trying it! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Anyway, today I’ll be taking at a look at the latest Nendoroid Co-de figure…

Nendoroid Co-de: Hatsune Miku: Raspberryism Co-de!

From the SEGA feat. HATSUNE MIKU Project’s ‘Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- X’ comes a Nendoroid Co-de of the conspicuous ‘Raspberryism’ module!

The rich colors of the module that give her the energetic appearance she is known for have been faithfully included in the design, creating a Miku who is rather different to the one we normally see. A unique design for fans to add to their Co-de collection!

“The Raspberry Monster that travels freely through cyberspace!”

The energetic and rather sporty looking Hatsune Miku module illustrated by Aki Akane – ‘Raspberryism’ is joining the Nendoroid Co-de series! The vivid pink, yellow and brown colors look so fun and colorful, and the playful grin showing off her lovely white teeth make her look so cute!!! (●´ω｀●)

The rather unique outfit that gives a nice peek at her stomach really gives off such an energetic appearance that suits the ‘Raspberry Monster’ perfectly! ★

Even though she has been converted into chibi Nendoroid size, the charming points of the module has been preserved so nicely! The hemming of the shorts and top, cute little feet and details of the outfit around her collar are all so lovely to look at!!

Let’s take a look at her from the back!

Her cute hairstyle that is quite a change from standard Miku figures has also been faithfully recreated in Nendoroid size! The bold mix of green and pink looks great!! Anyway, let’s stop here for a second for…

A Quick Nendoroid Co-de Recap!


Nendoroid Co-de is a new addition to the Nendoroid series based on the theme of dressing-up characters! The figures have fixed poses and each come with four parts – the head, upper garment, lower garment and shoes. Each of these parts can be swapped between characters allowing for all sorts of possibilities. The more you collect, the more dress-up options become available to you!

In other words…! They are simple fixed pose Nendoroids, great for new collectors, with the ability to dress-up in various ways!

They are designed to be fun for Nendoroid collectors to collect, and for younger fans to enjoy playing with and creating all sorts of new dress coordination! You can see all the figures released so far over on the…

Yamatonokami Yasusada

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I really feel like going to Kyoto!! I met with a friend from my university in Kyoto the other day and now I really want to go visit!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at ORANGE ROUGE’s latest figure!

The 1/8th Scale…
Yamatonokami Yasusada!

From the popular browser game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Yamatonokami Yasusada based on his standard standing pose from the game.His calm and collected expression, graceful stance and equipment painted to retain its lacquered appearance have all been faithfully recreated in figure form, bringing the charm of Yamatonokami Yasusada to fans to enjoy by their side! Be sure to add him to your collection!

“I am Yamatonokami Yasusada.
Not easy to handle, but a good sword.”

That blue and white haori coat and gentle expression from the original illustration has been preserved perfectly!! The sword was originally owned by the Shinsengumi captain, Okita Souji – Yamatonokami Yasusada is becoming a 1/8th scale figure!  

His gentle looking blue eyes, eyebrows with a strong will behind them, the beauty spot under his left eye… and that cute smiling mouth that makes me imagine his voice!! All the charms from the game have been faithfully preserved in figure form for fans to enjoy! The different textures of the outfit have also been beautifully crafted!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

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

The front of his hair is sticking out to the sides, and the ponytail made in the image of a Pomeranian’s tail looks so lovely and fluffy from the back! While the pose is just a rather simple standing pose, the sculpt of his haori and hair wafting about in the wind  gives the figure a lovely feeling of motion! (´□｀｡)

They say he is a sword that is not easy to handle, but the gentle and quiet expression on his face makes me think that he would be so easy to get along with! ♪


△ I’ve always liked the big jump between his standard and combat poses!

However! No matter how gentle he may appear, there are elements that clearly capture his masculine side as well!

Let’s start off with a simple example… (*´Д｀)=з

His neatly, short cut nails and somewhat bony fingers… not to mention the size of the hand itself!

This angle really makes the hand look so nice and manly!! Another part that has a rather masculine feel for me is his neck muscles! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

You can only get a glimpse of the neck through the scarf, but those muscles look so perfect!! They’re not huge or anything, but they are sticking out just enough to notice them!

The first time you look at him the expression and pose can make you think of him a bit too high on the cute scale…

But once you look at him in detail you can really tell he has been carefully sculpted as a male character!! A sword boy!!

Speaking of details… take a look at the tufty accessory on his front, or crests on his hands or the lacquered appearance of his chest armor…

Or the woven, thick appearance of his Japanese sandals…

Even the smallest accessories and details are so intricately sculpted!

As usual, the details on the sword itself – the scabbard, guard and grip are all amazing to look at as well! ♥︎

Plus looking from this angle you can see up his sleeve – the layer of clothing beneath the haori has also been sculpted! This kind of angle was never seen on the original illustration, showing you just one of the many new discoveries you can have when you change from a 2D illustration into a figure!!  (´□｀｡)

The long arm covers that also cover up most of his hand even include the rings that go around his thumb and middle fingers! ♪


△ The kanji on his back reads ‘Truth’.

Be sure to add him to your collection and enjoy his charm whenever you like!

The 1/8th Scale…

Yamatonokami Yasusada

He is up for preorder as of today!!

You can see more details over on the special site here:
⇒ 1/8th Scale Figure Yamatonokami Yasusada Special Site

As with the previous Touken Ranbu scale figures, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Yamatonokami Yasusada Sword Charm as a bonus!

Uzuki Shimamura: Crystal Night Party Ver.: A Talk With the Sculptor and Painter

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My eyes… my eyes!!! My allergies are really acting up today… (/ω＼)

Anyway, today I’m going to be speaking to the sculptor and and painter of Uzuki Shimamura: Crystal Night Party Ver.! – Kai Sasaki (Shashaki) and Ekoshi!

△ Shashaki (right) and Ekoshi (left)  with their work of art!
– Your Favorite Point –

Shashaki: I sculpted this figure knowing that she would be in the center of the three New Generation girls. I really wanted to bring out that feeling of what it means to be an idol!

Ekoshi: I was told to make her look ‘sparkling’, when I started my paintwork!

(・∀・) This “sparkling” look was also mentioned by the expression painter! It must have really become a theme for the figure!

“Even the pose for the figure was thought up here in the GSC Offices. We had a rough illustration of the three of them together in the final pose, and as soon as I saw that illustration I knew I had to make Uzuki look great as the centrepiece to the set.” 

(・∀・) “They will surely all look great as single figures, but the design really caters to those who want to display them as a set!”

“Another point that I really like is the fact that there is a nice difference between the previously released Shimamura Uzuki: New Generation Ver.!”


△ Shimamura Uzuki: New Generation Ver. (Sculpted by GSC’s Manabu Katou!)

“The previous Uzuki figure was based on one of the card illustrations from the game, and it has a very 2D-based appearance because of this. This is by no means a bad thing and certainly has its own charms, but this time around I wanted to bring out her cuteness in a different way, and went for a slightly more realistic sculpt.“

(・∀・) “The fabric of her outfit around the chest and gloves that is being moved by her pose has been sculpted with such high levels of detail!”

“I actually went out and bought similar gloves and put them on myself to see exactly how they looked! For science!!”

(・∀・) “Seen the pose was made by GSC, that means that there was no original illustration to work with… it must have been quite a test for your both your creativity and sculpting ability!”

“I was working on this while the anime was airing on TV, and I remember shedding a couple of tears for Uzuki while I cheered her on… she was always so adorable in the opening theme! My sculpt just kept remembering that cuteness, and aiming to get the figure just as cute!”

“I also often thought of the opening theme when working on the paintwork. That sparkling outfit with the light blue of the skirt and blue lines that lay along her outfit were really the points that really stood out to me.”

(・∀・) “Ah… the blues on the outfit are really lovely!”

“In order to get the blues to stand out against the white, I had to layer the colors in a slightly different way to normal! But I think the colors came out really nicely in the end! The flowing accessory on her back makes use of pearl paint as well as a half-glossy white that gives a really bright appearance that suits her so well!”

– Other Highlights –

“For me, her hair is easily one of the biggest highlights!! The twirling ends of her hair are so twisty… and even this is after a couple of changes that made them a little bit more straight!” 

“When painting the figure, the prototype is first duplicated with multiple casts… the hair alone was made of of 14 different parts to paint, which is quite unbelievable. But I felt the passion of Shashaki’s sculpting and did my best to match his passion for the paintwork!!”

“The hair was also the area that went though the most changes since the unpainted prototype was revealed, I said earlier I was aiming for a more realistic sculpt, and that included the details and flow of the hair! It was very difficult to decide just how much each strand should twist, or where to straighten out a bit more a better appearance… I spent a lot more time than you’d imagine working on the hair!”

(・∀・) “No matter what angle you choose to look from, the hair always makes for such a nice accent to the overall figure!”

– What Area worked on by the Other Did You Like Best? –

“I love the way the gloves have been painted, as well as the white hem of the skirt. I really tried to give the gloves a texture through the sculpt, but it was only after it was painted that the texture really came out nicely. The white part on the skirt was actually a little more of a creamy white before some changes went though…” 

“That’s right! At first it was more of a yellow color, but while we were taking a look at it within GSC it was agreed that it would look better as a straight-up white! As soon as I went with the white instead I instantly knew that was the right choice. As I mentioned before, we then added in more gloss and pearl paint in order to get closer to that ideal shininess!!”

(・∀・) “What did you like most about the sculpt, Ekoshi?”

“The layers of the skirt and the hair really stand out… but I’d have to say the way her knee-highs are squeezing her skin is my best!!”

“Originally the thighs were a little larger than they are now… but after some discussion it was decided they needed to be thinned down a bit to be closer to the character designs.”

“The way her hips are slightly turned is also a really lovely touch! Plus she looks amazing from the back!! You can just imagine being the producer and watching your idol from backstage when you look at her from the back!!“

(・∀・) “I also love the way she looks from the back with her outfit trailing out behind her! You can also pose her with her gaze to the side and pretend to be looking up to her on stage as a fan instead! ♡”

“Depending on the angle you look from the face can have quite a different impression! I hope that fans enjoy her from all sorts of different angles if they decide to pick her up!”

★ Kai Sasaki (Shashaki)’s Desk!★

△ Some of the items he has worked on include Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Bell Ver., Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika  and Nendoroid Galko!

Hi everyone, this is Ayaka Ohashi, the voice actress for Uzuki Shimamura!
I can’t tell you how excited I am for this Uzuki Shimamura: Crystal Party Ver.!!!

I had the pleasure of seeing the figure for myself… the creases on the gloves, the flow of the outfit, her adorable smile, cute posing, fluffy hair and impressive skirt all come together in lovely detail to create such an amazing figure.
