Hatsune Miku: Orange Blossom Ver.

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

Hatsune Miku: Orange Blossom Ver.!

From SEGA’s rhythm game ‘Hatsune Miku -Project Diva- F 2nd’ comes a 1/7th scale of Hatsune Miku dressed in the Orange Blossom module! The unique look of the bright orange and blue outfit has been completely recreated with the use of pearl paints.

The figure is sculpted by Grizzry Panda known for sculptwork with a keen edge, which suits the futuristic design of the Orange Blossom outfit perfectly. Add the unique Miku to your collection and enjoy every detail of the work of art whenever you please!

Hatsune Miku in her futuristic Orange Blossom outfit!

The Orange Blossom outfit, or ‘module’ as it is known in the Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- F 2nd game has been transformed into a lovely 1/7th scale figure! The contrast between Miku’s soft looking skin and the semi-futuristic kind of mecha appearance of her outfit contrast so nicely and have all been sculpted beautifully! Not to mention the pearl paintwork on the outfit which makes it look just like it did in the game!! ♪

The posing is also so very cute and matches the outfit nicely, creating a figure filled with Miku charm for fans to add to their collections! 

Let’s see how she looks from the back! (。・ω・)ノ゙

The fluttering appearance of the ribbons together with the gradient paintwork on them looks amazing from the back! Miku’s spine and shoulder blades are also a treat for the eyes, and all those creases along her outfit really make it look like actual clothes… the amount of detail is simply outstanding ♡

Her hair makes use of translucent parts on the end giving it a very light and transparent appearance that matches with the somewhat futuristic design!

Let’s take a closer look at her outfit!

The shining appearance comes from the fact that the outfit is painted with a pearl paint!

The fluttering appearance of the skirt as well as all the intricate ups and downs of the frills have all been carefully painted… I really wish everyone could see the figure in person!! You really need to experience this with your own two eyes!! The pearly paintwork really makes the details of Grizzry Panda’s sculpt stand out wonderfully!  (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

If we take a closer look at her hand…

The texture of the glove’s material is clearly there, and even stretched out to the point that you can just make out some of her skin color!

Her expression is a innocent and playful smile! (●´ω`●)

The cute open mouth is actually carved out ever so slightly as a part of the sculpt, making it look slightly different depending on the angle you choose to look from! ♪

Plus those curves from her armpits to her upper arm… they are perfect to say the least!!

Although the thighs sticking out from her frilly skirt are also not to be missed!!

△ The details from this angle are amazing!

Be sure to enjoy her stunning sculpt and paintwork once she joins your collection!! っε=(。・д・。)

Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

In the past I always considered cheese cake to be my favorite cake, but recently I think short cake has taken its place! Simple is best! ★

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

Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima!

From the popular anime series and manga ‘Haikyu!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Team’s ‘Clever Blocker ‘ – Kei Tsukishima! He comes with three expression parts including a standard face, a serious face as well as a condescending smirk.

He also comes a variety of optional parts that allow you to recreate popular scenes from the series, as well as a volleyball and a base made in the image of a volleyball court. Headphones as well as his sports glasses are also included as optional parts. Enjoy the clever Tsukki in various different situations from the series!

“…it’s just a club activity.”

The Karasuno High School Volleyball Team’s ‘Clever Blocker ‘ with a rather sharp tongue, Kei Tsukishima is joining the Nendoroids! ♪

That confident look on his face captures his personality so perfectly! The slightly downward glance only adds to the effect! His soft looking hair has also been transformed into Nendoroid size looking as cute as ever! (/ω\)

He is the 8th Nendoroid from the series!★ 

△ Released January 2015

 

△ Released May 2015

△ Released February 2016

Nendoroid Tobio: Jersey Ver.

△ Released February 2016

Nendoroid Toru Oikawa

△ Released January 2016

Nendoroid Yu Nishinoya

△ Scheduled to Release in May 2016

Nendoroid Kenma Kozume

△ Scheduled to Release in July 2016

This time there is an all new pose never seen in the Haikyu! Nendoroid series before! (`・ω・´)ゞ

Rushing forward with a serious expression…

and then… 

BLOCK!! ฅ(◦`꒳´◦)ฅ

He makes it look so easy!!

Note that the net parts above are not included with Kei! They are included with Nendoroid Shoyo Hinata and Nendoroid Tobio Kageyama!

The parts above used for the blocking pose can also be used quite effectively to hold things! It’s actually quite adorable to make him hold life-size items! (*゚ー゚*)

△ As long as it’s quite light and you can balance it, he can hold various things!

Plus, he also comes with another optional part that matches his serious expression rather well! (。・д・。)

The Sports Glasses he received from his older brother, Akiteru Tsukishima!

I really enjoyed the story between the Tsukishima brothers, so it’s nice to have a part to tie them together! Finally, let’s take a look at his third and final expression…

“Running away? I thought you were the ‘King of the Court’?”

A condescending smirk! (´□`。)

That look on his face really captures him so perfectly – it’s a perfect Nendoroid rendition of the scene!! Plus if you look close you’ll see he also comes with headphone parts to display over his neck!

Plus if you change the angle it can also be used as if he is looking upward at you, allowing you to look down on your very own Kei whenever you want!

When you’re feeling tried while studying or at work and think you deserve a little rest, just meet his eyes and you are sure to get some energy to continue on! (It worked for me, at least!)

Obviously the glasses can be removed to switch between standard and sports glasses! ♪

Simply pick the pair you prefer! (●´ω`●)

By the way, he has a similar build to Nendoroid Tobio Kageyama, with a slightly taller stature than other characters!


△ Displayed with the Koedarize version of himself! ♪

Be sure to enjoy him together with all the other characters and recreate the Haikyu! world in Nendoroid size! ( ・ㅂ・)و ̑̑ グッ !

Add the “Clever Blocker” to your collection!

Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima!

He is up for preorder from today!!

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Kei Tsukishima – The Fearless Clever Blocker Ver. as a bonus!

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

Nendoroid Galko

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to taking a look at…

Nendoroid Galko!

From the ULTRA SUPER ANIME TIME anime ‘Galko-chan’ comes a Nendoroid of Galko-chan herself! Galko-chan’s unique physique has been transformed into Nendoroid size, but is just as impressive as ever! She comes with three expressions including a smiling face, a yawning face and an embarrassed face allowing you to create all sorts of scenes for the expressive Galko-chan!

Optional parts include her school bag, a book as well as text parts that read ‘Gyarurun’ to display beside her. The inner cardboard sheet of the packaging features a special background allowing you to recreate the popular scene from the anime series.

Gyarurun!!♪ ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

The flashy blond ‘gal’, that is actually very caring, open-hearted and popular in her class – Galko-chan is joining the Nendoroid series!! ♡

Her impressive body’s curves have all been preserved in Nendoroid size!

The loose collar, large bosom with a cute red ribbon and her moe fang all look great! ♥︎

Her long, flowing blond hair has also been sculpted in lovely detail and the paintwork preserves the slight gradient very nicely! The light blue scrunchy in her hair and even the little curl from that strand of hair has even been included in the sculpt! (●´ω`●)

△ You get a good feeling for the volume of her hair from the back!

Plus, the packaging has an inner-cardboard shape with this printed on it!

△  Fans of the series might recognise the heart and star background!

Those interested in these inner cardboard prints, be sure to read the blog about them by Suwabe over on the GSC Lab Blog! Only available in Japanese though!

If you pose her with this background and the included ‘Gyaruru’ Character parts, you can recreate the scene from the opening!! ★ 


△ Mitame de~♪ Handanshina~i! ♪
(Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!!)

She’s so cute!! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

If you take a closer look at the parts, you’ll also notice they are actually sculpted parts! Not just printed!

△ A tiny work of art! =͟͟͞͞(๑•̀д•́๑=͟͟͞͞(๑•̀д•́๑=͟͟͞͞(๑•̀д•́๑)

She also comes with a Yawning Expression!

The languid look on her face is perfect! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

And last but not least, she also comes with this expression…

An embarrassed expression! ♥︎

The expression also has a bit of a surprised element to it! Girls that give cute expressions like this after being teased are just asking to be teased again!!

Plus she also comes with this book as an optional part that works together with the expression perfectly – just what has the innocent Galko-chan laid eyes on?!

Be sure to add the pure-hearted blond to your collection!

Nendoroid Galko!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 25th March! (●´ω`●)

Nendoroid Co-de: Hatsune Miku – Ha2ne Miku Co-de

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I tweeted that it was Monday this morning on Twitter…
long weekends always trick me like that!! (˚ ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )

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

Nendoroid Co-de: Hatsune Miku – Ha2ne Miku Co-de!♥︎

Hatsune Miku is joining the ‘Nendoroid Co-de’ brand of figures! She has been sculpted wearing the ‘Ha2ne Miku’ module that was seen in SEGA feat. HATSUNE MIKU Project’s ‘Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA-‘ promotional video! ♪

Various other modules from the series are also in production, so look forward to coordinating your very own outfits for Miku!

From the popular Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- game comes a Nendoroid Co-de of Miku-san in a rather simple but classic module that really brings out her cuteness – the Ha2ne Miku Module!

A very relaxed color scheme with an outfit that looks a but like a school uniform. As always her twin tails look fantastic, and the pink hair accessories and headset are beautifully detailed! ♪

Even shrunk down to Nendoroid size, the short neck tie, collar and even the shiny silver microphone in her hand have all been carefully sculpted and painted! (´□`。)

The twin tails are not stuck in place, so you can move them to the sides for various different nuances! ♪

△ She is posed with one foot forward, inviting her fans toward her!! (/ω\)

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 and with the ability to dress-up in various ways! Great fun for both young and old fans! 

For more information, be sure to check out the…

Nendoroid Co-de Special Site!

Here you can find out more about the Nendoroid Co-de series as well as test out some of the possible outfit combinations that will come from the first three characters, as well as see the current line-up! 

* The Nendoroid Co-de website above is scheduled to be redesigned to match the new series being added! 

Miku’s outfit is of course compatible with the previous characters in the Nendoroid Co-de series!

Co-de Change with Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de ♪

Laala normally has pastel colored outfits, making her look rather strange in Miku’s outfit! She suddenly looks more professional!! On the other hand we have Miku looking adorable in her sweet and colorful idol outfit! (●´ω`●)

Be sure to coordinate your own cute outfits!! ☆

The first of many Project DIVA modules to be joining the Nendoroid Co-de series!

figFIX Sakura Kinomoto: Battle Costume ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I really wanted to try the cherry blossom frappuccino from a certain coffee shop… how can it already be finished?! Spring hasn’t even started yet!! _(:3 」∠)_

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a product up for preorder…

figFIX Sakura Kinomoto:
Battle Costume ver.!

Sakura Kinomoto from the classic series ‘Card Captor Sakura’ is joining the figFIX series of figma-sized statue figures! She has been sculpted wearing the popular outfit from the Watery battle! Be sure to enjoy her together with the previously released figma Sakura Kinomoto, figma Sakura Kinomoto: School Uniform ver. and upcoming figma Tomoyo Daidouji!

“Return to your true form! Clow Card!!”

Sakura Kinomoto is back once again, this time as a figFIX wearing her memorable outfit from the Watery battle!! Her big hat split into two long halves as well as the translucent skirt all converted into figure form perfectly! ♪

Product Page: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5521/

The little yellow balls on the end of her hat and skirt give such a nice fairytale atmosphere! The color scheme of light blues and yellow is also so very cute!! This is definitely one of the battle costumes that always stuck in my memories of Sakura-chan!!

This is how she looks from the back! ε=(。・д・。)

The way the extends outward is a bit like an umbrella, giving the figure more volume that you might expect, particularly when combined with the rather large hat! Even from the back there are so many different highlights to look at! ♡

The Watery Clow Card is one of the four elemental cards, and thus one of the most powerful. If I remember correctly she figured out how to beat it when out for some shaved ice with Yukito-san! Ah I feel like watching the series all over again now!!

If you take a close look at the area around her neck you’ll notice that the top area actually has multiple layers – the light blue leotard has a transparent coating! Such amazing detail and sculptwork for a figma-sized figure! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Looking at the translucent skirt parts from a high angle like this shows they are also very carefully sculpted! I love the sleeve holes too!

Let’s have a quick recap about the figFIX series!

A series of collectible figures created as a spin-off to the figma series!

The figFIX series of figures is the same size as figmas (around 1/12th scale) so they can easily be displayed together, but they are fixed in a specific and well-known pose of each character, allowing for a more faithful representation as well as a reasonable price! The series allows the skilled craftsmen of Max Factory to put their skills to work on more delicate sculpting and paintwork for fans to enjoy! The head part of figFIX figures make use of the same joint as the figma series, allowing for some interesting display possibilities for fans to play around with as well!

figfix_02_en

figFIX Special Page:
⇒ http://www.goodsmile.info/en/figFIX

In other words…
A figma-sized scale figure with a posable head

Another thing to remember is that the expression parts can be used with figma figures as well, which means that you can use the figFIX’s expression part on the figma for a new selection of posing possibilities!

But anyway, let’s get back to Sakura-chan!!

As mentioned above, the head is exchangeable with other figma expressions for a variety of different possibilities, and also has a joint for slightly different nuances! (`・ω・´)ゞ

Plus, she is not alone!!


Kero-chan is also included!! (´□`。)

He comes with a special base that allows you to pose him flying about around Sakura-chan – or anywhere else! He also comes with a jointed neck that can move to the left and right for slightly different poses! ☆


△ His little wings and tail are very cute!

All of Sakura-chan’s cuteness shrunk down into a 120mm high figure! ♥︎
Enjoy recreating the Watery battle right by your side! (。・ω・)ノ゙

figFIX Sakura Kinomoto:
Battle Costume ver.

She is up for preorder now! ♥︎

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a winking expression as a bonus!! ♪

△ You can also use this expression on the figmas!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 30th March at 21:00JST!! Don’t miss out!! (σ・∀・)σ ⇒ http://goodsmileshop.com/en/p/MAX_FIX_WD_00008/

figma Shizuo Heiwajima

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

It’s rather nice and warm today! Weather like this makes me want to take a walk along the Kanda river and enjoy the sun!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the ORANGE ROUGE item…

figma Shizuo Heiwajima!

From the anime series Durarara!! x2 comes a figma of Ikebukuro’s strongest man, Shizuo Heiwajima!

    · Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
    · A flexible plastic is used for important areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
    · He comes with three different expressions including a blank expression, a grinning expression and an angry expression.
    · Alternate hair parts without sunglasses, a cellphone and parts to display him with hands in his pockets are included.
    · A traffic sign part is included to recreate the over-the-top battle scenes from the series.
    · An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

The strongest man in Ikebukuro is joining the figma series!    

The classy bartender clothes and sunglasses recreate the unique look of the man that is not to be messed with – Shizuo Heiwajima! His rather slender appearance and rather simple expression make you realize just how much his personality changes when showing off his more angry side!

He with the sunglasses, hand parts holding a cigarette and his orange cellphone! (/ω\)

△ The hand holding the cigarette is included for both the left and right hands! ♪

You can also choose to display him without the sunglasses! 

It gives you a better look at his Shizu-chan’s cool and calm eyes! (´□`。)

△ He also comes with a signpost to wield in his battles!

Shizu-chan stands around 155mm in height, which is rather tall for a figma!

△ Displayed with an iPhone6 for size comparison! ♪

It’s always fun to compare the heights of characters in the figma series! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Shizu-chan also comes with a grinning expression and an angry expression, but unfortunately they were already sent off to the factory for production when I started to write this blog!! You can see the poses you can make with them over on the official product page –  posed angrily jumping to punch his opponent or smiling with a bit of a teasing grin!

You can see these and more over on the product page! (●´ω`●)

Add Ikebukuro’s strongest to your collection!

figma Shizuo Heiwajima!

He is currently up for preorder!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are open from the 30th March at 21:00JST!! Don’t miss out! っ(。・ω・)ノ゙

IS Bunny Girl Project!

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at FREEing’s…
IS <Infinite Stratos> Bunny Girl Project!

The cute heroines of IS <Infinite Stratos> all sculpted in 1/4th scale dressed up in sexy bunny girl outfits for fans to enjoy! (●´ω`●)

As usual, the net tights are made from real fabric for an authentic appearance!

Each of the girls also has their personal IS in standby mode somewhere on their designs! ♪

The bunny girl outfits give each of the girls a slightly sexy design while still keeping their character and personality within the design! Each of the poses is also rather different – and they are slowly but surely being announced for preorder as of a few weeks ago! The first of which was…

Charlotte Dunois: Bunny Ver.

From the anime series ‘IS <Infinite Stratos>’ comes a 1/4th scale figure of the IS Representative Candidate of France, Charlotte Dunois dressed up in a bunny girl outfit! She is posed with a slightly bashful smile on her face with a sexy white bunny outfit.

The net stockings make use of real material for an authentic appearance and texture on the figure. The other heroines in the series are also planned to join the series at a later stage, allowing you to display them altogether to bring out the Infinite Stratos universe in your collection! Be sure to add the new IS bunny girl series to your collection!

Currently up for preorder!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 16th March 2016 at 21:00JST! (/ω\)

⇒ http://goodsmileshop.com/en/p/FRE_SCA_WD_00105

Laura Bodewig: Bunny Ver. 2nd

From the anime series ‘IS <Infinite Stratos>’ comes a 1/4th scale figure of the IS Representative Candidate of Germany, Laura Bodewig dressed up in a bunny girl outfit! Her bunny outfit is a sexy black one ideal for the commander of ‘The Black Hare Squad’!

The net stockings make use of real material for an authentic appearance and texture on the figure. The other heroines in the series are also planned to join the series at a later stage, allowing you to display them altogether to bring out the Infinite Stratos universe in your collection! Be sure to add the new IS bunny girl series to your collection!

Also up for preorder! ♥︎

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 30th March 2016 at 21:00JST! (/ω\)

The previous version of Laura in a bunny girl outfit was this one! ☆

Laura Bodewig: Bunny Ver.

That embarrassed look on her expression was has been kept with the new figure! Plus the other characters are also on their way!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Houki Shinonono: Bunny Ver.

Holding some expensive looking champagne with a classic tsundere look on her face! The open mouth makes her look so cute! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Cecilia Alcott: Bunny Ver. 2nd

The twirling appearance of her hair has been beautifully sculpted! The impressive volume of her bosom as well as her gentle eyes also look amazing! (*´Д`)=з

For those wondering, the previous ‘1st’ version of the figure was this one! ♪

Cecilia Alcott: Bunny Ver.

Looking from the side gives you an even better feel for the impressive size…

Lingyin Huang: Bunny Ver. 

The twintails fluttering around her as she lifts her hand in an energetic pose that really captures Rin-chan’s personality!

The sculpt of the area from her armpit down to her chest has such lovely curves! I can’t help but want to run my finger along them!! ♡

Tatenashi Sarashiki: Bunny Ver. & Kanzashi Sarashiki: Bunny Ver.

Both of the Sarashiki sisters dressed up in bunny outfits!! The difference in their personalities comes out so effectively through their poses! Even the way the bunny ears are flopping over is different between them! (*´Д`)=з

Just look at this view of all of them together…!

Be sure to keep your eyes on FREEing’s Official Site and the Good Smile Company Website for more details of when preorders open for them! (σ・∀・)σ

Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal Highlights

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I was expecting to have warm and cheerful Spring weather by now, but I am instead shivering in my boots! Where did this sudden cold weather come from?! Everyone take care not to catch a cold!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at some of the more detailed points of this set I looked at last week!

Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal!

A brand new series of Vocaloid characters is joining the cute articulated ‘Nendoroid Petite’ trading figure series – Hatsune Miku Renewal! The set includes six different characters all dressed up in the outfits of their most recent versions – including Hatsune Miku V3, Kagamine Rin V4X, Kagamine Len V4X, Megurine Luka V4X, MEIKO V3, KAITO V3.

In addition there is also one secret character that fans are sure to love! Enjoy the brand new, highly detailed and absolutely adorable figures of Miku and friends in your collection! ♪

I’ll be having a chat with the set’s head planner, Hamako!

△ Hamako joined the GSC planning team at the same time as me!

(・∀・): “I’m happy to be on the blog again!”

As you can see, her desk is filled with a variety of Hatsune Miku items… why don’t you give us a quick introduction seen you haven’t been on the blog for awhile now!

(・∀・): “My name is Hamako, a member of the GSC Planning Team! I am the head planner for Miku-related products as well as LoveLive products and more! Recently I’ve also been involved in the planning for Orange Rouge products such as the Osomatsu-san and Cute High Earth Defense Club Love! figures!” 

△ Hamako is involved in a huge variety of products! ♪

(・∀・): “My most recent product is of course these adorable Hatsune Miku Renewal Nendoroid Petites!”

Alright then, let’s take a closer look at what makes them so special! (。・ω・)ノ゙

– Expressions –

(・∀・): ” This time the figures are based on the V3 and V4X package illustrations which were done by iXima! The unique almost see-through touch of the drawing style has been carefully preserved on the expressions, and we really did our best to keep the lovely gradients in their eyes!”

They have slightly more mature expressions compared to their older counterparts! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

(・∀・): “Yep! MEIKO and Luka in particular have a much sexier look than before!”

The two of them look really nice together! I notice that MEIKO’s microphone can also be removed from her hand for a slightly different feel – it looks a bit like the two of them are sharing the one microphone now! (`・ω・´)ゞ

– Sculpting –

(・∀・): “This is the third Nendoroid Petite VOCALOID set, following on from the previously released Nendoroid Petite:Vocaloid #01 and Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Selection. As always the overall sculpt is completely new, creating a very different feel for each character – they look a lot sharper than before!”

Nendoroid Petites normally have a fairly rounded appearance, but the edges of these outfits and hairstyles are so neat and precise!

(・∀・): The hair and outfits have also been sculpted to match with the movement of their poses, bringing each of the characters to life more! ☆

KAITO in particular has such a dynamic feel to him with the coat and scarf fluttering around him! ε=(。・д・。)

– Preorder Bonus –

(・∀・): “This time around, preorders of a complete BOX will include a pair of wing parts for Nendoroid Petites!”

This means that you can really display Miku by your side as the angel that she is!!

As if she wasn’t angelic enough all by herself, the wings make her look even more adorable! Of course you can also choose to use them on any other character as well! (●´ω`●)

(・∀・): “The wings simply attach to the normal Nendoroid Petite stand, so you can try them on any of your favorite characters!”

And there we have the three highlight points from the figure’s planner! Thanks for your time, Hamako!!

Even though the characters are so small, the amount of details and personality that is placed into them is absolutely incredible!! ♥︎ Who do you like the best, Hamako? Miku-san?

(・∀・): “I love them all, but I actually think Rin-chan is my favorite this time around! I really love her new outfit – the ribbon on her chest, the white shorts and the overall cheerful but mature look of her is lovely!”

△ They really are the perfect size to fit in the palm of your hand!

Let’s take a second to summarize! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal set will be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

You can see more photos over at my previous blog here:
⇒ Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal

In addition, preorders of a complete BOX of figures will also comes with a single pair of angel wings that can be used with Nendoroid Petites! ♡

△ Quick and easy to attach to the character of your choice!

Only one pair is included with the BOX preorder, so you’ll have to pick just one character to become an angel by your side!

More details will be up on the GSC Website tomorrow!!

Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My body has become rather confused by the sudden jump in temperatures! What kind of clothes am I supposed to wear?!

Anyway, today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal!

A brand new series of Vocaloid characters is joining the cute articulated ‘Nendoroid Petite’ trading figure series – Hatsune Miku Renewal! The set includes six different characters all dressed up in the outfits of their most recent versions – including Hatsune Miku V3, Kagamine Rin V4X, Kagamine Len V4X, Megurine Luka V4X, MEIKO V3, KAITO V3.

In addition there is also one secret character that fans are sure to love! Enjoy the brand new, highly detailed and absolutely adorable figures of Miku and friends in your collection! ♪

Miku and friends are back again with all new outfits!♪

These lovely new renditions of the Vocaloids were first shown at the last WonFes! They are completely new sculpts all based on the more recent releases of the VOCALOID software, and they’re going to be going up for preorder soon! ♡

Each of the characters are based on their poses from the most recent package illustrations, but even the back has been carefully sculpted!

Each of the poses captures a lovely dynamic scene for each of the characters! (σ・∀・)σ

I get the feeling that they all look a little more matured when compared to the Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Selection released back in September 2013!

These two in particular definitely have a very mature vibe to them!

But perhaps the most important change with the ‘Renewal’ set is the new outfits!!

Even though they each stand just 65cm in height, the details and textures of their outfits are absolutely stunning! Look at the glossy effects on these two for instance! Kagamine Rin and Len V4X was only released last December, making this an incredibly speedy transformation into a figure as well! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Let’s take a closer look at them one-by-one!

◆ Hatsune Miku V3 ◆

The twin-tails have an all new twist to them that gives her a nice fresh appearance – they are also of course attached with ball joints allowing for some different nuances in posing! The glossy effect on her arm covers recreates the translucent appearance of the design!

◇ Kagamine Rin V4X ◇

I love the shape of the ribbon on her chest! Not to mention the area of bare skin between her top and shorts – even her belly button has been sculpted onto the tiny little figure! Her cheeks also look so puffy and cute! (/ω\)

◆ Kagamine Len V4X ◆

Len’s characteristic spiky hair and cute but classy expression!! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡
He really knows how to look good, even in figure form!!

◇ Megurine Luka V4X ◇

Luka’s V4X outfit has a rather sexy feel to it, and her expression has a lovely warm smile! The long skirt wavering around her has also been sculpted beautifully! (*゚ー゚*) 

◆ MEIKO V3 ◆

MEIKO is sculpted with a confident smile on her face as she grabs the microphone in one hand! The fluttering skirt and cute short cut hair both add a bit of movement to the figure, giving her a nice dynamic appearance! (。・ω・)ノ゙

◇ KAITO V3 ◇

The more mature KAITO-nii-san has a lovely smile on his face, ready to capture the hearts of everyone who looks his way! His pose has slightly twisted hips and his scarf fluttering to his side! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

They each look amazing by themselves, but they look even cuter when displayed together!

△ I can just imagine their duets playing in my mind!

Be sure to take a nice close look once they’ve been released!

Add the all new Miku and friends to your collection!

Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal

They will be up for preorder from the 15th March 2016!

Plus, preorders of a complete box set will also include this Wing Parts for Nendoroid Petites (1 Pair) as a bonus!! ♡

△ The wings connect onto the Nendoroid Petite stands!

One box comes with a single pair of wings, so you will have to decide which character is best suited to become your angel!

△ Rin-chan was an angel even before she had the wings! (੭ ˃ ω˂ )੭ु⁾⁾

Plus there is also going to be one secret character!! (・ω・)/

Here is a sneak peek for those who read to the end of the blog!★

Hmm… who could it be?!

You’ll have to wait for release to find out!! ♪
