Osomatsu-san Trading Figures

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I like cream imagawayaki best! By the way, I’m a single child so I always had all the snacks and desserts to myself!

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

Osomatsu-san Trading Figures!

 

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a collection of trading figures featuring the six brothers of the Matsuno family! The line-up includes Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu and Todomatsu all wearing their hoodies as cute collectible figures! Each of their characteristics have been faithfully sculpted and their facial expressions and poses represent each of their personalities for fans to enjoy!

Oooooooohhh!

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a set of trading figures of the six Matsuno brothers! Each of them is wearing a hoodie of their respective colors and each has slight changes to their look to reflect their personalities!

This is how they look from the back! ٩( ‘ω’ )و

△ The hole for the stands are on their backs.

The rounded appearance of their heads is so cute! Note the slight difference in hairstyles as well! ❤

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

♣ Osomatsu ♣　♣　♣　♣　♣

What a lovely, cunning smile he has on his face! His easygoing and playful personality comes through very nicely!  ★

♣ Karamatsu ♣　♣　♣　♣　♣

The rolled-up sleeves of his hoodie have been faithfully included! Plus I can almost hear his voice while looking at that expression! He has a bit more of a dramatic pose making him look rather good! (/ω＼)

♣ Choromatsu ♣　♣　♣　♣　♣

Choromatsu with his mouth turned at the corners, small black eyes and low eyebrows! The white shirt beneath his hoodie has also been included!

♣ Ichimatsu ♣　♣　♣　♣　♣

A sideways glance and slouch! Plus the sandals to fully complete the Ichimatsu look! The slightly more messy hair has also been included on the sculpt! (‎ↀωↀ。)

♣ Jyushimatsu ♣　♣　♣　♣　♣

A lovely pure smile and sparkling eyes! The sleeves covering his hands and rather small sleeve holes have also been included on the design! (・∀・)

♣ Todomatsu ♣　♣　♣　♣　♣

Wearing his beanie for a slightly more trendy look compared to the others! The V-shaped mouth is also a very cute addition to the youngest brother! ♡

By the way, these are only around 35mm in height！

Nendoroid Petites are around 65mm, so these are about half the size! This is how they look held in my (rather small) hand!

They fit into my hand quite nicely!

Here is a size comparison with my iPhone6S! ♡

You can see they are a nice compact size, easy to carry around with you wherever you go!

Even though they are so small, you can easily tell them apart from the outfits, hairstyles and even the personalities that come from their expressions!

Plus as you may have noticed the heads are fitted with a joint that can move left and right allowing for slightly different nuances in your poses! It also means…

You can switch out the expressions between them like this!!

You can of course pose them alone, but personally  I think they look best posed facing each other! It makes them look like they’re in conversation with each other! ☆



△  I tried to match up the colors of the hoodies a bit!

I’ll be adding a few more two shots to my Twitter at a later stage too, be sure to take a look!

Display your favorite character alone, or all of them as a set!

Nendoroid Satori Komeiji

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I want to have a nabe party before it warms up too much! I also wouldn’t mind a takoyaki party, but I haven’t had one since I was a student! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Satori Komeiji

From the popular game series by Team Shanghai Alice, the ‘Touhou Project’ comes a Nendoroid of Satori Komeiji, the girl who can read the minds of others. She comes with three expressions including a standard expression, an expression with her eyes half-closed as well as an embarrassed expression.

Her pets Okuu and Orin are also both included, and she also comes with a red ransel backpack that she can wear on her back. Special hand parts are also included to create a joint pose with the previously announced Nendoroid Koishi Komeiji, so be sure to enjoy the Nendoroid Komeiji sisters together!

The girl who causes even the spirits to quiver in fear!

The rather feared young girl that can read the minds of others, Satori Komeiji is joining the Nendoroids!! Her third eye has been faithfully included together with the stringy appearance of the cords that swirl around her! ε=(｡・д・｡)

△ The ends of the cord are cute yellow heart shapes!

Her soft looking light purple hair has been sculpted with detail down to the tips!

The details of her outfit are included all around!

Her first expression part has one eye closed and another half closed as a bit of a hard-to-approach expression, while her second expression is a much more gentle looking expression with eyes half-closed! ★

The slightly open mouth makes her look so innocent and defenceless! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)


Plus, she also includes her two pets Orin and Okuu!! 

Let’s take a closer look at the two of them – Utsuho Reiuji (Okuu)  and Rin Kaenbyou (Orin)!

They both look so adorable!! (๑•̀ㅁ•́๑)✧

Orin’s neck is fitted with a joint allowing you to swivel her gaze a little!

△ Orin taking a look at Okuu as she plops down on my touch pad!

Anyway, moving onto Satori’s 3rd expression…

An embarrassed expression!

Complete with upset eyebrows and a downcast look! ♪

Plus an ever so slight blush to bring it altogether! She also comes with a ransel backpack part which matches with her pastel coloring very nicely! ♥︎

If you combine this expression with the pose from earlier…

She’s so cute!! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♥︎

The backpack itself may have been shrunk down to Nendoroid size, but it still has very nice detail to enjoy! ♪

It connects into the stand connector on on back!

The Nendoroid stand then connects into the bottom of the backpack to keep her nice and stable! (・∀・)

Plus, she also comes with special parts to display her in a joint pose together with Nendoroid Koishi Komeiji! Be sure to check the joint photo on the product page tomorrow! (♡ ᐛ )人( ᐛ ♡)◜

Enjoy the adorable Satori together with her pets!

Yuudachi Kai Ni

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m already starting to show signs of hay fever and the pollen levels aren’t even high yet! The daily battle against the pollen is set to begin soon!

But anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/8th scale…

Yuudachi Kai Ni!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the fourth Shiratsuyu Class Destroyer, Yuudachi Kai Ni! The figure has been designed to be displayed in combat with the previously released Shigure Kai Ni, and is based on an original illustration by kujouitiso specially drawn for the figure. The dynamic pose of the figure is made even more fascinating by the effect parts that swirl around her.

She holds torpedoes in one hand to show she is in mid-combat, yet the expression on her face captures her determined personality even in the heat of battle. The ship parts have also been intricately sculpted, and the turrets as well as the torpedo launchers on her legs are of course fitted with joints to add slightly different nuances when displaying her! The ship parts are also sculpted to look physically heavy to contrast against Yuudachi’s soft looking skin and create a figure that fans will be proud to gaze at for years to come!

“Right, let’s have ourselves a lovely party!”

A lovely scale figure of the fourth Shiratsuyu Class Destroyer, Yuudachi Kai Ni in battle mode! 

The two tufts of hair that look a bit like animal ears as well as the red eyes that make Yuudachi her ‘Kai Ni’ have all been faithfully included on the figure! The slight pink gradient of her hair has also been preserved! ♡

△ The feeling of movement brought on from the sculpt is also fantastic! (・∀・)

If we take a look at her from the back…

Most of Yuudachi is blocked by her huge ship parts!

Plus the torpedo launchers on her thighs as well as the gun barrels on the turrets feature articulated parts allowing for slightly different nuances when posing her!

The fiery effect parts that surround her show the intense battle she is in, creating a dynamic figure that really captures the atmosphere of the KanColle universe! The red hot flames are also of course a show that Yuudachi is the destroyer that boasts the highest firepower of them all! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾

△ The red flames coupled with her red eyes make
her seem to be burning with fighting spirit!

She is posed as if pulling down the white scarf down a bit with a bit of a grin on her face, as if she had just launched an attack of her own!

Plus if you look a little further down, you’ll also notice that the wind is blowing her skirt up quite a fair amount, making low angle shots for the blog quite difficult! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Moving a little higher up, her rather impressive bosom is beautifully sculpted with the rather tight outfit showing off her curves very nicely!! The lines formed by her bent arms and legs are also really nice! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

On the other hand, we also have the mechanical looking ship parts to contrast against her soft looking skin! Let’s take a closer look at those parts – notice that the ship parts feature glossy areas, half-glossy areas as well as flat areas to really recreate that ship-like appearance effectively! ♥︎

△ Even a little ladder is included on the funnel! ☆

Her shiny shoes and slightly transparent socks also look lovely!
Note the little antennae on the back! ♡₍₍ ◝(・ω・)◟ ⁾⁾♡

△ The ship parts also boast lovely gradient paintwork.

Another area on the ship parts that I adore…

The white sail billowing in the wind!

The sail itself couldn’t be completely seen in the original illustration, so we had to assume how this area looked in order for the sail to blow outward like this – it ended up with these three strings connected at the bottom!

Last but not least, there is also a red ship propeller on her back! Not to mention that each of the torpedoes in her hands also each have a little golden propeller on the end!

△ The comical expressions on the torpedoes are also a cute touch! (●´ω｀●)

So much to see on a single figure! Add the destroyer to your collection!

Yuudachi Kai Ni!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Plus, preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include an Original B2 Poster Illustrated by kujouitiso as a bonus! ♪

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Plus, this figure is designed to be displayed with the previously released Shigure Kai Ni! Be sure to display them together if you have previously picked her up! (●´ω｀●)

△ Display them as friends or as allies! Both look great! ♪

Plus… Shigure Kai Ni is also going to be rereleased!

For those that missed out on her last time, this is your chance to display the two of them together! Don’t miss out this time!

The rerelease will be up at the same time that Yuudachi Kai Ni goes up for preorder tomorrow! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

* The GSC Online Bonus is not included with the rerelease.

Saber/Souji Okita

Today’s Main Feature…! 

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at an item currently up for preorder…

Saber/Souji Okita!

A 1/7th scale figure of Sakura Saber – the character who originally appeared in ‘Koha-Ace’ serialized in KADOKAWA’s Comptiq magazine, and then went on to take part in a limited time event in Fate/Grand Order! She has been sculpted wearing the Coat of Oaths Noble Phantasm, showing her dressed just like her true name, Souji Okita! The figure is sculpted by Ken Kawanishi.

The characteristic blue-green coloring of the coat has been faithfully reproduced, and she holds her carefully detailed katana ‘Kiku-Ichimonji Norimune’ ready for combat, creating a figure that fans will be proud to own. Be sure to summon the confident solider of the Shinsengumi to your side!

Souji Okita, dressed in the Coat of Oaths.

Such a fearless and gallant appearance! A 1/7th scale figure of Sakura Saber in her ‘true’ form as Souji Okita!

While the figure is a rather simple pose, the feeling of movement of the wind blowing her coat and scarf creates a lovely dynamic element to the figure that is such a treat for the eyes! Plus while the clothes are blowing about in the wind the body looks rigid and ready for combat, creating a kind of tense element to the figure as well!

Let’s see how she looks from the back! ( ✧Д✧)!!

The creases in her outfit are perfect!

The flow of both the pale green haori coat as well as the white kimono she wears beneath it are sculpted so effectively that it’s almost hard to believe that they are not made from actual fabric! But while the clothes are amazing, let’s not let them take away from just how amazing the sculpting of Saber herself is!

Just look at the elegant fingers holding the sword! ♪

In her hands she is holding the sword ‘Kiku-Ichimonji Norimune’, but just look at the way her fingers curl around the sword, making her seem to be holding it with such nimble grace. The details of the grip and ornaments on the sword are also not to be missed! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Also take note of her lovely legs!

The curves of those soft white thighs as she stands on tip-toe…<○><○>

You can’t help but want to run your finger along them! At least I know I can’t! I can’t show it on the blog, but you can actually see even more of these lovely thighs from a lower angle!

Be sure to have a nice close look from all sorts of angles once she joins your collection! ₍₍ ◝(‘ω’◝) ⁾⁾ ₍₍ (◟’ω’)◟ ⁾⁾

Another thing that I have to mention is the detailed sculpting of her hair!

From the ribbon that ties up the hair down to each of the stands blowing in the wind… the sculpting matches with the entire figure very nicely!  (/ω＼)

Such beauty and grace for a combat pose, but her expression captures the tension of the combat! 

Such an imposing glare, showing strength though calm… 

Add the confident Shinsengumi soldier to your collection!

Saber/Souji Okita!

She is currently up for preorder!

Product Details: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5460/

Orders at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 24th February 2016 at 21:00JST! Don’t miss out!  ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Nendoroid En Yufuin

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I eat chocolates without even realizing what I’m doing! I know I should stop buy I also know my body will not let me! *nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

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

Nendoroid En Yufuin!

From the anime series ‘Cute High Earth Defense Club Love!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Binan High School 3rd year student En Yufuin in his transformed form – Battle Lover Cerulean! He comes with three expression parts including his standard expression, a smiling expression and a sighing expression!Optional parts include his ‘Love Stick’ wand to display him firing out splash attacks, as well as parts that allow you to place him in his post transformation pose! A special bath-time body part is also included which allows you to display him relaxing at the Kurotamayu bath house as well! Enjoy all sorts of fun scenes from the series!

Hirameki Prince, Battle Lover Cerulean!

The Binan High School 3rd year student who could do almost anything he puts his mind to but never really puts his mind to anything, En Yufuin is joining the Nendoroids! ♥︎

His unique hairstyle and lovely blue and white outfit have all been faithfully converted to Nendoroid size! 

Even the little ribbon at the top of his chest and the little accessories around it have been intricately sculpted!

From the back you also get a nice look at his light and wavy hair!! Not to mention the awesome tailcoat jacket!! (*´Д｀)=з

△ The gentle flow of his hair is so beautifully done! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Optional parts include his Love Stick allowing you to pose him as if firing out his splash attacks! He also comes with various different arm and leg parts allowing you to recreate other popular scenes from the series!

For example…

“All you who would defile this beloved Earth…”

You can display him in the pose just after his transformation scene! (●´ω｀●)

“…I shall teach you the power of love!”

It wouldn’t be right if he couldn’t take these poses!

The ‘Battle Lover’ pose is also available in Nendoroid size! Plus if you use the same pose but switch out to his standard expression… it’s like he lost all of his inspiration! 

△ The contrast between the heart hands and listless expression is lovely!

Plus he also comes with this third expression…

A sighing expression!

Perfect for someone who finds things troublesome all the time!

This pose really suits his personality nicely! But there is another rather special optional part that is also included…. (´□｀｡)

Bath-time Body & Yellow Bucket! ♥︎ 

These parts were even kept a secret during WonFes! ♪

Note that his chest muscles, belly button and collarbone have all been sculpted onto the design! Both arms are also fitted with joints for slightly different nuances!

△ A bit of an embarrassed look with the sighing expression!

Plus, take note of his left arm! ☆ 

This body even includes his bracelet!

You can even see the little heart shape! Even though it is so small it is very noticeable when he is hardly wearing anything else! ♪


△ The right arm is bent, so even a little movement can make quite a difference!

With multiple expression parts and an alternate body, there are so many different poses you can enjoy from the series! 

Make sure you don’t miss out!! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

Nendoroid En Yufuin

He will be up for preorder from tomorrow!
Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: En Yufuin as a bonus! Be sure to consider it when preordering! ★

Today I’m going to be bringing everyone some photos from the recent Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition Winter 2016!

 

What is the Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition?

The event is a special industry-only exhibition run by Good Smile Company which allows dealers and the media to get a close look at upcoming releases from various manufacturers. The event includes the most recent works of various different companies!

Just like last time, the event was held at the Akihabara UDX building!

Now that the company offices are also in Akihabara, it was nice and close for me to go and take photos! The amount of companies on display this time around was also a new record!! (・∀・)

With WonFes only just behind us, all the latest goodies from each company was on display – each and every item looked so amazing! The event also has distributors and wholesalers in attendance, making it a great place to create new business connections too! (*´Д｀)=з

This blog will be taking a look at the Good Smile Company Corner!

Guten Morgen！

Prinz’s lovely body as well as her sizeable ship parts transformed into a scale figure! I can’t wait to see this one painted! ♪

The way her hair is sculpted blowing to the side makes her seem like she is really out at sea! The details on her outfit, the ship parts and the sea planes are also all fantastic!

Saber Alter: huke Collaboration Package from Eight Different Angles

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m currently on a business trip in Taiwan! It’s so much warmer than Japan, it feels like Spring already! (●´ω｀●)

Anyway, today I’m going to show off more photos from this product that recently went up for preorder…

Saber Alter: huke Collaboration Package

Today I’ll be taking a look at her from eight different angles! ★

The famous illustration of Saber Alter by popular illustrator huke has been transformed into a 1/7th scale figure released together with a high quality replica print of the original illustration!

The intricate details of both her dress and rugged armor have been beautifully sculpted to create a lovely rendition of the illustration. Her pale skin contrasts with the various shades of black in her armor, creating a beautiful mix of colors that look amazing on display. In addition, fans of huke’s works get to enjoy the incredible illustration with a high quality replica print included with the figure. Be sure to add the ominous Saber Alter to your collection in her most detailed rendition yet!
Let’s take a look! ♪

…isn’t she magnificent?!

Each angle brings out a whole different set of amazing details to enjoy!

The jagged parts of the armor look so different depending on the angle you look from, and the contrast between the black, heavy looking armor and her frilly white dress is such a treat for the eyes! The difference between the amount of visible bare skin from the front and the back is also quite a nice highlight for me! I’m going to be taking a much closer look in a more detailed blog next week once I’m back in Japan!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Power and beauty together in a single figure!
