If you take a close look at each of the Touken Nendoroids, each character has been posed with a special role for Christmas! (*´∀`*)

All of the Aqours Nendoroids dressed up in the Santa outfits that were released earlier this year!! Even though the poses are quite limited with these parts, these photos successfully bring out each of the girl’s characters! You can really feel the love for Aquors in these photos!

I took a lot of photos with cats for the April Fools Joke earlier this year, but most of them were always running around and making it hard for me to photograph! It’s lovely to see a kitty together with a Nendoroid in a much more relaxed pose!! ★

A rather different photo to most of the others, but that’s what makes it so special! The use of little extra parts and the background to add that little extra Christmas feel are all lovely… and the way Miku is staring right at me is lovely!

A Christmas morning filled with all sorts of fun and gifts! The lighting and use of all sorts of little parts really brings the scene to life! ♪

Nendoroid Klaus V Reinherz (Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Klaus V Reinherz!

From the anime series Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond comes a Nendoroid of the leader of Libra and user of the Brain Grid Blood Battle Technique, Klaus V Reinherz! He comes with three face plates including a standard masculine expression, an intimidating combat expression as well as a calm expression for more gentle poses.

He comes with a knuckle guard and hand parts wearing gloves allowing you to easily pose him in combat scenes. Other optional parts include his business card, a donut and a brown paper bag. He also comes with a clear plate with text based on his character introduction which can be placed in front of him to capture the atmosphere from the series! Be sure to display him with the previously released Nendoroid Leonardo Watch and recreate your favorite scenes from the series!

“Onward!! Let’s start by saving the world!”

The third son of the Reinherz household and leader of the secret organization Libra, Klaus V Reinherz is joining the Nendoroid series!!

His iconic hairstyle and fangs have been shrunk down to Nendoroid size and both look so adorable!!! Plus, even though his build has been adjusted to suit the Nendoroid design, he still keeps that big and bulky look from the series!!

He also looks awesome from the back!

The cross-shaped knuckle guard that is needed  to pose Klaus in combat scenes has been faithfully included, and a gloved hand is also included to faithfully capture his fighting style!!

Just like the previously released Nendoroid Leonardo Watch, he also comes with a character introduction plate which can be placed in front of him like this to capture his introduction scene from the series!

Moving onto his 2nd face plate, we have a vigorous combat expression!

His strong will to protect his friends and the world is really captured in this expression!

His hips feature a ball joint allowing the hips to be displayed slightly forward or bent which allows for much more dynamic action scenes! ★

The open mouth of this face plate means you get a nice close look at his adorable teeth and fangs!!

Anyway, moving on to his third face plate we have a calmer expression for those more everyday scenes!! (*´꒳`*)

The sharp white eyes of this expression both capture Klaus perfectly and suit the Nendoroid design so nicely!! The mouth on this expression is also straighter on this face plate compared to his standard expression! ♡

In his hand, he holds his business card!! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

▲ With this he can introduce his “Secret Organization” whenever needed!

In addition, he also comes with a paper bag and donut, which is perfect for recreating a scene together with Nendoroid Leonardo Watch!☆

Most Nendoroids stand around 100mm in height, but Klaus has been adjusted to stand around 10mm in height to capture his height difference between the other characters!

You’ll notice that he also comes with non-transparent glasses which can be used with any of the face plates for a rather different look!

Here is the combat expression with the alternate glasses! (●‘∀‘●)

Be sure to try all sorts of different combinations once the adorable leader of Libra joins your collection!! ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑
Nendoroid Klaus V Reinherz!

He’ll be up for preorder from the 26th December!

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company Website for more details! ♪

In addition, purchases from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Klaus V Reinherz as a bonus! ☆

Be sure to consider it when preordering!!

 

Last but not least, we are also going to be rereleasing…
Nendoroid Leonard Watch!

Lancer/Jeanne d’Arc Alter Santa Lily Sneak Peek (Fate/Grand Order)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I have an early Christmas announcement for everyone!
Lancer/Jeanne d’Arc Alter Santa Lily!☆

From the popular smartphone game “Fate/Grand Order” comes a 1/7th scale figure of the lancer servant, Jeanne d’Arc Alter Santa Lily. The figure features an original sculpt made in the image of Jeanne sitting atop a chimney as a true Santa! A rather ominous doll of Gilles de Rais is also included to display beside her and bring out the atmosphere of the game even more!

The figure has been carefully tuned to ensure it retains all the details of the original character design as faithfully as possible with intricate sculptwork for a figure that fans will be proud to add to their collection! Be sure you don’t miss out on this adorable Santa!

“I’ll show you the way of a true Santa!”

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!★

Aoba: Gothic Ver. (DRAMAtical Murder)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Aoba: Gothic Ver.!★

From the popular PC game “DRAMAtical Murder” comes a scale figure of Aoba dressed in the Gothic outfit that featured in the Nitro+chiral Special Kuji! He is posed wearing a white coat featuring pearl paintwork for an elegant appearance as he stands with a charming smile on his face.

The feather accessories all over his design have been carefully included and made from translucent parts for a slightly transparent appearance that creates a high class appearance. His dog-type ALL-MATE Ren is also included in a similar outfit! Be sure to add this intricately sculpted masterpiece of Aoba to your collection!

A figure of Aoba in his magnificent “Gothic” outfit!

An item to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Max Factory as well as the 30th anniversary of Max Factory!! The figure is based on the Gothic outfit that featured in the Nitro+chiral Special Kuji originally illustrated by honyalala! The illustration looks absolutely fantastic transformed into figure form!! ★

All the charm from the original illustration has been captured in amazing detail, and all the details that were never even visible on the illustration have also been included!! Just look at the creases in his outfit, or the lovely flow of his hair!

The white coat he wears makes use of a pearl paint that gives a lovely glistening, elegant appearance that also brings out the texture of the outfit beautifully! ♪

▲ The creases in his boots, and the twist of his ankle!! (・∀・)!!

His hat features an intricate feather that makes use of a golden paint that brings out that princely appearance perfectly! ♥

The feathers also make use of semi-translucent parts to capture the appearance as faithfully as possible!

Take a closer look at his gloves and you’ll see the detail of each of his finger joints!!

▲You can also make out the “thickness” of his gloves thanks to the sculpt!

Another area that really stands out to me is… here!ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

All of the fasteners along his chest have been carefully detailed, and the difference in the amount of creases in the outfit has been carefully adjusted to have more toward the bottom to match those pose!

The fact that he is leaning against the knight piece with a more relaxed pose means there creases are all the more realistic!!

The amazing attention to detail on the figure is simply outstanding!!

As a side note, the figure stands approximately 250mm in height! The current base is provisional, but the final version will be something similar! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲Size comparison with an iPhone6!

Let’s take a look from a bit of a lower angle!!

Standing by Aoba’s side, we have…

His dog-type ALL-MATE Ren!

Ren is wearing a similar outfit to Aoba and looking lovely and regal by his side! His fluffy looking fur is just asking to be petted!!

▼His hair is lovely and detailed, the his hat and scarf also look great!▲

He also is not attached to the base, so you can even choose to display Ren all on his own somewhere else should you choose! ♪

There really is way too much to enjoy about this figure to introduce with just one blog, so I’m going to have to cut it short, but let me end with at least taking a closer look at his facial expression! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The gentlemanly smile on his face has such a cool and composed look to it, with a perfect curve for his lips that has been sculpted with thrilling accuracy!! Simply changing the angle you look from can provide a rather different feel to his expression!

My personal favorite is from this angle!

The downward glance just seems to suit his regal appearance so perfectly to me!!

As I mentioned, the gentle smile from above suddenly has a rather different, somewhat condescending look from this angle!

If we instead move slightly more to the left though, the feel behind the expression changes once again and seems to make him look a little younger!

You can see the expression allows for all sorts of different opportunities when posing, so be sure to find your favorite if you choose to pick him up!! (/ω＼)

Be sure to add this memorial item to your collection!
Aoba: Gothic Ver.!

He’ll be up for preorder from the 21st December!

Be sure to keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company Official Site for more details!

Nendoroid Abukuma Kai-II (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We’re reaching the end of the year, which means it is almost time for GSC to start the big end-of-year clean up around the offices. I can’t say I’m looking forward to it…

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Abukuma Kai-II!☆

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the upgraded version of the Nagara-class light cruiser, Abukuma Kai-II! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a half-damaged expression as well as a flustered expression. She comes with turret firing and torpedo effects, as well as a water skiing effect parts to display her maneuvering along the seas!

A miniature Daihatsu landing craft is included together with beach parts to display it on and a miniature Kouhyouteki submarine with water effect parts are also included allowing you to really bring out the KanColle world in your collection! The ship parts are also highly detailed, and the part attached to her arm can even slide out! Be sure to add the easy-to-use light cruiser to your fleet!

“Nendoroid Abukuma, ready to meet your expectations!”

The upgraded version of the sixth Nagara-class light cruiser, Abukuma Kai-II is joining the Nendoroid KanColle Fleet! The cute school uniform-esque outfit complete with a ribbon on her chest has been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size for Admirals around the world to enjoy in their collection!! ♪

Her characteristic hairstyle has also been shrunk into Nendoroid proportions, but looks just as adorable as ever! Note that the left and right sides are slightly different, just like in her illustration! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

In addition, the twintails are attached with a ball joint allowing them to be moved around to match various different poses!

Optional parts include a Kouhyouteki submarine with water effect parts  to display her sneaking up on the enemy!! ★

▲ Her standard expression is so cool and confident!! (・∀・)ｲｲ!!

Moving on to her second face plate, we have a pained expression based on her half-damaged expression!!

In addition, she also of course comes with the standard turret firing effect parts as well as torpedo firing effect parts allowing for amazing battle scenes!!!

But that’s not all!!

This time around we also decided to include water skiing effect parts which allow you to display her as if she was gliding along the ocean at high speeds!! ♪

Moving onto her third face plate…

“Everyone, follow my lead!!”

“Noooo!! I said follow MY lead!!”

A flustered expression made in the image of the above line!!! You can just imagine her cute voice looking at this face!!

In addition, she comes with a Daihatsu landing craft part and a beach part to display it landing!! ♪

▲ You can just imagine the little KanColle helpers on the landing craft!

As you may have noticed, the arm ship parts slide out like so! ☆

▲It’s a small gimmick, but it’s a lot of fun!

The shore part included for the landing craft is also nicely detailed!

▲ It attaches onto one of the corners of the Nendoroid base!

In summary, these parts are included with Abukuma Kai-II!

◆ Torpedo Firing Effect Parts
◆ Turret Firing Effect Parts
◆ Water Skiing Effect Parts
◆ Kouhyouteki submarine & water effect parts
◆ Daihatsu landing craft
◆ Shore Parts for Landing

▲ Great parts for use with other KanColle Nendoroids too!

Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov: Coach Ver. (YURI!!! on ICE)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The sun has started setting rather early here in Japan now! Can you believe there is less than a month until the end of 2017?!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov: Coach Ver.!

From the popular anime series “YURI!!! on ICE” comes a Nendoroid of Victor Nikiforov wearing his coach outfit! He comes with two face plates including a crisp standard expression as well as a amazed expression for when he watches Yuri’s performance.

Optional parts include his coach pass, a smartphone as well as the silver medal that Yuri won during the Grand Prix final! Be sure to display him together with the previously released Nendoroid Yuri Katsuki: Free Skating Ver. and recreate various scenes from the series!

“I don’t think I’d kiss anything other than a gold medal…”

From the series that has gained fans all over the world, “YURI!!! on ICE”  comes a second Nendoroid of Victor Nikiforov, this time wearing his coach outfit!

His lovely long coat and gentle smile are ready to look on and watch over Yuri, but the Nendoroid also captures that strength of his character as well! He even has his coach pass around his neck, complete with a Nendoroid photo!

▲ Even from the back his long coat makes him look very elegant!

This time around his standard face has a slightly crisper, perhaps more serious look when compared with the standard expression that was included with the previously released Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov!

Compare the two different expressions above and below and I think you’ll notice the differences!

As you can see above, his coach pass can also of course be removed, and he also comes with his smartphone complete with the cover based on his skating outfit!

Let’s move onto his alternate face plate!

The amazed expression from when he saw Yuri’s impressive performance!

Those wide open eyes with a sparkle in them, blushing cheeks and straightforward gaze!! The expression looks so good in Nendoriod size!

Compared with his initial expression you can instantly get a feel for just how amazed he is!

▲ Displayed together with Nendoroid Yuri Katsuki: Free Skating Ver.!

This product only comes with these two face plates, but don’t forget that you can always exchange face plates with the previously released Nendoroid Victor or other Nendoroids for even more display options! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

For example…

Here we have Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov: Coach Ver. with the smiling expression with a heart-shaped mouth from Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov!!!

But anyway, getting back to the optional parts, there are still more that I need to show! Along with the pass and smartphone, he also comes with…

The silver medal that Yuri received in the Grand Prix Finals! ♪

Not only can Viktor hold it, you can also pose it displayed around Yuri’s neck for a lovely scene!!

To summarize, he comes with a coach pass, smartphone and silver medal!

While Viktor looks amazing all by himself, combining him with the previous released in the YOI Nendoroid series allows for all sorts of lovely situations in Nendoroid size!! (∩・∀・)∩

▲The selfie scene…

▲ Or the church scene (although their clothes are a little different)

Recreate your favorite YURI!!! on ICE scenes right beside you in adorable Nendoroid size!

Add the cute coach and living legend to your collection!
Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov: Coach Ver.!

He’ll be up for preorder today!

Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade: 12 Year Old Ver. (Kizumonogatari)

Today’s Main Feature!!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/8th scale figure…

Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade: 12 Year Old Ver.!★

From the popular anime movie “Kizumonogatari” comes a figure of the younger version of Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade! The figure is based on a key visual used for the movie, and features Kiss-Shot wearing a white one-piece dress that gives a peek at her youthful body as she sits upon a table with a bewitching look on her face, capturing all the details from the original illustration as faithfully as possible.

The chair and table are both included with the figure and have also been intricately detailed to capture the world around Kiss-Shot together with the figure, creating an item that no fan should miss out on!

The champion of, and most powerful of the Oddities.

A 1/8th scale figure of the “Champion of Oddities” that has powers far above that of other vampires, Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, based on her 12 year old appearance! Her lovely long blond hair that extends out along the table has been sculpted and painted with such a beautiful flowing look!

▲ The tiny gap at the center of her hair gives a tiny peek at her lower back!

Speaking of amazing sculptwork, note the nails on her fingers and toes! Each has been sculpted and painted with amazing intricacy! ♪

▲ The pale, soft looking skin has such a charming look to it!

She is posed seated on a table wearing  a white one-piece dress that is starting to experience a little bit of wardrobe failure…

She might look like a 12 year old, but Kiss-Shot’s alluring gaze and sexy pose reveal her true age!!

Those eyes make it seem like she can see right into your soul, but once you look into them it is so hard to look away!! (/ω＼)

Not to mention all of the defenceless looking bare skin that can be seen in the gaps of her loose dress!!

It’s a little hard to see in the photo above, but even her belly button has been sculpted in detail, and just take a look at the amazing collar bone you can see below!!

▲ The slight red coloring on her shoulder and elbows add to the realism!

Anyway, let’s take a look at the included base, table and chair! ♪

These are all included to bring out the original illustration as faithfully as possible! You’ll notice the base and table even feature the half-moonlit effect!

▲ The image the figure is based on from when it was announced!

This means that even if you place the figure in completely normal lighting, the light effects and shadows from the illustration come out nicely!

Be sure to take a nice close look at the amazing paintwork once she joins your collection!

A figure that brings out the atmosphere of the illustration in its entirety!

Today’s Main Feature!!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to take a look at this 1/7th scale figure that went up for preorder earlier today…
Eriri Spencer Sawamura!★

From “Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend” comes a 1/7th scale figure of the popular doujinshi artist, Eriri Spencer Sawamura! The figure is based on the jacket illustration of the first season Blu-ray box, and has been sculpted and painted with a unique touch in order to capture the look and feel of Kurehito Misaki’s illustration in figure form.

The highly dynamic pose of the figure make it look ready to jump to life, and her doujinshi and other items that represent her character are placed all around her creating an exciting composition with all sorts of things to see! The doujinshi sketches that were mostly covered up on the original illustration are faithfully included and are even readable on the figure! Be sure to take a close look once she joins your collection!

“I’m gonna become your #1”

From “Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend” comes a scale figure of the up-and-coming doujinshi artist known by the pen name”Eri Kashiwagi” – Eriri Spencer Sawamura! ★

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

The way her twin-tails are fluttering around together with the unique posing makes for such a lovely dynamic pose that really catches the eye! Just look at the way her skirt is moving too!! (´□｀｡)

▲ The details from the back are also amazing!

The slightly see-through look of her socks as they stretch along her legs also looks fantastic! (｀・д´・；)

The difference in texture between the socks and shoes that comes out in the paintwork is also lovely! ♪

The detailed sculpt and paintwork is one thing, but the composition of the pose and the way it has been transformed into a figure makes it look fantastic no matter what angle you choose to look from!ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

The figure is based on the illustration for the 2nd volume of the first season’s Blu-ray jacket!

▲Displayed together!

But perhaps the thing that most people are wondering about are the papers that are all floating around the figure! Doujinshi manuscripts!

Included in amazing detail!!

I’m hoping this blog won’t be flagged as NSFW due to these images, but here is a bit of a close-up of Eriri’s doujinshi!! You can see the amount of detail that is included on them… it’s like you get a free doujinshi to read together with the figure! (/ω・＼)

Plus… 

The piece of paper on the left that was blank on the original illustration has been worked on and now has some rough sketches!! Be sure to take a closer look once she joins your collections! (っ’ω’)っ))

Plus take a look at this lovely face! ★

The eyes have been kept very faithful to Kurehito Misaki’s original illustration! Plus just look at that cute moe fang!! ♥

Finally, a certain point of the figure that really caught my attention…

The way the elastics in her socks are pressing down on her skin!! The line that separates the socks from her thighs has been sculpted so perfectly!! The artisans at Max Factory really are amazing at their work!

Be sure to enjoy her from all sorts of angles if you choose to pick her up! An amazingly dynamic pose filled with all sorts of details and highlights!
Eriri Spencer Sawamura!

She is currently up for preorder!★

Kino: Refined Ver. (Kino’s Journey)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The year is coming to an end but we still have many new items coming up this December! Starting off with this one up for preorder tomorrow, the 1/8th scale…
Kino: Refined Ver.!

Good Smile Company originally released this 1/8th scale figure of Kino back in 2008, but with the anime series on the way we have revised the old sculpt and created this “Refined Ver.” for both new and old fans to enjoy in their collection!

Kino is the main character of Kino’s Journey, a story about a girl who travels the world with her talking motorcycle Hermes. The figure features Kino holding her favorite persuader gun named “Canon” with gentle sculptwork that captures the atmosphere of the series perfectly. Smoke made with semi-transparent parts wafts out from the gun’s muzzle, creating an intricately detailed figure that fans are sure to enjoy in their collection.

“That’s why… I can’t stop my journey.”

The character that travels around the world with her talking motorcycle Hermes and never stays in the same country for more than three days – Kino as a 1/8th scale figure! Her neat shirt and jacket as well as the details belt and pouches have all been captured in lovely detail! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

The creases and shadows all over her outfit really bring the figure to life!

She might look a little defenseless at first glance, but that twist her in hips and the gun in her hands certainly say otherwise!! Plus just look at the lovely curves around her hips!!

Her neat hair and calm facial expression have also been captured for fans to enjoy by their side whenever they please! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

As you may have read in the product description or guessed from the name, this is in fact a refined version of a Kino figure that was actually released back in 2008!

The sculpt and paintwork have both been brushed-up, and considerably more detail has been added to the figure!

The pouches around her hips are a perfect example, featuring much more detail that make them look much more realistic than on the previous version!

▲ Her weapon of choice, the persuader “Canon” is held in hand,
with a detailed holster on her side as well!

Also take note of the smoke curling out from the barrel of the gun! ♪

▲ The translucent parts, paintwork and sculpt all give the
feeling of the smoke wafting away in the wind!

Plus, take a close look at the base!

The grass on the side, the soft looking sand and the motorbike trail left by Hermes! The various textures are such a pleasure to look at!

A figure overflowing with the atmosphere of the series!♪

The 1/8th Scale Figure…
Kino: Refined Ver.!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!★

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company website for more details!

In addition, we also have a Nendoroid on the way to look forward to!
Nendoroid Kino!

Stay tuned for more updates!
