Nendoroid Sakura (Fire Emblem Fates)

Hello everyone, Kahotan here!

It always feels like Monday to be after a long weekend to me! I’m not in Tuesday gear yet!! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Sakura!

From the popular game “Fire Emblem Fates” comes a Nendoroid of the shy and reserved Princess of Hoshido, Sakura! She comes with three face plates including a standard smiling face, a gallant shouting face as well as a cute embarrassed face to show her shy side.

Optional parts include her staff together with healing effect parts as well as a rod of dumplings, one of her favorite sweet foods! Be sure to display Nendoroid Sakura with the previously released Nendoroid Elise and enjoy the two friends together!

The shy and reserved Princess of Hoshido is joining the Nendoroids!

From the 14th game in the Fire Emblem series, “Fire Emblem Fates” comes a Nendoroid of the shy, youngest of the Hoshidan royal siblings – Sakura! ✿

Her iconic miko priestess-style outfit and staff have all been faithfully converted into chibi Nendoroid size!

▲ Even the Japanese-style shoes have been captured! ♪

From the back we can see the pointy parts of her hairstyle and her Alice band are also included on the Nendoroid, as well as the lovely big ribbon tied at the back!

The left and right sides of her white cape are fitted with joints allowing them to move around for different nuances while posing! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

It can also be completely removed!

▲ The Nendoroid allows for all sorts of different possibilities!

She comes with a total of three face plates including the gentle smile above! The second one is a shouting expression more suited to combat scenes!

Special healing effect parts are included with the Nendoroid and can be attached to the staff to show her supporting her teammates! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ The effect parts have a semi-transparent look covered with stars! Cute!

Moving on to her third face plate…

A cute embarrassed expression!

The slightly blushed cheeks with a gentle smile as she looks our way… this is the reason she is the #1 healer in the army!

Plus in her hands she holds a rod of multicolored dumplings! ♥

Sakura is known to be a character that loves sweet foods, and this item actually appeared in the game as a joke weapon, so this was a lovely item to include with the Nendoroid!

She looks great displayed alone, but also consider displaying her with the previously released Nendoroid Elise!

▲A pose that make it look like Elise is grabbing her hands!

The pose above has Sakura’s hands together for Elise to grab on to, but Sakura alone this this pose is also very cute! ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ ｸﾞｯ

Be sure to add the young Hoshidan Princess to your collection!
Nendoroid Sakura!!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!☆

1/6 Big Daddy & Little Sister (BIOSHOCK)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at a much darker item than usual! You may want to close the page if you’re not a fan of the more horror style of figures!

I’ll be taking a look at an item from threezero currently up for preorder!
1/6 Big Daddy & Little Sister!

1/6 Big Daddy collectible figure stands approximately 12.5” (~31.5cm) tall and 1/6 Little Sister is 5.6 inches (~14.3cm). Both collectible figures are articulated and highly detailed, featuring realistic likeness of the characters in BIOSHOCK video game. Big Daddy has over 35 Points of Articulation; Detachable Right Drill; Arms and Legs are covered with Fabric Material; Exchangeable Hands and it comes with Light-up Feature, which consists of 8 Head Light with Interchangeable Yellow, Red and Green Lights. Little Sister comes with Tailored Fabric Clothing, ADAM Harvesting Tool and Exchangeable Hands.

Highly detailed articulated figures of both the Big Daddy and Little Sister from the popular first-person shooter game, BIOSHOCK!!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

They are both approximately 1/6th scale in size, making the Big Daddy stand around 31.5cm in height and the Little Sister around 14.3cm!

▲ Size comparison with an iPhone 6! ♪

The used, dirty look of the Little Sister’s outfit is amazing! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Included with the Little Sister is her ADAM harvesting syringe, which can be held in her hand to recreate the well-known scene from the game!

The Big Daddy also features amazing paintwork, but the lower layer of clothing is made from real fabric which also means that you can easily move the 35 points of articulation around without anything getting in the way!

The rusted look of the diving suit gear gives you a good feel for its age and really captures the coarse texture nicely! ♪

The Big Daddy also comes with an open left hand part so you can pose him holding hands with the Little Sister!

▲ The difference in size between them really stands out when holding hands!

One of more memorable scenes from the game…

Whenever you finally managed to defeat a Big Daddy, you would find the poor Little Sister crying by his side… (´□｀｡)

Here you are left with a very important choice…

Harvest… or Rescue? Which would you pick? (´；ω；｀)

Both the Little Sister and the Big Daddy are very highly articulated, so you can also pose them in various original poses that were never seen in the game!

▲ Offering his hand out to the Little Sister! ☆

In addition, the eyes of the Big Daddy also feature a light-up effect which can switch from green, yellow and red to show the mood of the Big Daddy! Note that batteries are sold separately!

▲ Will the Big Daddy attack on sight, or have a calmer demeanor?

Bring out the BIOSHOCK world in your collection! 
1/6 Big Daddy & Little Sister!

They are currently up for preorder!

Nendoroid Tōru Amuro (Detective Conan)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

It’s starting to get a little chilly in the evenings now! Time to start thinking about clothes for winter! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Tōru Amuro!

nendoroid-tooru-amuro-detective-conan

From the popular anime series “Detective Conan” comes a Nendoroid of mysterious Toru Amuro! He comes with three face plates including a fearless smile as his standard expression, a more serious expression for when he is faced with hostility as well as a much more cheerful smiling expression. He comes with an alternate upper body part for a more casual look as well as a plate with sandwiches and an apron part! Enjoy various sides of Amuro’s personality in Nendoroid size!

“Because I am a private eye. A detective.”

The Blu-ray and DVD of  Detective Conan: The Crimson Love Letter releases today, and this Nendoroid from the anime series of the mysterious Tooru Amuro will be up for preorder from tomorrow!

His dark skin and light hair, confident smile and various other details have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size!

nendoroid-tooru-amuro-detective-conan

▲ Even the fold line in his pants has been preserved on the Nendoroid! ♪

The outfit the Nendoroid is wearing is based on his outfit from the “Jet-Black Mystery Train” case! It gives me a very smart looking appearance!

nendoroid-tooru-amuro-detective-conan

The Nendoroid also includes a bolo tie at the request of the manga’s author, Gosho Aoyama!

Anyway, let’s move on to his different face plates! ε=(｡・д・｡)

nendoroid-tooru-amuro-detective-conan

His first and standard face plate is the one used in all the photos above, which has a bit of a mysterious look that makes it hard to tell what he is thinking! He also comes with two other alternate face plates!

The second is this serious face!

nendoroid-tooru-amuro-detective-conan

He suddenly looks a lot more stressed out compared to the expression above! The open mouth and sharp eyes make him look ready for whatever might come his way! (´□｀｡)

He also comes with interchangeable hand parts which can be used to pose him using his boxing-style moves for combat scenes! The serious expression works great for more hostile poses!

nendoroid-tooru-amuro-detective-conan

▲ He also comes with a bent leg part!

Last but not least…

nendoroid-tooru-amuro-detective-conan

He also comes with a friendly smiling face! ♪

Suddenly the hostility from above has melted away into a gentle smile!! Just looking at him makes me feel all warm and happy inside!

Plus as you can see, he also comes with a plate of sandwiches and an apron as optional parts to display him during his part-time job as a waiter at Ristorante Sundayrino!

nendoroid-tooru-amuro-detective-conan

Plus as you may have noticed, he also comes with a completely separate upper body part which is used to display him as a waiter, or simply a more casual look!

nendoroid-tooru-amuro-detective-conan

The arm and leg parts are designed to work with either of the upper body parts allowing for all sorts of different posing combinations! ★

You can easily recreate the outfit from the The Jet-Black Mystery Train, a simple turtleneck sweater look or with an apron to have him as a waiter!

nendoroid-tooru-amuro-detective-conan

Enjoy all sorts of different sides to Amuro! ♪

Be sure to add the cute, confident private eye to your collection!

Hatsune Miku: Harvest Moon Ver. (Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I only found out there were various different types of mooncakes after I started working at GSC. I always thought they were a delicious sweet treat, completely unaware that there are others that have a much more savory approach! I’ll stick to the sweet kinds though!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/8th scale…
Hatsune Miku: Harvest Moon Ver.!

From the “Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku” comes a 1/8th scale figure of Hatsune Miku wearing dressed up in outfit based on those seen at the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.

The translucent feeling from the original illustration by Chinese illustrator Rella has been captured as faithfully as possible, with a beautiful sculpt that captures her elegance. The paintwork is also a highlight of the figure, with the gentle colors of the design blending with the translucent parts to create an stunning appearance. Enjoy a moonlit light with the gentle smile of Harvest Moon Miku by your side!

“Won’t you admire the moon with me?”

This beautiful figure was on display at the recent CICF Expo event held in China, and now she is ready for preorders to open! The stunning version of Hatsune Miku based on an illustration by Rella has been transformed into a figure that captures the translucent, flowing feel of the illustration as faithfully as possible in figure form!!

The poster you can see above is based on the exact angle of the original illustration to show just how similar it is! I just had to show it off on the blog!! (∩・∀・)

But let’s move in with a closer look with the normal selection of photos!

While the figure is in a rather simple standing pose, there are still so many different things to see! First and foremost are they lovely twirls of her hair!!

If we take a look from the top you can get a good feel for the circular twirls that her hair makes as it dances downward!

The best thing about the twirls is that they are so gentle which match with the overall feel of the figure, while still providing a dynamic feeling to the figure!

The original illustration obviously was only ever in two dimensions, which made transforming this into three dimensions was not a simple task, but the artisans over in the production team have brought out a sculpt that looks beautiful no matter what angle you choose to look from! You really need to see the sculpt in person to really appreciate it!

Also note the details on the very top!

Can you see the little sprinkles of gold on her hair?

This silver dist is included to recreate the light of the moon as it shone on the top of her head on the original illustration! The ever so slight gold effect is to incorporate this golden light on the design of the figure as well!

▲ The original illustration that the figure is based on!

The long ribbon-like part of her outfit is made from transparent parts to capture the original look, but also have the golden dust for that shiny reflection! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

▲ You can see it much better against a black background! ♪

All this and all I’ve really spoken about is her hair! There is still so much to enjoy about this figure! Just look at all the different layers of her outfit which have each been intricately detailed! ε=(｡・д・｡)

The frills at the very bottom of the dress are also individually sculpted in lovely detail!  ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

The pearl paintwork together with the sculpt that makes it look like it really is a soft fabric… it has such a mysterious yet eye-catching appearance!

Even though the figure isn’t painted with very flashy paintwork, there is something about it that just makes her so very charming! She just draws you in!! I don’t know how else to explain it!

Depending on the angle you choose to look from, the expression can change between being rather cheerful looking to having a much more wistful look!

Be sure to add her to your collection and find the angle that you like best!

Enjoy a night of moon watching with this 1/8th scale Miku!
Hatsune Miku: Harvest Moon Ver.!

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow, which is the harvest moon!!

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

Nendoroid Asuna: Ordinal Scale Ver. & Yui (Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I drank some transparent tea the other day and was somewhat surprised at how tea-like it tasted. The transparent drinks that are coming out recently really mess with one’s mind!

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

Nendoroid Asuna: Ordinal Scale Ver. & Yui!

From “Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale” comes a Nendoroid of the main heroine, Asuna, based on his new outfit from the movie! She comes with both a standard face and a shouting face for combat poses. The AR-type information terminal “Augma” that plays an important role in the movie is included, as well as her favorite sword allowing for all sorts of poses from the series.

In addition, she also comes with a smiling face with a slight blush, a small figure of Yui as well as the engagement ring that Kirito gave her allowing for various Nendoroid poses that show the love and bonds between the characters of the movie!

“Ordinal Scale, Activate!”

From the anime movie with its Blu-ray & DVD going on sale today, “Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale” comes a Nendoroid of Asuna, the rapier user also known by her nickname, the “Flash”! The unique design of her outfit from the movie has been converted into Nendoroid size with careful attention to detail on both the sculpt and paintwork! ♪

Her hairstyle with a ring of braids has also been faithfully preserved!

The little ponytail section at the back is attached with a joint for slightly different posing options!

Plus, she also comes with a little friend!!

The character that looks up to Asuna and Kirito as parents, Yui is included with Asuna’s Nendoroid!! (っ’ω’)っ))

She has been made as a really tiny figure to better match the size of the Nendoroids, but even so the detail on her outfit with it’s ribbons and even the flower in her hair have all been beautifully sculpted and painted! But let’s get back to Asuna!

She can also be displayed with her rapier drawn, ready for a fight! You can use this together with the included combat expression to display her ready for combat, showing off her speed with the weapon!

While there is a lot of power behind the expression, I also think the way her teeth are sticking out at the top is so very cute!!

▲ She also comes with bent leg parts for a more dynamic pose! ☆

Plus she also comes with a third face plate…

A blushing smile which is perfect to display with her showing off the engagement ring that she got from Kirito! ♥

If you look close you can see the ring on her ring finger!! I wish them many happy years ahead!! (/ω＼)

As a side note, Nendoroid Kirito: Ordinal Scale Ver. is available for preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP until tomorrow at 12:00JST, so don’t miss out! ☆

▲ BLOG REVIEW

A quick note that while this product is similar to the Asuna included with the Nendoroid Kirito & Asuna: O.S Ver. set, the following details are different!

◆ The face plates are different.
◆ Additional parts are included (Yui / Engagement Ring / Bent Leg)
◆ More interchangeable arm parts are included
◆ The base is a standard Nendoroid base.

*The hair and outfit are the same sculpt.

 

Be sure to add both Asuna and Yui to your Nendoroid family!
Nendoroid Asuna: Ordinal Scale Ver. & Yui!

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow! ★

Be sure to check the Good Smile Company Official site for more details tomorrow!

Nendoroid Murakumo (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We’re only just getting to the end of Summer and my hay fever is already starting to act up… it hasn’t even got that cold yet!

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

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the fifth Fubuki-class destroyer, Murakumo! She comes with three face plates including a standard face, a half-damaged expression as well as a smiling face.

Her unique ship parts have been captured using translucent parts to bring out the feel of the material, and the arm has a wide range of articulation allowing it to be moved in all different directions. The standard turret firing effects as well as torpedo effects are both included allowing for various combat scenes as well!

In addition, she also comes with a scarf, glove and chocolates to display her based on her Valentines day illustration! Enjoy various different sides of her character in your collection!

“So, you’re the commander? I hope you’re up to the job.”

The fifth special class destroyer, Murakumo, is joining the Nendoroid series! Her cute expression with an open mouth, the long red tie with a sailor uniform, rabbit ear-like ship parts and the long arms with turrets attached have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size!

The back of her long hair is also fitted with an additional set of joints (areas circled in red) that make sure that her hair does not get in the way when posing the arms, while also allows for slightly more dynamic nuances!

The arms and turrets also move in all sorts of different ways! (っ’ω’)っ

They can all be moved to the once side as a kind of shield…

▲ Matches with her aloof half-damaged face plate! ☆

Or instead spread out far on both sides…

” Fools who get my in way… will sink!“

You can just imagine her cute voice when you pose her in a more battle ready pose like those above! Although the expression above is based on her half-damaged expression it also has quite a steadfast look to it that can also be used as a confident look for combat scenes! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

She also comes with turret firing and torpedo firing effect parts which bring out the heat of battle even more!

For her third face plate, we have a cute smiling expression!

While they both have a slight blush, the contrast between the half-damaged expression and this cute smile is such a lovely sight!!

Plus as I’m sure you’ve noticed, she also comes with a scarf, gloves and a box of chocolates to recreate her Valentine’s look! ♡

▲ The cute little balls of pink at the ends of her scarf are so cute! (*´ｪ`*)

The Valentine’s outfit can also be used with the half-damaged expression to create a perfectly tsundere scene!

Simply mix and match the parts until you find the Murakumo you like best! ♪

Be sure to add the cool and confident lone wolf to your collection!
Nendoroid Murakumo!

She will be up for preorder tomorrow, the 27th September 2017 which is also the anniversary of the ship’s launch!★

Anastasia: Story of Revolving Stars Ver. (THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS)

Hello everyone! Chan-shuu from GSC’s planning team here!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this scale figure from THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS…
Anastasia: Story of Revolving Stars Ver.!

From the popular idol production game “THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS” comes a 1/8th scale figure of Anastasia!

The figure’s outfit is based on the “Story of Revolving Stars” outfit for a inspiring yet somewhat wistful appearance as she stands on stage. The various chains and belts that decorate the outfit have been carefully detailed, creating an intricate figure filled with highlights – as if the illustration jumped up as a 3D figure for fans to enjoy! Be sure to add her to your collection!

I can see it… the blue nebula…
A never-ending  sea of stars that fills the sky

The idol with a Russian father and Japanese mother who mixes Russian into her sentences has been transformed into a beautiful 1/8th scale figure!! Her gorgeous blue, gold and white outfit has also been captured in lovely detail!

▼ This is how she looks from the front!

▲ A gentle expression with confidence in her eyes!

Her long eyelashes and turquoise eyes have been captured beautifully, and the comfortable looking pose with her hand extended create a lovely flow to her outfit that makes one think of the deep blue sea! The cute open mouth is also a rather unique and very cute point! (*´ω｀*)

Also note the slight blue tints to the sides of her hair which are included to completely recreate the original illustration in figure form!

▼ By the way…

▲A part of her hair accessory makes use of translucent parts!

The pearl paintwork one one part, a lovely gradient on the feathers as well as translucent parts which all comes together to look amazing!!

▼ Just look at those fingertips! (〃∇〃)

​​​​​​​

Each and every one of the fingers have been sculpted to look so very charming! The white gloves also have a slight blue shadow to them to give them more depth that makes the hand look so realistic! The unique accessory on her arm is also lovely and intricate!

Another thing I love is the area of her arm you can see underneath the sleeve! It gives you a nice feeling of depth!

▼ Her custom designed microphone!

​​​​​​​

▲The coloring and bottom part show it must be custom made!

This hand also has such lovely sculpted fingers! Also note the clasp that holds the gloves close as well as the tiny little hole that shows an extra little bit of skin!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

▼ So many layers to her outfit! ☆

​​​​​​​

▲ According to Anya the outfit is a Japanese designer’s take on a classic Russian ceremonial dress!

An outfit with an ancient and honorable origin, that really suits Anya’s character perfectly! The pose also has a very dynamic feeling which makes the outfit flow around her really beautifully!

▼прекрасный… (*´ω｀*)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

▼The white skirt and azure lace are stunning! (/_☆)/

The skirt has a matte finish, while the socks below have a glossy look for a nice contrast! The top of the socks are also designed with belts and you can see they are squeezing her thighs quite tightly!

▼ This is how she looks from the back!

​​​​​​​

▲ Even from the back the flow of her pose looks lovely!

▼ Also note the detail of the ribbon on her waist!

​​​​​​​

▲ The inner area has a dark look like the night sky, while the edge is headed more to a sky blue! ☆

The end of the ribbon also has the same accessory that was at the end of the microphone! The flow of the ribbon also adds to the dynamic appearance I mentioned before!

​​​​​​​

▼ Look at these stylish boots! 

▲The shiniest appearance of all the parts of her outfit!

The difference in gloss helps to differentiate the different textures on the figure while also giving them a very chic appearance while not being too obtrusive!

▼An angle based on the illustration it is based on!

​​​​​​​

The figure faithfully captures all the details of the original illustration while also ensuring that no matter what angle you look from she still looks amazing!

Anastasia: Story of Revolving Stars Ver.…

Will be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Be sure to take a look at the Good Smile Company official site tomorrow for more information! → http://www.goodsmile.info/

Anyway, that’s all from me for today! I hope to see you all again soon!! (・ω・)ノ

Suzune Horikita: Clothes Changing ver. (CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Kahokawa’s…
Suzune Horikita: Clothes Changing ver.!

From “CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE” comes a 1/7th scale figure of the D-class’s Suzune Horikita posed in the middle of getting dressed. The figure is based on an illustration by original character designer Tomose Shunsaku, which was originally used for a bonus included with the original light novels.

She is posed with a surprised look on her face with a slight blush in her cheeks as she is caught in a rather sexy appearance with her shirt and blouse wide open in the middle of getting dressed. Her beautiful long black hair and her sexy underwear make use of a large number of intricate parts and her body line has been carefully sculpted to ensure that her stunning curves are captured exactly as they looked on the original illustration. Enjoy a more defenseless look to the usual Suzune by adding this figure to your collection!

“You’re a funny one. You won’t find anything interesting in talking to me.”

A sexy scale figure of the mysterious beauty who tends to distance herself from her classmates, Suzune Horikita!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Tomose Shunsaku’s cute illustration has been transformed into figure with amazing detail that captures all the charm of the original!

▲ Even the bra straps and lace have been carefully detailed!

Let’s take a look at her from the back! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

The ever so slight gradient toward the tips of her long hair has been faithfully included on the figure’s design, and the curves of her thighs and bottom look lovely even from the back!! ★

Another thing that really gets me is this facial expression!

As the product description reads, she is posed with a surprised look on her face with a slight blush in her cheeks as she is caught in a rather sexy appearance… the expression alone tells a whole story!! The fact that her eyes are looking slightly to the side also just adds even more to it! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Plus if we look a little lower there is much more to enjoy than just the lovely facial expression! (/ω・＼)


Her amazing body that is normally covered up by her uniform has been beautifully revealed to stare at to your heart’s content!!

Just look at all the curves from her collar bone all the way down to her belly button! You can see they have all been very carefully thought out for the sculpt!

If we look even lower…

The skirt she has just removed is lying on the floor!!

The fact that this is here just adds to the “getting dressed” effect and sets the scene so nicely!! These parts are not connected to the base, so you can choose to display it without the skirt, or even have the skirt lying around in a different position!

Be sure to add the cute and sexy Suzune to your collection!
