I am a terrible swimmer and still depend on a swimming ring in order to swim safely. I’ve seen there are some rather photogenic swimming rings made to look like sea shells available recently… maybe I should invest in one!
Today I’m going to be taking a look at this item currently up for preorder… Mei Irizaki: Swimsuit Ver.!★
From the popular anime series “High School Fleet” comes a 1/8th scale figure of the Harukaze’s Chief Torpedo Officer, Mei Irizaki! She is posed in an energetic original pose that suits her cheerful personality wearing the swimsuit seen in episode 7 of the anime series. The polka-dot section of her outfit can be removed to display her wearing just her bikini!
The Harukaze’s Chief Torpedo Officer wearing her swimsuit!
The belligerent torpedo officer of the Harukaze who can’t stand losing, Mei Irizaki has been transformed into a scale figure! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
*Please note that all photos are of a product still under approval and certain elements may change before release.
She holds a large inflatable torpedo under her left arm!
The shiny appearance of the inflatable torpedo has been captured so nicely, as well as the way it has been squished down where her arm is holding on to it!
Let’s take a look from the back! (∩・∀・)∩
Her cute ponytail has been sculpted in lovely detail even from the back, with each of the hair strands carefully sculpted and painted!
The polka-dot clothes she is wearing over her swimsuit has been sculpted with a nice dynamic feel that matches with the pose of her dashing forward!
Also note the big splash at her feet! ★
▲Even her toes have been sculpted with movement to them!
You can also see the cat-ear hood that makes up a part of her outfit! ♡
I love the way the polka-dot dress is slipping off her right shoulder!
But this item also comes with a special option! You can change her outfit!
Or to be more precise, you can choose to remove the outer garment and display her just wearing her cute orange swimsuit! This gives you a much closer look at her lovely white skin and slender curves!
The figure has quite a different appearance without the polka-dot dress, and you can easily switch between them whenever you choose! Or simply just leave her in the version you prefer!! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))
Be sure to add the energetic Mei-chan to your collection! Mei Irizaki: Swimsuit Ver.
All Good Smile Company products are made to order, so if you want to be sure that you get your hands on them preordering is always the safest bet! Make sure you don’t miss out! (∩・∀・)∩
Today I’m going to be taking a look at… Nendoroid Cobra!
“HIGH&LOW g-sword” brings out the atmosphere of HIGH&LOW with cute illustrations by CLAMP, and from that series comes a Nendoroid of the Sannoh Hoodlum Squad’s Cobra! He comes with two face plates including a confident standard expression as well as a serious expression he often shows while in fights. The Nendoroid also includes his red scarf and a selection of interchangeable hand and leg parts allowing for all sorts of poses to enjoy!
“This fight will mean life or death.”
From HiGH＆LOW g-sword comes a Nendoroid of the Sannoh Hoodlum Squad’s Cobra!! The outfit he is wearing is based on the outfit seen on the poster for the movie “HiGH&LOW THE MOVIE 2 / END OF SKY”! His hairstyle has also been faithfully captured in lovely detail – note that the area closest to his head has a black gradient!
This is how he looks from the back! ε=(｡・д・｡)
His hair looks lovely and silky from the back, and the fierce looking tiger on the back of his jacket and even his pants have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size!
If you look up close you will notice there are also tigers on the front of his jacket too! How can they look so fierce and so cute at the same time! (*´ｪ`*)
▲ Also note the chequered shirt and even the details of the jacket zipper!
I am sure there are a lot of people that already know this, but for those who don’t let’s take a quick look at what the series is all about! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”
What is HiGH＆LOW?
An original entertainment project from EXILE TRIBE which includes a TV drama, movies, manga, net broadcasts, music, live tours, social network campaigns, flash animations and more!
As you can see the project is provided through all sorts of different media!
I really don’t think I can explain the series all that well myself, so I’m going to borrow the official cast and story explanation video to do a better job! It should give you a good feeling for the atmosphere around the series!
g-sword captures the spirit of the HiGH＆LOW but is transformed into a much cuter looking manga by the authors of Card Captor Sakura, CLAMP! The series is serialized in Weekly Shounen Magazine and the manga volume scheduled to released in 17th October also comes with a DVD featuring flash animations of the series.
Anyway, let’s get back to the Nendoroid! Along with the standard confident standard expression above…
He also comes with a serious expression for combat scenes!
Together with the bent arm and fist parts you can even pose him wiping his mouth like above! In addition, he also comes with the red scarf! ★
Cobra is known to use his scarf for various combat techniques in the middle of fights! You can enjoy that element of him with the Nendoroid too!
The scarf can also simply be placed around his neck like the photo below!
▲ The scarf has a nice dynamic feel to it!
I’m quite sure that quite a lot of newcomers to Nendoroids might decide to pick this one up, so we’ve made him relatively simply and easy to put on display! He comes with various different arm and leg parts that can quickly be switched out to give him a different pose! ☆
▲ Place his hand behind his head…
▲Or pose him ready to take a punch!
In addition, most parts of Nendoroids can be used with other Nendoroid characters for even more posing opportunities!
If you do choose to preorder it will be a little while before he arrives at your home, but once he does you’ll be able to enjoy him in all sorts of different poses! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
HiGH＆LOW has many more charming characters that I would love to see join the Nendoroid series together with Cobra! I hope I’ll get the chance to work on some more characters!! (only time will tell!)
Last but not least, note that he comes with a special round Nendoroid base featuring the Sannoh Hoodlum Squad logo! ★
▲Note that the standard Nendoroid stand is not included.
Be sure to add the cute Cobra to your collection! Nendoroid Cobra!
All Good Smile Company products are made to order, so if you want to be sure that you get your hands on them preordering is always the safest bet! Make sure you don’t miss out! (∩・∀・)∩
There are some videos like the above that simply take a close look at the figure from various different angles, but then we also have my personal favorite type of videos…
These videos either take a look at items that are currently up for preorder or instead items that are just about to release in stores!! Here is the video that he was taking above, freshly uploaded to the YouTube channel!
▼Current Projects Good Smile Arms: Kirby & Robobo Armor… and more!
Tori Bird is a member of out planning team! His first project was in fact not a Nendoroid but a Nendoroid Plus!! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ
Tori Bird: Yep! Back then I didn’t understand anything about the process of making figures, it was a lot to learn and I still thank everyone for bearing with me while I learnt all the finer details!
Coming into the industry without really knowing the ropes makes things rather difficult!
Tori Bird: There are a lot of things that need to be considered when planning a figure – things like trying to keep costs down based on the way of sculpting and methods of painting! After that project I started working on a Nendoroid and remember trying my best to keep the manufacturing process in mind. For the past few years I in fact moved to the Lucky Factory in Tottori as a member of the manufacturing team, and have since become much more informed!
And now you’ve come back and rejoined the planning team! One item you are working on is the Robobo Armor mentioned above… is there anything else you want to talk about?
Tori Bird: I’m in fact working on an all new challenge!! But we’re still in the rather early stages, so I can’t say much else right now! Stay tuned!
A new challenge? That sounds rather interesting! I look forward to hearing more!
Is there anything specific you do when recording the videos?
Tori Bird: I always try to keep my reactions to the projects as genuine as possible! I want those watching the video to feel the emotions I am feeling when they watch!
When I came to take photos I noticed you didn’t have any script or anything! (；・`ω・´）
Tori Bird: That’s right! While I do confirm any important parts about the figures with the planners beforehand, we don’t have any specific script or preparation. We simply look at the figures while taking an honest look at the important details!
How about when editing?
Tori Bird: I try to edit them to be as short as possible but still packed with info! I try to keep up a quick and fun tempo!
Tori Bird edits his own videos! Both the main actor and the main editor!
Tori Bird: I do have help from the WEB team’s yα-tomo when recording the video in terms of camera work, but I do all the editing myself!
▲ Tori Bird troubled over his edits…
Tori Bird: We have a lot of tools to send new info out on the web – Facebook, Twitter, even this blog. But we wanted to try and add another layer to the promotion with videos, which is why we started this YouTube project.
There are around 3-4 videos each month, but do you have a favorite?
Tori Bird: My personal best so far was the review we did of the Nendoroid Face Maker website!
Is there any other project you want to make a video of?
Tori Bird: I would love to do a video that takes a look around Lucky Factory! I was there for awhile and did have the chance to take a look around during a live broadcast, but I would love to show everyone how exactly the figures are made in the factory! I’m not sure if there is demand for that though!
I think that’s a great idea! Tori Bird’s guided tour of the factory!! I look forward to it and many more videos in the future!
Tori Bird: Be sure to subscribe to the Good Smile YouTube Channel for more!

I play a lot of games, but I tend to give up before ever finishing them… I think I can count the number I’ve finished completely on one hand…
Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at… Nendoroid Kirito: Ordinal Scale Ver.!

Even in Nendoroid size all the details of his outfit including the golden bands and accessories and even his iconic shoe design have been faithfully preserved!
▲He also comes with alternate parts to display the sword sheathed!
Along with the gentle expression above, he also comes with a combat expression better suited to those more serious battle scenes! (∩・∀・)∩

Hello everyone! Chan-shuu (@gscs_hirase) from the GSC planing team here!
Today I’m going to be taking a look at ORANGE ROUGE’s… Nendoroid Okanehira!
From the popular browser and smartphone game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the Bizen sword, Okanehira! He comes with three face plates including a standard face, a combat face as well as a smiling expression based on his “Naturally” line from the game. His sword can be displayed both sheathed or drawn allowing you to recreate various scenes from the game. Be sure to add him to your collection!
“There are some that say that I am in fact the most beautiful sword!”
Okanehira is a Bizen sword just like Nendoroid Uguisumaru who was also recently announced! He is also the 20th character to join the Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- Nendoroid series!! There are still many other characters in the works, so look out for more soon!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Anyway, let’s take a closer look at Okanehira…
▼ His lovely red hair…
▲ and light grey eyes!
The sharp tips of his hair have carefully painted to have the shades match the tips making for a very faithful rendition in Nendoroid size! the grey eyes peeling out from the hair also look so clear and confident!
▼ A closer look at his outfit!
The first thing I want to draw your attention to is the use of reds for the armor and cords all over the outfit that bring out such a lovely contrast with the blacks. The little golden details of the emblem and belts have also been carefully painted and make for a lovely accent! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
▼ This is how he looks from the back!
▲ The sculpt of his hair from the back…! (ﾟＡﾟ;)ｺﾞｸﾘ
The figure went through various iterations to ensure that no matter what angle you chose to look from, the figure would always keep Okanehira’s shape in tact!
▼ Also note his sword!
The sword can be placed sheathed at his side like above, but can also be removed like below!
▼Let’s move on to some combat scenes!
*His right arm parts were being slightly adjusted, so this photo is from the GSC site.
His second face plate is an expression more suited to combat, with sharp eyes and gritted teeth! Here is is posed with one leg out to the side and the other bent as if just about to make his next move!
▼ The shoulder armor can also be freely moved around!
▲ The armor on his right shoulder features a ball joint which allows for many more posing opportunities while wielding the sword! Here is an example of how it can be moved around!
▼ If we take a look from the front…
He looks ready for battle!! (ﾉﾟοﾟ)ﾉ
▼ His third face plate is a smiling expression!
▲ “Naturally.“
Just look at the confidence in that smile! He comes with folded arms to bring out that cocky look even more!
▼ Displayed with Nendoroid Uguisumaru! (*´ー｀*)
▼Enjoying a cup of tea! 旦o (*´∀｀*)
▲ You need to balance it rather carefully, but you can actually have him hold the cup like this!
▼ Plus, as usual…
▲ A base featuring his emblem is also included!
This matches up with all the previous figures in the series!! Nendoroid Okanehira!
I sometimes have a stealth system that activates when I don’t want it to. Sometimes it takes ages for the staff in restaurants to notice me calling them…
Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at… Nendoroid Megumi Kato: Heroine Outfit Ver. !♪
From “Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend” comes a Nendoroid of the main heroine Megumi Kato wearing her heroine outfit! The outfit that she first met Tomoya in, which also plays an important role in the series, is finally joining the Nendoroids! The beret style hat that has always been a rather iconic part of the outfit has also been included in Nendoroid size, and comes in two different sizes allowing you to display her either wearing or holding it.
She comes with three face plates including a smiling face, a blank face for when she ignores Tomoya as well as a crying expression. An alternate arm wearing her school uniform can be used together with the crying face and the previously released Nendoroid Megumi Kato in order to recreate the scene from the broadcast room in the 7th volume of the original novel.
The Nendoroid also features a special hill base in order to recreate the first meeting scene and really bring out the heroine power of Megumi in Nendoroid form! Be sure to add her to your collection!
The Nendoroid features Megumi wearing the outfit from the scene that influenced Aki-kun to work toward his dream of making games! It even includes the hill from the scene!!
Let’s take a closer look at the product’s features!
1) A Hill Part is Included!
The standard Nendoroid stand connects at the back allowing almost any Nendoroid to stand atop the hill! The red and white safety barriers are sculpted with a bit of an elongated look in order to bring out a feeling of perspective on the hill!
2) Two Hat Parts are Included
A standard hat that she can actually wear on her head is included as you can see in the first few photos, but she also comes with a second hat to hold in her hands to recreate the above pose!
3) A Spaced-Out Expression!
This blank expression devoid of any life is also included to display her ignoring everything around her. I can also think of various other situations where this expression would come in handy!
4) Crying Face Also Included!
A cute expression with tears brimming in her eyes and a slight blush! I there anyone that could look at this face and not feel for her?!
This expression can also be used together with the previously released Nendoroid Megumi Kato (sold separately) in order to recreate the scene from the broadcast room in the 7th volume of the original novel!ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ
▲ This was around episode eight of the second season in the anime!
Meet your very own heroine at the top of the hill road!
Nendoroid Megumi Kato: Heroine Outfit Ver. !♪
This product will be included with the Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend ♭ Memorial Book with Nendoroid Megumi Kato: Heroine Outfit Ver. Limited Edition!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Max Factory’s… Iowa Half-Damaged: Heavy Armament Ver.!
From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a new addition to Good Smile Company and Max Factory’s “Wonderful Hobby Selection” series of top quality figures – the US Iowa-class battleship Iowa in her half-damaged version!
The damaged appearance of her ship parts such as the bent gun turrets, broken bow and bridge have all been carefully sculpted and painted to create a convincing damaged appearance! The torn tights showing off her soft looking skin, as well as her beautiful long blond hair and playful expression have been detailed to create a cute figure of Iowa for fans to enjoy by their side!
“Ouch! You hit me pretty hard…
but I’ll get my pay back! Just you wait!”
Perhaps one of the most impressive battleships ever built, the USA’s Iowa has been transformed into a half-damaged scale figure for fans to enjoy!
▲Golden blond hair, a stunning body and a playful wink!
Not to mention the ship parts that give the figure some really impressive volume! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
Iowa has previously been released as both a Nendoroid and a figma with equally impressive ship parts included with both!
The “half-damaged” figure lives up to its name with various little details all over to convey the damage! (´□｀｡)
▲ A chunk of metal taken out from the turret! (・∀・)
▲ The damage is not only sculpted, but also painted onto the design!
▲ Even the inside of parts that broken parts can
be seen when you look through the holes!♪
Of course the ship parts are only one side to this figure!! She also has a very beautiful body for fans to enjoy as well!! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ
Her body looks so very soft and squeezable!! Just looking at her makes me reflexively want to reach and and touch her! (/ω＼)
The torn appearance of her mini-skirt and other damaged parts of her outfit have all been sculpted in lovely detail! Be sure to take a look from all sorts of angles once she joins your collection!
If you look up at her impressive bust from a lower angle you get a good feel for just how big and heavy the Iowa Battleship was!! ♥
Another area that I personally really like are her legs!!
Just look at the way the torn stockings are pressing against her skin!! It has been captured so beautifully! I want to run my finger along them and feel the bumps along the way!! (*´ｪ`*)
Be sure to add the USA Battleship to your collection!
Preorders are open until the 12th October 2017 at 12:00JST!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at BROCCOLI’s… Kantai Collection -KanColle-: Shigure Kai-II!★
Kantai Collection -KanColle- is a simulation game where you take the role of an Admiral and build up your fleet of characters based on famous destroyers, cruisers, aircraft carriers and more! The series has also been made into an anime series and movie, and an arcade version of the game is also currently available in arcades!
From the game that started the battleship and anthropomorphic boom comes a 1/8th scale figure of the second Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, Shigure Kai-II, based on an official original illustration! The figure comes complete with an interchangeable crying face to fully complete the original illustration.
“Stop it! That hurts!”
A scale figure of the Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, Shigure Kai-II based on an official original illustration!
The single barreled cannon in her left hand has a steam of smoke coming out from it!
The smoke makes use of translucent parts creating a nice accent to the figure while also bringing out the atmosphere of the series! From the back you also get a nice contrast between her heavy ship parts and her soft looking skin!
Plus just look at the worried expression on her face!
The expression together with the way she is grasping at her chest shows she is rather uneasy! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)
Which is exactly why I am here to help protect her!!
The right side of her outfit has been damaged with a large tear showing off the bare skin of her left flank! (/・ω＼)
If you look close you can see the bumps on her skin from her rib cage in the opening, and if you look even closer you’ll even get a peek at her belly button!
(If you’re having trouble seeing it in the photo, here is a closer shot!)
* The above has the red ribbon part removed for a closer look, however this ribbon will not be removable on the final product.
The back of her knees are also sculpted beautifully!
The sculpt looks so very realistic even this close up!
The complexion and and ups and downs of the sculpt all come together to make for a lovely appearance!
Along with her lovely body, the sculpt of her ship parts and outfit are also very nicely done! Be sure to take a nice close look at all of the details once she joins your collection! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))
▲ Take a look from any angle you like! ♪
Also take note of the figure’s base! ☆
It is based on the compass from the game!
The areas she is standing on have cracks where the glass has broken!
Plus, the figure also comes with an alternate crying face part in order to fully recreate the original illustration that the figure was based on! ε=(｡・д・｡)
I always love getting a second face option with scale figures!
Simply select the expression you prefer, or even switch it out once every few days for a different feel! Be sure to add the damaged destroyer to your collection!
