Nendoroid Daichi Sawamura (Haikyu!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I recently have an uncontrollable urge to eat ramen! I’m generally more of a tonkotsu ramen person, but sometimes I’ll go for the more lightly flavored shoyu ramen.

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

From the popular volleyball manga series with an equally popular anime, ‘Haikyu!!’, comes a Nendoroid of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club’s captain and reliable receiver – Daichi Sawamura! He comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a serious expression for when he is in a match as well as the malicious smile he had when he shook hands with Nekoma High’s volleyball team’s captain Kuroo.

The Nendoroid allows you to recreate a number of memorable scenes from the series and also comes with a volleyball as well as a special base made in the image of a volleyball court. He also comes with the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club Support Flag that reads “Jump!”. Be sure to display him with the previously released characters in the series and enjoy all sorts of different situations in Nendoroid size!

“We’ll never win if we don’t believe we can.”

The reliable captain of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club who always keeps the teams spirits up, Daichi Sawamura is joining the adorable Nendoroid series! He is in fact the 13th Nendoroid to be released!!

⇒ HAIKYU! PRODUCTS

But let’s get back to Daichi-san!

Like most of the Nendoroids in the series so far he is sculpted wearing his volleyball uniform, but as he is the captain he also comes with his sports jersey with the school symbol to hang on his shoulders! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ The two guardians of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club

Note that all the previously released team captains have also comes with the jersey over their shoulders: Nendoroid Toru Oikawa, Nendoroid Tetsuro Kuroo and Nendoroid Kotaro Bokuto!

This is how he looks from the back!

▲ The sleeves blowing behind him are perfect!

Moving on, let’s take a look at his face plates!

Along with the gallant smile above he comes with two other options! The first of which is a serious expression which is perfect for displaying him during a match! ε- (´ー`*)

Carefully eyeing the ball to ensure he hits it just right! He does look like he is enjoying himself though! Plus as you may have noticed he comes with a squatting lower body which allows you to display him receiving the ball with all his strength!

If we take a look from behind…

You can get a little peek at his back!

The figure stands just 10cm in height but the soft appearance of uniform as it moves around to reveal his back has been faithfully included!

The confident expression together with his crossed-arm pose also makes for a very nice display!

▲Somehow he seems cuter when you look down from a higher angle!

You’ll also notice that as usual he comes with a special rectangular  volleyball court case as well as a volleyball for in-match scenes, but that’s not all!

He also comes with a Karasuno High School Volleyball Club Support Flag!

A lovely addition by the figure’s planner, Moe-P!

The flag ready to cheer his team to victory has been beautifully sculpted to give it that cloth-like appearance! The kanji reads “Tobe” which can mean both “Jump” and “Fly” – jump high and fly to victory! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

But anyway, let’s move on to this third and final face plate!

A Malicious Smile!

This is perfect to recreate the hand-shaking scene with Kuroo!  They may look like they are smiling but you can feel the tension between the captains… just look at the tense mark on his hand!

But at the same time if you pose him with this expression and his own team mates it can easily be taken as just a normal smiling face!

Nendoroid Tae Hanazono (BanG Dream!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Chilled ‘oshiruko’ sweet red bean soup is rather tasty! I always loved chilled desserts when we start moving toward the Summer months!  >*nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

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

Tae started learning to play the guitar from primary school which allowed her to become quite proficient from a young age!

Along with the blue guitar, she also has a tiny blue pick! ♪

The guitar itself has also been shrunk down to Nendoroid size but still retains its unique shape and details! ☆

Hana Midorikawa (Prison School)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

When I was in school I hardly ever visited the school infirmary, but now that school is over the whole idea of a “school infirmary” seems like such a distant location that it has a certain mystique to it! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at ASPIRE’s 1/7th scale…

Hana Midorikawa!

From the popular series “Prison School” comes a 1/7th scale figure of the secretary of the Underground Student Council – Hana Midorikawa, also known as Hana-chan. The figure is based on the pose that was used on an illustration card given out as a store purchase bonus with the 8th volume of the manga.

The figure features a carefully detailed school infirmary bed as a base. Hana-chan is posed lying on the bed in the middle of changing her clothes with a pure and innocent smile on her face, as she reveals her soft thighs, bottom and beloved striped panties. Be sure to add this cute and charming figure of Hana-chan to your collection!

* Figure Length Approx. 145mm (225mm with base)
* Approximately 10 of this item will be on sale prior to release at the Summer Wonder Festival 2017.

The student loved by all! A 1/7th scale figure of Hana-chan!!

The easy-going karate champion and secretary of the Underground Student Council – Hana Midorikawa has been transformed into a 1/7th scale figure!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

The figure is based on the pose that was used on an illustration card given out as a store purchase bonus with the 8th volume of the manga, which features her in the middle of getting changed while lying on a bed! There are so many things that make this figure interesting, but perhaps the most unique is the pose!

Lying on a bed with her pants at her knees!

The pose makes you picture the motion that was taken just seconds before the figure was sculpted!

The details of the bed that she uses as her base are also amazing!

A rather firm looking white mattress with a sheet on top which is filled with creases! If this was a hotel bed I’m sure we should see a perfectly smooth pure white sheet, but the fact that it is all creased and a slightly blue color brings out that ‘school infirmary’ feeling very nicely! (・∀・)

From the side you can see how the mattress sinks down! ♪

The rather large pants as well as the bony look of her ankles as they come out the other end have all been sculpted amazingly! (∩・∀・)∩

Plus then we also have this facial expression!

She looks so cute, pure and innocent! (/ω＼)

Those shining eyes, blushed cheeks and tightly closed lips! Her iconic hairstyle with a lovely gradient paint job has also been faithfully included, and the creases in her blazer bring out even more attention to detail! For some reason when I look at this smile I don’t think of a girl removing her pants on a bed, but rather someone enjoying blowing some bubbles in a park!

You can also make use of the bed frame to create some rather teasing photos like this! ♥


▲Looking from this angle makes it seem like
you are sneaking up behind her to get a peek

Be sure to add the secretary of the Underground Student Council to your collection!

The 1/7th Scale…
Hana Midorikawa!

She is currently up for preorder! ♥

Wilhelmina: Swimsuit Ver. (High School Fleet)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/8th scale…
Wilhelmina: Swimsuit Ver.!

“From the popular anime series ‘High School Fleet’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Wilhelmina, the Admiral Graf Spee’s vice-captain!

The figure is based on the cover illustration of the June 2016 edition of Megami MAGAZINE, and features Wilhelmina wearing a sexy swimsuit in a simple yet charming pose with careful detail given to the appearance of her body. Mina is known for her lively personality, but this figure captures her in a more gentler, ladylike pose for fans to enjoy by their side. ”

Hochmut kommt vor dem fall!
(pride comes before a fall)

A swimsuit figure of the Admiral Graf Spee’s vice-captain, Wilhelmina Braunschweig Ingenohl Friedeburg! ♡

Her lovely long, blond hair, the jacket gently blowing in the wind and the soft looking skin has all been sculpted in intricate detail!

This is actually the third figure that GSC has released from High School Fleet, following on from the two previously announced Nendoroids! (∩・∀・)∩

– Nendoroid Akeno Misaki –

▲Released January 2017

 

– Nendoroid Wilhelmina –

▲ Releases 25th May 2017

But let’s get back to the scale figure! ♪

The blond hair and blue eyes with a slightly bashful look on her face as her right hand twiddles with her hair… a rather simple figure but the amount of personality it has it still absolutely stunning! ♥

Not to mention that her well-endowed body has been very faithfully captured for fans to enjoy by their side! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Not just her chest, but the ups-and-downs of her collarbone and stomach area are all so beautifully sculpted!

In her left hand she holds the captain’s hat she received from Captain Thea!

Even the inside is fully detailed! (/ω・＼)

It’s also quite hard to find an angle where you will get a good look at the front of the hat, but even so the sculpt of the emblem is stunning! ♪

▲ This angle also gives a nice look at the little ribbon tie of her swimsuit! ♡

Although she is wearing a swimsuit, the jacket she is wearing over it actually covers up a lot of her bare skin, but with that said you can still get a good feel for the way the swimsuit squeezes her soft skin! It just tempts you to feel it for yourself!

▲ The back of her knees are also lovely! (・∀・)

Last but not least a closer look at her cute little feet! ☆

The dainty little feet with a slightly glossy paint on the nails that really make them stand out beautifully! Not to mention the cute shoes!

The bony look around her ankle and the detail of her Achilles tendon have also been carefully included, so be sure to take a nice good look, and feel, once she joins your collection! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

The 1/8th scale…
Wilhelmina: Swimsuit Ver.!

Up for preorder from tomorrow!

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company website for more details! Also note this product will be made at Good Smile Company’s figure factory in Tottori, Japan! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

In other words, Wilhelmina: Swimsuit Ver. will be “Made in Japan”!

Futaba Sakura (Persona 5)

Hello everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here!

I can’t imagine what it must be like to be smart enough with computers to be a hacker! Back when I was in high school I had almost no connection to computers whatsoever! (Nowadays it seems pretty much impossible to not use them!)

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at Phat! Company’s…
Futaba Sakura!

“Risking our lives to stop rotten adults!
That’s why we’re Phantom Thieves!”

From the role-playing game ‘Persona 5’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the genius hacker who joins the Phantom Thieves – Futaba Sakura! She has been sculpted in careful detail wearing her winter jacket. The figure comes with interchangeable parts which allow you to pose her with the jacket removed, her smartphone in one hand with the other holding Morgana in front of her. Simply select the pose you prefer for your collection!

Manufacturer: Phat! Company
Category: 1/7th Scale Figure
Release Date: 2017/12
Price: ¥12,000 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: Mitsuru Saito (Phat!)
Paintwork: Sakura

Futaba Sakura from Persona 5 has been transformed into a lovely 1/7th scale figure in a rather simple pose based on her illustration from the game! Her iconic headphones and jacket, elegant legs and contrasting tough-looking boots all come together to capture her perfectly!

Not to mention that sidelong glance!

If you match up the angle of her glance to the front you can pose her exactly as she looked in the profile illustration, but if you instead look at her head-on you can enjoy this slightly sidelong glance as if she is avoiding looking into your eyes!! A quick change in angle can create a completely different experience in the world of figures!!!

The creation of the figure was also closely supervised by Persona 5’s character designer, Shigenori Soejima!

Just look at the lovely fluffy part of her jacket! I want to feel it!!! (*´ω`*)

Caution: While jacket may appear fluffy, it is not, in fact, fluffy. It is hard, like the rest of the figure.

Another thing to note about the jacket is the detail put into the  sculpt of the strings and creases! If you look from the right angle you’ll also notice that her lips are not just painted on but are sculpted to stick out a little to faithfully capture the slight duck-face pose! ヽ(´∀｀。)ﾉ･ﾟ

AKG Headphones! ☆ 

You can see they are official goods thanks to the high quality and AKG logo at the back! You can also see that each and every strand of her hair has been carefully considered with this sculpt making the hair look so lovely and silky!

▼Scroll up and down to enjoy these legs!

Look at her thighs, then the boots, thighs, boots, thighs,  boots… It’s Neverending Happiness!!

The bare skin of her thighs looks so very soft and touchable as you would expect from a beautiful young girl… compared to her tough, stylish looking boots makes for such a wonderful contrast!

But there is still more to this figure as she comes with some interchangeable parts which let you display her with….

＼ Morgana! ／

A quick switch of parts lets you pose her with Morgana in one arm! Lucky Kitty!

It also switches her into a pose without the jacket and with her smartphone in her other hand! Thanks to the jacket being removed you also get special access to some previously hidden areas!!

The lacing of her short pants is one thing…

▲ Morgana’s tail is also rather cute! ♡

…but no jacket also lets you see her cute little bottom!

That bottom looks very fit for someone who spends most of her time at home! Simply select the pose that you think suits her better! (*´ω`*)

Phat!’s 1/7th Scale Figure
Futaba Sakura!

She will be up for preorder from later today!

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will be open until 15th June 2017 (Thu) at 12:00JST! Don’t miss out!

Nendoroid Kanan Matsuura (LoveLive!Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can’t even remember the last time I played by the ocean. That said, I can’t swim so most of my time at the beach is spent collecting shells.

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

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Aqours member Kanan Matsuura wearing her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’!
She comes with both a cheerful face plate as well as an embarrassed face plate for when others make fun of her! A selection of different parts are also included which allow you to pose her in different dance poses from the opening theme of the anime series! Be sure to enjoy her together with the other members of Aqours!

“Let’s… hug?”

The third year student at Uranohoshi Girls’ High School and Chika’s childhood friend, Kanan Matsuura is joining the Nendoroids! This marks the 8th Nendoroid of Aquors members – just one more to go! ♡

Her iconic ponytail has been faithfully included and is attached with a Nendoroid joint allowing for all sorts of different nuances while posing! ♪

▲ The rather short jacket gives you a peek at some bare skin! ♡

Just like the previous Aquors members Kanan is wearing her ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’ outfit, but unlike the others her outfit has a cute opening that shows off her belly button! (/ω・＼)

▲ The figure stands just 100mm in height! That little belly button is tiny!

She also comes with various interchangeable hand parts to recreate the dance scenes from the opening theme! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

▲ I WANT to hug her!

She also comes with a special hand part to display her pointing!

▲ It really makes her look so cheerful and energetic! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

Moving on to her second face plate!

A rather lovable embarrassed expression! ♪

The rather scornful look in her eyes and upset eyebrows also make it look a bit like an upset expression, but the blush on her cheeks shows she just trying to hide her embarrassment!  (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

▲ I can just imagine who is at the end of this gaze!

You can also make it look a bit like an assertive pose if you change the pose a little bit! ♪

Simply find the pose that you think suits best! ♡

Be sure to add the cool and composed Aquors member to your collection!
Nendoroid Kanan Matsuura!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♡

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a special Stage Base & Small and Large Nendoroid Base Extension Parts as a bonus! ☆

*Only a single stage base is included. Both extension parts are included.

 

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

Nendoroid Serval (Kemono Friends)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have recently been watching cute animal videos to wind down and relax. I love the one with the raccoon trying to clean his candy floss!

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

From the popular anime series “Kemono Friends” comes a Nendoroid of the serval cat, Serval! She comes with three face plates including a cheerful smile, a boasting expression as well as a shouting face for her to let her friends know that she won’t eat them!

Optional parts include a lined background sheet for more zealous poses, as well as the “Boss” also known as Lucky Beast who is included to display by her side! Enjoy recreating all sorts of fun and amazing poses from Kemono Friends by adding the big-eared Serval-chan to your collection!

“We’re friends now, so next time we meet call me Serval-chan!”

Welcome to Japari Park!

From the anime series that became a huge hit “Kemono Friends” comes a Nendoroid of the Serval-chan the serval cat! Some of you may remember that we started preorders for her while she was still an unpainted prototype, but now she is fully painted and still up for preorder so be sure to take another look!ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Her lovely big ears, tight waist, spotted skirt, tail and more have all been adorably converted into Nendoroid size! ★

▲ The fluffy look at the end of the tail! (*´ｪ`*)

The impressive volume at the back of her hair has also been preserved on the Nendoroid! The entire design is a little different to most Nendoroids and focuses on sticking to the appearance from the anime series!

▲ Even the spotted ribbon on the back is faithfully included!

“This is Japari Park! I’m Serval!“

She comes with a couple of interchangeable arm parts which allow to place her in various memorable poses from the series!

Along with the cheerful face above she comes with two other face plates to enjoy! The first of which is this one!

The proud expression she has when showing Kaban-chan around the Savanna area! The sharp eyes and eyebrows make her look all serious which somehow just makes Serval-chan look cuter! ♥

She also comes with thumbs-up parts allowing you to recreate the “It’s a race to see who will get there first” scene! (๑• ̀д•́ )

▲ You have to imagine the cliff behind her!

Moving onto her third face plate which is a shouting expression! (∩・∀・)∩

“I won’t eat you!!“

This expression can be used together with the special lined background sheet to really get Serval-chan’s point across! A special attachment part is included to place the sheet behind her like above, which also of course means you can use it with other characters as well!

Lucky Beast is also included!★

“Leave it to me.“

His tail can even be wagged left and right allowing for slightly different nuances! His cute fluffy form has been painted with a lovely gradient effect! (´□｀｡)

▲ I can just imagine the sound of his cute footsteps!

Plus Nendoroid Kaban has also been announced!

I can’t wait to display her together with Serval-chan and Lucky! Stay tuned for updates! (/ω＼)

Nendoroid Racing Miku 2017 Ver.

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Just as I thought it was warming up we suddenly have a cold spell. I don’t what what to wear in the morning any more!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Racing Miku 2017 Ver.!♥

The official character of the Hatsune Miku GT Project ‘Racing Miku’ is joining the Nendoroids in her 2017 outfit!

The 2017 Racing Miku designed by popular illustrator Tony is based on the image of a fairy, and has been carefully converted into Nendoroid size for fans to enjoy in their collection. She comes complete with a bouquet to support the team, a Nendoroid car for her to ride in as well as a Nendoroid-sized trophy to celebrate the team’s win during the first race at the Okayama International Circuit.

The official character of the 2017 Hatsune Miku GT Project!

The lucky number Nendoroid No. 777 is none other than the 2017 edition of the Hatsune Miku GT Project’s official mascot character: Racing Miku!

The adorable fairy-like outfit for the 2017 ver. was designed by none other than the popular illustrator Tony! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

She is in such a cute pose with one leg up and her hands forming double peace signs! Plus we are also getting a new illustration by Tony in support of each of the races! (灬ºωº灬)


 

But anyway, let’s get back to the Nendoroid! Here she is from the back! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The somewhat mechanical looking near-futuristic wing design has been adorably shrunk down to Nendoroid size! The twin-tails with a green to yellow gradient also make use of semi-transparent material allowing you to enjoy the way light shines through them! ♪

Her skirt also makes use of the translucent parts making the frills look lovely and light! ♪

Also note that the very transparent area around her stomach is faithfully included and shown by the fact that you can see her belly-button sculpted on the design! ♥

She also comes with a selection of interchangeable hand parts allowing you to enjoy all sorts of original poses as well! (σ・∀・)σ

▲ Just by changing the hand and arms makes for a rather different feel!

Now for a first look at the other optional parts!

A cute smiling face plate and bouquet parts!

This face plate has a much more gentle feel compared to the standard face plate, creating a more mature appearance that matches the bouquet very nicely! ♡

▲ She has a much more refined appearance like this!

If you look close at the bouquet you can see the various different flowers are each sculpted one-by-one to form the bunch! ♪

The bouquet is given to the winner together with the winner’s trophy, so it is included with the Nendoroid in hopes that it will help spur on the team to continue winning more races in the future!

But that’s not all!

She also comes with a ridable Nendoroid Car!

▲ Her twin-tails trailing behind her to show of the speed of the car! ☆

Note that the flower design on the back of the car, as well as the numbering are all from the actual car taking place in the Super GT races!

▲ From the GOODSMILE RACING Official Site / Gallery Page

In addition to the items above, the Nendoroid will also comes with a tiny replica of the trophy won when the team took first place at the Okayama International circuit earlier this year! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ The next race will take place on the weekend of the 20th May at Autopolis!

Add the fairy of the racing circuit to your collection!

Fiona: Honjou Raita ver. (BORDER BREAK)

Hello everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! I hope everyone had a good Golden Week… even if you’re not in Japan!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Vertex’s…

Fiona: Honjou Raita ver.!

A figure of the system operator based on an illustration by Honjou Raita!

From the popular arcade game that has been running since 2009, “BORDER BREAK”, comes a figure of the well-known system operator Fiona based on an illustration by Honjou Raita!

She is posed with a gentle smile on her face as she holds and stands upon the large “Tear Downer” sword that is normally used by the Blast Runner mecha. Fiona is the idol of many male characters in the series, and this figure shows exactly why! Be sure to add her to your collection!

This product includes a serial code that can be used in the game to unlock a “Deluxe Seed Assortment” and “Emblem: Warning Label”.

Manufacturer: Vertex
Category: 1/7th Scale Figure
Release Date: 2017/7
Price: ¥17,000 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: Futatsu Shitoo

 

■ Serial Code Information
*Serial code is only redeemable in Japan.
*Serial code will expire on the 31st January 2018. Code will not be redeemable after expiry.

 

Product Page: Fiona: Honjou Raita ver.

A lovely 1/7th scale figure of everyone’s idol Fiona based on an original illustration by Honjou Raita! Not to mention that she is posed holding the magic sword Tear Downer, a sight that was never even in the game itself!

Just one photo is more than enough to get your senses all fired-up!

(*´▽｀*) “Vertex… Thank you!!”

She also looks stunning from the back, with her outfit fluttering outward and each of the strands of her hair flowing around her creating a lovely, dynamic appearance.

The petal-like shapes that make up her coat have been sculpted and painted so beautifully, and the shape leaves open little gaps to get a nice look at her legs too!

Let’s take a closer look…

So much detail!! I don’t know where to start! 

That enticing face with a slight smile, the eye-catching cleavage, the nicely toned waist and tight-fitting skirt with intricate creases… there is simply no end to the enjoyment that this figure has to bring!! A Never Ending Figure!

The flower shapes on her hips are also sculpted onto the design that sticks out above the dress itself for a more three-dimensional effect that adds even more variety to the design!

In her hands she holds a file carefully labelled “No peeking ♡“!

▲ Her profile is also that of a true beauty! ♡

The green areas on the magic sword are semi-transparent which creates a beautiful appearance as it lets the light through!☆

▲ Looking from a lower angle captures the movement of her hair and outfit even better!

The coat can also be removed!

▲ Removing the coat allows you to enjoy even more of her slender body!

Without the coat the overall body of the figure has a more simplistic appearance, which helps make the beautiful flow of her hair even more noticeable! (*´ω`*)

▲The curls in her hair are so very charming! ♡

Her large chest contrasting with her slim arm!

▲ From this angle she looks like someone heading into battle! (*’ω’*)

Her hips… and that bottom! Delicious!

▲ The tight look of the stockings on her thighs too!

Last but not least!

I just want to dive in!

 

Be sure to add the admired Fiona to your collection! ♡
