Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: Maiko Ver. (Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We just had a lovely set of consecutive holidays called Golden Week here in Japan! Although now the next public holiday here in Japan is all the way in July…

But no holidays means more figures! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: Maiko Ver.! ♡

From Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie comes a Nendoroid of Mami Tomoe dressed in a gorgeous maiko outfit. She comes with two face plates including a smiling expression and a face with closed eyes.

Bebe is also included in a pose imitating Mami’s, and she also comes with both an open and closed folding fan for various poses. Interchangeable parts to pose her sitting are also included which you can use together with the face with closed eyes to create an elegant bowing pose. Enjoy Mami-san is her gorgeous outfit right in your collection!

A Nendoroid of Mami Tomoe dressed as a gorgeous Maiko!

An all new adorable Nendoroid of Mami-san dressed up in a beautiful kimono filled with plum blossom prints! This is the third in a series of Nendoroids that feature the Puella Magi dressed up in more Japanese-style outfits.

Nendoroid Madoka Kaname: Maiko Ver.

Released in July 2013

Nendoroid Homura Akemi: Haregi Ver.

Planned for release in July 2017

Just like the last two figures in the series, Mami’s outfit has been beautifully converted into Nendoroid size with a wonderfully detailed kimono, sash and hair accessories! ε=(｡・д・｡)

The twirly parts of her hair are fitted with Nendoroid joints allowing you to create various different nuances.

She also comes with interchangeable parts which allow you to place her in this pose holding her sleeve up!

▲ Such a lovely elegant appearance for Mami-san! (/ω＼)

As you can see in the above, she also comes with a folding fan which can be held out like the above photo, or instead placed over her mouth like below to emphasize the blush in her cheeks! ☆

The face plate is the same as the photos above, but just by covering up the mouth it feels so very different! ♪

But that’s not all! Mami-san also comes with a little figure of Bebe!

▲ The mischievous expression is so cute!

The cute little cape has also been faithfully included all the way to the illustration on the back! The overall pose is kind of copying Mami’s pose and even has a cute yellow folding fan! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ Bebe will come with her own stand, different to the one you see here!

Here the two of them look posed performing a dance together! ♪

▲ I can just hear the classic Japanese instruments playing!

Plus she even comes with special sitting parts that allow you to pose her performing a cute yet graceful bow with three fingers to the ground.

▲ The closed-eyes face plate makes for a very gentle scene.

Even while sitting you can still get a good look at the pattern on her kimono!

▲ The way the kimono flattens outward looks lovely! ♪

You can also use the standard face plate with these sitting parts! ♥

If you place her in this pose in your entrance hall she will be there to greet you when you come home each and every day!

Be sure to add the adorable Mami-san to your collection and find the pose that you think suits your collection best!

▲ My personal favorite! Posed in the middle of a graceful dance!

A bright kimono and a cute Mami-san to add to any collection!
Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: Maiko Ver.!

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♡

Nendoroid Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter) (Fate/Grand Order)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can’t believe it’s already May! Just one more month and we are already half way through 2017! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter)!

From the popular smartphone game “Fate/Grand Order” comes a Nendoroid of the Avenger-class servant, Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter)! She comes with three face plates including a fearless smile, an arrogant glare as well as an embarrassed expression.

Her iconic flag is included together with her black sword, flame effect parts as well as a special sheet to pose her preforming an “Extra Attack”. Enjoy recreating all sorts of scenes from the game in Nendoroid size!

“Applaud! Applaud for our hatred!!”

From Fate/Grand Order comes a cute Nendoroid of the proud and somewhat extremist Avenger-class servant – Jeanne d’Arc (Alter). ★

Her black armor has been sculpted with such intricate detail! The red areas of the outfit are also faithfully preserved with a gradient effect.

For a little figure that stands just 100mm in height her chest is rather impressive in size! Not to mention the little peek at bare skin on her leg in the photo above! Who said Nendoroids can’t be sexy!

Her black sword can be displayed sheathed away, but can also be drawn and displayed ready for combat… plus it even comes with flame effect parts for more intense combat scenes! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The fiery sword shows off her strength as one of the most powerful servants in the game! ★

▲ The flames use translucent parts and a gradient effect! So pretty!

Along with the standard confident smile you see above, she also comes with this haughty glaring expression! (/ω＼)

The shadows under her eyes make it look like a rather scornful expression that really make her look like she is ready to avenge!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

▲ The glaring expression looks great with the sword drawn! ☆

She also comes with another optional part which suits this expression really well… An Extra Attack Effect Sheet!

▲ The sheet comes with it’s own little stand!

This allows you to pose the extra attack flying through the air into her opponent just like in the game!

▲ Guest Appearance: Nendoroid Ruler/Jeanne d’Arc

By the way, as I’m sure you’ve noticed her iconic flag is included in a huge size! Here is a size comparison with mt iPhone6!

▲ Not normally a size you would associate with Nendoroids!

Moving onto her third face plate…

An Embarrassed Expression! ♡

The contrast between the darker glaring expression and the cuteness in this expression is almost too much for me!! (*´﹃｀*)

In addition, the Nendoroid features joints in the shoulders and elbows allowing for much more mobility! This is great for combat scenes, but also helps to create a more embarrassed looking pose as well!! ♥

▲ Those troubled eyebrows and rosy cheeks!!

Enjoy proud poses, combat poses and even her cuter side! ☆
Nendoroid Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter)!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 9th May 2017!

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

threezero’s Shin Action Figure (Dorohedoro)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this Dorohedoro action figure from threezero:

Shin!

*The blog contains some rather grotesque images, so if you’re faint of heart turn back now!*

Shin is an elite Magic-User and cleaner for the largest magic group in the Magic User World, the The En Family. Although he has powerful magic that allows him cut anything up into pieces, he generally prefers to fight in melee combat with a hammer. His most characteristic feature is the heart-shaped mask over his head.

From the dark fantasy manga that has been serialized since 2000 comes an action figure of Shin! The figure has been sculpted by the renown Masaki Apsy in 1/6th scale which makes Shin stand approximately 32.5cm in height, showing off his impressive height and large build. He comes with two interchangeable heads – one with his head masked and another showing his face with a blank expression. He also comes with glasses which can be work on the normal face.

The tailored suit jacket, suit pants, dress shirt, necktie, and T-shirt are all made from fabric, and all have a worn, used appearance to them. He also comes with a hammer (with a chain and hook) as a weapon, as well as three pairs of interchangeable hand parts. Various pieces of Cross-Eyes sliced up by Shin’s magic are also included, as well as two black garbage bags to place the pieces in!

An action figure of the cleaner ‘Shin’ from the dark fantasy manga series Dorohedoro!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

 

Let’s start off with a look at the more mild parts of the figure! That said anyone who hates seeing stitched skin will even find this area quite grotesque!

The sculpting of this figure was done by none other Masaki Apsy famous for his work on the figma series!

Just looking at the one hand you can see the attention to detail! Not only on the stitching but the back of the hand with all the little ups-and-downs from the veins and bones!

The shoes also have the stitches ad laces very carefully sculpted onto the figure creating a very realistic appearance! The dirty and damaged effect brings out the realism even more!!

His outfit is made from real fabric, but the body and limbs are all a complete action figure allowing you to enjoy all sorts of different poses!

Anyway, I think that’s enough of the more gentle stuff, let’s move on!

Here we have Shin-senpai!

The heart-shaped mask he wears as well as a Cross-Eyes member torn apart while alive is also included for him to hold! In the other hand he holds his trusty hammer as he stands wearing a rather contrasting formal suit and tie!

This is actually the second figure from the series following on from the previously released Caiman! ☆

▲ Caiman was released in November 2016

Caiman stands around 360mm  in height while Shin is about 325mm showing the size difference between them! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

Just like the Caiman figure, Shin comes with joints included in his shoulder and elbow allowing for an amazing amount of movement! You can easily recreate certain scenes from the series or even create your very own original poses! ☆

The face on the back of the mask has also been included in gruesome detail! (´□｀｡)

From the back the dirty appearance of his suit is very clear, but perhaps what stands out the most in this photo is the spinal cord of the head he carries…!

The head is from a member of the Cross-Eyes that had his body unfortunately pulled apart while he was alive… which is why you can see his eyes are still shiny with a glossy paint! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

▲ The teeth and gums are so detailed…!

The head comes with two different hair parts – one for being held by Shin and another one to simply display lying by his side!

He also comes with two black garbage bags so you can wrap the head parts away in them if you like!

He also comes with a slightly less grotesque option! His unmasked head is also included!! ♡

▲ The wrinkles on his face are so impressive!

In addition, you can also remove his glasses for a different look!

▲ He looks a little younger without the glasses! (/ω＼)

You can find many more photos over on the GSC product page!

Add the Elite Magic-User to your collection!
The Action Figure Shin!

He is currently up for preorder!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

There is also a limited edition version which comes with the following items:

▼ Alternate Head Part

▼ Bonus Body Parts

▼This can be combined with the head part like so! ♪

 

Be sure to consider adding him to your collection! ☆

If you are in Japan, you can preorder this product from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP up until the 2nd August 2017 at 21:00JST! Make sure you don’t miss out!

Those who are not in Japan can instead look to purchase this product as well as it’s limited edition from the threezero store: http://www.threezerohk.com/

Berserker/Tamamo Cat (Fate/Grand Order)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Max Factory’s 1/7th scale…
Berserker/Tamamo Cat! ★

From the popular smartphone game ‘Fate/Grand Order’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the Berserker class servant, Tamamo Cat! She has been sculpted wearing her lovely bright red kimono.

Her cute facial expression and pose has been captured faithfully, with the contrasting bare shoulders giving the figure a bit of a sexy side as well! The hands and tail has also been carefully crafted to capture the fluffy-looking appearance as realistically as possible! Be sure to add the adorable Tamamo Cat to your Chaldea!

“Master! It’s time for walkies! You bring the collar!”

From Fate/Grand Order comes a figure of one of the members of the Tamamo Nine – Tamamo Cat! ♥

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Her fluffy ears, puffy hands and feet with soft looking paws, the rather revealing yet still cute Japanese-style outfit and that cute expression filled with happiness and curiosity have all captured the cute yet innocent charm of her character for fans to enjoy by their side!

The large ponytail and bushy tail have some impressive volume to them! 

Perhaps the most important thing about Tamamo Cat is her animal parts, and they have been faithfully included with the same impressive size that they had in the original illustration! The fluffy parts even look like they would be fluffy to the touch! (ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

▲The contrast between her innocent face and her sexy body is so delicious!

The sole of the paws as well as each of the giant toes have all been sculpted with a soft, squishy appearance! It’s hard to believe that the figure is made from a solid, hard material!

▲ You can’t help but want to squeeze it! (ﾉ)・ω・(ヾ)

Moving a little further up the legs we also see she is wearing over-the-knee socks, and the paintwork has been carefully adjusted to show which parts of the material are stretched out showing more skin color, and the less stretched areas that remain black! ★

▲ Such amazing paintwork!

The sculpt and paintwork all come together nicely to differentiate the different textures of her outfit and also make her skin look so lovely and soft looking! Not to mention all the lovely furry looking bits! And the shiny bell!!

▲ The details inside her sleeve has also been faithfully preserved!

There really are an endless number of highlights on the figure, but perhaps my favorite is all the care skin on her back! Just look at those lovely shoulder blades!

The ability to enjoy the figure from all sorts of different angles is what sets it apart from the original illustration! ♥

Be sure to enjoy the cute Tamamo Cat in your collection!
Berserker/Tamamo Cat!

She is currently up for preorder! ฅ(=✧ω✧=)ฅ

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 8th June 2017 (Thu) at 12:00JST. Don’t miss out! There are also many other FGO products currently up for preorder so consider purchasing them together!

Megumi Tokoro: Enchanting Sexy Dance Ver. (THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE!)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Phat! Company’s 1/8th scale…
Megumi Tokoro: Enchanting Sexy Dance Ver.!

From the popular idol production game “THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE!!” comes a 1/8th scale figure of Megumi Tokoro based on the “Enchanting Sexy Dance” illustration from the game!

The figure captures the sexy and dynamic pose from the original illustration for fans to enjoy from any angle they please! The glittering accessories and outfit together with her radiant smile and winking expression create a figure that is not to be missed!

“What do you think producer? I’m super gorgeous, right?”

From THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE!! comes a 1/8th scale figure of the considerate high-school girl with a rather stunning body – Megumi Tokoro! ♥

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Let’s start off with a quick spin! ♪

Isn’t she beautiful?!

The dynamic feel of her hair and the fabric of her outfit as she twists her hips has been faithfully captured on the figure. The outstretched arm and extended fingers are also lovely!

It’s one of those figures that is just asking to be looked at from all sorts of different angles!  ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

A closer look at her hair accessory! ♪

▲ Makes use of translucent parts for a transparent appearance! ☆

The sexy dancer outfit she wears is filled with little accessories and patterns that have all been carefully sculpted and painted for a very pleasing appearance! ε=(｡・д・｡)

If we zoom in much closer…

You can tell that even her necklace and earrings are swinging with the motion of her dance! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

While they are just a small part of the motion conveyed by the figure, all the smaller parts come together to create the dynamic pose of the complete figure! You can also place her at a slightly lower angle so she is looking up at you just like on the original illustration for the card in the game! ★

▲ Careful sculpting all the way to her fingertips!

But let’s not ignore perhaps the most eye-catching details of the figure!! Just look at the soft, sexy look of the curves of her body!

That twist in her hips, the gentle slope of her stomach, the curves from her arm to her chest and the impressive bosom!! It really looks like her skin would be soft to the touch!! (灬ºωº灬)

Speaking of soft, also take note of her legs!

The lace-up high heels give a rather grown-up appearance to her cute little feet! The way the lace squeezes her calves brings out that delicious soft look even more!  *nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

The curves from her knee up to her thighs are also so alluring!

▲ The layers of her outfit are all individually sculpted with a light, flowing appearance!

Although it is quite difficult to see, if you find an angle where you can see her back it has also been sculpted in lovely detail! It also shows the twist in her hips very realistically! ε- (´ー`*)

▲ Be sure to take a peek past her lovely long hair! ♪

Be enchanted with this sexy dancer by your side!
Megumi Tokoro: Enchanting Sexy Dance Ver.!

She is currently up for preorder! ♡

Saber/Attila (Fate/Grand Order)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

From the popular smartphone game ‘Fate/Grand Order’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the Servant-class servant who wields Photon Ray, the War God’s Sword – Attila! The figure is based on an original illustration by huke!

The figure captures the mysterious air of Attila’s character through her expression, with her powerful yet supple brown-skinned arms and legs all sculpted in careful detail with close supervision by huke to create a work of art that fans will be proud to own.

Her iconic long, white veil and the unique colors and transparency of Photon Ray’s blade make use of translucent parts to create a faithful rendition of the original illustration in figure form. Be sure to add the proud yet wistful Attila to your collection!

“I will not destroy life. I will demolish civilization.”

From “Fate/Grand Order” comes a stunning scale figure of the proud and rational warrior with a mysterious emptiness to her – the Saber-class servant Attila!

At first glance it way seem like a rather simple standing pose, but the dynamic sculpt of the veil and outfit around her hips give the figure some really impressive details and volume!! ヽ(*´Д｀*)ﾉ

The movement of the outfit is most likely the first thing that captures your eye, but when you look closer you can really see the hard work put into the details and intricacy of the sculpt!

▲ These frills are so thin!

But the outfit is just one of many highlights! As the figure actually shows more skin than it hides, you can also get a nice look at her body’s curves and dark skin.

A truly magnificent body with sculptwork that captures the soft look around her hips and stomach. The pose also causes her rib cage to become quite a prominent feature that leads up to her chest creating a lovely little gap between her body and her outfit. The collarbone and the curves from her armpits to her chest are also such a wonderful sight!

Looking at this figure I can’t help but think it’s more of a work of art than a figure from a game… but at the same time it caters to various different fetishes at the same time!

Attila herself stands about 270mm in height, but with the sword included the figure stands 445mm in height!

You can’t really tell when looking from the back, but from the side you get a good feel for the sheer size of the long veil extending behind her! (∩・∀・)∩

Let’s take a step back quickly and first take a look at the original illustration by huke that the figure was based on!

▲ The first time this image has been shown! ♪

The illustration is filled with a powerful, imposing appearance and yet also somehow captures a more hidden, delicate side to her at the same time!

The figure has been very carefully tuned to be as faithful to the original illustration as possible, keeping the unique charm and style of huke’s design while converting it into a three dimensional version for fans to enjoy from any angle they please!

▲ Look into those eyes! Don’t they just draw you in?

Another highlight of the figure that helped to capture the appearance from the illustration is the use of translucent parts for the edge of the patterned veil, as well as on Photon Ray, the War God’s Sword. (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The translucent parts look slightly different depending on how the light hits them, adding to the mystique of the character!

The head sculptor for the figure was Manabu Katou from GSC’s production team, and when I asked him what his personal favorite point on the figure was he told me it was her back! (I could have sworn Manabu had a leg fetish, but maybe I’m thinking of someone else.)

From most angles her back is normally covered up with the veil which makes it quite difficult to see, but when you do get a good look at it from the side or from a lower angle you can enjoy the various up-and-downs of her spine and the upright pose!

Also note the neat white stripes all over her body including the back!

▲ I adore this angle!!

I also love the look of her knees!  (*´﹃｀*)

That bumpy feeling of the knee has been captured by both the sculpt and the paintwork so beautifully. While the legs are thin they also have a bit of a meaty feel to them that make it look like they would be soft to the touch.

The planning team’s Chan Shuu-senpai who was in charge of this figure says his favorite point is the way the hair extends out from the veil! (´□｀｡)

▲ Note the mark on her forehead hidden behind the hair!
The wonders of being able to see from any angle you choose!

Along with that he also spoke about his love for the stomach area as well as the contrast between the white outfit and the darker skin! Definitely two points worth noting! (/ω＼)

This is one of those figures that I really want everyone add to their collections and enjoy for themselves! There is just so much to see and appreciate!!

Be sure to add the proud warrior to your collection!!
1/8th Scale Saber/Attila!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Be sure to keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company Official Site for more details! Also don’t forget that there are a couple of other Fate/Grand Order items currently up for preorder! ★

Nendoroid Rin & Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver.

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have astigmatic vision which makes me see twin moons when I look up at the moon. But I can see the patterns nice and clearly!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Rin Kagamine : Harvest Moon Ver. &
Nendoroid Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver.!

Outfits based on the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival! ★

Just like the previously released Miku-san, the outfits are based on illustrations by the Chinese illustrator Rella!

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Harvest Moon Ver.

▲ Released in November 2015

▲ The illustrations that the Nendoroids are based on!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them! ♪
Nendoroid Rin Kagamine : Harvest Moon Ver.

From the “Character Vocal Series 02: Kagamine Rin/Len” comes a Nendoroid of Kagamine Rin dressed up in outfit based on those seen at the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.

While the colors used for her outfit have a mature look, the beautiful raiment flowing around her keeps her bright orange image color. She comes with both a cute smiling face plate, as well as a self-satisfied expression as if she had just enjoyed playing a prank on Len. She also comes with a cute white bunny which can be held, as well as a beautiful lotus lamp for her to hold.

A special background panel that brings out the atmosphere of moon viewing is also included, illustrated by the same artist that designed Rin’s outfit – the Chinese illustrator Rella. Be sure to display her together with Nendoroid Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver. and gaze upon the beauty of the moon with Rin and Len by your side!

A sweet figure of Rin heading out to view the moon!

The background panel is included with the figure and comes with its own attachment parts to display behind her like this! The sheet is also illustrated by Rella, the same illustrator that designed the outfits for the characters.

The fluttering frills on her sleeves, haori made from translucent parts and high belt on her waist give Rin a more grown-up appearance than her usual outfit! ♪

▲ This is how she looks from the back!

She also comes with an adorable little bunny which she can hold in her arms!! Just look at that sweet smile on his face!!

▲ The bunny has a bit of a plump appearance! I want to pet him!!

She also comes with a lotus lamp that also uses a translucent material! ♪

▲She looks like she could lead us into a fairytale! ♪

Although the outfit is rather simple, the details on the included parts and accessories is really impressive! The lotus lamp is once thing, but also take a look at the intricate detail of her hair accessories!!

▲ Her trademark white ribbon also has a translucent appearance!☆

Along with her smiling expression above, she also comes with…

A cute self-satisfied face plate that suits her so well!!

Simply select the expression you prefer and enjoy Rin-chan by your side! ♡

Nendoroid Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver.!

From the “Character Vocal Series 02: Kagamine Rin/Len” comes a Nendoroid of Kagamine Len dressed up in outfit based on those seen at the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.

He comes with both vibrant smiling face plate as well as an embarrassed face plate for when he is tricked by Rin! Two cute little bunnies are also included which Len can hold or simply be displayed lying beside him, and he also comes with a Nendoroid-sized Chinese tea set as well as some bunny ear parts for a more playful display!

A special background panel that brings out the atmosphere of moon viewing is also included, illustrated by the same artist that designed Len’s outfit – the Chinese illustrator Rella. Be sure to display him together with Nendoroid Rin Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver. and gaze upon the beauty of the moon with Rin and Len by your side!

Len is going out moon viewing with cute bunnies by his side!

The background panel is the same as Rin-chan’s panel for the perfect twin display!! The wispy clouds and full moon make for a rather romantic atmosphere! (*´ｪ`*)

Len comes with two marshmallow-like bunnies! ♪

▲ He can hold the bunnies or just have them sleeping by his side! ♡

Taking a look from the back! ☆

The grey-orange gradient of his outfit has been beautifully preserved! Also note the adorable round tail of the bunny!! ♪

As a side note, the short little ponytail is fitted with a ball joint allowing you to move it around as you see fit! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ Simply match the hair with any pose you want!

Along with the bunnies, he also comes with a Nendoroid-sized Chinese tea set! (∩・∀・)∩

A cute set of teal utensils on a tray! ♥

Plus he also comes with a second face plate as well as a rather playful optional part that matches up with Rin’s second face plate perfectly! ★

An embarrassed expression and bunny ears!

The expression makes for such a nice contrast to his standard, confident smile!! The wriggly mouth and red cheeks make him look so very out of his element!

If you pose Rin-chan with her self-satisfied expression next to him it makes it look like she is proud to have put the ears on Len!♪

▲ “There is no way this suits me!”
“It looks perfect! I knew my selection would look great!”

They two of them look so adorable displayed together!! As a side note, these items are scheduled to be released around the time the harvest moon rises in mid-Autumn! ^^

Spend a night moon-watching with Rin and Len!

Nendoroid Rin Kagamine : Harvest Moon Ver. &

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Female/Male Ver.

Hello everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Female/Male Ver.!

A brand new selection of items joining the Nendoroid More series to bring even more display options to your Nendoroids! This time there are both male and female sets to dress-up your favorite Nendoroids in Halloween style! (*´ω`*)

I was actually in charge of planning these items, so I’m going to try and bring out as much of their charm as possible!!! Let’s start off with the male version!

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Male Ver.!

Transform your favorite Nendoroid into a vampire for Halloween!

The Nendoroid More series is a selection of items created to make Nendoroids even more enjoyable, and this new set of items combines the popular After Parts and Dress Up series into a single themed set to dress up your favorite characters for Halloween!

This Male Ver. of the set comes with a vampire body, bats, a black cat, a cross, a zombie’s right hand sticking out the ground and a special Halloween-themed base. The set also includes a selection of stickers including scars, blood, claws and spiderwebs that can be stuck onto Nendoroid face plates, hair parts and bodies allowing for even more dress up options!

Be sure to display it together with the Halloween Set Female Ver. (sold separately) and create your very own Nendoroid Halloween party!

Manufacturer: Good Smile Company
Category: Nendoroid More
Release Date: 2017/8
Price: ¥2,315 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: knead (kan-D!, Nikuribon)

In other words, the theme for the male version is a vampire and his friends in a graveyard!

▼Set Contents

▲A nice selection of parts as well as a set of stickers!

I’m sure there are lots of girls like me out there that want to transform their favorite characters into vampires and offer their blood for the greater good!! Which is why I decided that the male Halloween dress-up would focus on the vampire theme!! (*´ω`*）

▲ I love the black cape blowing in the wind! ♡

The cape can also be removed which means that you can still use the dress-up parts with characters with longer hair that might get in the way of the cape!

▲ Without the cape he leaves quite a different impression too! ♡

Along with the body itself the set also includes other items to bring out the Halloween theme such as bats and a black cat!

Another more unique part is the zombie hand crawling out from the grave! The hands have been shrunk to Nendoroid size which make them rather cute, but they have a rather distasteful color scheme to bring out that zombie feel!! The right hand is included with the male version while the left hand is included with the female version!

▲ If you grab both sets you can display the two hands together as a single zombie trying to dig his way out!

A cross is also included which is designed to be used as a kind of background, but it can also be put in front or elsewhere to create all sorts of interesting situations!

▲A vampire targeting an innocent witch from behind the cross…

In addition, a special Halloween-themed base is also included with a purple and orange chequered pattern! The same design is included with the female set!

Moving on, let’s take a look at the Female Ver.!

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Male Ver!

Transform your favorite Nendoroid into a witch or devil for Halloween!

The Nendoroid More series is a selection of items created to make Nendoroids even more enjoyable, and this new set of items combines the popular After Parts and Dress Up series into a single themed set to dress up your favorite characters for Halloween!

This Female Ver. of the set comes with a witch body, devil-themed parts including a horn, pitchfork and tail, a jack-o’-lantern, ghost, a zombie’s left hand sticking out the ground and a special Halloween-themed base. The set also includes a selection of stickers including scars, blood, claws and spiderwebs that can be stuck onto Nendoroid face plates, hair parts and bodies allowing for even more dress up options!

Be sure to display it together with the Halloween Set Male Ver. (sold separately) and create your very own Nendoroid Halloween party

The theme for the Female version is a witch that is ready to trick you if you don’t give her treats! Plus a ghost!

▼Set Contents

I had a lot of trouble deciding what outfit the female version should use! There are too many options for Halloween… but I think the most common dress-up would be a witch, so that was what I decided on! Plus she comes with a jack-o’-lantern shaped bucket to collect her candy!

▲ Trick or Treat with a ghost!

The ghost was specially designed to look cute and gentle to better suit the Nendoroid world! I love the wiggling appearance of his tail at the back!

▲ If you position him carefully he looks a bit like he is carrying the bucket!

However! I wanted some more posing options which is why I also included a few parts which make for a slightly different appearance! Devil attachment parts! (*´ω`*）

▲ The blood stickers suit the devilish look so well!!

Both sets come with a set of stickers that can be stuck to the face plates, hair or anywhere else for a nice little dress-up effect!! ♪

▲ A bunch of stickers to match the Halloween theme!!

The stickers are designed to easily stick onto even curved surfaces, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble attaching them to different parts! ♪

Let’s dress-up some Nendoroids!

Nendoroid Shielder/Mash Kyrielight x Devil Witch!

Nendoroid Tobio Kageyama x Vampire!

Nendoroid Syaoran Li x Vampire &

Nendoroid Sakura Kinomoto x Witch!

Dress-up your favorite Nendoroids for Halloween!! 

However that’s not all!! We also have one other item coming to join the Nendoroid More series!!

Nendoroid More Face Parts Case (Halloween Cat)!

Trick or Treat with a Nendoroid More Face Parts case!

The Nendoroid More series is a selection of items created to make Nendoroids even more enjoyable, and the latest addition to the series is a new face parts case with a Halloween theme!

The case allows you to store up to two spare expression parts inside while also having a cute black cat appearance with a Halloween theme to put on display – which means that even your spare parts will have a place in your collection!

Nendoroid Belle (Disney’s Beauty and the Beast)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My craving to go to Disneyland has recently been on the rise. Every single time I visit I have to go and watch PhilharMagic!! I love it!!

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

From Disney’s animated feature film “Beauty and the Beast” comes a Nendoroid of Belle! She comes with two different face plates that both capture her personality and allow for all sorts of cute and fun poses!

The figure has been sculpted wearing the memorable yellow dress from the ballroom scene, which has been carefully converted into Nendoroid size and painted with great attention to detail. Combined with the two different face plates, the Nendoroid allows fans to create various different situations in Nendoroid size.

Optional parts include both Mrs. Potts and Chip, as well as the enchanted rose and the magic mirror that showed the Beast. A clear sheet featuring the Beast is also included together with a stand to display beside her. Be sure to add this adorable Disney Princess to your collection!

The Disney Princess who wished for adventure like those in her beloved books.

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

 

With the recent live action film, “Beauty and the Beast” is as popular as ever, and now the classic animated version of Belle is even getting an adorable Nendoroid figure!!

Belle is one of my favorite Disney Princesses so I was really excited to hear she would be transformed into a Nendoroid!! She has that gentle Princess touch but also has the charming aspect of being a daydreamer!

Belle is one of many Disney and Pixar Nendoroids that were announced during the 2017 Winter Wonder Festival! There are still many more characters coming to join her! ★

▼Upcoming Nendoroids (No Specific Order)

Ariel
Rapunzel
Tinker Bell
Jack Skellington
Jack Sparrow
Winnie-the-Pooh
Woody
Buzz
Mike & Boo
Sulley & Boo

 

But anyway, let’s get back to Belle!♪

Belle has her hair tied up in a mature yet cute style, and her lovely yellow dress has many drapes that have been carefully converted into Nendoroid size!

She comes with an interchangeable skirt part which allows you to pose her pinching the end of her dress to recreate this classic pose! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ Even the frills on the inside have been carefully sculpted! ♪

The figure also comes with a lovely selection of accessories and parts to display together with Belle herself! Let’s take a closer look at them one by one!

◆ Mrs. Potts and Chip ◆

The shiny paintwork makes them really look like ceramics!

The wide open eyes also give them both such a cute look! The designs have been slightly altered to better match with the Nendoroid design, but even so just having them beside Belle really helps to bring out the atmosphere of the series!  (*´ｪ`*)

◆ Enchanted Rose ◆

My favorite shot! You can pose Belle holding the rose like so!♡

The glass case that holds the enchanted rose in the film is also included, allowing you to instead simply display the rose by her side as a decoration instead!

▲The rose inside the case makes for a very different atmosphere!

◆ Hand Mirror ◆

The dignified looking magical mirror is also included! ☆


▲ The reflective side of the mirror shows Beast!

◆ Beast ◆

Beast is also included on a clear sheet!  (ฅ^･ω･^ ฅ)

He comes with his own little stand to allow you to pose Beauty and the Beast together in Nendoroid size! Even the height difference looks great! I can just picture the ballroom scene in my head…

Be sure to add the beautiful Disney Princess to your collection! 
Nendoroid Belle!

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

nendoroid-tadashi-yamaguchi-haikyu

From the popular volleyball manga series with an equally popular anime, ‘Haikyu!!’, comes a Nendoroid of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club’s pinch server – Tadashi Yamaguchi! He comes with three face plates including a standard expression, the serious expression he had when performing his well-practiced jump float serve as well as a smiling expression.

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 a his favorite snack, floppy fries! Be sure to display him with the other characters from the series and create all sorts of fun situations in Nendoroid size!

“What more do you need than pride?!”

The pinch server for Karasuno High School Volleyball Club’s who always takes his practice seriously, Tadashi Yamaguchi is joining the adorable Nendoroid series of figures! ☆

This is in fact the 12th Nendoroid from the series!

⇒ Haikyu! Product Listing

I look forward to seeing who will be next! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

But let’s head back to Yamaguchi!

nendoroid-tadashi-yamaguchi-haikyu

▲ Posed calling out to Tsukki!

His rather unkempt hair with a tint of green and his freckled face have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size! The open mouth with his top teeth showing is so very cute too!! ★

Along with this standard smiling expression above, he also comes with a more serious expression for when he is in a match, ready to perform his jump float serve!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

nendoroid-tadashi-yamaguchi-haikyu

Making use of the Nendoroid stand you can pose him just before he strikes the ball!!

Bent arm and leg parts are also included which can be mixed and matched to recreate all sorts of different scenes both in volleyball matches and for more casual scenes!  (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

nendoroid-tadashi-yamaguchi-haikyu

▲ The contrast between his smile and this expression is lovely!

The word Yamaguchi says most often in a day is said to be “Tsukki”, so it only makes sense to display him together with Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima!

nendoroid-tadashi-yamaguchi-haikyu

▲ Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima (Released August 2016)

* Yamaguchi is a prototype and Tsukki is a final product making the sizes slightly different.

You can easily pose Yamaguchi boasting about Tsukki’s amazing talent!

nendoroid-tadashi-yamaguchi-haikyu

His third expression is this lovely cheerful expression! ♪

It’s perfect for these scenes with Tsukki, but can also be used for all sorts of other situations as well! I can just imagine a victory pose with that smile as well!!

Last but not least…

nendoroid-tadashi-yamaguchi-haikyu

▲ You can see the floppy yellow sticking out above his shoulder!

He comes with his favorite food: floppy fries !ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

nendoroid-tadashi-yamaguchi-haikyu

Another item that matches with his smiling face plate perfectly!! Each and every one of the fries has been sculpted with a lovely floppy appearance to ensure he is happy!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

nendoroid-tadashi-yamaguchi-haikyu

▲ The fact that he is holding it with two hands is also cute!

Just look how cute he is!! ☆
