“Deploying for Battle Next Week!” Nendoroid Kirishima ♪

Good day to you all!

It’s me, Kaho-tan! (＠gsc_kahotan)
Did I ever tell you that I love girls with glasses?

And for this very reason, even now I fondly remember interviewing at an optometrist after graduating from university… !

Moving on – today we’ll be taking a look at

Nendoroid Kirishima!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the 4th Kongo-class battleship, Kirishima! She comes with both a microphone and a megaphone to represent her famous ‘mike check’ introduction line from the game!Various shooting effect parts are also included to chase down her enemies, and once she has caught up she also comes with punching effect parts for some close combat! Type 3 Shell’s are also included, along with the bullets inside the shells for even more effect! Last but not least, she also comes with a sofa to display her relaxing at tea time with her sisters!

OOOOOMMMMMMGGGGGG(*´Д｀)=з

The youngest of the 4 Kongo-Class sisters – Kirishima is so cute and chibi!

Black hair, short cut, glasses – easily her 3 best features brought forth in all their majesty in Nendoroid form♥︎

And the shrine maiden style attire worn by all the sisters is simply perfect as well!

Alright, let’s spin her around for a peek from behind… |oﾟдﾟ）

Just like Hiei, her armament has an “x-shaped arm” design for a wide range of movement.

And at the base at each of the 4 arms is a Nendoroid joint, allowing for vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and pretty much any kind of movement φ(．． )

The artillery portions pivot on an axle, so you can spin them around to aim in any direction!

Now let’s take a look at her accessories!

“How’s the volume…? Check, check, 1,2 …. Alright, let’s go.“

This is Kirishima, after all! So she wouldn’t be complete without a microphone to recreate her mic-check pose!

Imagine that the armament behind her is speakers, and she looks kind of like a TV announcer, doesn’t she… !

On top of that! In addition to the mic, we’ve also added one of these! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

A megaphone★

If you equip it together with her gallant expression, you can have Kirishima acting as the “brains of the battleships,” giving orders to the fleet ♡

Kirishima is sure to prefer the voice projection of the megaphone over the microphone as well… !

But, you can also give that valiant stance a 180… (｀・ω・´)

If you combine her distressed half-damaged expression together with her munitions and guns ablaze, you have Kirishima in the midst of heated battle!

She looks so brave, I love it… ! (Kaho’s inner voice)

And depending on the angle, it could look like she’s about to throw the anti-aircraft shells clutched in her hands (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

That’s not all! Just as all of you were keen to notice, the anti-aircraft shells of course

have mid-explosion versions included as well!

When moving into offensive mode, it seems more like a battlefield scene ♪

(・∀・) “And speaking of special effects, check this out!”

I know this is sudden and all, but allow me to introduce Planning Director Kyojin!

(・∀・) “Inspired by the actual history of the Kirishima, which on a few occasions was used as a weapon itself to ram other ships in battle, I decided to include this punching effect part!”

…Very feminine (very physical)!

A close combat version using the recoil from her cannons to pack that extra punch… all I can say is I should have known(/ω＼)

(・∀・) “Of all the Kan-Colle girls, isn’t Shimakiri the only one that could come with a punch effect?”

Oh, right! Kirishima is one of the 4 Kongo sisters, so…

Doesn’t that mean she’ll come with one really big accessory like Nendoroid Kongo and Nendoroid Hiei …!?

(・∀・) “Of course she will! Here it is!!”

No way, is that a sofa!!! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

(・∀・) “The seat portion slides forward, so you can insert the flowing cloth portions on the back of her costume inside the gap.”

So that’s how it works! Inserting the back layers of her costume into the gap acts a a support to make her sit firmly in place on the sofa (*´Д｀)=з

(・∀・) “As the back layers of her costume are fixed in place, I think this design allows for the end user to enjoy more stress-free posing. “

And if she were to join Kongo and Heiei, their tea party would become even more extravagant… !

And it seems that “Nendoroid Haruna,” who will complete the sisters, is going to come with so many amazing accessories, too – I know we all can’t help but wait with baited breath!

(・∀・) “We discussed this a bit during the live broadcast, but the reason that Shimakiri was released after Hiei is because… We haven’t quite finished designing Haruna yet… !”

That really speaks of Admiral Kyoji’s passion! Don’t you think! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ

(・∀・) “Unfortunately, that is the case. I’m sure a lot of people were really concerned about it, but we all know it’s in good hands! And she’s in development as we speak!”

I’m really looking forward to the day when all 4 Kongo sisters can be together ♪

(・∀・) “One last thing! We’ve made Shimakiri’s trademark glasses so that you can take them off. “

To think – you can finally see what she looks like without her glasses!

This is a rare glimpse seldom seen ＜○＞＜○＞

(・∀・) “And in addition to the glasses with lenses that you see here, we also plan to include glasses that are just the frames! You’ll probably find different purposes for each, so we hope you’ll just roll with it and have fun.”

With so many accessories that really show off her personality, enjoy putting her in all sorts of situations!

Nendoroid Kirishima

Available for preorder from the afternoon of (Mon) Dec. 22!

And just like last time, we’ll be offering a special preorder bonus to customers preordering “Nendoroid Kirishima” at the Goodsmile Online Shop…

Nendoroid Akari Yomatsuri

＼ Belly Button Forte!!／

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Was my healing spell effective? Just remember never to use this spell if you’re wearing a one-piece dress like a certain other cute character!

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

Nendoroid Akari Yomatsuri!♡

From the original anime series ‘Captain Earth’ comes a Nendoroid of the self-proclaimed ‘magical girl’, Akari Yomatsuri! She comes with three expressions including a spirited standard expression, an energetic smile and a confident glaring expression.

Optional parts include her laptop, sitting parts and parts to recreate her “Belly Button Forte” healing spell. Enjoy recreating various scenes from the series!

Logical, logical~♪ ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

The genius hacker and self-proclaimed magical girl is joining the Nendoroids! ♡

The energetic girl who often takes rather strange actions, but is also the brains behind Globe’s ‘Midsummer’s Knights’ – Akari-chan! Her sleeveless top and short pants have been neatly shrunk into Nendoroid side!

I love the way you can just see her stomach sticking out! <○><○>
Speaking of that stomach, she comes with a special interchangeable body part that allows you to display her famous ‘Belly Button Forte’ as in the first photo for the blog!

Let’s see how she looks from the back! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Her hair on the back has a spiky look to it which has been very intricately included on the Nendoroid’s design! I love that fact that even though she is an active character that spends time outdoors she is still a top-class hacker wizard as well!

I think Akari-chan is best known for her carefree smile, but she also comes with a more serious glaring expression for recreating less playful scenes! ☆

“You’re nothing more than an alien.
…don’t go underestimating magical girls!! “

An expression very reminiscent of episode nine of the series! I think these sudden stern words from the usually jovial Akari caught a lot of people’s attention!

Plus you can see she comes complete with her mini-laptop which she can hold under her arm! But that’s not the only way to pose her with it…

An opened up laptop is also included! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The closed and opened versions are different parts, so she basically comes with two different laptop parts! Even the keyboard area is correctly patterned out, creating a rather realistic look for such a tiny part !

As you may have also noticed… Akari also comes with sitting parts!

Sitting parts allow for so many more posing opportunities – you’re sure to find a situation you want to pose her in!

I also love the fact that her sitting pose is barefoot!

Enjoy both her carefree cute side and her more valiant side!

Nendoroid Akari Yomatsuri!♡

She is currently up for preorder! ★

Orders at the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 7th January 2015 at 21:00JST! ♪

Orders close next year, but that’s sooner than you expect! Don’t miss out!

Japan’s First Red Bull Air Race – Chiba 2015

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve never enjoyed flying as the air pressure change in the plane always gets to me… I have found that special earplugs do help out a lot though!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at something rather different that was announced yesterday!

The Red Bull Air Race Chiba 2015!

The Red Bull Air Race World Championship’s 2015 Championship 2nd Race will be taking place in Japan for the first time!

Red Bull Air Race Chiba 2015Dates:
16th May 2015 (Preliminary)
17th May 2015 (Official Race)
Should the 17th have poor weather, the race will be delayed to the 18th May.

Location:
Kaihim Makuhari Park (Chiba)

Details:
FAI (The World Air Sports Federation) accredited aeroplane championship race. This will be the second of eight races around the world. The races will be done by 14 top race pilots.

Organizer:
Red Bull Air Race Japan Committee

Special Support:
Chiba City

Support:
Chiba Prefecture, Australian Embassy

The important thing to note is that this is Japan’s first time ever hosting a race! It has been held at various famous cities around the world, and now if finally coming to Japan as well!

Good Smile Company is working together with Chiba City and the Race Committee to make the first ever race in Japan one to remember! Good Smile Company’s CEO Aki has been named the executive producer for the tournament! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

My name is Aki Takanori, the CEO of Good Smile Company. I am proud to announce that I have been given the title of executive producer for the Red Bull Air Race Japan tournament, giving me the privilege of taking part in the first ever Air Race to be held in Japan. While Good Smile Company’s main business has always been making anime, manga and game figures, we have also been taking part in the SUPER GT race as the “Hatsune Miku GT Project”, involving us all sorts of management on the car racing scene as well. Our team made was crowned the champion of the GT300 series this year.

Along with motor-racing, I’ve always been very interested in the extreme sports run by Red Bull and have been keeping an eye on them with great enthusiasm. When I heard the Air Race was looking for possible sites for the tournament, I thought that Japan would be a wonderful place to hold one of the races, and glad that we could make it happen. I will be doing everything in my power to make Japan’s first ever Air Race tournament a race to remember!

GSC will be actively taking part in the running of the event!

We want to make it an event that fans all around the world can enjoy! But before I continue this speech, perhaps I should first address… what exactly is an Air Race? (°д°；)！

What is the Red Bull Air Race?

The Red Bull Air Race World Championship is an official World Championship, accredited by the FAI – The World Air Sports Federation.

Since it was officially launched, the Red Bull Air Race World Championship has become globally renowned as the fastest and most exhilarating motor-sport on the planet.

Devised by the Red Bull sports think-tank, the initial goal was to create the most advanced aerial challenge the world had ever seen; what has evolved into the Red Bull Air Race we know today has far exceeded any original expectations.

It is a visual spectacle unlike any other. A combination of high speed, low altitude and extreme manoeuvrability make it only accessible to the world’s most exceptional pilots.

12 pilots are competing in the Master Class category in eight races across the globe for the title of 2014 Red Bull Air Race World Champion. The objective is to navigate an aerial racetrack featuring air-filled pylons in the fastest possible time, incurring as few penalties as possible. Pilots can win World Championship points at each race and the pilot with the most points after the last race of the season becomes the Red Bull Air Race World Champion.

(http://www.redbullairrace.com/en_INT/article/about-red-bull-air-race)

To summarize! The Red Bull Air Race the world’s fastest three dimensional aeroplane race! A race where you have to think both horizontally and vertically! (´∀｀)

I had never heard anything about it before, but after watching some videos from previous contests I realized how thrilling it can be!! It’s really like watching a movie more than watching a sport! Check the official site below for some videos! ヽ(*・ω・)ノ

Red Bull Air Race Official Site: http://www.redbullairrace.com/

The race will be taking place in Chiba, Japan in May 2015!!! I can’t wait to see it all live!! ♪

Yesterday there was a press conference that announced all of this, and I had the privilege of sneaking in for some photos myself! (σ・∀・)σ

In front of the conference hall was the Red Bull Car!! ∑(ﾟДﾟ)

Let’s head inside…

It’s more like a ceremonial hall than a conference hall!

Various logos showing all the supporter’s for Japan’s race! I spy the GSC logo!

The speaker’s arrive!

Right: Red Bull Air Race Pilot: Yoshihide Muroya
Left: Red Bull Air Race CEO: Erich Wolf

Right: Chiba City Mayor Toshihito Kumagai
Left: Good Smile Company CEO Aki Takanori

Everyone had lovely introductions and passed on their opinions and thoughts regarding the upcoming competition. Things such as safety and why Chiba was chosen were also discussed!

We had Good Smile Company figures on display outside the hall! ♪

Including the recently announced Nendoroid Elsa! ♡

There was also a lovely lady handing out Red Bull to everyone!

I also got a two-shot of Muroya-san and Aki-san together! ★

Good Smile is set and ready to challenge all new things!!

We hope you’ll continue to support us no matter where the wind takes us in the future! (｀・ω・´)

Miyazawa Model Exhibition: Autumn 2014 (Part 2)

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Don’t tell anyone I told you… but over the next two months there are all sorts of interesting announcements to look forward to!

Today I’m going to be continuing on from yesterday’s blog – my coverage of the Miyazawa Model Exhibition: Autumn 2014!

Yesterday I focused on the GSC products that were on display, but today I’m going to be taking a look at other companies!

You can find GSC’s items over here:
Miyazawa Model Exhibition: Autumn 2014 (Part 1)

☆ Max Factory ☆

figma Lucina!

The gallant, beautiful solider!

Her amazing outfit is detailed down to the smallest of details! (/ω＼)

She is posed with her hair down here, but she can also be posed with her mask on and hair tied up! Personally I also think she would look amazing displayed on…

figma Horse!

An item that was met with a rather huge reaction when announced! The possibilities that a figma Horse brings are amazing!

Just think how awesome the Attack on Titan characters would look displayed riding on the horse!

Not only that, but it would also bring out the atmosphere of the series so much more! I get the feeling he’ll be up for preorder within the year! ♪

Next up we have a figure that debuted at the event along with on Kaneko Nitohei’s Twitter (@2tohei)!

I can’t wait to see her optional parts and expressions! For those of you who missed out, the first in the series was Aigis from Persona 3! ♪
⇒ Parfom Aigis

Another first-time painted prototype was…

Medicchu: Airfield Princess!

The second Medicchu from the Abyssal fleet! ♪

I really can’t wait for her preorders to open!

On the right we also have Nomucchan’s unpainted prototype! ♥︎

We also have…!

Ranko Kanzaki: Anniversary Princess Ver. ~ Mad Banquet ~

A special item filled with love from her planner, Takamatsu-shi! (@Phat_stuff)

I don’t think there is a need for words here… all I need to say is great job!! The figure will come as both a simple, cheaper version as well as this version with a larger base! φ(．． )

☆ FREEing ☆

figFIX Conan & figma Criminal

I declare myself the biggest fan of Detective Conan in GSC!

It looks like all sorts of fun parts will be included with him too! ♪

Mami Tomoe: Yukata Ver.

Elegance and beauty. The charms of a mature woman! ♡

A yellow yukata with morning glory prints suits Mami-san very well! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
FREEing’s Y-style series of characters in traditional Japanese clothing never ceases to impress me!

Another example of this is…

Mikoto Mikasa: Yukata Ver.

She went up for preorder yesterday! ♥︎

Kuroko Shirai: Yukata Ver. will also be coming to join her shortly!

Miyazawa Model Exhibition: Autumn 2014 (Part 1)

＼Please to meet you! I’m Kirishima! ／

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I was out and about almost all day yesterday, which made this blog go up rather late! Today I’ll be taking a look at what was on display at the Miyazawa Model Exhibition yesterday! First and foremost was Nendoroid Kirishima’s prototype, which was revealed at the event for the very first time! ♪

What is the Miyazawa Model Exhibition?

The Miyazawa Model Exhibition’s is an industry-only event organised by Miyazawa Models, which allows distributors and manufacturers to display their figures, character goods, miniature cars and more among each other. The event is not directly open to the public. This was the 34th event so far, and with each coming event it becomes a larger event with more reveals and new items on display for various different companies.

This time around GSC also had all sorts of items on display! Quite a few for the very first time too! Let’s take a look at those first! (｀・ω・´)

Nendoroid Kirishima!

Not a word was said about her before this! She came out of nowhere!

I can’t wait to display her with the other Kongo sisters!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
I’ll let everyone know as soon as I have any new info about her! ★

Nendoroid Akari Yomatsuri!

/ Belly Button Forte! \

I would never have expected that pose to be possible…!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

I look forward to seeing what other expressions and parts she comes with!

Nendoroid Kyoko Toshino!

From the 29th November the OVA YuruYuri Nachuyachumi! will be in select cinemas! We decided to show the Nendoroid a little early! ♡

I believe she will also comes with some rather shocking parts!

Moving on, let’s take a look at some items that are already up for preorder! ♪

I love that confident smile on her face! ♥︎

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Senbonzakura Ver.

Rumours tell me parts to join the two are also included…!

Nendoroid Tobio Kageyama!

Just look at that clear and confident expression! However…
I want to show his other expression even more!!
I’m sure I’ll get the chance soon!

Let’s move onto the scale figures! (｀・ω・´)

Golden brown skin and a body to die for… Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！

It can only be…
Musashi Kai: Light Armament Ver.!☆

We took a look at the Heavy Armament Ver. during Kahotan Station, but at the Exhibition we decided to have Musashi Kai’s Light Armament version on display instead! (/ω＼)

I also get the feeling she’ll be up for preorder soon!
Keep an eye out for more details!

Next up…

Humanity’s strongest soldier… always calm and collected…

Levi! ♡

Levi himself looks as relaxed as ever really showing off his charm….

But you can’t ignore that base either!!

I’ll be showing more of Levi on the blog soon, so come back for a closer look!

And finally… this handsome young woman! (*´Д｀)=з

From the popular anime series TERRAFORMARS:

Michelle K. Davis! ★

The figure captures her beauty and strength all at once!

Just look at the base beneath her too! I’ll be showing more of her shortly as well, so keep your eyes on the blog!

Phew, it was quite a quick look, but what did you guys think?
Was their anything that caught your eye?

I’ll be doing another part to feature Max Factory, Phat! company and other items shortly, so if you didn’t see anything you liked here you may find one there!

Mio Honda: New Generation Ver. & Event Info!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

This weekend I’ll be going to the Motegi Race! It’ll be my first time watching a race live so I’m quite excited!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a product that went on sale earlier this week…

Mio Honda: New Generation Ver.! ♡

Hyahoooooooooooooo!!! (´□｀｡)

Chanmio with a lovely smile in her sexy white and orange outfit! ♥︎

She should be reaching anyone who ordered her shortly!! I still can’t get enough of those little star accessories from her belt and other areas! The detail on the outfit is amazing!

Not to mention her adorable winking expression! (*´Д｀)

Just looking at her makes me feel happier inside! You’re so cute Chanmio!!

This is how she looks from the back!

Well… not *quite* behind, but the leaning pose makes it hard to go any closer!

The enamel effect of the paint gives the outfit a realistic looking texture which contrasts with her soft white skin beautifully! ★

Speaking of soft, you can’t miss these!!

They have such an amazing presence!!

She might have an innocent expression, but her body’s super sexy curves show off just why Mio is loved by so many fans! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Plus the area I personally fell in love with…

Her belly button! ♡

Her stomach is sticking out ever so perfectly!

This angle also captures the skin between her skirt and socks perfectly… as well as the way her socks are squeezing onto the skin! A very recommended angle!

And with Chanmio now on sale…

The New Generation Set is Complete!! ♥︎

Here the three are displayed together! Don’t they look lovely!

Seeing such a lovely collection gets me even more excited for the upcoming IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS anime, starting from the 9th January 2015! (/ω＼)

Mio Honda: New Generation Ver.!

She is in stores now! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

animate Girls Festival 2014

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Before I work on becoming more ladylike I’m determined to become more human-like. More specifically, I hope one day I’ll be able to keep things tidy and orderly in the morning, and that I’ll be able to talk to strangers without too many butterflies in my stomach…!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at an event coming up this weekend!

The animate Girls Festival 2014!

animate Girls Festival 2014

Dates: 8th – 9th November 2014
Location: Ikebukuro Sunshine City World Import Mart 4th Floor A Hall / Bunka Kaikan 4th Floor B Hall / Bunka Kaikan 3rd Floor C Hall / Bunka Kaikan 2nd Floor D Hall


GSC Booth: W-28
Event Site: http://www.animate.co.jp/special/agf/pc/

GSC Event Info:
http://event.goodsmile.info/event/animate-girls-festival-2014/?lo=en-us

For those of you who don’t know about animate Girls Festival (AGF), it’s a special event that focuses on anime, games and manga that are targeted at us girls! It’s also the 5th anniversary of the event this year!!

Good Smile has also prepared some special items for the event, so we hope you’ll come by and enjoy the event with us! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Let’s take a closer look at what you’ll find at the GSC booth!

1: DRAMAtical Murder Goods!

From the anime series DRAMAtical Murder comes Picktam! Aoba: Morphine Parka Ver. & Sei and Picktam! Virus & Trip!

Plus, if you buy both of these sets at the same time, you’ll get a special Picktam! Suit Body as a bonus!! ♥︎

As with all Picktam straps, each of these of course includes two different expressions! (｀・ω・´)

You can see the alternate side on the product pages on GSC, or else tune into my Twitcast on Friday, the 7th November where I’ll be taking a closer look at these as well as the soon to be released Picktam!: DRAMAtical Murder base set, which will also be on sale at AGF!

I’m sure most of you already know exactly who the secret character is just based on that silhouette! Those who buy a box of these Picktam straps will get a special Picktam! Expression! as a bonus! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

It comes with two lovely sides that suit almost any character! ♡

Speaking of expressions… Aoba’s embarrassed expression is SO CUTE!

Those of you who haven’t picked him up yet can grab Nendoroid Aoba at the event as well! Just look at his cute smile and amazing ‘shift body’! ♪

2: Other Picktam! Series!

DRAMAtical Murder isn’t the only Picktam! series in the spotlight at this event! The popular Picktam! Attack on Titan: Part 1, Picktam! Attack on Titan: Part 2, Picktam! Levi: Cleaning Ver., Picktam! Danganronpa 1&2 will all be available! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Be sure to grab them before you miss out!!

3: wooser Goods!

Various popular goods from wooser’s hand-to-mouth life will also be available!

Personally I’d like to point out this one!

The “Girl Power UP! Set’ (｀・ω・´)ゞ

This set was thought up by GSC’s wooser Gals (Provisional Name), so I decided to get their thoughts on the set!

Q：What made you create this set of goods?

(・∀・) “AGF is an event for girls! So we wanted to provide something to fans that would bring out their ladylike side!”

(｡･ω･) “A collection of goodies that is both useful for everyday life, and had a cute side to it! We had all sorts of ideas, but as we were thinking them up during a lunch meeting, we all agreed that a little bag for holding lunch in would be great!”

(・д・｡) “Which is where the rest of the items got their theme from! Things you can use during lunch!”

I see, I see! Let’s have a closer look at each of the items in the set!
First up…

(AGF Exclusive) Lunch Bag!♡

A lovely mini tote bag that comes complete with a badge of Darth wooser! It actually holds more than you might think, and could easily fit in your lunch box and more… like your wallet, or make-up pouch! ★

To give a little example of how much can fit inside…

About the size of a figma Goro Inogashira: Standard Helping ver box! (´∀｀。)

Wouldn’t it be nice to have lunch with Goro-san! ♪

Anyway, moving on…

After touching some flowers, or to wipe the sweat from your hands…

(AGF Presale) wooser’s Dreamland Mini Handkerchief!♡

(｡･ω･) “This handkerchief has gauze on the front and towelling on the back, making it both lovely to touch and very absorbent!”

It looks like the color is a little different to the image on the GSC event site?

(｡･ω･) “Oh yes! The illustrations used to be a dark brown, but after seeing some samples we changed the color to a darker pink which matched much better!”

Everything has to be as cute as possible in a set made to increase girl power! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Next up we have…

A mini Tupperware perfect for keeping little things inside, or even your lunch dessert! ♪

*Open*

(AGF Exclusive) wooser’s Beef Case ♡

wooser-sama has already dug into the meat! Literally!! (´□｀｡)

By the way, the fake meat if my personal item! It isn’t included with the Tupperware!

The lid also closes nice and securely, so no worrying about your goodies falling out in transit!

You could even keep a Nendoroid Petite, or Nendoroid parts inside! φ(．． )

It is quite the ideal size to keep a Petite Miku Dayo-san inside! ◎

Just so you know, the fat wooser in the illustration is wooser himself, the one on the right is Darth wooser! (σ・∀・)σ

Finally we have a rather rare item!

(AGF Exclusive) Duplicate Mini Shikishi! ♡

Illustrated by Tomoko Fujinoki and featuring the cute outfits from the anime’s opening!

(・д・｡) “We made a lot of cute pink adjustments ensuring a cute set that we’re sure fans will enjoy!”

“Girl Power UP Set” : ¥2,000

・Lunch Bag (Includes Badge)
・wooser’s Dreamland Mini Handkerchief ♡
・wooser’s Beef Case
・Duplicate Mini Shikishi

Another item that will be on sale early at AGF is the ‘The Important Things in Life T-Shirt: I am the Rule ver.’! You can see more photos over on the GSC Lab blog!

GSC Lab: ★AGF★ wooser Goods Info

The wooser kigurumi will also be visiting AGF! ♡

I’m sure he is hoping that many cute gals will come to see him!

4: New Product Displays

Some of the latest figures will also be on display at the event, including the recently announced Ren: Rhyme mode Ver.! and perhaps some never before seen goodies as well!

Look forward to it! ╭( ・ㅂ・)و ̑̑ ｸﾞｯ !

Happy Kuji: Hatsune Miku: 2014 Autumn Ver. – Part 2

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Recently I’ve been eating walnut anpan nearly every single day… A day that starts with some tasty bread is a good day! (*´～｀*) *nomnom*

Anyway, today I’ll be continuing with more items from…

The Happy Kuji: Hatsune Miku 2014 Autumn Ver!

Hatsune Miku: 2014 Autumn Ver.

Sales Dates: 4th October 2014 ~ ??? (On Sale Now!)
Sales Stores: FamilyMart, TSUTAYA and animate stores around Japan.

Store Search:
http://www.h-kuji.com/map/miku_2014Autumn/

Prize Listing:
http://www.h-kuji.com/goods/goods12.html

Let me finally get onto the very top of the prize list! The A Prize!

A Prize: Hatsune Miku: Lat-type Autumn Ver.

This Autumn, the ‘Happy Kuji: Hatsune Miku 2014 Autumn Ver.’, a raffle that gives you a change to grab exclusive Hatsune Miku character goods will be run at FamilyMart, TSUTAYA and animate stores across Japan. The ‘A’ prize is a special Autumn-themed version of Hatsune Miku: Lat-type Ver.!

Hatsune Miku: Lat-type Ver. back in an Autumn themed outfit!

I never thought I’d be lucky enough to cross paths with another beautiful Lat-san glasses Miku! The argyle pattern and orange hems of her knee-high socks really bring out the Autumn theme! °・(ノД｀)・°・

The fresh design was decided on with both Lat-san and the head planner, Hamako! It also has a more matte finish which adds an autumn texture as well! ♡

Even the stand has been altered for the new design!
The Autumn leaves have fallen to the ground beneath her! ♪

No matter where you look, you can see exactly why this is an ideal product for the Autumn Kuji!

Even her hair and accessories have had their colors adjusted!

Her hair is a lighter mint green instead of the normal turquoise green! It also uses semi-transparent parts giving the whole figure a lighter appearance! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The wallet chain and skirt have also been recoloured and repatterned! ★

The color scheme is also very fitting for the Halloween months as well! It has a very fresh feeling to it! Her glasses have also switched to an orange frame, and just like before they can of course be removed whenever you like!

They’re rather delicate and small parts, so the box includes a spare pair as well!

Just like the original Hatsune Miku: Lat-type Ver. she also comes with two different microphones to choose from! ♪

Here we have the two different versions together! ♪

I wish everyone luck in drawing that A Prize!
Give her lots of love if you win her! ♡

Finally…

＼Dum dum dum….!!／

The final prize I’ll be looking at!

LAST Prize: Mikudayo Face Cushion

What an undeniable presence!!

Just having this in your room would be enough to ward off evil spirits!

However – don’t judge a face cushion by its looks! The cushion feels absolutely amazing!! Closing your eyes and stroking her is heavenly! (*Avoid opening eyes)

Anyway, these together with yesterday‘s blog brings my review of the Happy Kuji: Hatsune Miku 2014 Autumn Ver. to an end! If you saw anything that caught your eye be sure to try your luck in the Kuji!

Finally a quick notice! (・∀・)/

W Challenge Prize: Original Blanket

If you collect five tickets from the Kuji and send them in, you get a chance to win one of 390 original blankets illustrated by KEI! The design will be announced at a later stage! (o(｡・д・｡)o)

By the way, Luka’s little tail also moves about!

They’re not only cute, but also useful!

The ears can be used to hold up memos!

I can see myself using them to leave messages like “Going home at X o’clock” or “Headed out to lunch”! (･ω･)b

I’m sure many of you have already bought a few tries, but for those who haven’t be sure to try your luck! It’s a lot of fun and doesn’t even cost too much!
