Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition Winter 2016: Part 2

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I will be continuing my coverage of the Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition Winter 2016! You can find the previous article in the series here!

What is the Hobby Maker’s Joint Figure Exhibition?

The event is a special industry-only exhibition run by Good Smile Company which allows dealers and the media to get a close look at upcoming releases from various manufacturers. The event includes the most recent works of various different companies!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at some of Max Factory’s goodies as well as some other items that caught my attention from other companies!

– Max Factory –

Scale figures, figma and plastic models! ♪

* The smiley face is for items that were not allowed to be photographed!

Hatsune Miku: Orange Blossom Ver.

The pearl paintwork makes her look so pretty and shiny!

It really looks like she has jumped right out of the Project DIVA 2nd game! ☆

Cherno Alpha

This figure also features a lighting effect!

See here for an example ⇒ http://whl4u.jp/wh23/exhibit/gallery/en/#142

IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls and LoveLive figma!

The long awaited figma of the strongest hero alive! That expression is perfect…!

figma Prinz Eugen

“Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen, heading out!”

The ship parts give her impressive volume for a figma! I can’t wait to see what expressions she will come with! ♪

figFIX Kinomoto Sakura: Battle Costume ver.

I’m sure fans will remember this outfit well! ★

The use of translucent sections on the outfit makes for a very faithful rendition of the outfit! A lovely 1/12 scale figure of Sakura and Kero-chan!

– Phat! Company –

Lots of cute girls… and a ninja!


Minami Niita: LOVE LAIKA Ver., Azusa Miura, Ami & Mami Futami!

– WING / PLAY FUTURE / SOUYOKUSHA / TOMYTEC  –


All sorts of Nendoroids, figma and scale figures!

Both the Nendoroid and figma series are ‘open architecture’, meaning that other companies are also able to release figures under the brand name!

Anyway, that’ all for GSC distributed figures! Now let’s take a look at a few unrelated items that I found interesting! ♪

– TAKARA TOMY –

Ball jointed chibi Haikyu!! mascots, and Osomatsu-san beanbag plushies!

– MEDICOS ENTERTAINMENT –

More and more figures are joining the ‘minissimo’ series of chibi articulated figures! I wonder what will be joining next…

figma Akira Yuki & figma Sarah Bryant

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at FREEing’s Virtua Fighter figmas, starting off with…

From ‘Virtua Fighter’, the world’s first 3D fighting game released back in 1993, comes a figma of Akira Yuki! The figma is designed to recreate the look of Akira from the original Virtual Fighter game! You can pose him in various classic attacks including his ‘Tetsuzankou’. Keep this figma by your side and remember the good old days at the arcade!

  • Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
  • A flexible plastic is used for important areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
  • He comes with both a standard expression as well as a shouting expression for his victory pose.
  • A large variety of interchangeable hand parts are included to recreate various moves.
  • An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.
  • A 2P Color version is planned to be announced at a later date.

“You’re ten years too early!”

figmas made to faithfully recreate the original 3DCG graphics of the original Virtua Fighter! How can something so retro still be such a fresh idea?!

This first figma is Akira Yuki from SEGA’s masterpiece ‘Virtua Fighter’! Even the blocky appearance of his back has been faithfully preserved!

△ The rounding of his heels and upper arm are perfect!

You can even see a photo of him performing his classic ‘Tetsuzankou’ move over on the product page!

The body has been made slightly larger than most figma, and just a quick little movement of the arms and legs allows for a quick change in his pose!

Now he looks ready for combat! (∩`ω´)⊃)) 

The knees and hips are also nicely articulated allowing you to pose various different moves from the game! ♪

△ Poses like this make you want to pose him with an opponent!

He also of course comes with more than just the calm expression above!

You can also pose him shouting!! (*´Д｀)=з


／WINNER!＼

But… it’s not a fighting game with just one character…

So let’s give him an opponent! ★

figma Sarah Bryant

From ‘Virtua Fighter’, the world’s first 3D fighting game released back in 1993, comes a figma of Sarah Bryant! The figma is designed to recreate the look of Sarah from the original Virtual Fighter game! You can pose her in various classic attacks including her ‘Somersault Kick’. Keep this figma by your side and remember the good old days at the arcade!

  • Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
  • A flexible plastic is used for important areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
  • She comes with both a standard expression as well as a shouting expression for her victory pose.
  • A large variety of interchangeable hand parts are included to recreate various moves.
  • An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.
  • A 2P Color version is planned to be announced at a later date.

She is… rather sexy!!

Even with a block old-school appearance like this you can still easily tell the difference between the bodies of male and female characters!

Just look at the curves of her bottom!

It’s quite the dynamite body!! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

While modern day 3DCG looks incredibly realistic, there is definitely something about this retro CG that really captures the hearts of gamers!

Sarah also comes with a shouting expression to display her in the heat of a battle! (｀・ω・´)

This expression really makes her look ready for a fight! ♪ 

They both have such blocky faces, which means that taking photos from different angles really makes for quite a different impression!

A figma stand is included to keep them nice and stable, which means you can also pose them preforming a kick with ease! ★

The ponytail also is fitted with a joint for slightly different nuances in your poses! Enjoy all sorts of classic poses from the game and make your very own original poses as well! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

／YOU WIN＼

Display them both together for double the fun!

Nendoroid & figma Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.: Preview

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

It’s finally that time of the year again!

Time For Snow Miku-san!

The 2016 theme for Snow Miku was ‘Hokkaido Winter Sports‘, and the final choice for both the Nendoroid and figma versions of 2016’s Snow Miku was made by Kotatsu Otogi-san! ♥︎

The design for Rabbit Yukine was also by  Kotatsu Otogi!★

The winning design was decided during a live broadcast on the 22nd May 2015, where all the fans were able to voice their choice on which design should become Snow Miku 2016! Once again thanks to everyone who submitted designs as well as to everyone who took part in the selection process!!

The design this time was rather different due to the theme! How have the figure versions come out?! 

Let’s take a look at the Nendoroid first! Sculpted by Good Smile Company’s Kataharaitashi!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.

Snow Miku has reached its 7th anniversary this year, and once again this year’s design from piapro was decided by fans during a NicoNico Live Broadcast, and has been transformed into a Nendoroid! The theme this year was ‘Winter Sports’, and the winning design was this active, playful design illustrated by Kotatsu Otogi!

The knitted hat made in the image of an owl has been included with the figure as an actual Nendoroid-size knitted hat. She also comes with a variety of sporty goods including a snowboard, skiis with skii poles and goggles!

Rabbit Yukine is included once again also with a pair of goggles and a cute rabbit-eared hat! An alternate body part connected to the skiis is also included to display her in action, and a few other parts related to Winter sports are also included! Be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy playing in the Winter with this year’s Snow Miku!

I want to go out and play with her in the snow!!

The Sporty Miku-san surrounded with all sorts of Winter sporting goods!

I can’t wait to take her out into the snow and enjoy a Winter date with her!! But perhaps the item that catches the eye the most is the knitted hat – not a hat made from PVC but one made from actual fabric in Nendoroid size!!! It looks so nice and warm! Yukine’s hat isn’t made from fabric, but it also looks nice and warm and fluffy!ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

This is the alternate body that allows you to display her skiing together with Rabbit Yukine!! (●´ω｀●)

 

In addition to the Nendoroid, Max Factory will also be releasing a figma version!

figma Snow Miku: Snow Owl ver.

I can just imagine jumping around with them on the snow!

Just looking at that playful expression on her face makes me feel all excited! A taller version of this Miku sakes her look even more sporty than the Nendoroid version!

The figma also comes with skiis and various other Winter sports goods to enjoy in the snow!!

Her twintails this time around have a very dynamic appearance from the start, but seen she is perfect for action poses they are also fitted with joints that allow for more active poses like this! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

As mentioned on Hamako’s Twitter, these two items are currently on display inside the Snow Miku Street Car in Hokkaido! ♥︎

Just like last year I asked for some photos from Hokkaido and Hamako sent them through!! Let’s take a look at this year’s Snow Car!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

This year the design features not only photos of the Nendoroid and figma, but also the main visual illustration done by Mame no Moto! I know that I for one would get rather exciting seeing this driving around the city!!!

While the main colors of white and light blue keep that Winter feeling, the colorful snow flake patterns give it a really eye-catching design!! ☆

Then as if the cute street car wasn’t enough, these two figures were on display inside!!

△ A special display area made to look like a mountain of snow!!
I will be taking a closer look at the Nendoroid and figma before WonFes next year, so be sure to take a look at the reviews as well!! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Inside the car there are also SNOW MIKU 2016 event and figure adverts! (・∀・)σ

△ The adverts on the sides of the car are Snow Miku-related as well! ★

Plus…

A DIVA Module of the new Snow Miku too!!

She is looking as cute as ever this year!! I can’t wait to see her in action!! ♥︎

Once she is available you’ll be able to enjoy the module at all Project Diva arcade machines!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

The module is scheduled for December 2015!

Keep your eyes on the Weekly Diva Station for the latest updates!★

 

Plus… this year there was a special guest who made her debut at the street car…

Snow Miku Dayo-!

Nendoroid Snow Miku-san has finally been seen in her full size!!

She even managed to get her hands on a Nendoroid Snow Miku Dayo- which is scheduled to release next month!!

△ So… intense!!

I can’t wait to meet her in person!!

I’m sure she will come down to Tokyo at some stage for me to say hello!! (/ω＼)

This streetcar will be running in Hokkaido from the 22nd November 2015 until the 27th March 2016! ♪

As before, all the announcements in the train will also be switched to Miku’s voice actor, Saki Fujita-san! ♡

Please note the figures were only on display for one day, not while the train is running!

Anyway, let’s get on to how to purchase these figures!

figma Rin Shibuya: Jersey ver. & figma Uzuki Shimamura: Jersey ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I live a life of virtually zero exercise! When I think of sweating I think of going to concerts more than anything else! Anyway, following on from yesterday, today I’ll be looking at the remaining WonFes items!

 

Top: Nendoroid Co-de:
Cinderella Girls Rin/Uzuki/Mio Set – My First Star Co-de

Left: figma Uzuki Shimamura: Jersey ver.
Middle: figma Rin Shibuya: Jersey ver.

Right: Nendoroid Mako Mankanshoku:
Fight Club-Spec Two-Star Goku Uniform Ver.
⇒ See Mako’s review over here!

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

figma Rin Shibuya: Jersey ver. &
figma Uzuki Shimamura: Jersey ver.★

Oooooooooooohh!! (´□｀｡)

Dressed in their outfits from lessons!!

The New Generation girl’s Rin Shibuya and Uzuki Shimamura are back as figmas wearing their training jerseys! Let’s take a look at them one-by-one!

figma Rin Shibuya: Jersey ver.

From the anime series ‘THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS’ comes a figma of Rin Shibuya wearing a running jersey!

· Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
· She comes with both a serious expression brimming with self-confidence as well as a slightly flustered, unsure expression.
· Optional parts include arm parts to display her hands in her pockets and drop-shaped stickers to display her sweating.
· An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

Along with the smiling expression above, she also comes with this unsure expression!

…I’m sure this brings back memories for fans!

Next up…

figma Uzuki Shimamura: Jersey ver.

From the anime series THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS comes a figma of Uzuki Shimamura wearing a running jersey!

· Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
· She comes with both a gentle smiling expression as well as a clumsy expression for when she does something silly.
· Optional parts include a towel to place around her neck, an energy drink and drop-shaped stickers to display her sweating.
· An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

Her alternate expression is this clumsy expression! Just look how adorable it is!!

The towel to place around her neck is sculpted to actually look fluffy as if it were really made from towelling! (●´ω｀●)

This is how the blister packs are arranged!

△The included accessories are rather simple, but the fact that they
are wearing tracksuit pants allows for all sorts of easy poses!

Shiburin also comes with special arm parts that allow you to pose her with her hands in her pockets!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Display them in a lesson together!☆

△ You can see that both their lovely hair styles,
as well as the back of their jerseys have been beautifully sculpted!

Uh-oh… Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ!
It looks like they’ve been practising too hard and are completely exhausted now…!

△ You can peek up her jersey at her back too!

It looks like Shiburin needs to lie down for a bit…!

Hm? What’s that on her cheek… and arm?!

Drop-shaped Stickers!☆

These can be used to display the girls sweating after a hard day of training!  (/ω＼)

But what Shiburin really needs now…

“Rin-chan! Here! ♪”

figma Uzuki Shimamura: Jersey ver. comes with this optional part!

An Energy Drink!! ♡ 

She also comes with a special hand part that allows her to hold the can as well! It isn’t connected on though, so you can display the can all alone as well! ♪

Be sure to enjoy all sorts of fun poses!! (●´ω｀●)

The above was taken with the idea of Shiburin taking a shot of Uzuki… as an idol must be ready to smile for the camera whenever possible! Even when training!

Enjoy the girls training hard during a lesson or simply in every day scenes! ♪

figma Rin Shibuya: Jersey ver. &
figma Uzuki Shimamura: Jersey ver.

On sale at WonFes!! ♥︎

Preorders will also be available at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP from the 26th July at 16:00JST!!

figma Venus de Milo

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The bust I made while in middle school was Harry Potter! Back then everyone was trying hard to decide on what to make and I was just obsessed with Daniel Radcliffe…

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

figma Venus de Milo!★

‘The Table Museum’ is a series of figma figures based on famous works of art that almost anyone would recognize! The second figma to join the series is the mysterious statue found on the Greek island of Milos – Venus de Milo. The masterfully sculpted statue is known for both its graceful appearance as well as the intrigue inspired by her mysteriously missing arms. It allows one to enjoy the intricate sculpting as well as consider the many mysteries of ancient Greece.

· Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out the classic Venus de Milo pose and various other action poses.
· A flexible plastic is used for important areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
· A special stand, chest and head part are included to recreate the classic pose.
· Alternate parts such as her missing arm parts, an apple and various hand parts are also included for other poses.
· An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

Great job, FREEing! (●´ω｀●)

From the same ‘Table Museum’ series that allowed you to pose the Thinker in all sorts of fun and artistic poses comes a new addition –  figma Venus de Milo!

There were many times while I was taking photos of this figure that I forgot it was a figure! It really looks just like an actual sculpture, even though it’s a figma!

FREEing was kind enough to let me borrow the painted prototype, so I decided to review it for everyone today! (σ・∀・)σ 

Even though it is a well known sculpture, it’s amazing what changing the angle of the head or position of the camera can do to create a very fresh feeling!

Even in figma size, the details of the original sculpture are faithfully preserved!

Most people only know the Venus de Milo from the front, so seeing her from the back is actually a little strange! (Maybe that’s just me though!)

What a lovely bare back!! (； ・`д・´)

The clothing wrapped around her hips also has a kind of ‘grabbable’ appearance to it that I don’t see very often on figma figures!

Anyway, when one thinks of what makes the Venus de Milo so famous, the first thing that comes to mind is of course her mysteriously missing arms! This aspect has been faithfully included as you can tell!

For those unaware, the original sculpture was thought to have originally made made with arms, but they were for some reason mysteriously removed… leaving everyone who looks at her to wonder how exactly her arms and hands had been sculpted! It’s quite fun to imagine what kind of poses she might have been in…

But FREEing allows us to re-enact whatever we imagine!!

She comes with arm and hand parts!!

An alternate upper body part is also included which allows that arms to be attached! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

One of the more popular theories of her pose was that she was holding an apple out on her hand, so special hand parts and an apple to create that pose are also included! Yay! ♪

Plus, as if the bonus upper body part wasn’t enough… 

Legs! The Cloth! They’re moving!!

She actually comes with two different lower body parts as well! One is a non-moving stand of her hips down to the legs which allows for the classic pose, and the other has articulated legs and a flexible cloth allowing for poses as far as the imagination stretches!

As you can see…

There are an endless number of options to enjoy with her!!

Making poses with just the upper body is a lot of fun…
But you can take it one step further…

How about a situation like this!!

△ Feeling surprised as her hand is suddenly grabbed!

～♪～♪
*Romantic music*

“Wait… who is this?!”

This is the figure that was announced on the same day as figma Venus de Milo!

figma The Thinker: Plaster ver.!

I’m sure many of you may have already purchased figma The Thinker, but this version has a whole new charm! (●´ω｀●)

The difference in feel between the standard bronze version and plaster is rather noticeable, plus the coloring works  really well when displaying him with figma Venus de Milo! I would definitely recommend adding this version to your collection as well!

anyway, returning to Venus de Milo… she has clearly become more than just a sculpture with all these optional parts! She is free from her single pose and has become a free goddess!! (･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！

“Is this… is this love I feel…?”

 

“No… surely not…”

You can even display her troubled by her love life!

The only limit is your imagination!!

△ Trying out some dancing! Why not!

Enjoy the classic sculptures in articulated form, or in their classic look! ♡

figma Venus de Milo &
figma The Thinker: Plaster ver.

They are both up for preorder now!

figma Eli Ayase

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My birthday is just one day away from Elichi’s! However I like dried plums…!

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

figma Eli Ayase! ♡

From the anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a figma of the character who keeps things in order in the μ’s group, Eli Ayase!

· Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
· Three expressions are included: A gentle smile, a slightly mischievous wink as well as an embarrassed expression!
· Optional parts include her school bag and the very memorable hamburger from the series.
· Just like the previously announced figma Honoka Kosaka, she also comes with two glow sticks of her image color.
· An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

\ Clever! /
\ Cute! /

\ Elichika! ♡/

The smart, athletic student council president and μ’s member with an amazing body to boot! Now joining the figma series! She is the second μ’s member to join the series following on from figma Honoka Kosaka! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Max Factory announced all nine members will be joining the series, so the others are also on the way!

Honoka-chan, Elichi… who will be next…?!

By the way, the figma series features each of the characters wearing their Otonokizaka Academy Summer uniforms! This allows you to recreate all sorts of fun scenes from the show as well as create your own everyday scenes! (σ・∀・)σ

Optional parts include her school bag so you can pose her on the way to school! ♥︎

She also comes with a lovely winking expression that suits her so very well! I also really love the way the creases on her outfit look, as well as the fluttering look of her skirt! I can tell a lot of effort has gone into the sculpt of this uniform!

The more intricate details around her hips are amazing!

A white vest may be simple, but nobody can deny that it looks great! Anyway, I showed the school bag above but she also comes with various other optional parts! <○><○>

– Hamburger –

The delicious fast food meal! A hamburger is included!

This allows you to recreate a certain memorable scene from the series that most fans should remember! (σ・∀・)σ

Combined with the included embarrassed expression, it creates a scene where she just noticed you watching her eat! The expression even kind of looks like she is chewing when used in a pose like this! ♡

Other parts are also included to create all sorts of different situations!

– Glow Sticks –

These were also included with Honoka-chan! ★

Each character comes with glow sticks of their own image color, which means that Elichi comes with light blue glow sticks! The glow sticks have a diameter of about 3mm which easily allows other figmas to hold them as well! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

You can give them to some other characters to have them cheer on for a μ’s performance!

– Various Hand Parts –

Even left and right hand parts in a fox shape are included! What does the fox say?! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Clenched hands, peace hands and hands for dance scenes… so many hands are included for all sorts of possibilities! ♪

For example! The embarrassed face together with this hand…

The combination of embarrassment and anger in this pose is just perfect for a tsundere character! ♪

Find that hands that allow you to create the Elichi you want by your side!
Harasho! Be sure to add the cute Elichi in your collection! ♡

figma Eli Ayase

She is currently up for preorder! ♥︎

Product Page: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5031/

By the way, just like Honoka-chan, you can also pose her in her signature pose from the group shot in the ‘START:DASH!!’ song! Check the product page above for a photo! (。´ω｀ )ノ

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a ‘Glaring Expression’ as a bonus! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

figma Bubble Head Nurse

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Whenever I come back to work after a holiday I always have a strange urge to keep my desk all neat and tidy. Not that I ever manage to accomplish that… but it’s the thought that counts, right?

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at an item from FREEing that went up for preorder today!
 
 
This one’s not for the faint of heart!
Turn back now if you’re only here for the cute figures!! (´□｀｡)
 
 
 
 
 
 
figma Bubble Head Nurse!

From the highly acclaimed horror game ‘SILENT HILL 2’ comes a figma of the Bubble Head Nurse – the sinister monster with an oddly sensual charm!

· Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
· A flexible plastic is used for important areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
· She comes with both the knife and metal pipe as weapons, and an original revealed head part is also included.
· An articulated figma stand is included, allowing various poses to be taken.
· Be sure to display her with the previously released figma Red Pyramid Thing to bring out the atmosphere of Silent Hill even more!

Hyaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! (/ω＼)

Silent Hill’s demon nurse is joining the figma series thanks to FREEing!!

Just look at this bizarre mix of gross and sexy…!!

The sexy body is suddenly mixed with the frightful mouth and so blood stains… my mind is so confused! (´□｀｡)

The fleshy look of the body is done really well, not to mention the creases and stains on her nurse outfit!!

Plus when you look at her from the back…!

っ (*´Д｀)!!!

If her outfit was clear white and the veins weren’t quite so… zombie – you could easily make an angel out of this body…!!

FREEing really have done an incredible job keeping both the ‘creepy’ factor and the sexy side of the Bubble Head Nurse!

Areas such as her toes and chest feature a partition allowing for the unbalanced, wobbly poses that the Bubble Head Nurse is well known for in the game!♪

（；´-`）.｡oO（I was kind of worried she was going to jump to life and attack me while I was taking photos… )

As she is a figma, she also of course comes with various optional parts to play around with, so let’s take a look at those!

We will start off with her other ‘expression’ parts!♪

This is her ‘Bubble Head’ expression – you’ll notice a distinct lack of mouth when compared to the previous photos! The unnatural bumps and creepy, unexplainable look has been so beautifully sculpted!! (； ・`д・´)

Her arms and legs are amazingly done in both terms of sculpt and paintwork, but the work on the face is just amazing! You can’t help but stare… even though it’s really creepy!!

I-I don’t know how much longer I can continue this review.
I swear she just moved! ;_;

A-Anyway, moving on…

The first thing you might notice is the detail put into her nurse’s cap, but…. something else also seems rather different around the neck! (°д°；)

I’m sure many of you have already noticed… you can also pose her with this alternate head to recreate this other version from the game!

A rather different, ‘restrained’ expression compared to the other two!
It has a very distinct… rubbery kind of appearance thanks to the paintwork! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

It’s quite tempting to touch it to feel the difference between the texture of her skin and this mask!

In other words, three expressions are included!

Additionally, she also comes with both a knife and the metal pipe above, allowing for all sorts of different posing options! Simply pick the Bubble Nurse you want to run away from! (・∀・；)

Various different interchangeable hand parts also allow for original poses! Your very own Bubble Head Nurse to love!! ♡

Plus! It wouldn’t be Silent Hill without…

△ Who exactly is dragging the nurse away…?

I’m sure many fans will recognise this scene!!

△ Displayed with figma Red Pyramid Thing!

If you pick up a number of Bubble Head Nurses you can recreate the atmosphere of the game even more!! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

I don’t get much of an opportunity to play around with these kind of… scary figures, but I think next time I’ll prepare a little better beforehand to avoid any nightmares…

Recreate the nightmares of Silent Hill in your collection! ★

figma Bubble Head Nurse!

She is up for preorder now!

Product Page: figma Bubble Head Nurse

*Please note that these photos make use of a painted prototype. The final product may differ slightly from photos seen here.

 

Plus, as for figma Red Pyramid Thing who is perfect to display with her…

I’m sure there are many fans who might have missed out on him! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)


“I missed him!! I missed him!!”
△ What Red Pyramid Thing would look like throwing a tantrum.

I have some good news!!

“Eh…?!”

figma Pyramid Head is being rereleased!

Be sure to display the two of them together!!

figma Sinon

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I completely forgot that yesterday was Hinamatsuri! I’ll be one day late, but I’ll have some shirozake and hina-arare later today!

Anyway, today I’m going to be looking at an item from Max Factory going on sale later this month !

figma Sinon!

△ Climbing a tree for a better sniping position! ★

Just like the Nendoroid, Sinon’s figma is so much fun to move around and play with! ♡

The joints move around so very freely making to so easy to pose her with other items and figures! I quite enjoyed matching her up with rather unusual items! ♪

△ Sinon stops a fight between a Shield Liger and Mr.Penguin.

If you are very careful with balance you can make awesome action poses like this! <○><○>

△ A pistol and effect parts are also included!

I imagine that outdoor photos with Sinon would open up all sorts of fun opportunities! Now that it’s starting to warm up I hope that I can find the time to go on more figure photo outings! 

That reminds me! A quick reminder!!

━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─

I’m currently looking for a photo to use as my Spring Twitter header!

ヽ(･ω･´(｀･ω･´)ﾉ｀･ω･)ﾉ

━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─━─

But anyway, let’s get back to figma Sinon! ☆

She seems to have taken position on the photocopier…!


△She can easily take a prone sniping pose!

I wonder what she’s aiming at…? <○><○>

△ There are lots of woosers… but that’s not quite where she’s aiming…

If we follow her careful gaze…


△ This is Max Factory’s planning division… Takeshita-sensei’s (@yatasith) desk!

 Is that… what I think it is?! (｀・д´・；) *gulp*
 Let’s zoom in a little bit further…!

…?! 

△ A figma Flyboy Zombie looking rather hyped up on a motorbike!

Hurry up and take the shot!! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

It’s so much fun to make up little stories like using multiple figma figures! It really brings back the joy of playing with dolls from my youth… just with even more fun options! ♥︎

Now it seems she is crawling along searching for something…


△ An alternate back head part for her to look forward when prone is included!

 

 Huh…! Who’s that?!
△ A pistol… stockings… sneakers… it can only be her!!

She was out searching for Aoi Sakurai who is currently up for preorder at the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP! ★ 

△ Sinon decided to try and mimic Aoi’s pose!

If you’re looking for more about Aoi Sakurai, be sure to check out these blogs!

Max Factory Blog:
http://ameblo.jp/figma/entry-11992266939.html

Another thing you have to note about figma Sinon is her outfit!! 

△ When you take the time to look, it’s actually a rather sexy outfit!

The two parts on the sides of thighs are made from soft parts making sure you can see the gaps of skin nicely!

Let me try to make some more action poses that show off Sinon as the best sniper in GGO!  ☆


△ A joint is added underneath her chest allowing you to twist the body!
This works amazingly well for dynamic poses in mid movement!

As you can see above, she also comes with her favorite sniper rifle, Hecate II! (●´ω｀●)ゞ

The pistol from earlier can be holstered at her hips while she uses the rifle! ♪

△ Even in 1/12th scale, the curves of her hips and bottom are beautiful!

The scarf around her neck can be attached and removed whenever you like, and also comes with joints at the base! 

Finally a quick look at how she looks from the back! ♥︎


△ Looking out at the night scenery…

The amount of possibilities that come with each and every figma figure is so incredible! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Be sure to recreate all your favorite situations!!

figma Sinon!

She will be on sale later this month!

If you preordered her, just be patient a little while longer!
