Miho Nishizumi & Yukari Akiyama: School Uniform & Ankou Suit Ver.

Hello Everyone!! Suwabe here!! (@gsc_suwabe)
I’m back again and just as hyped up as I was last week! ★

Today I’m going to be introducing… 

Miho Nishizumi: School Uniform & Ankou Suit Ver. &
Yukari Akiyama: School Uniform & Ankou Suit Ver.!

Today’s blog feature’s photos taken directly by FREEing!! But before we take a look through the photos, let’s first take a closer look at what makes these figures so special!

＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼
★1/4th Scale!
The most standard sizes for scale figures are 1/7th and 1/8th scale figures, but these are both 1/4th scale! They stand around 33cm in height which is even bigger than an A4 file! Compared to other scale figures and Nendoroids they have quite an impressive presence! The large size also allows for some interesting ways to put them on display! (ΦωΦ)

★ Dress-Up Outfits!

The actual figures themselves are dressed in swimsuits, but they both comes with a school uniform and an ‘Ankou’ suit to put on over the swimsuit for a whole new look! Three different outfits to enjoy on a single figure!! Lovely!!

★ Alternate Poses!

Nishizumi-dono’s left arm and Akiyama-dono’s right arm both come with interchangeable parts for a slightly different pose! As the outfits are made from fabric, they fit onto either pose nice and easily!
＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼／＼

Let’s take a closer look at each of them shall we?
Starting with Nishizumi-dono!

From the popular anime series ‘Girls und Panzer’ comes a 1/4th scale figure of the Ankou Team’s commander – Miho Nishizumi! She also comes with both her Oarai Girls High School uniform as well as the Ankou (Anglerfish) suit from the series both made from real fabric which can be switched around whenever you wish, and special interchangeable parts are also included to create poses that suit each of the outfits!

In addition, the figure itself is wearing the swimsuit that was seen in the OVA, which means you can enjoy Miho in her school uniform, Ankou suit or swimsuit all with a single figure! Be sure to display her with the upcoming ‘Yukari Akiyama: School Uniform & Ankou Suit Ver.’ to recreate the two of them doing the Ankou dance together!

Her thighs have just the right size to them, and her waist has a nice womanly curve! Then we move up… and it’s such a lovely view!! I’m sure most of you are on the same page as me with that!

As usual, that area where the bottom connects to the thighs has a lovely sculpt to it! The little creases in her triangle bikini also look so lovely! 

Next up, Akiyama-dono!

From the popular anime series ‘Girls und Panzer’ comes a 1/4th scale figure of the Ankou Team’s loader – Yukari Akiyama! She comes with both her Oarai Girls High School uniform as well as the Ankou (Anglerfish) suit from the series both made from real fabric which can be switched around whenever you wish, and special interchangeable parts are also included to create poses that suit each of the outfits!

In addition, the figure itself is wearing the swimsuit that was seen in the OVA, which means you can enjoy Yukari in her school uniform, Ankou suit or swimsuit all with a single figure! Be sure to display her with the previously announced ‘Miho Nishizumi: School Uniform & Ankou Suit Ver.’ to recreate the two of them doing the Ankou dance together!

The swimsuit outfits are based on the OVA of the series, but in that Akiyama-dono was wearing short pants! The figure has been adapted to a triangle bikini to match with Nishizumi-dono! It’s reserved but still brings out the feminine side of Akiyama-dono!

 

I’m sure the areas that one chooses to look at differs between people, but I keep finding myself staring into the camouflage patterns! I mean, it’s a pretty unique pattern I definitely wasn’t looking at anything except for the pattern! The muscles on the back of her knees also look great!

(ΦωΦ) School Uniform!

The Oarai Girls High School uniform! The fact that you can dress-up the figure makes it seem a little bit like a doll! Even though you know exactly what is underneath the skirt, an angle like this that teases the eyes always gets to me!!

(੭ु´･ω･`)੭ु⁾⁾ Ankou Suits!

The back of the outfits has a zipper so you can even display them in the middle of getting dressed up like this! Not really a situation that you would expect to see very often, but that is exactly why it allows the mind to run wild with ideas!! For example… what kind of expression does Nishizumi-dono have on her face here?

The ankou hat included with the outfit can of course be placed on their heads, but as it is fabric you can also play around and have them hold it in their hands! (`・ω・´)b

Note: You may think the angles of these photos are biased but that is just your imagination.

Dress them up in your own collection!

Miyuki Usami and Miya Usami

Hello everyone! Suwabe here! (@gsc_suwabe) Today I’m going to be taking a look at two of FREEing’s latest 1/4th scale figures…

Miya Usami and Miyuki Usami!

Let me first say that this ‘genre’ is one of my absolute best!

This is the first Kahotan Blog post where all of the photos have been taken directly with my own two hands, and I really hope some of my shots will help show off just how amazing these two are for everyone!! Let’s get started…

First up, lets get an idea of the 1/4th Scale!

Size comparison with an iPhone6!
(I have to say that I really envy that iPhone at the moment…)

Now that I look at it, it’s not really the greatest size comparison though… but trust me when I say that these two are really big! You can’t miss them!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them!
First up is the older sister – Miyuki Usami!

A 1/4th scale figure from Tony’s illustration series, “Tony’s Bunny Sisters”. The sexy Miyuki Usami is the older of the Usami sisters, and has been sculpted with a cool and composed look on her face as her long wavy hair flows around her.

She is wearing a pure white bunny suit with net tights made from real fabric to faithfully recreate her lascivious pose and beautiful body for fans to enjoy. Her younger sister Miya Usami will be on sale separately, and the two figures are designed to be displayed together to more faithfully recreate the scene from the original illustration (certain parts are interchangeable).

First a close-up of her face!

An absolute beauty, as you’d expect from anything based on Tony’s illustrations! The unique appearance of her eyes from the illustration have been captured so beautifully on the figure!

Such an elegant expression with such a contrasting outfit!! It’s perfect!!

The sculpting of her hair is also so very fine and detailed, and I believe I have found the best angle to enjoy it from! (`・ω・´)

The area covered up by her hair intrigues me, but we’ll take a closer look at that on her sister! For now…
Belly Button & Thighs!!

The bunny-girl outfit clings to her beautiful curves so perfectly, allowing you to enjoy every little bump and dent on her body – just look at  the little indent at her belly button! Not to mention the slight little gap between her thighs that let’s you peek through and see her curvaceous body… let’s go and check the other side!

I don’t know what you call it… but that point where the thighs connect to the bottom… I will always look at this area on scale figures – from the bottom!

For those who are not familiar with FREEing’s bunny series, also note that the net tights are made from real fabric! You can run your fingers along her legs and get the full realistic experience even with a figure!! Just be careful not to open any holes while doing so!!

What?! Another close-up of her face?

You might think so, but take a closer look!!

To be more specific , take a closer look around her hands… you’ll notice a part of her outfit seems to be folded down…

But you’ll have to wait till she joins your collection to see any more!!

I really wish I could show you… I really WANT to show you, but this is as far as I can go on this blog!  At the very least you can try and picture it for yourself from this side photo!!

But now with the older sister done, let’s move onto Miya Usami!

A 1/4th scale figure from Tony’s illustration series, “Tony’s Bunny Sisters”. Miya Usami is the younger of the Usami sisters that still has a bit of an innocent side. She has been sculpted with an embarrassed look on her face as her body’s impressive curves are shown off by the black bunny girl outfit, red skirt and net tights that give her a rather devilish appearance.

Her older sister Miyuki Usami will be on sale separately, and the two figures are designed to be displayed together to more faithfully recreate the scene from the original illustration (certain parts are interchangeable).
Back Shot! 
Miya has her hair cut much shorter than her older sister, but that also means you get a nice look at her sexy open back!
From the Top!

The same goes for her older sister above, but the slight pink coloring of her fingers and around her bosom are really lovely! I just want to dive in!!

From the Bottom!

For the second time… that point where the thighs connect to the bottom… I don’t know how long she is going to be able to keep those tights on so neatly.
From the Bottom! #2


The texture of the outfit looks so realistic – she looks as smooth as a dolphin in it!! I have come to the conclusion that this is a figure designed to be touched!

Interchangeable Parts!

Just like her older sister, Miya also comes with an alternate chest part for a slightly more revealing pose. I have to admit I was a little nervous taking photos of her in the offices with everyone watching me so I wasn’t quite able to enjoy her to the fullest… but I’m sure everyone will be able to once she joins their collections. (Me too…)

But then when they are together…!

They both also comes with interchangeable right arms so they can be posed in the same position as Tony’s original illustration! Miya-chan also comes with a red skirt part! (As if the bunny suit wasn’t enough!)
Crossed arms! Embarrassed expression!

From this side angle you also get such a nice view of… well… of the girls!!

Then from the back…!

I don’t think I need to speak any more! Just let the photos do all the talking!!
Simply go back and enjoy them – as singles or intertwined with each other!

Miya Usami and Miyuki Usami!

UP FOR PREORDER NOW!!
Preorders for both at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 15th June 2016!

Anyway that’s all for today! I hope to see you all again next week! (*´ω`*)

SNOW MIKU

Today’s Main Feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

SNOW MIKU!

A huge 1/4th scale figure of SNOW MIKU, standing an impressive 42cm in height! The coloring of the popular Hatsune Miku figure has been switched over to the Snow Miku color scheme, with her translucent skin glowing and snowflake patterns added to various areas of her outfit creating a mystical atmosphere to the figure.
Fans will be proud to keep Snow Miku’s angelic smile by their side to enjoy whenever they please – in an impressive scale that stands above the rest!

Ooooooohhhh!!! (´□｀｡)

The beautiful songstress standing before be with a snow flake on her hand!! Just look at her lovely smile which can be enjoyed in all it’s 1/4th scale glory!

⇒ Product Details: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5481/

Her pale skin matches with the snowy look, making her look like a beauty from a snow country!

The metallic silver, white and light blues of her outfit all look lovely too!

△ The skirt has an almost electronic feel to it as well!

This giant black box is the packaging for this huge figure! (・∀・)

It’s gigantic!!

The little Miku beside the box is the original figma Snow Miku! I think it gives a nice feeling for the size!

This is how the other side of the packaging! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ Such a lovely, stylish design! ♪

The box is not only tall, but also has quite some depth!! 

△ It’s like a wall to the figma!

The silhouette on the side has a holographic effect that gives a nice high-class effect! ♡

△ I want to put the box on display as well as the figure!

Anyway, let’s get back to the main figure!

She stands approximately 420mm in height!

The size also allows for nice close attention to the smaller details! The twin-tails twirling around her give her an impressive width as well!

△ The hair slowly becomes a darker blue down toward the tips!

The parts of the twin-tails that connect to the head with a metal peg to keep them in nice and secure! 

△ Compared with the figma!

The snowflake on her hand is a separate part that can be attached and removed as you please!

△ It connects into the hand nice and securely! ♪

Also, while the arm cover covers up most of her arm, if you look from a lower angle you can see the arm has been sculpted all the way up! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！

This angle also shows the layered effect of her skirt and tie! ♪

Add the snow songstress to your collection!

SNOW MIKU

She is currently up for preorder! ♡

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will be open until the 2nd March 2016 at 21:00JST!! Don’t miss out!! (*´Д｀)=з

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

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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!

Index: Bunny Ver.

Today’s Main Feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at FREEing’s…

Index: Bunny Ver.!

From ‘A Certain Magical Index The Movie – The Miracle of Endymion Streaming-‘ comes a 1/4th scale figure of Index dressed up in a bunny girl outfit! The net stockings make use of actual material for a more realistic appearance, and the figure itself is filled with highlights that fans are sure to enjoy!

The outfit is quite a change from her normal look, so be sure to take a close look at her at all sorts of different angles – there is no doubt that you will be charmed by her newfound choice of wardrobe!

“Look, look! This time I’m dressed up as a bunny rabbit!”

Index all dressed up in a much more sultry outfit compared to her normal habit, with her long hair let loose and her beautiful silver eyes gleaming in the light!

The figure captures her youthful curves while also giving her body a really soft and sexy appearance! Those thighs look so squishy!! (/ω＼)

The cute Aliceband with bunny ears also looks so cute and shiny!!

△ Features glossy paintwork to match the ears with the outfit!☆

This is yet another addition to FREEing’s long ongoing series of…

1/4th Scale Bunny Girls!! ♡

⇒ See the full search results HERE!

Anyway, let’s get back to today’s main feature! ♪

What an innocent smile!! (´□｀｡)

I can almost hear her playful voice bouncing around cheerfully in my head just by looking at this adorable face!! The wavy mouth and tightly clenched hands really show off her fun-loving personality!

But perhaps the most noticeable point of the figure is these lovely net tights!! Even though Index has such a youthful body, the net tights really add a sexy side to the figure as well!

Just like all the previous figures in the ongoing series, the tights are made from actual fabric to provide a very realistic appearance! ♪

Plus if we look from the back we can see that lovely little hollowed out section made from her bent knees!!

The detailed sculpting tends to all sorts of fans all at once!

Not to mention that the figure is an impressive 410mm in height! It’s like Index is really right beside you – and you can enjoy her from absolutely any angle you please!!

Be sure to add the adorable bunny rabbit to your collection!

Index: Bunny Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from the 21st January! ♪

Today’s main feature…

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

Laevateinn!

From the popular application game ‘Phantom of the Kill’ comes a figure of the Kill Princess ‘Laevateinn’! The figure is based on the beautiful illustration from the game and brings out all of her charm for fans to enjoy right by their side. The game has recently passed its one year mark, and now fans can add the charming Kill Princess to their figure collections as well!

“Leave… or be erased.”

From the smartphone RPG based around strategy and drama ‘Phantom of the Kill’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the character voted as most popular, Laevateinn!

Her characteristic long winding hair has been faithfully sculpted based on the official illustration from the game! The rather simple standing pose really comes to life thanks to the dynamic feel of the hair and stance! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ The current stand is provisional! (・∀・)

The outfit is so very original and such a pleasure to look at! With the zipped up collar and boldly open sleeves! Her mouth and hands are all hidden away, but on the other hand…

Just look at that side boob!!

Not to mention the lovely curve of her back which is an absolute pleasure! I also want to point out the rather tight pants that contrast with her loose top… and just look at her cute little bottom!! (´□｀｡)

△ The creases in the material really help you picture what’s behind! (/ω＼)

Her lovely long legs are all wrapped up in belts – rather tight belts at that, as you can see the pressure of them on the skin!! ☆

The sharp, dark weapon she holds also really contrasts with her soft, pale skin beautifully! っ(σ・∀・)σ

I can just imagine her listless voice playing through my head while I was taking these photos! Definitely a figure that can be enjoyed from all sorts of different angles, from both fans of the character and just figure fans! ★

FREEing’s latest scale figure, not to be missed!

Laevateinn!

She is currently up for preorder! ★

Product Page: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5408/

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will be open until the 13th January 2016! Don’t miss out! http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/frescawd00096.html/

Plus, from next week sometime around Christmas eve, these two swimsuit figures will also be coming up for preorder from FREEing!! ♥︎

Megurine Luka: Swimsuit Ver.

Hatsune Miku: Swimsuit Ver.

These figures are just 1/12th in scale, making them easy to display in any collection! Even though they are quite small, they are also sculpted with lovely attention to detail!


△ Just look at the curves of her stomach!!

Nendoroid Plus: Hatsune Miku x CuteRody Pullback Cars

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have recently developed an interest in toys that can make sweets or do some other kind of cooking. Maybe I’ll buy one as a Christmas present! (for myself…)

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at this product from FREEing…

Nendoroid Plus: Hatsune Miku x CuteRody Pullback Cars!★

The famous toy horse created in Italy ‘Rody’ as well as the Nendoroid Plus series of Vocaloid characters are being released together as a collaboration project!

Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len and Megurine Luka are all available and each come with a CuteRody that matches up with their image color. The CuteRody horses are also made as pullback cars allowing you to give the Vocaloid characters an adorable ride as well!

◇　Hatsune Miku & CuteRody (Mint)
◇　Kagamine Rin & CuteRody (Lemon)
◇　Kagamine Len & CuteRody (Lemon)
◇　Megurine Luka & CuteRody (Peach)

A cute collaboration between Miku-san and Rody!

The pullback cars run off magnets for even more fun as well!! ♡

As soon as you insert the figures into the Rody-shaped pullback cars it will trigger the wind-up and they will drive along! ★

This is the same mechanism that was included with the Nendoroid Plus: Vocaloid Pullback Cars released back in 2010!

△ It was always so fun to watch them drive forward! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

Let’s take a closer look at each of them one-by-one! ♪

Hatsune Miku & CuteRody (Mint)

The Rody matches her hair color perfectly! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

I love the fact that the one dot on the size has been changed into a musical note too! ♪

Kagamine Rin & CuteRody (Lemon)

A lovely yellow Rody to match with Rin-chan!

Rin-chan’s big ribbon has quite a powerful presence!

Kagamine Len & CuteRody (Lemon)

The same yellow Rody for Len as well! ☆

The Rody design really does have such a cute form!!  ( ๑॔˃̶◡ ˂̶๑॓)◞♡

♥︎ Megurine Luka & CuteRody (Peach)

A stylish pink to match the mature Luka-san! (/ω＼)

The Rody’s all have the same face, but some how the last one definitely seems to have a much more ladylike expression!!

Each of the characters has also been fully sculpted on the back as well, making them fully enjoyable as figures as well!!   ε=(｡・д・｡)

△ The chibi look of their hair is so cute! ♪
It kind of looks like Rody’s ears are on the characters from here!

Unfortunately as the samples I was taking photos of are still just prototypes I wasn’t able to capture the pullback movement, but it seemed like a waste not to have some kind of movement… so I decided to make a frame-by-frame GIF instead!

It was rather fun to make…! ☆

I actually made an even long er GIF, but it went over the file-size limit for the blog… so I had to give the cut version…（；∀；）

The actual products will of course only move forward when the character is in the seat, so don’t get the wrong idea from my playful GIF!

An adorable collaboration to join your collection!

Nendoroid Plus: Hatsune Miku x CuteRody Pullback Cars!

They are currently up for preorder! ♪
