▲ Note the detailed little bristles on the end of the device!
Plus she also comes with one more optional part…
An E Tank is also included! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

Optional parts include the a tea set, a fairy and a burnt scone all perfect for England! He also features a special round base decorated with roses. The sarcastic character who hates to lose but also has a bit of a romantic side is ready to join your collection – make sure you don’t miss out on Nendoroid England!
“It-It’s not like I’m doing this for you, okay?!”
From the anime series “Hetalia The World Twinkle” comes a Nendoroid of the tsundere English gentleman who loves tea and tradition – England! His iconic eyebrows and green outfit have all been carefully converted into Nendoroid size!
▲ The gentle color and slightly wavy look of his hair is cute!
Optional parts include a tea cup and saucer, ideal for England!
The white cup is filled with delicious looking tea and the Nendoroid includes a hand part to let him hold the cup and enjoy an elegant tea time! (∩・∀・)∩
A fairy is also included to display with him!
The strange round form has captured together with the cute wings and stumpy tail! The fairy also comes with a separate base and stand allowing for all sorts of different possible scenes to be put together – you can even pose Nendoroid England petting him!
Anyway, let’s move on and take a look at his different face plates! The first expression is the one used above which is his standard, confident expression.
Next up we have this tsundere expression which looks a bit upset but with a cute blush on his cheeks! ★
Plus if we take a closer look at what he is holding, you will notice that he has baked a delicious… burnt… scone!! (´□｀｡)
(As expected of his cooking skills…!)
Moving onto his third face plate: a shouting expression with white eyes!
He also comes with a pointing hand to bring the scene a little more! Which character do you think is on the other side of that pointing finger?
If you play around with poses the expression can actually be used a a bit of a shocked looking expression as well!
There are all sorts of options with the various face plates, optional parts and posing possibilities, so be sure to play around until you find the pose that you like best! ♥
▲ Here it looks like he is making the “shhhh” pose! ♪
You can also display him with the previously released Nendoroid Japan to bring out the world of Hetalia even more! ☆

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this 1/7th scale figure of… Kouhai-chan!♡
From the popular web manga posted on Twitter that also became an anime series, “Tawawa on Monday”, comes a 1/7th scale figure of the junior employee often leaves herself a little too open – Kouhai-chan!
The figure is based on the 91st manga panel that was posted to Twitter, and features Kouhai-chan in a slightly transparent white collared shirt, skin-colored stockings with a realistic texture and many more amazing details! The chair and table are included with the figure, and both have been carefully painted to capture the textures as faithfully as possible.
In addition, she also comes with an alternate face part designed by the original author Kiseki Himura, allowing fans to enjoy a rather different situation! Be sure to enjoy the bouncy “Tawawa” on Monday, or any other day of the week with this figure sitting by your side!
Beaujolais Nyu-bo
From the Twitter-based manga created to sooth the stress of Mondays, “Tawawa on Monday”, comes a scale figure of Kouhai-chan!
The figure is based on the 91st panel of the manga, which featured a rather tipsy looking Kouhai-chan showing off her impressive bosom with a rather innocent expression on her face!
Kouhai-chan’s lovely looking body is one thing, but the atmosphere created by the table and sofa makes for a lovely figure filled with so many different details to enjoy!
It’s like a little miniature diorama of Kouhai-chan enjoying some “Beaujolais Nyu-bo” wine! If we take a closer look at the table you can even see it has been painted and sculpted with a little bit of wear and tear for an more realistic appearance!
▲ The peeled off part on the corner…!
The sculptor for this figure is Good Smile Company’s Kai Sasaki (Shashaki), and it has been painted by Good Smile Company’s Ekoshi!! These are the same two members that worked together on Uzuki Shimamura: Crystal Night Party Ver.!
▲ Released in November 2016
Anyway, let’s get back to Kouhai-chan!
That drunk-happy look in her eyes has been captured perfectly, and if we take a look down at her feet you’ll notice she has kicked off her shoes!
The shoes themselves are included but are not attached to anything, so you can move them around freely as you wish!
While we are here I also want to point out the tip of her stockings! The sculpting and paintwork here is simply amazing!! You can literally see where each of the toes are right through the stocking!(/ω＼)
Plus if we take a look from the side…
We get a lovely look at her thighs! (*´ｪ`*)
The slit in her skirt even provides a slight peek at her bare skin where the stockings end! Plus the details of the underside of her knees and just the overall smooth stocking-look of the legs is such a pleasure to the eyes!
The bottle of wine that she is drinking is also included complete with the Beaujolais Nyu-bo logo and more details! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”
▲ The label design was also done by the sculptor, Kai Sasaki! ♪
In her hands she holds a wine glass with the last few drops of wine swirling around, made with a translucent red!
▲ The way she is holding the glass and the other hand leaning
on the sofa!! The position of her fingers is amazing!!
Speaking of wine…
She also has some wine in her cleavage!!
She comes with this alternate part to display wine dripping down her cleavage!!
The figure also allows you to enjoy all the areas that were never visible in the original illustration! From the back you can see just how see-through her white shirt is – the bra straps and her shoulder blades are all so beautifully detailed, and combined with the creases in her shirt… I’m just left speechless!
A look from the other side of what the illustration showed!
If you look close you can make out the black outlines of where her bra is!!
You really don’t see it at first glance, but the difference in color is definitely there – intricately balanced!! You can also see the black strap going up over her shoulder very clearly from this angle!
In addition, she also comes with an alternate face which was designed by the original author, Kiseki Himura! (∩・∀・)∩
A very different look, but just as cute!!
This version is perhaps more suited to the wine slipping down her cleavage, as if she just noticed it with a bit of surprise in her face! The innocent and slightly tipsy look is definitely still there though! Depending on the angle you use it can also be used for other purposes though…
For example, having her look down at you!!
It is definitely a figure that allows for all sorts of interesting situations and it can really get the mind running!! I hope everyone will enjoy it as much as I have! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))
Grab her innocent smile for yourself! The 1/7th scale… Kouhai-chan!
Most Good Smile Company products are made to order, so if you want to be sure that you get your hands on them preordering is always the safest bet! Make sure you don’t miss out! (∩・∀・)∩
Today I’m going to be taking a look at… Nendoroid Megumin: School Uniform Ver.!★
From the anime series ‘KONO SUBARASHII SEKAI NI SYUKUFUKU WO! 2’ comes a Nendoroid of the wizard with delusions of grandeur and an affinity to the Explosion spell – Megumin! This time around she is wearing the school uniform that featured in the flashback scene from episode two of the anime series!
She comes with three face plates including a winking expression, the confident expression she had when her younger sister complimented her as well as a desperate chewing expression. Optional parts include two crayfish, bread crusts, a bread packet as well as her familiar, Chomusuke! She can also be posed holding Chomusuke! Be sure to display her with the previously released characters from the series!
Megumin is joining the Nendoroids once again, this time in her school uniform!
This week I have taken a look at Nendoroid Kazuma, Phat!’s Megumin and now this alternate version of Megumin’s Nendoroid! It has been a week filled with KonoSuba! ♪
The other day Tori Bird made a video review of the Nendoroid, so be sure to take a look at that as well! (っ’ω’)っ))
Some of the longer Nendoroid fans may notice that the package design is slightly different to previous Nendoroids!ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ
Here is the box compared with the previously released Nendoroid Aqua and Nendoroid Megumin! You can see the overall size is slightly smaller than before!
The blister pack inside is the kind that keeps the front flat allowing for this difference in size! this has been used with Nendoroids in the past!
If you compare this with Nendoroid Megumin which had the blister pack that sticks out at the front, you can see the difference in size! I personally much prefer the new design as it makes it much easier to open up! (/ω＼)
The new version also helps prevent that sudden opening where all the parts go flying out and get lost!
▲ I think it’s easier to see the difference with this photo!
Anyway, let’s take a closer look at figure itself!
She comes with a winking expression, a confident expression, a chewing expression and various other alternate arms and other parts to enjoy! ♪
First up let’s look at the top-right, double crayfish!
This can be used together with the confident expression to recreate the scene where Megumin was admired by her younger sister! ε=(｡・д・｡)
The bread crusts and bag of bread that showed her eating conditions in the series are also included which work great with the chewing expression!
▲ The frantic look on her face has been captured nicely! (・∀・)ｲｲ!!
In addition, she also comes with the adorable Chomusuke! ★
▲ The cross on her face and the little wings are so cute!
Chomusuke can be displayed alone like above, but also includes an alternate body which allows her to be held by Megumin like so! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
In addition, you can also use the various parts that were included with the original Nendoroid Megumin to allow for even more posing options! For example…
▲▲ An embarrassed Megumin holding the crayfish▲▲
▲▲ A confident Megumin in her standard outfit! ▲▲
In addition, you can use Megumin’s new body part together with Nendoroid Yunyun and display the two of them back in their school days!! ε-(o´ω｀o)

He also comes with some magical effect parts to cast “Create Water”!
He comes with three different face plates!
First up is the face plate above – a standard expression that can be used for all sorts of poses! His second expression is the shouting expression based on the scene where he was running away from a giant toad in a rather panicked state!
▲Works great when displayed with Nendoroid Aqua‘s crying expression!
It can also be used as a more of a shocked expression!

A very Kazuma-like mischievous expression! ( °д°)
He even comes with the panties that he stole from Nendoroid Megumin using the “Steal” spell! ★

Sometimes when I’m tired I go the Pokémon Center to listen to the healing sound of the machine. It makes me feel all better! ～♪～♪～♪♪♪～
Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at… Nendoroid Giovanni & Mewtwo!
From the popular “Pokémon” game series comes a Nendoroid of Giovanni together with Mewtwo! Giovanni comes with three face plates including his standard expression, a mysterious shadowed expression as well as a realistic expression that contrasts the chibi appearance of the Nendoroid.
The “R” logo on his chest pocket comes in both the standard Team Rocket red as well as an alternate version for Team Rainbow Rocket. Mewtwo comes with Psystrike parts as well as an alternate arm part to easily pose combat scenes! Be sure to enjoy both Giovanni and Mewtwo in your collection!
The leader of the Team Rocket, Giovanni is joining the Nendoroids!! Her black suit featuring the “R” logo as well as his bold smile have all been captured perfectly in Nendoroid size! (´□｀｡)
His first face plate is the belligerent smile you see above, but he also comes with this mysterious shadowed face plate for some more cunning poses!
(He is definitely planning something evil…)
The face plate itself has the shadow directly painted onto it to really capture the darker side of Giovanni in the shadows!
Moving onto his third face plate, we have a rather unique realistic expression!
A Nendoroid expression with the eye sockets actually sculpted into the face plate might be a first! The nose and mouth are also sculpted in a different style to normal, creating a really strange realistic look that mismatches with the chibi body in a strange yet cute way!
Even so, he still retains a certain amount of chibiness to keep that cute Nendoroid-like feeling! ♪
Plus, he also comes with this iconic Pokémon!
Mewtwo!
The design has been carefully altered in order to both preserve the unique form of Mewtwo’s body while also matching the size and proportions to look good when displayed together with the Nendoroid!
The legs are attached with a ball joint, the arms have small Nendoroid joints and the chest area is also articulated allowing for all sorts of different poses!!
▲ The tail can also sway from left to right!
In addition, “Psystrike” attack effect parts are also included together with alternate arm parts to pose battle scenes! ♪
Be sure play around with various different poses once the Pokémon joins your collection!
▲ Just changing the pose can sometimes have for a bit of a wistful look!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at… Ruler/Jeanne d’Arc!★
From the popular smartphone game “Fate/Grand Order” comes a 1/7th scale figure of the Ruler servant, Jeanne d’Arc! She is posed dashing forward in a courageous pose with her massive flag in hand ready to lead her team to victory, while also capturing her pure and noble appearance as a saint. The figure has been intricately sculpted to capture the illustration of Jeanne as faithfully as possible in figure form!
“This is the work of the Lord!”
The Ruler servant who led a victory in the hundred year war, “Jeanne d’Arc” has been transformed into a magnificent 1/7th scale figure!
In her hands she holds her Noble Phantasm, “Luminosité Eternelle” in hand with a confident look as she charges forward into battle! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ
If you look at her from the side, it feels a bit like you are running into battle beside her!
The entire figure has a really dynamic look to it, including the smaller details such as her sleeves and the accessories on her head armor!
Personally I really love the little peek you get at her bare skin when you look up the sleeves!
Let’s take a closer look at her facial expression! The open mouth shouting out in battle together with the sharp eyes make her look ready for combat!
▲A confident Ruler, marching into battle!
When you look closely at her chest you’ll also notice the fabric is stretched out due to the way she is moving, capturing the dynamic movement even more!ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ
While her upper body is mostly covered up, down by her skirt she is showing off a lot more skin as her skirt twirls around her…
In fact she is quite unarmored from the waist down! (Not that that’s a bad thing!)
Here is a quick spin of the entire figure! ヽ(･∀･)ﾉ━(∀･ﾉ)━(･ﾉ )━ヽ( )ﾉ━( ヽ･)━(ヽ･∀)━ヽ(･∀･)ﾉ━
If you want to spin her around more slowly, you’ll have to grab her for yourself! ♡
Here is a close-up of the tip of her flag!
The golden borders of the flag are so amazingly detailed, and even the ties connecting the flag to the pole are amazingly realistic! (∩・∀・)∩
▲ The tip of the pole has also been carefully sculpted!
The flag will be very carefully packaged at release, so you’ll have a safe place to store it necessary!
▲ The movement of the flag has also been captured so nicely!
On her hips you’ll find her iconic sword sheathed away! ★
The iconic design of the sheath and grip have all been faithfully captured, and the various different textures all over the figure provide amazing contrast of the different materials – from her metallic armor to the soft looking skin! ♪

I want to change my work desk into a kotatsu! The cold weather here in Japan has been continuing for quite awhile now – I hope everyone is keeping warm!
Today I’m going to be taking a look at… Nendoroid Snow Miku: Crane Priestess Ver.!☆
2018 marks the 9th anniversary of Snow Miku, and the 2018 design was once again selected by fans through online votes between a selection of outfits all submitted to piapro by fans! This year the theme was “Animals of Winter Hokkaido”, and the winning Snow Miku design was this version based on a red-crowned crane illustrated by Taichadon! The illustration has now been converted into this adorable Nendoroid!
The hood can be attached and removed for a different look, and she comes with three different face plates including a standard expression, a wistful smiling face as well as a prayer face with closed eyes and a touch of lipstick. Optional parts include a kagura bell and folding fan to pose her performing traditional dances! A cypress stand to place the tools on as well as kneeling parts are also included to display her in prayer, and a crane made from ice is also included for her to hold in her hands.
In addition, a large base featuring a paved road and torii archway is also included to bring out the temple atmosphere, and she comes with a broom to display her cleaning the temple grounds! The snow on the base can even be removed for even more display opportunities! Enjoy the relaxed Snow Miku priestess in all sorts of adorable Nendoroid poses!
Snow Miku performing dance and prayer dressed as a priestess!
All of her optional parts and face plates were revealed last week together with the opening of the WonHobby site! Tori Bird has also made a video that takes a closer look at the figure!!
Let’s start with a look at the packaging! (っ’ω’)っ))
A clear box covered in snowflakes with a special wrapping in the centre!! The red and white design with the decorative cord make for a very elegant package!
This is how the packaging looks from the back! ♪
A couple of posing examples together with an explanation about Snow Miku!
————————————————–
Snow Miku is a character designed to enliven the Winter of Hokkaido. She was originally created due to a snow sculpture of Hatsune Miku made at the 2010 Sapporo Snow Festival, and has been a part of the ‘SNOW MIKU’ festival in Hokkaido every year since. The 2018 theme for Snow Miku is ‘Animals of the Winter Hokkaido’.
————————————————–
The design this time around was based on this illustration by Taichadon! The illustration also features on the back of the packaging! ε-(o´ω｀o)
It’s quite a different style of packaging to standard Nendoroids! ☆
Remove the center label to reveal Miku covered in snowflakes!
As you can see there are all sorts of optional parts! The blister pack comes with two different layers in order to fit them all in! ♥
▲ The torii archway and paved road really stand out!
These two parts can be placed together to make a rather large display base like so! (*´ｪ`*)
The snow parts along the edges can be removed or moved into any position you like! ♪
As she comes with a broom you can even pose her sweeping away some of the snow! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”
As you may or may not have noticed, she also comes with a rather special round base that allows her to easily be displayed on this paved area! ☆
Using this base you can pose with in all sorts of poses without ruining the atmosphere with a full-sized Nendoroid base!
As with most Miku’s you can balance the Nendoroid on her hair, but I would recommend you make use of the base both to keep your figure safe as well as have a more dynamic and stable pose!(∩・∀・)∩
The sleeves of her outfit are based on the appearance of a red-crowned crane, the Hokkaido animal that this design was based around! ☆
As usual, Rabbit Yukine is also included to be posed together with her!
Note the iconic coloring of his ears…
… and the rather warm looking cape he is wearing!
He also comes with an alternate sitting body for different poses! Miku herself also comes with many more other parts that bring out the “priestess” side of her design, including a cypress stand, kagura bell and folding fan! The bell has real ribbons tied along the end for all sorts of posing options!
She also comes with a crane made from ice!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ
Obviously it’s not really made from ice, but makes use of a translucent material to capture that icy appearance! Even though it is even smaller than Rabbit Yukine, the attention to detail is lovely! ♪
You can even pose Snow Miku holding the crane like this! Simply find the pose that you think suits her the best!!
Be sure to add the 2018 Snow Miku to your collection! Nendoroid Snow Miku: Crane Priestess Ver.!☆

The 5th Wonda-chan NEXT DOOR PROJECT figure is illustrated by Gin, an artist well known for works in various light novels and games! The figure has been sculpted by Ken Kawanishi (GRIMROCK!) ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ
▼ What is the Wonda-chan NEXT DOOR PROJECT
The illustrations of Wonda-chan used on the official WonFes guidebook are always done by a different illustrator for each event, and for the past few events a ‘NEXT DOOR’ Wonda-chan illustration – a second illustration that is done by an up-and-coming illustrator – has been done together with the main Wonda-chan! This secondary Wonda-chan is then made into a figure, creating the perfect souvenir for each Wonder Festival event! Good Smile Company takes part as the manufacturer for the figure!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this 1/8th scale figure of… Warspite!
From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a 1/8th scale figure of the second Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, Warspite! The figure is based on the illustration of her that featured in the Kanmusu Catalogue Vol.3, which captures her in a majestic standing pose complete with her impressive ship parts.
The ship parts have been sculpted in intricate detail, and can be placed closer or further apart depending on how you wish to display her. The turrets are also all articulated allowing you to place them at the angle that you think suits best. A figure worthy of the name “The Grand Old Lady” – be sure to add her to your fleet!
“My name is Warspite, the second Queen Elizabeth-class battleship.”
The second Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, Warspite is joining the KanColle scale figure fleet!! Her lovely long blond hair and cute hairstyle have been captured carefully on both the front and back! ♪
Plus the impressive ship parts are huge!!
The turret batteries, planks on the deck, cranes and everything else have all been sculpted in such careful detail!! ε-(o´ω｀o)
▲ You can also open out the sides to display them wider apart!
The staff shaped like a mast that she holds has also been sculpted with amazing attention to detail!! ☆
▲ The careful balance of her fingers is also lovely!
The large turrets on the sides are also articulated allowing you to place them in any angle that suits your collection!
▲ This is the standard angle, but you can easily twist it around!
To contrast the cold metallic look of her ship parts, we can look to her lovely warm and soft looking skin!!
▲This area around her shoulders is fantastic!
Her impressive bust and unique outfit look great from above, but looking from a lower angle is just as impressive!
▲ Each and everyone of her fingernails has been carefully painted! ♪
Even though Warspite has a rather compelling body, there is something about her design that makes her look so elegant at the same time! She has such a regal appearance!
The design of the figure is based on an illustration from the Kanmusu Catalogue Vol.3 which really did feature her in a very majestic pose!
Here is one of my favorite details on the figure!! ☆
The creases in her socks just under the knees!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
There is something about this crease that really makes it feel like these socks are being “worn”. It adds a lovely realistic aspect to the figure!!
I think most people will first focus on the huge ship parts, and her impressive bust and other details above her hips, but there is actually a lot of really impressive details on her legs and feet that need to be seen as well!!
▲ Note the ankle bone on her foot captured with both sculpt and shadows.
Plus, although it is a little hard to see in the photo, if you look close you can see the tension in her Achilles tendon from using high heels!!
Be sure to take a closer look at all the details once she joins your collection! ♪
Add the impressive British-born ship to your collection!
