Nendoroid Batman: Justice Edition

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this product currently up for preorder!

Nendoroid Batman: Justice Edition!

From the popular movie ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ comes a Nendoroid of Batman dressed up in his armor. The Nendoroid is a part of the fully articulated ‘Edition’ series of Nendoroids which allows for all sorts of action poses from the movie! His characteristic armor has been shrunk down into Nendoroid size keeping the epic appearance while also adding that cute Nendoroid charm!The paintwork has also been very intricately tuned to give the armor a heavy and metallic appearance. His batarang is also included in an all new sculpt for the Justice Edition, as well as a new Bat Signal based on the Batman v Superman design.

The Battle of the Century!

From ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ comes a Nendoroid of the Dark Knight and Vigilante of Gotham – Batman! While the previously released Nendoroid Batman: Hero’s Edition which had more of a glossy appearance, this version of Batman has a more metallic appearance that has been preserved in the Nendoroid nicely!

△ You can make for epic poses just by adjusting the way the light reflects! ☆

As with the last Batman Nendoroid, this one is a fully articulated figure with joints in areas like the knees and elbows which allows for various action poses! ε=(｡・д・｡)

△You can also twist the body itself quite freely!

Plus if you take a closer look at the body itself you can see the details of the sculpt on his suit and belt – even the armor on his wrists and legs has a nice sharp, heavy appearance that really sets up the atmosphere nicely! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

The parts of his armor closest to his body have a matte finish that contrasts against the metallic look of the other parts very nicely!

The Nendoroid also includes his batarangs, but this time they have a much sharper appearance to better match the designs from the new movie!! (/ω＼)

The entire sculpt and color have both been completely changed!

This Batman has been specially tuned to match his setting from ‘Batman v Superman’! Let’s take a closer look at his cape! ★

The cape is separated into two sides and fitted with a ball joint!

This allows you to move the cape around to match all sorts of different movements and easily match the cape with your pose!

Plus you can also get a rather rare look at the reverse side of Batman’s outfit – it is nice and detailed as well, so be sure to take a closer look once he joins your collection!

Standing atop a building with the wind blowing his cape…

△ Also note the little tears at the end of his cape! Lovely details!

A Bat Signal based on the new design is also included! ♪

△ The bat silhouette is slightly larger compared to last time!

It also comes with parts to display it shining out into the night sky to bring out that Batman atmosphere even more! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

△ This is still the prototype so it looks a bit like a sticker here,
but the actual product will have the bat printed directly on the light!

Fine tune the lighting to recreate some awesome arrival scenes, or make use of the flexible joints to recreate original action scenes! The possibilities are endless!!

Nendoroid Kogane Asabuki + Migite-chan Set

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Ever since it started getting hot last week my intake of barley tea has increased substantially! Whenever it starts to get hot I always consider it the perfect drink to cool down! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Kogane Asabuki + Migite-chan Set!

From the anime series ‘BBK/BRNK’ comes a Nendoroid of Kogane Asabuki together with Oubu’s right arm, ‘Raijoudou’ – also known as Migite-chan! She comes with three expressions including a smiling face, a worried face as well as a frenzied expression to capture the other side of her personality.The included Migite-chan is also partially articulated allowing you to recreate a variety of different situations from relaxed scenes to tense battle scenes! Enjoy both the lively Kogane as well as the unforgettable Migite-chan together with this set!

“I will fight! Together with Migite-chan!”

From the anime series ‘BBK/BRNK’ comes a Nendoroid of the innocent Kogane Asabuki as well as Oubu’s right arm that she inherited from her father – ‘Raijoudou’, also known as Migite-chan! ♥︎

The flowers that make up her hair accessory have all been so intricately sculpted! Kogane herself has a very light coloring to her that makes her look so sweet, while Migite-chan has all its vivid patterns faithfully included on the Nendoroid design!

Another part that really stands out is her hair sculpt! It has so much volume when you take a look from the back or sides!! (・∀・)

△ Her cute backpack is also included even with the adorable cat print!

Anyway, Kogane-chan comes with three alternate expressions to switch between, so let’s take a look at each of them! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

First up we have her smiling face!

Such a gentle expression that captures the kind side of Kogane so nicely! ♪

Next up we have this one…!

A worried expression! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Those worried eyebrows and the upside-down V-shaped mouth give Kogane such an pure and innocent appearance!! You can have her hold hands with Migite-chan and pose her walking home in a bit of an upset mood…

Although she also has a bit of a determined look to her!!

I’m sure fans of the series will be able to come up with all sorts of fun original situations with the Nendoroid!! ♪

Anyway, before we move onto the third expression I first want to take a closer look at Migite-chan!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

＼Ta-da!!／

All of Migite-chan’s fingers are fitted with various different joints for all sorts of different poses! The thumb is even fitted with a Nendoroid joint!! ★

△The index finger and pinky finger are fitted with a simple joint,
while the ring finger and middle finger have ball joints!

The overall form of Migite-chan is so cute that it looks cute almost no matter how you place him! Its so flexible that he can even be posed to help you at school or at work! Here we have Migite-chan holding a pencil ready for use!! ♪

△ You could probably get it holding other items as well… as long as they balance! ♪

Anyway, moving onto her final expression… an expression to capture the other side of her personality…

A Frenzied Expression!

“I’ll gouge out everything!! Your eyes, your nose, your throat, and your guts… I’ll gouge them out with this very hand!!”

A fierce attack with Migite-chan attached to her right hand!

The pose has such a powerful presence to it! She comes with a special attachment part that allows you to attach Migite-chan with ease! ♪

△ You can’t see her expression…
it’s hard to imagine that cute smile can become so fierce!

If you put her in her worried expression pose with this frenzied expression…

Eeep! (˚ ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )
There is still something cute about it, but taking a good close look at this expression shows just how fierce she looks!! You can really jump from all the extremes of her personality with this Nendoroid! ☆

I look forward to seeing some of the original scenes fans will make with the cute Kogane-chan and the flexible Migite-chan! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Add the world of BBK/BRNK to your collection!

Nendoroid Kogane Asabuki + Migite-chan Set!

They will be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Plus orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Closed Eye Part for Migite-chan!!

Be sure to consider it when preordering! (*´｀*)

Nendoroid Ainz Ooal Gown

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The temperature has warmed up quite a lot now! We’re definitely in the season for ice cream now! Whenever I’m in at the shops I always take a look at the ice cream section to see if there are any new releases!

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

Nendoroid Ainz Ooal Gown!

From the popular dark fantasy series ‘OVERLORD’ comes a Nendoroid of Ainz, the leader of the Ainz Ooal Gown guild and ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. His air of supremacy as the ‘Ruler of Death’ has been faithfully preserved with an impressive and dignified appearance – even when shrunk down to Nendoroid size!His face features movable parts and he comes with various different arm parts that can be used to recreate various different scenes from the series! Nendoroid Albedo is also planned to be released, so be sure to display the two of them together!

“I am the Supreme Ainz Ooal Gown!”

From ‘OVERLORD’ comes a Nendoroid of the skeletal overlord and strongest magic caster – Ainz!! ★

His dark red eyes seem to almost be glowing with the black around them, and his skeletal body looks amazing together with the mantle he wears over it!

Even as a Nendoroid he looks so intimidating!! (/ω＼)

The golden accessories contrast against his dark outfit so nicely!! Let’s see how he looks from the back!

The flow and creases of the fabric on his hood and cape are so beautifully sculpted! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Even though he is nothing but a skeleton underneath the cape, I can’t help but think he is nice and warm under that cape!!

Unlike most Nendoroids he doesn’t come with alternate expression parts, but he does instead come with alternate eye plates that can be replaced for a slightly different look!

△ A rather different layout compared to most Nendoroid parts!

Plus as you can see from above, his mouth can also open and close!! ★

The alternate eye parts fit into place between the upper and lower jaw! This is how he looks when you replace the glowing red eyes with the pure black eyes!

With the red in his eyes gone he looks a little calmer, and he even comes with a background sheet that represents the thing that calms him down when he gets too excited! This allows for various fun scenes from the series as well as from the ‘Pure Pure Pleiades’ spinoff!

But where are his arms? Lake a look!

This Part…

Covers his arm like this…

To end up like this!

In other words you can display him with his arms completely covered up by the cape!

The arm parts are also fitted with ball joints allowing you to move them around in any direction for various different nuances! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Plus, even the bone parts above his eyes are movable parts, allowing for more comical poses from this intimidating eyes!

△ Open just one eye up wide for this rather cute pose! (●´ω｀●)

Changing the amount of his eyes that are shown can really change the overall feeling of the expression, giving Ainz quite an impressive range of expressions!

Although he doesn’t need it to stand, the final version of the Nendoroid is planned to be released with a Nendoroid stand to help him stand out!

△ Displayed with a Nendoroid Petite for size comparison!

He also comes with special arm parts to display him holding his head in his hands in worry! <(´□｀｡<)

△ The troubles of a supreme overlord…!

The size of the body and expressions are a little different to most Nendoroids…

But the enjoyment factor is the same as always!! ♡

Add the palm-sized supreme overlord to your collection!

Nendoroid Ainz Ooal Gown!

He’ll be up for preorder from Thursday!! ★

Plus, this Nendoroid is also currently in development!

Nendoroid Albedo!

More news coming soon! (⌯¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧

Nendoroid Co-de Hatsune Miku: Sweet Pumpkin Co-de

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I prefer my pumpkin on the sweet side! To the point that it could rather be a dessert!! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a figure that made her painted debut on last week’s live broadcast…

Nendoroid Co-de Hatsune Miku: Sweet Pumpkin Co-de!

From the SEGA feat. HATSUNE MIKU Project’s ‘Hatsune Miku Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone’ comes a Nendoroid Co-de of the popular ‘Sweet Pumpkin’ module!The Sweet Pumpkin module was based on the illustration by ICA used for the ‘Miku LOVES Famima Campaign 4th Happy Halloween TRICK or MIKU?’. The colorful outfit has been faithfully recreated from the various little accessory designs to the ribbons on her dress and long twintails! Be sure to add the cute outfit to your collection!

“Time for some tricks and treats!”

A Halloween-themed Miku-san is joining the Nendoroid Co-de series!☆

The Sweet Pumpkin module was based on the illustration by ICA used for the ‘Miku LOVES Famima Campaign 4th Happy Halloween TRICK or MIKU?’!

Her rather light hair looks like some sugary candy and all the ribbons, stars and other accessories make for such a lovely cute and colorful outfit! The puffy pumpkin-shaped skirt and sleeves as well as the bat-shaped hair accessories help bring across the Halloween spirit too! (●´ω｀●)

The outfit with its pumpkin-shaped balloon skirt has a nice original feel to it, and Miku herself also has a very unique feeling to her! The way her hair is tied up down at the very bottom is a rather characteristic design! ♡

Note how the orange of the skirt is glossy while the white above it is matte!

Even the textures brings out that extraordinary feeling about the outfit! (/ω＼)

The twintails are also fitted with ball joints allowing for slight changes in nuances while posing! ♪

△ Changing the angle of her neck and hair creates a rather different impression!

Anyway, let’s stop here for a second for…

A Quick Nendoroid Co-de Recap!

Nendoroid Co-de is a new addition to the Nendoroid series based on the theme of dressing-up characters! The figures have fixed poses and each come with four parts – the head, upper garment, lower garment and shoes. Each of these parts can be swapped between characters allowing for all sorts of possibilities. The more you collect, the more dress-up options become available to you!

In other words…! They are simple fixed pose Nendoroids, great for new collectors, with the ability to dress-up in various ways!

They are designed to be fun for Nendoroid collectors to collect, and for younger fans to enjoy playing with and creating all sorts of new dress coordination! You can see all the figures released so far over on the..

Obviously the Nendoroid Co-de Hatsune Miku: Sweet Pumpkin Co-de is also compatible to switch out between all the previously released Nendoroid Co-de Series, which means that you can mix and match with various other characters for all sorts of possibilities! ♥︎

For example…

Head: Shion Todo – Baby Monster Cyalume Co-de

Nendoroid Shigure Kai Ni

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Tonight was Snow Miku Live Broadcast! There hasn’t been a broadcast for awhile, so I was a little nervous…!

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

Nendoroid Shigure Kai Ni!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the 2nd Shiratsuyu Class Destroyer, Shigure Kai Ni! She comes with three expressions including her standard smiling expression, a determined expression great for combat scenes as well as a rather worried looking expression based on her half-damaged illustration.

The large ship parts on her back can be separated and equipped as cannons for her to hold, and the smaller single and double-barreled turrets on the sides can also be removed from the main ship parts and equipped separately, allowing for all sorts of different weapon setups! All of her turrets as well as the torpedo launchers also come with firing effect parts to really show off the full fire power of a destroyer – even in Nendoroid size!

She also comes with various optional parts to recreate both her ‘Valentine’ and ‘Summer’ seasonal outfits from the game! Enjoy the destroyer both ready for combat and in more everyday scenes!

“I am the 2nd Shiratsuyu Class Destroyer, Shigure!”

Shigure is joining the Nendoroids in her ‘Kai Ni’ upgraded form! Her cute hair that sticks out at the sides almost like animal ears as well as the single braid that lays over her shoulder both look so cute in Nendoroid size! Accessories like her hair accessory and neck tie also have lovely detail, and the outfit with slightly puffy sleeves as well as those ship parts all look so good!! (´□｀｡)

The mechanical, heavy feeling ship parts on her back have also been sculpted so nicely! Just imagine how strong she must be to carry this on her back all the time!

△ I also like the loose appearance of the fabric at the bottom of the barrels!

Not to mention the gentle smile on her face that brings out the personality of that kind and loving Shigure Kai Ni who is always looking out for others!

△ The smile on the Kai Ni version gives her a slightly more mature look!

However! You can also enjoy a more serious version of her with this determined expression! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

But it’s not just her expression that has changed! You’ll notice that the double barrel turret that was on her ship parts has now been equipped onto her left hand! (●´ω｀●)

Plus, the ship parts on her back…

…are fitted with a Nendoroid joint for all sorts of original poses!

But that’s still not all! The ship parts on her back can also be separated down the middle…

“Enemy Sighted!”

And equipped to both her hands!!

This is very similar to the transformation that you could do with the previously released 1/8th scale Shigure Kai Ni, so those who own that figure might find it quite familiar! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

△ The previously released 1/8th Scale Shigure Kai Ni!

The turret parts that connect into the back of the Nendoroid stand not only have a ball joint, but each of the two arm parts also has a joint to allow for various different angles and nuances while posing!

You can move the turrets in so many different ways that the possibilities really are endless!! I can’t wait to see some of the photos that this Nendoroid will inspire!! ★

To make the combat poses even more epic, she also comes with shooting effect parts for all her turrets as well as the torpedo launchers on her legs!! You can connect all these parts at once to create a powerful pose that shows off the fire power of a destroyer! ( っ•̀ω•́)っ

△ The impression is so very different compared to her smiling face above!

However… there is still much more to come! ☆

This time around the Nendoroid includes parts to recreate two of the seasonal outfits from the game!! (/ω＼)

– 1 –

A bowl filled with chocolate, a spatula and an apron?!

The first seasonal outfit is the outfit that was available for the Valentine’s event!! ♥︎

She’s so cute!!! (*´Д｀)=з

The pale pink apron together with her mixing up chocolate… the perfect example of a young maiden trying her best for Valentine’s day!! It’s so cute it almost hurts!!

The apron part is planned to be included like this, with the neck area also a part of the apron! When you want to transform her into Valentine mode you will need to first remove her standard neck tie parts and then put this on in place! (・∀・)

– 2 –

…a pink tube?!

The second seasonal outfit to be included is her special Summer outfit!! ♪

A whole different kind of cute!!!

An entirely separate Summer body is included to switch her out to this mode! The swimsuit itself isn’t damaged or anything, but the slightly worried look from the included half-damage expression suits is so nicely! ♥︎

The slightly opened up mouth is just so adorable!!

△ The white coat slipping off her shoulders gives a nice relaxed look! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

By the way… if you combine the half-damaged expression with the Valentine body…

… (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾

It’s as if she is simulating passing over the valentine’s chocolate to her Admiral… covering up her embarrassment a little with the spatula!!! This figure really allows you to bring out Shigure’s charm in all sorts of amazing ways!!

Last but not least, she also comes with a ‘Night Battle Background Sheet‘ with some drizzling rain to match with her name ‘Shigure’ which means ‘seasonal rain’ in Japanese! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

△ The sheet connects to the base with a special attachment.

Destroyers are strong in night battles!

Which means the all-out pose with all the effect parts really fits with the night battle background sheet to fully bring out Shigure’s battle charm! (´□｀｡)

From smiles, to embarrassment, to combat! Be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy all sorts of scenes! ♥︎

Nendoroid Shigure Kai Ni!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 24th May 2016 JST!

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include the usual bonus of a Special Shigure Kai Ni Box Sleeve and a Special Nendoroid Base! ★

* Shigure Kai Ni’s Special Base will be a slightly larger (80mm x 80mm) base.
* The sleeve design will be announced at a later date.

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Mira Yurizaki

Today’s Main Feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this 1/8th scale figure going up for preorder tomorrow…

Mira Yurizaki!

From the popular anime series ‘Dimension W’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the robot heroine of the series, Mira Yurizaki! She has been sculpted in original pose for the figure, with a bit of a cat-like pose as if she has climbed up to some elevated area.She has been sculpted wearing the memorable outfit she was wearing when she first appeared in the series which features a combination of tight and loose fitting clothes in various different colors. The textures of the various parts of the outfit have also been differentiated making the figure a pleasure to look at no matter which angle you choose to enjoy her from!

“In the year 2072, mankind discovered ‘coils’ to draw out an inexhaustible supply of energy from Dimension W.”

A lovely 1/8th scale figure of Mira Yurizaki from the progressive Sci-Fi anime series written by Yuuji Iwahara, Dimension W! ♡

She is posed as if she has climbed up on some elevated platform, and half-way up she decided to turn around and look our way! A nice figure that captures Mira in a simple yet dynamic pose that really captures the feeling of movement as she twists around!

Mira is actually an robot that moves with the energy from Dimension W, but those lovely curves and body make me think she is just another cute human!

The open shoulders, twisted hips and the soft, touchable bottom that all come together to create a spectacular body line…

It’s such a wonderful sight!!

Her lower body really captures that soft skin feeling so nicely with the way the clothes snap onto the skin…. and just look at the underside of her elbow!! Every part of the figure has been so beautifully sculpted that its hard for me to decide on where to focus!! You really need to take a nice long look for yourself!

Mira is often referred to as too cute for her own good, but there is something about this figure’s expression that also gives her a bit more of a mature appearance! (/ω＼)

While she still keeps that innocent cuteness, the look in her eyes and smile on her face seem to say ‘It’s alright. Just leave it to me”. I think I kind of understand Kyoma’s feeling of trust toward his partner Mira when I look at this expression! っ(*´Д｀)=з

Anyway, I’ve been focusing on her human appearance so much, that you might have forgotten that this is actually an robot! Let’s take a look at some of the parts that show that side of her…

Such as this rather interesting tail part!

Such a sharp, metallic appearance…!

Mira has so many human-like features and emotions, but seeing these parts is a very good reminder of her robotic side! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

The glossy paintwork used on the head parts also provide a more robotic appearance to her overall design!

The cable of the tail part actually makes use of that kind of braided wire, giving a nice realistic texture to enjoy as well! ★

Another thing about the outfit to note is how the creases in her outfit have been sculpted to match with the way her body is twisted! You can see it pulling tight at some areas and rather loose at others!

△ It’s the kind of sculpt that caters to all sorts of different fetishes!

Personally I love the layers of her clothing and the box pleat skirt! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

But the gaps of skin around her shoulders and neck area are also lovely! It’s one of those figures that looks great from pretty much any angle you choose which really is one of the best things about figures!! You can enjoy your favorite character from the angle you choose – and notice all sorts of things about them!

For example Mira’s unique hairstyle!

She kind of has a layer of longer hair placed on top of shorter hair! You never really get to see the back of her hair from this angle in the series! This is the power of the figure world!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

This angle also shows off the nape of her neck, her round shoulders and lovely slim arms that all connect to form such lovely curves! You can even see her soft looking thighs as they emerge from the frilly skirt!

Be sure to add the robot powered by Dimension W energy to your collection!♡

The 1/8th scale…

Mira Yurizaki!

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Plus speaking of Dimension W – these rubber straps are on sale from June!

Nendoroid Aqua

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The rain has come and the pollen levels are apparently much lower… but for some reason I’m still sneezing! Maybe this sneezing isn’t the hay fever I thought it was…

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

Nendoroid Aqua!

From the anime series ‘Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Syukufuku wo!’ comes a Nendoroid of the beautiful goddess that can also be a rather ditzy, Aqua! She comes with three expressions including a smiling face, a contemptuous expression and a crying expression to show that she can be quite the cry baby. Optional parts include her staff as well as parts to recreate her party trick.Enjoy posing Aqua in all sorts of poses – from showing off her party trick to desperately trying to run away from monsters!

The beautiful goddess has descended!

From the anime series that has already had its second season announced, ‘Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Syukufuku wo!’ comes a Nendoroid of the goddess that Kazuma brought with him to another world – the adorable Aqua! ♡

Her lovely light blue hair, cute uniform and those eyes filled with curiosity have all been converted into Nendoroid size!!

She also comes with her staff with the cute pink bud on the top! Posed with her big smile together with the staff in hand really captures her naive appearance!♪

Her hem of her skirt in the series is known for its see-through look, which has been faithfully reproduced on the Nendoroid with translucent parts! ☆

（。´-`）.｡oO（”But… what is the Nendoroid version wearing beneath that…?“)

You’ll have to wait until she joins your collection to confirm that!

Her unique hairstyle and accessory look lovely in Nendoroid size!♪

△ I love the cute little curl where the hair is tied up! ♡

As an Arch Priest with all skills maxed out and the ability to fight in close combat with her staff, Aqua is definitely a worthwhile ally… but there are certain things about her that can make her more of a liability…

We have included expression parts to bring out those sides too! Such as…

A contemptuous expression!

She is giggling so hard there are tears in her eyes!

This expression can also be found on her character page on the official website, but there is something about the chibi Nendoroid design that makes it so much more effective!! I want to hate it, but it’s too cute!! (´□｀｡)

But she also comes with another expression…

A Crying Expression!

She might act tough, but when hit by any attack she quickly has a rather childish reaction! This expression and pose capture it perfectly! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

You can also instead hold her prisoner!

△ I can just image her crying voice in my head! ★

Plus! She also comes with parts to recreate her ‘Party Trick’ skills that never help much in battle! She comes with special fan parts that allow you to recreate this scene!

Her Water Party Trick!✧

The little fountain parts at the ends of the fans make use of translucent parts to recreate the water-like appearance!

△ A trick worthy of one who can purify any water into Holy Water! ♪

Enjoy all sorts of sides of Aqua’s personality! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Add the cute ‘Useless Goddess’ to your collection!
Nendoroid Aqua!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 19th May 2016! ♡

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Special Round Base as a bonus!

Be sure to consider it when preordering! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Mio Honda: Crystal Night Party Ver.

Today’s Main Feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Mio Honda: Crystal Night Party Ver.!

From the popular anime ‘THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the New Generations member Mio Honda in a ‘Crystal Night Party’ version! Mio is posed wearing the ‘Crystal Night Party’ outfit she is seen wearing in both the opening theme of the anime’s second season as well as in the last episode of the series.

It is an outfit that shouts out what it means to be an idol with it’s shining and colorful design – a design which has been intricately sculpted and painted for fans to enjoy in their collection. Uzuki Shimamura: Crystal Night Party Ver. has already been announced, and a figure of Rin Shibuya in her ‘Crystal Night Party’ outfit is also on the way – so be sure to display the three together!

The second in the ‘Crystal Night Party’ series – Mio Honda!

The naturally cheerful leader of the New Generation’s unit is joining the ‘Crystal Night Party’ series of scale figures! ★

The figure is sculpted by Tomogomahu!

The energetic pose and healthy looking body captures Chanmio so nicely, and the realistic flow and appearance of the outfit has been sculpted in such lovely detail! The pose with the twist in her hips works nicely with the frilly design of the outfit! The long cape-like frills that come off her dress also look so amazing as a figure! ♡

The way she is gripping the skirt causing a few extra creases as well as the creases along her back caused by her twisted hips… you really get a feeling for the weight of the outfit! The way the shoulder accessories are moving around, as well as the sculpt of her hair and the frills on her outfit…

They all give the figure a lovely dynamic feeling! ♪

While the pose is quite simple, it’s such a treat for the eyes for all sorts of different reasons! The smallest little details just make you want to look closer and closer… the sculptwork really is fantastic!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Chanmio is also rather well known for her rather impressive body and curves, and the figure really does them justice!

Not only is the characteristic idol outfit sculpted beautifully with each crease and wrinkle carefully thought out, but it also really makes her body-line stand out showing just how soft and toned her skin is! っ(/ω＼)

Take a nice close look at the area just above her bellybutton, or the area between her upper arm and the brooch on her chest! They all look so realistic… you can’t help but want to try and run your finger along the various uneven bumps of her outfit and smooth skin… but you’ll have to wait until she joins your collection to do that!

Let’s take a look a little bit lower!

The way her high socks are sculpted pushing into her skin together with the shadow paintwork around the knees really brings out that ‘feeling’ of skin! I tried to take this photo as close as I could without showing too much! You can see the lovely rounded form that continues beneath the skirt! ☆

Once again I just have to point out the creases in her outfit, but also note the pearl paintwork that gives a nice shiny appearance to the figure to give her that glittering appearance of an idol! (●´ω｀●)

△ Look at the wrist area on her glove here!

Plus… the friendly, inspiring smile that Chanmio always has to cheer on the New Generations team has also been captured beautifully! ♪

The paintwork as well as expression were both done by the same artist that worked on the previously announced Shimamura Uzuki – Ekoshi! ♥︎

Be sure to enjoy both the incredible sculpt work of the outfit and accessories together with the heart-warming smile once she joins your collection!! ♪

Mio Honda: Crystal Night Party Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ★

Just like Uzuki Shimamura: Crystal Night Party Ver., preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include this Special Staircase Stage Base as a bonus! ♪

△The thickness of the stairs differs to create slightly different shades of pink! ♪

* The same bonus is also planned to be included with Rin Shibuya: Crystal Party Ver.

Be sure to consider it when preordering! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver.

Hello and to those who don’t know me it’s nice to meet you! There might be some of you that remember me back when I took over the blog for a day quite some time ago…

My name is Chan-shuu (@gscs_hirase), a member of Good Smile Company’s planning team! You may have read the introduction blog that Kahotan wrote for me the other day! I will be writing an article for the blog on weekends around two times a month!

With that said, the first item I will be taking a look at is…

Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver.!

We wish to express our condolences to those who have been affected by the earthquakes that struck Kumamoto prefecture in April 2016. We want to work with our fans to bring back the cheer to Japan by bringing back the ‘Cheerful JAPAN!’ charity project, to help raise funds to aid relief efforts in the Kyushu region.
This product is released as a joint charity project with Nitroplus and DMM.com.Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver. comes with a banner and folding fan as optional parts, as well as a lovely smiling expression to spread the cheer! The Nendoroid will also include badges of Nendoroid Doudanuki Masakuni, Nendoroid Hotarumaru, Nendoroid Heshikiri Hasebe and Nendoroid Petite Kasen Kanesada.
(*Please note that only one expression is included with this product.)For each figure sold Good Smile Company, Nitroplus and DMM.com will donate ¥1000 to aid the relief efforts in Japan.

The previously released Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika is being released in a special version as a part of the Cheerful JAPAN! project!

▲ Here is what is included with the product!

The main body for Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika is kept the same, but he comes with a selection of special parts including a new smiling expression, a ‘Cheerful Japan’ banner as well as folding fan parts!

These are of course all included under the theme of ‘cheering’ to cheer on those who were affected by the recent earthquakes around Kumamoto.

Waving his folding fans with a huge smile!

That bright smile on his face and the large folding fans show he is ready to spread the cheer! Not only do I feel happy looking at him, but he also somehow makes me feel so relaxed… （*＾ω＾*）

▲ The Good Smile mark can be found on both folding fans!

Both fans are also printed on both sides, so no matter what angle you look from you can feel the cheer! ╭( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

The second ‘Cheerful’ item item is this banner with ‘CheerfulJapan!’ written in Japanese on it. The special thing about this banner is the thickness of the pole! It is made the same size as the Touken Ranbu Nendoroid’s swords, and seen all of the Nendoroids can hold their swords…

That means that they can also all hold the banner!

Here we have Nendoroid Ichigo Hitohuri holding the banner! He just shipped out to fans last week!! The smiling expression fits with the cheerful theme rather nicely! (*´∀`*)

Even Heshikiri Hasebe who is currently up for preorder…

Can confidently show his support!!

Plus, each purchase of the Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver. will also come with all of these badges!

Special badges of Nendoroid Doudanuki Masakuni, Nendoroid Hotarumaru, Nendoroid Heshikiri Hasebe and Nendoroid Petite Kasen Kanesada!

I’m sure there are some fans that may have noticed the connection here, but all of these characters are characters that have some kind of connection with Kyushu – the area that was most badly affected by the earthquake.

Display them together with your Nendoroids or carry them around on your bag to show your support!

Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver. is currently up for preorder!!

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

– How to Purchase –

■ Order Period: 2016/4/25 from 19:00 ~ 2016/5/25 at 21:00 (JST)

*Please see the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP website for shipping details.

■ Price: ¥3,889 (Before Tax)
■ Release Date: August 2016
■ Donation: For each figure sold Good Smile Company, Nitroplus and DMM.com will donate ¥1000 to aid the relief efforts in Japan.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Last but not least, I want to expression my condolences to all those who have been affected by the Kumamoto earthquakes. We came up with the Cheerful Japan project as it was a way for us as a company to support those who need it while still doing what we love, as well as giving fans a product that they can purchase and be proud to own knowing that the money spent will be going to a good cause. I hope this Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver. will bring some cheer to those who need it in some way or another!

Anyway, that’s all from me for now! I’m sure we will meet somewhere again sometime! (・ω・)ノ

Nendoroid Taiho

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)\

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the latest of the KanColle Nendoroids!

Nendoroid Taiho!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the First Taiho Class Aircraft Carrier – Taiho! She comes with three expressions including an easy-to-use standard expression, a half-damaged expression as well as an attacking expression for combat scenes.Optional parts include a cartridge that can be held as well as set in both her crossbow and ship deck. She also includes three different state-of-the-art planes to fly by her side including the Ryusei, Reppu and Suisei planes for various different scenes. Special parts are also included which allow you to recreate her half-damaged pose! Simply select the situation you like best!

“Everyone ready? It’s time to get going!
First Mobile Force, heading out!”

The state-of-the-art aircraft carrier that even features an armored flight deck – Taiho is joining the Nendoroids!!

Her short-cut brown hair with slightly longer sides, those calm and confident eyes and the combination of a mini-skirt and short leggings bring all of Taiho’s charms alive in Nendoroid size!! I also love her outfit with the little openings you can see beneath her arms, as well as all the details around the neck and hip areas! Not to mention her awesome ship parts! (・∀・)

Various areas of the ship parts are also connected with Nendoroid joints allowing them to move left and right for all sorts of different posing options! ♪

△ This area wasn’t ever even visible in the original illustration!

As with most Nendoroids, she comes with a selection of different hand parts, and these even allow you to pose her aiming her crossbow! (●´ω｀●)

△ Shimada Humikane’s design has been faithfully preserved in this expression!

By the way! Nendoroid Taiho comes with a total of three cartridges that can be set in the crossbow, ship deck parts and can even be held! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ!!

△ They read ‘War’ ‘Attack’ and ‘Explosive’! ♪

These little playful options that are often included with the KanColle Nendoroids make them really fun to play with as well as put on display!♡

Anyway, let’s move on to her alternate expressions parts!

First up is her…

Attacking Expression!

This confident expression makes me think of her line in the game, “Come now my brilliant children, show them what you can really do!” ♪

That said, her ‘children’ planes are also included as optional parts to fly by her side! This time around the included planes are Ryusei, Reppu and Suisei!

△ The different designs are faithfully portrayed on the tiny little planes!

She can also be posed in more dynamic action scenes for battle with the included bent leg parts! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Taking a closer look at the armor on her stomach area, the details have been very intricately sculpted onto her design!! You can also get a little look at the short leggings under her skirt! (/ω＼)

Anyway, onto her third expression…

A half-damaged expression!!

Oooooooooooohhh!! (/ω＼)

Along with the expression, she also comes with various parts to help recreate her half-damaged pose! ♪

– Lower Body Parts –

△ The little rips look so cute in Nendoroid form!

– Ship Deck Parts –

△ The end tip of the ship deck swaps out to a damaged version!

– Ship Parts –

△ The bottom of the hull can be swapped out completely to a damaged part!

Plus, the half-damage expression can kind of be used as an embarrassed expression as well!!

△ Trying to hide her embarrassment with a cartridge! ♡

I’m sure all the Admirals out there will come up with all sorts of fun and interesting poses once she joins your collection! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Enjoy everything from her normal self to combat scenes to a more embarrassed side!

Nendoroid Taiho!

She’ll be up for preorder tomorrow!

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will as usual include a special Nendoroid Box Sleeve and Special Nendoroid Base! ★
