Nadeko Sengoku: Medusa Ver.

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

Nadeko Sengoku: Medusa Ver.!♥︎

From the anime ‘Bakemonogatari Series Second Season’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Nadeko Sengoku in her medusa version. The figure is based on the cover illustration of the ‘Otorimonogatari Volume 2 / Nadeko Medusa (Part 2)’ Blu-ray & DVD.

The pose shows Nadeko as the Snake Goddess oddity with a cute smile together with a hint of madness on her face. Her white hair made up of snakes has been carefully sculpted to preserve the subtle movements, creating a dynamic scene with mysterious charm. The donation box, bottles of sake and money are all included as a part of the figure to bring out the original illustration as faithfully as possible for fans to enjoy!

“Welcome. Let me show you some love, Koyomi-oniichan.”

The polite and quiet Nanahyakuichi Public Middle School student has been transformed into a figure in her Snake Goddess Oddity form – recreating the rather memorable Blu-ray cover illustration!!

Her thin one-piece dress has been beautifully sculpted and even has the loose strap on her shoulder! The sitting pose also creates various creases along the fabric which are all faithfully sculpted onto the figure – even from the back!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

△ You can really make out the curves of her body!

The hair that has transformed into snakes has also been intricately sculpted down to the tips! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Both the dress and the hair are blowing sideways in the wind, but the snake hair has another element of movement to it as well… it’s like each and every one of the strands is moving around on its own!! I swear the longer you look at the tips of the hair the more it looks like there are actually snake faces on them!! ((＞д＜))

Although the one-piece dress has a rather childish design, the shoulder strap slipping off her shoulder and the fact that she has her knees held up so high give her a little bit of a mature charm as well! ☆

The middle of the dress that is tied up tight has the area filled with various creases and a darker shade that brings out the feeling of the fabric really effectively! ( ✧Д✧)!!

This is also GSC’s 10th figure from the Monogatari series of scale figures!! ♥︎
Here are all the figures released so far…

Its quite rare for a single series to see so many scale figures from GSC!! This must be one of the longest on going series!

But anyway, let’s get back to Nadeko! Just look at that cheerful smile on her face as the white snake hair slithers about…

It’s a cheerful smile… but… but there is definitely something amiss about it!!

There are all sorts of hidden desires coiling about inside of that smile!! (/ω＼)

The package illustration had a kind of mysterious glow to the hair to give it an even more ‘non-human’ appearance, and this has been kept to a certain degree on the figure through the use of pearl paint on the hair! (●´ω｀●)

If you get the light right it looks like her hair is shining mysteriously, adding that same element the illustration had nicely!

Also note the details on the base she sits upon! The donation box has various wooden patterns making it look heavy, yet with that nice wooden beauty. The bottles of sake on the side are also all carefully made down to the details on the labels!! (・∀・)

△ The gradient paint of the wood is very pleasing to look at!

You can even see the details of the structure inside the donation box!!

Such lovely attention to detail…!

We’ll be taking a look at her during the live broadcast tonight! Be sure to tune in if you can!! The head planner for the figure, Otanaka-shi will be joining us!! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Keep the smiling Snake Goddess Oddity by your side!

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!

Nendoroid Hacka Doll #1

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m a big fan of Japanese mint oil! Whenever I’m feeling hot and bothered or really sleepy, a few drops always makes me advance a little further!

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

Nendoroid Hacka Doll #1!★

From the anime series ‘Hacka Doll the Animation’ based on the popular news app of the same name comes a Nendoroid of the cheerful, friendly and sometimes rather silly Hacka Doll #1!She comes with three expressions including a cheerful smile, an aroused expression as well as a crying expression. Optional parts include the tablet and secret sketchbook from episode one! Add the adorable Hacka Doll #1 to your collection and get ready to advance ahead of humanity!

“You will also be advanced!”

The anime series that came from a news application!! From the series that is currently airing, ‘Hacka Doll the Animation’ comes a Nendoroid of the main character, Nendoroid Hacka Doll #1! ♡

Her cheerful smiling expression together with the peace sign hands have both been converted into Nendoroid form perfectly!

The details on her futuristic outfit is also not to be missed!

The little details on her chest area and those heels! ♪

By the way, for those that are unaware, before this was an anime the ‘Hacka Doll’ application was a ‘personal entertainment otaku AI’ news app that would synchronize with your needs!! ★

The more you use the app, the more it learns about you in order to give you the best news catered to you – three times a day! You can find out more here: https://hackadoll.com/?p=app%E3%80%80

But lets get back to the Nendoroid and her optional parts! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

First up we have a tablet! ☆

This showed the recommended products in episode one! You may also notice that the ending card from wooser’s hand-to-mouth life displayed on the screen!! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！Anyway, let’s move onto her next expression…

Her aroused expression!

She is trying so hard to hide the blush, but you can see the feelings welling up inside her with that wobbly mouth!

The position of her eyebrows and the stark open eyes just complete the pose even more!!

The reason for the expression is of course…

The secret sketchbook! (/ω＼)

Even the inside has been faithfully reproduced on the Nendoroid!! I really enjoyed the reactions of all three Hacka Dolls during this scene!!

Plus as you may or may not have noticed, she also comes with an alternate hair part to display her front hair sticking up straight for poses like this!! ( ✧Д✧) ｶｯ!!

Simply match the hair with your pose!

Buy anyway… Hacka Doll #1 is known to have all sorts of different expressions, and her third expression included with the Nendoroid is none other than…

A crying expression!! ( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )

Once again I absolutely love the shape of the mouth!! I want to enjoy this expression while enjoying some nice hot oden!! ☆

But wait! Hacka Doll is known to collaborate with other series!

Let’s see if we can recreate some of those collaborations in the Nendoroid world! ♪

PriPara!

Hacka Doll posed with Nendoroid Co-de Laala Manaka Twinkle Cyalume Co-de‘s body! ☆

Racing Miku

Displayed wearing Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2015 Ver. ‘s outfit! ★

It looks like she isn’t a very good driver though… ((＞д＜))

Wake Up, Girls!

Wearing the outfit from Nendoroid Mayu Shimada!☆

Somehow I feel really satisfied with this one! (●´ω｀●)

Miss Monochrome -The Animation-

Looking good dressed up as Nendoroid Miss Monochrome! ★

The monochrome outfit contrasts with her bright colors rather nicely! The ability to switch parts around between Nendoroids like this is so much fun!! ♪ Be sure to make your very own collaborations once she joins your collection! ♡

Enjoy the cheerful, cute, if somewhat silly Hacka Doll in your collection!

Nendoroid Hacka Doll #1

She’ll be up for preorder next week!! ☆

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Nendoroid Hacka Doll Badge Lv.5 as a bonus! Check out the product page next week for more details!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Nendoroid Fubuki: Animation Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I feel like some anmitsu! But let’s just keep the size at regular this time! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Fubuki: Animation Ver.☆

From the anime series ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the main character – the destroyer, Fubuki! She comes with three expressions including a standard expression, a serious expression for combat scenes as well as a fawning expression.The effect parts included with most of the KanColle Nendoroid series have been included with Fubuki as well, but have been slightly modified toward the appearance in the anime! The popular sortie scene unique to the anime can also be recreated using the included parts! Enjoy all sorts of different scenes with Fubuki!

“Nice to meet you Admiral! My name is Fubuki!”

The first ship special destroyers and one with a strong sense of justice to boot! Fubuki is joining the Nendoroids! This is the first Nendoroid from KanColle to be based on the anime instead of the game – but with that said the Nendoroid still tries to keep the expression faithful to Shibafu’s original illustration as well as bring out the feeling of the anime’s designs! (*´Д｀)=з

A lovely sailor outfit with her skirt gently fluttering on the edges!

The strap over her shoulder that connects to the turret is made from soft faux-leather meaning it won’t get in the way of any of your poses! (・ω・)/

You can take a look at all of the previous KanColle Nendoroids and various other products over on the KanColle listing page below! ♪

http://www.goodsmile.info/en/kancolle

You can also see older commercials as well as posters for some of the products!

But anyway, let’s get back to Fubuki! Her first expression is the lovely smile that we started the blog off with, but then we have her second expression…

“I’ll finish them off!”

A calm and collected combat expression!

The determination of the first ship in the special destroyer fleet really comes out in those eyes! They are ready for combat and filled with a desire for justice!!

The cannon she holds in her hand also comes with effect parts to recreate a more dynamic action scene!! ☆

Now let’s take a look at her from the back!

The ship parts on her back have been shrunk down, but still have amazing detail!!

The little bit of tied-up hair on the back can also be seen here! It is even fitted with a ball joint for adding slightly different nuances to your poses!

Plus another item perfect for battle scenes…

“Please hit!”

Torpedo effect parts with smoke and water splash effect parts to show the amazing sea battles! They are even specially adjusted to match the anime’s visuals! ★

It really feels like the figure should be jumping to life at any second!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ Brings out the KanColle atmosphere nicely! ♪

But then we move onto her third expression which is quite a jump from the serious combat expression!

A fawning expression! ♡

This expression… she could only be thinking of Akagi-senpai!

But it can also of course be used in all sorts of other situations as well! The only limit is your imagination! (●´ω｀●)

Plus she comes with another rather amazing part!!

Sortie Parts!! (´□｀｡)

Parts that definitely show that this Nendoroid is from the anime version! The name plate, chains and cogs from the scene are all faithfully included! I can just picture her heading out now!!!

This is how we interpreted the connection to the ship parts for the Nendoroid!!

△ The torpedoes on her thighs can move around like they did in the series too!

A special clear sheet to lay on the Nendoroid stand will also be included to recreate this part of the sortie scene as well!

△ Simply place on the stand for an even better rendition! ♡

In addition, if you preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will also receive a Special Anime Design Box Sleeve & Special Nendoroid Base! The special base will be specially tuned in color to match up with the clear sheet above!! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Enjoy recreating all sorts of scenes from the series and more!

Nendoroid Fubuki: Animation Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Be sure to check the Good Smile Company website for more information!

Nendoroid Ichigo Hitofuri

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Winter is definitely here now! It’s time for hot cocoa with marshmallows!! ♡

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

Nendoroid Ichigo Hitofuri!

From the popular browser game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a Nendoroid of Ichigo Hitofuri, the sword with many short swords as his younger brothers. He comes with three expression parts including his standard expression, a combat expression as well as a smiling expression to display him showing his gratitude.

His sword can be displayed both sheathed and drawn, and he comes with two different cape parts – one for his standard pose and another based on his combat appearance! Be sure to add Ichigo Hitofuri to your collection!

“As the dew, I fall. And as the dew, I vanish.”

The only long sword ever made by the renown sword smith Awataguchi Yoshimitsu: Ichigo Hitofuri is joining the Nendoroids! ♪

His gentle eyes and beautiful light blue hair as well as his refined, almost noble appearance have been transformed into Nendoroid size beautifully! As his one line in the game states, his clothes are far too fancy for his demeanour, but that doesn’t change the fact that they look amazing!! The gold used in various instances over the outfit really make the relatively simple design stand out!

The shoulder cape featuring his symbol is split into two parts, allowing for various different nuances in posing!

△ The wavering appearance through the sculpt is also lovely!

The shoulder cape also comes with an alternate version which can be swapped out for this pose! (´□｀｡)

Slightly more folded out, elegantly blowing in the wind behind him!

This part alone allows for a rather different atmosphere in poses! The appearance really works nicely in creating a tense fight scene – the moment before the battle!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

With that said, I think it’s time to take a look at his second expression…

A combat expression!

He looks so carefully focused on the enemies before him! A perfect stance with absolute confidence in his eyes!

As you can see, you can also pose his scabbard attached at his hips to allow for these combat scenes! The knot that ties the scabbard on is even tied up on this version of the scabbard – different to the one he holds in his hands! (・ω・)/

The tightly closed mouth and sharp eyes really give a nice tense feeling that combat is about to begin for Ichigo Hitofuri!

The spilt part of the shoulder cape can be moved up and around the arm like above, allowing for various different stances and ways to hold his sword! I can’t wait to see all the ideas that everyone comes up with! (*´Д｀)=з

We’ve had a relaxed expression and a combat expression, so let’s move on to his third expression…

A lovely smile based on his line from the game, ‘My thanks to you’! (/ω＼)

The pose with his hand to his chest brings out that gentlemanly personality so nicely as well!! I wish I had Ichigo Hitofuri as my older brother!!

Anyway, as Nendoroids are in fact action figures, let’s try out a couple of poses!! The poses and stories you can make with figures are only limited by your imagination!! Let’s see what my imagination is capable of… ｜ω･；)ﾁﾗｯ

– Patting One of his Little Brothers on the Head –

Ichi-nii is well known for always thinking of his little brother swords! I’m sure before he goes out to battle he always gives them a pet on the head! The cape blowing elegantly to the side makes his farewell even more touching!! ★

– Acting a Little Bashful –

Depending on how you look at it, the smiling expression can also be seen as a bit of an embarrassed expression! Here he have him raising up his arm as if trying to hide away his embarrassment a bit!

Compare the two photos above and you can see you can really experience all sorts of different sides of Ichigo’s personality through the figure!!

I also strongly recommend capturing your favourite poses of the Touken characters and sharing them! Because I want to see them too!!

△ Even a little change in the angle of the neck makes for a different impression.

If you wish to share your photos with other Touken fans, Tweet the photo on Twitter together with this hashtag: ‘#ねんどろ刀剣男士‘! You can also search for that tag to find all sorts of lovely photos!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Last but not least, he also comes with a round base featuring his symbol!! ★

These stands have of course been included with all the Touken Ranbu Nendoroids, and they look really amazing all lined up together! (●´ω｀●)

Add the adorable Ichi-nii to your collection!

Nendoroid Ichigo Hitofuri

Nendoroid Hana Isuzu & Nendoroid Mako Reizei

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I currently have the incredible urge to eat something chocolate mint flavoured. However decided to mix those two flavours together was a genius!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at two related products!

Nendoroid Hana Isuzu

& Nendoroid Mako Reizei!

Ooooooooooh!! (´□｀｡)

The gunner and driver for the Ankou Team are both joining the Nendoroids dressed up in the Panzer jackets! The two girls have both had their lovely long black hair sculpted and if you look close you can see the little difference in color and sculpt between the two!

△ Mako on the left has a bit more of a blue tint to her hair!

This means that all the members of the Ankou Team have joined the Nendoroids!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Nendoroid Miho Nishizumi

Nendoroid Yukari Akiyama

Nendoroid Saori Takebe

But let’s get back to today’s main features, starting off with…

Nendoroid Hana Isuzu!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

From the anime series ‘Girls und Panzer’ comes a Nendoroid of the Ankou Team’s gunner, Hana Isuzu! She has been sculpted wearing her panzer jacket and comes with three different expressions including a gentle standard expression, a sweet smiling expression as well as an aiming expression to pose her getting ready to fire in combat!She also comes with a variety of optional parts including a bento lunch box to show how much she loves to eat and well as sitting parts, a gunner’s chair and even a turret aiming device to display her getting ready to fire! Be sure to display her together with Nendoroid Miho Nishizumi, Nendoroid Yukari Akiyama, Nendoroid Saori Takebe and Nendoroid Mako Reizei to complete the Ankou Team and Panzer Vor!!!

The adorable girl who comes from a family that practices flower arranging comes with the cute standard face above, as well as a more elegant smiling face you’ll see below!!

She also comes with a bento lunch box! (●´ω｀●)

This shows just how much she loves to eat!! ♪

The combination of the smiling expression together with the bento shows just how happy she is to be holding it!! Plus as you can see she also comes with sitting parts as well as a gunner’s chair!

But that’s not all!

“This shot is filled with all of our hearts!!”

A turret aiming device to display her as if inside a tank getting ready to fire! Even in Nendoroid size, the details on this device are quite impressive!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

△ The device can be connected into one of the holes on the base!

Plus as you may have noticed from the last photo, she also comes with an aiming expression to display her getting ready to take the shot!

It can also be seen as a winking expression! ٩( ・ω＜)و

You can even pose her aiming while standing up like this, if you prefer! Simply match the pose to the situation!!

She also comes with bent arm parts and various different hands that allow for various different poses – here she looks much more elegant sitting down! ♡

Be sure to add the composed, strong and beautiful Hana-san to your collection!

Next up, Nendoroid Mako Reizei!★

From the anime series ‘Girls und Panzer’ comes a Nendoroid of the Ankou Team’s driver, Mako Reizei! She has been sculpted wearing her panzer jacket and comes with three different expressions including her composed standard expression, a sleepy expression as well as a frustrated expression for when she can’t think of a good idea!She also comes with a variety of optional parts including the tank textbook that she read repeatedly as well as a driver’s seat fitted with various levers to recreate the feel of the inside of a tank! Be sure to display her together with Nendoroid Miho Nishizumi, Nendoroid Yukari Akiyama, Nendoroid Saori Takebe and Nendoroid Hana Isuzu to complete the Ankou Team and Panzer Vor!!!

As you can see she comes with her adorable sleepy face as well as that cat paw-like hand to rub at her eyes!! So adorable!! (σ・∀・)σ

The half-open mouth just completes the cuteness!!

She can’t get much done early in the day due to her low blood sugar, but when she does get things done it is always at an amazing level! She was able to drive a tank without flaw after reading the control manual just once!! ♪

A tank driver’s seat with levers and pedals is included for her to sit in!

The seat connects onto the base with a joint, which means you can even move the seat like this…

A Reclining Tank Seat!!

This means you can pose Mako dozing off in the chair like this!!

△ Dozing off after reading the manual!

Everyone knows Mako as a bad morning person, but there is another part of her personality too…

“Ghosts… are even worse than waking up early!”

The included frustrated expression can also be used to make her look rather nervous – which suits this line perfectly!! Mako normally has a very composed and relaxed personality, so seeing her stress like this is actually quite a rare sight! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

Here she was told a scary story and now can’t properly remember what she is reading…!

△ You can also pose her reading the manual like so!

Along with the fun with expressions, you can also pose her sitting in the tank, ready to drive!

Be sure to add the cute Mako to your collection as well!

The last two members in the Nendoroid Ankou Team!

Nendoroid Hana Isuzu

& Nendoroid Mako Reizei!

They will both be up for preorder from the 12th November!! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Orders of either from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Special Nendoroid Base (Inside Tank) as a bonus!!☆

Be sure to keep the bonus in mind when preordering! ♪

PLUS! These two items are both planned to be made in GSC’s Tottori figure factory!

In other words, they will both be ‘MADE IN JAPAN‘ Nendoroids!

Nendoroid Eli Ayase: Training Outfit Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I want to try eating Pelmeni! I love hearing about food that I’ve never heard of before!! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Eli Ayase: Training Outfit Ver.♪

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a Nendoroid of Eli Ayase wearing her training outfit! She comes with both a smiling expression as well as a stern expression based on the stricter side of Eli before she joined μ’s.Optional parts include an alternate back hair part that allows you to display her with her hair down, allowing you to enjoy Eli with either a ponytail or with long hair instead! A special ‘holding hand’ part is also included for use with the ‘Ima wa Bokura no Naka de’ LoveLive! Nendoroid series! Be sure to display her with the other Nendoroids in the series!

\ Cute! / \ Clever! /

\ Elichika! ♡/

The perfect beauty with both physical ability and intelligence, Eli Ayase is joining the LoveLive! Nendoroid series in her training outfit! The rather sporty outfit she uses for training has been very nicely preserved in Nendoroid size!!

The smile on her face has a kind of warm feeling to it that seems willing to accept anything that someone may have done with an open mind! I really love that smile!! っ(/ω＼)

The ponytail tied high up on her head is also fitted with a Nendoroid joint allowing you to match the movement of her hair to her pose more easily!

△ The two longer side sections of hair bring out her hairstyle so nicely!

Elichika is the first of the third years! ٩( ‘ω’ )و

The figures in the series so far have been as follows…

　#1: Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka: Training Outfit Ver.

#2: Nendoroid Umi Sonoda: Training Outfit Ver.

#3: Nendoroid Kotori Minami: Training Outfit Ver.

#4: Nendoroid Hanayo Koizumi: Training Outfit Ver.

#5: Nendoroid Rin Hoshizora: Training Outfit Ver.

#6: Nendoroid Maki Nishikino: Training Outfit Ver.

★ Preorders Still Open!! ★

Blog Review: Nendoroid Maki Nishikino: Training Outfit Ver.

Once all the third years are released, all the μ’s members will be together in their training outfits as well!! The releases have been so nice and quick!!

Anyway, let’s get back to Eli, with a look at her second expression! (●´ω｀●)

This expression was added in the image of the strict Eli before she joined μ’s!

A stern expression!

She also comes with alternate bent left and right arm parts and her wrist parts can be separated and swapped out allowing for quite a lot of different posing options! ☆

The pose above has her twirling her fingers through her hair while stubbornly trying to explain something to the other μ’s members, but…

My personal pose recommendation…

Hands on her hips looking upward!

I think this brings out the ‘Nendoroid’ cuteness of her really well! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Plus she also comes with a rather different optional part to the previous characters!

An alternate back hair part!★

In other words you can display her with her hair down for a rather different appearance!!

I always find it quite a rush to see a girl with their hair down when they normally always have it tied up!

△ Even with the stern expression it has a rather different feel!

You can pose this together with Nendoroid Umi Sonoda: Training Outfit Ver. and her embarrassed expression to create a scene where Umi-chan is excited to see Eli’s hair down!!♡

△ Posing the ‘Training Outfit’ series together allows for all sorts of fun scenes!

Enjoy all different sides of Eli through different expressions and hairstyles!

Nendoroid Eli Ayase: Training Outfit Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♪

As with all the previous Nendoroids in this series, she also comes with holding hands parts designed for use with the original LoveLive! Nendoroid series!

△ Connect the hands of the original Nendoroids together!

In addition, if you preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will also receive a Special Nendoroid Background Sheet (Night Sky) & Special Nendoroid Stand ♪

△ The third years have a romantic night sky! ♥︎

Be sure to keep the bonus in mind when preordering! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Plus!

Tomorrow another LoveLive! item will also be going up for preorder…

Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag & Eye Mask LoveLive! Ver.

From the anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a special Nendoroid Pouch made in the image of the members of μ’s! In addition, an all new eye mask for Nendoroids is also included as a set! Place your favorite LoveLive! Nendoroid in the pouch and carry them around with you wherever you go!

Here is an example how how it can be used with one of the older Sleeping Bag designs!!

Be sure to consider it as well!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Nendoroid Nya-tan

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan) Today I’m going to be taking a look at a product that went up for preorder yesterday…

Nendoroid Nya-tan!☆

From the popular anime series ‘Etotama’ comes a Nendoroid of Nya-tan, the eto-musume of the cat that dreams to one day become one of the twelve Chinese Zodiac Gods! She comes with both an energetic smiling expression as well a somewhat obnoxious yet still adorable devious expression.

Optional parts include the Soruraru Seal that marks her victory in the ETM12 divine selection ritual. You can also switch the stickers on the seal to create the seals of each of the eto-musume! Enjoy the adorable company of Nya-tan by your side in Nendoroid form!

“I will be one of the Chinese Zodiac signs!”

The young and innocent eto-musume representing the cat family is joining the Nendoroids! Her cute moe fang, giant star-shaped hair accessory, sailor outfit… everything that makes Nya-tan herself has been carefully shrunk into Nendoroid size!! (*´Д｀)=з

△ The huge yellow ribbon also looks great!

Now that I think about it…
the Nendoroid design is perfect for her ‘Pretty Mode’ transformation!!

△ Her tail and side-tail hair are both fitted with joints for matching with poses!

Anyway, Nya-tan comes with the adorable smiling face you see above…

But she also comes with this face!! ฅ(๑*д*๑)ฅ!!

Such a devious expression!!

Nya-tan will do whatever it takes to get the Soruraru Seal and this expression shows that side of her personality very clearly!

Even with such a cunning expression… I can’t hate her!! She’s too cute!

The way her mouth is bent in a cat-like way really brings the whole expression together nicely too!!

She also comes with a bent arm part that you can use for a pose like this, or various other different Nya-tan poses to enjoy!! ♥︎

Plus, the Soruraru Seal that marks her victory in the ETM12 divine selection ritual is also included!

△ It feels like she is pushing it out toward me!

Additionally, stickers for the other eto-musume are also included for you to swap out! ☆

△Each of the different seals are included as a sticker!

Plus, the inner sheet of the packaging is based on the background image of the Pretty Mode transformation scene, bringing out the scene even more!! (๑•̀ㅁ•́๑)✧

* The background has been placed on a panel for this photo.

This really makes it seem like the series is right beside you! ♪

Finally I must reveal one more important point…

Not only do her feet have adorable foot prints, But she is also wearing leggings! Add the adorable cat eto-musume to your collection!

Nendoroid Nya-tan

Nendoroid Saitama

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The vending machines have finally all started to sell warm drinks! I’m looking forward to some nice warm amazake as well!

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

Nendoroid Saitama!

From the popular anime currently being broadcast ‘One-Punch Man’ comes a Nendoroid of the man who obtained unrivalled power, Saitama! The characteristic round appearance of his head has been completely preserved in Nendoroid form!

He comes with two head parts with different expressions – one with his standard unconcerned expression and one with a more serious expression to show off during battle scenes! He also comes with a super market packet to hold to display the calmer side of his life as well! Simply pick the parts and pose that you prefer, and enjoy the company of the invincible Saitama!

Sensei!!!! (´□｀｡)

The hero who spent three years training to obtain his power, which now allows him to defeat even the strongest of enemies with a single punch!! Saitama is joining the Nendoroids! ☆

The rounded form of his head and completely not strong looking appearance has been faithfully shrunk down into Nendoroid size!

The design looks rather simple, but the smaller details such as the flowing appearance of his cape look lovely! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Plus those cheerful eyes that look hand-drawn…!

△ The Nendoroid was changed again and again to capture this style! ♪

He also comes with folded arms for a more heroic pose!!

△ I can just imagine an evil villain on the other side of that gaze…!

But the thing that makes Saitama so special if that even though he has such unfathomable power… he still fits in as an everyday guy as well! In order to help bring out that normal side of him, he also comes with this! ★

A shopping bag from the Munageya super market!

They must have had some stuff on special for him to buy! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

△ He looks quite satisfied! It must have been quite a bargain! ♡

But Sensei does have another side to him that also needs to be shown… which is why he also comes with this expression!!

A serious expression!★

He looks so… manly!!

I can just hear him shouting “TODAY WAS THE SPECIAL SALE AT THE SUPER MARKET!” from that one scene, along with countless other one punch scenes! The expressions are exchanged with a complete swap of the entire head part!

The pose also comes with a much more defined fist part that makes his punch look all the more powerful and imposing to match with his change in expression!! ♪

△ The tight fitting texture of the gloves also comes out nicely!

By the way, if you pose him with the normal expression and punch…

What an innocent looking punch!!

The difference between this punching pose and the last is just a few parts and yet the change is huge!! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

Plus he even comes with an alternate cape part to show the power behind his punches! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

The standard cape drops down and flutters down at his feet, while the alternate part is clearly being blown to the side with amazing force!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

You can also combine the serious face and crossed arms…

／100 Push-ups! 100 Crunches! 100 Squats!＼

This reminds me of the scene where he taught his secret to becoming so powerful! (/ω・＼)

I think I’ll need to change his pose each day! I can’t decide which I like best!! ♪

All of them capture Sensei so perfectly!!
Nendoroid Saitama!!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Vaccine Man Acrylic Plate (Includes Stand) as a bonus!!

△ Place it next to Nendoroid Saitama to give him something to punch! ♪

Be sure to keep the bonus in mind when preordering! (●´ω｀●)

Nendoroid Akitsushima

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I went to work wrapped up in a scarf due to the cold… I wish I could go to work wrapped up in my blankets from bed… (›´ω`‹ )

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

Nendoroid Akitsushima

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the seaplane carrier Akitsushima! She comes with three expressions including her standard expression, a half-damaged expression as well as a more comical upset expression with puffed out cheeks. The ship parts on her hips are fitted with various moving parts allowing the hip attachment part to slide along the edges as well as move the crane around – the crane can even be displayed stowed away when not in use!Her trademark seaplane ‘Taitei-chan’ is also included in a fairly impressive size as well as movable wings. It can also be set onto Akitsushima’s back for a slightly different appearance! As with most KanColle Nendoroids she also comes with some food parts as well – this time it is a Japanese-style breakfast set including miso soup and dried fish!

Ooooohhh!! (´□｀｡)

“Seaplane Carrier Akitsushima! Remember me along with Taitei-chan!!”

The Seaplane Carrier Akitsushima is joining the Nendoroids as the 21st Nendoroid from KanColle! You can find a list of all the Nendoroids and other KanColle products over on the KanColle product summary page here: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/kancolle!

Her lightly coloured hair with a long side-tail as well as her eyes that have a lovely translucent aura about then have been faithfully shrunk down to Nendoroid size! The large crane on her back as well as her ‘Taitei-chan’ seaplane are also included giving the figure some impressive volume while keeping all the important elements of her character in place!

This is how she looks from the back! (σ・∀・)σ

Her side-tail is fitted with a Nendoroid joint in match any pose!! ☆

You’ll also notice that the camouflage pattern on her crane is faithfully included, and the center of the earrings are made with a transparent material to give a shiny, crystal appearance! ♡

Originally they were planned to just be completely grey, but a certain admiral in the GSC fleet decided they needed a little more attention to detail!

As you can imagine, the change made for quite a different feeling that I know Akitsushima fans will appreciate! Another part that I love about Akitsushima’s design is the ribbon on the right side of her hair! The end of the ribbons have little anchors! ♡

△ Even the ties of the ribbon to the anchors have been sculpted on!

Anyway, let’s move onto her second expression part…

“All fleets, prepare for battle!”

Her second expression is made in the image of her half-damaged face! ( >ω・)

This pose is Akitsushima taking a hit, but already preparing the counter attack! Taitei-chan is on the crane and ready to pick up the wind…

“Ready to sortie!”

Attack effect parts are also included to bring out the feeling of battle even more! ★

△ The effect parts simply connect into the holes of the turret!

Also take note of her outfit!

The rather unique sleeve design that opens up around her armpits, along with the golden buttons on the front and dotted patterns on her sleeves have all been carefully sculpted and painted! (。・ω・)ノ

The slightly see-through look of white section on her skirt is also preserved using translucent parts!

The little opening to show off her belly button actually has the cute little navel sculpted as well!!

Anyway, let’s move on to her third expression…

“How very rude!”

An expression made to show that she can get a little feisty when it comes to her ‘camouflage’ make-up!

You can’t help but want to touch those puffed up cheeks!!

△ The puffed out look is much more than most Nendoroids!

As you can see from the above photos, the crane part can also be removed for a more everyday appearance of Akitsushima!

On that note, the crane part is actually on a slide-able piece that allows you to move the crane around like so! (●´ω｀●)

△Slides from left to right like so!

Once again the ship parts are connected with a Nendoroid joint which allows for all sorts of different poses, however this time it’s not just Akitsushima – you’ll notice another little place for a Nendoroid join on the other side of the ship parts…！

You can attach this hole to the Nendoroid joint on the bottom of Taitei-chan…

(*・ω・)⊃ COMBINE! ⊂(・ω・*)

Taitei-chan is connected to her back!!

This allows for some amazing fun poses like this one!! ♥︎

Akitsushima soaring through the air!

The ship part stand connector on the back faces downward allowing for a kind of floating feeling like this! (*´Д｀)=з

You can even pose her flying on Taitei-chan like this!!

Taitei-chan’s wings can also moved up and down slightly to give a more dynamic feel to the plane!

The crane is also fitted with this kind of movement!

All the different moving parts give her an almost toy-like feeling, and I obviously don’t mean that in a bad way at all – she is just packed with so many ways to play around with!! (/ω＼)

She also still comes with one more optional part…!

“Admiral, here’s your breakfast!”

Rice, miso soup, ohitashi and dried fish!! A lovely Japanese breakfast courtesy of Nendoroid Akitsushima! (/ω＼)

△ I would be happy to wake up to this in the morning! ♪

Each of the bowls and chopsticks are all attached onto the tray unfortunately, but the tray itself can be removed from her hands and placed elsewhere!

All sorts of movable parts and posing options! Be sure to add her to your fleet!

Nendoroid Akitsushima

She will be up for preorder from the 5th November! ☆

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a special box cover and a special Nendoroid base as usual! Be sure to keep it in mind when preordering! ♪

From the Metroid series’ “METROID Other M” comes yet another rerelease of the 1/8th scale figure of the series protagonist, Samus Aran! The figure has her wearing her Zero Suit – the outfit she wears while out on missions, but has the helmet removed to show off her beautiful face!She looks as cool and calm as ever as she holds her gun in her right hand, ready to take on anything that comes her way. The Baby Metroid that plays an important role in the story is also included along with Samus. It’s a figure that really brings out the atmosphere of the Metroid world for fans to enjoy!

This product is exclusive to the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP in Japan, but will be available at international partner shops as well!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

♥︎ Today’s Date ♥︎

I have always wondered whether Yamato has a different side than what she showed in the anime or game. I think she will be really excited to play with some cute pets like Tiger-MEIKO and Kitty-KAITO. Thank you to Good Smile Company for releasing one of the most beautiful and battle-ready Yamato as Nendoroid.
Now I wonder how the other KanColle girls will look like when they encounter adorable stuff. :3
