Nendoroid Co-de: Sophie Hojo

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My hay fever is really acting up at the moment! Whenever it rains I know the next day is going to be terrible! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the next in the Nendoroid Co-de series!

Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de
& Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de ☆

△ Left: Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de / Right: White Swan Co-de
Joining the new ‘Nendoroid Co-de’ brand of Nendoroids is Sophie Hojo from the popular anime PriPara! There are two different versions to enjoy – Sophie comes in her Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de or White Swan Co-de!

Both of the outfits are from the stylish ‘Holic Trick’ brand – one is the cyalume co-de and the other is the outfit used when Sophie performs her solo stage, ‘Solar Flare Sherbet’!

Be sure to display her together with the previously announced Laala Manaka and Mirei Minami Nendoroid Co-de figures, which will allow for all sorts of different outfit combinations!

Sophiiiiiiiiiiieee!!! (´□`。)

The stylish character with two very different personalities that are both equally lovable! Her long red hair and slightly mysterious eyes are so very lovely, as are the outfits from the ‘Holic Trick’ brand!

This also means that all three members of SoLaMi♡SMILE are all officially up for order! ♥︎

△ Left: Mirei Minami Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de

Here are the previous figures in the Nendoroid Co-de series! 

☆ Laala Manaka Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
★ Laala Manaka Cutie Ribbon Co-de
☆ Mirei Minami Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de
★ Mirei Minami Magical Clown Co-de

Once more for those who have missed out on recent blogs… 

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 and with the ability to dress-up in various ways! Great fun for both young and old fans! 

For more information, be sure to check out the…

Nendoroid Co-de Special Site!

Here you can find out more about the Nendoroid Co-de series as well as test out some of the possible outfit combinations that will come from the first three characters! 

The page also features a new ‘This Week’s Co-de’ which shows off a specific Co-de each week!! Check the page on Mondays for a new Co-de!

Anyway, let’s get back on to Sophie’s review! 

Nendoroid Co-de: Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de

“Girls be free! Valkyria!!”

The combination of white, red and black make for a kind of rocky, but Gothic outfit that has an incredibly stylish feel to it! She is posed with a microphone singing for her fans! The red ribbons on the top of the boots and the frilly skirt really bring out both the cool and the cute so nicely! ♥︎


△ Definitely a different taste in outfit compared with Laala and Mirei!

Next up we have…

Nendoroid Co-de: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de

“Have you all been behaving? My little caged birdies…”

I-I’m behaving!! I’ve been patiently waiting for you!!!

A simple outfit featuring a lovely mix of black and white! It is such an amazing outfit to mix and match with others! (●´ω`●)

Her long hair makes it a little difficult to see, but I want to highlight the back of her outfit!!

It’s open at the top showing off some skin!!

The white gloves and slightly sexy outfit all come together to create a rather mature co-de! That brings my basic review to an end…. but that means it’s time for…

COORDINATE TIME!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

 

\Co-de Change!! ♪/

· Head: Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de
· Upper: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de
· Lower: Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de
· Shoes: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de

A mix and match between the two outfits!!

Mixing parts of outfits between the same character is definitely the easiest! The combinations almost always look great! ♪

Next let me try from parts from Mirei Minami!☆

· Head: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de
· Upper: Mirei Minami – Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de
· Lower: Mirei Minami – Magical Clown Co-de
· Shoes: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de

Next up, let’s move on to our now standard Co-de extra!

The GSC Staff’s Recommended Co-de!!

1) Sales Team: Murakami

Some of you might remember Murakami from the Japan Pilgrimage event!

He also often stops by Akihabara stores, so many of you might have had the chance to meet him!

This is his recommended Co-de ヽ(゚◇゚ )ノ

· Head: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de
· Upper: Mirei Minami – Magical Clown Co-de
· Lower: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· Shoes: Mirei Minami – Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de

Suddenly the amazing pose from Mirei’s body is on Sophie!!

 

Excellent work, Murakami!!

The colorful look of Mirei’s outfit suits Sophie just as well! I’m also sure she’d look great with Laala’s complete outfits too! ♡

 

2) Advertising Team: Yoshii

Last year’s new graduate in the advertising team!

From April we’ll have all new graduates coming in! I wonder what kind of people they will be! Anyway, while she is busy getting ready for AnimeJapan this weekend she took the time to make this Co-de!

· Head: Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de
· Upper: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· Lower: Mirei Minami – Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de
· Shoes: Mirei Minami – Magical Clown Co-de

Ooooh! A very classic looking idol!

She seems so much more gentle in this outfit! (/ω\)

The mix of the swinging arm and bent leg parts also make for a rather dynamic scene! Yoshii has cleverly thought out not only the outfit, but also the pose!!

Anyway, Sophie’s release means that finally all three members of SoLaMi♡SMILE are up for preorder! Once they are released I want to see photos of everyone’s recommended Co-des! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de
& Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de!

Both up for preorder from tomorrow! ♥︎

Each purchase of will also include a special original ‘Friend Ticket’ that can be used in the PriPara game! More details about that at a later stage! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Plus! Just like Laala and Mirei, orders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP will include decoration seals to add even more possibilities to your outfits! 

There is even a ‘Pickled Plum Pizza’ Sticker! <○><○>

These can easily be attached to the hair parts or the outfits to add an extra little customization! ♥︎

But that’s not all!

In commemoration of the Nendoroid Co-de series, items based around the Nendoroid Co-de products will be available in game from the March live performance!

*Designs are provisional. Level is not fixed.

Each month a new character is scheduled to be added!

Sophie will be joining soon! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Utaha Kasumigaoka: A Closer Look!

“Good morning, Rinri-kun.”

 

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a closer look at the figure I introduced yesterday…

The 1/7th Scale…

Utaha Kasumigaoka!♥︎

From the anime series ‘Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the top student and up-and-coming novelist Utaha Kasumigaoka-senpai!The figure is based on an illustration by Kurehito Misaki, the original character designer of the series – it features Utaha right the middle of getting dressed, and has been sculpted and painted with great care to ensure it captures the charm of Utaha-senpai from the original illustration. Obviously all the areas that were never visible on the illustration have been carefully considered and added on to the figure, allowing fans to enjoy the lovely pose from any angle they please!

Hyafuuuuuuuuuu!!!! (/ω\)

Yesterday I took a quick sneak peek at some of the highlights of the figure, so be sure to take a look at that blog as well!
⇒ Utaha Kasumigaoka (Sneak Peek)

But let’s get on with today’s review, starting from the back!

The figure is posed  leaning over making her stand slightly shorter than most 1/7th scale figures! Her long, flowing hair looks so very soft, and the way her skirt is being lifted up is fantastic!

The reverse side of the figure is filled with so many highlights that you never get to see from the front!

Taking a look from the side also shows off a fair amount of skin! Just look at the curves around the belly button!

The intricate creases and folds of the blouse are so realistic!

It really makes me feel like I’m taking peeping photos! (°Д°;≡°Д°;)

Another piece of detail that I really loved is the fastener’s on the outfit! The left and right sides have been properly thought out for the sculpt!

You wouldn’t be able to see parts like that if the clothes were fully worn… 

But that’s exactly why a dressing scene like this exists, isn’t it?! 

The ribbon and it’s fasteners, the collar and her boldly opened out blouse… everything about the sculpt and pose just begs you to stare in awe!

When it comes down to it, it’s a rather simple school uniform, but that exact second of the start of getting dressed has been frozen in time for fans to enjoy forever! That’s what makes her so special! (*´Д`)♥

The 1/7th scale also allows for a little more detail to be added into the figure! The figure’s planner, Kyojin, had this highlight to point out! 

The Toe Area of the Stockings!

You can clearly make out where the toes begin thanks to the sculpt!

Let’s check on the sculptor’s highlights!

The sculptor of this figure is none other than Good Smile’s Manabu Katou! His highlights of the sculpt were…

The fluttering feeling of the uniform!

The blouse and blazer are so meticulously sculpted which gives off a really realistic look to the outfit! It really looks like gravity is pulling on it, and the various parts are fluttering loosely. All the areas that were never visible on the original illustration are also carefully thought out and sculpted on in a wonderful way!

Apparently the most difficult thing to work on was the creases and fluttering effect of the uniform! I said it was a rather simple outfit, but that my no means makes it easy to sculpt – the amount of detail is still incredible! (●´ω`●)

See-though Stockings

The calves, back of her knees and bottom are all covered up by ever so slightly transparent stockings! The tight pull of the stockings on the skin is nicely noticeable as well! You need to really see this for yourself when she joins your collection!

Utaha-senpai’s black stockings are definitely one of her charm points! ♥︎

The fact that she is lifting her skirt up means that even more of the stockings are visible than most figures with stockings! (σ・∀・)σ

Even the run guard in the stocking is visible on the figure!!

Then as if that amount of detail wasn’t enough, they are even slightly translucent allowing you to see the soft skin behind them as well! ♪

Utaha-senpai getting dressed just for you!

Utaha Kasumigaoka!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♥︎

Plus as mentioned yesterday, all purchases of Utaha-senpai will include a postcard featuring the original illustration by Kurehito Misaki that the figure is based on!

By the way, this postcard is included with purchases from any store! It is not an exclusive!! More details will be up on the GSC Website tomorrow, so be sure to take a look! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Utaha Kasumigaoka (Sneak Peek)

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

A rather personal thing to start off with, but let me just say that Aki-kun is most definitely my type! (And just in case anyone was wondering, I mean Aki-kun from Saekano, not the CEO of Good Smile!)

Anyway, today I’ll be taking a quick look at…

The 1/7th scale…

Utaha Kasumigaoka!

From the anime series ‘Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the top student and up-and-coming novelist Utaha Kasumigaoka-senpai!The figure is based on an illustration by Kurehito Misaki, the original character designer of the series – it features Utaha right the middle of getting dressed, and has been sculpted and painted with great care to ensure it captures the charm of Utaha-senpai from the original illustration. Obviously all the areas that were never visible on the illustration have been carefully considered and added on to the figure, allowing fans to enjoy the lovely pose from any angle they please!

Oooooooooooohhhhhh!! (/ω\)

Toyogasaki Academy Class 3C’s long, black haired girl with a talent for writing! Also known by her pen name, Utako Kasumi her first novel was chosen as the winner of the Fushikawa Fantastic Bunko competition! The beautiful, talented young lady is now getting a figure in a rather revealing pose! ♪

The figure is based on an illustration by Kurehito Misaki, the original character designer of the series!

Utaha-senpai’s beauty and charm come though so well with the figure… but on top of that the faithful rendition of the original illustration is also simply amazing!

She is scheduled to go up for preorder on the 19th March!

But I’m going to be taking a quick sneak peek at a few points today!! ヽ(゚◇゚ )ノ

 

-1- Note the Texture of her Clothes!

△ Her blazer and opened out blouse… the way the ribbon is hanging!

– 2 – See-though Stockings!

△ It might be covered up, but the skin is still clearly visible!

– 3 – The Creases in the Skirt! 

△ She looks so defenceless from the back! You’ll have her all to yourself! ♡

– 4 – Her Long, Soft-looking Hair!

 △ Her shiny long black hair is definitely one of her primary traits as a character! Even though I know the material they are made from is hard, I can’t help but think it should be soft to the touch!

 

 

– 5 – Meet her Eyes, Even From the Side!

△ This angle makes you feel like you’ve been caught peeking!

 

Well, what do you think?!

Tomorrow I’ll  be taking a closer look at various areas I think need highlighting! (`・ω・´)ゞ

Plus as an extra bonus for fans to look forward to… the original illustration by Kurehito Misaki…

Will be included with all purchases as a post card!! 

*The post card will be included with all purchases regardless of the store purchased.

Shigure Kai Ni (Part 2)

 

\”Shigure, heading out!”/

 

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking another look at this item which went up for preorder last Tuesday!

Shigure Kai Ni!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the 2nd Shiratsuyu Class Destroyer, Shigure Kai Ni! The pose is based on the illustration used on Shigure’s card in Bushiroad’s card game, ‘Weiβ Schwarz’. The ship parts differ to those normally seen in the games illustrations, and the pose depicts Shigure in a confident and powerful looking way that fans are sure to enjoy!

Additionally, the figure comes with alternate parts that allow you to display her more true to the games illustration – with the larger ship parts attached to her back and smaller turrets on her arms – quite a large variation for a scale figure. The smaller turrets on the sides as well as the torpedo launchers on her legs are also articulated, allowing you to place them at the angle that you think suits her best!

Kujou Ichiso’s illustration has been faithfully transformed into a figure!

The latest KanColle figure from GSC! You can find my previous article on the figure over here:
http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2015/02/26/shigure-kai-ni-part-1/

The figure is now up for preorder… and you may or may not have noticed, but something is quiet different compared to the previous time I showed her on my blog! ヽ(・ω・´(`・ω・´)ノ`・ω・)ノ

Shigure Kai Ni can in fact be posed in two distinct poses! The first is the exact same as the original illustration – with the two large cannons held in her hands… but you can also instead move the cannons onto her back to recreate the original game’s appearance as well!!  

Today I’ll be taking a look at just how you switch between these two versions!! ヽ(゚◇゚ )ノ 

Let’s swap over to the other version step-by-step! 

1. Remove Ship Parts

First off, you need to take the large cannon ship parts…

…and detach them like so!

The parts are quite easily detached and reattached! You also can then remove the parts that connect to her hips, which you can see below!

 

2. Combine the two Halves!

I decided to make a GIF to illustrate this! (`・ω・´)ゞ

 

I wanted to make the combination look awesome! So I added a whole bunch of unnecessary frames and movements, but the two halves basically connect into each other very quick and easily!

3. Twist the Double-Barrelled Gun Part Upward and Detach the Single Barrelled Gun!

Twist!

Detach!!

The multi and single-barrelled turrets connect onto the larger parts with a round connector, which means they not only detach, but can also be attached at various different angles like this!! ε=(。・д・。)


△ The torpedo launchers on her legs are also articulated!

4. Turret and Alternate Hand Parts

The single-barrelled turret can then connect onto the alternate hand parts!

△ The barrel can also be moved around for different nuances!

Her right hand also comes with an alternate clenched hand part, which really completes the confident pose! (●´ω`●)ゞ

This angle really shows off the fluttering skirt and allows a nice peek at her thighs!

Let’s take a look a little lower at her lovely long legs as well! <○><○>

Her slender build means that her thighs and calves are very nice and shapely!

The WonHobby Selection figure Musashi Kai: Heavy Armament Ver. had much more meaty upper legs, which I thought were lovely… but Shigure’s healthy looking legs are a lovely contrast!

Along with the lovely thighs, you also get a nice look at her charming knees!!

Anyway! I got a little carried away for awhile, but…
…the posing is now complete!! 
ε=(。・д・。)

Even though the only part that has actually been switched out completely is the hand parts… the moving around of parts really allows for a very different appearance! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

It’s a rather simple design, but it works so very well! Even someone as clumsy as myself was able to switch between the poses with ease, so I’m sure everyone will have no trouble at all! ♪

* Please note the product is still in development. Certain aspects may still change.

 

One figure, two great poses!

The calm and cool Kanmusu! ♡

Shigure Kai Ni!

She is currently up for preorder!

Product Page: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/4863/

Preorders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP will also receive a B2 poster as a bonus! The design hasn’t been completed just yet, but it will be announced shortly! Preorders from the GSC Online shop are open until the 15th April at 21:00JST, so make sure you don’t miss out! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Steiff x Hatsune Miku

\A Hatsune Miku themed teddy bear!/

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

When I was younger, I always  slept together with plushies! Just having them by my side always made me feel so much safer!

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

Steiff x Hatsune Miku!

The electronic diva Hatsune Miku is joining up with the German-based teddy bear brand known for their high quality, ‘Steiff’ for a rather unique Miku teddy bear collaboration!

The teddy bear features lots of special touches in the image of Miku, such as a frilly collar and necktie, a ’01’ mark sewn onto the shoulder and even a silhouette of Miku embroidered onto the sole of the foot! The overall color of the teddy has also been matched up with Miku, while the soft and fluffy feeling of the mohair is a delight to touch! Each and every bear is made by hand to create a Hatsune Miku teddy of the utmost quality for fans to keep by their side!

Ooooooooooooohhhh!! (*´Д`)

Our Miku-san has teamed up with the world famous teddy maker, Steiff!!! ♪

I can’t thank them enough for working together with us!!

Just look at this soft and fluffy hair!!

△ It feels so nice to touch!! I wish I could hold onto this mohair all day long!

As the teddy is a collaboration item with Miku, you’ll notice things that link to her! The color is of course the first thing, but also note the necktie and collar that have obviously been made with so much love!! If you take a closer look at the tie, you’ll also notice that it is even has the back fold!! ☆


△ The collar goes all the way around the neck! 

Also take note of his furry feet! <○><○>

The right foot has ‘Miku’ sewn onto the design! ♪

The pink coloring comes from the pink found on her hair accessories!

Plus the arm faithfully keeps the ‘01′ mark! (●´ω`●)

As if a Steiff teddy bear wasn’t already one of the most lovable things in the world… now it comes filled with Miku-themed goodness!!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

But… what exactly is Steiff …?

△ Photographed with Aki-san’s other Steiff bears! ☆

Steiff (Margarete Steiff GmbH) is a German plush toy company started in 1880 and known for its high quality! In 1902 they were the first company to create the teddy bear that the whole world has come to love, and even now they are the top brand of teddies around the globe! φ(.. )

Each of their products are carefully handmade in Germany!

All Steiff bears are works of art made the classic, traditional way!!

△ The Chest Tag clearly has both the Miku and Steiff logos!

Each of the bears also features the Steiff Ear Tag and Steiff “Button in Ear” – a worldwide trademark of unmistakable quality! (●´ω`●)

△ Proof that the teddy was handmade with love and care! ♥︎

The tags on normal Steiff bears are yellow with red text, but limited edition ‘Collector’ products such as the Miku bear instead have a white tag with red text!

△ The yellow tag has an item number and material used printed on it.
The white tag shows the item number, year of manufacture and serial number!

Here we have a size comparison with a Nendoroid!

△ Looks great displayed with Nendoroid Hatsune Miku 2.0!

Another thing that I’m sure vigilant readers have already noticed, is that her left foot contains an embroidered silhouette of Miku!!

△ To think that this was done by the teddy artisans in Germany! ♪

Also, all the photos I’ve shown so far have been of sitting poses…

But the arms and legs are articulated!! ヽ(゚◇゚ )ノ

△ Standing up! The bear stands around 270mm in height!

The teddy doesn’t quite stand on it’s own, but you can help it along by offering your hand for some adorable photos like this one! ♥︎

△ I want to take him out for walkies!!

It probably no longer even needs to be said, but another trait well known about Steiff bears is their durability!! It’ll stay by your side for years to come!

This really is a collaboration of dreams between the best of the best in teddy bears and out angel Miku-san!! Not only does it look absolutely adorable, but is made with top materials and carefully manufactured to create a top quality item for fans to enjoy!

Grab one and add some love to your home!

Steiff x Hatsune Miku!

Red Bull Air Race: Chiba – Latest News Updates!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I really don’t like the feeling of ‘floating’ when in an aeroplane. I always try my best to be sleeping before takeoff… (θωθ)

Anyway! Today I’m going to be taking a look at some news around the event that Good Smile Company is very involved with…

Red Bull Air Race: Chiba 2015

I’m sure most of you already know, but a quick recap for those who are out of the loop! The three-dimensional, world’s fastest motor sports series, the Red Bull Air Race World Championship’s 2015 season second race will be taking place in Japan for the very first time at Kaihim Makuhari Park in Chiba prefecture!

Good Smile Company’s CEO Aki-san has taken the place of ‘Tournament Executive Producer’ for the event! Before I get onto the latest news about the event, let’s first have a little recap! (。・ω・)ノ゙

△ We had one of the racing places on display at Winter WonFes!

What is the Red Bull Air Race?

The Red Bull Air Race World Championship is an official World Championship, accredited by the FAI – The World Air Sports Federation.

Since it was officially launched, the Red Bull Air Race World Championship has become globally renowned as the fastest and most exhilarating motor-sport on the planet.

Devised by the Red Bull sports think-tank, the initial goal was to create the most advanced aerial challenge the world had ever seen; what has evolved into the Red Bull Air Race we know today has far exceeded any original expectations.

It is a visual spectacle unlike any other. A combination of high speed, low altitude and extreme manoeuvrability make it only accessible to the world’s most exceptional pilots.

12 pilots are competing in the Master Class category in eight races across the globe for the title of 2014 Red Bull Air Race World Champion. The objective is to navigate an aerial racetrack featuring air-filled pylons in the fastest possible time, incurring as few penalties as possible. Pilots can win World Championship points at each race and the pilot with the most points after the last race of the season becomes the Red Bull Air Race World Champion.

The world’s fastest, three dimensional

Aeroplane Race!!

Nendoroid Plus: Major League Baseball / HELLO KITTY

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve never been able to keep a game of catch going for more than a few throws… I’m just terrible when it comes to any ball games!

Today I’m going to be introducing everyone to…

Nendoroid Plus: Major League Baseball / HELLO KITTY

MLB / HELLO KITTY is joining the Nendoroid Family!

The popular ‘HELLO KITTY’ brand loved all around the world is joining the Nendoroid Family! The set contains ten different figures each wearing the uniform of MLB baseball teams and placed in dynamic poses you’re likely to see at a baseball match!

Each also comes with a special Nendoroid base which can be placed together to create a baseball field for them to play on – all the more reason to collect them all!

PLAY BALL!! ( ・ㅂ・)و 

These were sold at various baseball events and stores around November last year!

Unfortunately, they are not scheduled to be on sale overseas… but at the very least enjoy the cute photos! If you’re in Japan, sales at the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP have just opened up!

Each of the cute figures stand about 55mm in height!
They also have special stands to make a baseball ground! 


△ They’re so… relaxing to look at!!

Plus not only are they all in adorable baseball team poses… they’re also all wearing uniforms from Major League teams!!!  (σ・∀・)σ

 

 – St. Louis Cardinals – 

– Milwaukee Brewers – 
– Detroit Tigers – 
– Oakland Athletics –
– Los Angeles Dodgers –
– New York Mets –
– Boston Red Sox –

 

– New York Yankees –
– Seattle Mariners –
– San Francisco Giants –

Even though they are rather tiny, the smaller details such as the soles of their shoes and the marks of each team have been faithfully included! <○><○>

This is how they compare size-wise to a Nendoroid petite! ♪

If you combine all the bases, they come together to form this!

A complete baseball ground!

The stands are also the same size as a normal Nendoroid stand (60mm x 60mm) just with a special design, meaning you can use them for your other Nendoroids as well!

Add the cute Hello Kittys in baseball uniforms to your collection!

Nendoroid Plus: Major League Baseball / HELLO KITTY

They are limited in stock and unfortunately only available in Japan! (Sorry! 🙁 )

Shigure Kai Ni

“My contribution to this victory was trivial.
It was all thanks to the rain… and you, Admiral.”

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan) Today I’m going to be taking a look at the latest item to roll out from the GSC Naval Base!
 
Shigure Kai Ni! ♡ 

From the hugely popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the 2nd Shiratsuyu Class Destroyer, Shigure Kai Ni! The pose is based on the illustration used on Shigure’s card in Bushiroad’s card game, ‘Weiβ Schwarz’ – it features different ship parts to those seen in game with a confident and powerful looking pose that fans are sure to enjoy!

Additionally, Shigure Ni Kai comes with alternate parts that allow you to display her more true to the games illustration, with the larger ship parts attached to her back and smaller turrets on her arms – a rather large variation for a scale figure. The smaller turrets on the side of the larger parts that connect to her hands, as well as the torpedo launchers on her legs are all articulated, allowing you to place them at the angle that you think suits her best!

Oooooooooooohhhh!! (´□`。)

Her skirt and hair accessory almost actually seem to be moving in this dynamic pose! A figure that shows Shigure is ready for battle! The pose comes from a card in Bushiroad’s trading card game, ‘Weiβ Schwarz’! The illustration by Ichiso Kujou has been very carefully transformed into a figure while keeping as much of the original charm as faithfully as possible! ♪

The characteristic hair sticking out at the sides seen on the ‘Kai Ni’ version is also sculpted beautifully! (●´ω`●) 

The original illustration only ever showed the front of Shigure, so the back of the figure thought up and sculpted without any specific source to work with!

This is quite a common occurrence with KanColle figures!

The original illustration is very carefully taken into consideration while the back is designed. The final design is of course checked with the publisher to ensure that nothing is out of place! The good thing is that there are lots of mecha fans at GSC, which makes coming up with how these ship parts are attached an easy task… plus they look great!

Moving on, let’s take a closer look at her ship parts! <○><○>

The huge short-barrelled cannons normally seen on her back are held out ready to fire…!

All of the details on the ship parts give a nice mechanical appearance, and the various layers give a nice 3D appearance to the design! ♪

△ Nope, you can’t see them!

The contrast between the mechanical design and the soft white skin of her thighs is just as amazing as ever! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

By the way, even the reverse side of the torpedo launchers on her legs have been faithfully sculpted into the design!  ★

But while everything I’ve shown looks great and is overflowing with a lovely dynamic feel… without a doubt the best thing about this figure to me… is that facial expression!

You can just feel her confidence and powerful will through those eyes!!

Tomboyish characters like Shigure are generally known for their bright, energetic side… but Shigure actually has a more reserved personality than most expect! She has a very cool and calm personality! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Just look into her eyes right now… they are clearly focused and attentive…but with a slight hint of nervousness as she aims her weapons! I really feel like I’m right in the battle beside her when I look at this face, it captures the battlefield all with one expression!

But there are also various other areas that shouldn’t be missed out on… for example the slight peek at the nape of her neck by her single braid, or the uniform-like outfit that shows off Shigure’s amazing curves… or those long legs extending out from the skirt wavering in the wind….

There are so many different details to enjoy!!

Be sure to add her to your own collection and enjoy her from all sorts of different angles!

The beautiful destroyer, ready for battle!

Shigure Kai Ni!

She’ll be up for preorder soon!!

Plus! She comes with some bonus parts! Bonus parts that allow another look at fans may be more familiar with!!

Here is a sneak peek for now!

…I’m sure all the admirals out there have already figured it out! (;・`д・́)
*Or… you know… just read the product description above…

I’ll be looking at the alternate parts on the blog at a later stage!!

Nendoroid Co-de: Dress Coordination Examples!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I remember once in my youth I decided my dress-up doll needed her hair cleaned, and preformed a full shampoo and rinse! I even made sure to dry with a hair dryer! Perhaps at the time I was aspiring to be a hairdresser….

Anyway, today I’m going to continue my look at…
Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de &
Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de

Has everyone checked the product pages?! (`・ω・´)

☆ Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
☆ Nendoroid Co-de: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de

At long last the Nendoroid Co-de series has begun!! 

First and foremost, let’s have a quick reminder of what the series is all about! 

Nendoroid Co-de figures are more simplified Nendoroids, with the ability to dress-up in various ways! (`・ω・´)

At least, that’s my quick and simple definition, but you can find a much better one over on the official site!

△ The Co-de site is up and running! English version too!

Perhaps the biggest characteristic is that each figure has a very specific make-up of parts! ★

Each color in the photo above represents one of the four parts that will be found on any Nendoroid Co-de figure! These parts can be swapped around between the figures for all sorts of interesting costumes! ♪

△ Swapping the upper garment and shoes! ♪

The arms and legs are fixed in place in a specific pose, but instead you get to mix and match outfits in interesting ways!

Size-wise, they are exactly the same size as normal Nendoroids!

o0515034813223761294

△ Laala is a prototype which makes her a little bigger than the final product!

By the way!

Nendoroid Co-de head parts are compatible with normal Nendoroids! (`・ω・´)ゞ 

In other words, you can use Nendoroid expression parts with Nendoroid Co-de figures, as well as the other way around! This allows for even more interesting ideas and situations!

Anyway, today I am going to make use of the product that were announced today, as well as the four upcoming products, Mirei Minami: Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de, Mirei Minami: Magical Clown Co-de, Sophie Hojo : Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de and Sophie Hojo: White Swan Co-de to show some of the different outfits you can make with multiple Nendoroid Co-de figures!

△ They will also be available for order soon! !

My fashion sense is rather dubious, but I’m going to try my very best to coordinate some outfits! Starting with…

· Head: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· Upper: Mirei Minami – Magical Clown Co-de
· Lower: Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de
· Shoes: Mirei Minami – Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de

Mirei’s heart pose! I wanted to use it on Laala so badly!!!

The clothes all have a touch of red to them making them match up quite nicely! I think it turned out rather well! I look forward to using this heart pose with Sophie too!! 

Next up…!

· Head: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· Upper: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de
· Lower: Mirei Minami- Magical Clown Co-de
· Shoes: Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de

A much more mature looking outfit this time around!

The upper and lower garments have a tighter feel to them, giving a more serious look to Laala than you normally see! I personally love these shoes of Sophies too! (ノ)´∀`(ヾ)

Well? What did you think of my clothes coordination? I hope my ideas have given you at least some kind of idea as to some of the fun to be had with the Nendoroid Co-de series! ♡

However! Let’s not leave this to me!

Let me check with some of the GSC staff on their recommended combinations! (*´Д`)=з 

① Design Team: Yattsun

The staff member responsible for the Nendoroid Co-de handouts and posters!

The Nendoroid/figma catalogue and calender handed out at WonFes were also design by Yattsun!!

This is the outfit coordination that he decided was best! ♪

· Head: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de
· Upper: Sophie Hojo – Holic Trick Cyalume Co-de
· Lower: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de
· Shoes: Mirei Minami- Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de

An outfit truly fit for an idol! Just look at all those lovely ribbons!! ♪

A nice balance featuring parts from each of the characters! very nicely done! As a side note, the Nendoroid posters designed by Yattsun should be in stores from next week!! っ(。・ω・)ノ゙

② Planning Team: Hamako

Perhaps the most idol-like person in GSC, Hamako!

Hamako is actually quite the Pripara fan… what will she come up with? ♪

· Head: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de
· Upper: Mirei Minami- Candy Alamode Cyalume Co-de
· Lower: Sophie Hojo – White Swan Co-de
· Shoes: Mirei Minami- Magical Clown Co-de

A beautiful combination of colours!! The gentle whites at the center with colourful sections on the top and bottom! The dress of the White Swan Co-de really suits almost any other piece nicely! ♪

 

③ Planning Team: Otakana-shi

The Nendoroid Co-de series’ planner – Otanaka-shi!

Anyone who follows Otanaka-shi on Twitter will know his love for idols!! ★ (Particularly on Friday nights and Saturday mornings)

An idol lover’s selection of outfit…

· Head: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· Upper: Laala Manaka – Cutie Ribbon Co-de
· Lower: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· Shoes: Laala Manaka – Twinkle Ribbon Cyalume Co-de
· ?????
So….. cute…!! (●´ω`●)

 

But there seem to be some extra parts on this Laala!!! 

(・∀・) “Yep! Orders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP will come with special decoration stickers!

 

△ Design is provisional and may change without notice.

(・∀・) “The stickers come in all sorts of cute and colourful options to really brighten up your outfit choices even more!” 

△ An extra flower accent to the outfit! ♪

Combining the different parts of the figures allows for all sorts of fun… but having stickers adds even more cute and fun options! ♥︎

(・∀・) “I hope that both Nendoroid and Pripara fans alike will enjoy coordinating their very own outfits in all sorts of ways!! ♪” 

 △ I can’t wait to see photos from fans once they release!

 

Good Smile Company’s new series! 

Look forward to more soon!!

Nendoroid Tomoyo Kanzaki

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

If I could have any super power, I would pick teleportation! I would never have to ride the crowded train to work again! (if only…)

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

Nendoroid Tomoyo Kanzaki ☆

From the anime series ‘Inou Battle Within Everyday Life’ comes a Nendoroid of Tomoyo Kanzaki, the closet otaku who wields the ‘Closed Clock’ power – the power to control time! Tomoyo comes with three expressions including a smiling expression, a cute winking expression as well as a face that shows just how carried away she can get with her power!

She also comes with a huge selection of optional parts allowing you to recreate a number of scenes from the series! She also comes with a ‘Special Power Name Plate’! Fill your own life with supernatural battles!

Hyaahaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! (*´Д`)=з

One of the few people who can keep up with Jurai’s wild discussions with her abundance of otaku knowledge – Nendoroid Tomoyo Kanzaki!! ♥︎

She has been sculpting wearing her Senkou High School uniform which looks adorable in Nendoroid size! Her star shaped hairpins as well as a waistline that really shows off her lovely curves have all been faithfully shrunk down!

This is how she looks from the back!

Her half tied-up hair also looks lovely! ☆

The dark to light gradient from the tips of her hair up has also been preserved on the Nendoroid! Along with the winking expression above, she also comes with…

A more composed, smiling expression! ♡

Tomoyo is always taking care of things on the Literature Club, and this expression shows she definitely has a good nature to her… 

However! There is another side that had to be included!

It wouldn’t be Tomoyo without including this expression!! (`・д´・ ;) 

Ooooooooooooohhhh!! (/ω\)

I have not changed the pose at all from the previous photo… and yet suddenly she looks so very different! ♥︎

Plus another special part that woks perfectly with this expression…

“Be trapped in a pocket of time, wandering for all eternity!! “

A Power Name Plate!

When the powers were first introduced in the first episode they were shown with a name plate! I combined that with the pose from episode five to create a rather interesting situation!

The plate itself is a transparent sheet of plastic that can be attached to the Nendoroid stand using a special attachment piece that is included! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Tomoyo’s power if ‘Closed Clock’! The power to control time! 

The expression really shows just how much she can let loose sometimes!!

She is completely into it!!

I really love it when people can just let themselves go and enjoy themselves like this… another reason I love Jurai as well!

We also prepared this little bonus to show her using her power! (●´ω`●)

The background sheet of the box is made in the image of the background when she clicks her fingers to start her power!

*The final product will allow this to be attached in the same way as the name plate. 

This allows you to really grab the second that Tomoyo starts using her power! っε=(。・д・。)

Keep the beautiful girl with an amazing power by your side! ♪

Nendoroid Tomoyo Kanzaki

She’ll be up for order from tomorrow!! ♪
