Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I really love minty flavours. I actually used to hate them, but now I’ll almost always choose them! Sense of taste really does change over time!

Anyway, today I’m going to be continuing to look through some of the photos that everyone has sent me for Autumn!! You can see the previous blogs with more photos over here:

⇒ Kahotan Post Office: September 2015
⇒ Kahotan Post Office: September 2015 – Part 2

The theme this time around was Autumn, and as usual I have not been disappointed by everyone’s amazing submissions! I really got to experience all sorts of different Autumns through everyone’s photographs! A huge thank you to everyone who took part!!  (/ω＼)

As I have already announced over on Twitter, my selection for my Twitter header this time around was this amazing submission by Mokke-san!! ☆

An unexpected collaboration between nature and Nendoroids!!

I’m amazed you managed to capture this photo! I wonder how long you waited for one to stop by for the photo! Shameimaru also seemed to be waiting to take the shot for awhile!! Thank you for the lovely photo!!!

But anyway, let’s move on and take a look at a few more of the photos sent in for the Autumn theme! ★

Let’s get started! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Nice to Meet You in Autumn

Ever since I saw one of my followers taking Miku-san for a walk in Autumn last year, I’ve been waiting to do it myself. This is the first photo I took of my Miku, and one filled with memories.

– Anonymous

Miku-san looks so gentle and innocent looking up at the colorful trees! The Autumn colors can really give a warm feeling to any photo! ♪

Mikasa on Patrol

My budget is very small so I cannot buy a figma Horse yet…however, I still think this horse looks just as good! This was taken in front of my garden hedge in the early evening!!

– Keshineko!!

It looks just like a scene straight out of the anime! The sun shining in the background compared to the shade gives off a nice cool Autumn feeling as well! Lovely! (●´ω｀●)

Walking Through the Leaves in Autumn

Photo taken in Kyoto! The leaves had fallen in such beautiful patterns, so I decided to take a photo of Miku enjoying them!

– mifu

I can just imagine Miku-san piling up all the leaves and then kicking them around again with this expression on her face! The leaves of Autumn are so beautiful!

Working Autumn

為了要去第六場演唱會，小鳥在中秋節仍然要工作，幸好有鼬（？）陪她渡過這個寂寞之秋，做什麼都要安全第一哦大家～（意義不明）

– iwanttogo6live

“Working Autumn”! Not something I would normally associate with Autumn!! This combination of parts from all sorts of Nendoroids makes for a rather unique character! Switching parts around like this is one of the most enjoyable things about Nendoroids! ♪

Outings in Autumn! (*°∀°)=3

Autumn is a very easygoing season to me, so I wanted to take a photo that might inspire others to head outside with their Miku Nendoroid this Autumn!

– OZ

I can just imagine her shouting out, “I’m up here!!” ♡
I for one would love to go out on an Autumn walk with my Miku after seeing this lovely photo!

Autumn Foods. Ah, Autumn~

– syan

A delicious selection of Korean foods all lined up! The smaller dishes make the Nendoroid look bigger than usual! (σ・∀・)σ

I’m pretty sure that Mikazuki has the kind of personality that would be keen to try all sorts of cooking that he doesn’t know well! ♪

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

Sports Day in Autumn!

I took everyone out for a sports day in a park that takes pride in it’s large amount of cosmos flowers! I had actually just received my Nendoroid More: Dress-up Cheerleader parts and decided to try them out on Ranka-chan and Sheryl-san! They enjoyed cheering everyone on!! ♪

Miku: “Mikasa-san!! Here’s the baton!!!”
Mikasa: “That’s… not a baton…”
Sheryl & Ranka: “Come on! You can do it!”

– Tomo

Such a beautiful blue Autumn sky, a colorful background and an exciting sports day! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

“otro dia de campo , sol y bellotas …”

“Other day of sun. open fields and acorns…”

– Vi511

Look at the size of the acorn he holds in his hands! The way the sun is shining down on the path ahead really gives off a sense of adventure!! I always love your photos – they always tell such an amazing story!!

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○

Autumn means festivals!

I had my Halloween Miku help me out with making some Halloween decorations and decided to snap a photo.

– figufigu

So cute!! I don’t have any other words!! It’s such a cute composition!! I hope your preparations were made a little easier with Halloween Miku there to help! ♪

I think I’ll be using this photo by figufigu as my Twitter header from the 26th October until Halloween as a special limited edition header!!! ♡

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

Well, what did you think? I hope you were able to enjoy Autumn as much as I did with these photos!! They were all filled with everyone’s love!!!

A big thanks to all who sent in photos!!

But now it’s time to move onto the next theme for submissions… but it’s still a little early to get Winter photos, so I’m going to have a rather different theme for photos this time around!

The theme is…

The Perfect Date!(・∀・)

I look forward to seeing your photos!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have recovered from my cold from last week! Everyone be sure to watch out for colds as we start to head into the colder months!! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at more lovely photos sent in by you – I received so many possible options for my header that it has been impossible to make a decision on which one to use!! You can find the previous installation of the photo corner here:

⇒　Kahotan Post Office: September 2015

As always, I have received messages from all around the globe all with amazing photos! Every time I look in my mailbox I would see Autumn leaves falling out the sides from all the lovely submissions! Once again a huge thank you to everyone who brightened up my day with their photos!!

As usual I don’t have the time or space to show every single photo sent in to me, but I will be making two blogs – one today and one later this week to cover as many of the photos as I can! The photo I choose for my header will be revealed in the second blog… once I manage to decide which one to use!! ★

Let’s get started!! ♡₍₍ ◝(・ω・)◟ ⁾⁾♡

Autumn is great for outings, so I went out on a date with Miku-san! (` ・ω・´)bキリッ

I can just imagine her calling out to me when I look at this photo! “Where should we go next?” ♥︎ I wish I could dawdle along a road lined with trees with Miku while discussing where we should go next!

Hi ! (^0^)

Autumn and especially October is definitely about Halloween ! That’s why Miku searched and found the legendary Pumpkin with many candies inside. Yum !

The legendary pumpkin of delicious candy!! (๑・﹃ ・｀๑)
The mysterious glow makes for such a lovely atmosphere! ☆

Mountain Climbing in Autumn!

The holidays in Autumn are a great time to practice climbing in preparation for Mt.Fuji! It seems Aoi-chan is amazed at the lovely scenery!

– Nagumon

Nothing suits Aoi-chan more than photos like this one!! It looks like a scene straight from the series!!

Nagumon also sent in another photo that I also wanted to show! ♪

Be-Behind a waterfall?!
A rather rare situation to be in! I’m sure Aoi-chan loved it!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

I actually went to Mount Kirigamine during the holiday! Aoi-chan would be proud!

An Autumn Concert in the Sunlight

The leaves hadn’t quite changed color yet, but I managed to catch a picture of Strawberry White Miku-san performing alone outdoors!

– rihito

She has a rather mysterious look to her! ε=(。・д・。)
I can just think up all sorts of stories with this photo! She must be singing to change the color of the leaves!! ♪

“I really like autumn!!!

I love color of autumn. It ‘s so colorful.”

I also love the unique colors of Autumn!! Those elegant reds and deep green colors make for such a lovely mix, and they match with Mikazuki’s Japanese outfit so nicely!!  (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Don’t forget you can grab your very own Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika as he is currently up for rerelease!

Autumn means it’s time to harvest! Harvest chestnuts!! Miku has popped out of this chestnut – they’re both so sweet!!

– Komugi-sama

An adorable Miku popping out!! (●´ω｀●)
I would love to sit down and enjoy some chestnuts with her!

Autumn in the Secret Garden

“Autumn has arrived in the secret garden! This is the time when the great lion who watches the garden, moves to a warmer place and returns in spring time. Here, he is having his farewell hug by Archbishop-chan~”

It’s a miniature garden made of thanksgiving and autumn plants and decorations inside a light tent. I got inspired from the forest scenes in the Chronicles of Narnia for this.

– Gale XV

A combination of Nendoroids and plushies!! What a lovely original photo – they match up so nicely!! The warm lights and Autumn flowers in the background all come together to make such a great composition!! (´□｀。)

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

So many lovely photos!!

Each and every photo was so filled with love!! I’ll be showing even more later this week as well as revealing my next Twitter header!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Anyway, it’s time to move onto the next theme for submissions… but it’s still a little early to get Winter photos, so I’m going to have a rather different theme for photos this time around!

Planning Team / Kahotan

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve been seeing more snacks with chestnuts and potatoes more recently which means we’ve definitely moved into Autumn! I really love the Autumn Japanese sweets, so I have to grasp the opportunity and enjoy them as much as possible while I can! Delicious!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at everyone’s lovely photos once again! This time I’m looking for a Twitter header for September, so the theme is… Autumn!

I have received a number of lovely Autumn photos from everyone already! (*´Д｀)=з

It’s only just started to really cool down, but some areas definitely already have a very Autumn feel to them! Many of the photos sent in to me proved that!! A big thank you as always to everyone who send in photos! It’s always really hard for me to pick just one to use as my header!!

This time around I have decided to use this photo sent in by fsp+!

Renchon and Gu on an Autumn Walk! ★

There’s no Autumn in Indonesia… I had no idea! Either way, the leafy feeling and gentle light of the Sun make for a lovely scene that definitely has an Autumn feeling to it! I wish I could go on a walk with them… picking up some pretty fallen leaves and acorns, taking all sorts of detours and just walking along with her!! (●´ω｀●)

Anyway, let me take a look at some of the other photos that were sent in as well! Unfortunately I can’t look at all of them, so I’m sorry if your photo didn’t make it to the blog!!

Let’s jump right into Autumn!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Sinon Taking Aim in the Leaves

This is my first time sending in a photo, and there’s a tree in my garden with a lot of dead leaves, so I thought I’d take a photo while the weather was good!

– Keshineko

Sinon taking careful aim while hiding in some dead leaves for camouflage! Her serious expression is wonderful… but my eyes were also drawn to the bit of bare skin showing at her hips!☆

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

Autumn Candies

I thought just about Halloween and mushrooms when I saw the theme (ToT). In France, we sometimes go in the forest to find mushrooms. So, Miku went outside searching for some mushrooms but she gets bored and make a party at home with candies ! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

– Kumarin

– KAI

Going out for an Autumn walk together with their ALL-MATES! I love the way Aoba is looking at the camera, but Noiz is more focused on Aoba! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The angle and the way they are posed also makes it look like they’re holding hands! Don’t forget about Nendoroid Koujaku who is currently up for preorder!!

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

Autumn! Nothing says Autumn more than red and orange leaves! ♪

Lovely Autumn colors with a gentle Akagi smiling! (´□｀。)

Autumn is the time to stock up on tasty food to get through the Winter! Here we have figma Taishi jumping into a tasty looking pizza!

– Komako

This is certainly a very original photo!! The over-exaggerated movement also suits Taishi’s character nicely as well! I think we need to get this food dive photo to start trending – I want to see more!

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

The many colors of Autumn! The lovely colors of the leaves are definitely the first thing that come to mind in Autumn! So bright and cheerful!

I want to go out on an Autumn date together with glasses Homura too!!
I can just imagine the conversations we’d have…!

These two are sure to get along just like Ann and Joe… or maybe not all that well given that Kokorowatari is stuck through the zombie’s head! Perhaps this is the horror version! Either way a lovely photo!! ★

I always imagined Mikuzukin in an autumn-like setting. So even when the leaves didn’t turn when I shot this, I had to make my scene look like fall. She might not be facing the camera, but this is one of those figures that looks gorgeous especially from behind.

– Ken

I’ve also always associated Max Factory’s Mikuzukin with Autumn! It must be the connection with Little Red Riding Hood! The figure definitely does have so much potential from behind…!

Autumn in Kyoto with the Miku Sisters! The differences in height make them look like a big and little sisters!

– Luka

Now that you mentioned it, I can only think of the two of them as big and little sisters!! It’s so cute!! (´□｀。) Thinking of all the lit-up temples of Tokyo during Autumn take me back to my college years I spent in Kyoto!!

Demon King’s Autumn

An elegant walk down some fallen leaves, while gently lifting her dress up! ??? ?(・ω・)? ???
Such a lovely balance of colors creates a very relaxing photograph!

I went with the simple choice and went with an Autumn Leaves theme! I’m not a great photographer, but I poured my passion for figures into it!! I hope you enjoy it!

– Toufu

A two shot of master and butler in a Japanese-looking setting! I wonder what the two of them are talking about while looking at the lovely Autumn colors!

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

Autumn has come!!

I hope everyone enjoyed the photos as much as I did! Each and every photo had it’s own special charm!! A big thank you to everyone who sent in photos!! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

Anyway, I’m sure there are a couple of people who are thinking I had the post office blog way too early in the month and there wasn’t enough time to send in Autumn photos yet! Worry not, I’m still looking for Autumn photos, as I will be picking another one for October’s header image! So on that note, the theme continues as…

Autumn ***! (・∀・)

I look forward to seeing your photos!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The 25th of every month is pudding day! You can’t not eat pudding on pudding day!! I prefer my pudding to be set well rather than too sloppy!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at some more of the photos that were sent in to me for my…

August 2015 Twitter Header Image!!

You can find the previous part over here:
⇒ Kahotan Post Office: August 2015 – Part 1

The theme for July and August was ‘Summer‘! ☆ 

As usual a rather simple and very open topic, but I got all the photos I was hoping for! Everyone was able to portray the Summer through their figures so perfectly!! ♥︎

A big thank you to everyone who send in their entries!! Unfortunately I can’t feature every single photo that was sent in due to lack of time and space, but I promise I enjoyed looking though each and every one of your photos!

The first thing that came to my mind for ‘Summer’ was a camp and barbecue with friends! ^^

Sheryl: “Ah~♪”
Ranka: “Yummy! Kira! ☆”
Hozuki: “…”
Mikasa: “I brought watermelon, ice-cream and snacks!”
Miku: “Leeeeeeeeeeek!!!!”

Going out to get together like this makes for a fun Summer! ♪

– Tomo

Tomo was the photographer of the adorable Sheryl and Ranka from last time around! Back again this time capturing a very exciting looking barbecue! There are so many things to see!! (*´Д｀)=з

Plus there was even one more photo from Tama that I want to feature!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆

One character that fits perfectly with the Bon Lantern Festival is Hozuki!! He looks so lovely even in Nendoroid form that no matter what photos I take of him they always come out looking amazing! This one was one of my favorites to take! ♪ The lights around him make use of actual dried ‘hozuki’ (Winter cherries). 

– Tomo

The gentle light surrounding him in this photo makes for such an amazing, mysterious atmosphere!! The hand-made lights really add to the effect too!!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆

let’s take a break and have fun at the beach!

Honoka, Kotori and Nico chan are waiting for you to jump in…

Such a smart idea to remove the bottom of the bodies to make it look like the girls are in water!! I would never have thought of this!! I might steal it for myself sometime though! ☆

Deep Sea Miku-san! The darker tones of the photo really bring out a ‘Deep Sea atmosphere as well! The use of shadows is also really nice… I wish I could see more!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆

The warmth and cheer of Summer,
The charm and cuteness of figures…

These photos were all so different and yet all captured Summer for me in figure form!!

Thanks once again to everyone who took part!! (・∀・)

Seeing my inbox filled with so many responses from not only Japan but all over the world always makes even the toughest of days a little easier on me!!

But now it’s time for a new theme!!

I’m now looking for header photos for September/October 2015!!

The theme is… 

Autumn ***! (・∀・)

I look forward to seeing your photos!

Today, Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika is being shipped out from GSC, so I’m hoping for some Mikazuki Autumn Photos!!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The top drawer of my desk is an emergency stock of snacks that seems to be getting bigger everyday… even though I know I shouldn’t I sometimes can’t stop myself from taking some out though! *nomnom*

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at some of the photos that were sent in to me for my…

August 2015 Twitter Header Image!!

The theme this time around is ‘Summer‘!

As usual I have received an amazing number of entries which have all been a pleasure to look though!! It was amazing how people managed to capture Summer in so many different ways – many of which were even taken indoors and still definitely had a Summer charm to them!  Just looking though them made me feel like I was on Summer Holiday!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

A big thank you to everyone who sent in photos this time around! It was, as usual, very difficult to select just one to use as my header image, but as some of you may have already seen on Twitter I have selected this photo by IKKI.F as my header for this month!!

An evening stroll with yukata Miku-san!!  (●´ω｀●)

The warm lighting and the way she is slightly covering her face as if a little embarrassed is so lovely! The kitty on the road is also a lovely little touch! The photo as a whole really captures the spirit of a ‘Japanese Summer’ so nicely! I wish I could have had a Summer date like this!!

As usual, I received all sorts of photos from around the world, so thank you to everyone who send in a picture or message! I unfortunately can’t show everything on the blog, but I will showing as many as possible by splitting the August messages into two parts – this being the first! The next part will come later!

Anyway, let’s take a look at some more lovely photos! (σ・∀・)σ

A girls get-together on the beach! I can just hear their playful voices coming from the photo!! The ability to combine the characters from different series together is one of the most enjoyable things about Nendoroids! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*

I took Ms. Snow Miku to the swimming pool even though her kimono doesn’t really fit the environment. But she looks like she’s enjoying it anyway.

– Nisha

Strawberry White Kimono Miku enjoying dipping her feet by the water side! I wonder what is on her mind as she looks up into the sky like that!

Have some watermelon!

Many people associate the beach with Summer before anything else, but I think rivers and creeks are also great for Summer photos!

–  Nagemon

The shade of the trees and the watermelon make for such a refreshing looking photo, and the beautiful girls just make is even more of a pleasure to look at! I would love to have some watermelon together with them!! ♪

School swimsuits suited these two from Kodomo no Jikan so perfectly that I had to take a photo! ♪

School had entered Summer holidays, but I came by to swim and took some photos! I wanted to include Mimi-chan as well, but the swimsuit parts don’t quite match up with her bust size very well… so I decided to leave it at these two! ^^;

– Mikumikuron

The swimsuits… really do suit them perfectly!! I couldn’t believe how cute they were when I first saw this photo!!

Summer outing in Singapore with Sinon

Took this at Marina Barrage,it’s pretty hot in Singapore but it’s windy too, Sinon seems to enjoy the weather. Wanna join along?

– Bangtheroses

Having a figure photo with real people in the background really closes the gap between man and figure! figma are great for photos with their high possibility – Sinon really looks like she is being hit by the wind!! ヽ(゜◇゜ )ノ

☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*

I wasn’t able to get her at WonFes, but by Snow Miku finally arrived in July!

The seasons don’t quite match up with a field of sunflowers in the background, but seen she herself has a lot of flowery accessories I think she still fits in nicely!

–  Roze

This Miku-san really looks lovely with plants – just as you’d expect from a fairy!! Her translucent twin-tails shine rather beautifully in the Summer sun! ♥︎

☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*ﾟ ゜ﾟ*☆*

Menma in Paradise

Summer means hitting the beach, enjoying the sea and most importantly the scenery! Photo is taken during sunrise at a Jetty to Jerejak Island, on Penang Island, Malaysia.

– EXkurogane

The shining sky and sea! Menma stands on the beach on in the Summer and somehow kind of looks to be life-sized! The blue colors throughout the photo really create a lovely atmosphere as well!

She ordered some chocolate donuts and cakes, and brought some Nendoroids and other stuff.. 🙂

So many lovely photos that really capture the combination of Figures and Summer!! I hope everyone enjoyed them as much as I did!  Thank you again to everyone who sent in photos – I always have such a good day after looking through them all…

But now it’s time for a new theme!!

I’m now looking for header photos for September/October 2015!!

Hello everyone! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The weather really is jumping between extremes at the moment! From really hot to rather chilly like today! I hope everyone is taking good care of their heath! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

Anyway, today I’m  going to be continuing on from last week’s post with Kahotan Post Office! You can find the previous post here: Kahotan Post Office: July 2015 – Part 1.

First and foremost, let me once again give a big thank you to everyone who send in photos! They really are always such a pleasure to look through! The theme this time around was Summer, and I recieved all sorts of different ways of showing Summer through photos! Some people have such amazing imaginations!! (/ω＼)

There were so many lovely photos that picking one to use as my Twitter header was rather hard….

However I have decided to use this photo by Tomo-san!☆

I’ve been waiting for a Summer like this! ♡

A lovely photo of the two Macross F songstresses in summertime mode! I can almost hear Ranka-chan’s voice shouting in excitement! I will enjoy it every time I open up my Twitter, and I’m sure many others will as well! ♪

Anyway, let’s take a look at a few more of the Summer photos sent in to me!

Many things are linked with Summer… but this is one photo you often see in a Summer album.

It is! Whenever you have sand you have to bury someone in it! That’s the rule!! The choice of expression is what really makes this photo lovely! I hope you two enjoyed your Summer beach time! ♪

My second time to go to Japan and I went to Osaka and Kyoto. I brought with me my favorite figures: Shoyo, Mako and Mayoi to do some photoshoots 🙂

– Randy James

I’m guessing this one was taken in Kyoto! Mayoi-chan’s pose and the lovely gaps of sunlight between the leaves make for a lovely scene!

I also received another photo from Randy James-san that I just had to share! A picture from a certain scene from Universal…!

It’s like the two of them are classmates on a school trip taking a quick photo! They look like they’re having so much fun! I want to go out and try take some similar photos!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

If this was taken back in May, then it really is a super early Summer photo! As expected of Zegamashi-chan! [灬╹ω╹灬]

The real things like the driftwood and shells add a strange kind of reality to the Nendoroid! ♪

Hakase and Sakamoto-san are trying to hide away from the early Summer heat by taking cover under the hydrangeas… it seems Nendoroids are just like people when it comes to trying to avoid the heat.

– Luka-san

This size of the flowers compared to the Nendoroid makes the two of them look like little garden fairies trying to find some shade! So cute! ♥︎

You could easily transform this photo into a nice image for a calendar!

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆*:..｡o○☆

I hope everyone enjoyed the Summer figure photos as much as I have!

Summer definitely opens up the playing field as a theme – there are so many different possibilities! Another big thank you to everyone who sent in their photos this time around!  But I’m still looking for more! Now that the main hurdle of Summer is about here, there should be all sorts of opportunities for photos!

The theme remains as

Summer! (・∀・)

I look forward to seeing your Summer photos!

Finally a quick notice!

From tomorrow the 7th July, preorders for this item will open!

Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 43: Hero’s Edition + Ultron Sentries Set

Ooooooohhh!! (/ω＼)

Look at the amazing diorama base featuring Ultron sentries! Plus the differences in color of this armor compared to the Mk.42… more of a focus on the reds, has been faithfully altered!

Be sure to check the GSC site for more details tomorrow!!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today is the 3rd of July! In Japan this is soft serve day, as it is the date that soft serve was first sold in Japan back in 1951! I want to have some Cremia soft serve… super creamy with a langue de chat cone. It’s so delicious!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at photos sent in to the July/August theme of Kahotan Post Office!

The theme is ‘Summer‘!!

It’s getting more hot and humid by the day, which makes me constantly wish Summer would go away… but that’s exactly why I need everyone’s photos to remind me that Summer is’t that bad!

As usual, I received all sorts of photos from around the world, so thank you to everyone who send in a picture or message! I unfortunately can’t show everything on the blog, but I will showing as many as possible by splitting the July messages into two parts – this being the first! The next part will come next week sometime!

Anyway, let’s get started! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Summer means sand dunes and the blue sea!! I just got back from a 200km trip down to the ocean! It was over 40 degrees and my camera was having some issues so I didn’t get to take many photos… but Vietnam’s Summer is set to continue for quite some time, so I’m sure I’ll get some more Summer photos soon!

The selection of the scene, use of extra little accessories and backgrounds… I can really see the love for the figures that everyone sends in! っε=(｡・д・｡)

Thanks again to everyone!

I will be revealing the photo I choose to use for my header next week!

Anyway! I’m still looking for more photos!

The theme is…

‘Summer’! (・∀・)

I look forward to seeing your Summer photos!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I had a health check-up…
Don’t tell anyone but I might have cried a little when they took some blood…

Anyway, today I’m going to be continuing with Kahotan Post Office!! You can find the last post in the series over here!

　⇒　Kahotan Post Office: May/June 2015 – Part 3

As always, let me start off by saying thank you to everyone who sent through photos! There were photos ranging from cute to cool and all of them were filled with their own unique charm and love! I really struggled to select a picture for my header!

However, after much deliberation, I have decided! As those of you watching my Twitter will already know, this was the photo I chose for my header! A big thanks to Mio-san for sending it in!

The two boys are in relax mode!! ♪

Max Factory’s figma series can really be posed in so many different ways! You even managed to capture their personalities in the way they’re lying down!! (・∀・)

My reason for choosing this photo in the end is that it’s not the kind of pose you would see female figures in much, and seen the theme was ‘Male Figures’ I figured it was the most appropriate for the theme! Before Summer gets too hot I want to go lie in the sunlight beside them…!  

Anyway, let’s take a look at some of the other photos that were sent in! っ(｀・ω・´)

Aoba looking lovely surrounded by a collection of beautiful flowers! The Japanese umbrella matches with the 2014 DRAMAtical Murder Spring  folding screen in the background! (●´ω｀●)

I haven’t had the time to take any new photos lately, so i’m sending this photo that i took in January which shows Armin, Eren, and Levi modelling fall/winter wear.

– Azh

Looks like the Attack on Titan boys are ready for the Winter! Nendoroid Armin’s cape is Heichous…. and the hat belongs to Nendoroid Alice Kuonji! I always love seeing boys in scarves! ♡

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I try to make the scene when Onoda climbing in interhigh, just like the manga.

 – Pshyga

I really looks exactly like panel straight out of the manga! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ!
I think I can actually hear Sakamichi-kun’s breath looking at this photo!

This month the movie ‘Yowamushi Pedal Re:ROAD’ starts, and in August there is an original long film on the way! I can’t wait!

He is so cute and I’m a huge Haikyuu!! fan, so when I saw GSC was working on him I was super excited. Now I’m waiting for Kageyama to join him too!  The set is supposed to be the high school festival, but I’ll definitely include more furniture next time （Ｕ・ω・）

–  Yuki

Karasuno High’s Festival captured in Nendoroid size! ♪ How could anyone not be pulled to join the Volleyball Club with a smile like that waiting!! Hope you enjoy posing Kageyama together with him!! (/ω＼)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

I really love Nendography, arranging and photograph them so they looks alive is a joy to me
Here is my 2 favorite Nendoroids working together in a mission

–  Vince454

I don’t think anyone could best these two together!! Isn’t it fun to be able to break the line between series like this with figures!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

You can use Nendoroids to make a kind of ‘Avengers’-like team from various different series!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

So many photos filled with love!!

I hope everyone enjoyed them as much as I did!

The theme being ‘Male Figures‘ did limit the amount of possible figures quite a lot! Male figures might be increasing, but they are definitely still the minority! Even so, I received a huge number of photos and got a good feel for just how much many people do love them! I’m sure we’ll be bringing you many more male figures in the near future!!  (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Thanks again to everyone who sent in photos!
However… it is now time to change the theme to the July/August theme!

The next theme is…

‘Summer’! (・∀・)

I look forward to seeing your Summer photos!

Planning Team / Kahotan

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today is the Port of Yokohama’s 34th anniversary!
I live in Yokohama which means there will be fireworks tonight!

More Details: Port of Yokohama’s 34th Anniversary Celebration.

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at more of the lovely photos sent in to Kahotan Post Office!! Thanks to everyone for all the possible header photos! You can find the previous entries in the May/June 2015 theme over here:

⇒ Kahotan Post Office: May/June 2015 – Part 1
⇒ Kahotan Post Office: May/June 2015 – Part 2

The theme this time around is..

Male Figures!!

I’ve looked at each and every photo that has been sent in, and have loved all of them! This time around there were a lot of people that send in photos for the first time, which I am always happy to see! (/ω＼)

A big thanks to everyone who sent in photos!

I am going to be splitting my June selections into two posts, one today and another later this week! I hope everyone enjoys the photos as much as did!  ♪

As usual, I unfortunately can’t include all the photos sent in, but I did enjoy all of them! I’m sorry if your photo is not placed on the blog! 

Let’s get started! (●´ω｀●)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

It’s my favourite photo because I think its so fun if Sebastian become one hell of Survey Corps.. I’m sure he’ll able to help Levi heichou cleaning..

– IchigoTsuki

Sebastian and Heichou would probably get along really well seen they are both obsessed with keeping things clean! I’m sure anyone listening on in the conversation would not find it overly interesting, but the two of them are sure to have some very heated discussions about keeping things clean!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

A nice place for a summer retreat… castles are nice and cool! (｀・∀・´) Taishi is enjoying the coolth! 

– Komako

He definitely seems very relaxed! I can’t help but think of his humming when I see this photo! The relaxing Japanese scenery together with the laid-back pose go very well together!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

A photo capturing Snake having one last cigarette before going out to work. Men speak with their backs! 

– Matsu

This back definitely has a story to tell! The effects of the smoke and cigarette are really nicely done! It’s rare to see a Nendoroid in such an serious, cool pose like this one! (´□｀｡)

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

The theme was male figures, so I decided to head out on a sunny day with my Aoba for some photos! Matching a photo to the height of a Nendoroid makes for a very low angle that isn’t really easy to take… I look forward to a bit more practice!

 – Rinpa

What perfect weather for a walk! I want to go with next time!!  Taking a photo from this angle really makes the Nendoroid look more lifelike! I think you did a great job!

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

A male figure theme seemed like fun, so I had a try at making some male Nendoroids look cute! They are the ‘Sweetie Boys’? I want to east some sweets with them! (*´꒳`*)

– shiro

It looks like a scene out of a fairy tale! Combining candy and Nendoroids is cute x cute – double the charm! Make sure you invite me to the tea party! ♡

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

Hello from America!  I really love the Hermitaurs in Monster Hunter, but I always feel so bad when I have to hurt one!  My pet crab was a good sport though and posed for these intense hunting pictures!

– Pancake

A photo that captures the Monster Hunter universe perfectly!!
I think I want to see more Nendoroid photos featuring your pet crab! He’s so cute! ★

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

KAITO: “This time between Spring and Summer always has so many hot days… nothing is better than some ice cream!”

Levi: “… not bad.”

– Mantsuki

I had the conversation play through my brain with the correct voices and all! Figures allow you to surpass the boundaries of series and get two characters like this enjoying a conversation! 

*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

Well everyone, did you enjoy the photos?

All the photos were so filled with love! It was so difficult to pick which ones to put on the blog, let alone which one to use as my Twitter header image!

Thanks again for all the photos!

I’ll be showing the photo I selected for my header in the next part coming later this week! I’ll also be announcing the theme for July/August 2015!

I hope for more photos soon!! (・∀・)
