Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku &

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

These two were both announced for preorder together today!!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku!

From the popular volleyball manga series with an equally popular anime, ‘Haikyu!!’, comes a Nendoroid of one of Nekoma High School Volleyball Club’s liberos known as the “Defense Commander”, Morisuke Yaku! He comes with three face plates including a reliable standard face, a serious expression as well as a concerned smile based on when he was talking about his juniors with Karasuno High School’s Sugawara.

The Nendoroid allows you to recreate a number of memorable scenes from the series and also comes with a volleyball as well as a special base made in the image of a volleyball court. Be sure to display him in all sorts of poses together with the rest of his team!

“It’s a huge thing to play as a libero for a team know as ‘Defensive Nekoma’.”

The reliable libero for Team Nekoma, with his short eyebrows and short hair! His iconic uniform has also been faithfully converted to Nendoroid size! You can easily pose him defending for the team and showing off his receiving skills! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

Along with the standard smiling face plate above, he comes with these two alternate options! (｀・ω・´)

◆ Serious Face ◆

Using the long stands included with the Nendoroid you can easily create dynamic attack scenes like this!

◆ Concerned Smile ◆

As he is always worried about the rest of the younger members in his team, this allows you to display him looking a little concerned, but still with a smile on his face. (・∀・;)

Orders of Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Morisuke Yaku – Nekoma’s Reliable Libero ver. as a bonus!

Nendoroid Lev Haiba!

From the popular volleyball manga series with an equally popular anime, ‘Haikyu!!’, comes a Nendoroid of one of Nekoma High School Volleyball Club’s middle blockers and the self-declared ace for the team, Lev Haiba! He comes with three face places including a standard expression filled with confidence, a smiling face as well as the worried expression he had during special training.

Optional parts include a volleyball and a special base made in the image of a volleyball court, as well as an arm part swinging down like a whip allowing for all sorts of poses on the court, and he also comes with his favorite food, inari sushi! All sorts of parts to display the confident Lev by your side in all sorts of different situations!

“So if we beat them, we’ll be the best in Japan?!”

His neat and tidy silver hair, lovely green eyes and confident look have all been kept in Nendoroid form! Just like Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima he is a little bit taller than other Nendoroids. He also comes with a special translucent part to recreate his “whip-like” spike! ♥

▲ Too fast to even see the power in his spike!

Along with his standard face, he also comes with these two face plates…

◆ Smiling Face ◆

A lovely smile perfect for when he has his favorite food, which is also included with the Nendoroid! A plate with three inari sushi as well as some chopsticks! The very top inari sushi can also be removed and placed elsewhere! ♫

It can even be used on the hand that normally holds the volleyball to display him holding it with his hand!

▲ Passing one over to Yaku by hand?!

◆ Worried Expression ◆

Lev is known as the self-proclaimed ace of his team, but in actual fact there are quite a lot of basic skills he may be a little lacking on. He includes this rather worried expression for when things don’t quite go as expected! (/ω＼)

Orders of Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Lev Haiba – Nekoma’s Ace? Ver. as a bonus!

Nendoroid Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Conan Edogawa!

From the popular anime series “Detective Conan” comes a Nendoroid of the main character, Conan Edogawa! He comes with three face plates including a confident standard expression, a serious expression for when he is closing in on the criminal as well as a dumbfounded expression for when those around him can’t quite keep up. The Nendoroid comes complete with his turbo engine skateboard and voice-changing bowtie to allow fans to display him solving all sorts of cases!

“Only one truth prevails!”

From the series that has continued for many years and accumulated fans of all ages, “Detective Conan” comes a Nendoroid of the detective with the body of a child but the brain of an adult – Conan Edogawa!

Conan-kun’s iconic hairstyle, classic blue outfit and glasses have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

▲ The little bit of hair sticking out at his neck is also included!

By the way, his glasses can also be removed for a different appearance! ☆

▲ You can enjoy this rather rare look whenever you like with the Nendoroid!♪

Of course the Nendoroid also comes with a selection of his detective tools, including the classic voice-changing bowtie! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Along with the standard version on his outfit, a slightly larger version is also included allowing you to display him holding and making use of the device! He also comes with bent leg parts to display him kneeling down as he hides to reveal his theory with someone else’s voice! (/・ω＼)

He comes with a total of three face plates, the first of which is the standard expression above, and the second is of course…

“Only one truth prevails!“

A serious expression to capture his famous line as he points out the truth!!! The sharp looking gaze matches up with his pointing hand and shouting mouth to easily display him as if he was pointing out the criminal!ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

He also comes with his turbo engine skateboard which he can even ride! Together with this expression it makes it look like Conan is chasing after the criminal!

▲ The theme song for the series played through my head while watching this!

Also take note of his right leg here! (∩・∀・)∩

A special bent leg part is included in order to display him putting force into riding the skateboard as fast of possible! ♪

In other words, even in Nendoroid size you can enjoy a cool action pose as Conan dashes off on his turbo engine skateboard!

Moving onto his third face plate…

A dumbfounded expression!

The perfect expression to show Conan’s personality when those around him can’t quite keep up! This expression will make it so easy to create all sorts of stories in figure form!!

The expression also works well with the voice-changing bowtie!

▲ I’m fairly certain I’ve seen this scene in the anime many times! ♡

I was actually the head planner for this Nendoroid, and as it was a figure from a series that I have been enjoying ever since primary school it felt very special to work on it!! I hope everyone enjoys him in their collection as much as I enjoyed working on him!!

Nendoroid Conan Edogawa!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company website for details! Please do note however that the product will not be available in all regions due to licensing issues.

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

WonFes is just around the corner and the office is really starting to bustle with excitement as everyone gets ready for the big day!

But along with the preparations various products are also being announced, including today’s main feature that is up for preorder from today…

Nendoroid Cocoa!

Is the order two Nendoroids?

“Just leave it to your big sister!”

From the popular anime series that will make anyone feel all warm and happy inside, Is the Order a Rabbit?? comes an adorable Nendoroid of Cocoa!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

The cute flower in her hair, those lovely purple eyes and the overall relaxed feeling of her character design have been incorporated on the Nendoroid so perfectly! We are also rereleasing Nendoroid Chino for all those who missed out on her! ♥

▲ Posing them together brings out the atmosphere of the series!

She comes with three face plates including the smile above, as well as…

“Woof! Woof! ♪”

A smiling face with closed eyes!

She also comes with doggy ears! The ears have a transparent sheet that slips in-between the hair parts to easily connect them!

▲ A tail is also included to complete doggy mode! (´□｀｡)

The tail parts come as you can see here, with the transparent ring going around the connecting point of the waist to easily connect the tail!

In addition to these parts she also comes with another part that suits the closed-eyes face plate perfectly…

The fluffy Angora rabbit from the café, Tippy!

The sculpt even features uneven parts to recreate that adorable soft and fluffy looking appearance! She may seem to have quite a pained expression, and the reason for that…

Is that she is being hugged tightly by Cocoa!!

These special hands to display her holding Tippy are also included allowing you to recreate even more scenes from the series! *｡(●´Д｀人´Д｀●)｡* ﾟ

Moving on to her third face plate…

“Just leave it to your big sister! ☆”

An expression beaming with confidence! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

She also comes with her camera, which can be used together with this expression to display her trying her best to capture the cuteness of China-chan on film! ♥

Nendoroid Yuri Plisetsky!

From the anime series “YURI!!! on ICE” comes a Nendoroid of the “Russian Fairy”, Yuri Plisetsky! He comes with three face plates including a standard sullen face, the agape face he showed during the short program as well as an excited expression.

You can pose him in all sorts of scenes in the rink, and he also comes with a cat ear Alice band and a katsudon pirozhki allowing for more everyday scenes as well. Be sure to add the Ice Tiger of Russia to your collection and enjoy all sorts of different situations in cute Nendoroid size!

“There are no gold medals for pigs to feed on!!”

From the popular anime series that has a movie in the works, “YURI!!! on ICE” comes a Nendoroid of the Russian Fairy, Yuri Plisetsky!! The previous Nendoroids from the series so far can be found below! (´□｀｡)

◆ Nendoroid Yuri Katsuki
◆ Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov
◆ Nendoroid Yuri Katsuki: Free Skating Ver.

His iconic outfit has also been adorably shrunk down to Nendoroid size, the the lovely flow of his hair also looks lovely! ★

▲ The design of his outfit from the back is also nice and detailed! (*´ω｀*)

Along with his standard grumpy looking expression, he also comes with two alternate face plates!

First up we have his “Agape Face”! (ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

This expression is based on his sublime performance during the “On Love: Agape” short programme!

This is why he is known as the Russian fairy!

Just like the previous Nendoroids from the series, he also comes with a selection of alternate hand parts to place him in various skating poses and more!

▲ Of course that also means you can create various original scenes as well!

Moving on to his third face plate…

An excited expression!

Yuri is known for his cool and composed attitude, but the fact that he sometimes comes out with expressions like this more suited to his age is just one of the cute things about him! (*´꒳`*)

Plus in his hands he holds a pirozhki! The detail on it is rather amazing, and if you look on the inside…

Katsudon!!!

In other words, he comes complete with a katsudon pirozhki! (∩・∀・)∩

Be sure to recreate all sorts of fun scenes in Nendoroid size! ♡

As a side note, Nendoroid Yuri Katsuki is shipping out from the 25th July!

▲ He’ll be arriving at fan’s homes soon! ♪

I went looking for a figure that might be suited to displaying with Yuri’s excited expression and decided that this was quite perfect!☆

▲ figma Serval currently up for preorder! ♫

I’m sure of the two of them met they would have some great times together as friends! But let’s get back to some more of the optional accessories included with Yuri… ٩( ᐛ )و

He comes with his cat ear Alice band!

No string is included, but if you use some you can recreate the scene above like so! I couldn’t help myself from wanting to create that scene, so I ended up making a gif animation out of it! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

▲It matches with the pouty look of this face so nicely!!

Be sure to add the Ice Tiger of Russia to your collection!
Nendoroid Yuri Plisetsky!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

More details will be available on the Good Smile Company Website and ORANGE ROUGE website tomorrow!

Be sure to consider it when prordering! ♪

We also have another befitting item up for preorder tomorrow…
Dioramansion 150: Skating Rink

Displaying figures with a special display often makes a collection look more appealing, but at the same time preparing a special display case is a huge amount of effort. We heard the cries for an easier display option and created this Dioramansion series of display backgrounds! They are simple to use and can be used as a photography kit or simply as a complete display background!

There are various different ways to connect the plates together allowing you to easily create your own customized display space for your figures! These new additions to the Dioramansion series are 150mm x 150mm in size which works great with Nendoroid figures!

Nendoroid Uguisumaru (Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-)

Hello everyone! Long time no see! Chan-shuu from Good Smile Company’s planning team here! (@gscs_hirase)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this item currently up for preorder…
Nendoroid Uguisumaru!

From the popular browser and smartphone game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the Bizen sword, Uguisumaru! He comes with three face plates including a standard face, a combat face as well as a smiling expression based on his “sometimes it’s good to take it easy” line from the game.

His sword can be displayed both sheathed or drawn allowing you to recreate various scenes from the game, and he also comes with parts that were seen in the 1st anniversary celebration illustration. Be sure to add him to your collection!

“Okanehira thinks too much of the ‘Five Great Swords’ title.”

A Nendoroid of the the Bizen sword, Uguisumaru and the 19th Nendoroid to join the Touken Ranbu series!! We’re almost at the big number 20!

▼ First up, a look at his hair!

You may notice that the hair over his right eye actually makes use of slightly translucent parts! It’s a little hard to see in the light, but if we darken the room and shine a light on him…

You can see the bottom of the hair has a slightly see-through look to it and you can just make out the skin color beneath the hair! This is in order to capture the original illustration as faithfully as possible!

▼ Next a look at his outfit!

The green bracer and mostly black outfit give him a very stylish look! The white belt also creates a lovely contrast! The crest on his chest is rather tiny but still has such amazing detail!

▼A look from the back!

Uguisumaru’s iconic spiky hair looks great from the back as well, with each of the tufts of hair carefully sculpted and positioned! This was actually one of the most difficult parts to get right on the Nendoroid! (´∀｀；)

▼ Also note his sword!

The sword is sheathed on his hips and includes semi-glossy gold parts which add a nice touch to the black and matches with his outfit nicely! ♪

▼ Switch to a Combat Pose!

He comes with a combat expression with clenched teeth and a sharp gaze, and he can also be posed with his sword drawn and held in his left hand! ♪

▼ Combat Pose #2

Here I attempted to pose him in the moment before he switches from single-handed to two-handed wielding! From this angle you can see that his right eye is actually closed for this expression! Even though it is covered by his hair the entire expression is always faithfully included! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

▼ His third face plate!

▲ “Sometimes It’s Good To Take It Easy“

The Nendoroid even comes with a tray including tea and some Japanese-style snacks! This pose is based on an the 1st anniversary celebration illustration!!

▼Plus, as usual…

▲A round base featuring his emblem!

This is the same as all the previous Touken Ranbu Nendoroids, making them look great when displayed together!

Nendoroid Uguisumaru is currently up for preorder!

PRODUCT DETAILS: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/6562/

In addition, preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include this bonus!

▲Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Uguisumaru
“Sometimes It’s Good To Take It Easy” Ver.╭( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

Plus, we have also made a Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag (Uguisumaru Ver.) which can be purchased together with him!

Nendoroid Alphonse Elric (FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST)

Today’s Main Feature!!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the younger of the Elric brothers…
Nendoroid Alphonse Elric!

From the popular “FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST” series comes a Nendoroid of the kind-hearted Alphonse Elric! The metallic appearance of the suit of armor that harbours his soul has been carefully sculpted and fitted with joints for all sorts of different display possibilities. Al comes with three different face plates including a standard face plate with articulated eyes that can look in different directions, as well as both flustered and relaxed chibi-style expressions.

As he is also known as a cat-lover, the Nendoroid comes complete with two different cats to display around him, and the chest plate of his armor can also be removed to display the cat laying inside his armor! Be sure to display him with the previously announced Nendoroid Edward Elric and enjoy the company of the Elric brothers in your collection!

“Brother!”

From FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST comes a Nendoroid of Edward Elrics younger brother, the “Armored Alchemist” Alphonse Elric! The heavy looking metallic body has been preserved perfectly, and has been painted with a slightly blue tint based on the coloring from the anime series! ♪

At first glance it may not really look like a Nendoroid, but the figure makes use of numerous Nendoroid joints and of course a Nendoroid stand… and is therefore a Nendoroid!! The parts of the figure are much larger than a standard Nendoroid making the arms and legs so fun and easy to move around!

The eyes are articulated from the inside of the head allowing you to change the direction he is looking in! ε=(｡・д・｡)

In addition, the head parts are swapped out by completely removing the head, which also of course means you can pose him with no head whatsoever!

Note that the Blood Sigil drawn at the back is also included!!

Even though this part is normally covered up with the head parts, it was an important enough aspect to the story to ensure it was included on the Nendoroid!!

Anyway, let’s take a look at his other head parts! Along with the standard expression seen above, he also comes with a flustered chibi expression for when his brother is shouting at him!!

As well as a relaxed chibi expression for when he is surrounded by his beloved kitties!! (灬ºｗº灬)

▲ The leg joints have a wide range allowing him to be seated like this!

The two adorable kitties are also included to display beside him! ♪

They are so adorable!!! Just look at those cute little faces!!!!

Plus…

You can even pose a cat inside his armor!!

The above photo just captures Al so perfectly!! The front plate of the armor can be removed and have a cat or anything else placed inside for a rather interesting display option! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

The Nendoroid also stands 12cm in height making it slightly larger than most standard Nendoroids to bring out the huge suit of armor appearance even more effectively!

▲ Displayed together with his brother! Ed is still up for preorder!

The number of fun posing ideas between these two is probably endless, but here is a little animated gif I made showing the two of them trying to high five! ☆

Al all by himself is already an absolutely incredible Nendoroid, but posing him together with his older brother really brings out the atmosphere of the series and allows you to recreate even more scenes from the series… as well as all sorts of original scenes! (ﾉ｡･ω･)人(･ω･｡)ﾉ

Be sure to add the gentle armored giant to your collection!
Nendoroid Alphonse Elric!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

In addition, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Suitcase (Including Holding Hand for Edward) as a bonus!! ★

Be sure to consider it when preordering!

▲ Designed for use with Nendoroid Edward! (sold separately)

As I mentioned above, Nendoroid Edward Elric is still up for preorder!!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Shiro and Nendoroid Jibril (No Game No Life)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve always has a bit of a secret interest in chess. I wish I could get the change to say “checkmate” one day…

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a a look at…
The 1/8th Scale Shiro! ☆

From the anime series “No Game No Life” comes a 1/8th scale figure of the younger of the ‘Blank’ gamer siblings – Shiro! She has been sculpted holding a playing card in one hand and chess pieces in the other with a playful smile on her face that shows she is not worried about the competition.

Each and every strand of her hair has been carefully sculpted and painted with a brilliant gradient seen in the original illustration to capture her iconic appearance in figure form. The playing cards and chess pieces all around her are all a part of the figure and base, and the base itself is patterned like a chessboard to fully bring out the No Game No Life atmosphere! Be sure to add the peerless gamer to your collection and enjoy her company whenever you please!

“Omega good job!”

From the “No Game No Life” film that starts in Japan this weekend comes a scale figure of Shiro! The transparent, flowing image of the original illustration has been captured…

in beautiful…

intricate…

…amazing detail!!

▲ The little sticking out tongue is so cute!!

Each and every strand of her hair has been sculpted in such detail!

Not to mention the way the colors differ depending on the angle you look from!

The appearance of the gradient has been carefully calculated from each angle…

To faithfully preserve the beautiful colors of her hair no matter what angle you look from! (｀；ω；´)

The figure has been sculpted by Good Smile Company’s Kataharaitashi! The same sculptor who has worked on various Nendoroids such as Nendoroid Elsa, as well as scale figures such as Nico Yazawa: Picnic Girl!

All the figures have the feeling of “motion” captured so beautifully!

The paintwork was by Good Smile Company’s Ekoshi! ♡

Some examples of past work include Hatsune Miku V4X as well as various work on the LoveLive! Nendoroid series and much more!

Working with colors to bring a sculpt to life is not an easy task, but all the figure by Ekoshi have such a lively, beautiful feeling about them!!

Anyway, let’s get back to Shiro! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

▲ Look at the creases in her skirt and shiny look of her socks! ♪

The cards all floating around Shiro are of course attached to her hair, but the positions are very carefully thought out so that it all looks perfectly natural and they really do look like they are floating in the air around her! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

A quick size comparison with an iPhone6!

The figure is only 1/8th scale, but the impressive volume of the hair gives an impressive size, and the atmosphere of the series is captured in the base so effectively!! There is so much to enjoy at once! I only noted the cards above, but there are also chess pieces at the bottom of the base!

They are all very carefully positioned and sculpted with a specific feeling of motion to all come together and complete the dynamic appearance of the figure!

I alerady touched on the cute sticking-out tongue earlier, but also note the dainty hand holding the chess pieces! ★

Even her fingernails have each been carefully sculpted!

Plus each of her nails are also painted with a slightly different color!! The fact that they are sculpted slightly grown out is also so amazing! _:(´ཀ`」∠):_

The product planner who is also a big fan of the series, Hamako, made some playing cards based on the design of the figure! I decided to borrow them and use them for an image cut! ★

▲ Some glass chess pieces as well! ♪

It really is one of those figures that can be enjoyed from absolutely any angle!! You won’t be disappointed if you choose to add her to your collection!! I highly recommend it!

The 1/8th Scale Figure Shiro!

She’ll be up for preorder tomorrow!

Be sure to keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company website for more information! Plus Shiro is not the only figure going up for preorder tomorrow…

Nendoroid Jibril!

From the anime series “No Game No Life” comes a Nendoroid of Jibril, the youngest and strongest of the Flugel race! Even as a Nendoroid the beautiful gradient colors of her hair have been faithfully preserved, and her large wings look as angelic as ever.

She comes with three face plates including a standard smart looking face, a scornful smile as well as an excited expression for when she can’t control her desires. Optional parts include a book, a tablet as well as a large selection of arm and leg parts to create various scenes from the series! Enjoy the small and adorable Jibril in your collection!

“You would challenge me to a game? With human bodies?”

Even in Nendoroid size, the gradient color of her hair has been faithfully preserved! ♪

▲Her wings are fitted with joints to be placed at various different angles!

Along with the intelligent looking smile above, she also comes with a much colder looking smile! (´□｀｡)

▲ She also comes a book too!
Covering her mouth up makes for a rather different feel!

Moving on to her third face plate… ♡

An excited expression unable to control her desires!

The sparkly eyes are so amazing!! You’ll also notice that she is so excited she is even drooling!! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

Plus if we look down at her feet…

It’s a little hard to see, but look at those lovely Nendoroid thighs!! (灬ºωº灬)

Plus if we look at the tablet she is holding…

You can see she is in fact looking at Nendoroid Shiro and Sora’s product page on the GSC site!!

In addition, preorders of Nendoroid Jibril from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Jibril’s Old Collection, a bonus Hand Part and a Black Halo as extras!! ♪

Be sure to consider it when preordering!!! (∩・∀・)∩

⇒ Keep your eyes on the GSC site tomorrow for more info!!

Nendoroid Kiyoshimo (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the 19th Yugumo Class Destroyer, Kiyoshimo! She comes with three face plates including an energetic smile, a half-damaged expression with her cheeks puffed up as well as an excited expression with sparkling eyes. The front and back of her hair are painted with different colors to faithfully capture her original design.

Optional parts include various turret and torpedo firing effect parts as well as a depth charge with effect parts which allow her to take on all kinds of ships including submarines! In addition, she also comes with a yellow umbrella to recreate her “Rainy Season” illustration, as well as a box of throwing beans for her “Setsubun” illustration. Be sure to add the destroyer that wants to be a battleship to your collection!

“Isn’t it about time you make me into a battleship?”

The Yugumo Class Destroyer Kiyoshimo has been transformed into an adorable Nendoroid! As with all the previous KanColle Nendoroids her ship parts have been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size, together with her outfit – from the frilly dress to the ribbon on her chest!

The deep blue inside color of her hair together with its iconic twists and curls have all been faithfully included!

▲ The tied up part at the back is also lovely! (・∀・)

She comes with three face plates, the first of which being the cheerful smile you can see above, and the second is this half-damaged expression with tears in her eyes! (´□｀｡)

The usual effect parts are also included with turret firing parts and torpedo launching parts all ideal for combat scenes!

Another thing to note about this expression is that the one side of her cheek is all puffed up with air! (/ω＼)

▲ Cute! So cute!! I just want to pet her!!

Plus along with the standard effect parts above, she also comes with a depth charge and depth charge splash effect part making her the ideal Nendoroid to take out submarines! ♪

▲ I love the splashing effect that gives a dynamic look!

Plus she also comes with this yellow umbrella to partially recreate her “Rainy Season” illustration! (∩・∀・)∩

Moving on to her third face plate… a sparkling eyes expression!

That glint in her eyes catches her curious personality perfectly! It works nicely with the umbrella parts too! ♪

*Playing swords with umbrellas is dangerous. Do not follow her example!

Last but not least…

“Evils out! Fortune in!”

She also comes with a box of setsubun beans to recreate her Setsubun illustration!

Here is a photo together with one of her battleship role models!

▲ Displayed with Nendoroid Musashi! (Released August 2016)

The sparkling eyes shows just how much she looks up to and admires the battleship!!

Be sure to add the Yugumo Class Destroyer to your collection!

Nendoroid Ash & Pikachu (Pokémon)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The very first Mini CD I ever purchased was “To Be A Pokemon Master”. If I remember correctly the CD was made to look like a Poké Ball!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Ash & Pikachu!

From the popular anime series celebrating its 20th anniversary with a new movie, “Pokémon”, comes a Nendoroid of Ash Ketchum together with Pikachu! He has been sculpted in his original outfit from the beginning series, and comes with three different face plates including a smiling face, a more serious expression for Pokémon battles as well as a gentle smiling expression with closed eyes perfect for showing his close relationship with Pikachu!

His iconic hat can be worn both forward and backward with any of the face plates for all sorts of different display options. Pikachu also comes with both a standard face as well as a battle face allowing for various different scenes. Optional parts include a Poké Ball as well as lightning effect parts for Pikachu’s attacks. Enjoy the adorable Ash and Pikachu in your collection!

“Pikachu, I choose you!”

Apologies for the long wait since their announcement! The main character of the Pokémon series, “Ash”, is joining the Nendoroid series together with his first Pokémon, Pikachu! ★

His arms and tail are both fitted with a ball joint allowing them to moved into various different angles!

As you can see he also has a hole on his back which allows a stand to be attached for jumping poses together with Ash! ☆

▲ High Five! ☆

Although they might be best buddies now, back when they first met that wasn’t quite the case!

In order to recreate scenes like this Pikachu comes with electric effect parts which can be placed around Ash to make it look like he has been electricity!

In addition, Pikachu also comes with a battle face plate which can be used above as a bit of an angry expression, or can instead be used with Ash’s battle expression in order to pose the two of them ready for their next challenge! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

▲ They look perfectly in sync and ready for battle! ♪

Plus the Nendoroid also comes with a rather special option that might be a first on Nendoroids and suits the battle expression perfectly…

He can wear his cap backward and be posed about to throw a Poké Ball!!

The cap can be completed turned around and he also comes with an alternate front hair part to better suit the cap backward! Anyone who has seen the series will remember the scene where he spins his cap around making this a lovely nostalgic item!★

He also comes with a third face plate which is ideal for displaying him playing around with Pikachu – a gentle expression with closed eyes!

Using the included stand you can also pose Ash carrying Pikachu in his arms like above! The way their cheeks are just about touching shows just how close they two are!! This brings back so many memories! ♡

★ ANNOUNCEMENT TIME ★

This Nendoroid Ash & Pikachu will be the commemorative Nendoroid No. 800!!

It’s lovely to have such a world renown series as Nendoroid #800!!
