Nendoroid Serval (Kemono Friends)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have recently been watching cute animal videos to wind down and relax. I love the one with the raccoon trying to clean his candy floss!

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

From the popular anime series “Kemono Friends” comes a Nendoroid of the serval cat, Serval! She comes with three face plates including a cheerful smile, a boasting expression as well as a shouting face for her to let her friends know that she won’t eat them!

Optional parts include a lined background sheet for more zealous poses, as well as the “Boss” also known as Lucky Beast who is included to display by her side! Enjoy recreating all sorts of fun and amazing poses from Kemono Friends by adding the big-eared Serval-chan to your collection!

“We’re friends now, so next time we meet call me Serval-chan!”

Welcome to Japari Park!

From the anime series that became a huge hit “Kemono Friends” comes a Nendoroid of the Serval-chan the serval cat! Some of you may remember that we started preorders for her while she was still an unpainted prototype, but now she is fully painted and still up for preorder so be sure to take another look!ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Her lovely big ears, tight waist, spotted skirt, tail and more have all been adorably converted into Nendoroid size! ★

▲ The fluffy look at the end of the tail! (*´ｪ`*)

The impressive volume at the back of her hair has also been preserved on the Nendoroid! The entire design is a little different to most Nendoroids and focuses on sticking to the appearance from the anime series!

▲ Even the spotted ribbon on the back is faithfully included!

“This is Japari Park! I’m Serval!“

She comes with a couple of interchangeable arm parts which allow to place her in various memorable poses from the series!

Along with the cheerful face above she comes with two other face plates to enjoy! The first of which is this one!

The proud expression she has when showing Kaban-chan around the Savanna area! The sharp eyes and eyebrows make her look all serious which somehow just makes Serval-chan look cuter! ♥

She also comes with thumbs-up parts allowing you to recreate the “It’s a race to see who will get there first” scene! (๑• ̀д•́ )

▲ You have to imagine the cliff behind her!

Moving onto her third face plate which is a shouting expression! (∩・∀・)∩

“I won’t eat you!!“

This expression can be used together with the special lined background sheet to really get Serval-chan’s point across! A special attachment part is included to place the sheet behind her like above, which also of course means you can use it with other characters as well!

Lucky Beast is also included!★

“Leave it to me.“

His tail can even be wagged left and right allowing for slightly different nuances! His cute fluffy form has been painted with a lovely gradient effect! (´□｀｡)

▲ I can just imagine the sound of his cute footsteps!

Plus Nendoroid Kaban has also been announced!

I can’t wait to display her together with Serval-chan and Lucky! Stay tuned for updates! (/ω＼)

In the meantime, be sure to add the Serval Cat Friend to your collection!

Nendoroid Racing Miku 2017 Ver.

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Just as I thought it was warming up we suddenly have a cold spell. I don’t what what to wear in the morning any more!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Racing Miku 2017 Ver.!♥

The official character of the Hatsune Miku GT Project ‘Racing Miku’ is joining the Nendoroids in her 2017 outfit!

The 2017 Racing Miku designed by popular illustrator Tony is based on the image of a fairy, and has been carefully converted into Nendoroid size for fans to enjoy in their collection. She comes complete with a bouquet to support the team, a Nendoroid car for her to ride in as well as a Nendoroid-sized trophy to celebrate the team’s win during the first race at the Okayama International Circuit.

The official character of the 2017 Hatsune Miku GT Project!

The lucky number Nendoroid No. 777 is none other than the 2017 edition of the Hatsune Miku GT Project’s official mascot character: Racing Miku!

The adorable fairy-like outfit for the 2017 ver. was designed by none other than the popular illustrator Tony! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

She is in such a cute pose with one leg up and her hands forming double peace signs! Plus we are also getting a new illustration by Tony in support of each of the races! (灬ºωº灬)

第2戦は富士！さあ今回も明日の本戦勝利を願って今回もイラスト描いて応援だ！
頑張れー！ #fightgsr #SuperGT pic.twitter.com/mjd0ckgt0f

— Tony (@Tony_T2ARTWORKS) May 3, 2017

But anyway, let’s get back to the Nendoroid! Here she is from the back! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The somewhat mechanical looking near-futuristic wing design has been adorably shrunk down to Nendoroid size! The twin-tails with a green to yellow gradient also make use of semi-transparent material allowing you to enjoy the way light shines through them! ♪

Her skirt also makes use of the translucent parts making the frills look lovely and light! ♪

Also note that the very transparent area around her stomach is faithfully included and shown by the fact that you can see her belly-button sculpted on the design! ♥

She also comes with a selection of interchangeable hand parts allowing you to enjoy all sorts of original poses as well! (σ・∀・)σ

▲ Just by changing the hand and arms makes for a rather different feel!

Now for a first look at the other optional parts!

A cute smiling face plate and bouquet parts!

This face plate has a much more gentle feel compared to the standard face plate, creating a more mature appearance that matches the bouquet very nicely! ♡

▲ She has a much more refined appearance like this!

If you look close at the bouquet you can see the various different flowers are each sculpted one-by-one to form the bunch! ♪

The bouquet is given to the winner together with the winner’s trophy, so it is included with the Nendoroid in hopes that it will help spur on the team to continue winning more races in the future!

But that’s not all!

She also comes with a ridable Nendoroid Car!

▲ Her twin-tails trailing behind her to show of the speed of the car! ☆

Note that the flower design on the back of the car, as well as the numbering are all from the actual car taking place in the Super GT races!

▲ From the GOODSMILE RACING Official Site / Gallery Page

In addition to the items above, the Nendoroid will also comes with a tiny replica of the trophy won when the team took first place at the Okayama International circuit earlier this year! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ The next race will take place on the weekend of the 20th May at Autopolis!

Add the fairy of the racing circuit to your collection!

Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: Maiko Ver. (Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We just had a lovely set of consecutive holidays called Golden Week here in Japan! Although now the next public holiday here in Japan is all the way in July…

But no holidays means more figures! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: Maiko Ver.! ♡

From Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie comes a Nendoroid of Mami Tomoe dressed in a gorgeous maiko outfit. She comes with two face plates including a smiling expression and a face with closed eyes.

Bebe is also included in a pose imitating Mami’s, and she also comes with both an open and closed folding fan for various poses. Interchangeable parts to pose her sitting are also included which you can use together with the face with closed eyes to create an elegant bowing pose. Enjoy Mami-san is her gorgeous outfit right in your collection!

A Nendoroid of Mami Tomoe dressed as a gorgeous Maiko!

An all new adorable Nendoroid of Mami-san dressed up in a beautiful kimono filled with plum blossom prints! This is the third in a series of Nendoroids that feature the Puella Magi dressed up in more Japanese-style outfits.

Nendoroid Madoka Kaname: Maiko Ver.

Released in July 2013

Nendoroid Homura Akemi: Haregi Ver.

Planned for release in July 2017

Just like the last two figures in the series, Mami’s outfit has been beautifully converted into Nendoroid size with a wonderfully detailed kimono, sash and hair accessories! ε=(｡・д・｡)

The twirly parts of her hair are fitted with Nendoroid joints allowing you to create various different nuances.

She also comes with interchangeable parts which allow you to place her in this pose holding her sleeve up!

▲ Such a lovely elegant appearance for Mami-san! (/ω＼)

As you can see in the above, she also comes with a folding fan which can be held out like the above photo, or instead placed over her mouth like below to emphasize the blush in her cheeks! ☆

The face plate is the same as the photos above, but just by covering up the mouth it feels so very different! ♪

But that’s not all! Mami-san also comes with a little figure of Bebe!

▲ The mischievous expression is so cute!

The cute little cape has also been faithfully included all the way to the illustration on the back! The overall pose is kind of copying Mami’s pose and even has a cute yellow folding fan! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ Bebe will come with her own stand, different to the one you see here!

Here the two of them look posed performing a dance together! ♪

▲ I can just hear the classic Japanese instruments playing!

Plus she even comes with special sitting parts that allow you to pose her performing a cute yet graceful bow with three fingers to the ground.

▲ The closed-eyes face plate makes for a very gentle scene.

Even while sitting you can still get a good look at the pattern on her kimono!

▲ The way the kimono flattens outward looks lovely! ♪

You can also use the standard face plate with these sitting parts! ♥

If you place her in this pose in your entrance hall she will be there to greet you when you come home each and every day!

Be sure to add the adorable Mami-san to your collection and find the pose that you think suits your collection best!

▲ My personal favorite! Posed in the middle of a graceful dance!

A bright kimono and a cute Mami-san to add to any collection!
Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: Maiko Ver.!

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♡

Be sure to take a look on the Good Smile Company website for more details tomorrow!

Nendoroid Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter) (Fate/Grand Order)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can’t believe it’s already May! Just one more month and we are already half way through 2017! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter)!

From the popular smartphone game “Fate/Grand Order” comes a Nendoroid of the Avenger-class servant, Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter)! She comes with three face plates including a fearless smile, an arrogant glare as well as an embarrassed expression.

Her iconic flag is included together with her black sword, flame effect parts as well as a special sheet to pose her preforming an “Extra Attack”. Enjoy recreating all sorts of scenes from the game in Nendoroid size!

“Applaud! Applaud for our hatred!!”

From Fate/Grand Order comes a cute Nendoroid of the proud and somewhat extremist Avenger-class servant – Jeanne d’Arc (Alter). ★

Her black armor has been sculpted with such intricate detail! The red areas of the outfit are also faithfully preserved with a gradient effect.

For a little figure that stands just 100mm in height her chest is rather impressive in size! Not to mention the little peek at bare skin on her leg in the photo above! Who said Nendoroids can’t be sexy!

Her black sword can be displayed sheathed away, but can also be drawn and displayed ready for combat… plus it even comes with flame effect parts for more intense combat scenes! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The fiery sword shows off her strength as one of the most powerful servants in the game! ★

▲ The flames use translucent parts and a gradient effect! So pretty!

Along with the standard confident smile you see above, she also comes with this haughty glaring expression! (/ω＼)

The shadows under her eyes make it look like a rather scornful expression that really make her look like she is ready to avenge!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

▲ The glaring expression looks great with the sword drawn! ☆

She also comes with another optional part which suits this expression really well… An Extra Attack Effect Sheet!

▲ The sheet comes with it’s own little stand!

This allows you to pose the extra attack flying through the air into her opponent just like in the game!

▲ Guest Appearance: Nendoroid Ruler/Jeanne d’Arc

By the way, as I’m sure you’ve noticed her iconic flag is included in a huge size! Here is a size comparison with mt iPhone6!

▲ Not normally a size you would associate with Nendoroids!

Moving onto her third face plate…

An Embarrassed Expression! ♡

The contrast between the darker glaring expression and the cuteness in this expression is almost too much for me!! (*´﹃｀*)

In addition, the Nendoroid features joints in the shoulders and elbows allowing for much more mobility! This is great for combat scenes, but also helps to create a more embarrassed looking pose as well!! ♥

▲ Those troubled eyebrows and rosy cheeks!!

Enjoy proud poses, combat poses and even her cuter side! ☆
Nendoroid Avenger/Jeanne d’Arc (Alter)!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 9th May 2017!

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company Website for more details!!

○+●+○+●+○+●+○+●+○+●+○+●+○+●+○+●+○+●+○+●+○+●+○+●+

There are also many other FGO products currently up for preorder!

Nendoroid Shielder/Mash Kyrielight!

Note that this week is Golden Week here in Japan, so GSC Customer Support will be unavailable for the rest of the week! The blog will also be on a little hiatus until next week, so see you all then!

Nendoroid Rin & Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver.

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have astigmatic vision which makes me see twin moons when I look up at the moon. But I can see the patterns nice and clearly!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Rin Kagamine : Harvest Moon Ver. &
Nendoroid Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver.!

Outfits based on the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival! ★

Just like the previously released Miku-san, the outfits are based on illustrations by the Chinese illustrator Rella!

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Harvest Moon Ver.

▲ Released in November 2015

▲ The illustrations that the Nendoroids are based on!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them! ♪
Nendoroid Rin Kagamine : Harvest Moon Ver.

From the “Character Vocal Series 02: Kagamine Rin/Len” comes a Nendoroid of Kagamine Rin dressed up in outfit based on those seen at the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.

While the colors used for her outfit have a mature look, the beautiful raiment flowing around her keeps her bright orange image color. She comes with both a cute smiling face plate, as well as a self-satisfied expression as if she had just enjoyed playing a prank on Len. She also comes with a cute white bunny which can be held, as well as a beautiful lotus lamp for her to hold.

A special background panel that brings out the atmosphere of moon viewing is also included, illustrated by the same artist that designed Rin’s outfit – the Chinese illustrator Rella. Be sure to display her together with Nendoroid Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver. and gaze upon the beauty of the moon with Rin and Len by your side!

A sweet figure of Rin heading out to view the moon!

The background panel is included with the figure and comes with its own attachment parts to display behind her like this! The sheet is also illustrated by Rella, the same illustrator that designed the outfits for the characters.

The fluttering frills on her sleeves, haori made from translucent parts and high belt on her waist give Rin a more grown-up appearance than her usual outfit! ♪

▲ This is how she looks from the back!

She also comes with an adorable little bunny which she can hold in her arms!! Just look at that sweet smile on his face!!

▲ The bunny has a bit of a plump appearance! I want to pet him!!

She also comes with a lotus lamp that also uses a translucent material! ♪

▲She looks like she could lead us into a fairytale! ♪

Although the outfit is rather simple, the details on the included parts and accessories is really impressive! The lotus lamp is once thing, but also take a look at the intricate detail of her hair accessories!!

▲ Her trademark white ribbon also has a translucent appearance!☆

Along with her smiling expression above, she also comes with…

A cute self-satisfied face plate that suits her so well!!

Simply select the expression you prefer and enjoy Rin-chan by your side! ♡

Nendoroid Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver.!

From the “Character Vocal Series 02: Kagamine Rin/Len” comes a Nendoroid of Kagamine Len dressed up in outfit based on those seen at the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.

He comes with both vibrant smiling face plate as well as an embarrassed face plate for when he is tricked by Rin! Two cute little bunnies are also included which Len can hold or simply be displayed lying beside him, and he also comes with a Nendoroid-sized Chinese tea set as well as some bunny ear parts for a more playful display!

A special background panel that brings out the atmosphere of moon viewing is also included, illustrated by the same artist that designed Len’s outfit – the Chinese illustrator Rella. Be sure to display him together with Nendoroid Rin Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver. and gaze upon the beauty of the moon with Rin and Len by your side!

Len is going out moon viewing with cute bunnies by his side!

The background panel is the same as Rin-chan’s panel for the perfect twin display!! The wispy clouds and full moon make for a rather romantic atmosphere! (*´ｪ`*)

Len comes with two marshmallow-like bunnies! ♪

▲ He can hold the bunnies or just have them sleeping by his side! ♡

Taking a look from the back! ☆

The grey-orange gradient of his outfit has been beautifully preserved! Also note the adorable round tail of the bunny!! ♪

As a side note, the short little ponytail is fitted with a ball joint allowing you to move it around as you see fit! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ Simply match the hair with any pose you want!

Along with the bunnies, he also comes with a Nendoroid-sized Chinese tea set! (∩・∀・)∩

A cute set of teal utensils on a tray! ♥

Plus he also comes with a second face plate as well as a rather playful optional part that matches up with Rin’s second face plate perfectly! ★

An embarrassed expression and bunny ears!

The expression makes for such a nice contrast to his standard, confident smile!! The wriggly mouth and red cheeks make him look so very out of his element!

If you pose Rin-chan with her self-satisfied expression next to him it makes it look like she is proud to have put the ears on Len!♪

▲ “There is no way this suits me!”
“It looks perfect! I knew my selection would look great!”

They two of them look so adorable displayed together!! As a side note, these items are scheduled to be released around the time the harvest moon rises in mid-Autumn! ^^

Spend a night moon-watching with Rin and Len!

Nendoroid Rin Kagamine : Harvest Moon Ver. &
Nendoroid Len Kagamine: Harvest Moon Ver.!

They will be up for preorder from the 27th April 2017!

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Female/Male Ver.

Hello everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Female/Male Ver.!

A brand new selection of items joining the Nendoroid More series to bring even more display options to your Nendoroids! This time there are both male and female sets to dress-up your favorite Nendoroids in Halloween style! (*´ω`*)

I was actually in charge of planning these items, so I’m going to try and bring out as much of their charm as possible!!! Let’s start off with the male version!

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Male Ver.!

Transform your favorite Nendoroid into a vampire for Halloween!

The Nendoroid More series is a selection of items created to make Nendoroids even more enjoyable, and this new set of items combines the popular After Parts and Dress Up series into a single themed set to dress up your favorite characters for Halloween!

This Male Ver. of the set comes with a vampire body, bats, a black cat, a cross, a zombie’s right hand sticking out the ground and a special Halloween-themed base. The set also includes a selection of stickers including scars, blood, claws and spiderwebs that can be stuck onto Nendoroid face plates, hair parts and bodies allowing for even more dress up options!

Be sure to display it together with the Halloween Set Female Ver. (sold separately) and create your very own Nendoroid Halloween party!

*Images are for illustrative purposes only. No Nendoroid head parts are included with this product.
*The design of this product may not be compatible with all Nendoroid character designs.

Manufacturer: Good Smile Company
Category: Nendoroid More
Release Date: 2017/8
Price: ¥2,315 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: knead (kan-D!, Nikuribon)

In other words, the theme for the male version is a vampire and his friends in a graveyard!

▼Set Contents

▲A nice selection of parts as well as a set of stickers!

I’m sure there are lots of girls like me out there that want to transform their favorite characters into vampires and offer their blood for the greater good!! Which is why I decided that the male Halloween dress-up would focus on the vampire theme!! (*´ω`*）

▲ I love the black cape blowing in the wind! ♡

The cape can also be removed which means that you can still use the dress-up parts with characters with longer hair that might get in the way of the cape!

▲ Without the cape he leaves quite a different impression too! ♡

Along with the body itself the set also includes other items to bring out the Halloween theme such as bats and a black cat!

Another more unique part is the zombie hand crawling out from the grave! The hands have been shrunk to Nendoroid size which make them rather cute, but they have a rather distasteful color scheme to bring out that zombie feel!! The right hand is included with the male version while the left hand is included with the female version!

▲ If you grab both sets you can display the two hands together as a single zombie trying to dig his way out!

A cross is also included which is designed to be used as a kind of background, but it can also be put in front or elsewhere to create all sorts of interesting situations!

▲A vampire targeting an innocent witch from behind the cross…

In addition, a special Halloween-themed base is also included with a purple and orange chequered pattern! The same design is included with the female set!

Moving on, let’s take a look at the Female Ver.!

Nendoroid More: Halloween Set Male Ver!

Transform your favorite Nendoroid into a witch or devil for Halloween!

This Female Ver. of the set comes with a witch body, devil-themed parts including a horn, pitchfork and tail, a jack-o’-lantern, ghost, a zombie’s left hand sticking out the ground and a special Halloween-themed base. The set also includes a selection of stickers including scars, blood, claws and spiderwebs that can be stuck onto Nendoroid face plates, hair parts and bodies allowing for even more dress up options!

Be sure to display it together with the Halloween Set Male Ver. (sold separately) and create your very own Nendoroid Halloween party

*Images are for illustrative purposes only. No Nendoroid head parts are included with this product.
*The design of this product may not be compatible with all Nendoroid character designs.

Manufacturer: Good Smile Company
Category: Nendoroid More
Release Date: 2017/8
Price: ¥2,315 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: knead (kan-D!, Nikuribon)

The theme for the Female version is a witch that is ready to trick you if you don’t give her treats! Plus a ghost!

▼Set Contents

I had a lot of trouble deciding what outfit the female version should use! There are too many options for Halloween… but I think the most common dress-up would be a witch, so that was what I decided on! Plus she comes with a jack-o’-lantern shaped bucket to collect her candy!

▲ Trick or Treat with a ghost!

The ghost was specially designed to look cute and gentle to better suit the Nendoroid world! I love the wiggling appearance of his tail at the back!

▲ If you position him carefully he looks a bit like he is carrying the bucket!

However! I wanted some more posing options which is why I also included a few parts which make for a slightly different appearance! Devil attachment parts! (*´ω`*）

▲ The blood stickers suit the devilish look so well!!

Both sets come with a set of stickers that can be stuck to the face plates, hair or anywhere else for a nice little dress-up effect!! ♪

▲ A bunch of stickers to match the Halloween theme!!

The stickers are designed to easily stick onto even curved surfaces, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble attaching them to different parts! ♪

Let’s dress-up some Nendoroids!

Nendoroid Shielder/Mash Kyrielight x Devil Witch!

Nendoroid Tobio Kageyama x Vampire!

Nendoroid Syaoran Li x Vampire &

Nendoroid Sakura Kinomoto x Witch!

Dress-up your favorite Nendoroids for Halloween!!

However that’s not all!! We also have one other item coming to join the Nendoroid More series!!

Nendoroid More Face Parts Case (Halloween Cat)!

Trick or Treat with a Nendoroid More Face Parts case!

The Nendoroid More series is a selection of items created to make Nendoroids even more enjoyable, and the latest addition to the series is a new face parts case with a Halloween theme!

The case allows you to store up to two spare expression parts inside while also having a cute black cat appearance with a Halloween theme to put on display – which means that even your spare parts will have a place in your collection!

With the recent live action film, “Beauty and the Beast” is as popular as ever, and now the classic animated version of Belle is even getting an adorable Nendoroid figure!!

Belle is one of my favorite Disney Princesses so I was really excited to hear she would be transformed into a Nendoroid!! She has that gentle Princess touch but also has the charming aspect of being a daydreamer!

Belle is one of many Disney and Pixar Nendoroids that were announced during the 2017 Winter Wonder Festival! There are still many more characters coming to join her! ★

But anyway, let’s get back to Belle!♪

Belle has her hair tied up in a mature yet cute style, and her lovely yellow dress has many drapes that have been carefully converted into Nendoroid size!

She comes with an interchangeable skirt part which allows you to pose her pinching the end of her dress to recreate this classic pose! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ Even the frills on the inside have been carefully sculpted! ♪

The figure also comes with a lovely selection of accessories and parts to display together with Belle herself! Let’s take a closer look at them one by one!

◆ Mrs. Potts and Chip ◆

The shiny paintwork makes them really look like ceramics!

The wide open eyes also give them both such a cute look! The designs have been slightly altered to better match with the Nendoroid design, but even so just having them beside Belle really helps to bring out the atmosphere of the series! (*´ｪ`*)

◆ Enchanted Rose ◆

My favorite shot! You can pose Belle holding the rose like so!♡

The glass case that holds the enchanted rose in the film is also included, allowing you to instead simply display the rose by her side as a decoration instead!

▲The rose inside the case makes for a very different atmosphere!

◆ Hand Mirror ◆

The dignified looking magical mirror is also included! ☆

▲ The reflective side of the mirror shows Beast!

◆ Beast ◆

Beast is also included on a clear sheet! (ฅ^･ω･^ ฅ)

He comes with his own little stand to allow you to pose Beauty and the Beast together in Nendoroid size! Even the height difference looks great! I can just picture the ballroom scene in my head…

Nendoroid Tadashi Yamaguchi (Haikyu!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I like my french fries freshly fried! I tend to eat two or three at once and feel a little extravagant! *nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Tadashi Yamaguchi!

From the popular volleyball manga series with an equally popular anime, ‘Haikyu!!’, comes a Nendoroid of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club’s pinch server – Tadashi Yamaguchi! He comes with three face plates including a standard expression, the serious expression he had when performing his well-practiced jump float serve as well as a smiling expression.

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. He also comes with a his favorite snack, floppy fries! Be sure to display him with the other characters from the series and create all sorts of fun situations in Nendoroid size!

“What more do you need than pride?!”

The pinch server for Karasuno High School Volleyball Club’s who always takes his practice seriously, Tadashi Yamaguchi is joining the adorable Nendoroid series of figures! ☆

This is in fact the 12th Nendoroid from the series!

⇒ Haikyu! Product Listing

I look forward to seeing who will be next! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

But let’s head back to Yamaguchi!

▲ Posed calling out to Tsukki!

His rather unkempt hair with a tint of green and his freckled face have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size! The open mouth with his top teeth showing is so very cute too!! ★

Along with this standard smiling expression above, he also comes with a more serious expression for when he is in a match, ready to perform his jump float serve!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Making use of the Nendoroid stand you can pose him just before he strikes the ball!!

Bent arm and leg parts are also included which can be mixed and matched to recreate all sorts of different scenes both in volleyball matches and for more casual scenes! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

▲ The contrast between his smile and this expression is lovely!

The word Yamaguchi says most often in a day is said to be “Tsukki”, so it only makes sense to display him together with Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima!

▲ Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima (Released August 2016)

* Yamaguchi is a prototype and Tsukki is a final product making the sizes slightly different.

You can easily pose Yamaguchi boasting about Tsukki’s amazing talent!

His third expression is this lovely cheerful expression! ♪

It’s perfect for these scenes with Tsukki, but can also be used for all sorts of other situations as well! I can just imagine a victory pose with that smile as well!!

Last but not least…

▲ You can see the floppy yellow sticking out above his shoulder!

He comes with his favorite food: floppy fries !ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

Another item that matches with his smiling face plate perfectly!! Each and every one of the fries has been sculpted with a lovely floppy appearance to ensure he is happy!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ The fact that he is holding it with two hands is also cute!

Just look how cute he is!! ☆

▲ Just looking at this brought a smile to your face!

Nendoroid Fubuki Kai-II (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Fubuki Kai-II!

“11th Destroyer Division, Nendoroid Fubuki – heading out!”

From the popular browser game that is celebrating its 4th anniversary in April 2017, ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the first Fubuki-class special destroyer, Fubuki Kai-II! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, combat expression and half-damaged expression.

The Nendoroid has been tuned to allow for more action scenes with additional joints added to her hips. She also includes a variety of effect parts including turret firing effect parts, torpedo effect parts, effect parts to display her gliding along the surface of the water, machine-gun water pillar effect parts as well as a smokescreen effect part allowing for all sorts of action scenes! Enjoy the 4th anniversary of KanColle together with the Nendoroid KanColle series, which has also been running for nearly four years!

Manufacturer: Good Smile Company
Category: Nendoroid
Release Date: 2017/10
Price: ¥4,630 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: JUN (E.V.)

One of the many products planned as a part of the Kantai Collection -KanColle- 4th anniversary celebration, the first Fubuki-class special destroyer, Fubuki Kai-II is joining the Nendoroid series!

The Nendoroid has been beautifully sculpted with her uniform and ship parts keeping faithfully to the original illustration! Even the areas that were not visible in the original illustration have been sculpted and painted in lovely detail! ♪

Look at these lovely ship parts on her back! ♡

▲ Her little bit of tied-up hair and the torpedo launchers on her legs are articulated for various different nuances! ♪

I spy a little anchor on the underside of her ship parts! (ΦωΦ)

▲ She also has anchor marks on her socks! ♪

Nendoroid Fubuki Kai-II comes with a total of three face plates, starting off with the standard expression that I have been using up until now!

Bent left and right arms are also included which when used with the standard expression will make for the lovely cheerful pose below!

▲ A lovely little peek at her belly button!

Her second face plate is a combat expression which is perfect for posing her heading into battle or with fighting effect parts!!

Placing her in a more combat-orientated stance instantly changes her character from the innocent, cute ship girl into an appearance more suited to a destroyer!

She also comes with turret firing effect parts, torpedo effect parts, effect parts to display her gliding along the surface of the water for even more options!!

▲ The strap for her turret is made from faux leather to easily place it in various poses. You can also have her hold the turret with either hand!

Last but not least we move onto her third face plate which I always love to see on KanColle Nendoroids…

Her Half-Damaged Expression!

▲ It was cute and I was happy so I made a GIF.

Why is it that Nendoroid with crying faces are always so cute!! I feel like I should feel sorry for her, but all I can think of is how cute she is!! This expression could be used for all sorts of different situations!!

▲Even more effect parts! Machine gun fire creating water pillars as well as a smokescreen! You can just imagine her cute voice shouting out “No! Stop!”!!

You can also use this face plate with the bent arms for this pose!!

▲ Don’t you just want to rush to her side and protect her?

Nendoroid Fubuki Kai-II!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 21st April 2017!

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a nice set of bonus items including a Nendoroid Fubuki Kai-II’ Special Box Sleeve, Special Nendoroid Base & Clear Ocean Display Sheet!

* Bonus base is a square 8cm x 8cm type.

The Clear Ocean Display Sheet is A4 in size and works great as a background photography or just for displays!

▲You can see it is slightly transparent here!

Using both the Clear Ocean Display Sheet and the Special Nendoroid Base really help to bring out the KanColle world!!

▲ You could also place the sheet underneath Nendoroids to display them gliding on the ocean!

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

The Kantai Collection -KanColle- game’s 4th anniversary is quickly coming up, and thus we will have figma Fubuki up for preorder at the same time as the Nendoroid at the same time to celebrate!!

Nendoroid Syaoran Li (Cardcaptor Sakura)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m really terrible at sewing. I remember back when I was a student I made a scarf in class and it ended up too short to even wrap around my neck once. I can’t even imagine sewing together a complete teddy bear!

Anyway, today I’m going to take a look at…
Nendoroid Syaoran Li!

From the famous Cardcaptor Sakura series which currently has an all new “Clear Card Arc” being serialized comes a Nendoroid of Syaoran Li! He comes with three face plates including an aloof standard expression, a shouting expression for combat scenes as well as a bit of an embarrassed, blushing expression!

Optional parts include the charms he uses for elemental magic as well as a sword that can be displayed both drawn and sheathed in the included scabbard. Be sure to add the cute Syaoran to your collection!

“Found one! I sense a Clow Card!”

From the series that has been loved by fans for years on end, “Cardcaptor Sakura” comes a Nendoroid the distant relative to the powerful magician Clow Reed who transfers to Japan from Hong Kong to collect the Clow Cards – Syaoran Li!

I was the head planner for this figure and let me start off by saying that I’ve been waiting just as long as the everyone else for this figure to be released!!

He was one of the Nendoroids that received a large number of votes on the Nendoroid 10th Anniversary Next Nendoroid Survey, so I really think the fact that he was finally able to join the Nendoroids was thanks to the fans love and support!! A big thank you to everyone, as it was a figure that I personally really wanted too!! (✿´ ꒳ ` )

On top of that we have the all new series, a rebroadcast of the anime and the recent birthday event… it’s such a great time to be a Cardcaptor fan!

But anyway, let’s get back to the Nendoroid!! ♪

First and foremost let’s take a look at the face plate that above, which is his rather aloof looking standard expression! His green outfit has also been converted into Nendoroid size with careful attention to detail! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

His sword and scabbard are can be held in place with the Nendoroid stand, allowing you to pose him as if carrying the sword on his back! The bells on the bottom of his outfit as well as certain areas on the sword make use of a metallic paint to better capture the different textures!

Included to pose with him is one of his charms…

▲ Includes an special hand to display him holding it! ♪

As well as his sword removed from the sheath!

These parts can be used with the included shouting face plate to recreate all sorts of combat poses! I posed him here in a pose just before he uses his standard lightning spell! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

In addition, the Nendoroid also comes a bent leg part which you can mix and match with other parts to recreate various different action scenes!

The sculpt of the outfit also has a bit of a dynamic sculpt to it in order to match up with the more action-orientated poses! (∩・∀・)∩

His third face plate: a blushing face!

When I had to select a third face plate for Syaoran it was such a difficult choice to make! I went back and reread all the volumes of the manga paying close attention to his facial expressions!

The arguing expressions when he was talking with Toya, the gentle smiling expression with confident eyes… there were so many options, but in the end the scene that had always stuck in my memory was this expression from volume 9 in the manga, where he first becomes aware of his feelings for Sakura-chan while walking with Tomoyo-chan… (/ω＼)

Displayed with Nendoroid Sakura Kinomoto! ♥

▲ Syaoran is a prototype while Sakura-chan is an actual product, making the sizes slightly different!

I’m go glad I can finally display the two of them together like this!! ( ；∀；)

Plus we also have…

Tomoyo-chan ready to snap some pictures of them!

(I think Tomoyo-chan and I are feeling the same happiness right now!!)

If you display Sakura-chan with her excited expression and Syaoran blushing you can imagine that they just met Yukito! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

Although they are in their battle outfits, the expressions are still more than enough to tell a little story! ✿

Displaying Syaoran alone is of course amazing in itself, but I highly recommend posing him with the previously released Nendoroids and Nendoroid Co-de from the series to recreate all sorts of different situations from the Cardcaptor Sakura universe! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

By the way, Syaoran’s hat can also be removed!

Simply select the pose, face plate and parts that you like best and pose Syaoran in all sorts of serious, gallant and cute poses!! ♡

Be sure to add the adorable Syaoran-kun to your collection!
Nendoroid Syaoran Li!

He is up for preorder later today!!

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will be open from 19th April 2017 (Wed) from 12:00JST until 18th May 2017 (Thu) at 12:00JST!

In addition, purchases from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include this Special Compass Base Sheet as a bonus!

This can be placed on the Nendoroid stand like so to bring out the atmosphere of the series even more! ♪

Be sure to consider it when preordering!! ★
