Nendoroid Rimi Ushigome (BanG Dream!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have sweet breads for breakfast nearly every day! Recently I’ve become quite attached to melon pan! It’s most delicious after 0 seconds in the microwave! It’s magic!! Anyway, today I’m going to take a look at…

Nendoroid Rimi Ushigome!

From the anime series BanG Dream! comes a Nendoroid of Poppin’Party’s bassist, Rimi Ushigome! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, an innocent expression with her mouth open and an expression with upturned eyes.

Optional parts include a bass guitar to display her performing live, as well as a case for the guitar allowing you to display her on the way to and from practice. Be sure to display her with the previously announced Nendoroid Kasumi Toyama and Arisa Ichigaya to recreate all sorts of different situations in Nendoroid size!

“I was a little scared… but it was fun! I want to join the band!”

From the anime series BanG Dream! that has also become a popular rhythm adventure game ‘BanG Dream! Girls Band Party’ on smartphones comes an adorable Nendoroid of the slightly timid character who joins Poppin’Party as the lead bassist – Nendoroid Rimi Ushigome!

She is the third Poppin’Party member to join the Nendoroids! ♪

– Nendoroid Kasumi Toyama –

▲ Releases August 2017

– Nendoroid Arisa Ichigaya –

☆ *CURRENTLY UP FOR PREORDER* ☆
▲ Releases September 2017

– Nendoroid Saya Yamabuki / Tae Hanazono –

▲ Currently in production!

Anyway, let’s get back to Rimi-rin! ♪

She comes complete with the bass guitar that was handed down to her from her older sister Yuri! The amount of detail on the pink and black design is amazing! Her characteristic bobcut hair with slightly longer sides has also been very nicely preserved in Nendoroid size! (´□｀｡)

Up until now I have only shown her cute smiling face, but let’s take a look at her alternate face plates! The first of which is this one!

A cute, innocent face with her mouth open! ♡

The childish look that the open mouth gives her makes her look so very adorable!! It makes her look like she is carefully concentrating, making sure that she captures the right notes for her performance!

Moving on to her third face plate…

A cute expression with upturned eyes! ♥

At first I thought she would come with a more standard smiling expression similar to Kasumi and Arisa… but this suits her character so much better!! An excellent choice by the product’s planner, Chii-chan! (@gsc_chii) (｀・д´・；)

Rimi has a timid personality that makes those around her want to protect and care for her… and this expression just brings out that feeling tenfold!!! I would be happy to bring her delicious bread from Yamabuki bakery every day! With that said…

Rimi-rin also comes with her favorite bread from the bakery, a chocolate coronet! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

▲ Enjoy a delicious bite together with Rimi!

Posing her with the bread allows for a more relaxed, everyday scene! I’m sure it will be fun to pose her like this together with the other characters for a change of pace from their performing poses! ★

▲ “Here, you can have a bite too!”

Plus there is still one more optional part included! Similar to the previous characters in the series she comes with a case for her bass guitar! ヽ(*´Д｀*)ﾉ

▲ You can even see the “ESP” letters on the case!

This means you can not only pose her during a performance, but you can also pose her walking to and from practice, carrying the bass guitar on her back!

▲ The pointing finger and bent arm allows for cute poses like this! ♡

Be sure to enjoy Rimi in all sorts of situations with the various parts!

Be sure too add Poppin’Party’s bassist to your collection!
Nendoroid Rimi Ushigome!

She will be up for preorder from the 19th April! ♪

Plus purchases from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Special Background Sheet for Nendoroids (Sunset) as a bonus!

* The sheet has been reinforced in this photo.

The three Nendoroids so far on their way home after school! ☆

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Plus as I already mentioned, don’t forget that Nendoroid Arisa is still currently up for preorder! ♥♡

Nendoroid Mei: Classic Skin Edition (Overwatch)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I recently purchased a fluffy cushion and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! Everyone should own at least one soft, round cushion!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Mei: Classic Skin Edition!

From the globally popular multiplayer first-person shooter, Overwatch^®, comes the second Nendoroid figure from the series – Mei! The Nendoroid comes complete with two different face plates as well as various effects for her abilities to recreate iconic poses from the game!

Mei’s Endothermic Blaster comes with attachable effect parts to display her firing a stream of frost to freeze her enemies! The weather-modification drone stored on the cylinder on her back can be detached and comes with its own stand to display by Mei’s side, as well as a circular effect sheet to display Mei activating her “Blizzard” ultimate ability!

The Nendoroid is fully articulated, allowing her to be posed in many different ways, and has been carefully sculpted and tuned to ensure that the joints do not stand out, keeping Mei’s unique appearance intact. Be sure to add this a-Mei-zing Nendoroid to your collection!

“Our world is worth fighting for.”

The second Nendoroid from the globally popular multiplayer first-person shooter, Overwatch®, is none other than the peerless climatologist – Mei!!

⇒ Visit the OVERWATCH x GSC Special Site

The first in the series was of course none other than Tracer! ♪

Nendoroid Tracer: Classic Skin Edition

▲ Releases August 2017

Nendoroid Tracer is still available for preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP. but orders close on the 20th April 2017 at 12:00JST, so make sure you don’t miss out! If you order now you can grab her together with Mei and save on shipping! ♪

⇒ ONLINE SHOP
⇒ BLOG REVIEW

But anyway, let’s get back to Mei! (*´ｪ`*)

Even in Nendoroid size her lovely fluffy outfit has been sculpted in intricate detail! ★

▲The cute designs on her arm and gloves are also included!

Her Endothermic Blaster has also been shrunk down into chibi size to suit the Nendoroid design! ♪

Perhaps my best thing about the Nendoroid is that the weather-modification drone, “Snowball”, normally stored on the cylinder on her back can be removed and even comes with its own little stand to display floating beside her! This allows you to recreate the “Companion” Emote from the game! (ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

In addition, effect parts are included that attach to the endothermic blaster to pose her firing a stream of frost to freeze her opponents! Brrr…

Snowball also comes with effect parts to display Mei making use of her Blizzard ultimate ability! ♪

“Freeze! Don’t move!”

▲ The circular sheet is also included! (∩・∀・)∩

In addition, she also comes with this second face plate! ♥

A gentle smiling face filled with joy! ヽ(*´Д｀*)ﾉ

As the figure is fully articulated you can also place her hands in the position above to recreate the Yaaaaaaaaay! emote from the game!!

This expression while facing Snowball makes it look like the two of them are having a little conversation! So cute! ♪

▲The cute expression makes me want to grab her little cheeks! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

As a side note, her glasses can also be removed for some additional fun posing options! Simply display her how ever you prefer! ♥

▲ Mei without her glasses! Quite a fresh look for her!

Be sure to add the a-mei-zing climatologist to your collection!
Nendoroid Mei: Classic Skin Edition!

An upset expression!★

Nendoroid Darkness (Konosuba! 2)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We’re in the season of spring cabbage! I’ve always enjoyed frying them together with sakura shrimp for the perfect spring meal! *nom* (●´ㅂ`●) *nom*

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

From the anime series ‘Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Syukufuku wo! 2’ comes a Nendoroid of the blue-eyed, blond-haired masochistic knight – ‘Darkness’! She comes with three face plates including a composed smiling expression, a euphoric expression with a slight blush on her cheeks as well as a worried, blushing expression that makes you wonder what she is anticipating!

Optional parts include her sword as well as articulated arm parts that allow for all sorts of different poses. In addition, two flying cabbage monsters as well as an alternate upper body part with her clothes damaged is also included. Be sure to display her with the previously announced Nendoroid Aqua and Nendoroid Megumin!

A Nendoroid of the masochistic Crusader!

From the series KONO SUBARASHII SEKAI NI SYUKUFUKU WO! 2 comes an adorable little Nendoroid of the female knight that tends to be too clumsy to land a good attack, but always makes a good shield – Darkness! (∩・∀・)∩

Her armor features glossy paint to differentiate textures!

Her characteristic blond hair also has a slight orange gradient toward the end of the ponytail!

▲ The ponytail also features a Nendoroid joint allowing for various nuances! ♪

Darkness is in fact the third Nendoroid from the series following on from these two! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

– Nendoroid Aqua –

▲ Released November 2016

– Nendoroid Megumin –

▲ Releases August 2017

Returning to our main feature, Nendoroid Darkness comes with two static arms that you can see in the photos above, and in addition comes with special articulated arms which have a joint in the elbow allowing for more dynamic poses!

This allows for more action poses with her sword!! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

Plus along with the lovely smiling expression above, she also comes with two alternate face plates! ★

The first is this euphoric expression!!

Plus as you may have noticed she even comes with an alternate upper body part that has her armor broken and outfit slashed up – allowing you to pose her enjoying taking the damage for everyone else! (´□｀｡)

Two flying cabbage monsters are also included with their own little stands allowing for even more situations in Nendoroid size!! ♥

▲ Different expressions and carefully sculpted leaves!

Onto her third face plate…

A worried, blushing expression! ♥

However, anyone that knows the masochistic Darkness will know that even if she is faced with a rather horrible fate… she is probably quite looking forward to it – and that shows on her face! (´ー`*)

The pose that emphasizes her bust is also welcome!

▲ Even in Nendoroid size her boobies are rather impressive! (/ω＼)

The expression also works nicely with the cabbage monsters! ♪

▲ If you balance it carefully she can even hold one!

Be sure to add the cute crusader to your collection!
Nendoroid Darkness!

Nendoroid Japan (Hetalia The World Twinkle)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The cherry blossoms have finally started to bloom here in Japan! Today is also the day that the new recruits come to join the GSC ranks!! I can’t wait to meet them and see what kind of characters they have ♪

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

Nendoroid Japan!

From the popular anime “Hetalia The World Twinkle” comes a Nendoroid of Japan! He comes with both a modest standard expression as well as an impassioned expression for when he talks about food!

Optional parts include the case for his bamboo sword, his pet dog Pochi-kun as well as some Japanese rice for him to eat and talk about! He also features a special round base decorated with cherry blossoms to bring out the Japanese atmosphere! Be sure to add the shy and somewhat mysterious Japan to your collection!

“I’m so very sorry for troubling you.”

The character who excels at sensing the mood and being overly reserved; the quiet and diligent young man ‘Japan’ is joining the Nendoroid series! His rounded silky looking hair, cute pose with his hands held in front of him as well as the elegant yet dignified look on his face… (*´ｪ`*)

All of his characteristics have been captured in Nendoroid size! ♥

The white uniform he wears has also been sculpted in detail with even the little buttons and collar faithfully represented!

▲ The golden area around the sleeves have a slightly shiny paint! ♪

He also comes with a nice selection of optional parts! Let’s take a look at them! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

– Bamboo Sword Case –

This comes with a string that allows him to carry it on his back like above! Note that the actual material of this string to be used on the final product is still under consideration and is likely to change!

This is how he looks carrying it from the front!

▲ The parallel arm makes for a cute pose even when just standing up straight!

– Sitting Parts & Rice Bowl & Chopsticks –

Not only does he comes with chopsticks and a bowl full of rice with an umeboshi on top, but he also comes with sitting parts!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

But that’s not all, he also comes with a passionate expression, perfect for posing him talking about food!! The slight blush on his cheeks, serious eyebrows and square-shaped open mouth make for a rather different impression when compared with the previous face plate!! It’s that contrast that makes it all the more fun though! ♥

The important umeboshi has also been sculpted on top!

▲ I wish I could talk about food while enjoying a meal with him!!

– Pochi-kun –

The somewhat despondent looking eyes of Pochi-kun are perfect!!

The soft and round appearance with little stubbly legs has also all been captured to display together with Japan!

Not only can you display him by his side, but you can also display Nendoroid Japan holding him!

▲ It’s as if he is staring down at Pochi-kun! So cute!!

Although he only comes with two face plates, there are a nice selection of rather large optional parts which allow for all sorts of different scenes and situations!

In addition, he also comes with a special round Nendoroid base that features a cherry blossom design! ✿

Capture the spirit of Japan in cute Nendoroid size!
Nendoroid Japan!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Nendoroid More: Learning with Manga! Fate/Grand Order Face Swap (Shielder/Mash Kyrielight)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We have reached the end of March!! I can’t believe we are already heading into April and it’s still this cold! :;(∩´﹏`∩);:

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

Learning with Manga! Fate/Grand Order Face Swap (Shielder/Mash Kyrielight)!★

From the manga series on the Fate/Grand Order official site, “Learning with Manga! Fate/Grand Order” comes a special alternate face plate for Shielder/Mash Kyrielight! The face comes complete with an alternate front hair part to completely recreate the cute appearance from the manga!

Nendoroid Shielder/Mash Kyrielight is also being rereleased, so whether you already own her or choose to add her to your collection now, be sure you don’t miss out on this chance to power her up!

※*Only includes a Nendoroid Face Plate and Front Hair Parts.

“Senpai… you’re even going to change me?”

This lovely alternate expression for Shielder that was revealed last weekend at AnimeJapan 2017 is almost ready to go up for preorders! This isn’t just your average Nendoroid More: Face Swap – it’s a special edition that allows you to transform the standard Shielder Nendoroid into the cute illustrations by Riyo-san seen in the Learning with Manga! Fate/Grand Order web comic! ♥

It comes complete with an alternate front hair part! (∩・∀・)∩

The above shows the difference between the hairstyles of the standard Nendoroid Shielder/Mash Kyrielight and the version that uses this new expression You can see how the overall design has become even more chibified plus the eyebrows somehow move to be shown on top of the hair to faithfully represent the manga illustrations!

The WonFes product Nendoroid Gudako also come with an expression from the web comic as well as an alternate hairstyle – you can see the differences compared below! (｡・д・｡)

▲ Nendoroid Gudako

The extra face plate can be used just with Nendoroid Shielder/Mash Kyrielight for all sorts of fun, but perhaps the most enjoyable way to make use of her is to display the two Learning with Manga! Fate/Grand Order characters together to recreate the silly scenes from the web comic! ♪

▲ The web comic comes to life in Nendoroid size!

The only limit to the amount of fun is your imagination! Create all sorts of situations! ♡

▲ The designs really have a powerful impact…

You can also display them together with the Learning with Manga! Fate/Grand Order Collectible Figures (currently up for preorder) for even more chaos!

▲ Nendoroids are around 10cm, the trading figures are around 3.5cm!

To summarize, this product comes with just the face plate and alternate front hair parts below!

The back of the hair, body and other parts all require the original Nendoroid Shielder/Mash Kyrielight!

Be sure to power-up your Mash with an additional face plate!

Learning with Manga! Fate/Grand Order Face Swap (Shielder/Mash Kyrielight)!★

Up for preorder from the 4th April 2017!

The Nendoroid More series was created to make Nendoroids even more enjoyable, and the fifth addition to the “Dress Up” series is here to do just that – Dress Up Suits!

The line-up includes a black suit and an office uniform for female characters, as well as a black suit, grey vest and white shirt for male characters – plus there is one secret design to look out for! The secret design also comes with a little accessory to help create some interesting stories between your Nendoroids! Be sure to add the stylish suits to your collection!!

*Photos with heads are for illustrative purposes only. No Nendoroid head parts are included with this product.

The 5th in the Dress Up Series!

The Nendoroid More series is a selection of products design to make Nendoroids more enjoyable, and perhaps one of the most popular in the series are these ‘Dress Up’ bodies for Nendoroids! These dashing suits allow for all sorts of stylish and formal poses! ♡

See previous items in the “Dress Up” series here!

Just a quick note to those who have never purchased items from the series before: These items are designed to use together with your existing Nendoroid collection! When you purchase one it comes with only a body. No Nendoroid head parts are included with the product!

With that aside, let’s get started! ♪

◆ Male: Grey Vest/Waistcoat
◆ Female: Black Suit

A rather tight-fitting vest together with a black tie for a very smart and intellectual appearance! On the other hand we have a nice formal skirt-type suit for the ladies, with one arm on her hips in a nice confident pose and a little peek at the light pink shirt underneath!

◆Male: Black Suit
◆Female: Office Uniform

The black suit for men comes with a refreshing sky-blue neck-tie that gives a lovely fresh appearance! The office lady uniform instead has a cute little ribbon at the top as well as a gentle color scheme that make her look both colorful and cute – and easy to use with all sorts of characters! ★

◆Male: White Shirt

A formal shirt with a loose tie! The pose even has him adjusting the tie as if he just made it a little looser for that laid back feel!! This particular pose really brings out the product planner’s tastes!! That product planner is none that than Suwabe! (@gsc_suwabe)

Anyway, I have already shown a couple of characters wearing suits over on my Twitter account, but let’s have a quick recap of them here!

First up we have these lovely gents from YURI!!! on ICE!!

As well as these sword boys that are currently up for preorder!

But let’s try some other characters!

Nendoroid Rem + Office Uniform

These two come from a fantasy setting which makes this quite a unique sight, but that is just what makes it so special!

⇒ You can find out more about these Nendoroids Here!

Nendoroid Lin Setsu A + Grey Vest

It’s so fun to see these match-ups that would never have actually appeared in the series… and yet somehow still look so befitting! ☆

Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno + White Shirt

With this expression the suit no longer goes for the ‘cool’ appearance and instead makes him look rather slovenly! (/ω＼)

The expression above was once of the stickers that could be used on the blank face plate parts that were included with Nendoroid Karamatsu!

Nendoroid Katori + Black Suit

Note that the hand and leg parts of the Nendoroid More: Dress Up Suits are articulated allowing you to make various different poses with the suited characters as well!

Even with the same body, the pose and expression make for a completely different experience! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

Nendoroid Emilia (Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

This weekend is AnimeJapan! We will be at the event with all sorts of interesting activities and products on sale, so be sure to stop by!

But anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Emilia!

From the anime series ‘Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the half-elf heroine, Emilia! Her characteristic outfit has been faithfully converted into cute Nendoroid size, and she comes with three face plates including a standard expression, an angry expression as well a crying expression based on the scene from the final episode.

Optional parts include the robe she used to hide her identity as well as magic effect parts to display her casting her water magic. The spirit Pack is of course also included to display by her side! Be sure to display her with Nendoroid Rem and Nendoroid Ram and recreate your favorite scenes from the series!

“Emilia-tan is such an angel!”

A Nendoroid of the beautiful half-elf who just can’t he honest with herself – Emilia!! The unique pattern of her gentle light purple eyes, lovely long silver hair and even the cute hair accessories have all been faithfully preserved in Nendoroid size! ♥

The details of her elegant white and purple outfit are also lovely, with the frills of her skirt and around her collar beautifully sculpted!

The little end part of her hair that is tied up is actually a separate part connected with a simple joint, allowing you to move it around to match different nuances with your posing!

▲ The movement is so slight, but so cute!

Of course you can’t have Emilia without a certain spirit by her side! Which means that Pack is also included to display by her side!! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

His lovely kitty appearance has been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size to match up with Emilia, and both his neck and tail are fitted with joints for slight little changes in pose!

Emilia also comes with a selection of water magic effect parts!

These parts can be used with the standard expression for a more gentle looking pose, or instead used with the angry expression below for a more serious battle scene!

The change from the gentle look on the standard face to the much more serious, confident look on this expression is captured really nicely!

There are a total of three water magic effect parts!

▲ Specially jointed long stands are included to place them around Emilia at various different distances and angles! ☆

But perhaps the most amazing part…

The robe she used to hide her identity is also included in Nendoroid size!! (∩・∀・)∩

Those cute bunny-like ears make for such an adorable design!! Just look at the cute little stitching at the bottom of the ears!! This allows you to recreate even more scenes from the series!

*Note that the hood is attached to her hair parts.

Last but not least we move on to her third face plate…

Nendoroid Ruby Kurosawa (LoveLive! Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I always mess up what day of the week it is after a long weekend! It doesn’t feel like Tuesday today at all! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Ruby Kurosawa!

From the anime series ‘LoveLive!Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Aqours member Ruby Kurosawa wearing her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’! She comes with both a sparkling smile as well as a troubled expression.

“Ganbaruby!”

The honest and sincere Aqours member who is always determined to be a better idol… even if she might be a bit of a crybaby at times! Ruby Kurosawa is joining the Nendoroids! ♥

That innocent, sparkling facial expression, the little twin-tails as well as the cute hair accessories that hold them in place have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size!

Ruby is the sixth Nendoroid to join the LoveLive! Sunshine!! Nendoroid Aquors series! The members that have already been up for preorder are as follows:

– Nendoroid Chika Takami –

▲ Released in February 2017

The last three members are also in production, so you can look forward to completing the Aquors Nendoroid set!! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

But anyway, let’s get back to Ruby!! ♪

Just like the previous characters, Ruby is wearing her stage outfit from the song “Aozora Jumping Heart”! The frills of her skirt as well as the details on the sailor-style outfit have all been not just painted, but sculpted onto the design for a more faithful rendition in figure form! ♥

The clasps on her suspenders make use of a metallic paint to capture the texture nicely! ☆

▲ So much detail on a figure that stands just 100mm in height!

Along with the innocent and cheerful smiling face above, she also comes with a second face plate with a troubled expression! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

▲ The upward gaze combined with the worried eyebrows!!
You can’t help but want to just to her side and protect her!!

She comes with various hand parts as well which allow for poses such as the above pose of her pushing her skirt down, or instead pose her with her hands clenched up toward her face for a different adorable pose!

The various arms and leg parts also allow you to recreate a couple of scenes from the opening theme, but also allow for lots of original poses! (*´ｪ`*)

Be sure to add the adorable little Ruby to your collection!

Nendoroid Tracer: Classic Skin Edition (Overwatch)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

It’s starting to warm up here in Japan but it’s still rather chilly for this time of year! I hope the cherry blossoms bloom soon!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Tracer: Classic Skin Edition!

From the globally popular multiplayer first-person shooter ‘Overwatch’ comes a Nendoroid of Tracer! The Nendoroid comes complete with a variety of optional parts to add effects for her abilities, interchangeable bent legs, and hair options that can cover up her eyes to recreate her iconic poses from the game!

Also included are Tracer’s trademark pulse pistols, along with open hand parts to pose her as without her guns, like when she activates her recall ability. Equip her pulse bomb to pose Tracer activating her ultimate ability! The Nendoroid is fully articulated, allowing her to be posed in many different ways, and has been carefully sculpted and tuned to ensure that the joints do not stand out, keeping Tracer’s unique appearance in tact. Be sure to add the first of the Overwatch Nendoroid series to your collection!

“Cheers, love! The cavalry’s here!”

From the multiplayer first-person shooter that has become popular all over the world ‘Overwatch’ comes the first Nendoroid from the series: Tracer!!

When she was announced back in February it was quite the surprise announcement, so I’m sure many fans were quite excited!! (；・`ω・´)

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

From her trademark orange-tinted goggles to the slightly boyish hair style with its soft and bouncy appearance on top have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size! ♪

The details on her outfit have also been carefully sculpted, including the unique open collar area as well as her rolled-up sleeves! There are so many aspects that make her so unique as a Nendoroid!

The difference in textures between the various parts of the figure are reproduced with glossy and matte paints to bring out the shine on certain areas! ☆

Another thing to note is that Nendoroid Tracer is a fully articulated Nendoroid with flexible joints in her elbows, knees and more allowing for all sorts of posing opportunities! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

Perhaps the best thing about this is that even though she is so highly articulated she has also been very carefully sculpted and tuned to ensure that the joints do not stand out but still keep her unique appearance in tact!

Nendoroid Tracer comes with both the lovely innocent smiling face you can see above, while the second is a more relaxed smile which you can see below!

You may have also noticed there are holes on her hands in the photo above – this is in fact so that you can pose her with her hands open while still holding her pulse pistols as if she had just activated her recall ability!!

On that note, she also of course comes complete with her Pulse Pistols! Not only that, but her Pulse Bomb ultimate is also included for even more fun!!

▲ Simply move her around and find a pose you like!

She also comes with effect parts to recreate her blink ability which are not shown in my photos, but you can find them on the official product page!

Another fun little feature is that her front hair is attached with a joint which means…

You can pose her blowing her hair out of her eyes like she does in her heroic highlight intro! The face plate with her mouth in a blowing position is also included! ♥

The sculpt of her lips is quite different to most Nendoroids – it has a more defined appearance to better suit the original design! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

▲ The eyes are made to look up at her hair giving her a rather cute upward glance! (∩・∀・)∩

We also made a quick promotional video to show her off from a few more angles, so be sure to take a look!

Whether you want to enjoy her as an action figure or simply display her in your collection as a lovely rendition of Tracer, be sure you don’t miss out on the first of the Overwatch Nendoroids! ★
Nendoroid Tracer: Classic Skin Edition!

She is currently up for preorder!
