Nendoroid Arisa Ichigaya (BanG Dream!)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Arisa Ichigaya!

From the anime series BanG Dream! comes a Nendoroid of Poppin’Party’s keyboardist, Arisa Ichigaya! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a smiling expression as well as a bit of an embarrassed angry expression.

Optional parts include her keyboard allowing you to display her performing live, as well as a keyboard case 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 recreate all sorts of different situations in Nendoroid size!

“A pleasure to meet you. My name is Arisa Ichigaya.”

The Poppin’Party keyboardist who isn’t very honest with her self and tends to have a bit of a sharp tongue: Arisa Ichigaya is joining the Nendoroids!! ♥

She is the second Nendoroid from BanG Dream! following on from the previously announced Nendoroid Kasumi Toyama!

Nendoroid Kasumi Toyama

▲ Currently up for preorder! ☆

Plus we also have the other members on the way!

Nendoroid Rimi Ushigome

Nendoroid Saya Yamabuki / Tae Hanazono

But let’s get back to Arisa for now!

The lovely little twirls of her twin-tails have been captured so beautifully in Nendoroid size, and both sides are connected with a joint allowing for various different nuances when posing! ♪

Her school uniform also looks lovely with the pleated skirt and golden buttons… such lovely attention to detail really makes her a treat for the eyes! Plus we can’t ignore the fact that even in Nendoroid size her bosom is rather impressive!! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

Arisa also of course comes with her keyboard, and as you can see the various keys and adjustment dials have all been included for a lovely rendition!

▲ It has been shrunk down to Nendoroid size, but there is still a ton of detail!

Even the back has a logo and name for a realistic design! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ A pointing hand part allows for her to reach out to her fans during a concert!

She also comes with a keyboard case which she can carry on her back!

She also comes with a lovely smiling expression which you can combine with the case to display her cheerfully on her way to band practice with the other Poppin’Party members! *｡(●´Д｀人´Д｀●)｡* ﾟ

▲ A smile with no troubles!! She is so cute!

Moving on to her third face plate…

An angry expression that suits her character so well!

The puffed-up look of the expression makes her look so cute, if maybe a little immature!

▲Looking from an angle above gives you a better feel for her smaller stature! ☆

The story is still continuing as Poppin’Party continues to improve, but in the meantime don’t miss out on adding the adorable Arisa to your collection!

Nendoroid Arisa Ichigaya!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♪

In addition, purchases from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Special Background Sheet for Nendoroids as a bonus!

Nendoroid Atsuko Kagari (Little Witch Academia)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Even if I could use magic I don’t think I would ever be able to ride on a broom. Just the other day one of my friends even told me they don’t think I’d be able to float more than a few inches off the ground…

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

From the anime series ‘Little Witch Academia’ comes a Nendoroid of the witch apprentice who looks up to Shiny Chariot – Atsuko Kagari! She comes with three face plates including a cheerful smiling expression, an expression with sparkling eyes for when she gets excited about magic as well as a flustered expression that captures her personality perfectly!

Optional parts include her staff, broom and the Shiny Rod, and she even comes with rabbit ears to recreate the scene where she failed to cast transformation magic. Be sure to add the always excited and cheerful Akko to your Nendoroid collection!

“My magic is a heart that has faith!!”

A Nendoroid of the character who saw a show by Shiny Chariot which made her decide to become a witch – Atsuko Kagari, perhaps better known as Akko!! ♥

Her eyes filled with curiosity, lovely smile and semi-long hairstyle with cute bangs have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size! Her Luna Nova Academy uniform has also been faithfully preserved in lovely detail for fans to enjoy!!

▲ The shirt and ribbon under the cloak can also just be seen! ♪

This is how she looks from the back! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

▲ The large size of the hat for the Nendoroid is rather adorable! ☆

In her hand she can be seen holding her magic wand, but the wand can also be posed holding another item that has to be included with any witch! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

Which is of course her broom!!

In addition, this photo also shows off the first of her alternate face plates which is a face with sparkling eyes! This captures Akko when she gets all excited before flying magic classes!! ♡

Plus as you may have noticed, her witch hat can also be removed allowing for even more posing opportunities! Once the hat is removed the hair at the back can be attached with a ball joint allowing you to move it around for different nuances!

She can also be posed flying on the broom!

~ Tia Freyre! ~

– IDEAL –

– REALITY –

Which brings us to her third face plate – a flustered expression perfect for when she makes mistakes in her magic! Another part which is perfect with this face plate is…

~ Metamorphie Faciesse! ~

Akko comes with bunny ears that slip in-between her front and back hair parts which allow you to display her not quite transforming correctly with the animal metamorphosis spell! They might even fir on certain other characters for even more fun possibilities! (∩・∀・)∩

And last but not least…

The Shining Rod is also included!

Akko is so straightforward and honest with her feelings and they really come out on the Nendoroid! You can just imagine her talking about Shining Chariot with this lovely sparkling smile on her face as she holds up the Shining Rod with pride!!

Here are all the optional parts lined up!

Together with the hat and alternate face plates, there are so many different options!! Be sure to add the cute witch-in-training to your collection!

Nendoroid Atsuko Kagari!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♪

In addition, purchases of Nendoroid Akko from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Special Round Base as a bonus!!

Be sure to consider it when preordering!!

There is also currently a Little Witch Academia x animate Cafe collaboration cafe going on! I wrote a blog on it which you can find below, but unfortunately it’s only available in Japanese at the moment! ★

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

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Ushio Kai-II!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the 10th Ayanami-class destroyer in her upgraded form – Ushio Kai-II! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression as well as an uneasy expression and a crying expression that both match up with her apprehensive personality.

Her ship parts, camouflage patterns, turrets and even the little animal print on the belts around her legs have all been faithfully captured in Nendoroid size! She also comes with effect parts to display her firing her turrets and torpedoes allowing you to pose her in battle scenes! A bag filled with roasted sweet potato is also included to bring out the feeling from her limited Autumn illustration in the game! Be sure to add Nendoroid Ushio Kai-II to your collection and give her the confidence she needs to succeed!

“Nendoroid Ushio, heading out!”

The 10th Ayanami-class destroyer in her upgraded form is joining the Nendoroids! Her cute sailor uniform, headband, twirl in her hair, gentle eyes and of course her ship parts have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size!

▲ The little ship parts around the edges of her skirt are also included!

TThis is how she looks from the back! ♪

The camouflage patterns on her ship parts as well as the belts around her legs have all been preserved in Nendoroid size! She is a little work of art!

Along with all these details and ship parts she also comes with two lovely alternate face plates! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The first of which is this uneasy expression!

I can just imagine her whispering “I-I’ve found an enemy ship…“

The expression really brings out her personality nicely, and those sunken eyebrows make me wish I could jump to her side and protect her!

If you combine this expression with the turret and torpedo firing effect parts you can pose her in battle against her enemy with a bit of a worried look on her face! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

▲ From this angle you can see the little bunny mark on her turret!

Plus as I’m sure you’ve noticed the barrels on the hand-hold turret can be moved around to better match your poses!

Moving onto her third face plate…

A crying expression! (/ω＼)

Maybe not quite crying… but she really looks like she is about to burst into tears!!! It’s just too adorable!!

In the pose above she is also crossing her arms over her chest similar to the way she looks in her half-damaged illustration, which is actually where this expression originally comes from!! Somehow it makes me feel like I’m doing something to her that I shouldn’t be doing…

If you move the arms out of the way not only do you get to see her chest a little better and you’ll also notice that there is a nice gap between her top and her skirt for a little peek at her belly button!

▲ Even as a Nendoroid she has rather impressive curves!

The figure is so much fun to look around from all sorts of different angles! Even if she is looking at me about to burst into tears which I do feel a little bad about!!

Plus as always with the KanColle Nendoroids she also comes with food parts! This time around its a bag of roasted sweet potatoes! ♥

“Sweet potatoes always taste best in Autumn“

Partially recreate the Autumn limited graphic from the game!! (∩・∀・)∩

You can also combine it with the crying expression…!

▲ This expression is ready to tell so many different stories!

Be sure to add the 10th Ayanami-class destroyer to your collection!
Nendoroid Ushio Kai-II!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 14th March!

Plus as usual, purchases from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a ‘Nendoroid Ushio Kai-II Special Box Sleeve & Special Nendoroid Base as a bonus!

*The base will be a standard 8cm x 8cm base.

Be sure to consider it when preordering! (●´Д｀人´Д｀●)

Nendoroid Leonardo Watch (Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We’re into March!! Today we started entries for 2018 new graduates to join the GSC ranks! We look forward to seeing many applicants!! (∩・∀・)∩

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

From the anime series with a second season on the way, ‘Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond’ comes a Nendoroid of the main character with the “All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods”, Leonardo Watch! The Nendoroid also includes Sonic Speed Monkey to display by his side! Leonardo comes with three faces plates including a relaxed standard expression, an expression with his eyes open making use of his powers as well as a crying expression.

Optional parts include his goggles, backpack and camera as well as a hamburger and effect parts for his powers. He also comes with a text plate based on the introduction of his character to display with him! Be sure to add Nendoroid Leonardo Watch to your collection in preparation for the upcoming second season!

“Simple eyes, obey my command.”
From the anime series with a second season on the way, ‘Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond’ comes a Nendoroid of the member of the secret organization Libra, Leonardo Watch! His ruffled, casual hairstyle, comfortable looking outfit and super-relaxed expression all capture Leo’s personality so nicely in Nendoroid size! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

He comes with the Sonic Speed Monkey to sit atop his head!

Those big round eyes are so cute! His head can be moved left and right to better suit various different poses! ♡

In his hand he holds a rather large looking hamburger!! ☆

▲The bread roll, patty, lettuce and the paper wrapping all lovely and detailed!
The bite he had taken out of the hamburger is also a nice addition!

Looking at it reminds me of his talks with Nej! (/ω＼)

Other optional parts include his yellow backpack as well as the yellow camera that Sonic stole in episode one! ♪

▲An alternate stand that connects to the bottom of the backpack is included!

The memorable character introduction scene can also be recreated by making use of the included character introduction plate! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

▲ You can place it in front of or behind the figure!

Plus, the goggles around his neck…

Can be worn!! (´□｀｡)

Along with the little goggles around his neck, he also comes with larger parts that can be placed on his face plates! ♪

* Note that the goggles are specially sculpted for Leonardo Watch only!

Plus he also comes with alternate neck parts that don’t have the goggles around his neck to completely switch over to worn mode! He also comes with effect parts…

For this kind of effect! ∩( ✧ω✧　)∩

* The effect parts connect into his front hair parts!

Leo’s All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods!
Which brings us to his second face plate…

A face plate using his power!

The sudden change in atmosphere from the laid-back standard expression is amazing! The tense eyebrows and frowning mouth… he is suddenly so much more serious! The patterns in his eyes are also amazingly detailed for their size! Just look at them and be pulled in….!

His third face plate is a crying expression!

Leo often finds himself getting involved in various things that he doesn’t want to deal with and this captures a scene of his unhappiness in one of those cases! Sonic can be displayed separately from Leo himself allowing for poses like the one above! It’s like he is looking up at Leo and wondering why he is crying!

Attaching the goggles to this expression makes for yet another rather different feeling! ♪

▲ It’s as if he is preparing for a big shock to hit him!

I also recommend using the crying expression with his introduction plate! ♡

▲ I really love this face plate! (*´ｪ`*)

Be sure to add the All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods to your collection!
Nendoroid Leonardo Watch!

Up for preorder from tomorrow!

Purchases from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Leonardo Watch as a bonus! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ♪

Another item going up for preorder tomorrow, is…
Nendoroid More: Face Parts Case (Penguin)!

‘Nendoroid More’ is a series of products created to make Nendoroids even more enjoyable, and the latest addition to the series is a new face parts case with a penguin theme! The cases allow you to store up to two spare expression parts inside while also having a cute appearance to put on display – which means that even your spare parts will have a place in your collection!

From the back you can see the little penguin tail!

This product doesn’t come with any face plates but can be used to store your spares and look cute at the same time!

▲ You can of course use it to hold Nendoroid Leonardo Watch’s face plates as well!

Be sure to consider it too!

Also don’t forget that Max Factory is working on figma from the series!

Stay tuned for updates~! ★

Nendoroid Izuminokami Kanesada (Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-)

Greetings everyone! Chan-shuu from Good Smile Company’s planning team here! (@gscs_hirase)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at ORANGE ROUGE‘s…
Nendoroid Izuminokami Kanesada!!

From the popular browser and smartphone game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the awesome and powerful sword Izuminokami Kanesada! He comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a combat expression as well as a smiling expression that fits many of his lines from the game!

His sword can be displayed both sheathed or drawn allowing you to recreate various scenes from the game!! Be sure to add him to your collection together with Nendoroid Horikawa Kunihiro who will be available for preorder at the same time!

“I am Izuminokami Kanesada! I am awesome, powerful and recently one of the most popular swords!”

The sword said to be used by Hijikata Toshizou, the vice-commander of Shinsengumi! Izuminokami Kanesada is joining the Nendoroids!! This is the sixth uchigatana to join the Nendoroid Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- series! The alternating white-blue horizontal stripes on his haori jacket show his association with the Shinsengumi, and also contrasts so nicely with the deep red kimono he is wearing!

▼This is how he looks from the back!

▲Such lovely lustrous hair!!

From the front his hair already looks magnificent, but from the back you can see all the way down to the tips which really show off just how much volume his hair has!! The red string that ties to two sides together in the middle has also been faithfully included, giving a little touch of cuteness to the manly Izuminokami! (*´ω｀*)

▼Note the details on his equipment and accessories!

▲The earrings, back of his hand and the armor around his hips!

He has rather fancy earrings and although they are tiny in Nendoroid size that have been carefully sculpted to look just as they do in his original designs! The covers on the back of his hand and the various shapes and patterns on the tassets and area around his hips are also amazingly intricate!

▲ The details on the tip of the scabbard! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

This really is challenging the limits of the amount of detail we can put onto Nendoroids! Such tiny little details are often omitted from the Nendoroid designs, but Izuminokami is too awesome to not include as much as possible!!

▼ The haori jacket features articulation!

▼▼▼▼

▲This allows for more dynamic poses!

Normally the haori sticks directly to the shape of his body, but this movement allows you to pose him with it fluttering around him which can make for some really epic poses that suit an epic character! The kanji on the back of the hoari reads ‘Truth’ – a symbol of the shinsengumi!

▼Time for some combat poses!

▲”Alright, let’s get this started!“

His combat expression has gritted teeth and one eye shut! He looks to be having quite a rough battle!

▼ Combat Pose #2!

▲ Swinging downward!

The various included parts allow for all sorts of different posing opportunities! You can see the haori jacket is posed quite opened out for this display!

▼As usual…

▲ The base features his emblem!

This is the same style as all the previously released Touken Ranbu Nendoroids!

▼Nendoroid Horikawa Kunihiro will also be up for preorder at the same time!

▲Izuminokami Kanesada’s reliable partner Horikawa Kunihiro!

He’ll be introduced on the blog on the 5th March!!

Anyway, that’s all from me today! I hope to see you all again soon! (・ω・)ノシ

Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov (YURI!!! on ICE)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov!

From the popular anime series ‘YURI!!! on ICE’ comes a Nendoroid of the living legend of the figure skating world – Victor Nikiforov! He comes with three face plates including a gentle standard expression, a playful winking expression as well a smiling expression with a heart-shaped mouth!

Optional parts include a gold medal as well as bouquet parts to display him as the top figure skater in the world, and his beloved pet poodle Makkachin is also included to display beside him!! Be sure to display him with the previously announced Nendoroid Yuri Katsuki! Be sure to enjoy the prodigy figure skater in your Nendoroid collection!

“I won’t hold back, but that is just a part of my love.”

From the anime series that quickly gained popularity around the world, “YURI!!! on ICE” comes a Nendoroid of the charismatic ice skater who prides himself in on being able to surprise people, Victor Nikiforov! His lovely grey hair, transparent blue eyes and overall mature air have all been captured nicely on the Nendoroid!

His prototype was revealed at WonFes last weekend, so I don’t think anyone expected him to become painted and available for preorder so soon!

This is already the second Nendoroid from YURI!!! on ICE! ☆

⇒ You can find Nendoroid Yuri Katsuki’s info here!!

If we take a look from the back you can see the lovely gentle flow of his hair!

▲ The slight two-layered appearance looks lovely! (/ω＼)

He is wearing his outfit from the finale of the Grand Prix, so he also comes complete with a bouquet and a gold medal to pose him showing off his victory!

▲ That elegant appearance is preserved even in Nendoroid form!

Along with the playful winking expression above, he also comes with a gentle standard expression which allows you to see both of his lovely blue eyes!

His mouth looks so sexy…!

While I was taking photos of him I kept somehow imagining that the Nendoroid should have a clean, sweet and somewhat sexy aroma to it! It just looks like there should be a nice scent to him. Obviously he is nothing more than a figure and it was all in the mind, but it shows how much one sense can influence the others in my mind!

Just like Nendoroid Yuri Katsuki he also comes with bent arm and leg parts which allow for all sorts of poses! ♥

Moving onto his third expression, we have an adorable smile with his iconic heart-shaped mouth!! (*´♡`*)

This face is so cute it just leaves me speechless!!

Not to mention the adorable little Makkachin beside him!! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

Makkachin’s head can be moved left and right for different nuances! ♪

This expression also works very nicely with the katsudon parts that are included with Nendoroid Yuri Katsuki!

▲ The katsudon and chopstick parts are included with Yuri, not Victor!

One of the best things about Nendoroids is that you can swap parts around the characters like this for all sorts of options! Another example is to switch this around and use some of Victor’s parts on Yuri!

▲ A story in the making!

Nendoroids also generally make use of the same joints for their heads, so you can also completely swap out the body between characters to create something amazing like this!!! ☆

▲ Doesn’t he look marvelous!! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

Victor is a huge amount of fun by himself, but combining him with Nendoroid Yuri allows for even more fun! Recreate your favorite scenes from the series and come up with all original scenes as well!!

Be sure to add the adorable living legend to your collection!
Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

In addition, if you choose to purchase him from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will also receive this Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Victor Nikiforov as a bonus!!

*You can find the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP here!

But that’s not all! We also have another product going up for preorder tomorrow!

Nendoroid Plus Dress Up Acrylic Key Ring: YURI!!! On ICE (Yuri Katsuki / Victor Nikiforov / Yuri Plisetsky)

Special acrylic key rings that come with a little plate that can be placed on top of the main plate to dress them up in a different outfit!! ♪

A key chain as well as a pin to connect the plate on top are also included that isn’t shown in the images! Also note that this product will be available prior to release at AnimeJapan 2017 taking place from the 23rd March – 26th March 2017!

Nendoroid Lancer/Scáthach (Fate/Grand Order)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Lancer/Scáthach!

From the popular game ‘Fate/Grand Order’ comes a Nendoroid of the Queen of Dun Scaith – Scáthach! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a shouting expression for combat as well as a cute smiling expression.

She also comes with special magical spear effect parts to display her unleashing her power with her Noble Phantasm ‘Gae Bolg Alternative’! Be sure to add the proud queen with her striking red eyes to your collection!

“Someone who can kill me? As if they exist.”

From Fate/Grand Order comes a Nendoroid of Lancer/Scáthach! The tight fitting outfit and the armor on her arms and legs are so lovely and detailed!! You get a good feeling for how tight they outfit is by looking at the little belly button showing through the fabric! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

▲The grip of the lance faithfully keeps the shape in Nendoroid size! ♪

This is how she looks from the back! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

▲ Such lovely, long hair flowing behind her!

Her standard face plate is a rather hard to read expression, but she also comes with a more forceful shouting expression, perfect for combat scenes!

▲ The change in expression makes her suddenly look much more threatening!

She comes with both left and right hand parts to hold her lances, allowing you to display her wielding a single lance or dual-wielding both of them! ★

Plus…!

She also comes with a magical lance effect part to pose her making use of her Noble Phantasm ‘Gae Bolg Alternative’!

In other words, she comes with both two lances as well as the magical lance effect as possible weapons! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

▲ Simply select the parts that best suit your display! ♪

Moving on to her third face plate…

She comes with a smiling face!

The contrast between the gentle smile and the more conserved standard expression is so very enjoyable! ♪

Which side of the Queen of Dun Scaith comes out is all up to you to decide!

Be sure to add the red-eyed proud queen to your collection!

Nendoroid Hanamaru Kunikida (LoveLive! Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

On cold winter days I like to drink some nice warm, sweet red bean soup! But anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Hanamaru Kunikida!★

From the anime series ‘LoveLive!Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Aqours member Hanamaru Kunikida wearing her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’! She comes with both a cute smiling expression as well as an expression with sparkling eyes and her mouth open in amazement!

A selection of different parts are also included which allow you to pose her in different dance poses from the opening theme of the anime series, and the ‘Noppo’ bread from Shizuoka is also included in Nendoroid size! Be sure to enjoy her together with the other members of Aqours! ♪

“We live in the future, zura!”

The gentle, considerate idol who has a beautiful singing voice – Hanamaru Kunikida is joining the Nendoroids!! She comes with various interchangeable arms and leg parts to help recreate the dancing scenes from the opening theme – including the cute kitty pose!!ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

▲ The details of her earrings, hat and more are also lovely!

The lovely little smile together with the ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’ outfit all come together to create such a cute appearance! There is also something about it that gives her a more mature appearance as well though! ♡

This is how she looks from the back! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ The details of her skirt and all the frills have been beautifully sculpted! ♪

The outfit is the same style that Nendoroid You Watanabe is wearing! A mini-skirt together with short pants! On that note, this is the fifth member from Aqours to join the Nendoroid collection! ♡

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

She comes with a lovely a alternate face plate with her mouth wide open and her eyes sparkling with excitement!!

The expression has such a cheerful and innocent feel to it that really brings out Hanamaru’s personality so nicely!! Plus it’s just so very cute!! (*´﹃｀*) ♥

Plus she comes with the perfect parts to display with this expression…

The Noppo bread from Shizuoka!

This bread was a rather memorable item in the series, so we decided to include it with her Nendoroid too!! Even the packaging with the giraffe illustration has been faithfully reproduced in Nendoroid size! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Just look how happy she looks while enjoying her delicious Noppo bread!!

Nendoroid Nagato (Kantai Collection KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

This weekend is WonFes!! Along with various items on sale we will also have many brand new figure announcements and prototypes on display! Look forward to the weekend! ♪

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

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the first Nagato-class battleship – Nagato! She comes with three face plates including a confident standard expression, a shouting expression for combat as well as a gentle smiling expression. Her four turrets are all separately articulated for all sorts of posing options, and each come with their own effect parts to display her lighting up the ocean in battle!

The Nendoroid also comes with a bamboo broom and apron which fans may recognize, as well as a glass of orange juice which all allow you to display her in some less militaristic poses! Be sure to add the super-dreadnought and pride of the Japanese navy to your collection and enjoy all sorts of different situations in Nendoroid size!

“Created as the first battleship of the Eight-Eight Fleet Program, I am the nameship of the Nagato-class battleships – Nagato.”

A super-dreadnought battleship that was the pride of the Japanese navy is joining the Nendoroid series! Her long black hair, pointed eyes, huge ship parts and equally impressive bust… everything about Nagato has been faithfully captured in Nendoroid size!! ♡

As a side note, Nagato is the 35th KanColle Nendoroid excluding any of the abyssal ships! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

▲ You can hardly see her back due to sheer size of the ship parts!

The four different turrets are all independently articulated allowing you to display to suit all sorts of different situations! ☆

▲ Posed gallantly cruising along the ocean! ♪

Along with her rather serious standard expression, she also comes with a shouting face plate to pose her chasing down the enemy fleet in battle!

“All cannons, prepare barrage! FIRE!“

She also of course comes with firing effect parts for ALL of her turrets, which really shows off her impressive firepower! But that’s not all…!

“Don’t underestimate the power of the Big Seven.“

The ship parts can open out to the left and right to pose her fully deployed for attack! The fiery effect parts look great with Nagato, but I could also see them looking great on some other KanColle Nendoroids as well! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ The sculpt makes them look like very wild flames!

You may have noticed from the last photo that the turrets themselves are also highly articulated! Just take a look at this animation to get a better idea!

The ability to move them around so much more playability to the figure! Be sure to play around with each turret until you find the perfect look! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Anyway, I’ve gone through the more serious side of Nagato, but I’m sure lots of fans also want to display her with a more everyday kind of look, which is why her third face plate is a much more gentle smiling expression! ♡

(She looks like a kind neighbourhood land lady here!!)

A bamboo broom as well as an apron are also included which suit the gentle expression so nicely! ε- (´ー`*)

▲ The creases in the apron are so nicely sculpted!

As a side note, the parts work with her shouting expression too! ♪

▲ You can also have her hold the broom this way up!

Last but not least!

A glass of orange juice from the navy base counter bar!

It might be a non-alcoholic drink, but this pose makes her look a bit like she is inviting you to come drink with her!! The Nendoroid allows you to enjoy poses from epic combat scenes to more everyday drinking and cleaning scenes! Simply select the pose that you think suits her best – or mix it up whenever you feel like a change! ♥

A Nendoroid of one of the Big Seven!
Nendoroid Nagato!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Plus as usual, purchases from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a ‘Nendoroid Nagato’ Special Box Sleeve & Special Nendoroid Base as a bonus!

*The base will be a standard 8cm x 8cm base.

Be sure to consider it when preordering! (●´Д｀人´Д｀●)
