Let’s take a closer look at them! ♪

Nendoroid Kiso (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Christmas is coming up and it falls on a weekend!! Although I think it’ll just be your everyday weekend in my case! Perhaps I’ll buy a really sweet cake to enjoy by myself!

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

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the 5th Kuma Class Light Cruiser – Kiso! The Nendoroid is based on Kiso Kai-II, but also comes with interchangeable parts that allow you to almost completely recreate her normal version as well. She also comes with a ‘too sweet’ Christmas cake as her food part, which comes as both a single slice as well as the rest of the cake!

Her normal ship parts make use of a Nendoroid joint and a flexible arm part, while the torpedo tubes on the Kai-II parts can be transformed to fire two loadouts simultaneously to show off her enhanced combat abilities! The included torpedo effect parts are designed as zero-distance torpedo explosion parts used when enemy ships are close on port or starboard!

She comes with both a valiant standard expression as well as a shouting expression for combat scenes and her sword can be displayed both drawn and sheathed allowing for all sorts of posing options! Be sure to add the powerful Nendoroid Kiso to your collection and enjoy a glorious victory with her by your side!

“You’re still worried? Just believe in me.”

The 5500 ton light cruiser with a confident attitude toward anything – the Kuma-class ship Kiso is joining the Nendoroids!! Even in chibi size her sharp eyes, confident mouth and the peek at her belly button through her outfit have all been preserved perfectly!! (´ー`*)

The accessories around her hips, her sabre and cape have all been beautifully sculpted!

▲ Even the inside of the cape has been painted red!

Her ship parts feature a northern camouflage pattern giving an intimidating appearance even from the back! (/ω・)

▲ The fluttering of her cape and the golden accessories look lovely!

She comes with two face plates including her fearless standard expression as well as a shouting combat expression!

Plus as you probably noticed, her hat can be removed and her sword can also be drawn from its scabbard! She suddenly looks ready for battle!!

In addition, if you remove this section on the ship parts and then spin them around… I can’t really explain it with words, so I instead decided to make a GIF! (∩・∀・)∩

I hope this made sense to someone!!

Once this part is removed and deployed like above…

“So weak!!“

You can display the torpedo launchers firing two loadouts at once!

In addition, the torpedo launchers also come with these zero-distance torpedo effect parts! ♪

▲ I think this is the first time we’ve seen this shape for effect parts! (灬ºωº灬)

PLUS! Her ship parts, legs and skirt all come with interchangeable parts…

Which allow you to display her in her normal version!

▲ Her eyepatch and shoulder armor are also come in normal mode!★

Without her cape she suddenly looks like a much younger character!

The ship parts even have ‘Kiso‘ written on them! ♪

▲Her normal version has a non-pleated skirt that flutters about more!

To summarize… the Nendoroid not only comes with a selection of effect parts for combat scenes, but she can also be displayed in both Kai-II and normal mode allowing for a huge selection of display opportunities!! ♡

But that’s still not all! There is one type of optional part that is always included with KanColle Nendoroids! The food accessory!

“Christmas… I guess it’s not that bad.“

She comes complete with a Christmas cake that’s ‘far too sweet’ for her! Also note the little fork for her to hold the slice! ♪

There is even a chocolate plate on the top! ♥

▲ The slight bumps on the side for layered icing is also lovely!

You can also take the slice with the fork in it and put in back in for a full cake instead!

Be sure to add the cute and confident cruiser to your collection! ☆

Nendoroid Kiso!

She will be up for preorder from the 8th December!

As usual, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will come with a ‘Nendoroid Kiso’ Special Box Sleeve & Special Nendoroid Base as a bonus!

Be sure to consider it when preordering!

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

Plus we also have many more KanColle Nendoroids on the way! Look forward to them!!

Nendoroid Hajime Iwaizumi (Haikyu!!)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

Nendoroid Hajime Iwaizumi!

From ‘Haikyu!!’, the volleyball anime series with a third season currently airing, comes a Nendoroid of Aobajohsai High School’s volleyball team vice-captain and ace spiker, Hajime Iwaizumi! He comes with three face plates including his standard expression, a provoking expression as well as the angry expression he would sometimes have when Oikawa teases him.

The Nendoroid allows you to recreate a number of memorable scenes from the series and comes with a volleyball as well as a special base made in the image of a volleyball court. An alternate upper body part to display him wearing his sports jersey is also included! Be sure to add the spirited and handsome Iwa-chan to your collection and recreate all sorts of different situations!

“The team that work better as six is stronger, you idiot!”

The powerful wing spiker and vice-captain for Aobajohsai High School’s volleyball team is joining the Nendoroids! Hajime Iwaizumi! His spiky hairstyle and sharp eyes have all been converted into Nendoroid size so perfectly! Even in chibi-size he looks so very handsome!

As with the other Haikyu!! Nendoroid he comes with a volleyball part complete with a stand to create poses of him in a volleyball match! ♪

Iwa-chan’s Spike!

That confident look on his face that is sure to give his team the inspiration they need to win the match!! Along with the standard expression above, he also comes with a provoking expression ready to take on anyone! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

If you combine this expression with a pose og him rolling his sleeves back it really captures his high morale before a match! I really love the way this expression came out!

Plus… take a closer look at his arm!

You can see he is showing off his muscles!! (´□｀｡)
(Even on a Nendoroid we have proof of Iwa-chan’s strength! Yay!)

His third expression is this angry expression!

I can just imagine him insulting Oikawa!!

Displaying this Iwa-chan together with Nendoroid Toru Oikawa and his playful expression makes for some fun poses from the everyday life of the Aobajohsai High School’s volleyball team! ♪

▲ Enjoy the relationship of these two in Nendoroid size!

Changing the angle of his neck makes for an even more angry-looking expression!

（He may be angry… but the way he has so much strength put into his mouth is so cute!!)

Anyway, you may remember that Nendoroid Oikawa comes with a jacket that can be displayed over his shoulders… but Iwa-chan instead comes with an alternate upper body that is wearing the jacket! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ Teammates standing back-to-back on the court!

A pose that shows that they have each others back in the upcoming match! You can feel the strong bond between the two of them!

One of things about his jacket that really stood out to me was the way the one side is flapped open!

The right half of the jacket is flapping up in the wind creating that ‘cool guy’ effect!! The sleeves on Oikawa’s jacket were fitted with joints for slightly different poses, but the dynamic effect for Iwa-chan is included directly in the sculpt! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

If we take a look from the back…

The hem on the back is also blowing in the wind!

You can even get a little glimpse of the uniform he is wearing underneath the jacket which helps to create the feeling that he is really ‘wearing’ the jacket!! Plus let’s once again look at that amazing spiky hair!! (∩・∀・)∩

Along with the accessories and parts above, he also comes with various other interchangeable arm parts which allow you to recreate all sorts of scenes from the series as well as all original poses!

▲ Brofist making use of the clenched fist parts! (=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)

Enjoy the handsome Iwa-chan in Nendoroid size!
Nendoroid Hajime Iwaizumi!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Hajime Iwaizumi Mutual Understanding Ver. as a bonus!

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

Finally two quick related notices!

Note that no face plates are included with the face parts case! You’ll need to place your favorite Nendoroid expressions inside!

Nendoroid Megumi Kato (Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Megumi Kato!♡

From the popular anime series scheduled to air from April 2017 – ‘Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend ♭’ comes a Nendoroid of the main heroine Megumi Kato wearing her school uniform! Megumi is known to change her hairstyle frequently, and so the Nendoroid comes with different hairstyles to choose from including a bobcut, a ponytail and one secret hairstyle that will be revealed after release – a total of three different hairstyles on a single Nendoroid!

She also comes with three face plates including her standard expression, an embarrassed expression as well as an upset expression. She also comes with special parts to display her squatting with her hands on her cheeks, and her cellphone is also included for her to hold allowing you to pose her in all sorts of different situations.

“Make me a heroine that everyone else envies, okay?”

The main heroine from ‘Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend’ who excels at staying off the radar and never being noticed is joining the Nendoroid series!! She is wearing her Toyogasaki High School uniform which has been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size! Even the cross tie and the buttons on her jacket are intricately sculpted! ♪

Her bob-cut hairstyle with the bangs low down also look adorable in Nendoroid size… but this is in fact just one of three different hairstyles included with the Nendoroid!

The second hairstyle included is this ponytail!!

Those who have seen the anime may remember this hairstyle from episode seven! It’s amazing how much she changes with just a quick change of hairstyle – it’s almost like a completely different character! ♡

Short ponytails are quite uncommon compared to longer ponytails, but they certainly have their own special charm! ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

Another important thing to note is that it’s not only the back of the hairstyle that changes – the front hair parts also change for the different hairstyle!

The longer hair on the sides is all tied up at the back making for a more slimmed down appearance from the front!

However! The third hairstyle is going to remain a secret for now!

You’ll have to wait until release to see what the third hairstyle is!! For now we’re instead going to take a look at her face plates! ★

Along with her cheerful standard expression, she also comes with this embarrassed expression! ♥

S-She’s so adorable!!

The blush on her cheeks together with the unsure expression and the slightly opened up mouth…. and those worried eyebrows!! (/ω＼)

I tried to capture that troubled look by taking this photo with her eyes slightly off center as if she is trying to avert her eyes to hide her embarrassment! Little does she know it only makes it more obvious!!

An embarrassed Megumi extends her hand out to you…

Is just one of the many original situations you can create with the Nendoroid! I hope everyone will give her lots of love once she joins your collections!

The next face plate is an upset expression!

It’s quite close to the normally expressionless Megumi, but has a bit of an upset feel to it! I’m sure fans will find it quite memorable! She also comes with her smartphone from the series allowing you to pose her in even more scenes from the series or other original scenes! (∩・∀・)∩

Plus, these parts are also included!

Squatting Parts!ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

Plus she also has arm and hand parts to display her resting her chin in her hands! ♪

(If we look from a slightly lower angle we also get this! So close and yet so far!)

Even when bent legs are included with a Nendoroid, I don’t think I’ve ever paid this much attention to a Nendoroid’s knees!! That lovely round and smooth appearance just calling out to be touched!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

The squatting parts are made up of an alternate lower body part and an alternate skirt part, you simply need to attach it to the normal upper body part to complete the pose! Which of course means you can also easily use the squatting pose with a different hairstyle, expression and arm parts!

Simply select the parts that you think look the cutest! ♡

A Nendoroid that won’t go unnoticed in your collection!
Nendoroid Megumi Kato!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 2nd December!

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Acrylic ‘blessing software’ Nendoroid Base Keychain as a bonus!

A special Nendoroid base featuring the logo of the doujin circle ‘blessing SOFTWARE’! It’s also an acrylic base making it a little more high grade compared to the normal Nendoroid bases! It also comes with a chain so you can instead use it as a keychain should you wish! (・∀・)

*The bonus is still being finalized. The final design may change.

(｀・ω・ ).｡oO ( You can even create this palm-riding Megumi-chan!)

Plus we also have Nendoroids of both Utaha Kasumigaoka and Eriri Spencer Sawamura in development!! Look forward to them! ★

Nendoroid Mink (DRAMAtical Murder)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The other day I tried cinnamon milk for the first time! Warm milk with a cinnamon stick added to it together with some honey!! It’s so delicious and warm on a cold day and has that lovely cinnamon scent too!

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

From the PC game ‘DRAMAtical Murder’ comes a Nendoroid of the condemned convict who went through unfathomable despair – Mink! He comes with two face plates including his standard expression as well as an expression with closed eyes that can be used to convey all sorts of different emotions.

Optional parts include his beloved smoking pipe as well as the survival knife that fulfilled his wish. His parrot-type ‘ALL-MATE’ Tori is also included to display beside him. The details of his dreadlocks, handcuffs and other unique accessories have been sculpted with careful attention to detail. In addition, an injured expression for use on Nendoroid Aoba is also included, allowing you to recreate the scene where Mink imposes sanctions on Aoba.

“Do you understand the situation you’ve been put in?”

From the PC game ‘DRAMAtical Murder’ comes a Nendoroid of the convict that has a burning desire for revenge – Mink! His characteristic deadlock hair, the bandanna he wears low down over his eyes, the amazing black and red gradient on his coat, the aggressive look on his face… everything about Mink has been captured so effectively on the Nendoroid! ヽ(´∀`｡)ﾉ

Also note some of the smaller details such as the feather hair accessory, or the damaged parts of his outfit on the sleeves of the coat as well as on his knee!

Even for a Nendoroid this much attention to detail is quite uncommon!! Also note how the metal areas are painted with a metallic paint and the pearls on his bracelet also make use of a pearl paint for that shiny appearance! The different paint really helps to bring out the different textures on the figure!! ♪

This is how he looks from the back!

The back part of his deadlocks has also been faithfully sculpted!

The hair pulled to the back is also fitted with a Nendoroid joint allowing it to be moved around to better suit various different poses! Plus also note that the tips of the hair get gradually lighter! (・∀・)

As I’m sure you have noticed, Mink is also not alone!
He comes complete with his parrot-type ALL-MATE, Tori!!

Just like his Master Mink isn’t a very talkative parrot, but his soft feathery appearance has been captured beautifully!! The neck is also fitted with a ball joint allowing for slightly different poses! ♡

▲ Also note the eye-patch and cigar!

But anyway, let’s get back to Mink now! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Mink comes with an expression with closed-eyes as an alternate face plate!

The furled eyebrows make him look like he is in deep thought about something… yet in contrast his eyelids look like they have been closed rather gently! The expression can be used for all sorts of different emotions!

Plus if we take a closer look at the survival knife in his hand…

Blood!!!! (/ω＼)

It doesn’t look fresh, but rather like it has been on the blade for a little while… those who have played the game will know exactly what this blood stain means!!

In addition to the knife, he also comes with his smoking pipe!

At first glance Mink appears to have a very intimidating, powerful appearance… but on the other hand he also could be seen as off in his thoughts, or even praying for someone for with a very dignified appearance! As I mentioned before, the expression with closed eyes really captures all sorts of different emotions that can be used to recreate all sorts of situations! (･∀･)/

Mink also comes with a special part for Nendoroid Aoba!

A special injured face plate designed for Nendoroid Aoba to recreate the scene where Mink strangles Aoba is also included with Nendoroid Mink!

You’ll need to display him with the previously released Nendoroid Aoba & Ren to fully recreate the scene! As a side note, the actual scene has Mink using both hands, but the Nendoroid sized version instead has a one-handed version due to limitations with the Nendoroid design! (/ω＼)

Be sure to add the adorable head of Scratch to your collection!
Nendoroid Mink!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Be sure to keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company website as well as the ORANGE ROUGE website for more details! ♪

As with the previously released DRAMAtical Murder Nendoroids, Nendoroid Mink will also come with special package background sheet which will only be included with the first edition! The design will be announced on the ORANGE ROUGE Twitter account at a later date!
