Nendoroid Albedo

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

Nendoroid Albedo!

From the popular dark fantasy series ‘OVERLORD’ comes a Nendoroid of the Great Tomb of Nazarick’s Floor Guardians Overseer and top ranking NPC in Nazarick – Albedo! She comes with three face plates including her standard expression, a chibi excited expression and her characteristic aroused expression!

The various expressions allow you to pose her in various scenes from the anime – from her standard beautiful self to her rather unfortunate side when it comes to Ainz-sama. Be sure to display her together with the previously announced Nendoroid Ainz Ooal Gown!

The compassionate succubus in white!

The Great Tomb of Nazarick’s Floor Guardians Overseer Albedo from the popular series ‘OVERLORD’ is joining the Nendoroids!! ♥︎

Her curved goat-like horns, golden cat-like eyes, gentle smile and beautiful black wings have all been shrunk down into Nendoroid size for fans to enjoy by their side! Even that somewhat mysterious air about her character has been preserved in the Nendoroid design! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Not to mention her sexy dress!!

Her outfit’s unique design opens up to show off some skin not only at her chest but also at her thighs!!

DELICIOUS…!Anyway, let’s move onto her second expression part! The first expression has a gentle smile that shows off her compassionate side, but her second expression…

A much more comical excited expression!♡

This expression is based on the chibi anime series ‘Pure Pure Pleiades’! Even in her chibi form her love for Ainz-sama and hate for human society was always so clear! (●´ω｀●)

Moving on to her third expression, which is of course her…
Aroused Expression!

The expression she had whenever she thinks of her beloved Ainz-sama!! The pointed tips of her mouth and uplifted eyes have been captured so nicely with just the right about of cuteness added from the Nendoroid design! ♪

In other words, you can enjoy the elegant Albedo with her standard expression, enjoy her innocent cute side with the chibi excited expression, and enjoy the more twisted side of her love with the aroused expression!
Simply pick the Albedo that you prefer!!

Let’s also take a closer look at her outfit! The skirt has multiple layers of frills that have all been sculpted with such a beautiful flow! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

△ Also note the details on the ring and necklace!

The wing parts are connected with ball joints, allowing you to move them around to better suit you pose! ★

△ Her head part here has removed to better show the wings!

Enjoy the succubus in pure white in your collection…

Nendoroid Albedo!

She’ll be up for preorder from next week Tuesday! ★
Also don’t forget about her beloved, currently up for preorder…

Nendoroid Ainz Ooal Gown!

Be sure to display the two of them together!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Nendoroid Aoba Suzukaze

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The new graduates that joined us this year are currently moving between the different sections in the company as a part of their training! I remember doing the same thing when I first joined…

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

From the anime series scheduled to air in July 2016, ‘NEW GAME!’ (based on the manga by Shoutarou Tokunou serialized in Houbunsha’s Manga Time Kirara Carat) comes a Nendoroid of game developer Eagle Jump’s newest employee – Aoba Suzukaze! She comes with three face plates including a smiling face, an enthusiastic face as well as a rather upset whining face with tears and all!

The Nendoroid comes with parts to recreate various different poses, and also includes a variety of optional parts including a coffee cup, employee ID card, game-pad, speech balloon and even an alternate lower body part that allows you to display her sitting! Enjoy the struggles of the hard-working Aoba by your side in Nendoroid form!

“I’m Aoba Suzukaze! I look forward to working with you!”

From the anime series starting this Summer about a young working girl who starts her first job at a game company, ‘NEW GAME!’ comes a figure of the main character herself –Aoba Suzukaze!

As with most newcomers to the working world she is wearing a simple navy blue suit and her cute light purple twin-tails have been tied up with little flower accessories! Her expression looks so innocent and filled with curiosity and even her rather characteristic slippers have been transformed into Nendoroid size! (●´ω｀●)

The twin-tails are also fitted with joints to give some different nuances to poses!☆

△ Even the underside of her shoes clearly look lie slippers! ♪

Along with the bright and cheerful expression above, she also comes with this enthusiastic expression that shows she is ready to try her best at the new job!!

Ooooooooohhhh!! (´□｀｡)

She also comes with a speech balloon part to recreate the panel from the original manga that this expression is based on! The panel reads ‘I’m going to try my very best today!’, and comes with it’s own special stand to display beside her! ♥︎

You can also use this expression with the included coffee cup…

It looks like she is blowing on the coffee to cool it down! (✿´ ꒳ ` )

A little bit off topic, but the plastic insert cup she is using has always reminds me of the first time I started working in a company as well! I never really saw these kind of cups during my student years but they often seem to come out in company meetings! If you have similar cups in your offices you can enjoy a coffee break together with Aoba!! ★

Things like this coffee cup, the speech bubble and even this cheerful face make me want to put her on display next to my work desk right now! I want the inspiration! I’ll do my very best together with Aoba-chan!!

Anyway, let’s move onto her third expression which is when she keeps trying to do her very best but things just don’t go her way… (/ω＼)

A whining expression!

The wobbly looking mouth, tears in her eyes and those red cheeks show that she has had more than enough! You can see she has also removed the employee ID badge and thrown it down at her feet to show how she is feeling even more!!

However, the reason Aoba decided to join a company with all this stress is because she wanted to be a character designer for a game ever since she was a little girl! Which is why another part that just had to be included with her is this game pad!

Plus she also comes with sitting parts! ♪

I can’t be the only one that thinks girls look cute when sitting in work suits! As you can see her slippers can also be removed to reveal her cute little feet, which have actually been sculpted with such adorable little curves and balance! They really are so cute!! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

△ Close-up! I could look at these cute little feet for ages!

You can make use of the expressions to create a little story of her playing some games as well…
First she is enthusiastically playing…

But then…

It didn’t turn out how she hoped!

You can recreate all sorts of original situations with the Nendoroid! Be sure to enjoy Aoba in all sorts of different ways once she joins your collection!

Add Eagle Jump’s newest employee to your collection!
Nendoroid Aoba Suzukaze!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include this Game Pad (Manga ver.) as a bonus!

△ You can use this with the sitting part to recreate the 1st volume manga cover!

Be sure to consider it when preordering! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Finally a quick notice!

Nendoroid Ichimatsu Matsuno

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The yearly health check-up for GSC staff is coming up soon… as soon as I think about them drawing blood I start to get nervous!

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

Nendoroid Ichimatsu Matsuno!

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a Nendoroid of the fourth son of the Matsuno family, Ichimatsu! He comes with three face plates including his standard expression with eyes half-closed, a dark expression as well as a blank expression with a variety of different stickers for you to create your very own expression!

Optional parts include a face mask for when he is sick, ESP Kitty with a cat toy and a variety of different hand and leg parts to allow for all sorts of different poses! Be sure to display him with his other brothers who are also joining the Nendoroid series!

“Me? I’m the fourth son of the Matsuno family – Ichimatsu Matsuno.”

The sarcastic Matsuno brother who always takes things at his own pace and finds the best of friends in cats is joining the Nendoroid series!

The Nendoroid captures his character nicely with the slouching back, needlessly large hoodie, sandals, slightly messy hair and those sleepy half-closed eyes!! Not to mention that the ESP Kitty that played a rather big role in episode 5 of the series is also included to display beside him!

△ ESP Kitty’s neck is fitted with a joint for slightly different poses!

Ichimatsu’s standard standing pose has the back sculpted at a curve to recreate his slouch!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

△ The messy look of his hair also looks great!

Optional parts include a cat toy for the cat-loving Ichimatsu…

… as well as sitting parts to let him sit and pay with ESP Kitty!

Not only do these parts work great with the kitty, but when you display Ichimatsu together with the other brothers it really brings out his laid back personality in comparison with them! ♪

△ The half-closed eyes looking upward seem to match this pose perfectly!

Plus, he also comes with this expression!

A ‘Dark Matsu’ Expression!

The expression from the end of the rental girlfriend episode! The shadows around his eyes have been specifically colored a very dark color to keep that comically dark appearance even as a Nendoroid! ♪

The mask can also be removed…

To reveal a kind of scheming expression! (/ω＼)

I’m a little worried for as to what happened to Karamatsu after this photo was taken! As mentioned above the mask can be removed, but that also means that you can also attach it on to the other brothers as well!!

△ The mask fits in between the head and body parts to be hold in place!

I think it also looks really nice on Ichimatsu’s standard expression too!

△ It looks like he is about to lift the mask just to say something sarcastic! ♡

Just like the other Osomatsu-san Nendoroids he also comes with a blank expression as well as a set of expression stickers allowing you to choose what third expression you want for him! ★

△ You can even recreate all sorts of popular scenes!

By the way! You can also swap hand parts between characters to have them hold each others items!

This allows for even more fun and original and interesting situations to be had! ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

The Nendoroid series also allows you to swap head parts around, which means you can even recreate incidents like this!

△ More info about Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno here!

It’s not quite perfect fashion… but you can even dress him up in Karamatsu’s outfit and glasses! (ΦωΦ 三 ΦωΦ)

△ He is trying to practice his pretentious smile to be more like Karamatsu?

Enjoy the Osomatsu-san world right at your fingertips! They are great by themselves but so much more fun with the whole Matsuno brothers collection! (●´ω｀●)

A Nendoroid of the fourth Matsuno brother!

Nendoroid Ichimatsu Matsuno!

He’ll be up for preorder later today!!

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a special round base as well as two additional blank expressions! ☆

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

Also note that this product will be going up for preorder on the same day!

Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag (Ichimatsu Matsuno Ver.)

The perfect item for carrying your Nendoroid Choromatsu out and about with you no matter where you go! You can see some examples of use on the previous versions for Osomatsu and Karamatsu!

Plus don’t forget that Nendoroid Choromatsu Matsuno will also be up for preorder at the same time! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Nendoroid Choromatsu Matsuno

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The weather keeps jumping between hot and cold at the moment! I get the feeling I’m catching a cold from all the sudden changes in temperature! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Choromatsu Matsuno!

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a Nendoroid of the third son of the Matsuno family, Choromatsu! He comes with three face plates including a smiling expression, an angry expression as well as a blank expression with a variety of different stickers for you to create your very own expression!

Optional parts include a ‘Nya-chan’ bag, two glow sticks and a variety of different hand and leg parts to allow for all sorts of different poses! Be sure to display him with his other brothers who are also joining the Nendoroid series!

“Who is it? That’s right! It’s Choromatsu!”

The only one of the six brothers with a bit of common sense who becomes rather useless in the presence of cute girls – Choromatsu Matsuno is joining the Nendoroid series! ★

His downward facing eyebrows, V-shaped smiling face and the green hoodie have all been shrunk down into Nendoroid size keeping all of Choromatsu’s unique charms! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Choromatsu is also known to keep his hair very well kempt, which is perserved on the Nendoroid with hyst how amazingly smooth it looks!

△ The one little dent at the side is lovely though!

He also comes with lots of optional parts!

First up, he comes with a paper bag featuring an illustration of his favorite idol – Nyaa Hashimoto! He also comes with the CITY WORK job advertisement magazine!

We got the original data for the magazine’s design directly from the publisher which means we could create the cover down to the finest little details!!

△ Covering up his mouth makes his eyes look a little worried! ♪

Plus…

“These sticks? Yep, they glow!“

Green glow sticks perfect for an idol otaku!★

This means he can go out and cheer for Nya-chan with all his strength!! ♪ Plus from this angle you can actually see the shirt he is wearing peeking out at the top of the hoodie!

Unfortunately, the glow sticks for the Nendoroid don’t actually glow, but I thought it would be fun to display him with some actual glowing glow sticks as well!! ★

△ Now it looks more like he really is participating in a concert! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

The Nya-chan bag has a poster sticking out the back, and if you pose him with both the bag and the glow sticks it looks like he is walking home after an enjoyable live convert! (*´Д｀)=з

△ The fact that he is still holding the glow sticks
shows how much he enjoyed the show!

Anyway, let’s move on to his second expression…

…which has a very sudden change!!

An Angry Expression!

Choromatsu has a very large range of expressions depending on how he is being treated, and the gap between his standard expression and this expression is quite entertaining!! ♡

This expression is best used with his brothers…

You can just imagine some of his angry lines as he shouts at Osomatsu for taking his glow sticks before the concert! Bringing out the atmosphere of the Osomatsu-san series is really so fun and easy with the Nendoroids!!

But that’s not all! Just like his brother’s, Choromatsu also comes with a blank expression as well as three different expression stickers to choose from! ♪

Pose him swinging the glow sticks with this expression, or standing with one of his brothers with that expression… the possibilities are endless!

Be sure to create all sorts of fun and interesting original scenes!! ♡

The cute Nendoroid of the third Matsuno brother! ♪

Nendoroid Choromatsu Matsuno!

He will be up for preorder from Thursday! ♪

Just like his brothers before him, preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a special round base as well as two additional blank expressions!

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

Also note that this product will be going up for preorder on the same day!

Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag (Choromatsu Matsuno Ver.)

The perfect item for carrying your Nendoroid Choromatsu out and about with you no matter where you go! You can see some examples of use on the previous versions for Osomatsu and Karamatsu!

In addition, we are going to be having a special live broadcast to take a look at him and Ichimatsu tomorrow evening! Be sure to tune in!!

Nendoroid Batman: Justice Edition

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this product currently up for preorder!

Nendoroid Batman: Justice Edition!

From the popular movie ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ comes a Nendoroid of Batman dressed up in his armor. The Nendoroid is a part of the fully articulated ‘Edition’ series of Nendoroids which allows for all sorts of action poses from the movie! His characteristic armor has been shrunk down into Nendoroid size keeping the epic appearance while also adding that cute Nendoroid charm!The paintwork has also been very intricately tuned to give the armor a heavy and metallic appearance. His batarang is also included in an all new sculpt for the Justice Edition, as well as a new Bat Signal based on the Batman v Superman design.

The Battle of the Century!

From ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ comes a Nendoroid of the Dark Knight and Vigilante of Gotham – Batman! While the previously released Nendoroid Batman: Hero’s Edition which had more of a glossy appearance, this version of Batman has a more metallic appearance that has been preserved in the Nendoroid nicely!

△ You can make for epic poses just by adjusting the way the light reflects! ☆

As with the last Batman Nendoroid, this one is a fully articulated figure with joints in areas like the knees and elbows which allows for various action poses! ε=(｡・д・｡)

△You can also twist the body itself quite freely!

Plus if you take a closer look at the body itself you can see the details of the sculpt on his suit and belt – even the armor on his wrists and legs has a nice sharp, heavy appearance that really sets up the atmosphere nicely! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

The parts of his armor closest to his body have a matte finish that contrasts against the metallic look of the other parts very nicely!

The Nendoroid also includes his batarangs, but this time they have a much sharper appearance to better match the designs from the new movie!! (/ω＼)

The entire sculpt and color have both been completely changed!

This Batman has been specially tuned to match his setting from ‘Batman v Superman’! Let’s take a closer look at his cape! ★

The cape is separated into two sides and fitted with a ball joint!

This allows you to move the cape around to match all sorts of different movements and easily match the cape with your pose!

Plus you can also get a rather rare look at the reverse side of Batman’s outfit – it is nice and detailed as well, so be sure to take a closer look once he joins your collection!

Standing atop a building with the wind blowing his cape…

△ Also note the little tears at the end of his cape! Lovely details!

A Bat Signal based on the new design is also included! ♪

△ The bat silhouette is slightly larger compared to last time!

It also comes with parts to display it shining out into the night sky to bring out that Batman atmosphere even more! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

△ This is still the prototype so it looks a bit like a sticker here,
but the actual product will have the bat printed directly on the light!

Nendoroid Kogane Asabuki + Migite-chan Set

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Ever since it started getting hot last week my intake of barley tea has increased substantially! Whenever it starts to get hot I always consider it the perfect drink to cool down! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Kogane Asabuki + Migite-chan Set!

From the anime series ‘BBK/BRNK’ comes a Nendoroid of Kogane Asabuki together with Oubu’s right arm, ‘Raijoudou’ – also known as Migite-chan! She comes with three expressions including a smiling face, a worried face as well as a frenzied expression to capture the other side of her personality.The included Migite-chan is also partially articulated allowing you to recreate a variety of different situations from relaxed scenes to tense battle scenes! Enjoy both the lively Kogane as well as the unforgettable Migite-chan together with this set!

“I will fight! Together with Migite-chan!”

From the anime series ‘BBK/BRNK’ comes a Nendoroid of the innocent Kogane Asabuki as well as Oubu’s right arm that she inherited from her father – ‘Raijoudou’, also known as Migite-chan! ♥︎

The flowers that make up her hair accessory have all been so intricately sculpted! Kogane herself has a very light coloring to her that makes her look so sweet, while Migite-chan has all its vivid patterns faithfully included on the Nendoroid design!

Another part that really stands out is her hair sculpt! It has so much volume when you take a look from the back or sides!! (・∀・)

△ Her cute backpack is also included even with the adorable cat print!

Anyway, Kogane-chan comes with three alternate expressions to switch between, so let’s take a look at each of them! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

First up we have her smiling face!

Such a gentle expression that captures the kind side of Kogane so nicely! ♪

Next up we have this one…!

A worried expression! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Those worried eyebrows and the upside-down V-shaped mouth give Kogane such an pure and innocent appearance!! You can have her hold hands with Migite-chan and pose her walking home in a bit of an upset mood…

Although she also has a bit of a determined look to her!!

I’m sure fans of the series will be able to come up with all sorts of fun original situations with the Nendoroid!! ♪

Anyway, before we move onto the third expression I first want to take a closer look at Migite-chan!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

＼Ta-da!!／

All of Migite-chan’s fingers are fitted with various different joints for all sorts of different poses! The thumb is even fitted with a Nendoroid joint!! ★

△The index finger and pinky finger are fitted with a simple joint,
while the ring finger and middle finger have ball joints!

The overall form of Migite-chan is so cute that it looks cute almost no matter how you place him! Its so flexible that he can even be posed to help you at school or at work! Here we have Migite-chan holding a pencil ready for use!! ♪

△ You could probably get it holding other items as well… as long as they balance! ♪

Anyway, moving onto her final expression… an expression to capture the other side of her personality…

A Frenzied Expression!

“I’ll gouge out everything!! Your eyes, your nose, your throat, and your guts… I’ll gouge them out with this very hand!!”

A fierce attack with Migite-chan attached to her right hand!

The pose has such a powerful presence to it! She comes with a special attachment part that allows you to attach Migite-chan with ease! ♪

△ You can’t see her expression…
it’s hard to imagine that cute smile can become so fierce!

If you put her in her worried expression pose with this frenzied expression…

Eeep! (˚ ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )
There is still something cute about it, but taking a good close look at this expression shows just how fierce she looks!! You can really jump from all the extremes of her personality with this Nendoroid! ☆

I look forward to seeing some of the original scenes fans will make with the cute Kogane-chan and the flexible Migite-chan! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Add the world of BBK/BRNK to your collection!

Nendoroid Kogane Asabuki + Migite-chan Set!

They will be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Plus orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Closed Eye Part for Migite-chan!!

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

Nendoroid Ainz Ooal Gown

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The temperature has warmed up quite a lot now! We’re definitely in the season for ice cream now! Whenever I’m in at the shops I always take a look at the ice cream section to see if there are any new releases!

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

Nendoroid Ainz Ooal Gown!

From the popular dark fantasy series ‘OVERLORD’ comes a Nendoroid of Ainz, the leader of the Ainz Ooal Gown guild and ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. His air of supremacy as the ‘Ruler of Death’ has been faithfully preserved with an impressive and dignified appearance – even when shrunk down to Nendoroid size!His face features movable parts and he comes with various different arm parts that can be used to recreate various different scenes from the series! Nendoroid Albedo is also planned to be released, so be sure to display the two of them together!

“I am the Supreme Ainz Ooal Gown!”

From ‘OVERLORD’ comes a Nendoroid of the skeletal overlord and strongest magic caster – Ainz!! ★

His dark red eyes seem to almost be glowing with the black around them, and his skeletal body looks amazing together with the mantle he wears over it!

Even as a Nendoroid he looks so intimidating!! (/ω＼)

The golden accessories contrast against his dark outfit so nicely!! Let’s see how he looks from the back!

The flow and creases of the fabric on his hood and cape are so beautifully sculpted! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Even though he is nothing but a skeleton underneath the cape, I can’t help but think he is nice and warm under that cape!!

Unlike most Nendoroids he doesn’t come with alternate expression parts, but he does instead come with alternate eye plates that can be replaced for a slightly different look!

△ A rather different layout compared to most Nendoroid parts!

Plus as you can see from above, his mouth can also open and close!! ★

The alternate eye parts fit into place between the upper and lower jaw! This is how he looks when you replace the glowing red eyes with the pure black eyes!

With the red in his eyes gone he looks a little calmer, and he even comes with a background sheet that represents the thing that calms him down when he gets too excited! This allows for various fun scenes from the series as well as from the ‘Pure Pure Pleiades’ spinoff!

But where are his arms? Lake a look!

This Part…

Covers his arm like this…

To end up like this!

In other words you can display him with his arms completely covered up by the cape!

The arm parts are also fitted with ball joints allowing you to move them around in any direction for various different nuances! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Plus, even the bone parts above his eyes are movable parts, allowing for more comical poses from this intimidating eyes!

△ Open just one eye up wide for this rather cute pose! (●´ω｀●)

Changing the amount of his eyes that are shown can really change the overall feeling of the expression, giving Ainz quite an impressive range of expressions!

Although he doesn’t need it to stand, the final version of the Nendoroid is planned to be released with a Nendoroid stand to help him stand out!

△ Displayed with a Nendoroid Petite for size comparison!

He also comes with special arm parts to display him holding his head in his hands in worry! <(´□｀｡<)

△ The troubles of a supreme overlord…!

The size of the body and expressions are a little different to most Nendoroids…

But the enjoyment factor is the same as always!! ♡

Add the palm-sized supreme overlord to your collection!

Nendoroid Ainz Ooal Gown!

He’ll be up for preorder from Thursday!! ★

Plus, this Nendoroid is also currently in development!

Nendoroid Albedo!

More news coming soon! (⌯¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧

Nendoroid Shigure Kai Ni

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Tonight was Snow Miku Live Broadcast! There hasn’t been a broadcast for awhile, so I was a little nervous…!

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

Nendoroid Shigure Kai Ni!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the 2nd Shiratsuyu Class Destroyer, Shigure Kai Ni! She comes with three expressions including her standard smiling expression, a determined expression great for combat scenes as well as a rather worried looking expression based on her half-damaged illustration.

The large ship parts on her back can be separated and equipped as cannons for her to hold, and the smaller single and double-barreled turrets on the sides can also be removed from the main ship parts and equipped separately, allowing for all sorts of different weapon setups! All of her turrets as well as the torpedo launchers also come with firing effect parts to really show off the full fire power of a destroyer – even in Nendoroid size!

She also comes with various optional parts to recreate both her ‘Valentine’ and ‘Summer’ seasonal outfits from the game! Enjoy the destroyer both ready for combat and in more everyday scenes!

“I am the 2nd Shiratsuyu Class Destroyer, Shigure!”

Shigure is joining the Nendoroids in her ‘Kai Ni’ upgraded form! Her cute hair that sticks out at the sides almost like animal ears as well as the single braid that lays over her shoulder both look so cute in Nendoroid size! Accessories like her hair accessory and neck tie also have lovely detail, and the outfit with slightly puffy sleeves as well as those ship parts all look so good!! (´□｀｡)

The mechanical, heavy feeling ship parts on her back have also been sculpted so nicely! Just imagine how strong she must be to carry this on her back all the time!

△ I also like the loose appearance of the fabric at the bottom of the barrels!

Not to mention the gentle smile on her face that brings out the personality of that kind and loving Shigure Kai Ni who is always looking out for others!

△ The smile on the Kai Ni version gives her a slightly more mature look!

However! You can also enjoy a more serious version of her with this determined expression! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

But it’s not just her expression that has changed! You’ll notice that the double barrel turret that was on her ship parts has now been equipped onto her left hand! (●´ω｀●)

Plus, the ship parts on her back…

…are fitted with a Nendoroid joint for all sorts of original poses!

But that’s still not all! The ship parts on her back can also be separated down the middle…

“Enemy Sighted!”

And equipped to both her hands!!

This is very similar to the transformation that you could do with the previously released 1/8th scale Shigure Kai Ni, so those who own that figure might find it quite familiar! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

△ The previously released 1/8th Scale Shigure Kai Ni!

The turret parts that connect into the back of the Nendoroid stand not only have a ball joint, but each of the two arm parts also has a joint to allow for various different angles and nuances while posing!

You can move the turrets in so many different ways that the possibilities really are endless!! I can’t wait to see some of the photos that this Nendoroid will inspire!! ★

To make the combat poses even more epic, she also comes with shooting effect parts for all her turrets as well as the torpedo launchers on her legs!! You can connect all these parts at once to create a powerful pose that shows off the fire power of a destroyer! ( っ•̀ω•́)っ

△ The impression is so very different compared to her smiling face above!

However… there is still much more to come! ☆

This time around the Nendoroid includes parts to recreate two of the seasonal outfits from the game!! (/ω＼)

– 1 –

A bowl filled with chocolate, a spatula and an apron?!

The first seasonal outfit is the outfit that was available for the Valentine’s event!! ♥︎

She’s so cute!!! (*´Д｀)=з

The pale pink apron together with her mixing up chocolate… the perfect example of a young maiden trying her best for Valentine’s day!! It’s so cute it almost hurts!!

The apron part is planned to be included like this, with the neck area also a part of the apron! When you want to transform her into Valentine mode you will need to first remove her standard neck tie parts and then put this on in place! (・∀・)

– 2 –

…a pink tube?!

The second seasonal outfit to be included is her special Summer outfit!! ♪

A whole different kind of cute!!!

An entirely separate Summer body is included to switch her out to this mode! The swimsuit itself isn’t damaged or anything, but the slightly worried look from the included half-damage expression suits is so nicely! ♥︎

The slightly opened up mouth is just so adorable!!

△ The white coat slipping off her shoulders gives a nice relaxed look! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

By the way… if you combine the half-damaged expression with the Valentine body…

… (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾

It’s as if she is simulating passing over the valentine’s chocolate to her Admiral… covering up her embarrassment a little with the spatula!!! This figure really allows you to bring out Shigure’s charm in all sorts of amazing ways!!

Last but not least, she also comes with a ‘Night Battle Background Sheet‘ with some drizzling rain to match with her name ‘Shigure’ which means ‘seasonal rain’ in Japanese! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

△ The sheet connects to the base with a special attachment.

Destroyers are strong in night battles!

Which means the all-out pose with all the effect parts really fits with the night battle background sheet to fully bring out Shigure’s battle charm! (´□｀｡)

From smiles, to embarrassment, to combat! Be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy all sorts of scenes! ♥︎

Nendoroid Shigure Kai Ni!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 24th May 2016 JST!

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include the usual bonus of a Special Shigure Kai Ni Box Sleeve and a Special Nendoroid Base! ★

* Shigure Kai Ni’s Special Base will be a slightly larger (80mm x 80mm) base.
* The sleeve design will be announced at a later date.

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Nendoroid Aqua

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The rain has come and the pollen levels are apparently much lower… but for some reason I’m still sneezing! Maybe this sneezing isn’t the hay fever I thought it was…

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

Nendoroid Aqua!

From the anime series ‘Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Syukufuku wo!’ comes a Nendoroid of the beautiful goddess that can also be a rather ditzy, Aqua! She comes with three expressions including a smiling face, a contemptuous expression and a crying expression to show that she can be quite the cry baby. Optional parts include her staff as well as parts to recreate her party trick.Enjoy posing Aqua in all sorts of poses – from showing off her party trick to desperately trying to run away from monsters!

The beautiful goddess has descended!

From the anime series that has already had its second season announced, ‘Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Syukufuku wo!’ comes a Nendoroid of the goddess that Kazuma brought with him to another world – the adorable Aqua! ♡

Her lovely light blue hair, cute uniform and those eyes filled with curiosity have all been converted into Nendoroid size!!

She also comes with her staff with the cute pink bud on the top! Posed with her big smile together with the staff in hand really captures her naive appearance!♪

Her hem of her skirt in the series is known for its see-through look, which has been faithfully reproduced on the Nendoroid with translucent parts! ☆

（。´-`）.｡oO（”But… what is the Nendoroid version wearing beneath that…?“)

You’ll have to wait until she joins your collection to confirm that!

Her unique hairstyle and accessory look lovely in Nendoroid size!♪

△ I love the cute little curl where the hair is tied up! ♡

As an Arch Priest with all skills maxed out and the ability to fight in close combat with her staff, Aqua is definitely a worthwhile ally… but there are certain things about her that can make her more of a liability…

We have included expression parts to bring out those sides too! Such as…

A contemptuous expression!

She is giggling so hard there are tears in her eyes!

This expression can also be found on her character page on the official website, but there is something about the chibi Nendoroid design that makes it so much more effective!! I want to hate it, but it’s too cute!! (´□｀｡)

But she also comes with another expression…

A Crying Expression!

She might act tough, but when hit by any attack she quickly has a rather childish reaction! This expression and pose capture it perfectly! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

You can also instead hold her prisoner!

△ I can just image her crying voice in my head! ★

Plus! She also comes with parts to recreate her ‘Party Trick’ skills that never help much in battle! She comes with special fan parts that allow you to recreate this scene!

Her Water Party Trick!✧

The little fountain parts at the ends of the fans make use of translucent parts to recreate the water-like appearance!

△ A trick worthy of one who can purify any water into Holy Water! ♪

Enjoy all sorts of sides of Aqua’s personality! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Add the cute ‘Useless Goddess’ to your collection!
Nendoroid Aqua!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 19th May 2016! ♡

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Special Round Base as a bonus!

Be sure to consider it when preordering! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver.

Hello and to those who don’t know me it’s nice to meet you! There might be some of you that remember me back when I took over the blog for a day quite some time ago…

My name is Chan-shuu (@gscs_hirase), a member of Good Smile Company’s planning team! You may have read the introduction blog that Kahotan wrote for me the other day! I will be writing an article for the blog on weekends around two times a month!

With that said, the first item I will be taking a look at is…

Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver.!

We wish to express our condolences to those who have been affected by the earthquakes that struck Kumamoto prefecture in April 2016. We want to work with our fans to bring back the cheer to Japan by bringing back the ‘Cheerful JAPAN!’ charity project, to help raise funds to aid relief efforts in the Kyushu region.
This product is released as a joint charity project with Nitroplus and DMM.com.Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver. comes with a banner and folding fan as optional parts, as well as a lovely smiling expression to spread the cheer! The Nendoroid will also include badges of Nendoroid Doudanuki Masakuni, Nendoroid Hotarumaru, Nendoroid Heshikiri Hasebe and Nendoroid Petite Kasen Kanesada.
(*Please note that only one expression is included with this product.)For each figure sold Good Smile Company, Nitroplus and DMM.com will donate ¥1000 to aid the relief efforts in Japan.

The previously released Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika is being released in a special version as a part of the Cheerful JAPAN! project!

▲ Here is what is included with the product!

The main body for Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika is kept the same, but he comes with a selection of special parts including a new smiling expression, a ‘Cheerful Japan’ banner as well as folding fan parts!

These are of course all included under the theme of ‘cheering’ to cheer on those who were affected by the recent earthquakes around Kumamoto.

Waving his folding fans with a huge smile!

That bright smile on his face and the large folding fans show he is ready to spread the cheer! Not only do I feel happy looking at him, but he also somehow makes me feel so relaxed… （*＾ω＾*）

▲ The Good Smile mark can be found on both folding fans!

Both fans are also printed on both sides, so no matter what angle you look from you can feel the cheer! ╭( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

The second ‘Cheerful’ item item is this banner with ‘CheerfulJapan!’ written in Japanese on it. The special thing about this banner is the thickness of the pole! It is made the same size as the Touken Ranbu Nendoroid’s swords, and seen all of the Nendoroids can hold their swords…

That means that they can also all hold the banner!

Here we have Nendoroid Ichigo Hitohuri holding the banner! He just shipped out to fans last week!! The smiling expression fits with the cheerful theme rather nicely! (*´∀`*)

Even Heshikiri Hasebe who is currently up for preorder…

Can confidently show his support!!

Plus, each purchase of the Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver. will also come with all of these badges!

Special badges of Nendoroid Doudanuki Masakuni, Nendoroid Hotarumaru, Nendoroid Heshikiri Hasebe and Nendoroid Petite Kasen Kanesada!

I’m sure there are some fans that may have noticed the connection here, but all of these characters are characters that have some kind of connection with Kyushu – the area that was most badly affected by the earthquake.

Display them together with your Nendoroids or carry them around on your bag to show your support!

Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver. is currently up for preorder!!

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

– How to Purchase –

■ Order Period: 2016/4/25 from 19:00 ~ 2016/5/25 at 21:00 (JST)

*Please see the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP website for shipping details.
→ GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP Product Page

■ Price: ¥3,889 (Before Tax)
■ Release Date: August 2016
■ Donation: For each figure sold Good Smile Company, Nitroplus and DMM.com will donate ¥1000 to aid the relief efforts in Japan.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Last but not least, I want to expression my condolences to all those who have been affected by the Kumamoto earthquakes. We came up with the Cheerful Japan project as it was a way for us as a company to support those who need it while still doing what we love, as well as giving fans a product that they can purchase and be proud to own knowing that the money spent will be going to a good cause. I hope this Nendoroid Mikazuki Munechika: Cheerful Ver. will bring some cheer to those who need it in some way or another!

Anyway, that’s all from me for now! I’m sure we will meet somewhere again sometime! (・ω・)ノ
