Nendoroid Taiho

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)\

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the latest of the KanColle Nendoroids!

Nendoroid Taiho!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the First Taiho Class Aircraft Carrier – Taiho! She comes with three expressions including an easy-to-use standard expression, a half-damaged expression as well as an attacking expression for combat scenes.Optional parts include a cartridge that can be held as well as set in both her crossbow and ship deck. She also includes three different state-of-the-art planes to fly by her side including the Ryusei, Reppu and Suisei planes for various different scenes. Special parts are also included which allow you to recreate her half-damaged pose! Simply select the situation you like best!

“Everyone ready? It’s time to get going!
First Mobile Force, heading out!”

The state-of-the-art aircraft carrier that even features an armored flight deck – Taiho is joining the Nendoroids!!

Her short-cut brown hair with slightly longer sides, those calm and confident eyes and the combination of a mini-skirt and short leggings bring all of Taiho’s charms alive in Nendoroid size!! I also love her outfit with the little openings you can see beneath her arms, as well as all the details around the neck and hip areas! Not to mention her awesome ship parts! (・∀・)

Various areas of the ship parts are also connected with Nendoroid joints allowing them to move left and right for all sorts of different posing options! ♪

△ This area wasn’t ever even visible in the original illustration!

As with most Nendoroids, she comes with a selection of different hand parts, and these even allow you to pose her aiming her crossbow! (●´ω｀●)

△ Shimada Humikane’s design has been faithfully preserved in this expression!

By the way! Nendoroid Taiho comes with a total of three cartridges that can be set in the crossbow, ship deck parts and can even be held! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ!!

△ They read ‘War’ ‘Attack’ and ‘Explosive’! ♪

These little playful options that are often included with the KanColle Nendoroids make them really fun to play with as well as put on display!♡

Anyway, let’s move on to her alternate expressions parts!

First up is her…

Attacking Expression!

This confident expression makes me think of her line in the game, “Come now my brilliant children, show them what you can really do!” ♪

That said, her ‘children’ planes are also included as optional parts to fly by her side! This time around the included planes are Ryusei, Reppu and Suisei!

△ The different designs are faithfully portrayed on the tiny little planes!

She can also be posed in more dynamic action scenes for battle with the included bent leg parts! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Taking a closer look at the armor on her stomach area, the details have been very intricately sculpted onto her design!! You can also get a little look at the short leggings under her skirt! (/ω＼)

Anyway, onto her third expression…

A half-damaged expression!!

Oooooooooooohhh!! (/ω＼)

Along with the expression, she also comes with various parts to help recreate her half-damaged pose! ♪

– Lower Body Parts –

△ The little rips look so cute in Nendoroid form!

– Ship Deck Parts –

△ The end tip of the ship deck swaps out to a damaged version!

– Ship Parts –

△ The bottom of the hull can be swapped out completely to a damaged part!

Plus, the half-damage expression can kind of be used as an embarrassed expression as well!!

△ Trying to hide her embarrassment with a cartridge! ♡

I’m sure all the Admirals out there will come up with all sorts of fun and interesting poses once she joins your collection! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Enjoy everything from her normal self to combat scenes to a more embarrassed side!

Nendoroid Taiho!

She’ll be up for preorder tomorrow!

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will as usual include a special Nendoroid Box Sleeve and Special Nendoroid Base! ★

* Nendoroid Taiho’s special base will a a slightly larger 80mm x 80mm base.

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

Nendoroid Co-de Hatsune Miku: Red Feather Community Chest Movement 70th Anniversary Commemoration Co-de

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I am already thinking about what to do with my next long weekend. But the nice break has left me ready to work hard once again!

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

Nendoroid Co-de Hatsune Miku: Red Feather Community Chest Movement 70th Anniversary Commemoration Co-de!

A Hatsune Miku Nendoroid Co-de figure made in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Red Feather Community Chest Movement. She holds a red feather in her hands with an gentle smile on her face and wings on her back creating a truly angelic Miku to add to your collection.

* This product also includes a rubber strap.
* For each figure sold, Crypton Future Media and Good Smile Company will donate ¥300 to the Red Feather Community Chest Movement.

“Supporting one another for a better future.”

An angelic smiling Miku-san holding a red feather is joining the Nendoroid Co-de series!

That cute upward glance, blushing expression, angel wings and that lovely red feather… she really is such an angel!! The figure is also a special charity item for the Red Feather Community Chest Movement, and comes with a special round base with the logo on it! Her futuristic outfit also has a nice glossy effect to it that really makes her stand out! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The skirt has been sculpted spread out a bit as if the wind is blowing around her, which suits the feather theme nicely! (●´ω｀●)

Let’s take a closer look at her lovely angelic wings!

Even in Nendoroid size the ‘layers’ of the wings have been faithfully included in the sculpt! But the point I really want to focus on…

This adorable expression! ♥︎

The expression is filled with such a kind and gentle feeling, with those rosy red cheeks and V-shaped smile…. it’s just such a pleasure to look at!! I know there have been many different renditions of Miku-san in the Nendoroid world already, but this expression just pulls at my heart so much!!

Let’s have a quick recap for those who are new to the series! ♪

What are Nendoroid Co-de?

Nendoroid Co-de is a new addition to the Nendoroid series based on the theme of dressing-up characters! The figures have fixed poses and each come with four parts – the head, upper garment, lower garment and shoes. Each of these parts can be swapped between characters allowing for all sorts of possibilities. The more you collect, the more dress-up options become available to you!

In other words…! They are simple fixed pose Nendoroids, great for new collectors, with the ability to dress-up in various ways!

They are designed to be fun for Nendoroid collectors to collect, and for younger fans to enjoy playing with and creating all sorts of new dress coordination! You can see all the figures released so far over on the…

Nendoroid Co-de Special Website!♪

⇒　http://www.goodsmile.info/en/nendoro-code

Here you can find out more about the Nendoroid Co-de series and see all the previous figures in the series! ★

Anyway, let’s get back to today’s item!!

Those who have donated to the Red Feather Community Chest Movement in the past will know that you receive one of these lovely red feathers when you donate! Here we have Miku holding the actual red feather instead!

Oooooooohhhh!! (´□｀｡)

How can she be so cute and then still look even cuter?! Note that the actual feather is not included with the figure! It is given to those who donate to the Red Feather Community Chest Movement!

However there is something else that IS included with the figure!

A Nendoroid Plus: Hatsune Miku Red Feather Community Chest Movement Rubber Strap!

△ This will be sent together with the Nendoroid Co-de itself! ★

Nendoroid Co-de Hatsune Miku: Red Feather Community Chest Movement 70th Anniversary Commemoration Co-de!

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow!

For each one sold, Crypton Future Media and Good Smile Company will donate ¥300 to the Red Feather Community Chest Movement!

Nendoroid Clarion

And the star of today’s blog is… !

Hey, everyone!

Kaho-tan here. （@gsc_kahotan）

And today we’ll be taking a closer look at Nendoroid Clarion!

From the popular anime series ‘Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn’ comes a Nendoroid of Clarion! She comes with a alternate expression for comat as well as her combat knives ‘Yoryu’ and ‘Haiko’ as well as effect parts for her Plasma Neko Punch which allow you to recreate all sorts of combat scenes from the series.She also comes with parts to display her accessing her Pandora Device together with an embarrassed expression which suits the pose perfectly! BUER is also included and can also be set on Clarion’s neck accessory. BEUR also has an articulated middle leg allowing for various different nuances together with Clarion!

“Everyone who touches these ears is going to hell!”

Clarion, the combat android beloved by Pandora in the Crimson Shell protagonist Nene Nana Korobi, has been transformed into this cute little Nendoroid! ♡

→ See product details here!

Her cat ears, maid uniform, scornful eyes and pink hair… Or in other words, all of the creators’ fetishes have been packed into this adorable figure, complete with robotic-like joints.

Delicate frills trim the hem of her full skirt as it seems to flutter in the breeze, giving the shrewd Clarion a sense of movement despite this simple standing pose ♪

And here’s something else perfect for a standard Clarion pose ⭐︎

Her skirt seems to billow in rage as she prepares for battle…!

Her weapons, the knives Yoryu and Haiko, feature a special paint job to exaggerate their weight, so they actually look heavy – as weapons should!

But there’s something else you’d like to pair with these weapons, right…

That certain effect part you know so well from the series!

It comes with its own specialized stand, just insert it into the base!

Her cold expression seen in the first photo could work here too, but if you look again at those gallant eyes focused sharply on her target and tightly pursed lips in this brave “Battle Expression”… It’s not bad at all!

Look out, because there’s actually two different types of effect parts included – one for each kind of attack! (｡･ω･)ﾉ

And that’s not all!

You won’t want to miss this one particular feature that created quite a ripple when we first unveiled this product…

The Pandora Device!

Ooo-la-laaa! (´□｀｡)

Even acknowledging the Nendoroid form-factor and all… This pose is pretty steamy!

The lifted skirt and hatch opening below her navel are both separate parts, so you can recreate this look by simply changing out pieces.

And even the underside of her frilly skirt has been crafted in great detail, so you still have the same sense of its fullness and beauty♡

Not only that, the five-goat-legged lion-headed BUER (Base of Unearthed Resources) has a neck joint, allowing you to add a slight nuance to his poses(σ・∀・)σ

Like this self-satisfied pose…!

It also comes with a miniature version that can attach to Clarion’s collar! ★

This little guy is so strangely cute… !

And in case you missed it…

BUER’s middle leg is articulated! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ

You can see it moving ever so slightly, right?

I’m sure you can think of all sorts of interesting situations to utilize this feature…

BUER comes with his own stand, so you can set him up where ever you like!♪

So, what do you say? Are you ready to take home this combat android with her adorably disapproving glare?

She’s available for preorder right now!　♡

Nendoroid Captain America: Hero’s Edition

Hey, everyone. Kaho here! （@gsc_kahotan）

“United we stand, divided we fall…” A certain movie is about to hit Japanese theaters…

Which brings me to today’s post! Where we’ll be taking a closer look at

Nendoroid Captain America Heroes Edition!

From ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ comes a figure of the leader of the Avengers, Captain America! The fully articulated Nendoroid has been carefully sculpted and painted with his unique design and coloring based on the US flag, ensuring he looks impressive no matter what pose you choose to display him in!His trademark shield can attach to his left or right arm using a special attachment, allowing you to choose which better suits your pose. The shield can also be placed on his back, which even allows him to balance without the need for a stand! Effect parts to display him throwing the shield are included adding even more play value!In addition, the included stand is based on the final battle scene from the movie and can be combined with the base included with the previously released ‘Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 45: Hero’s Edition‘ in order to complete the full circular base – a large dioramic base that really brings out the atmosphere of the Avengers for fans to enjoy!

Now it’s the Captain’s turn to join the Nendoroid series!

From his stars and stripes motif costume to his righteous spirit that seems to radiate justice, I present to you the “Hero among heroes” – this cute little Captain America Nendoroid!

Product Details: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5576/Nendoroid+Captain+America+Hero+s+Edition.html

Protecting the weak, crushing the strong, never giving up, and fighting with resolve to the very end – even though he has been shrunken down into just 10cm in height, the Captain’s heroic stature really shines through!

And while he does have the SD Nendoroid-style design, the distinct colors on his torso, shape of his chest, and all of the other details have been painstakingly preserved (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

There are glossy portions and matte portions, metallic and other painted portions, and just so much variation going on. But as you can see, he has a very shapely body!

And the shield has a special attachment piece, allowing you to equip it to his arm. In addition, by using another type of attachment piece you can reenact that memorable scene from the movie, with the shield on his back!

△This silhouette… So small and cute, yet still so gallant!

From this angle you can also see how even the most minute details on his helmet have been very meticulously sculpted. (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Of course, it doesn’t just look that way!!

And just like the other Hero’s Edition Nendoroids, he’s articulated at the knees and elbows to be a “fully poseable” action figure – so get ready for some serious play!ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

He comes with a special-effect sheet for when he powerfully hurls his shield, which could also be used to achieve that added UMPH for other actions. ☆

△ Such intense eyes… I love it… !

In addition to the open-palm hands, he also comes with fists. Mix and match them to create various pre-battle scenes and poses.

△ Here I have him thinking hard about his next attack strategy…!

But that’s still not all!

He also comes with a Diorama Stand, for reenacting a particularly climactic scene from the “Avengers: Age of Ultron” movie! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

He looks pretty cool standing there by himself, but the previously released Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 45: Hero’s Edition comes with a similar stand, so it really evokes a sense of the series when displaying them together!!

As you can see, it’s a lot of fun to recreate scenes from the movies using only Nendoroids – I highly recommend it!

Experience the range of movement you can only enjoy with a fully poseable action figure!

Want to try holding the small and cute gallant Captain in the palm of your hand?

Nendoroid Captain America: Hero’s Edition

He’s available for pre-order right now!

Product Details: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5576/Nendoroid+Captain+America+Hero+s+Edition.html

The Goodsmile Online Shop will be accepting pre-orders until (Wed) May 11 at 21:00 JST.

Nendoroid Mira Fenrietta

And the star of today’s blog is… !

Hey, everyone!

Kaho here. （gsc_kahotan）

And today we’ll be taking a look at a Nendoroid that goes up for pre-order today –

Nendoroid Mira Fenrietta

From the popular smartphone game ‘Shironeko Project’ comes a Nendoroid of the dark nun who broke her vows – Mira Fenrietta! She comes with both a standard expression as well as a triumphant expression.
Optional parts include her ‘Holy Cross’ weapon as well as her main source of nutrition – a packet of bean sprouts! She also comes with special parts that allow you to recreate her ‘Lightning Bolt’ and ‘Holy Heal’ skills from the game! Be sure to add the haughty Mira-sama to your collection!

Repent!

Clad in a dazzling white and gold costume accented with luscious red, the nun who dispels darkness: Mira Fenrietta has been transformed into this adorable little Nendoroid ♡

Though she’s available for pre-order starting today, the undertaking of this product development was hush-hush – so are you guys surprised or what!?

　⇒　For more product details, please see here

Not only does she have that smiling face of victory – you can almost hear singing out with her melodious voice,

her lavishly detailed accessories, unique nun’s habit, and demon’s tail have all been included.

That eye-catching golden decoration features metallic paint that glimmers in the light, making her costume all the more glamorous★

Of course, just like any other Nendoroid she comes with a variety of optional parts and accessories!

And the one we wanted to give Mira first and foremost

was her “staple food,” a bag of bean sprouts (・∀・)

The mascot character on the bag looks exactly like it does in-game!

Though this is a Nendoroid original part inspired by an episode that happens in-game… Doesn’t she look so cute holding her bag of bean sprouts with that triumphant face! ♡

The next thing I want to show you is her solemn specialized weapon, the

Holy Cross! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Even though it’s been given the SD Nendoroid style design, it still has the sharp weapon-like points!

And check out her face in that photo, too!

Though she had 2 fangs showing before while her mouth was open,

as you can see, she only has one tooth protruding with her mouth closed! (/ω＼)

It gives her an even more human-like appearance than before, don’t you think. ☆

But with her mouth open, smiling like a mischievous child, she’s still super cute♥︎

Wait, did you all see that… ?!

She seems to have grown wings… !

Yes! That’s right, she also comes with these wings

so you can recreate the “friendship awakening” illustration! (๑òωó๑)

Combining the various expressions and optional parts is one thing that sets Nendoroids apart from the rest!

Have fun mixing and matching the various accessories with different poses and expressions ♥︎

On top of all that, she also comes with this Background Sheet & Backgroung Sheet Support, and if you combine them with the Holy Cross from before… !

It looks like she’s using her in-game skill Lighting Bolt !(´□｀｡)

And she also comes with this circular sheet for when she casts Holy Heal!★

There’s a hole for the prop in the sheet

so that it can be inserted between the prop and the stand, like this.

So there you have it..

She can recreate in-game scenes, kickback with a bag of her favorite bean sprouts, and comes lots of all sorts of other fun stuff to play with!ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

So let’s all join the faith! Behold a cuteness you can worship from the palm of your hand♪

Nendoroid Mira Fenrietta

Nendoroid Heshikiri Hasebe

Hey, everyone.

It’s me, Kaho – who some of you may have just seen via live webcast. （@gsc_kahotan）

Now on to business!

Today we’ll be taking a look at the latest Touken Danshi figure from Orange Rouge…

Nendoroid Heshikiri Hasabe!

From the popular browser game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a Nendoroid of Heshikiri Hasebe – the character who follows his master’s orders to the letter.He comes with three expressions including his standard expression, a combat expression as well as a gentlemanly expression based on his line from the game, “As you wish”. Additionally, his sword can be displayed both sheathed or drawn allowing for various different action poses. Be sure to add him to your collection!

Your wish…

…Is my command!

The sword incredibly loyal to his master, Heshikiri Hasabe is finally joining the Nendoroid line-up!

Those wisteria colored eyes framed with gallantly arched eyebrows, that casually tousled hair – despite the SD form-factor he’s retained all of his most distinguishing features!

Those soft and gentle eyes glistening with the spirit of victory are really impressive (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

The white gloves, pin-tucked shirt, and cummerbund are all quite refined but…

The way his long-tailed coat and those finely detailed pieces of armor have just a touch of movement, he’s able to retain that classic look even while in “action”★

He comes with a sword in its sheath as well as one that’s drawn, so you can use the one that’s right for the pose you’re after♪

△His clothes fit so well, making this standing pose look great!

As I mentioned above, in addition to the standard face,
he also comes with a “battle face,” rife with the ferocity of battle (/ω＼)

Those piercing eyes glaring the enemy… are a stark contrast compared to his cool and collected look from before!

This is another part you don’t want to miss –

You can see it as he’s right about to swing or draw his sword…

The strip of bare skin showing between his glove and sleeve!

The rest of his body is completely covered,

so seeing just that bit of bare skin is rather exciting (´□｀｡)

His fierce face burning with fighting spirit, and wrists you can see just because he’s in a battle mode stance… I want you to enjoy them both to the absolute fullest!

Moving on! Remember that “contrast” that I was talking about earlier…

If it’s contrast you’re after, be sure to check out this expression! ε=(｡・д・｡)

The face he makes right after saying, “As you wish” – the refined face!★

With his gentle demeanor and devout loyalty, is this not a pose only Heshikiri Kasabe could pull off?! And his arched eyebrows still look so lively…. I love it! っ(・∀・)

Though you can see his militant side slip out during battle mode…

if you think about it, that too is not but loyally executing his master’s wishes… !

But that’s not all!

Just like the other Touken Danshi Nendoroids, he comes with his crest on circular stand.

△It adds so much more atmosphere when displaying him! ★

Now that you’ve grown quite fond of Heshikiri Hasebu, why not love him all to yourself?

Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I prefer pears to apples! The juicy sweetness and lovely biting texture make for such an irresistible fruit!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the Nendoroid that went up for preorder together with Nendoroid Osomatsu Matsuno,

Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno!★

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a Nendoroid of the second son of the Matsuno family, Karamatsu! He comes with a smiling expression, an expression trying to act cool as well as a blank expression with a variety of different stickers for you to create your very own expression!

Optional parts include a hand mirror, sunglasses 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 planned to be released as Nendoroids!

“I am the second son born into the Matsuno family, Karamatsu Matsuno!”

The second brother always trying his best to be cool is also joining the Nendoroids! ♪

Product Details: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5625/

Those rather thick and posed eyebrows, rolled-up sleeves on his hoodie, one hand placed in his pocket and cute mouth with just the corners pointing up for a bit of a stuck-up smile! Everything that makes Karamatsu different to the other brothers has been preserved on the Nendoroid in lovely detail!! (/ω＼)

He even comes with a hand mirror to quickly ensure he is looking like his normal cool self! The mirror actually makes use of a reflective material!

△ Meet his gaze through the mirror!

△ He is researching which angle looks the coolest! So cute!!

You can see that his hoodie and jeans are quick similar to Osomatsu’s… but the jeans actually have a slightly different sculpt if you look close!

Can you tell the difference?!

Karamatsu makes use of ‘skinny’ type jeans, so they are sculpted to look slimmer when compared to Osomatsu! There is clearly a lot more slack around Osomatsu-san’s feet as well when compared with Karamatsu!

As I’m sure most of you already know, all six brothers are going to be joining the Nendoroids!٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Along with different expressions and accessories for each of them, the outfit changes will always be more than just color – with each Nendoroid altered to better fit the character’s original design! Be sure to look forward to the other four brothers coming soon!!

Anyway, let’s move onto his second expression!

“So… you’re finally here? My Karamatsu Girls.”

An expression perfect for Karamatsu trying to act cool! ♡

The expressions from Osomatsu-san are quite different to normal anime expressions, but their charm converts into the Nendoroid design really effectively!!

The balance of the expression is lovely!! Plus he also comes with another optional part that suits this expression nicely – sunglasses!

“The sun… is basking in my light!”

It’s amazing how much the atmosphere of the expression changes when you can no longer see the sparkling eyes!! ♪

Of course you can still see the sharp look of his eyebrows as he tries to make a cool expression behind the glasses… (*´Д｀)=з

On the actual product the frame will have a clear plastic sheet that can be inserted in between the hair and expression parts to keep the glasses in place!

But the fact that you can remove the glasses also means the other brothers can also wear them!

Without the eyes showing on this expression, it’s quite hard to tell whether Osomatsu-san is enjoying himself or instead embarrassed! (●´ω｀●)

Using all the included bent arm and accessory parts allows you to bring together all sorts of poses and situations that bring out his character perfectly!

△ Change expressions and create a little story!

Plus, just like Osomatsu-san, his third expression is a blank expression! ☆

The expression comes with stickers that allow you to choose which expression you want to use! ♪

△ Some should remind you of specific scenes from the series!

All the other brothers in the series will also make use of this blank expression together with stickers! Simply pick the expression that you want the most!! ♥︎

Add the cute second brother to your collection!

Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno

He is currently up for preorder! ★

Product Details: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5625/

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Special Round Base as well as two bonus blank faces!!

GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP: Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno!

Nendoroid Osomatsu Matsuno is also up for preorder!! ♪

Product Details: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5624/

By the way, these are the stickers included with Osomatsu-san! ♪

△ Lovely expressions to suit the eldest brother!

Plus, these Nendoroid Pouches are also available for preorder!

△ Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag (Osomatsu Matsuno Ver.)

△Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag (Karamatsu Matsuno Ver.)

Nendoroid Osomatsu Matsuno

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Thanks to everyone who tuned into to live broadcast! Those who were watching will know that these two will be going up for preorder next week Monday!!

Nendoroid Osomatsu Matsuno &
Nendoroid Karamatsu Matsuno!

△ Nendoroid Osomatsu & Karamatsu Matsuno together! Each sold separately!

These two will both be going up for preorder on the same day, but today I’m going to be focusing on the charismatic legend Osomatsu Matsuno! I’ll be taking a look at the younger Karamatsu next week Monday! ☆

Nendoroid Osomatsu Matsuno

From the popular anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a Nendoroid of the eldest son of the Matsuno family, Osomatsu! He comes with a smiling expression, a playful drunk expression as well as a blank expression with a variety of different stickers for you to create your very own expression!

Optional parts include some of Chibita’s oden, some beer 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 planned to be released as Nendoroids!

“I am the oldest of the Matsuno brothers, Osomatsu Matsuno!”

The eldest son who grew kept his mischievous young self all the way into adulthood is joining the Nendoroids! ☆

He has been sculpted wearing his trademark hoodie with the ‘Matsu’ mark together with a smiling expression that really captures his mischievous personality! The pose here with one finger pointed outward could also be interpreted in all sorts of ways! He could be pointing out that he is the first of the Matsuno brothers, or perhaps ordering another beer or even stating he is aiming to be #1! So many possible situations come to mind!! ♪

As I’m sure you already know, all six brothers will be joining the Nendoroids! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

For those who want to collect all six, we have tuned the optional parts and price down a little in order to make it easier on the wallets to buy all six!

That said, they still come with a nice variety of parts to show off their characters!! For example, Osomatsu-san comes with…

＼ Beer! ／

△ You can just imagine him saying something like “Plus one oden, please!”

The beer makes use of translucent parts for the glass so you can really see the fill glass of beer! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Plus he also had to come with …

Some of Chibita’s oden!!

Plus he also comes with an expression that fits these two parts perfectly… a drunk expression!! ♥︎

That look on his face that just shows that it’s better to enjoy the now than worry about tomorrow!! He looks like he is having so much fun!!

“One more round!”

If you’re wondering about his size, he stands around 10cm in height!

Great to display in your house, play around with or even go out with!! Use the various accessories as well as the different arm parts for all sorts of different poses! ♡

△ “Cheers! You made it to Friday!” ♪

Plus he also comes with a blank expression and expression stickers so that you can make your very own expression too!! (●´ω｀●)

△ You’ll have to wait until he goes up for preorder to see the stickers!

Add the eldest of the Matsuno brothers to your collection! ♪

Nendoroid Osomatsu Matsuno

He’ll be up for preorder from the 25th April!! ★

Plus, preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Special Round Base with the Matsu-mark as well as two bonus blank expression parts!ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

△ The special round Nendoroid base! (Nendoroid Osomatsu version)

This round base will be included as a GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP bonus with all the other upcoming brothers as well – all in their image color! For example, Nendoroid Karamatsu will instead come with a blue colored base!

By the way, the standard product already includes one blank expression part, so by preordering from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will end up with three blank expressions to make your own!! Be sure to consider it when preordering! ♡

☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:*☆*:;;;:

Nendoroid Shokaku & Nendoroid Zuikaku

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Thanks to everyone who tuned into the live broadcast yesterday! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Shokaku & Nendoroid Zuikaku!

“Fifth Carrier Division, Nendoroid Shokaku. Ready to sortie!”
“Fifth Carrier Division, Nendoroid Zuikaku. Heading out!”

Apologies for the long wait! Both of the two Shokaku-class aircraft carrier sisters are going up for preorder today!!

△ They might be sisters, but they are each sold separately!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them!

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Nendoroid Shokaku!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the first Shokaku-class aircraft carrier, Shokaku! The Nendoroid is based on Shokaku’s ‘Kai Ni’ upgrade but also has parts to recreate her ‘Kai Ni A’ and standard versions. Nendoroid Shokaku comes with three expressions including her standard expression, an attacking expression for combat as well as a half-damaged expression.An alternate body to recreate her half-damaged appearance is also included, allowing fans to enjoy all sorts of different scenes. Other optional parts include a Type Zero Fighter Model 52 and three “Tenzan” aeroplanes to display around her – with one of the Tenzan planes upgraded to the Model 12 version. She also comes with some ice-cream just like her sister ship, Zuikaku.

“I’m Shokaku, the first Shokaku-class aircraft carrier. I strive to live up to the names of my seniors in the first and second aviation divisions together with Zuikaku!”

The gentle older sister always looking out for Zuikaku, Shokaku is joining the Nendoroids! The gentle demeanour and expression really capture her kind personality nicely!

However! Once she heads into combat… she looks just as ready to fight as any of the other ships!! ((＞д＜))

A Type Zero Fighter Model 52 and three “Tenzan” aeroplanes are included to display around her together with a shouting expression which looks great for combat scenes! ♥︎

Plus you may have noticed that the armor around her feet as also changed… as well as the circle on her headband! These alternate parts allow you to change her into the ‘Kai Ni’ upgraded version of Shokaku!! (σ・∀・)σ

But she comes with another set of similar parts!

Which allow you to display the ‘Kai Ni A’ Version! ★

△ Simply pick the version that you like the most! ♪

In addition, she also comes with parts to recreate her half-damaged appearance! っ(/ω＼)

(…What an adorable expression…!!)

The burning effects on the ship deck with the black smoke billowing up to the sides also really adds to the damaged appearance of the ship, while the torn up clothes have been faithfully represented even in Nendoroid size!!

△ The smiley face logo on the leg joint peeking through the torn skirt!

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Nendoroid Zuikaku!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the second Shokaku-class aircraft carrier, Zuikaku! The Nendoroid is based on Zuikaku’s ‘Kai Ni A’ upgrade but also has parts to recreate her standard version. Nendoroid Zuikaku comes with three expressions including her standard expression, a half-damaged expression that doubles as an expression for combat scenes as well as a grumpy expression.

An alternate body to recreate her half-damaged appearance is also included, allowing fans to enjoy all sorts of different scenes. Other optional parts include a variety of aeroplanes to fly beside her such as a Type Zero Fighter Model 52, a Type Zero Fighter Model 62 (Fighter-bomber), a Zero Fighter Model 52C (Iwai Platoon) and a Suisei bomber. She also comes with some ice-cream just like her sister ship, Shokaku.

“I am the second Shoukaku-class aircraft carrier, Zuikaku. They call me the ‘lucky aircraft carrier’, but it’s not luck – I just try my very best at all times. So long as I have planes to launch, I’ll never be taken down!”

The slightly mischievous aircraft carrier with lovely black twin tails – Zuikaku is also joining the Nendoroids! ♥︎

That confident look in her eyes has been captured so nicely!! I can just imagine her energetic voice when I look at that face! Just like Shokaku, the ship parts connect into her back with a second Nendoroid joint allowing you to easily move them around to fit your pose!

I can’t wait to see some of the original poses that the Admirals out there will come up with!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Zuikaku is well known for her impressive line-up of planes, and to show that the Nendoroid comes with a Type Zero Fighter Model 52, a Type Zero Fighter Model 62 (Fighter-bomber), a Zero Fighter Model 52C (Iwai Platoon) and a Suisei bomber to fly by her side!

△ They are so tiny, but the differences between the types can be identified!

You can also switch out the deck parts and leg parts to display her in her Kai Ni A upgraded version, just like her older sister! ☆

Plus Zuikaku also comes with a damaged body..!

Just like Shokaku, she also comes with an expression to fit with the body…

For the full Kai Ni half-damaged pose!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ The sweat on her cheek and determined look show she isn’t going to give up!

Her third expression is this grumpy expression to capture the tsundere side of her personality for fans to enjoy as well! ♪

(I’m sure this can be used for all sorts of situations!)

Start thinking up some stories to make with her once she is released!! ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇　◆　◇

Both of the sisters also come with… some ice cream!!

They can be posed enjoying some frozen treats together! ♡

△ The ice-cream is planned to slide between the fingers on certain hand parts!

In other words you can enjoy all sorts of poses from their standard poses and combat poses to half-damaged poses or even some special poses to show off their distinct personalities! There are so many options with the two of them!★

Simply pose them in the ways you prefer!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Nendoroid Shokaku!

Nendoroid Zuikaku!

They will be up for preorder later today!!

⇒ Product Details

Akari Hizamaru from the same series has also been released as a Nendoroid! ♪

As you can see from the images above Akari Hizamaru could be posed in both his standard and transformed forms… and this Nendoroid of Michelle doesn’t disappoint in that department either!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Just take this injector…

Place it on the neck…

＼ Transformation Complete!／

Those powerful looking eyes and clenched teeth… she looks ready to take out some Terraformars!

She comes with an alternate transformed expression, armored arm parts as well as feeler parts for her head! In addition she also comes with some amazing effect parts to be used for even more combat scenes…! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Poison Gas Effect Parts! ★

As well as a special expression designed to display her blowing the gas out to completely recreate the memorable scene from the series!

△ The semi-translucent parts create that gas-like appearance!

Plus as you may have noticed from the product name she is an ‘Edition’ Nendoroid, which means she is fully articulated for all sorts of different poses!!

Michelle’s impressive body has also been faithfully preserved in Nendoroid size! Even in Nendoroid form there is quite some volume on that chest!

Her glassed can also be attached and removed whenever you like, so if you prefer Michelle without her glasses you are free to pose her that way!
