Chilled
Mikudayo-!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this figure that went up for preorder today…

From the ‘Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku’ comes a Nendoroid of the rather conspicuous character based on Hatsune Miku, finally in her Snow version! Her strangely thin and flappy twin-tails have been decorated with snowflakes to bring out the snowy theme perfectly!

Optional parts include some oden, a meal perfect for the colder Winter months as well as Mikudayo-‘s favorite food – tuna sushi! She also comes with the Snow Miku Caramel that was on sale at the Snow Miku Skytown at New Chitose Airport, as well as the popular ‘Berry parfait with premium soft-serve ice cream made from the milk of Shibecha brown Swiss cattle’ that was sold at the MIRAI.ST cafe in Sapporo! She has so many delicious things to enjoy meaning that you get to enjoy a really happy, snowy Mikudayo-!

Ooooohhh!! (´□｀｡)

The mysterious Mikudayo- that people fall in love with before they know it is being released in a snow version!! ☆

– Previous Mikudayo- Figures –

☆ Nendoroid Petite: Mikudayo-
★ Nendoroid Mikudayo-
★ 1/8th Scale Mikudayo-

☆ Nendoroid Sakura Mikudayo-

But anyway, let’s get back to today’s snowy version! ♪

As you might expect from the name, this Mikudayo- has all sorts of relations to snow! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

In addition, her miniskirt, arm covers and rather plump boots have all been given a shiny silver coating!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

The same thin and flappy twin-tails that fans have come to love have been coated with beautiful snow flakes, also a lovely silver color!

But anyway, let’s move onto her optional parts!!

– Oden –

Konjac, fried tofu and fish sausage!
The three main parts of oden! ♡

Dayo-san will be happy to share her love for oden by pushing it into the mouth of her friends!

… I for one would be happy to enjoy some oden with her! ♪

– Salmon Sushi –

This shine! This color! Salmon Sushi!!

Just look how her eyes shine when she holds the sushi in her arms!!(●´ω｀●)
She even comes with special arms to let her hold it like this!!

– Snow Miku Caramel –

A very slim and cute Snow Miku drawn on the package of a ‘Snow Miku Caramel: Milk Flavour’! ♥︎

This is an actual product being sold at various places including Snow Miku Skytown at New Chitose Airport!

Her hand features a little bump that can be used to hold up the Snow Miku Caramel like above!

– Triple berry parfait –

The actual official name of these parts comes from something found on the menu of the MIRAI.ST cafe in Sapporo – the triple berry parfait with premium soft-serve ice cream made from the milk of Shibecha brown Swiss cattle!

A cute parfait glass filled with ice cream and berry colors! Looks delicious!! ♪

Mikudayo is clearly trying her very best to carry it without dropping it… but as it connects to her hand there is a very small chance that that will ever happen!

– Greedy Mode! All the Food! –

Dayo-san surrounded by food…

… I don’t think she could be happier…!

It may seem a little strange to be announcing a Snow Mikudayo- in the middle of Summer… but she will be ready for release right about when Winter comes around! Imagine all the Winter memories you can make! ♪

Nendoroid Shirou Emiya

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I am being ruthlessly attacked by more and more mosquitoes with each passing night! Ah, the wonders of Summer!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a figure currently up for preorder…

Nendoroid Shirou Emiya!

From the popular anime series ‘Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]’ comes a Nendoroid of Saber’s master and the main character of the story, Shirou Emiya! He comes with three expression parts including a gentle smiling face, a confident face for combat as well as a blushing, embarrassed expression.

His weapons of choice, the twin swords Kanshou and Bakuya are both included as well as rolled up poster infused with magic. A selection of the included arm parts are specially articulated allowing for more impressive combat scenes to be posed, even in Nendoroid size! Enjoy the Fifth Holy Grail War shrunk down into Nendoroid size!

“I hope you have enough weapons available!”

The hero of justice who strives to make everyone happy! The Homurahara Academy second year student Shirou Emiya is joining the Nendoroids! He also comes with his swords Kanshou and Bakuya… although even wilding them he still looks rather harmless!! This is why he is known as the gentle hero of justice!!

△ From the back he definitely looks ready for battle!

He also comes with another weapon as an optional part! The rolled up poster infused with magic that he used in the fight against Lancer!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

He even includes special arm parts to display him ready to depend himself! ☆

By the way!

His standard arm is fitted with a non-standard point of articulation that allows for slightly more movement, which means you can move the swords around like so!

Of course the shoulder section is also movable like any other standard Nendoroids, and the combination of those two moving parts actually allows for lots of poses that work even for combat scenes! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ Slightly bent leg parts also add to the dynamic effect! ♪

The combat expression above also has another alternate use!

He comes with a hand part that displays him making use of his command spell – the ability to command one’s servant with absolute obedience!

Look at the details of the mark on his tiny hand!!

Looking at a bit of an angle also allows you to see the eyebrows often covered by his hair rather nicely! It’s amazing how much a small and cute figure can capture such a strong will within the expression!!

Finally, his third expression is quite a jump from the serious expression above…

An embarrassed expression!

Awwwwwww!!! (´□｀｡)

A complete change from the last expression! The way he is scratching his cheek also captures Emiya so perfectly!! I just had to display him with a certain ‘Red Demon’…! ♥︎

Displayed together with Nendoroid Rin Tohsaka!

The combination of their two embarrassed expression really gets the imagination running!! Anyway, you can see that you can easily pose both epic fighting scenes as well as the more gentle everyday life side of Emiya’s life! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Who is he getting ready to fight against now…?!

That’s for you to decide once he joins your collection!! Be sure to display him with the other Fate Nendoroids!

A cute and tiny Hero of Justice!

Nendoroid Shirou Emiya!

He is currently up for preorder!

Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 45: Hero’s Edition

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m becoming better and better friends with my air conditioner almost every day! I don’t think I’d get through this Summer without you by my side…!

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

Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 45: Hero’s Edition

From the hit film ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ comes a Nendoroid of Iron Man Mark 45! The Mark 45 features a brand new sculpt in order to faithfully bring out the changes between all the previous Iron Man armors. The paintwork also features a new composition to provide more depth to the colors of the armor.

This time around the included Tony Stark faceplate has a more confident, serious look on his face. Just like the previously announced ‘Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 43: Hero’s Edition + Ultron Sentries Set’ he comes with a variety of effect parts as well as an alternate front and back head part to display him without his helmet. Various options for all sorts of fun!

The included stand is based on the final battle scene from the series, and can be combined with the base included with the upcoming ‘Nendoroid Captain America’ in order to complete the full circular base! When the two bases are connected together they form a large dioramic base that really brings out the atmosphere of the series for fans to enjoy!

Oooooohhh!! ₍ (ง >ω<)ว ⁾⁾

The Iron Man Nendoroid series continues to get upgraded to the next version! The 45th armor that had a rather large role in the movie ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ is also joining the Nendoroid series! ☆

This time around the suit definitely has a more dense feeling of red to it compared to the previous versions!! (/ω＼)

The jumps between colors and the intricate little details of the body are all beautifully done!! Even from the back he looks amazing!!

How can something so cute and tiny be so epic looking?!

The Nendoroid is fully articulated meaning that if you balance him carefully you can easily balance him like this! As I mentioned before, the detailed lines of the sculpt are incredible – take a close look at his back as well as the area around the knees here!! <○><○>

As with the previous models he also comes with arm and leg effect parts for flying and combat scenes!

△ Fully articulated & twistable hip section for all sorts of poses!

Those of you who have been paying attention may have already noticed, but this version of Iron Man also comes with a rather special base!

If you’ve seen the film or even the trailer you might recognise this!

It’s a base made in the image of the climax scene of the film! You can actually see it in the 90 second Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailer at around the 80 second mark!

This is only half of the base…
but the other half is coming!!

The second half of the base will be included with…

Nendoroid Captain America!

He will be following Iron Man shortly!!☆

He is currently still in production, but as soon as I have any news about him I’ll be sure to share it with everyone!!

Anyway, let’s get back to Iron Man!! ( つ•̀ω•́)つ

Once again he comes with a special left leg part that allows you to recreate the famous landing pose with him punching into the ground!

You can see the turnable chest are also helps a lot in making this pose look great! ♡

Additionally, the Mark 45 also comes with an all new Tony Stark expression part to show off his unmasked form too!

This time he looks serious and ready for business!

Mr. Stark might best be known for his more sarcastic and funny expressions, but he can at times be rather serious as well! An alternate back and front hair part is also included allowing you to display him with the helmet completely removed! ♪

Simply choose whatever you think suits him best!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Enjoy the Avengers: Age of Ultron universe right by your side!
Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 45:
Hero’s Edition

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Plus…

The Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 43: Hero’s Edition + Ultron Sentries Set is also currently up for preorder! The deadline has been extended for fans to grab both the suits in one order!

This version includes the eye-catching Ultron Sentries base!

Of course you can also display the new Iron Man with the Mark 43’s base!

△ There are so many possibilities to create stories here!!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m so clumsy with my hands that I have managed to cut more of my actual clothes instead of the threads I meant to cut in home economics classes… the scissors were so sharp I didn’t notice until it was far too late…!

Her outfit has a super frilly skirt and an off shoulder top! Even the frills on the ends on the outfit have been carefully included on the Nendoroid design! ♥︎

The arm and leg warmers match up with the outfit nicely too! Excellent color coordination!

Not that we expect anything less of the μ’s outfit designer! ε=(｡・д・｡)
She even comes with a sketchbook showing off her latest designs!

Thanks to the support of the publisher, the sketchbook makes use of exact data from the actual series!

The outfit from Honoka, Umi and Kotori’s first stage, ‘START:DASH’!!♡

It’s all thanks to this sketchbook that the μ’s members have such cute outfits!

Anyway, let’s take a look at Kotori-chan’s alternate expression – a pleading expression!! ☆

It’s so cute!! (●´ω｀●)

Noone would say no to that face!

It also reminds me of a certain scene with Honoka-chan…!

The μ’s members are so much fun to display together! Plus by changing expression, arms and all the different angles they are placed at you really can create all sorts of different poses! ♪

△ Practising her singing! ★

By the way! You can of course use all of the original Nendoroid Kotori’s expressions on this version as well! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

(・∀・) “There is one last thing I want to add!”

We’re joined by the figure’s planner – Hamako!!

(・∀・) “In order to recreate a certain popular scene, we actually specially altered her eyes a bit!”

Hmm? A certain scene??

(・∀・) “This one!”

I remember this from season one!! (･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ

Nendoroid Petite: LoveLive! Honoka and Umi-chan are in the background!

(・∀・) “In order to get this to work right, we added a small white line at the top of the eyes!”

Now that you mention it, there is something a little different to her standard eyes!!

△ This uses Nendoroid Kotori Minami‘s head part!

Nendoroid Alice Cartelet

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I spent one week in England once as a home-stay ! I remember that before bed I was given a glass of warm milk and a chocolate chip cookie to eat! It was delicious!!

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

Nendoroid Alice Cartelet!

From the anime series ‘Hello!! Kin-iro Mosaic’ comes a Nendoroid of the English girl who adores both Japan and Shinobu, Alice Cartelet! She comes with three expressions including a cheerful smile, an excited expression as well as a spaced out expression with a pale face.

Optional parts include her favorite Japanese umbrella as well the Japanese doll pencil box she makes use of at school. Enjoy the simple yet lovable everyday life of Alice by your side in Nendoroid size!

Ooooooooohhh!!! (´□｀｡)

The blond haired, blue-eyed English girl who adores Japanese culture is joining the Nendoroid series!! Even the ever so slight pink tips of her hair have been faithfully included recreating her ‘Strawberry Blond’ hair! The Japanese hairpin as well as the Japanese style umbrella are also adorably shrunk into Nendoroid size to show her love for Japan!! (●´ω｀●)

The cute peach colored cardigan she wears over her uniform really brings out her character as well! She’s just so cute!!

△ I love the loose feeling around her hips!

The Japanese umbrella is included with hand parts to hold it as her first optional part! It’s quick and easy to attach and remove!

Her twintails are fitted with Nendoroid joints for all sorts of poses and different nuances!

△ The twisty appearance of her twintails has also been preserved!

Anyway, let’s move on to her expression parts! ☆

Along with this lovely smiling expression with innocent, sparkling eyes, she comes with two other expression parts! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

First up is this excited expression!!

Whenever things get a little too exciting for her she often takes this cute pose… which looks amazing in Nendoroid size!!

Her eyebrows and mouth are so cute on this expression!!

Plus, if you change the way you look at the expression, you can actually change the interpretation quite a lot! It can kind of be used to make her look like she is regretting or feeling jealous about something!

△ Definitely an expression that tells all sorts of stories. ♪

Then we have her third and final expression…

A spaced-out expression! ♡

The rather memorable expression that Alice sometimes takes! (/ω＼)

When she’s walking along without a care… or when something steals her heart… these cute oval eyes and little mouth come out!! Just looking at her like this makes me feel all warm and happy inside!! She also comes with this cute part which work together with the expression nicely! ♥︎

The Japanese doll pencil case!★

Alice loves Japanese culture, so items like this instantly capture her attention! She also comes with a special hand that allows her to hold the doll! (・∀・)

Three expressions, various parts and arms!

There are so many different ways to enjoy the adorable Alice and her everyday life in the Kin-iro Mosaic world!! Won’t you add the blond haired, blue-eyed beauty to your collection?

Nendoroid Alice Cartelet

She’ll be up for preorder from the 31st July! ♥︎

Plus orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include this bonus part!!

The ‘kokeshi doll’ from the series that looks like… someone…! It makes use of the same hand that normally holds the Japanese pencil case doll!

Nendoroid Anna

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

After the long weekend that was WonFes I got a nice 13 hours of sleep in yesterday! Air con… bed… sleep… it was divine!!!

Anyway, even though we are well into the hottest days of the year, today I’m going to be introducing a rather warmly dressed Nendoroid…

Nendoroid Anna!♡

From the hit film ‘Frozen’ comes a Nendoroid of Anna, the younger sister who longs to reconnect with her sister Elsa! The cute freckles on her face have been faithfully included on her Nendoroid rendition, and the outfit she wears to keep the cold out has also been shrunk down into Nendoroid size! The cape, hat and gloves are all removable, so you can also pose her simply wearing her dress with it’s adorable patterns!

She also comes with special parts that allow you to display her walking along with her hands behind her back! Olaf is also included in an alternate version wearing a hat and holding a cane, and she even comes with special hand parts to display her holding hands with Nendoroid Elsa! Be sure to display Elsa, Anna and Olaf all together!

Oooooohhh! (●´ω｀●)

From the first ever Disney movie to feature two heroines, ‘Frozen’ comes a Nendoroid of the younger sister with a fun and cheerful attitude – Anna!! ♪

Take a look at the freckles that made Anna so adorable in the series! They have been faithfully shrunk into Nendoroid size and look so cute… this might the first ever Nendoroid to have freckles!

Her eyes look like they are brimming with curiosity, and the bright and cheerful smile really brings Anna’s personality into the Nendoroid! Just like Elsa the spirit of Disney has been nicely captured and transformed into Nendoroid size! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Let’s take a look at how she looks from the back!

The flowing appearance of her cape and even the little ornaments around the edges have been faithfully included! ♥︎

The bonnet connects between the two hair parts, meaning it can also be removed!

On top of that, you can also remove her cape and gloves to display her in a much more simple outfit that is just as cute!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Removing the bonnet also makes it more clear that the one section of her hair is a different, lighter color!

The braids that twirl all around and over her shoulders also incorporate the different color! What lovely detail! (´□｀｡)

But that’s not the only amazing details! Take a look at her outfit!! While some of the most intricate details has to be held back on, the flower prints on her skirt and chest as well as the patterns along the bottom have been kept even in Nendoroid size! The golden hemming of the upper garment also looks gorgeous, and will stay that way all the way to the actual product!! ♪

She also comes with alternate arm parts to display this pose! (●´ω｀●)

△ A more reserved pose for the normally lively Anna! So cute!

The standard expression that I’ve been using up until now has a rather playful feel to it that really captures Anna’s personality beautifully!

Display her with Elsa and have them looking toward one and other like this!! (´□｀｡)

She also comes with some lovely optional parts other than her clothes!

Olaf is included once again!

This time he has a hat and cane! Summer version Olaf!☆

Olaf’s head is connected with a ball joint which means you can alter the angle to better match various situations as well… plus… the optional part comes with an optional part!

A hair(?) part is included for when his hat is removed!

Simply choose the parts and pose that you think suits him best! But we’re not done just yet! There is still another amazing part included with Nendoroid Anna! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ

Holding hand parts for use with Elsa! ♥︎

This is to remind everyone of that lovely scene from the movie!! The hand parts are included for left and right side separately, so you can also pose them holding just one hand! ♪

You can create all sorts of stories between the two with all these optional parts! Whether they are directly from the movie or completely original scenes – they definitely bring the Frozen world right into your figure collection! ♥︎

Add the cheerful Anna to your collection!!

Nendoroid Anna!

She is up for preorder from tomorrow!♡

Plus, as you really shouldn’t separate the two… Nendoroid Elsa will also be rereleased! Orders will be taken at the same time as Anna ensuring you can grab both of them together!!

Orders for Elsa will open at the same time as Anna! ★

Be sure to check the GSC site tomorrow for more details! Don’t miss out on this chance to add the sister’s to your collection!! ♪

Optional parts include two of the rather peculiar aircraft that fly by her side, as well as the ‘Zero’ plane that she hold in her hands. Additionally, she also comes with parts that allow you recreate certain parts of her special Christmas version that was seen during the Christmas event in December 2014.

Three expression parts are also included – her standard expression, a shouting expression and a cute expression with upturned eyes. Various different parts and expressions to create the Northern Princess you want by your side!

“Go… back…!”The adorable Abyssal ship ‘Hoppo-chan’ also known as the Northern Princess or by her Japanese name ‘Hokuhou Seiki’ is joining the Nendoroids! ♡

Everything about her design from the beautiful white hair, the little horns on top of it, her bare feet, cute white mittens and one piece dress have all been minimized into cute Nendoroid size!! You can also see from the photo above she also comes with all sorts of ship parts!! ヽ(ｏ´∀｀ｏ)ﾉ

She also comes with three expression parts!!

First up is this shouting expression!

△Note the open mouth and cross looking mouth!! Scary and cute all at once!

Next up we this glaring expression…

An expression that makes you think of one of her famous lines!

“I said… don’t… come any… closer…”

She may be adorable, but don’t underestimate her!

There have been many admirals who have suffered the wrath of her fire power… (´□｀｡) As I already mentioned earlier, she also comes with all sorts of ship parts! I’ll take a closer look at them in a bit!

The third and final expression is a slightly mischievous looking expression with upturned eyes! ♥︎

This expression suits her mysterious side so very well!! It’s so adorable!! Each of the expressions really brings out a different side of Hoppo-chan allowing you to enjoy various different sides to her! ♡

Hmm? The ship parts seem a little different now?!

Let’s take a closer look at how they work! The previous KanColle Nendoroids are all known to have very mobile ship parts… and Abyssal ships are no exception!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Let’s take a look from the back! ♪

Each of the arrows in the above photos represents a Nendoroid joint and the areas surrounded by dots can also be moved!

She can be posed in all sorts of ways just like her KanMusu counterparts!

Any just in case you were wondering, these photos are only to show off the ship parts! Don’t go looking underneath her billowing one piece which has been faithfully sculpted!

Anyway!

The runway on the side of her turret also features another little gimmick! If you rotate the runway the turret moves like so!

The turrets are firing away at enemies!! Plus as always, all the ship parts can also be removed if you want to display a much less threatening Hoppo-chan!

△The ship parts by themselves are rather… interesting!!
The mouth area can be opened and closed and the effect parts can be removed!

You can also see some the damaged appearance of the runway has been included on the design! (*´Д｀)=з

Here is Hoppo-chan all alone!! ♪

She’s playing with her little aeroplane!! ☆

She’s just… SO CUTE!!

The small appearance is part of what makes her look so cute, but also note that her hair has some incredible volume… perhaps more than any of the previous Nendoroid Kanmusu!

The way her hair expands outward…

If you take a look at her from directly above you’ll get a good feeling for the space it takes up!

You can’t even see her body any more!!

While the skirt gives the Nendoroid a rather dynamic feeling, the hair is no exception! It really seems to be moving about, and no matter what angle you choose to look from it simply looks fantastic! (●´ω｀●)

Holding her in my hand like in the photo before this one actually makes me feel strangely relaxed inside…

Plus there are still more optional parts to come…! ♡

She comes with a hat and present part!!

This allows you to recreate part of the limited edition Christmas Hoppo-chan that was seen during Christmas 2014! The hat attaches onto the left horn part!! (・∀・)

Ship parts with a Christmas Tree are also included! っヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

△ The Christmas tree is interchangeable with the standard part!

Nendoroid Hoppo-chan is scheduled to be released in December 2015, which makes these parts rather appropriate… she would make a great Christmas present for any Admirals out there!★

△ She would make a lovely Christmas decoration too!

Now… another thing many of you might be wondering while looking at these photos is…how is is that some photos how Hoppo-chan’s mouth, and others hide it??

The collar part of her outfit has a thick and thin side to it, meaning you can switch the part around to show more or less of the face! Many of my photos are taken at an angle so some of them might be hard to tell which side of the collar I am using though… sorry! (/ω＼)

Simply put though, by turning this part around, you can choose between hiding and showing Hoppo-chan’s mouth! ☆

Combined with all the expressions and parts, this allows for so many different posing options!! Be sure to add the cute Hoppo-chan to your collection and give her the love she deserves… I’m sure she won’t sink your fleet!

Nendoroid Northern Princess!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 24th July 2015!

As usual, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a special Nendoroid Base and box sleeve as a bonus!! ♪

The box sleeve wraps around the normal packaging like so!

※ The above is Nendoroid Ryujo’s Bonus Sleeve.

Be sure to keep the bonus in mind when preordering! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Nendoroid Umi Sonoda: Training Outfit Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The heat has gotten to me really badly now… I almost can’t stop eating ice cream to keep cool! If this keeps up I get the feeling my weight is going to regret it!

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

Nendoroid Umi Sonoda:
Training Outfit Ver.☆

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a Nendoroid of Umi Sonoda wearing her training outfit! She comes with both an embarrassed expression to show that she can be rather shy, as well as a serious expression to show her diligent side! A diet plan as well as a practice menu are also included for her to ensure the other μ’s members are keeping up with their training too!

She also comes with parts that allow you to pose her shooting a ‘Love Arrow’, perfect to pose together with the embarrassed expression! A special ‘holding hands’ hand part is also included for use with the ‘Ima wa Bokura no Naka de’ LoveLive! Nendoroid series. The other μ’s members are also going to be joining the Nendoroid series in their training outfits, so be sure to look out for them too!

Ooooooooooohhh!! (σ・∀・)σ

The beautiful girl with a dignified air about her! Nendoroid Umi-chan is back again in another outfit!! She normally has a serious, strict personality… which is what makes the rather worried and embarrassed expression so amazing! Just look how adorable she looks!!

She is the second in this second set of LoveLive! Nendoroids, following on from Honoka-chan!♡

#1: Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka: Training Outfit Ver.

Umi-chan’s training outfit is rather different to Honoka’s! She is wearing a hoodie and three-quarter length pants for a much more sporty style! (*´Д｀)=з

If we spin her around to the back, you can even see that the hood of the hoodie has been faithfully sculpted onto the design!

There aren’t very many sporty girls in the Nendoroid series! It’s quite a refreshing sight!★

They do look rather easy to move around in, which is exactly what I would expect Umi-chan to wear! The fact that you can see her ankles sticking out still give the outfit a rather feminine charm at the same time! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The embarrassed pose I started off with is lovely, but another pose that suits this expression nicely is this one!

Love Arrow, Shoot!

The hesitant look on her face is what makes the expression so cute! ♥︎
Don’t worry Umi-chan! Your arrow has pierced my heart!!

Of course, you can also use the expressions from the original ‘Bokura wa Ima no Naka De‘ Nendoroid!

By the way, this pose makes use of the same arm parts as the above ‘Love Arrow’ pose! Just changing the angle of the arms can make for a rather different pose! ♪

You can also make use of the blowing kiss expression included with Nendoroid Umi Sonoda for a much more confident looking Love Arrow!! ♥︎

Having both of the Nendoroid definitely allows for a lot more options to enjoy!I’m sure Umi fans will come up with many more lovely ideas too!!

However let’s get back to today’s Nendoroid! She actually comes with another expression!

A serious expression! <○><○>

This expression captures Umi-chan’s strong will as she shows her stricter side with the other μ’s members! The huge difference between this expression and the previous embarrassed expression is quite a jump!! (´□｀｡)

She also comes with a practice menu and attachment parts to stand it up!

The details…!!

I can’t wait to display all the girls in their training outfits being lectured by Umi-chan… (●´ω｀●) Plus she also comes with another optional part that matches up with the serious expression!

A diet plan!! (/ω＼)

This pose is perfect to display together with the expression that was included with Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka: Training Outfit Ver.!

△ Honoka not looking forward to a diet!

The planner for the figure was Hamako, and she said the idea behind the expression parts was to allow you to display them not only alone, but also to bring out the atmosphere of the story and series by displaying them together with other characters! I’m sure we can expect more exciting expressions to come with the upcoming girls too!!

You can also have her watching you!!

“Ooh Chocolate! I love this chocolate!!!!”

…! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

“Umi-chan… is… watching!!”

You simply need to place her somewhere you can always see her, and then every time you’re about to enjoy some fattening snacks you’ll remember you’re being watched! Perhaps with Umi-chan by my side I can finally succeed in my own diet…! (ﾉ)・ω・(ヾ)

Plus just like Honoka before her, she comes with holding hand parts that are designed for use with the original Nendoroid series! ♪

△ Example of use with the original LoveLive! Nendoroid series!

The training outfit series is designed to being out more of the everyday life side of the μ’s members, instead of their idol side!

Here we have Umi-chan forcing a diet on them! ☆
I can’t wait for Kayochin’s Training Outfit version!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Enjoy the everyday life of the μ’s members!

Nendoroid Umi Sonoda: Training Outfit Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!! ♥︎

Plus just like Honoka, if you preorder her from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP, you’ll receive a special Special Nendoroid Background Sheet (Blue Sky) and Special Nendoroid Stand as a bonus! ♪

Note that the background is different to the one included with Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka: Training Outfit Ver.!

I think you can see more and more how these are going to connect up… look forward to the complete design!!

Skeletal Sega Saturn & Nendoroid Sega Saturn

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have a weird pain in my legs today…
I think perhaps I have been exercising in my sleep! ( ･ὢ･ )

Anyway today I’m going to be taking a look at two items from FREEing, starting off with…

Skeleton Sega Saturn!

From the popular series that features characters that represent Sega’s past video game consoles, ‘Sega Hard Girls’ comes a scale figure of the ‘COOL’ Sega Saturn wearing a semi-transparent outfit!Her characteristic twin staves have been beautifully sculpted in her hands, and clear materials have been used to recreate the transparent effect of her costume, creating a figure filled with highlights! Enjoy the resurrected legend of the Sega Saturn console as an adorable character by your side!

Ooooooooohhh! (´□｀｡)

As the ‘Skeletal’ name suggests, this anthropomorphic version of the Sega Saturn has all sorts of clear parts! She has been sculpted in lovely detail for fans to enjoy!

I love the way her slowly becomes more transparent toward the tips! It gives her a lovely mysterious charm!

She has a lovely build which really comes out with the bare skin shown on areas such as her cute stomach and upper arms! The sculpting really makes it look as if her skin should be soft to the touch! ★

Plus her sleeveless jacket also features transparent parts that simply look amazing!

The billowing of the jacket and fluttering skirt also give a bit of a dynamic feeling to the sculpt! Plus even from the back that soft looking skin looks delicious!! (*゜ー゜*)

All the little accessories and details of the outfit are so filled with love! The colors are also magnificent! ♪

△The ribbons at her feet are not only sculpted to look light just like real fabric,
but the gradient paintwork also looks amazing!

Plus if we take a look from the side…!

Note the pleats on her skirt as well as the rather shapely body underneath it!

Once you’ve added her to your collection, be sure to take a nice long look…. with your fingers!

Plus the neckband and twin staves can all be attached and removed as you see fit!

You can see photos of this over on the product page, so be sure to take a look!

Moving on, I also want to take a look at…

Nendoroid Sega Saturn!

From the anime adaption of ‘Sega Hard Girls’ titled ‘Hi☆sCoool! Seha Girls’ comes a Nendoroid of Sega Saturn! She comes complete with her twin staves as well as a Nendoroid-sized Sega Saturn console and controller for her to play on!She also comes with special sitting parts so she can plonk down and enjoy some gaming! Various expression parts are also included for a 64-bit class Nendoroid!

Headshot! Sega Saturn!!

A cute smile, twin staves, dichromatic eyes and lovely black twin tails! Sega Saturn is also joining the Nendoroids! ♡

By the way, her black collar necklace attaches via ball joint at the back, so you can actually alter the angle that it is placed in! This allows for various different nuances and also means it won’t get the way of other poses!

△ Her twin tails are attached with Nendoroid joints!

She also comes with cute sitting parts that allow you to display her enjoying an epic game!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

△ Hey! I know this console!!

Nendoroid Sega Saturn even comes with a Nendoroid-sized Sega Saturn console and controller!!

The miniature console is so tiny, but has it’s characteristic design carefully sculpted on! She also comes with alternate expression parts that make her look a little bot more upset with the result of the game!

Although… if you change the way you’re looking at it, it can also kind of be seen as a victory pose! (/ω＼)

The ability to swap around parts and poses like this to create a little story with your favorite characters is one of the things that makes action figures like Nendoroids so much fun! ♪

You can also recreate scenes from the series!

“I’m not THAT old!!”

She comes with a total of three different expressions, allowing for various different situations! ♡

Nendoroid Sega Saturn &

Skeletal Sega Saturn

They are both up for preorder! ♥︎

＼Don’t miss out!／
ヽ(･ω･´(｀･ω･´)ﾉ｀･ω･)ﾉ

Plus…
Sega Hard Girls Trading Rubber Straps are also currently up for preorder!☆

Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, Mega Drive, SG-1000, SC-3000, Sega Mark III, Master System, Game Gear, Visual Memory and Robo Pitcher! A total of ten to collect! ♪

Nendoroid Akira Oono

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I love games but I’m absolutely terrible at them. I think there are only about three games that I’ve actually managed to complete…

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

Nendoroid Akira Oono!

From Rensuke Oshikiri’s manga series ‘High Score Girl’ comes a Nendoroid of the silent heroine, Akira Oono! She comes with three expression parts including a blank standard expression, an angry expression that works perfectly with the included punch effect parts as well as a cute face with an open mouth to pose her eating.

Optional parts include some candy as well as a fried squid for her to eat, as well as an arcade machine – all sorts of items that simply had to be included to recreate various popular scenes from the series. Enjoy some retro games with Akira Oono by your side!

Ooooooohhhhh!! (*´∀｀*)

The beautiful, intelligent gamer with undeniable talent, Akira Oono is joining the Nendoroid series!

Those glaring eyes have been transformed into Nendoroid size without losing any of their charm! Plus she also comes with a lollipop to show how much she loves sweet things! ☆

Plus this part just had to be included…!

An arcade console!!

The console is included together with a chair part! (ﾉ｀・∀・)ﾉ

Plus she even comes with sitting parts which allow you to seat her at the console like so! ♡

△ She looks so serious…!

The buttons and joysticks are also so intricately detailed!

The joystick is even planned to be slightly movable!

Akira Oono is normally a very silent, mature young lady… but when the time comes to be assertive she can be a lot stronger than she looks!

△ Even from the back she looks like she’d be good at games!

She comes with parts to show that side of her too!★

**＼Kick／**

And after the kick comes…

This expression is too cute!! (●´ω｀●)

The way her mouth is all curvy in frustration is just amazing…!

The curvy mouth is actually sculpted as being curvy too! It’s not just paintwork! The punching effect parts are the kind that connect directly onto her arm parts to show off Akira’s quick attacks!

Anyway, it seems she is rather upset, so let’s give her something sweet to much on to calm her down…♥︎

Here she is holding a real-size lollipop!
(Rather large when compared to the included lollipop parts! (°Д°；≡°Д°；) )

She still looks a little angry though…
but when she does eat something, then…

She comes with a cute eating expression as well as some fried squid on a stick! ☆

The mouth is actually made slightly hollowed inward allowing you to pose things actually entering into her mouth! She really seems happy to be munching on something!

I get full on happiness simply watching cute girls enjoying tasty food! ε=(｡・д・｡)

＼*nom*／

I think she has gotten over her anger from earlier now!! (´□｀｡)

Akira might normally be a quite character, but it’s all that quietness that let’s her build up the tension for her fun times and gags with Haruo! Be sure to add her to your collection and create all sorts of high school girl situations!

Nendoroid Akira Oono!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a special bonus…

Taiyaki parts!! ♡

They work perfectly with this expression! ♪

Just look how happy she looks munching on that taiyaki!

Be sure to check the GSC Site tomorrow for more details and photos!!
