Nendoroid Black Gold Saw: TV ANIMATION Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I was always bad with the electric saw in arts and craft classes making each and everyone of them a huge struggle for no real reason… the way something so thin could cut through wood so easily was always kind of scary! (´=ω=`)

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

Nendoroid Black Gold Saw: TV ANIMATION Ver.

From the anime that aired during Fuji TV’s noitaminA block, ‘Black Rock Shooter’ comes a Nendoroid of Black Gold Saw in her updated design from the TV anime series! Her trademark weapon, the giant ‘King Saw’ as well as the watering can she used in the series are both included. Additionally, the ‘incomplete girls’ from the series are also included in miniature size.

She comes with two expressions including her standard expression as well as a combat expression for fighting scenes. Her knees are also specially articulated, allowing you to recreate even more of your favorite scenes from the series!

It’s been about two years since the series aired on noitaminA, but finally we have the fifth character join the Nendoroid series!

Black Gold Saw has always been the more relaxed of the characters, and that composed look transfers into Nendoroid form beautifully! ♡

Of course her giant weapon ‘King Saw’ is included too, and it looks rather frightening, even in Nendoroid size! (`・ω・´)

The little ornaments all over her outfit have been painted and sculpted with such intricacy! She also comes with a combat expression, perfect for displaying together with the King Saw! ♡

The teeth sticking out the side of her mouth add both a cute aspect and gives her a look that is ready for combat!

Just like the OVA version of Gold Saw, she also features joints in her knees for extra little changes when striking a pose! Those smaller changes are really what make for the most personalized displays! ε=(。・д・。)

I absolutely love this silent, menacing look she has while holding the King Saw… as if ready to strike at any point! (/ω\)

(・∀・) “There is still a lot more to her though!”

Today we’re joined by the head planner of this Nendoroid, Otanaka!

(・∀・) “This time she even comes with her watering can!

Oooh! I remember this!! ( ゚д゚)!

(・∀・) “I’m sure you do! It was used in the series to increase the number of incomplete girls in the Hollow World!”

It also has a similar appearance to the King Saw, which helps bring the whole figure together nicely! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

(・∀・) “But that’s not all… if the watering can is included, then these also just had to be included!”

Ooh! The Incomplete Girls are also included?!

(・∀・) “Yep! we decided to include two of them too! The expressions are even slightly different!”

I-It’s true!! (゚A゚;)

** Size comparison with wooser **

(・∀・) “The heads are even turnable, allowing for slightly different renditions!”

By the way… a strange pedestal has been featuring in the last few photos…? Could it be what I think it is?

(・∀・) “That’s a special stand included with her! It’s based on the elevated areas in the series!”

So that means an extra stand is included too! (ノ`・∀・)ノ
Definitely a suitable stand for the BRS universe too!♡

(・∀・) “I recommend displaying her with the other characters from the series to bring out the universe even more!”

Add her to your collection and sink into the BRS world!

Nendoroid Black Gold Saw: TV ANIMATION Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow, the 27th February! (`・ω・´)

Nendoroid Sasara

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Not only am I completely unable to swim… I also am terrible at fishing! I once went fishing for rainbow trout and ended up going home without even a nibble… even though I was fishing in a fish tank!! Water-related sports are definitely not for me…

But anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a figure that went up for preorder a little while back…

Nendoroid Sasara! ♡

From the original anime series ‘Fantasista Doll’ comes a Nendoroid of one of the five girls that appeared before Uzume – the leader type doll, Sasara! She comes with three different expression parts including her standard smiling face, a combat face and a winking face.

Optional parts include her fencing sword as well as kneeling parts to recreate the popular scene from the series. Be sure to display her with the previously announced Nendoroid Uzume Uno to recreate even more scenes from the series!

\ Fantasista Doll / \ Hey! / \ Hey! /

The second Nendoroid from Fantasista Doll following on from the previously announced Nendoroid Uzume Uno! Her pony-tail also articulated at a very high point allowing for all sorts of poses!

Her adorable outfit is sculpted in amazing detail! It has a bit of a regal look to it, and the ribbon and stars all over the design make for a lovely and original design! (*´▽`*)

Her fencing sword is also included to pose her ready for combat! The little peek of skin between her skirt and shorts is also lovely! ( -ノェ-)

Her expressions include the smiling face above… as well as this cute frowning expression!

She looks so sincere! The upturned eyebrows make it perfect! (`・ω・´)

(・∀・) “This expression is perfect for a very special pose!”

We’re joined by Sasara’s planner, Otanaka-shi!

(・∀・) “This pose!”

Ooh! I recognise this! ( ゚д゚)

(・∀・) “Yep! Special sitting parts are included to recreates the scene where Uzume scolds her and the others! You could also see it as a sulking pose!”

She’s even barefoot! ♪ A perfect rendition! ♡

She also looks great displayed with Uzume!

(・∀・) “If you’re going to pose them together, I recommend the winking expression!”

Oooh!!! (*´▽`*)! She’s adorable!!

(・∀・) “She’s adorable alone… but even more adorbale with Uzume by her side, which allows you to recreate the ending theme pose! I wanted to show everyone, but Uzume’s expression parts are currently off in China!!”

Ah! You just gave away why I displayed her with only her back showing in the last photo! ^^;

Anyway – at least there is a release photo featuring the pose, which should still give everyone a good idea!

The ending theme in Nendoroid size!! っ( ;∀;)

(・∀・) “Posing her together with Uzume definitely allows for a lot more scenes from the show! It really brings out the Fantasista Doll atmosphere!”

Become a master yourself with Sasara by your side!
Or alternatively display her with her real master, Uzume!

Nendoroid Sasara!

She’s available for preorder now! ♡

Orders from the Good Smile Online Shop will continue until the 19th March at 12:00JST : http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/gscnenwd00397.html

Be careful not to miss out! (`・ω・´)

Nendoroid Nagisa Momoe

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My favorite kind of cheese is Parmigiano-Reggiano, and on that note today I’m going to be taking a look at a cheese-loving Puella Magi…

Nendoroid Nagisa Momoe! ♥

From the popular anime movie ‘Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Rebellion Story’ comes a Nendoroid of the newest character in the series, Nagisa Momoe, wearing her Puella Magi outfit! Optional parts include her trumpet weapon with effect parts, as well as her beloved cheese! The Dessert Familiar is also included!

She also comes with three expressions including her standard smiling face, an expression with an open mouth and a Bebe expression. You can easily create cute battle scenes from the series! ♪

Nagisa-chan!! (*´▽`*)

The long-awaited released of the character who debuted in the third Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie, Nagisa Momoe!! She comes with some amazing optional parts… which I’ll be revealing for everyone today!!

But let’s start off with how she looks from the back! ☆

Look at her long, fluffy looking hair! Don’t you just wish you could comb your fingers through it?! Anyway, let’s move onto the optional parts! ♪

First up we have the ‘Dessert Familiars’ standing beside her! ★

They’re so cute!! Two are included for double the fun!
The cute circular form and polka-dotted bodies look lovely! ♡

Their thin arms, leg and tail are also adorable! I really love these two!! (/ω\)
Nagisa’s tights also faithfully keep their polka-dotted pattern!

Ah… I’m starting to want to rewatch the movie more and more!

The smaller details on her outfit also stand out beautifully – such as the candy-shaped soul gem holder on her belt, as well as the ribbons at the end of her suspenders! They are painted so intricately! ♥

Nagisa’s Puella Magi outfit is actually a poncho by design, but on the Nendoroid we made it into a sleeve in order for her to hold her weapon – the trumpet!

The trumpet also comes with attachable effect parts to display it in use just like in the series! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Her trumpet has a lovely upbeat feeling to it… but personally her adorable expression is what gets me every time!! (゚A゚;) She’s such an adorable small little character, but at the same time she is also so strong!

(・∀・) “Nagisa-chan comes with other adorable expressions too!”

We’re joined by her head planner, Yassan!

(・∀・) “I took over this project from Oda-P when he left. The actual ideas were all his, I was more involved with getting everything approved!”

Even so, you must know her better than most! What makes Nagisa’s other expressions so good? (`・ω・´)

(・∀・) “Hmm… let’s start off with this!”

Ooh!! Cheese!! Cheese and sitting parts!

(・∀・) “Yep! We had to include her favorite food – her cheese! You can even pose her sitting down and munching on it!”

Sitting with her legs out in front her of her like this really seems to suit her personality perfectly. (*´▽`*)

(・∀・) “But there are more cute poses to come!”

Ta-da!!

Ooooh!!! (*´Д`)

(・∀・) “This expression works perfectly with the cheese eating pose!”

Her floppy sleeves make the pose even cuter to me…!

(・∀・) “There is still another very special expression though!”

…( ゚ロ゚)

(( ロ゚)゚

((( ロ)~゚ ゚

(・∀・) “Yep! She comes with a Bebe expression!”

We’re managed to keep this expression a little secret for quite some time!

(・∀・) “I wanted to show everyone as soon as possible… but I was told it would have more impact if we held it back till the very end!”

The familiars on the tray are also included to display along with it!
(°Д°;≡°Д°;)

(・∀・) “It’s cute in a weird kind of way… something I’m sure many fans will enjoy!”

Super cute and even comes with a Bebe expression!

Nendoroid Nagisa Momoe! ♥

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

Nendoroid Asuna: Titania Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve recently been looking at cute parrots on Twitter to calm my nerves… they’re strangely relaxing to look at! I’ve also recently become rather interested in inko ice cream…!

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

Nendoroid Asuna: Titania Ver.!


 

From the anime series ‘Sword Art Online’ comes a Nendoroid of Asuna in her fairy form that was trapped up in the World Tree. She comes with three different expressions including her standard expression, as well as a joyful expression with tears in her eyes to recreate the scene she reunited with Kirito and Yui.

Her third expression is a pained expression, which also comes with creeper plants to display her tied up in the cage. Kneeling parts are also included to complete the scene in its entirety! Her expressions can also be switched with the original Nendoroid Asuna, allowing for even more possibilities!

Oooh!! (*´▽`*) Welcome my desk!!

A cute Nendoroid of Asuna from the Fairy Dance arc! Together with parts to display her as the Fairy King’s captive! ♡

One of my favorite things about this Nendoroid is of course the included cage!

The bottom of the cage has multiple holes to connect a standard Nendoroid stand, so you can stably pose any Nendoroid inside with ease! (`・ω・´)

The door of course opens and closes making it really seem the Nendoroid really is completely trapped inside!

(・∀・) “There is also a hole on the top of the birdcage… can you guess why?”

We’re joined by the planner for the figure… Yuri-chan Honpo!

Hmm, I see there is a hole in the triangular point at the top… is this what I think it is? (; ・`ω・´)

(・∀・) “The hole is there for you to slide your own rope through, allowing you to do this…!!”

(・∀・) “Trapped up in the World Tree!! ♪”

Ooh, I see!! A hole to thread a rope through, and hang the cage up high!

(・∀・) “Ah, but note that there is no rope included with the product itself! You’ll need to provide your own – it’s definitely a fun way to display her though! Make sure the rope is strong enough to support her!”

The atmosphere of the SAO world definitely seemed to jump out a lot more as soon as she was hanging from the tree! ε=(。・д・。)

I also look forward to displaying other Nendoroids in the cage! I think this picture captures her desire to be free really nicely!

(・∀・) “We focused on more than just the bird cage though! You can even use expressions from the standard Nendoroid Asuna for even more options!”

Hmm? Most Nendoroid expressions are exchangeable, that’s not very special!

(・∀・) “Think again! Titania’s ears are not exactly standard ears, so the expressions wouldn’t swap without a few special changes!”

Ah! I see!! Her ears are really the main change to her appearance in the Fairy Dance arc after all! But… does that mean that this Asuna’s expressions can’t be used on the normal Asuna? (´;ω;`)

(・∀・) “We’ve made the ears a part of the hair parts, meaning you can easily swap them either way! The standard ears will be covered up by the Fairy Dance ears!”

Yay! Definitely a very thoughtful change! Here is an example of the standard Nendoroid’s expression on Titania’s body!

(・∀・) “Yay! Isn’t she cute?! She’s so cute!! ♡”

I can see just how much you love Asuna by the work you put into this option! Let’s take a look at the expressions included with Nendoroid Asuna: Titania Ver.! ♪

First up we have her longing expression!

How could anyone look into those uneasy eyes and not want to rescue her?! I’ll save you Asuna, just you wait!!

Next up we have her joyful expression!

This expression was made in the image of the scene where she reunites with Kirito and Yui! ♡ I’m sure the expression could be used for various other scenes too! (`・ω・´)

By the way, the photo above pictures Asuna thanking me, her hero, for rescuing her from the cage!! However we cannot stay together, so we part with tears in our eyes, but joy in our hearts!
*My imagination is hard to put into words sometimes…

Finally we have her ”captured” expression!! (゚A゚;)ゴクリ

A pained expression!!

Special parts are included to recreate the vines that tie her to the cage!


(・∀・) “Although it’s not an exact replica, we wanted to recreate the scene where she was tied up by the Fairy King Oberon! After trying a few different options, this is what we settled on! Perfect for recreating her desire to be rescued by Kirito-kun”

Not to mention that it can be used in various other angles for a different feel!

With a quick switch of pose, it can be made to look like she is praying with all her might! I think it would also work quite nicely as an embarrassed tsundere face! ((o(´∀`)o))

(・∀・) “Another important notice from me! This item will not be available in standard stores!”

The 1/7th Scale:
Asuna ~Captured Titania~!

From the popular anime Sword Art Online comes a 1/7th scale figure of the heroine ‘Asuna’! The figure features Asuna in her Titania avatar from the Fairy Dance Arc, posed as a captive of the Fairy King Oberon.

Metal chains are included with the figure allowing you to complete her captured appearance in its entirety. The sorrowful look on her face, her long flowing hair and the plants growing around her arms are all sculpted to the finest of details for fans to enjoy!

The overall feeling between the Nendoroid and scale figure is rather different… the sexy side definitely comes out more! (●´ω`●)

The combination of the pose, outfit and amazing sculpting of the stomach… delicious!! (*´▽`*)♡

Nendoroid Alisa Illinichina Amiella

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Ever since the Olympics started it’s become a daily routine for me to watch the relays when I get home… Japan may be cold and snowy at the moment, but the Winter Olympics sure to look chilly too! (=◇=;)

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

Nendoroid Alisa Illinichina Amiella!


From the popular action game ‘GOD EATER 2’ comes a Nendoroid of the popular heroine who debuted in the original game, Alisa! She is of course equipped with her ‘God Arc’ weapon, which comes in both its standard ‘Blade Form’, as well as its ‘Gun Form’ and ‘Predator Form’! All the forms keep their imposing appearances even in the cute Nendoroid size!

But that’s not all – she also comes with various other parts including the Aragami ‘Ogretail’, as well as three different expressions – her standard face, a shouting face for combat scenes and an embarrassed face! A huge collection of parts to help fans recreate their favorite scenes from the game, and experience the unique GOD EATER atmosphere in the cutest form ever!

She’s finally ready to go up for order! (*´▽`*)

The most central member of the ‘Cradle’ branch, the beautiful Alisa! Her characteristic red hat, chequered mini-skirt and all the smaller details of her outfit all look great!

The Fenrir emblem on her back is also faithfully shrunk down to Nendoroid size!

Her hair is sculpted with a slight curl to the left giving it a slightly dynamic feeling based on the official character art! (σ・∀・)σ

But the most important thing I want to push about this figure is her amazing ‘God Arc’ weapon… which comes in three different forms!

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

• Blade Form

You can see the weapon has the same amazing presence that it had in the games…! Even in chibi-size it still has a heavy look about it that makes it such an original weapon! (`・ω・´)ゞ

Looking from above you get an better feel for the size! ☆

You can also see that the detail isn’t only focused on the front – it’s just as detailed and amazing no matter what angle you look from! Plus it comes with effect parts perfect for combat scenes! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Here she is posed with the effect parts as well as her ‘combat’ expression… ready to combat Aragami big and small!

She even comes with an Orgetail Aragami to fight against! (o・ω・o)

I think I’d rather keep one as a pet instead of fighting it…!

In order to match with the Nendoroid design the Ogretail’s face has a bit of a comical feel about it! I’m told that the production team really struggled to get a good balance between ‘cute’ and ‘scary’, but I think he came out looking great!

But let’s get back to the adorable Alisa! She looks ready for anything! ♡

• Gun Form

The second form is also sculpted down to the finest of details! The shiny, mecha-like appearance also looks amazing! (・∀・)

Once again effect parts are also included to pose her using the weapon! ♡

Why is it that makes girls with guns so charming?! She looks fantastic! (/ω\)

I said the Blade Form had an amazing presence, but the Gun Form certainly isn’t any less noticeable! However… the biggest is still to come! (`・ω・´)

• Predator Form

It’s huge!! It’s so huge that it’s hard to see as a Nendoroid weapon! (゚A゚;)
Placing just the weapon on my hand for comparison!

It’s about the same size as my hand…!

It’s even big enough to eat wooser!!

Once again you can pose her with the weapon and Ogretail to create a fighting scene from the game! ♡

It’s hard to believe that all three of these amazing weapons are included! What an amazing set!! (°Д°;≡°Д°;)

The team must have put so much time and resources into this one Nendoroid…!

(・∀・) “But the weapons aren’t the only thing we focused on!”

We’re joined by the head planner, Otanaka-shi!

(・∀・) “We definitely did put a lot of work into the God Arc weapons… but these is another feature we made sure came out perfectly… a feature that Alisa is fairly famous for!”

Ah! I know! Her flat chest!!

(・∀・) “You hardly even notice it when she has the huge weapons out… but when you take a closer look…”

Alisa is definitely rather popular for the the little peek of chest from the opening in her shirt… even if there isn’t much to see! The way her skirt is curling upward slightly brings out Alisa’s sexy side a little more! (/ω・\) *peek*

(・∀・) “We know Alisa is well known as a confident God Eater… but she also comes with this expression to capture her other side!”

Awww!!! She’s adorable!! (*´▽`*)

(・∀・) “A blushing expression made to look like she’s trying to hide her embarrassment! It really gives a completely different feeling when compared to the other two expressions!”

I don’t know how much more I can take!(*´Д`)=з

You can even display her like this – with her embarrassed expression and hand out, as if inviting you to come with her! ♥

(・∀・) “You really get such a large set of options to display her with – pick whichever side of Alisa you enjoyed the most!”

Packed with weapons, an Aragami and a delicious flat chest…! ♡

Nendoroid Alisa Illinichina Amiella!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow, the 20th February!
Be sure to check the GSC site for more details tomorrow! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I tried building an igloo with all the snow over the weekend, but eventually gave up. Firstly because they were sold out of snow shovels at my local hardware store, and secondly because I was all alone in the endeavour… 🙁

The snow may have come to an end, but the floor is still slippery with snow and ice, so everyone take care!! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a Nendoroid with a smile that will blow away the cold any day!

Nendoroid Saki Miyanaga! ♡

 

From the anime filled with cute girls and mahjong, ‘Saki: Zengokuhen’ comes a Nendoroid of Saki Miyanaga! She comes with three expressions including a smiling face, a focused face and a lost expression about to burst into tears! She also comes with a number of optional parts from the series including a mahjong table, replacement tile effect parts and a lightning effect part!

Additionally she also comes with both her long skirt for the national tournaments as well as her mini-skirt used in the prefectural matches! Be sure to display her with the previously released Nendoroid Nodoka Haramura for even more fun!

I’ve been waiting for her for ages!! ♪♪

The cute Mahjong player is heading to the Nationals to prove her skills… but she’s also headed to the land of the Nendoroids to prove her cuteness!! Saki Miyanaga! ♪

Officially this Nendoroid comes from ‘Saki: Zengokuhen’, but don’t forget that Nendoroid Nodoka Haramura was previously released from ‘Saki Achiga-hen episode of Side-A’ – so she is actually the second in the series of Nendoroids!
ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Finally the main character of the series has joined the Nendoroids!

Holding onto her Mahjong tile and ready for action! ☆

Obviously she doesn’t just come with a tile though… in fact she comes with a rather impressive optional part!

A mahjong table! ♡

Originally the plan was to make it a lot smaller than this… but GSC’s resident mahjong lover decided that “If we’re going to make it then we may as well make it big!”. So we ended up making a chair as well, as well as adding some rather impressive details on the board too!

Plus she even comes with some effect parts for double the fun!

These parts allow you to pose Saki playing her best moves!! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Anyway, let’s move on by taking a look at her expression parts! Along with the lovely smile above she also comes with this expression even seen in the first episode of the new season! ♡

That innocent expression ready to burst into tears makes me want to protect her!! I’ll keep her company no matter where she goes to ensure she never gets lost again… I’ll even accompany her to the toilet!!

By the way, this expression can also be used in various other ways!

wooser: “Would you like to play some…. strip mahjong?”
Saki:”…!!”

I’m sure there are many other situations you could think of to use it with too!

Additionally, she also comes with an awakened expression, showing her focused and ready to beat anyone in her next match! (゚A゚;)

(・∀・) “Her awakening can be made even more epic by the addition of these effect parts!”

We’re joined today by the planner for Nendoroid Saki… Kyojin!

(・∀・) “These lightning effect parts connect to her front hair parts and stay in place very securely!!”

This expression plus the effect parts suddenly give Saki-chan a very intimidating air! She looks ready to take over the mahjong world!!

(・∀・) “There is one other extra she comes with… you may have noticed that her skirt here is rather long…”

… I think I know where this is going! Σ(・ω・ノ)ノ

(・∀・) “She also comes with a mini-shirt to switch between!”

…!?

Is she not… wearing any…?

(・∀・) “I’m not at liberty to say anything about that! You’ll have to wait and see what is underneath when you pick her up for yourself!”

Now that I think about it, I guess Nodoka’s was about the same length…

(・∀・) “Speaking of Nodoka-chan… Saki comes with special parts to pose the two together!”

Ah… this is the famous scene from the series!! (´;ω;`)

(・∀・) “Seen they were both released as Nendoroids now, we had to make a special arm part to allow them to be posed making a pinky promise!”

This means I just have to display them together with each other!

A Nendoroid allowing for all sorts of scenes from the show, great compatibility with Nodoka and loads of lovely optional parts…

Nendoroid Saki Miyanaga!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 18th February! ♡

Plus Nendoroid Nodoka Haramura will also be rereleased to go together with Saki! You can find the details about this over on the GSC home page tomorrow!!

Nendoroid Seira Hoshikawa & Medicchu Tenryuu & Tatsuta Set! ♡

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at two separate products, starting off with a standard release and moving back to the WonFes reviews!

First up is one who holds the power of The Star’s elemental tarot…

Nendoroid Seira Hoshikawa!

From the anime series ‘Day Break Illusion’ comes a Nendoroid of the character who holds the power of The Star’s elemental tarot, Seira Hoshikawa!

Seira comes with two completely separate head parts, allowing you to display her in both her standard and transformed versions! She also comes with ‘The Star’ tarot card as well as her weapon, the Crystal Bow, allowing you to pose her in all sorts of scenes from the series. Be sure to display her with the previously announced Nendoroid Akari Taiyo!

The beautiful Seira with her cool, focused personality is joining Akari-chan in the Nendoroid world! ♡

Even as a Nendoroid she boasts such a powerful presence! Sometimes its nice to see confident characters like this instead of the standard cute once in awhile!

Seira was driven and focused, suppressing all her personal feelings when battling against the Daemonia. But after meeting Akari and the others she becomes a little more open minded and friendly! ( -ノェ-)

Just like Akari, she comes with her elemental tarot card included!

The contrast of the adorable Nendoroid design and the confident looking expression is so lovely! As she is the user of ‘The Star’ elemental tarot, you can see her character design is filled with stars making for a very adorable outfit! ♡

I really did like Akari’s uniform-like outfit… but Seira’s outfit shows off more of her legs which I will never say no to!! (ΦωΦ)
Not to mention you can get a slight glimpse at her tummy! ☆

(・∀・) “Just like with Akari, you can display Seira in Tenebrae Mode!

We’re joined by the Nendoroid’s planner, Yassan!!

Let’s take a look at the Tenebrae mode! ★

She’s so awesome!! (*´Д`)♡

(・∀・) “Just like Akari Taiyo, she comes with a completely alternate head part to recreate this form! Her Crystal Bow is also included and she can be displayed firing it for a very epic pose, great for combat scenes!”

The crystals at the base of her twintails and on the back of her hands are also included I see! ε=(。・д・。)

(・∀・) “Yes! We also paid special attention to the coloring and sculptwork of her hair – particularly the gradient on her twin tails as you can see!”

Even the braided section in the middle has been shrunk down to Nendoroid-size!

(・∀・) “As you’d expect, her twintails are fitted with ball joints allowing you to match them to almost any pose!”

Posing them a little bit further apart definitely gives a much more dynamic feeling to the figure!

The eyes of the Tenebrae Mode also give off a very different atmosphere!
It’s amazing how much she changes!ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

(・∀・) “Enjoy both her standard and Tenebrae modes as much as they like!!”

Strong, brave, epic and composed! Plus the ability to pose her in either form! ♡

Nendoroid Seira Hoshikawa!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚ ゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚ ゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*・゚
 

Only 4 days left until WonFes! ☆

((((`・ω・´;))))

 
Now let’s move onto the next WonFes product review!

– WonFes Products – (*There are other goods too!)

(GSC) Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: School Uniform Ver.
(GSC)
Nendoroid Snow Miku: Magical Snow Ver.
(MAX) figma Armin Arlert
(MAX)
figma Snow Miku
(Phat!) Medicchu Tenryuu & Tatsuta Set
(GSC) Bath Time Collection: KanColle Docking Set

There are various other goods that will also be on sale at the event, which you can find out more about on the official page below here: WONDERFUL HOBBY LIFE FOR YOU!! 19

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Medicchu Tenryuu & Tatsuta Set!

From the popular game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a set of the light cruisers Tenryuu & Tatsuta, joining the new ‘Medicchu’ series! The Medicchu series features larger figures than the Minicchu series, allowing for more detail to be added to the ship and weapon parts of the characters! The KanColle Medicchu series is also set to continue, so look forward to more!

“If you’re headed to the WonFes ocean then don’t leave us out, okay?”

The two sisters want to be picked up from the WonFes ocean!! (*´▽`*)
They’re the first in Phat! Company’s newest figure series – the Medicchu series!

First up, the Tenryuu Class Light Cruiser! ♡

– Tenryuu –

The Medicchu series are about 65mm in height! Around the same size as a Nendoroid Petite – but they seem to have much more volume to them…! Particularly around the breast area!!

– Tatsuta –

The diameter of the stands are about 60mm and include the ‘KanColle’ logo on them! The details of the outfits, ship parts and weapons are also amazing… and yet still so cute!

So cute that I can’t get enough of them!! <●><●>

The antenna on Tenryuu’s head are fitted with ball joints for you to alter the direction of them! Her weapon is also articulated for slight changes too! ♪


Additionally, the heads of both of them can be swiveled from left to right to help you display them in your collection nicely! (σ・∀・)σ

It’s actually quite amazing how much changing the direction of the head can alter the overall feeling of the figure to me! You need to play around and find the angle that fits you best! ♡

Here the size is compared with one of the Medicchu IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls 02 that went on sale last month!

Ah!! Ranko-chan is so cute!! (*´▽`*)

Comparing the Medicchu to the 50mm Minicchu makes for a nice comparison I think! Plus on the note of Ranko-chan… don’t forget that figma Ranko Kanzaki is up for preorder now! (`・ω・´)

Orders close on the 26th February at 21:00JST, so don’t miss out! ★

☆ Product Info: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/4211/
☆ GSC Online Shop: http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/maxfigwd00215.html

Anyway, I’m told that more characters will be joining the Medicchu series soon, so keep an eye out! I’m sure some new info will arise during WonFes!!

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

As I’m sure most of you figured out from the photo above, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Magical Snow Ver.

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

2014 is Snow Miku’s 5th anniversary year, and once again designs were added to the piapro website and the most popular was voted for on a live NicoNico Broadcast! The winning design of the 2014 Snow Miku was by dera_fury, who created a playful Snow Miku filled with magical girl charm! The pet to be included was a separate competition, and the selected design was ‘Rabbit Yukine’ illustrated by nekosumi – the two of them have now been transformed into the 2014 Nendoroid Snow Miku for a Winter that fans are sure to remember!

Included with the Nendoroid is a special spell book stand, her magic wand, effect parts, a magic circle as well as sitting parts are also all included! She even comes with special arm parts to display her hugging Rabbit Yukine instead of just holding her! All the parts you’ll need for a truly magical experience with Snow Miku!!

Finally the full, adorable package! (*´▽`*)

This year’s Snow Miku’s theme is ‘Magical Girl’! She comes complete with a magical girl outfit, all sorts of magical goodies, a familiar and a special spell book stand! ヘ(゚∀゚*)ノ

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

So many goodies are included, making the packaging look so extravagant!

The base packaging is actually what you saw above…

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

It really is… big!! The Nendoroid is front is Petite Mikudayo!! By the way, this cardboard packaging is only included to keep the main packaging safe!

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

Ta-da!!

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

Of course I’ve already shown it on the live broadcast and earlier in the post… but the packaging is made to look like a spell book too!!

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

On the back are the standard images of the Nendoroid! Width-wise it’s about the length of Nendoroid Mikudayo’s outstretched arms!

Let’s take a look inside! ☆

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

Even the inside is like a book!!

The left flap includes a history of Snow Miku written up in English! It really is a fantastic package!!

Let’s get inside and start playing!! ♡

< Miku sitting on her spell book! >

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

The sitting parts can be used to place her sitting her on the edge of the book like so! The smaller book on top of the larger package also gives a nice size comparison which looks adorable!

I also love the view from the back! ♡

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

The ‘pages’ of the book have been recreated with thin lines along the side!

This goes for the packaging spell book, the stand spell book and even the tony spell book that is included for her to hold!! All three sizes have the same amazing detail! Σ(゚∀゚ノ)

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

< Ways to use the spell book stand! >

1) Hiding behind the slightly opened cover!

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

I love this expression part! It can be used for all sorts of poses! ★

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

2) Casting a spell inside the opened book!

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

This expression is so cute it hurts!! ><

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

Excellent work, Hamako!!

3) Popping out from inside the book!

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

I posed her in the image of a kitty in a box! The opened up book can also be used to store her optional parts away safely!

These are just some of the ideas I had… but of course the intended display method is the following! (OvO)

wonfes-2014-winter-nendoroid-snow-miku-2014-magical-snow-ver

The magical circle sheet easily connects with a special attachment allowing for this lovely pose of her popping out the book!

Along with all these options, she also comes with a selection of arm parts and her cape and hat are both removable! There are so many options that each and everyone can really create their very own version of Snow Miku! ♡

((((;゚Д゚))))

 
No way! There is no way that is true!
I need to go find something sweet to eat and calm down…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

With only one week left, I’m running out of time to review the WonFes products! This week will have to be dedicated to taking a closer look at them for everyone! Here is a quick summary of what will be available!

– WonFes Products – (*There are other goods too!)

(GSC)
Nendoroid Snow Miku: Magical Snow Ver.
(MAX) figma Armin Arlert

There are various other goods that will also be on sale at the event, which you can find out more about on the official page below here: WONDERFUL HOBBY LIFE FOR YOU!! 19 Product Information

Today I’m going to be starting off with…

Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: School Uniform Ver.! ♡

Nendoroid Mami Tomoe is being release in her school uniform! She comes with two expressions as well as various other optional parts including her school bag a tea set based on the one in her room as well as an alternate lower body part which allows you to display her sitting down.She also comes with parts to recreate the pose that starts her transformation scene in the anime, as well as her close friend ‘Bebe’ from the movie version.

Finally we have Mami-san in her uniform (*´▽`*)!!!

The Nendoroid official comes from the latest movie, which means that she also comes with Bebe! ♥

Bebe even comes with a stand which attaches to her head making it look like she is hovering! Her head is on a ball joint too, meaning you can pose her at all sorts of different angles!

Even the little pattern on her cape has been faithfully reproduced!
ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

How could anyone hate this adorable little face! <●><●>

This is how the blister pack looks! ♪

The bottom right corner is a little heard to make out from this photo, but it’s actually a triangular table! ♡ You can also see she comes with a number of alternate hand parts which should be a load of fun! ((o(´∀`)o))

So let’s hurry up and get started!! ♡

“Here you go! Help yourself! ♪”

I posed her as if she was offering cake out to visitors! If only I could really go have cake over at Mami-san’s house! (゚A゚;)

As you can see she comes with sitting parts! She’s wearing tights which are a lovely change from most Nendoroids!

“This tea is… isn’t lukewarm.”

Mami has called one of her tea loving friends over to join her – Nendoroid Shinku! Nendoroid tea parties are such a happy scene! (*´Д`)

“You must have some too, Bebe! ♡”

The cake and plate are not stuck together, so you can put the cake on the tea cup’s saucer as a cake plate instead!

“Would you like some seconds?”

The sitting parts do allow her to balance by herself, but you can always attach the stand as well for even more stability! (`・ω・´)

Posing her sitting down with her head upturned like this is definitely one of my favorite poses! The arms you can see in this pose are actually intended for this pose… (σ・∀・)σ

Mami-san holding out her soul gem! The soul gem itself is attached to her left hand, so it shouldn’t get lost too easily! ♥

You wouldn’t want Mami to be separated from her soul gem… would you? (((゜д゜;)))

It’s amazing how the gentle smiling expression changes into such a confident expression when she is placed in this pose! Madoka and Homura have already been released… now we have Mami as well… I wonder if that means we can expect anyone else…? Personally I’m hoping we can!

Display Mami-san together with Bebe and enjoy all sorts of poses!

Nendoroid Mami Tomoe: School Uniform Ver.!

There are two ways to get your hands on her!

1) Wonder Festival 2014 (Winter) at the Makuhari Messe on the 9th February 2014. She will be sold at the WONDERFUL HOBBY LIFE FOR YOU!! Booth!

Nendoroid Nadeko Sengoku

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

As a single child I’ve always been very jealous of everyone with siblings. I’ve always wished I could call someone, or be called ‘Onee-san’! But anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the cute and easily embarrassed…

Nendoroid Nadeko Sengoku!

From the popular anime series ‘Bakemonogatari’ comes a Nendoroid of the girl with a snake wrapped around her – Nadeko Sengoku! She comes with three expressions including her standard expression, an unsure embarrassed expression and a bright smiling expression!

Her trademark large hat as well as the coat she wears on her shoulders are both included and can be attached and removed whenever you like, allowing you to recreate all sorts of different scenes from the series! She also comes with other optional parts including a swimsuit and sitting parts! Be sure to display her with the other characters from the series to fully bring out the Bakemonogatari universe!

Ooohh!!! (*´▽`*)

I previously showed a little peek at her when she was unpainted…
But now the fully painted version is sitting right on my desk!!

Welcome to my desk, Nadeko-chan!!

Her lovely big hat as well as the orange jacket she wears over her shoulders look just as adorable as they did in the series and Nadeko OP them!

Even the smaller details such as the side of the jacket and the ribbon on the hat are faithfully included on the Nendoroid!

Even the pockets look just like they did in the series! It’s quite uncommon to have a female Nendoroid wearing pants like this… I like it! (。・ω・)ノ゙

The odd contrast between her sky personality and her casual outfit is one of things that make her so cute! But… the hat and jacket can also be removed!

Without the jacket you get a much better look at her cute clothes covered in pink ribbons! Personally I also love her concerned eyebrows that you can only see after removing her hat!

How can a troubled expression be so unbelievably cute!! *nomnom*

(· ∀· ) “She comes with other lovely expressions too!”

Today we’re joined by Otanaka-shi from the GSC Planning team! ☆

(· ∀· ) “First up let’s take a look at this huge smile!”

Awww!!! ━(゚∀゚)━♡

It’s no wonder everyone loves Nadeko with a smile like this!
Now I’ll be able keep it by your side to enjoy whenever you like! She really is just a lump of adorableness!

(· ∀· ) “My personal favorite is this one… her embarrassed expression!”

Ahh!! It’s too much to handle!! _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):_

(· ∀· ) “We even managed to pose her as if fidgeting with her fingers nervously! Not to mention you can also recreate this pose!”

I-Is she holding what I think she’s holding?!

(· ∀· ) “Yep! The scene where she returns the school swimsuit!”

I have to admit, I never thought I’d be able to see this scene in Nendoroid size… as expected of the great Otanaka-sensei!! (*´Д`)=з

(· ∀· ) “She also comes with a chisel to pose her in the scene where she is carving out the snake!”

(· ∀· ) “Fans can pick from a number of scenes to display her in!”

Otanaka-shi didn’t even mention it… but in the above photos you can also see she comes with sitting parts! <●><●>

Sitting parts are so nice to mix and match between Nendoroids, so I love seeing them! Another rather unique part are these hand parts which let you pose her with her hands joined behind her back! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

I can’t wait to get hold of my own so I can love her even more! ♡

Nendoroid Nadeko Sengoku!

She’ll be up for preorder from next week Tuesday, the 4th February!
