Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

September! No wonder it’s already cooling down! We’re already in September!! Almost time for the culture festivals in schools around Japan to start! ♪

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

Nendoroid Petite: Love Live!:
Sore wa Bokutachi no Kiseki Ver.

Oooooooh!! （*´▽｀*）

Cute Nendoroid Petite figures of all nine members of μ’s in their white, black and red stage outfits! ♥

I can just picture the opening theme playing through my head now…

Each of their outfits are ever so slightly different – all following the original character designs down to a tee!

The details are enough to make one forget just how small these Nendoroid Petites are! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

(・∀・) “…as usual, we went a bit overboard with the details!”

We’re joined by Hamako from the planning team!

(・∀・) “It’s actually rather hard to keep detail on Nendoroid Petites, but each of their outfits has ever so slight differences and accessories that bring out their respective characters – we did our best to keep them in tact!”

The varying accessories on their chests as well as their hats and ribbons are all carefully sculpted!

The earrings swaying slightly with the poses are also lovely! (*´∀｀*)

Each of the characters also has a rather dynamic look to them, as if they really are in the middle of dancing! ♥︎

Even the hair has been sculpted to match the poses – swaying in the direction of movement! Also… these poses… they’re rather familiar…

(・∀・) “They’re all taken directly from the opening to the second season!”

I knew it!!

That also explains why they look like they’re dancing – the poses really were taken right in the middle of a dance! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

(・∀・)”It’s actually quite fun to watch the opening theme and try to pause the video at each of the poses to compare the figure with the original scene!”

Maki-chan’s pose is right from the start! I recognise it!! (*´Д`)
Hanayo-chan’s is also very memorable from the opening! I recognised it as soon as I saw her!

(・∀・) “Some of the characters are based on poses where the camera wasn’t really focusing on them, so it can be a little harder sometimes!”

… I shall find them all! (｀・ω・´)

Although…. the opening theme is filled with all sorts of dance moves and possible poses. It must have been quite difficult for you to decide on the poses!

(・∀・) “It took ages! We really struggled to come to a decision on some of the characters – but after checking with all the Love Live! fans in the office I think we got a nice varying set of poses! Poses that really bring out the personalties of the characters too!”

(・∀・) “Another thing that we took into consideration was displaying them together! Although one by one they are each really cute – the μ’s members obviously look best when they’re together, so we made sure they looked great when displayed next to each other!”

You really did have to keep all sorts of things in mind while working on the poses! ♫

(・∀・) “This is the first time that all the members can be collected in a single set of figures, so I wanted it to feel special!”

Right! Let’s display them each by school grade!

– First Years –

– Second Years –

– Third Years –

They’re all so adorable!!

They look great separated by grade like this, but there are all sorts of other combinations that I want to try too!

I guess I should just display them all together!! ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

(・∀・) “We’re helping out fans who want to do that by including three special bonuses for fans to enjoy – bonuses that help display them as a set even more!”

#1: Box Purchases: Special Stage Background!

(・∀・) “Samurai from the GSC Design Team made a special background stage based on the opening theme to use as a display base for the Nendoroid Petites!”

I can feel the Love Live! spirit of the Samurai!! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

This is how it looks when you display them on it!

(・∀・) “Even the floor and curtains have been made to look just like the gymnasium from the OP!”

This background will be found as the inner-cardboard of the large box when you purchase a box of figures! (σ・∀・)σ

#2: Good Smile Online Bonus: Special Nendoroid Petite Bases (Heart)

(・∀・) “Nendoroid Petite bases each made featuring the image colors of the characters! Plus each with a cute idol-like heart!”

Unique Nendoroid Petite stands must be a rather rare item! Not to mention they come with hearts as well!! (´□｀｡)

(・∀・) “These will be included with preorders of a box of ten figures from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP”

Which means that you get both the above box stage background bonus as well as the heart stands!

#3: Karuzawa Online Bonus: Special Nendoroid Petite Bases (Stars)

(・∀・) “Similar to the heart bases but with stars instead, shining as brightly as the μ’s member’s smiles!”

Obviously you’re welcome to buy the Nendoroids one-by-one in stores, but if you’re a collector be sure to grab them in a box to get these lovely bonuses as well! (｀・ω・´)

(・∀・) “That’s all the bonuses this time around! Check the GSC Site tomorrow for more info!”

All nine characters dressed up in the 2nd opening outfits:

Nendoroid Petite: Love Live!:
Sore wa Bokutachi no Kiseki Ver.

They’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♥

… by the way…

There is a secret character in this set, isn’t there?! Who is it?!

(・∀・) “Fufufu… for all those who read this far, I present you with a sneak peek!”

How many of you have figured it out?!

Perhaps you’ll see more tomorrow on the GSC website!
Be sure to check the GSC Site at around 12:00JST!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Last weekend was way too hot… the heat causes me to stay inside all day and never go out anywhere! It’s only June! Why is it so hot already?!

Anyway, today I’m going to continue my review of…

Nendoroid Petite: Girls und Panzer! ♡

Oooooooohhh!! （*´▽｀*）

Today I’ll be looking at the girls from schools other than Oorai High!

From Kuromorimine High we have Maho Nishizumi, from St. Gloriana Girls Academy we have Darjeeling , from Saunders University High is Kay and from Pravda High we have both Katyusha and Nonna – all sculpted wearing their Panzer jackets!

Personally I’m very happy to see Darjeeling’s hair from the back has been faithfully preserved in figure form! ♪

The different school and personalities of each character are shown by their outfits, poses and expressions! This set of Nendoroid Petites features 11 characters, one of which is a secret character!

Last week I had a look at the Ankou team members. You can find that review here: http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2014/05/30/nendoroid-petite-girls-und-panzer-part-1/ (o・ω・o)

Anyway, let’s hurry up and get onto today’s characters! (｀・ω・´)

– Maho Nishizumi –

The cool and composed commander!

Even here her blank expression has a powerful air of confidence! This is her first debut, but I know fans will love her!!

It also means you can pose the sisters together!

I can already hear their voices playing through my head…! ( -ﾉｪ-)

– Darjeeling –

“No matter how bumpy the ride is, our school’s tanks will never spill a drop of tea!”

This set would never have been complete without Da-sama!

She comes holding onto her tea cup and saucer and there is even tea inside the cup! ♪

Even in Nendoroid Petite size, her elegance is undeniable! (*´Д`)

– Kay –

– Katyusha –

The Little Tyrant!

Katyusha is only 127cm tall, so the Nendoroid Petite has also been made slightly shorter than normal!

But as long as we have Katyusha, we also have to have someone with her!

The final non-secret character is…!

I’m sure everyone already knows!

– Nonna –

Pravda’s second-in-command!

She normally has this rather expressionless face, but I always love the gentle look when she speaks with Katyusha! ♥

Her expression here is a side long glance, matching her personality nicely! I wish I could support Katyusha like her…!

That brings the collection to and end! (*´Д｀)=з

Nendoroid Petite: Girls und Panzer!

They will be up for preorder from tomorrow, the 3rd June! (｀・ω・´)

(・∀・) “I also have more good news for everyone!”

We’re suddenly joined by the product’s planner, Shuuchan-senpai!

(・∀・) “There is currently a Tank #IV D-type in production that will match in size with the Nendoroid Petites!

W-What!? Really?!

(・∀・) “Yep… take a peek for yourself!”

Ooooh!! The character on top is a Nendoroid petite?

… I guess that means only one character can ride at a time? (´・ω・｀)

(・∀・) “Fufufu… the design is currently being worked on, and in the end will allow all members of the Ankou Team on at once! “

Yay!! ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

(・∀・) “I’ll let you know when we have more info ready!”

I look forward to it!

This will allow everyone to display the Ankou Team in their element! ♥

As soon as Shuuchan-senpai updates me, I’ll pass on the info!!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Enjoying some more ‘girly’ activities like sewing has always been something I’ve wanted to do, but never really been able to get into… perhaps I’ll try my hand at tank driving next!

With that said, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Petite: Girls und Panzer!

Ooooooohhh!! （*´▽｀*）

The five members of the Ankou Team, all shrunk into Nendoroid Petite size! ♪

The Ankou Team mark is still nice and clear on their backs!

– Miho Nishizumi –

Miho even comes with her headphones – she wouldn’t be able to command her team without them! Just look at her lovely smile as well!! I’d be happy to follow her command! (*´Д｀)=з

– Yukari Akiyama –

Panzer Vor!!!

Akiyama-dono is in her classic saluting pose! The full-size Nendoroid version is also due to be released in August!

– Saori Takebe –

– Hana Isuzu –

Hana-san in a rather prim and proper pose! ♡

The innocent smile of someone who does both flower arrangement and tank driving!

– Mako Reizei –

A rather listless expression for Mako! ε=(｡・д・｡)

The tank driving prodigy is standing right here with me on my desk!

That brings the Ankou team to an end!

However!

The ‘Nendoroid Petite Girls and Panzer’ set isn’t at an end yet!

As you may have read in the product description there are others also included in this set! A total of eleven characters in the end including one secret character!

I’ll be taking a look at the other five non-secret characters next week! (｀・ω・´)

You’ll have to wait and see! ♪

Finally a quick notice!

Yesterday, figma Saber 2.0 went up for preorder!

What a valiant looking figma!! (*´Д`)

The armor looks so much sharp and real! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Not to mention all the reworked joints allowing for amazing action poses!

Doesn’t she look amazing?!

She also comes with this adorable embarrassed face! ♡

Delicious!! （*´▽｀*）

The new anime will be starting this Fall, around the same time Saber 2.0 is scheduled to release! Don’t miss out!

Orders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a special bonus!

All GSC Online orders will include these special sword swinging effect parts! You can find out more on the product page here: figma Saber 2.0

Plus there is another campaign coming up fast!

This campaign is for the upcoming 1/8th scale…

Ciel Alencon! ♥

She’s beautiful…! (*´Д`)

I’ll be taking a closer look at her on the blog next week!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Last year, the backpacks with a dragon head sticking out to make you look like a dragon trainer became quite popular. I thought they were such an amazing idea, but I’ve yet to meet anyone who actually uses one… I hope one day I’ll get the chance!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at this set of Nendoroid Petites, which were announced yesterday!

Nendoroid Petite: Rage of Bahamut

Ooooh!!! （*´▽｀*）

Six different characters as well as a secret character all from the game filled with beautifully illustrated cards – Rage of Bahamut! ♥

Each of their outfits have such an amazing ‘fantasy’ atmosphere to them! I could look at the cute little designs for ages! Their necks and legs are also articulated, allowing for some different angles as well! (｀・ω・´)

Let’s go through and take a look at each of the characters!

– Fighter –

Sword, cloak and shield! The staple adventurer!!
His expression has a cute, but confident look to it! （*´▽｀*）♡

Both his hair and cloak are sculpted with a slightly dynamic feel to them, as if hit by a little gust of wind!

– Cerberus –

Even in Nendoroid Petite size she is overflowing with sexiness! The mischievous expression is also adorable! ♫

Her outfit and accessories are all faithfully shrunk down, and the gradient of her hair has even been faithfully preserved!

While we’re talking about Cerberus… also remember that Max Factory’s 1/7th Scale Cerberus is scheduled to go on sale from next month! ♪

Fans can enjoy her while they wait for the Nendoroid Petite to display with her!

– Vania –

Yay, Vania-chan is also here!! Her frilly skirt and high-laced boots are my personal highlights! ♡

She looks great from the back as well – her long hair flowing down behind her giving the whole figure a more dynamic appearance!

– Orchis –

(・∀・) “She’s my personal favorite!”

Today we’re joined by the sets planner, Otanaka-shi!

(・∀・) “As an avid player of Rage of Bahamut, I was so happy to be involved with this project!”

Orchis’ characteristic hairstyle has really come out looking great!

(・∀・) “The hair really brings out her design! When working on small figures like Nendoroid Petites a lot of thought always needs to be put into how much detail can actually be put in… but the illustrations for Rage of Bahamut are all so enthralling that we really tried out best to keep every bit of detail possible!”

Even her doll is sculpted with such intricacy…!
It just goes to show your love for the game I suppose!

– Feena –

I think the goblin hunter went hunting for my heart instead! She’s so cute!!

(・∀・) “Feena’s outfit and weapon have also been kept faithful to the illustration! She also appears in the event that started in the game yesterday… be sure to take a look!”

Even in this size I can feel her energetic personality coming through from her pose and smile! Her outfit and hat are also billowing around her! (*´∀｀*)

– Teena –

A cute green skirt and a tightly tied waist! I adore this outfit! (ﾉ｀・∀・)ﾉ

(・∀・) “Even though her outfit shows virtually no skin at all, her pose and expression captures the cute, lovable side of her nicely!”

Her fluffy looking hair also looks just like it did on the card! Not to mention I love girls with capes (*´Д`)

– ??? –

This is the secret character! You can see a silhouette of her on the GSC page… and a mosaic here! ( -ﾉｪ-)

(・∀・) “I’m sure many fans have already figured it out… whether you have or not, it’s definitely one to look forward to!”

Speaking of looking forward to things… I believe the Nendoroid Petites also comes with a serial code to use in game! ((o(´∀｀)o))

(・∀・) “That’s right! The support from the creators has been amazing, and they have allowed us to include a special code that lets players open a ‘Nendoroid Petite Gacha’ in game!”

Here are the in-game items you can win using this serial code: ♪

A special illustration specially for the Nendoroid Petite set! Amazing!! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

(・∀・) “Plus, we also have an additional bonus for orders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP!”

Oooh! What is it?!

(・∀・) “Take a look!”

GSC Online Bonus:

– A4 Illustrated Tapestry –

Oooh! The same illustration from the card will be made into a mini tapestry!!

(・∀・) “I really have to thank the game’s publisher! They gave us so much to work with!”

The palm-sized Rage of Bahamut characters are waiting for you to pick them up!

Nendoroid Petite: Rage of Bahamut

They’re currently up for preorder!

You can order them from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP to get your hands on the A4 tapestry as well! Orders are open until the 28th May at 21:00!
