Nendoroid Petite: Macross Heroines & Nendoroid More After Parts!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

As much as I’d love to go on a journey to outer space… my stomach has trouble with aeroplanes and roller coasters, so I think it’s fairly likely that my body wouldn’t like going into space either…

But today we’ll be taking a look at some girls who have all journeyed all around the universe and are ready to ship out from GSC on the 16th December…

Nendoroid Petite: Macross Heroines!

The larger box features lovely big shots of Ranka and Sheryl, and the smaller box features Lynn Minmay! Of course all the others are all included on the packaging too… just not as big! ♡

The set includes (from the left): Sara Nome, Mylene Jenius, Ranka Lee, Sheryl Nome, Lynn Minmay and Sharon Apple

These six as well as one secret character are all in the set, making for a total of seven heroines to collect! ♪

Here is a little hint for the secret character…! ( -ノェ-)

I’m sure most fans can easily determine who this is just from the silhouette!

But today I’ll also be taking a look at another two products that were released today: Nendoroid More: After Parts 01 & Nendoroid More: After Parts 02.

These parts are officially designed for full-size Nendoroids, but depending on how you use them you can also use them with Nendoroid Petites! (`・ω・´)

Here is an overall look at which parts are included in which set:

– Nendoroid More: After Parts 01 –

– Nendoroid More: After Parts 02 –


*Other parts that allow the ears and tail to be connected are also included.

Here I have the sun parts from After Parts 01 displayed with Sara Nome!

One simple sun and you can help to recreate the atmosphere of Mayan Island! Some of the parts can definitely be used with Nendoroid Petites too! ♥

By the way, I’m making use of a standard square Nendoroid base to display the Nendoroid Petites together with the After Parts!

I’m sure many of you are already aware, but for those who don’t know…

The Nendoroid stand features two differently sized holes. The smaller ones are for the standard Nendoroid stand… but the bigger ones are actually for Nendoroid Petites!

*Different stands do sometimes have varying sizes. Not all include the right sizes.
* A longer rectangular stand is included with the After Parts sets, but this stand is not compatible with Nendoroid Petites.

After Parts Set #01 also includes starts and the moon!

They match nicely with Sharon Apple’s mysterious character! ε=(。・д・。)

And speaking of matching, the musical note parts in After Parts 01 suit Mylene Jenius beautifully!

The Nendoroid More After Parts 01 Set also comes with both long and short props to display the parts on, so just pick the one that suits your character best!

Moving on, let’s take a look at Lynn Minmay… with angel wings! ♡

I always knew she was an angel!! (*´▽`*)

The parts in the photo are actually placed like this:

It does mean that angle you can see the angelic Lynn from is only from the front, but it’s completely worth it in my eyes! She’s so cute!!

If you display two Nendoroid Petites on one large square Nendoroid stand, you can display them much closer and able to interact with each other! Just like Sheryl and Ranka here! ♪


This photo makes use of the butterflies from After Parts 02!

They really are great fun to display with the Nendoroid After Parts 01 & 02:
Nendoroid Petite: Macross Heroines!


They’ll be shipping out from the 16th December! ☆

Finally… a shot of Sharon with some mysterious nighttime scenery behind her!

The area around the Skytree is all lit up for Christmas at the moment!

Nendoroid Petite: Nanoha Takamachi Sacred Jacket & Vita!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Kahotan Facts! In primary school I was an avid collector of Pokemon cards! However I never actually played the card game with my cards… not even once! It was simply a collection for me!

But anyway, today I’m going to be introducing a product that will be in wholesale stores from the 25th November….

Nendoroid Petite:
Nanoha Takamachi Sacred Jacket & Vita!


From the social game ‘Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT’ comes cute Nendoroid petite figures of Nanoha Takamachi in her barrier jacket and Vita Yagami! Nanoha-san looks so confident and ready for anything! ♥


This is how she looks from the back! ♪


The skirt is billowing in a nice circular shape, and t he tiny little wings on light on her feet are so intricate for their size! ヘ(゚∀゚*)ノ

Vita also has a rather serious expression on her face!


Her trademark hat, skirt and ribbon…
Even the fluffy hems of her skirt have such amazing detail!


Her hat can also be removed!


Their intelligent devices, ‘Raising Heart’ and ‘Graf Eisen’ can also be held and removed whenever you like! (・∀・)


Simply insert the handle section into their open hands! ★


*Brave Duel: Raise Up!*

Let’s take a closer look at the packaging! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ


There are some very important parts here!! <●><●>

The set comes with exchangeable expressions for both characters!


Having alternate expressions makes them seem more like Nendoroids than petites! It’s definitely quite rare to see alternate expressions included with Petites… even in sets! (*´▽`*)

One example I can think of is the Nendoroid Petite: Racing Miku 2011 Ver. Set, but only Miku came with an alternate expression!

*Racing Miku with a serious expression, ready to race!*


*Racing Miku with tears of joy, having won the race!*


Anyway, my point is that Nendoroid Petite exchangeable expressions are not a very common thing to see… this makes The Nanoha and Vita set quite a rare set!

They’re also fairly well articulated even as petites – their arms and neck can be moved into various poses! ★


Just a few slight changes can make for a very different feeling! ♡


Their hair is also articulated for more dynamic poses!


It’s always nice to be able to match the hair up with the pose you’re trying to create! (*´Д`)=з

Plus an extra bonus is also included with this set! ヽ(・ω・´(`・ω・´)ノ`・ω・)ノ


I’ve censored it in this photo, but inside the box you’ll find a serial code for use in the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT social game! ♥

Nendoroid Petite: IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Stage 02

W-What do we have here…!? (゚A゚;)


Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I was wandering around the offices when I came across a box filled with rather adorable looking idols!!

For some reason I thought it would look better to have one box up vertically for this photo! Today I’m going to be taking a look at a product that reached our wholesalers yesterday and should be on sale shortly…

Nendoroid Petite:
IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Stage 02


These girls are detailed and packed with volume that it’s hard to see them as Nendoroid Petites! ♪

They’re also filled with so much cute!! ♡

This is how the look from the back!


The two ‘special’ outfits along with Ranko’s umbrella have an amazing presence!! Let’s take a closer look at them one-by-one! (`・ω・´)

Ranko Kanzaki!
“Kukuku… my spirit is raging!”

Her black, Gothic-style outfit is filled with lovely frills and the black umbrella pulls it all together perfectly! ♡ Her lines may seem a little over the top, but behind them is an honest heart that anyone is sure to love!

Uzuki Shimamura
“Let’s get out there and have some fun!”

She has recently been transformed into a ‘New Generation Ver.’ scale figure, but the Nendoroid Petite is wearing a uniform and gives her a much more mature feeling! The blazer really suits her nicely! (*´Д`)

Mika Jougasaki
“Hehehe, whaddya think of me today?”

Just as cute as always!! Although I’m certain I’d never have the confidence to approach someone like her in real life, I feel perfectly safe with a hand-sized Nendoroid Petite version of her! (´∀`*)

Miku Maekawa
“Just look how cute my moe fang is~! ☆”

(゜ω゜)(。_。)(゜ω゜)(。_。) (*Nodding in agreement)

Not only the moefang… but the combination of that with the kitty pose is almost too much at once!! Not to mention that the special outfit version of her also includes cat ears and a tail!! Moe overload!! (;・∀・)


It’s a little hard to see in the photo, but if you look up close you can see even her garter belt has been carefully sculpted! ♡ The mike stand is also unbelievably intricate!

Kirari Moroboshi
“Kirarin! ☆”

ξ*’ω’)ξ< Nyowah!

A colorful outfit as well as an adorable mouth! Today’s final idol is Kirarin!! ♪
Her height doesn’t matter too much as a Nendo Petite!

She also comes with an alternate costume version… it’s filled with tasty sweets and looks like something out of a fairytale! ★

She’s… so… cute!!! ヽ(o´・∀・)人(・∀・`o)ノ

Pudding, candy, ice-cream, donuts… who could possibly resist! She looks delicious is more ways than one… <●><●>

I decided I had to display her together with this famous Kirari figure… Dekacchu Kirari Moroboshi!♡


She’s… so… huge!!

It’s a little strange to see the same character at such varying sizes, but no matter what the size she is always adorable! Plus she’s still growing!!

That brings us to an end of Stage 2! A total of seven figures to collect consisting of five characters and two special costumes! (;´∀`)
Which Cinderella Girl is your favorite? Mine is definitely Ranko-chan! I love her over-the-top lines!!

Adorable idols in the palm of your hand! ♡

Nendoroid Petite:
IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Stage 02


They should be on sale in stores from today!

Notice Time!

Murakami’s Japan Tour has almost come to an end! I’m sure many of you have managed to get your hands on the Nendoroid Petite Mikudayo!

The very first event where Mikudayo was on sale was none other than the Hatsune Miku: Magical Mirai 2013 event… which is now officially getting a Blu-ray and DVD release!! ♡

==============================

Release Date: 2014/02/19 (Fri)
Blu-ray Limited Edition: ¥8,800 (Excl. Tax)
DVD Limited Edition: ¥7,800 (Excl. Tax)

==============================

I went to see the event live and it was an amazing experience!

MEIKO-neesan was fantastic and I really regretted not bringing any red glowsticks for her! I also personally really loved the ‘Last Night,Good Night (Re:Dialed)’ performance by Miku!! (*´▽`*)

Next time I’ll be sure to have glowsticks of all colors… ( – ェ-)φ
You can reserve your copy of the Blu-ray or DVD in stores now!

Nendoroid Petite: THE IDOLM@STER 2 Million Dreams Ver. – Stage 02

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I bring you one of three different blogs all featuring IDOLM@STER!!
You can find the other two here, but unfortunately in Japanese only!

· figma Blog: http://ameblo.jp/figma/
· Phat! Company Staff Blog: http://ameblo.jp/phatcompany/

I’ll be taking a close look at a set of adorable idols…
Nendoroid Petite: THE IDOLM@STER 2
Million Dreams Ver. – Stage 02 ♡


(*The stage is my own personal item and isn’t included!)

The popular Nendoroid Petites from ‘THE IDOLM@STER 2’ are back again, this time featuring the idols in their ‘Million Dreams’ outfits! This second set includes another seven idols to add to your collection, including Miki Hoshii, Iori Minase, Yukiho Hagiwara, Azusa Miura, Ami Futami, Hibiki Ganaha and Kotori Otonashi. The alternate colored outfits will help you produce your cutest concert ever!

The second set has arrived! (`・ω・´)

In the original stage two the secret character was Kotori-chan, and she is of course included in the Million Dreams set too! ♥

This is how they look from the back! ♪

Let’s take a closer look at them one-by-one! ヘ(゚∀゚*)ノ

– Kotori Otonashi –

The beautiful office worker of 765 Pro! Definitely an idol at heart though!

The gap of skin between her stockings and skirt is beautiful and the tight skirt itself suits her very nicely! ♪

– Hibiki Ganaha –

The cheerful girl from the South who believes everything’ll all work out even in the toughest of times!


The super energetic animal loving idol! Her ponytail is fitted with a ball joint for some extra posing options! The two strands of hair sticking out from her head are also faithfully included! ♪

– Yukiho Hagiwara –

Often seen cowering away the corner, but definitely still stands out as a true idol!

The kind of idol that everyone falls in love with as they want to protect her! ♡ Her cowardly, crybaby personality is what makes her special! She’s also doesn’t do well with dogs… just like me! ^^;

– Futami Ami –

One step ahead in the battle between twins!
The Futami twin who’s almost too cute!


Following on from Mami-chan in stage one comes Ami-chan in stage two!♥ Her outfit is the same as Mami’s, except for the necklace which features a star on Ami! I love displaying twins together with each other!

– Miki Hoshii –

The cute little devil who let’s her amazing talent go to waste!

Even as a Nendoroid Petite she has a rather sexy look! Her stomach area shows off so much skin! (*ノェノ)

– Azusa Miura –

The idol with a smile and body that can calm anyone down!

Any girl that looks good with shortcut hair always looks beautiful in my books! The gentle and calm Azusa-san has many fans here in the GSC offices! I want her to keep me company 24/7! (`・ω・´)

– Iori Minase –

Making her angry can become a habit… the cute but selfish princess!

The cute little devil with a haughty and selfish side! I love both sides of her personality though! ♥ She’s also a character with a rather large forehead… quite rare in the figure world!

Let’s display them together with the girls from Stage 01! (*・ω・)人(・ω・*)

All together they take up quite an impressive amount of space…! Just with these two sets I feel my desk has become a brighter place… not to mention a more relaxing workspace! (*´Д`)

But today I’m going to focus a little more on two of these characters…!

Chihaya Kisaragi and Iori Minase!

Both will have new figures announced tomorrow!

These are by Max Factory and Phat! Company respectively! ♥

 
First up we have figma Chihaya Kisaragi ☆

This expression has already been revealed… I look forward to seeing what other expressions she comes with! She’s so cute!!

I hope this means we can expect the other characters as figmas too!

Plus the… 1/8th Scale Iori Minase! ☆

The second figure to be based off the BD/DVD illustrations from the IDOLM@STER anime! This product photo is amazing… it really makes you think you can see them but you really can’t! 😛 The lovely floating pose also looks great… I want to take a look at her from all sorts of angles! |д゚)

That means there are three IDOLM@STER products being going up for preorder tomorrow! ♪ All the producers out there are in for a treat!

Nendoroid Petite: THE IDOLM@STER 2 Million Dreams Ver. – Stage 01

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

When I think of idols the first things that come to my mind are Morning Musume and Aya Matsuura! I also remember buying idol photos from the Hello! Project shop and going to concerts all the time… I was really a huge fan at one stage!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at a bunch of idols that producers around the world have come to love…

Nendoroid Petite:
THE IDOLM@STER 2 Million Dreams Ver. – Stage 01 ♪

The popular Nendoroid Petites from ‘THE IDOLM@STER 2’ are back again, this time featuring the idols in their ‘Million Dreams’ outfits! The set includes seven idols including Haruka Amami, Chihaya Kisaragi, Makoto Kikuchi, Yayoi Takatsuki, Mami Futami, Takane Shijou and Ritsuko Akizuki. The alternate colored outfits will help you produce your cutest concert ever!

The product name is too long to fit nearly on a single line! ><

The idols are all together once again, this time wearing the bright ‘Million Dreams’ outfits – the last outfits released in IDOLM@STER2!!

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

1) Ritsuko Akizuki
– Always on the ball and working hard! The silent governor of the office! –

Ricchan was a secret character in the original set, but there was no point hiding it this time around! She is also included with the new outfits! Her glasses look super cute, but they can also be removed if you prefer!

2) Haruka Amami
– She loves singing, sweets and friends! The ever-happy Haruka! –

“Producer-san! Our Million Dreams outfits are being released! Million Dreams!!”

I remember grinning every time I heard her voice play during commercials!
It’s so lovely! ε=(。・д・。)

3) Makoto Kikuchi
– Always filled with energy! A girl as clear as the blue skies! –

I think the silver in these outfits brings out Makoto’s cool side more than before! Both her tough appearance and soft personality are captured in the figure!
ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

4) Chihaya Kisaragi
– The quiet loner who dedicates everything to song –

Most likely the most popular of the idols among producers in the our offices! Whenever I see the number 72 I think of Chihaya now… ((o(´∀`)o)


Moving on to the final three!

5) Takane Shijou
– The well-mannered, elegant princess? Nobody knows for sure! –

Even as a tiny Nendoroid Petite, Takane-sama always looks incredibly classy and ready to impress everyone! I’ve been told that Chihaya fans and Takane fans get along well, can anyone confirm that? 😛

6) Yayoi Takatsuki
– The bright and cheerful idol for the people! –

ζ*’ヮ’)ζ

Listening to Yayoi’s songs always gets me excited and cheerful, so I almost always listen to them before WonFes…!

7) Mami Futami
– A solo debut! The hard working, more relaxing of the Futami twins! –

I think this figure shows that Mami-chan does have a bit of a mature side too! The pink wrist bands suit her so nicely! ♥
I have to admit that I personally prefer Mami to Ami…! (ΦωΦ)

That brings us to the end of these seven idols!
…and just look at Ricchan’s sexy back! ( -ノェ-)

“Huh? Where’s Ami? Yukipo? Azusa-san?!”

I can hear the producers all the way from here…!

Today I took a look at the Million Dreams Ver. – Stage 01 set! (ΦωΦ)
Stage 02 will be coming at a later stage, so worry not! ♡

As things are going it will most likely be next month.
I’ll take a closer look at them at that point!

Only 4 days left until WonFes!!


There is no way I’ll finish all the reviews in time!!

There is only three days left to post things up on the blog before WonFes!! Plus there are still other things I want to show on the blog before the event, so I’ll have to speed things up today by going through a couple of products all at once!

– WonFes Product Catalogue –

(GSC) Kurisu Makise: White Coat Ver.
(GSC) Nendoroid Nyaruko: Maid Ver.
(GSC) Nendoroid Petite: IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Ranko, Uzuki and Mika + Live Stage Set

(GSC) IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Goods Set x3 + Mahiro Kitagawa Metal Charm

I’ll be starting off with some cute Nendoroid Petite idols!! (=゚ω゚)ノ

The WonHobby 18 Product:
Nendoroid Petite: IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls –
Ranko, Uzuki and Mika + Live Stage Set

From the popular social game ‘IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls’ comes a set of Nendoroid petites including Ranko Kanzaki, Uzuki Shimamura and Mika Jougasaki each in their S-Rare+ outfits! They are all dressed up and ready to perform in their stage outfits – a LIVE Battle at this Summer’s Wonder Festival!

The second live stage set following on from previous WonFes! (゚∀゚)ノ

Not only do you get these cute, cool and passion-type Nendoroid Petite idols, but you also get a lovely stage to display them on!

You can of course also display the Nendo Petite IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls 01
and 02 or other Nendo Petites on the stage as well!! Create a LIVE battle between whichever characters you want!

The cool type, Ranko Kanzaki!

The character who was voted #1 in the 2nd Cinderella Girl’s election! She is wearing the so called ‘Kuroranko’ outfit and is holding an incredibly detailed magical(?) book in her hand!

Her famous line ‘Drown in the darkness!’ comes to mind when I see this!

The cute type, Uzuki Shimamura!

Shimamura-san was always said to be too ordinary and never really stood out, but in the new generation she was given this new outfit which really made her shine!

Her cute little belly button, huge smile and double peace signs are all so adorable!! The detail on her curly hair is also well worth mentioning!

The passion-type, Mika Jougasaki!

That outfit is way too sexy!! When I first became a passion producer I really wanted this outfit in the game but it’s so hard to get hold of!! Of course I’ve got it now, but now I need to get hold of this figure version!!

I’m sure anyone here who has played Cinderella Girls knows just how special the SR and SR+ outfits are! To be able to keep them by your side is such a treat!!

This is how the look from the top!

You can see there are a number of holes to display lots of your favorite Nendoroid Petites on! Each of the characters also comes with the standard transparent stand as well, allowing you to display them as normal as well! (When they’re on display on the stage their little feet touch down onto the floor so nicely though – I’d definitely make use of it!)

The photo is from the first stage, but there is an example filled with characters in the blog post below! ヽ(゜∀゜)ノ

From the popular social game ‘IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls’ comes a newly sculpted ‘Lovely Princess’ version of the popular Dekacchu Kirari Moroboshi sold during the 2013 Winter WonFes! Her outfit and accessories have all been faithfully sculpted and she’s even bigger than before! It’s a rather unique looking version of Kirari that fans are sure to enjoy!

This also follows on from last year’s WonFes – Dekacchu Kirari #2!

This time she is wearing the ‘Lovely Princess’ outfit from her S-Rare card! Just like the S-Rare+ of Mika that I mentioned earlier, this is not an easy outfit to get hold of in the game! But just look how happy she looks! ヽ(゚∀゚)ノ

Compared with the Kirari from last year!

She’s actually bigger then before… but the sitting pose makes her slightly less tall overall! She is about 10% bigger than last year’s Kirari! (((゚Д゚)))

Character Cards: Rin Shibuya / Minami Nitta / Fumika Sasigawa / Kaede Takagaki / Noa Takamine / Anastasia

The character cards include three of the top idols in the recent Cinderella Girls election! (Rin, Kaede and Anastasia). The cards are high quality and very firm, making sure they don’t bend out of shape easily! It’s so nice to see the characters somewhere other than on by cellphone screen! Be sure to collect them all!

This features goods based on passion-type idols! Here’s what’s inside:

Plushie: Mika Jougasaki

Ahh!! Syoko Hoshi is included in the cards! Totokin too!! The sets are all super cute, but as a passion player I feel even more love for these ones… The metal charms are also lovey… I wish I could take them home with me right now!! (((゚Д゚)))

Bringing the Nendoroid Petite: IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Together for Some Fun!

The Nendoroid Petite: IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Stage 02 announced last week!

002
The lineup of Stage 2 includes…

The upper level: Mika Jougasaki, Kirari Moroboshi (Stage), Miku Maekawa (Stage) and Uzuki Shimamura!
The lower level: Miku Maekawa, Ranko Kanzaki and Kirari Moroboshi.

The second set is just as cute as the first!!! Last week I posted up a blog focused on this new set, so be sure to take a look if you missed it!

Nendoroid Petite: IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Stage 02
http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2013/06/07/nendoroid-petite-idolmster-cinderella-girls-stage-02/
02
Today’s blog post will be a little different to usual! I’ve gathered up all the Cinderella Girls here in the GSC offices and I’m going to have some fun with them! I’ve been wanting to do this for ages!!

Here we have the Nendoroid Petite: IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Stage 01 which is currently on sale! ヽ(゚∀゚)ノ

This big box contains eight smaller boxes, and in each small box is one of the cute idols you can see here! You’ll be able to find some stores that sell the larger boxes and others that only sell the singles – singles cost just ¥500, which is a really nice price for such a cute figure!

The singles are also ‘blind boxes’, which means you don’t know which figure you’ll be getting – you only get to find out once the box is opened up!
03
These are the seven idols from Stage 1!

They’re all so cute!!—–(*゚∀゚*)—–!!!!!!!!!

The detail on Anzu’s T-shirt and plushie bunny are incredible! For just ¥500 you get such a high quality figure that you can spin around and enjoy from any angle whenever you please!

And this set is already on sale in hobby shops!! ヽ(゚∀゚)ノ

If you’re a proud producer you can run down to your local store and pick them up right now! Plus you can put in a preorder for Stage 2 at the same time!! 😛
04
These two were the secret characters!!

Kanako Mimura wearing her ‘Fuwafuwa Smile’ S-Rare outfit as well as Rin Shibuya wearing her ‘New Generation’ S-Rare outfit! Just look at the intricate paintwork! There were so many different tiny areas to paint! Yesterday’s Kirari and Miku-nyan were also incredibly detailed, but the first stage certainly isn’t anything to miss out on!

These two aren’t prototypes! They’re the actual product versions!!

Truly amazing quality!! Just look at the strap around Kanako’s chest or the frills of Rin’s skirt… or even the detail on the microphones! It’s hard to believe these figures are just 6.5cm tall! This just goes to show what the GSC manufacturing team is capable of!! 。・゚・(ノД`)・゚・。
05
This was the WonFes Winter product, Nendoroid Petite: IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Anzu, Kaede and Rika + Live Stage Set!

Unfortunately sales for this product have already come to an end so it’ll probably quite hard to get your hands on if you missed it, but those who ordered them will be happy to know that they are scheduled to ship out from GSC on the 26th June!

Having three idols all in their S-Rare outfits as well as a lovely stage to display them on! What a lovely set! (*´∀`*)
01
All together on the same stage!

They all fit!! It’s a bit of a squeeze, but it still looks amazing! (((゜Д゜)))

One of my favorite things about Nendo Petites is that you can slowly but surely build up a collection like this! This set is a mix of prototypes and final products so some of the sizes are a little different, but I think that only adds to the charm! (Once the prototypes go into final production they’ll all be the same size, don’t worry!)

Today I’ll be taking a look at sets of characters together, based on their type and outfits! (`・ω・´)
07
First up, three Passion-types!

These are my personal idols!!! (゚∀゚ 三 ゚∀゚)

Just look how cute they are!! I know all the Passion players out there like myself are having their heart skip a beat just by looking at this picture! It’s like the characters just jumped out from the game!
08
Next up, three Cool-types!!

Those in charge of planning at GSC and Max Factory are both Cool-type players, you can feel their love for the characters!! (Otakana would like me to let everyone know that all the figures are made without any prejudice to type :P)

These three idols also all took high spots during the 2nd Cinderella Girls Election! From the left we have the third place, Kaede-san, the 5th place Rin Shibuya and the 1st place… Ranko! Cool characters are clearly very popular at the moment!! At this rate we’ll have to make a Stage 3 that includes Anastasia!
09
Finally, the Cute-types idols!

In GSC I think the only Cute-type player is Shuu-chan, but there are actually more Cute-type Nendoroid petites than any other type!

Shimamura-san and Kanako-san have such different body lines which you can tell even though they’re so tiny!! I hope one day we can see Sachiko join these girls too!
06
A collection of the S-Rare+ outfits!!

The casual outfits and uniforms are lovely, but as idols they really shine the most in their stage outfits! (*゜∀゜)=3

In the game these S-Rare outfits are always admired, and now producers can aim to own them both in the game and in Nendoroid Petite size! You can even get your favorite five idols together and have a live battle!!
11
Bonus! Height comparison!!

Kirari is taller than I thought at 186cm!! You can actually see the difference quite nicely in figure form! In general the figures are said to be 6.5cm tall, but the height does shift a little each way depending on the characters height, allowing you to compare their height!
10
Nendoroid Petite: IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Stage 02!

Stage 2: Ranko Kanzaki, Miku Maekawa, Kirari Moroboshi, Mika Jougasaki and Uzuki Shimamura! (The stage isn’t included!)
 
They’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!
Get in contact with our partner shops if you have any preorder or sales queries!

 
Finally a quick notice!

12
The Akihabara Good-Tetsu Café will be having a new IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls theme! (=゚ω゚)ノ

From the 2nd July to the 18th August there will be an IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls theme at the Good-Tetsu Café! The same popular ‘Café Open Login Campaign’ seen back in Spring will be coming back once again, and there will also be an all new menu made featuring your favorite idols!

More details will be available on the Good-Tetsu Café shortly, so keep your eyes open for updates if you’re interested. I didn’t get to go last time, but I’ll definitely make a visit this time around!!

Nendoroid Petite: IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Stage 02

The Nendo Petite Cinderella Girls…

001
All displayed together!!

Using what little influence I have, I managed to gather together all the Nendo Petite Cinderella Girls together! Even though they’re quite small, they still make for a lovely, colorful display when they’re all together – as you’d expect of idols!

With all of them together like this it’s almost like a miniature little dressing room for them to chat in! It looks like so much fun! (`・ω・´)

But I’m sure all the producers out there have noticed that there are a couple of Nendoroids here that weren’t here before! The long-awaited second set of Nendoroid Petite Cinderella Girls is coming up for preorder soon! ヽ(゜∀゜)ノ
002
Nendoroid Petite:
IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Stage 02

From the popular social game, ‘IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls’ comes a collection of cute Nendoroid Petite trading figures featuring five different idols from the game – Ranko Kanzaki, Miku Maekawa, Kirari Moroboshi, Mika Jougasaki and Uzuki Shimamura! The girls have each been shrunk down into Nendo Petite size wearing their casual outfits!

In addition to the standard five characters, there are also special versions of Miku Maekawa and Kirari Moroboshi wearing different outfits. This means there are a total of seven figures to collect in the set – five standard and two special!

Stage 1: Rin Shibuya, Anzu Futaba, Kanako Mimura, Kaede Takagaki and Rika Jougasaki!
Stage 2: Ranko Kanzaki, Miku Maekawa, Kirari Moroboshi, Mika Jougasaki and Uzuki Shimamura!

Preorders for Stage 2 will be starting soon!!

Plus, Stage 1 just went on sale this month! You can find them in hobby shops or online stores right now! Let me give a quick explanation of Nendoroid Petites for anyone who isn’t too sure how they work!

Each figure in Stage 2 will cost ¥600, and will come in a single blind box. You can also preorder a large box, which contains eight of the blind boxes! (`・ω・´) (Stage 1 are ¥500 each.)

‘Blind Box’ means that you don’t know which character is inside the box until you’ve bought it and opened it up! You can choose to either preorder the larger box to get a whole lot together at once, or instead buy the blind boxes one-by-one until you’ve collected all the characters you want!
003
This is how they look from the back!

All the players of Cinderella Girls only ever get to see the front side of the idols, so being able to spin them around 360 degrees and see other sides of them is one of the many great things about the figure versions!

You can have them all at different angles on your desk and enjoy them from sides you’ve never been able to do so before! Miku-nyan’s garter stockings look amazing from the back!!
004
Passion Type: Mika Jougasaki

She’s so cuuuuuuuuttee!!! I’m a passion-type player myself and I can say I’m very pleased how she’s come out!! Just look at her eyeliner, the scrunchie on her arm or the jersey tied around her hips… everything is perfect!

I can’t wait to display her together with her little sister from the first set!
005
Cute Type: Miku Maekawa!

If you’ve ever played Cinderella Girls then you have to have met Miku-nyan! She’s in her casual outfit before any special training-nyan!

Of course Miku-nyan is best known for her kitty outfits and poses… and fans of those outfits will not be dissapointed… you’ll see why a little bit later!
006
Passion Type: Kirari Moroboshi!

Kirari! Kirari is finally here to join the others!! ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━━!!!!

Kirari is such a special character to me… I’d be happy to spend so many Mobacoins on her!! In fact… I’ve already spent so many Mobacoins on her!!
The figure itself looks amazing too!
007
Cool Type: Ranko Kanzaki!

Ranko managed to take first place in the 2nd Cinderella Girl Election! Congrats!! (The election was really taken over my Cool Type characters!)

Even in Nendoroid Petite size her lovely umbrella is included! Otanaka was in charge of this product and you can really feel his love for the characters!!
008
Cute Type: Uzuki Shimamura!

Shimamura-san is looking great in her casual outfit! I do think it’s the outfit I see her in most often though!

Although… I wish I could see the new generation Shimamura-san as well!! Those gym shorts look so good on her!! I’m a Passion player so I can’t really speak out too much for the Cute players…. but I’m sure they’re all thinking the same thing! 😛
009
Kirari Moroboshi’s S-Rare+ outfit!

This is Kirari after she has had her ‘Lovely Princess’ special training! It’s the only Kirari I don’t have in the game…!

But that’s exactly why I intend to get the figure and keep it close at all times!! That said, I still really want her in the game as well! Nyowah!
010
Miku Maekawa’s S-Rare+ outfit!

Miku-nyan after completing the ‘Sexy Cute’ special training! That sideways glance and moe fang are adorable!!!

Both the S-Rare outfits have such unbelievable paintwork – there are so many different colors and such intricate paintwork! The GSC production and manufacturing teams are challenging themselves to the limits to make the best products possible!
011
The two S-Rare+ outfits together!

If you just spend the ¥600 on a blind box figure you won’t know which one is inside… but getting one of these amazing outfits for just ¥600 is quite incredible when you think about it! It’s a whole different thing to have the physical figure beside you, instead of just having the cards in the game!
012
Here we have the casual outfits together!

The S-Rare outfits are gorgeous and all, but these are also special in their own relaxing way, especially seen most players will have used the girls in these outfits a ton at the start of the game! (´∀`)

For all those who’s favorite character is in this set be sure to get your preorder in to ensure you can keep her by your side!! And for those who have yet to see your favorite character… grabbing these might help a Stage 3 come out in the future! 😛

Nendoroid Petite: Love Live!

New prototypes have arrived!! ヽ(゚∀゚)ノ

006
Phew! They arrived just in time!!

It’s fairly standard for GSC to make two sets of prototypes – however once the first set has been painted within GSC, the painting of the second set is normally outsourced to another company, to be painted based on the first set.

Today’s prototypes have literally just come back from that other company in time! If it had come back one day later I wouldn’t have had the time to create this post!!

The set of figures I’m talking about that caused all this… are none other than these lovely idols! (`・ω・´)
001
Nendoroid Petite: Love Live!

The characters from the popular anime series ‘Love Live!’ are joining the cute Nendoroid Petite trading figure series! The set includes Honoka Kousaka, the central member of the ‘µ’s’ school idol group, as well as two of the other members, Umi Sonoda and Kotori Minami!

Each of the characters comes in both their Otonokizaka Academy uniform as well as their ‘µ’s’ stage outfits, for a total of six different variations. Plus there is also one secret character to look out for! Collect and display them all to recreate the school idol project right by your side!

The original three members of ‘µ’s’ (‘Muse’) in both their uniforms and stage outfits!! (*゚∀゚)=3

You get to enjoy both the school-side and the stage-side of the series all in a single set of Nendo Petites! Each figure will cost just ¥600, with a total of seven figures to collect including one secret character! They’ll come in ‘blind boxes’, so you won’t know which character is in which box until it’s been opened!

As usual, you can choose to preorder a large box of eight figures, or instead buy them one-by-one at stores!
002
This is how the look from the back!

Take a close look at the two different variations of each character! The hair parts of the uniform version and the stage version are different!

It’s easiest to see on Umi-chan (left), but the stage versions of Honoka (center) and Kotori-chan (right) also have a more dynamic, moving appearance to their hair! It’s always great to see a whole new sculpt was made in order to include small details like these! (`・ω・´)
004
Umi Sonoda, Honoka Kousaka & Kotori Minami (Stage)!
The lovely μ’s debut outfits!

This shows the three characters as they looked when they first took the stage in episode 3! Even though there weren’t many people in the audience, they still sang and danced the best that they could for those who were there! It was such a lovely scene!! Honoka was really awesome in that episode… (*´∀`*)

Just look at those expressions!! They’re trying so hard!!
003
Umi Sonoda, Honoka Kousaka & Kotori Minami (Uniform)!
The standard side of the school idols!

All three of the girls wearing their Otonokizaka Academy uniforms! The uniform become quite popular for its cute design! The facial expressions also capture each of their personalities so nicely!

You can choose to pose them walking toward school, or instead chatting in the classroom! Your very own school idols will take whichever pose you prefer!
005
Umi-chan with an embarrassed expression!

Umi-chan was so cute in this scene!! I wish I could have been the one pulling the jersey down!! (*゜∀゜)=3

This expression isn’t included with Umi-chan – it actually comes from one of the Fate/Stay Night Nendoroid Petites… you might need to make a few little modifications with a craft knife in order to make it fit nicely. (Unfortunately I can’t confirm that the parts will swap out with the prototype.)

The expressions on Kotori-chan and Honoka are those from the uniform version – these should be able to swap easily. Nendos from the same series generally swap expressions without problems! I think these smiles actually suit the stage outfits very nicely!
001
Nendoroid Petite: Love Live!

 
They’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!
Get in contact with our partner shops if you have any preorder or sales queries!

 
But that’s all for today!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow!! (・∀・)ノ
