ORANGE ROUGE

by

Nendoroid Ryunosuke Tanaka (Haikyu!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Whenever my wind wanders I often find myself eating melon pan. It’s even better after 10 seconds in the microwave! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Ryunosuke Tanaka!

From the popular volleyball manga series with an equally popular anime, ‘Haikyu!!’, comes a Nendoroid of Karasuno High School Volleyball Club’s up-and-coming ace, Ryunosuke Tanaka! He comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a provoking expression as well as the Buddha expression he would sometimes use when talking with his teammates.

The Nendoroid allows you to recreate a number of memorable scenes from the series and also comes with a volleyball as well as a special base made in the image of a volleyball court. Ryunosuke is the last member of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club to join the Nendoroid series, so be sure to display him with all his teammates and recreate your favorite situations from the series! Nendoroid Yu Nishinoya is also being rereleased at the same time! (sold separately)

“You’re not the only one that can get us out of trouble, Asahi-san!”

From the anime series “Haikyu!” comes a Nendoroid of Karasuno High School Volleyball Club’s up-and-coming ace, Ryunosuke Tanaka! ★

His iconic hairstyle has been captured on the Nendoroid by creating head and face plates that combine directly together to preserve that perfectly rounded look! (*´ｪ`*)

▲ The front hair and face plate are a single part!

The base is a volleyball court-style base as usual!

A special long and articulated stand together with a ball are also included allowing you to display him showing off his skill on the court!

He comes with three face plates! The first is the confident smile you can see above, and the second is this provoking expression that captures his character nicely! ★

Moving on to this third face plate…

The Buddha expression! (廿人廿)

I’m pretty sure anyone who isn’t a fan of the series would be rather baffled by this face plate! But it’s an amazing addition!

The unique eyes are lovely, but also note that the lips have been not just painted, but actually sculpted onto the face plate! ヾ(o´∀｀o)ﾉ

The contrast with the provoking expression is lovely!

The expressive Ryunosuke can be displayed in all sorts of fun ways! Be sure to play around and find your best if you decide to pick him up!

The final member of the Karasuno High Volleyball Club…
Nendoroid Ryunosuke Tanaka!

He’ll be up for preorder from the 31st May!

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company website for more info!! ☆

 

Plus this time around we also have an alternate version!

Nendoroid Ryunosuke Tanaka & Yu Nishinoya Extra Parts Set

The Yu Nishinoya Extra Parts Set version comes with additional parts to pose him in joint scenes with his partner, Yu Nishinoya! This includes a provoking expression for Nishinoya as well as alternate arm and lower body parts to recreate even more famous scenes from the series!

“The Karasuno 2nd Year Combo! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!”

This special version includes all the same items that were included with Nendoroid Ryunosuke Tanaka, along with an addition face plate, arm and leg parts for Noya-san!!

▲ Only these parts are included! Nendoroid Yu Nishinoya is sold separately!

In addition, both of these items will also come with a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Ryunosuke Tanaka “Up-and-Coming Ace!” Ver. when purchased from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP! ★

Be sure to consider it when preordering!

Last but not least, Nendoroid Yu Nishinoya will also be up for rerelease at the same time as Tanaka, so if you missed out you can easily grab the two of them together!

Nendoroid Kaoru Hakaze (Ensemble Stars!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We’re already half way through May! There are lots of interesting items coming up later this month, so stay tuned!!! ♪

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the latest ORANGE ROUGE product…
Nendoroid Kaoru Hakaze!★

From the popular game “Ensemble Stars!” comes a Nendoroid of the UNDEAD unit member, Kaoru Hakaze! He comes with three face plates including a standard confident expression, a winking expression for more idol-esque poses as well as a smiling expression with closed eyes.

Optional parts include a standard microphone as well as the stand microphone always seen during UNDEAD’s performances! Display him performing on stage or instead in more everyday scenes all in adorable Nendoroid size! Also be sure to display him with the upcoming Nendoroid Kanata Shinkai!

“Is everyone happy and smiling?”

From the series that recently celebrated its 3rd anniversary, “Ensemble Stars!” comes a Nendoroid of the UNDEAD unit member, Kaoru Hakaze!! He has been sculpted wearing his black stage outfit and can easily be posed in his iconic “We are UNDEAD” pose!

▲The cute little hand is perfect!

The outfit is mostly black, but you can see there are lots of shades and details that capture the outfit in lovely detail for a Nendoroid! ♪

▲ The hair flowing over his shoulder also looks great! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

Optional parts include a microphone for him to hold, as well as the stand microphone always seen during UNDEAD’s performances! ★

These allow you to recreate all sorts of poses from his stage performances in adorable Nendoroid size!!

He also comes with three different face plates, the first is his standard expression which can be seen in the photos above, and his second is…

A winking expression!★

In addition, his hat can also be removed for even more posing options!

You can combine his standard expression with the winking expression to kind of posing him blowing a kiss to his fans! (*´ｪ`*)


Moving on to this third face plate…

A Smile with Closed Eyes!

This smile was seen on a couple of his card illustrations from the game!

The contrast between this smiling expression and his cool and composed standard expression is lovely! It really separates the idol side of his character to the more playful high-school student side!

Add the adorable UNDEAD member to your collection!
Nendoroid Kaoru Hakaze!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!☆

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company Official Site for more info!

Nendoroid Tamaki Yotsuba (Idolish7)

Hello, everyone.

Kaho-tan here. ( @gsc_kahotan )  I enjoy custards hard and soft alike – but a bitter caramel sauce is what really makes my day!

Today we’ll be taking a look at:

Nendoroid Tamaki Yotsuba★

From the smart phone game “Idolish7” comes this Nendoroid of the lethargic yet considerate Tamaki Yotsuba!

He comes with a languid standard expression, gallant “ikemen” expression, as well as an expression with a beaming smile. And in addition to Tamaki’s beloved King Pudding, he also has a King Pudding pillow! Enjoy recreating his glimmering idol side as well as his everyday laidback side, with enough parts to enact a wide variety of situations! Be sure to display him together with Nendoroid Sogo Osaka (sold separately), also available for preorder.

“If it’s for King Pudding, I’d do anything.”

Tamaki Yotsuba is not only a member of the “Idolish7,” but the Idolish7 sub-group “Mezzo” – brought to you in cute Nendoroid form.

He’s wearing his favorite King Pudding t-shirt, and that haphazard expression while lazy is… entirely appropriate, don’t you think? ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

▲His loose-fitting cat-ear hoodie looks pretty cute from the back, too… !

In addition to a standard expression where you can almost hear his lackadaisical remarks, two other face plates are included.

We’ll take a look at this one first – his gallantly decisive face!

This is an expression oozing with confidence…!  That twinge of rebellion about it is nice, too. ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

And depending on how you look at it, it could come across as rather boastful as well… !

Even so, I could never despise him for it!!  Seeing this pose makes me want to shower him in praise!!

(By the way, the pose above is modeled after the “#5 Boy I’d Want to Hold Me!”)

And the 3rd face plate that you’re all so curious about is…

This beaming smile!

He comes with both a container of King Pudding and a spoon, so you can recreate that moment of bliss Tamaki experiences while eating his favorite food! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

They go perfectly with his standard expression too, so you can have him just chowing down as well… !

Pair them with his decisive face, and it looks like he’s proudly proclaiming the superior flavor of King Pudding. ε-(o´ω｀o)

▲Conclusion: Pudding goes well with all expressions.

And as an accessory we’ve included…

A King Pudding Pillow!!

It comes with its own base so you can stand it up, or have Tamaki hold it like you see in the GIF above!

You can enjoy him on his own, or pair him together with Nendoroid Sogo Osaka (available for pre-order right now) to have even more fun!

 

▲Here are some of the situations I came up with…

▲Playing around with the concept of a two member photo shoot…

You can cherish them both to your heart’s content!

So what do you say, wouldn’t you like to add Idolish7’s somewhat lazy but kindhearted prodigy to your collection?

Nendorid Tamaki Yotsuba

Available for pre-order from 26th Aptil (Thu)!

YURI!!! On ICE x Sanrio Characters

And the stars of today’s blog are… !

Hey, everyone.

Kaho-tan here. (@gsc_kahotan )

And today we’ll be taking a look at

YURI!!! On ICE x Sanrio Characters!

From the anime series “YURI!!! on ICE” comes a selection of collectible trading figures designed in collaboration with the Sanrio characters series! The line-up includes six different figures including Yuri x Pochacco A, Yuri x Pochacco B, Victor x Pompompurin A, Victor x Pompompurin B, Yuuri x Hello Kitty A and Yuuri x Hello Kitty B. Be sure to add the small, cute characters to your collection!

Cute collectible figures of the YURI!!! On ICE characters made in collaboration with Sanrio characters!

Yuri Katsuki, Victor Nikiforov, and Yuuri Plisetsky from “YURI!!! on ICE” together with Sanrio characters Pochacco, Pompompurin, and Hello Kitty! ♥

 

These miniature figures are based on a cute illustration that featured them all in matching poses and costumes.

Well, let’s take a look at the line-up, shall we? (っ’ω’)っ))

Yuri x Pochacco A

Yuri x Pochacco B

Victor x Pompompurin A

Victor x Pompompurin B

Yuuri x Hello Kitty A

Yuuri x Hello Kitty B

 

They’re just… they’re just all so… SO…  OMG SO CUTE!!  //bows down before their cuteness

And even though they’re so small, all the painting and detail work is meticulously done! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

▲Even though it’s hidden under his bangs, Yurio’s right eye is still there!

▲And as you can see on Pompompurin and Victor’s bottoms… !

▲This fluffy round tail is just so… so cute… unbearably cute… !

How big are they?  Well, here’s one compared to a Nendoroid for scale.

▲Nendoroid Victor Nikiforov

Alright, so let’s go over some of the basics for these figures you may not know! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

① These are trading style figures, so until you open the box, you won’t know what’s inside.

② There are 2 figures in each box.

In these combinations:

・Yuri x Pochacco A

・Yuri x Pochacco B

・Victor x Pompompurin A

・Victor x Pompompurin B

・Yuuri x Hello Kitty A

・Yuuri x Hello Kitty B

 

③ There are 6 boxes in each case, and 6 varieties in total, so if you order 1 case, you can get all 5 varieties.

You can leave it up to fate, or be sure that you get them all by purchasing a case!

The choice is up to you – either way is a lot of fun!

But if you have a lot of them, you can enjoy posing them together in different ways… !

▼Victor B＋Yuri B＋Hello Kitty B

▼Yuuri B＋Pompompurin A＋Pochacco A

(Think of all the different stories you cold come up with… !)

Be sure to add these cute YURI!!! On ICE x Sanrio Characters mini figures to your collection!

Juzumaru Tsunetsugu (Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-)

Hello, everyone.

Kahotan here (@gsc_kahotan).  And if it’s sakura mochi, I prefer the domyoji variety.

I hope to have them 3 more times while they’re in season… !

Moving on – today I’ll be showing you the 1/8 scale figure

Juzumaru Tsunetsugu

available for pre-order as we speak!

From the popular browser and smartphone game “Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-” comes a 1/8th scale figure of Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, one of the Five Great Swords, based on his standard standing illustration from the game.

His gentle, relaxed and yet powerful appearance has been captured in intricate detail, with his iconic long hair sculpted with great care to capture each and every strand as faithfully as possible, together with meticulous paintwork to preserve the unique gradient. Be sure to add him your tour collection!

A beautiful scale figure of Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, one of the Five Great Swords

⇒See product details here

We reviewed this figure on our live webcast last month, but let’s take another look here on the blog (∩・∀・)∩

The cape draped over his shoulders faithfully captures the elaborate pattern seen in game!

▲The pattern is drawn in white paint on top of a white material, for a crisp an elegant look that’s not too showy ♪

It also features the lotus motif seen on his sword as well as his gloves.

The look of various materials, such as the hilt/sheath, gloves, and prayer beads, have been created not only through the sculpture process, but also by the gloss or matte texture of the paint.

Let’s turn him around for a look at the back ε=(｡・д・｡)

The intricate way his hair is bound and complex way it’s layered add a lot of volume to the figure, but the meticulous way in which the color gradates is truly… amazing!

▲The bangs framing his face are lighter as well, capturing that near translucent aspect of the illustration.

The raging swell of the center portion that transitions from white to gray, and those layering chunks of hair deserve special attention! (´□｀｡)

The slight spaces (gaps) between those ribbons of hair allow for a sense of volume without any clumpiness, invoking a light and airy look.

And be sure to check out those prayer beads!

((´д`●))三((●´д`))

The prayer beads feature the same kind of color gradation as his hair, but if you take a close look you’ll see that each an every bead more or less has a unique color – talk about details!

And the way his tightly sealed lips are sculpted create a slightly different expression depending on the angle.  (っ’ω’)っ))


For example, this angle is slightly youthful and endearing… !

While this angle looks elegant and compassionate… !

And from this angle, he looks focused on sharpening his nerves, and a bit difficult to approach… !

With eyes closed as if in prayer, it’s difficult to know the inner workings of his mind, but when you add Juzumaru Tsunetsugu to your collection be sure to carefully examine him from all sides (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

One of my personal favorite details are the hands!!

I just really love the position of his fingers… (/ω＼)

Each finger is crafted with perfect amount of nuance, so you get the sense of deliberateness…  Do you know what I mean?  It’s as if they’re captured in mid-motion, frozen forever in a moment of time.

 

With his hair and costume tousled in the wind, you also get a sense of “movement” from the sculpture, but with the additional subtleties expressed in his fingertips there’s an added sense of realism to the figure!ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

Nendoroid Taikogane Sadamune (Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-)

Hello, everyone!

Kahotan ( @gsc_kahotan ) here!  And once upon a time I lived in Sendai City.

It’s been quite a while since I was last there, so I’ve been meaning to go back… !

So, what is it we’ll be looking at today… ?

Nendroid Taikogane Sadamune!

From the popular browser and smartphone game “Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-” comes a Nendoroid of Taikogane Sadamune, the trendy sword that likes to do everything in style! He comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a combat expression and a smiling expression based on the line “Awesome. I’m all charged up!”.

His sword can be displayed both sheathed or drawn and his haori coat includes a joint allowing you to display him in various different situations. Be sure to add him to your collection and display him with the previously released Nendoroid Shokudaikiri Mitsutada who is also being rereleased at the same time!

An opportunity like this comes once in a lifetime.  Let’s do this in style!

Introducing Taikogane Masamune in cute and tiny Nendoroid form♪

You might have seen him on yesterday’s live webcast, but let’s take another look here on the blog!

He may be SD, but his lively expression, white costume, unique hairstyle, and other defining aspects of his character have all been captured perfectly!

Even the back of his head has been sculpted in great detail! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

You may have noticed, but his cape is actually split into 2 parts, each with its own specialized joint, so you can make it flutter to the left or right depending on his pose!

In addition to his standard expression seen above, he also comes with a brave battle expression for that once in a lifetime fight.

Behold that fierce smile and sharp gaze as Mune-chan prepares to enter into battle (っ’ω’)っ))

▲Completely different from that bright and cheerful disposition from before, but no less charming… !

And the 3rd face you’ve been so patiently waiting for is the deliciously ironic smiling expression!

(I want to protect… I mean be protected by that smile!)

It’s almost a slightly bashful expression, but strangely puts my mind at ease… !  Like his big heart could take on and conquer anything… !  (Maybe that’s just me…)

So let me say once again…

Sada-chan will be joining

the Nendoroid inner circle ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

As we announced the other day, Nendoroid Shokudaikiri Mitsutada will be re-released at the same time★

You could enjoy them on their own, but they’re even better together ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

Just like the other Touken Danshi, Sada-chan comes with a special base for his stand ε-(o´ω｀o)

▲Talk about a cute seal… !

What could be better suited for the Touken Danshi that likes to do things with style?

Nendoroid Taikogane Sadamune

will be available for pre-order from (Fri) 13th April!

For product details, please visit the Orange Rouge Official Site or the Good Smile Company Official Site around 12pm JST♪

In addition, customers ordering Nendoroid Taikogane Sadamune at the Goodsmile Online Shop will receive a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Taikogane Sadamune “I’m All Charged Up!” Ver. as a special bonus!

Something to consider when making your pre-order!

But that’s not all!  These will be available for pre-order at the same time, too!

Imanotsurugi (Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this item that went up for preorder earlier today – the 1/8th scale…
Imanotsurugi!

From the popular browser and smartphone game “Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-” comes a 1/8th scale figure of Imanotsurugi, based on his standard standing illustration from the game.

His sweet facial expression, iconic hairstyle blowing about in the wind, the brilliant red of his outfit and the gentle look of his stride are all captured in intricate detail to create a figure of Imanotsurugi that fans will be proud to add to their collection! Be sure to add him to your collection!

“I’m Imanotsurugi! The sword that protected Lord Yoshitsune!”

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

His long hair blowing about in the wind, his elegant appearance, the details of his beautiful armor and the strings tied all around his outfit have all been captured in amazing detail!

He has been sculpted in his standard illustration pose with one foot forward and the other back as if gently walking along! It’s a rather simple pose, but it has a lot of motion to it that really makes him feel right there beside you!

This product was actually first a product during Max Factory’s in-office contest by sculptor Nanako! It was so well received that we decided to transform it into a full release!

Anyway, let’s take a closer look! ♪

This close up look gives you a good look at his gentle smile and his lovely dark red eyes! He has such a cheerful look about him that really makes me feel all happy inside too!!

Now let’s take a look at the details of his outfit! ε=(｡・д・｡)

The short sword at his side has all the patterns and details included on the design, and all the various strings that decorate his outfit are also faithfully included!

The creases on his hakama are definitely visible, but are fairly moderate in order to capture the slightly harder material! You really get a good feel for the different textures of his outfit due to the careful work that has been put into the sculpt!

▲  Even the straps of his sandals are lovely and detailed!

The front part of his hair also makes use of a very slightly translucent material in order to capture that see-though look from the original illustration!

In order to keep the figure looking good from any angle, it’s not quite as transparent as it was on the original illustration, but it definitely is noticeable! I also love peeking at his other eye through this little gap in his hair!

Another area that I love is his cute little hands!

You can see he is putting force into stretching out each of those little fingers!

▲ The slightly squishy curve from this angle looks great! (・∀・)

In addition, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a miniature sword charm as a bonus!ヾ(o´∀｀o)ﾉ

▲ It’s so much shorter than the previous sword charms!!

By the way, here he is displayed next to an iPhone6s! ♪

▲ He is rather small for a scale figure, but that’s what makes him so cute!!

Be sure to add the short sword to your collection! ♪
The 1/8th Scale Imanotsurugi!

He is currently up for preorder!

Nendoroid Itaru Chigasaki (A3!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

From the popular game “A3!” comes a Nendoroid of the refreshing and gentle elite company employee, Itaru Chigasaki! He comes with three face plates including a gentle standard face, a winking expression as well as a confident expression to display him playing games.

You can enjoy him with his standard look, but he also comes with a smartphone, console controller and alternate front hair parts to display him as the hardcore gamer that he is! Be sure to enjoy all sorts of situations with the princely elite salaryman in your collection!

“Haha. If there is anything troubling you, just let me know.”

From the popular smartphone game that has surpassed 5 million downloads, “A3!” comes a Nendoroid of the refreshing prince and “Elite Company Employee”, Itaru Chigasaki!! ♪

The gradient of his hair that becomes slightly lighter toward the tips, his prim outfit yet contrasting shoes that show off his ankles as well as that princely smile and beautiful eyes have all been captured in lovely detail for his Nendoroid rendition!!

▲ The way his hair stands up at the back looks great! (*´ｪ`*)!!

Along with his standard expression above, he also comes with a classy winking expression as his second face plate!

The way he looks so calm while winking makes you think he is used to making this pose! He looks so confident and comfortable with it! There is something about it that also gives off a bit of a sexy air too!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Moving onto his third face plate…

A confident expression perfect to display him in gamer mode!

He suddenly doesn’t look quite as princely and friendly when he is in this mode!! The smartphone which he uses to play games and spends way too much on micro transactions is also included for him to hold in his hand!

In addition, he also comes with an alternate hair part with his hair up for a rather different look entirely!! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

In his hand he holds a console controller to show he is really ready for the more hardcore level of gaming!! The controller is the same one that was included with the previously announced Nendoroid Banri Settsu!

This of course means you can easily display the two hardcore gamers together, either playing as friends or as rivals!! ♪

▲ A victory wink! ☆

The alternate hair part faithfully has all the hair bunched up on top!

Enjoy both the refreshing princely side as well as the more playful gamer side of Itaru in your Nendoroid collection! ★

Nendoroid Yuri Plisetsky: Casual Ver. (YURI!!! On ICE)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

It’s nice to have something warm and fluffy during these colder days… I unfortunately don’t have a pet to snuggle up with, so I instead keep a warm and fluffy blanket by my side!

Anyway, today I’ll be taking a look at ORANGE ROUGE’s…
Nendoroid Yuri Plisetsky: Casual Ver.!★

From the popular anime series “YURI!!! on ICE” comes a Nendoroid of the “Russian Fairy”, Yuri Plisetsky wearing a casual outfit! He comes with two face plates including a standard sullen expression as well as the smiling face when he gave Yuri his Katsudon Pirozhki.

Optional parts include his smartphone as well as his beloved cat Potya, he also comes with an alternate lower body part to display him with his leg up in the air in a dropkick pose in order to capture the more delinquent side of his personality! Be sure to display him together with his rival Yuri Katsuki and enjoy all sorts of different situations in Nendoroid size!

“If you retire now I’ll make you regret it for life. Idiot.”

The Russian ice-skater known as the “Russian Fairy”, Yuri Plisetsky, is rejoining the Nendoroids in a more casual outfit! The outfit and his personality have all been captured on the Nendoroid in such perfect detail!! Just looking at him makes my heart skip a beat! (´□｀｡)

The hood part unfortunately can’t be removed, but instead that means that from the back the cute round form of the hood has been faithfully preserved! ♪

▲ The pattern on his outfit also goes all the way around to the back!

This time around we have also included a special drop-kicking lower body part made in the image of the scene where he first meets Yuri! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

This is an alternate part with the hips and right leg connected together in order to pose the leg much higher up in the air! ♪

▲ The hands in his pockets and delinquent style have all been
captured in such a cute way for the Nendoroid! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Moving on to his second face plate…

The smile he had when he gave Yuri his Katsudon Pirozhki!

Isn’t he just precious?! That cute smile, those teeth and that slight blush!!

In addition, you can easily combine this figure with parts from the previously released Nendoroid Yuri Plisetsky for even more display options! For example…

◆Nendoroid Yuri Plisetsky‘s Standard Face Plate

◆Nendoroid Yuri Plisetsky‘s  Agitated Expression!

◆Nendoroid Yuri Plisetsky‘s Katsudon Pirozhki Parts

This scene would look even better with Yuri Katsuki standing by his side! Be sure to display this Nendoroid together with the other previously released Nendoroids from the series and enjoy all sorts of different situations in Nendoroid size!!

Nendoroid Yuri Plisetsky: Casual Ver. also comes with his very own options parts including his beloved cat Potya as well as his smartphone!

▲ He must be taking photos for Instragram?

Potya can even be placed in his hands! ฅ*・ω・*ฅ

▲He looks so happy relaxed with his beloved kitty!

Last but not least, here are a few photos of Yurio together with some others that I thought he would like! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

▲ A two-shot selfie with Nendoroid Serval! ☆

▲ Together with a white tiger! ☆

Be sure to enjoy your own situations once he joins your collection!

Be sure to add the adorable Russian ice-skater to your collection!

Aoba: Gothic Ver. (DRAMAtical Murder)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Aoba: Gothic Ver.!★

From the popular PC game “DRAMAtical Murder” comes a scale figure of Aoba dressed in the Gothic outfit that featured in the Nitro+chiral Special Kuji! He is posed wearing a white coat featuring pearl paintwork for an elegant appearance as he stands with a charming smile on his face.

The feather accessories all over his design have been carefully included and made from translucent parts for a slightly transparent appearance that creates a high class appearance. His dog-type ALL-MATE Ren is also included in a similar outfit! Be sure to add this intricately sculpted masterpiece of Aoba to your collection!

A figure of Aoba in his magnificent “Gothic” outfit!

An item to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Max Factory as well as the 30th anniversary of Max Factory!! The figure is based on the Gothic outfit that featured in the Nitro+chiral Special Kuji originally illustrated by honyalala! The illustration looks absolutely fantastic transformed into figure form!! ★

All the charm from the original illustration has been captured in amazing detail, and all the details that were never even visible on the illustration have also been included!! Just look at the creases in his outfit, or the lovely flow of his hair!

The white coat he wears makes use of a pearl paint that gives a lovely glistening, elegant appearance that also brings out the texture of the outfit beautifully! ♪

▲ The creases in his boots, and the twist of his ankle!! (・∀・)!!

His hat features an intricate feather that makes use of a golden paint that brings out that princely appearance perfectly! ♥

The feathers also make use of semi-translucent parts to capture the appearance as faithfully as possible!

Take a closer look at his gloves and you’ll see the detail of each of his finger joints!!

▲You can also make out the “thickness” of his gloves thanks to the sculpt!

Another area that really stands out to me is… here!ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

All of the fasteners along his chest have been carefully detailed, and the difference in the amount of creases in the outfit has been carefully adjusted to have more toward the bottom to match those pose!

The fact that he is leaning against the knight piece with a more relaxed pose means there creases are all the more realistic!!

The amazing attention to detail on the figure is simply outstanding!!

As a side note, the figure stands approximately 250mm in height! The current base is provisional, but the final version will be something similar! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲Size comparison with an iPhone6!

Let’s take a look from a bit of a lower angle!!

Standing by Aoba’s side, we have…

His dog-type ALL-MATE Ren!

Ren is wearing a similar outfit to Aoba and looking lovely and regal by his side! His fluffy looking fur is just asking to be petted!!

▼His hair is lovely and detailed, the his hat and scarf also look great!▲

He also is not attached to the base, so you can even choose to display Ren all on his own somewhere else should you choose! ♪

There really is way too much to enjoy about this figure to introduce with just one blog, so I’m going to have to cut it short, but let me end with at least taking a closer look at his facial expression! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The gentlemanly smile on his face has such a cool and composed look to it, with a perfect curve for his lips that has been sculpted with thrilling accuracy!! Simply changing the angle you look from can provide a rather different feel to his expression!

My personal favorite is from this angle!

The downward glance just seems to suit his regal appearance so perfectly to me!!

As I mentioned, the gentle smile from above suddenly has a rather different, somewhat condescending look from this angle!

If we instead move slightly more to the left though, the feel behind the expression changes once again and seems to make him look a little younger!

You can see the expression allows for all sorts of different opportunities when posing, so be sure to find your favorite if you choose to pick him up!! (/ω＼)

Be sure to add this memorial item to your collection!
Aoba: Gothic Ver.!

He’ll be up for preorder from the 21st December!
