Grand Order)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Max Factory’s 1/7th scale…
Berserker/Tamamo Cat! ★

From the popular smartphone game ‘Fate/Grand Order’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the Berserker class servant, Tamamo Cat! She has been sculpted wearing her lovely bright red kimono.

Her cute facial expression and pose has been captured faithfully, with the contrasting bare shoulders giving the figure a bit of a sexy side as well! The hands and tail has also been carefully crafted to capture the fluffy-looking appearance as realistically as possible! Be sure to add the adorable Tamamo Cat to your Chaldea!

“Master! It’s time for walkies! You bring the collar!”

From Fate/Grand Order comes a figure of one of the members of the Tamamo Nine – Tamamo Cat! ♥

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Her fluffy ears, puffy hands and feet with soft looking paws, the rather revealing yet still cute Japanese-style outfit and that cute expression filled with happiness and curiosity have all captured the cute yet innocent charm of her character for fans to enjoy by their side!

The large ponytail and bushy tail have some impressive volume to them!

Perhaps the most important thing about Tamamo Cat is her animal parts, and they have been faithfully included with the same impressive size that they had in the original illustration! The fluffy parts even look like they would be fluffy to the touch! (ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

▲The contrast between her innocent face and her sexy body is so delicious!

The sole of the paws as well as each of the giant toes have all been sculpted with a soft, squishy appearance! It’s hard to believe that the figure is made from a solid, hard material!

▲ You can’t help but want to squeeze it! (ﾉ)・ω・(ヾ)

Moving a little further up the legs we also see she is wearing over-the-knee socks, and the paintwork has been carefully adjusted to show which parts of the material are stretched out showing more skin color, and the less stretched areas that remain black! ★

▲ Such amazing paintwork!

The sculpt and paintwork all come together nicely to differentiate the different textures of her outfit and also make her skin look so lovely and soft looking! Not to mention all the lovely furry looking bits! And the shiny bell!!

▲ The details inside her sleeve has also been faithfully preserved!

There really are an endless number of highlights on the figure, but perhaps my favorite is all the care skin on her back! Just look at those lovely shoulder blades!

The ability to enjoy the figure from all sorts of different angles is what sets it apart from the original illustration! ♥

Be sure to enjoy the cute Tamamo Cat in your collection!

Megumi Tokoro: Enchanting Sexy Dance Ver. (THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE!)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Phat! Company’s 1/8th scale…
Megumi Tokoro: Enchanting Sexy Dance Ver.!

From the popular idol production game “THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE!!” comes a 1/8th scale figure of Megumi Tokoro based on the “Enchanting Sexy Dance” illustration from the game!

The figure captures the sexy and dynamic pose from the original illustration for fans to enjoy from any angle they please! The glittering accessories and outfit together with her radiant smile and winking expression create a figure that is not to be missed!

“What do you think producer? I’m super gorgeous, right?”

From THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE!! comes a 1/8th scale figure of the considerate high-school girl with a rather stunning body – Megumi Tokoro! ♥

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Let’s start off with a quick spin! ♪

Isn’t she beautiful?!

The dynamic feel of her hair and the fabric of her outfit as she twists her hips has been faithfully captured on the figure. The outstretched arm and extended fingers are also lovely!

It’s one of those figures that is just asking to be looked at from all sorts of different angles! ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

A closer look at her hair accessory! ♪

▲ Makes use of translucent parts for a transparent appearance! ☆

The sexy dancer outfit she wears is filled with little accessories and patterns that have all been carefully sculpted and painted for a very pleasing appearance! ε=(｡・д・｡)

If we zoom in much closer…

You can tell that even her necklace and earrings are swinging with the motion of her dance! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

While they are just a small part of the motion conveyed by the figure, all the smaller parts come together to create the dynamic pose of the complete figure! You can also place her at a slightly lower angle so she is looking up at you just like on the original illustration for the card in the game! ★

▲ Careful sculpting all the way to her fingertips!

But let’s not ignore perhaps the most eye-catching details of the figure!! Just look at the soft, sexy look of the curves of her body!

That twist in her hips, the gentle slope of her stomach, the curves from her arm to her chest and the impressive bosom!! It really looks like her skin would be soft to the touch!! (灬ºωº灬)

Speaking of soft, also take note of her legs!

The lace-up high heels give a rather grown-up appearance to her cute little feet! The way the lace squeezes her calves brings out that delicious soft look even more! *nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

The curves from her knee up to her thighs are also so alluring!

▲ The layers of her outfit are all individually sculpted with a light, flowing appearance!

Although it is quite difficult to see, if you find an angle where you can see her back it has also been sculpted in lovely detail! It also shows the twist in her hips very realistically! ε- (´ー`*)

▲ Be sure to take a peek past her lovely long hair! ♪

Be enchanted with this sexy dancer by your side!

Saber/Attila (Fate/Grand Order)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/8th scale…
Saber/Attila!

From the popular smartphone game ‘Fate/Grand Order’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the Servant-class servant who wields Photon Ray, the War God’s Sword – Attila! The figure is based on an original illustration by huke!

The figure captures the mysterious air of Attila’s character through her expression, with her powerful yet supple brown-skinned arms and legs all sculpted in careful detail with close supervision by huke to create a work of art that fans will be proud to own.

Her iconic long, white veil and the unique colors and transparency of Photon Ray’s blade make use of translucent parts to create a faithful rendition of the original illustration in figure form. Be sure to add the proud yet wistful Attila to your collection!

“I will not destroy life. I will demolish civilization.”

From “Fate/Grand Order” comes a stunning scale figure of the proud and rational warrior with a mysterious emptiness to her – the Saber-class servant Attila!

At first glance it way seem like a rather simple standing pose, but the dynamic sculpt of the veil and outfit around her hips give the figure some really impressive details and volume!! ヽ(*´Д｀*)ﾉ

The movement of the outfit is most likely the first thing that captures your eye, but when you look closer you can really see the hard work put into the details and intricacy of the sculpt!

▲ These frills are so thin!

But the outfit is just one of many highlights! As the figure actually shows more skin than it hides, you can also get a nice look at her body’s curves and dark skin.

A truly magnificent body with sculptwork that captures the soft look around her hips and stomach. The pose also causes her rib cage to become quite a prominent feature that leads up to her chest creating a lovely little gap between her body and her outfit. The collarbone and the curves from her armpits to her chest are also such a wonderful sight!

Looking at this figure I can’t help but think it’s more of a work of art than a figure from a game… but at the same time it caters to various different fetishes at the same time!

Attila herself stands about 270mm in height, but with the sword included the figure stands 445mm in height!

You can’t really tell when looking from the back, but from the side you get a good feel for the sheer size of the long veil extending behind her! (∩・∀・)∩

Let’s take a step back quickly and first take a look at the original illustration by huke that the figure was based on!

▲ The first time this image has been shown! ♪

The illustration is filled with a powerful, imposing appearance and yet also somehow captures a more hidden, delicate side to her at the same time!

The figure has been very carefully tuned to be as faithful to the original illustration as possible, keeping the unique charm and style of huke’s design while converting it into a three dimensional version for fans to enjoy from any angle they please!

▲ Look into those eyes! Don’t they just draw you in?

Another highlight of the figure that helped to capture the appearance from the illustration is the use of translucent parts for the edge of the patterned veil, as well as on Photon Ray, the War God’s Sword. (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The translucent parts look slightly different depending on how the light hits them, adding to the mystique of the character!

The head sculptor for the figure was Manabu Katou from GSC’s production team, and when I asked him what his personal favorite point on the figure was he told me it was her back! (~~I could have sworn Manabu had a leg fetish, but maybe I’m thinking of someone else.)~~

From most angles her back is normally covered up with the veil which makes it quite difficult to see, but when you do get a good look at it from the side or from a lower angle you can enjoy the various up-and-downs of her spine and the upright pose!

Also note the neat white stripes all over her body including the back!

▲ I adore this angle!!

I also love the look of her knees! (*´﹃｀*)

That bumpy feeling of the knee has been captured by both the sculpt and the paintwork so beautifully. While the legs are thin they also have a bit of a meaty feel to them that make it look like they would be soft to the touch.

The planning team’s Chan Shuu-senpai who was in charge of this figure says his favorite point is the way the hair extends out from the veil! (´□｀｡)

▲ Note the mark on her forehead hidden behind the hair!
The wonders of being able to see from any angle you choose!

Along with that he also spoke about his love for the stomach area as well as the contrast between the white outfit and the darker skin! Definitely two points worth noting! (/ω＼)

This is one of those figures that I really want everyone add to their collections and enjoy for themselves! There is just so much to see and appreciate!!

Be sure to add the proud warrior to your collection!!
1/8th Scale Saber/Attila!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Saber of “Red” [Mordred] (Fate/Apocrypha)

Hello everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! Today I’m going to be taking a look at Phat’s…

Saber of “Red” [Mordred]!

“Clarent Blood Arthur!!”

From the light novel with an anime adaption on the way, ‘Fate/Apocrypha’, comes a 1/8th scale figure of Saber of “Red” [Mordred] wearing her iconic armor. The sharp-looking design of her armor as well as the disassembled and rebuilt form of her helm “Secret of Pedigree” attached to the back of the armor have been faithfully represented on the figure.

She is posed standing on the remains of a fallen golem with the Noble Phantasm “Clarent” in hand – the blade glowing with a brilliant light. The rebellious knight has been carefully crafted to capture all of her charm in figure form! Be sure to add her to your collection!

Manufacturer: Phat!
Category: 1/8th Scale
Release Date: 2017/11
Price: ¥14,800 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: KAKU / Koudai Abe (Fenrir) / Mitsuru Saito (Phat!)
Paintwork: SCRATCH MODELIST / Sakura / Takayama Hideki (Phat!)

Product Page: Saber of “Red” [Mordred]

The figure’s planner was none other than Phat! Company’s Uchitaro (@uchitaro) and he has joined me on the blog today to speak his thoughts on the figure! You can really feel his love for the character as well as the Fate universe with the amount of detail that has gone into this figure!!

So let’s get right to it! I think anyone will agree that the first thing anyone will notice on the figure is the texture and detail of the armor she is wearing!

The dynamic pose together with her facial expression all create an epic scene from the battlefield!

One thing to note is that the armor is not all simply colored the same, but instead carefully considers where there are shadows and different textures and alters the use of paint for a more realistic rendition of the iron armor!

Uchitaro: Take a look from the back as well! If you look close you will notice that the area from her shoulders down her back actually has the Noble Phantasm that was used to hide her identity: Secret of Pedigree! This was originally a helmet, but was disassembled and rebuilt to form the back part of her armor that you can see here. Those who know the story will know that her sword and helmet here are in the form that appeared after she revealed her true name, bringing out a bit of the story for fans to enjoy as well!

Suwabe: I, I see! In other words you not only get to enjoy the revealed form of Saber of “Red”, but also get a feel for the events that led up to her revealing herself!

Her expression is also very suited for combat!

Such a gallant look in her eyes, and that open mouth with each of her teeth carefully sculpted also capture the vigorous atmosphere of battle!

Let’s take a closer look at her Noble Phantasm, Clarent!

Just look at that stunning gradient!

Uchitaro: The purple-blue-purple gradient is based on the original description, “The color of a titanium bike muffler exposed to high temperatures”.

Suwabe: Such a beautiful selection of colors! When you look at the figure as a whole her Noble Phantasm really stands out thanks to the coloring!

▲ The reverse side is also faithfully sculpted and painted!

The hand grasping onto her sword and the sculpt of the spiky gauntlet and armor are simply amazing!

Due to the position of her arm when you look at her from the front you can’t normally see her chest, but when you take a look from a different angle you can see that the mark on her chest and the layers of her chest armor are all faithfully included on the figure’s design!!

▲ The armor on her feet also have some rather painful looking spikes! It’s these little details that all come together to create an amazing figure!

▲ A closer look at her hip area where you can better see the details!
I really wish you could see them in person!!

Utaha Kasumigaoka: Swimsuit Ver. (Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I don’t think I have worn a swimsuit nor gone swimming for over five years now. That said, I can barely swim anyway… if I ever do go swimming I will be sure to bring a swimming ring with me!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/7th scale…
Utaha Kasumigaoka: Swimsuit Ver.!

From the popular anime series Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend ♭ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the popular novelist Utaha Kasumigaoka wearing a swimsuit! The figure is the start of a second series of figures based on the original illustrations by Kurehito Misaki, featuring the Saekano girls wearing their lovely swimsuits.

Misaki’s delicate touch and unique coloring have been carefully preserved on the figure, while also capturing the sensual and soft appearance of Utaha-senpai’s body with intricate sculptwork and paintwork. The hat and pareo of the figure can both be removed allowing for a slightly customizable display!

Includes Bonus: Original Illustration Postcard (Illustrated by: Kurehito Misaki)

The first in a series of Saekano swimsuit figures based on original illustrations by Kurehito Misaki!

From Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend ♭ comes a sexy figure of Utaha Kasumigaoka based on original illustrations by the original character designer for the series, Kurehito Misaki!

The subtle changes in color and soft looking curves of her body have all been captured on the figure perfectly!

I think the area that really does it for me is her stomach! Those intricate ups-and-downs give her skin such a soft looking appearance!

The sitting pose gives the figure a different feel to standing poses… it’s a little hard to put into words but I get the feeling you can see more ‘gaps’ thanks to the seated pose!

The pareo also really looks like it is made from fabric, while the twists and twirls of the ribbon on her hat are also lovely!

▲ Even from this angle you can see her body is stunning! (・∀・)!!

By the way, many of you may remember that we already did a similar series based on artwork by Kurehito Misaki, where all the characters were placed in poses in the middle of getting dressed! This is a very similar series but will instead focus on all the heroines wearing their swimsuits!! You can find the previous series here! (∩・∀・)∩

The next in the series have already been announced and are well on the way!

– Eriri Spencer Sawamura –

* As displayed at Winter Wonder Festival 2017

– Megumi Kato –

– Michiru Hyodo Ver. –

Stay tuned for more updates!!

But let’s get back to our main feature for today – Utaha-senpai!! ♥

Such an impressive body for a high school student!

Even though she is in a rather revealing pose there is something about the wide-brimmed hat, the way her hand is posed gently pushing it up and the gentle smile that make her look so very elegant!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Plus, although it may not be the first place your eyes look, the details on her feet are just as stunning as the rest of her body!

The metallic fastener on her shoe strap and intricate little toes with each of her nails carefully sculpted and painted show the amount of detail that went into the figure!

Many people think that swimsuit figures are mainly to see the chests and bottoms of characters… but there is always much more than that, and we strive to capture the details of every single part of the body as faithfully as possible for fans to enjoy!! (/ω＼)

Now for some customization options!

-1- Removable Hat

▲ With the hat removed see she still has her standard white headband! ε- (´ー`*)

-2- Removable Pareo

For those who want a better look at Utaha-senpai’s lovely hips underneath the pareo!

The swimsuit design underneath the pareo is also so rather cute!!

（。´-`）.｡oO（Be sure to take a nice close look from all sorts of angles once she joins your collection!）

（Also be sure to run your finger along her hips and stomach and feel those lovely bumps!!）Oo｡.（´-`。）

You can combine the parts however you see fit! Here she is with the hat but no pareo! ♥

▲ I personally quite like this combination!

Plus this product will also include a postcard featuring the original illustration by Kurehito Misaki that the figure is based on!

▲ This will be included in the package with your figure!

Add Utaha-senpai in her sexy swimsuit to your collection!

The 1/7th Scale
Utaha Kasumigaoka: Swimsuit Ver.!

Available for preorder from tomorrow!

Check the Good Smile Company website tomorrow for more information!

Also don’t forget to watch the second season which starts to air from the 14th April 2017!

Osomatsu-san Diorama Figure (Osomatsu-san)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I want to go out and enjoy the cherry blossoms with a nice bowl of oden!! I guess the season for oden is coming to an end now…!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at this…
Osomatsu-san Diorama Figure!

From the anime series ‘Osomatsu-san’ comes a special figure based on an original illustration by character designer Naoyuki Asano that features all six of the Matsuno brothers together! The illustration was based on the opening theme of the anime series where the six brothers jump out together, and the figure faithfully captures the dynamic feel together with a detailed base and background that creates a complete scene for the figure!

Each of the characters has been carefully sculpted to capture their unique traits, while also carefully tuning the figure as a whole to create a high-quality work of art that fans will be proud to add to their collection! Whether you choose to look at it from a distance and enjoy the characters as a group, or instead look up close at your favorite characters – don’t miss out on this amazing diorama figure!

The six grown-up Matsuno brothers as a single figure!

The figure was based on an original illustration drawn by the character designer for the series, Naoyuki Asano! ♥

The pose is a colorful and cute reminder of the opening theme to the series, with each of the characters in a pose that suits their individual personality!

Plus at the very bottom you have a base that is also made in the image of the Matsuno brother’s head shape to even further bring out the random atmosphere of the series! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

Of course, with the conversion into figure form all the areas that were never visible on the illustration have been faithfully sculpted to view from any angle you choose!!

Let’s start off with a 360° spin! ☆

Colorful and full of excitement!

While the figure features all six characters each and every one of them has been individually sculpted to capture their unique characteristics! I said earlier that the figure was a faithful representation of the illustration – but there is one difference if you look very close!

You may have noticed that on the illustration the colors used for the characters and the background are the same shades, but on the figure the characters and background use slightly different colors. The reason for this is that on an illustration it looks good, but when made into a 3D figure the same colors blend into each other which meant it made more sense to alter the colors slightly!

This is one of those examples that shows just how important the painting of the figure is! It’s not all just about the sculpt!

Anyway, let’s take a closer look at each of them starting with the oldest! ★

◆ Osomatsu ◆

A lovely, cheerful smile and pose! Even the details of his fingers have been carefully crafted!

◆ Karamatsu ◆

Those thick eyebrows and a pose trying to look as cool as possible! Just look at those low sunglasses and stylish placement of this right hand! The bundled up sleeves also look great! (・∀・)!!

◆ Choromatsu ◆

A rather upset looking mouth! You’ll notice the figure is tuned to look at as a whole with Osomatsu in the center, which is why the left side of his mouth appears slightly longer when you look at him directly from this angle.

It really is fun to compare all the characters personalities just by looking at the figure! You really get a good feel for the differences between the brothers!

◆ Ichimatsu ◆

A kind of sleepy smile together with his classic half-closed eyes! Note that his slightly messy hair has also been captured with the sculpt! ☆

◆ Jyushimatsu ◆

A wide open mouth with his arms up in the air for a super playful and energetic pose! The back of his hair sticking up too!! I can just imagine his voice playing through my head!

◆ Todomatsu ◆

Last but not least we have a jumping Todomatsu with his one leg far out to the side of the figure! The height of each of the brothers has also been carefully tuned to be faithful to the series!

They all look lovely! Plus the best thing is that as it is a figure you can completely change the angle and enjoy a rather unique appearance such as this one! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

▲ Be sure to spin it around and find your favorite
angle once they join your collection! ♡

Another little bonus with the figure!

The speech bubble part on top of Ichimatsu actually has a little opening in it! This allows you to insert a piece of paper or something similar…

To use the figure as a kind of memo stand!

This is just one way of making use of it! I’m sure there are other fun options that fans will figure out soon enough!

By the way, hasn’t anyone wondered how Jyushimatsu is being held up higher than the others? If you look from the side you can see!!

A fountain is shooting him up higher than the others!

▲ You can also see the water fountain from above!

Enjoy the Osomatsu-san universe in your collection with a single figure! ♡

Aty (Summon Night 3)

Hello everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! Today I’m going to be taking a look at Phat’s…

1/5th Scale Aty!

“My name is Aty, a teacher. A pleasure to meet you.”

From the fantasy simulation RPG “Summon Night 3” comes a scale figure of the main female character, Aty!

The figure is based on the promotional illustration that was drawn to celebrate the announcement of the PSP version of the game, and has been sculpted in 1/5th scale allowing for amazing details and careful attention to the textures to really make the figure stand out in any collection! The glasses she is wearing in the original illustration are also included but can be attached and removed as you wish, allowing you to choose how you prefer to display her!

Manufacturer: Phat!
Category: 1/5th Scale
Release Date: 2017/10
Price: ¥15,000 (Before Tax)
Sculptor: Yasuhiro Uchijima
Paintwork: Arakuma

Product Page: Aty

The lovely Aty-sensei has been transformed into an impressive 1/5th scale figure!! Most figures are normally around 1/7th scale or 1/8th scale, so this figure of Aty is probably a lot larger than you might be thinking!

The larger size allows for more intricate details on the face and helps to provide a nice dynamic feeling to the outfit! Plus the barrel base has also had a nice amount of attention given to it! ヾ(o´∀｀o)ﾉ

Just look at those gentle eyes and smile!! ♡

As you may have read in the product description, the glasses can be removed allowing for a slightly different appearance as well! (*´ω`*)

Even though I was told the glasses could be removed, I ended up returning the figure without ever taking them off for a photo, so I just stole the above photo from the product page! (ΦωΦ)

But I still took lots of photos that capture the impressive 1/5th scale details and the lovely curves that come with it!! (*´ω`*)

▲ The creases in her white jacket and boots as well as the tight feeling of the turtleneck one-piece all come together so nicely! I think turtlenecks are quite a rare sight in the figure world, but I for one am very glad that Aty is wearing it on this figure!!

A look from the the other side! 👍

Quite a daring angle, but you can’t quite see underneath the short one-piece! You’ll have to wait until she joins your collection for that! Somehow from this angle Aty-sensei seems more defenseless – particularly around the legs! It’s nice to get these different feelings for a figure from different angles.

▼A look from the back!

▲ From the back you can see how her hair is parted down the middle as it flows off to the sides. The details put into the shadows of the long hair really make it look stunning!

The flow of the white material around her is also just as stunning, and really brings the figure to life! (*´▽｀*)

▲I personally love boots that tie-up all along like this, but perhaps more amazing than the ties are the realistic creases along the boots!

They look like rather thick boots based on the design, but thanks to the creases you can get a good feeling as to where the actual feet and legs are within the boots! It makes me so happy just looking at them!! ヾ(o´∀｀o)ﾉ

▲The details on the belt and other accessories is also wonderful! You can clearly see the contrast between the leather areas and the golden buckle!

Onto my favorite shot for today!

I tried not to focus too much on the bare skin… but just look at those lovely thighs!! Plus the gap that forms between the boots and the legs… I just want to dive inside!!

Enjoy the company of the gentle teacher by your side! ♪
Phat! Company’s Aty!

She is currently up for preorder! ♡

Preorders close on the 27th April 2017 at 12:00JST!

Product Page: Rem: Wedding Ver.

The figure is based on a poster that was included in the October 2016 edition of Megami Magazine! She looks so very happy!!! Just looking at her adorable smile makes me feel all happy inside too!! (*´▽｀*)

Let’s start with a look from the back! ♪

When you get an angle where the veil isn’t covering anything up you can see just how revealing the outfit is! Perhaps the perfect outfit for the night after your wedding!

There is also quite the view if you look from a slightly lower angle, but we’ll get more into that a little later…

“Thank you! Thank you!! Let’s be happy together!”

Rem holds a bouquet in her right hand as she extends her left hand out toward you… leading you to a future together with her! The slight blush on her cheeks and that innocent smile… I couldn’t be happier! ( ;∀;)

Speaking of the extended hand… also take note of the ring on her finger! The proof of eternal love!

The rather simple design makes you imagine the kind of life that will unfold with Rem by your side from here on! (I don’t even know what I’m talking about anymore!)

▲ The design from this side is the same, but I was so excited about Rem wearing a wedding ring that I took an extra photo from this side too…

The bridal veil is also beautifully sculpted!

The pure white veil is matched with cute flowers that have a translucent appearance as well as little pearls that decorate her hair! The collection of white shows off just how pure she is! ( ;∀;)

As I have already been married to Rem I guess I no longer have to worry about catching the bouquet!! That said, this particular bouquet looks absolutely stunning! The intricate shadows and the gentle swaying movement of the ribbon has all been captured beautifully! (*´ω`*)

The entire outfit has also been coated in a lovely pearl paint which provides a nice glossy appearance! ♡

The shot everyone has been waiting for!

As if the lovely bare back wasn’t enough, if you look just a little lower down you can enjoy that luscious bottom as well! You’ll have to wait until she joins your collection to see any further than this though!!

Another thing to note is the shiny appearance of her knee-high socks as well as the intricate creases that have been formed on them due to her posing! The attention to detail really is impressive! This figure was born by Phat! Company’s planner Takamatsu (@Phat_stuff) with the dreams to have Rem find eternal happiness… I think this is a figure that shows that she has found it!

Ram (Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I don’t have any specific recipe that I’m good at… I often take a look at recipes online and can generally follow them without trouble, but I’ve never had a recipe that I thought I could make exceptionally well…

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

1/7th Scale Ram!♡

From the popular anime series ‘Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-‘ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the older of the twin maids that serve at the Roswaal mansion – Ram! The figure is based on the 2nd volume of the Blu-ray/DVD jacket cover for the series and features Ram wearing her characteristic maid outfit while holding a deck brush out in her right hand.

Ram is in a more resolute pose when compared to Rem, but her soft-looking lady-like figure has also been faithfully preserved on the figure for fans to enjoy! The base of the figure is specially designed to link together with that of the previously announced 1/7th scale figure of Rem to display the twin sisters together! Be sure to display Ram together with her beloved Rem!

“I am Rem’s older sister. That is one thing that can never be taken from me.”

From Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- comes a 1/7th scale figure of the older of the twin maids: Ram!

She has been posed in an imposing pose holding a deck brush out with her one hand! The confidence in her pose is almost enough to make you think that she is better at cooking, laundry, cleaning and sewing… when the truth of the matter is that title goes to her younger sister Rem!

The unique tailcoat-style design of her maid outfit has been sculpted beautifully, with the frills around her neck, sleeves and the skirt area all individually sculpted for amazing detail! (*´ｪ`*)

▲ The creases on her skirt are also lovely!

But it’s not just the maid outfit that looks amazing…

The opening on her back gives you a lovely look at her shoulder blades…

From the front her modest bosom looks so very soft! Plus those armpits!

The tight-fitting socks cover up most of the skin on her legs, but you can still easily make out the shapes of the area behind her knees thanks to the amazing sculptwork! You need to slide your finger along the legs to really appreciate the various little ups and downs that have been captured so perfectly! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

Let’s move on to her facial expression…

Those downward facing eyebrows and sullen expression… the pose captures Ram’s huffy personality at the start of the series!

I can just imagine her lashing out with some rather harsh words when looking at this expression! As you can see from the photo above, the eye underneath her hair has of course been painted in just as much detail as all the fully visible areas!

Another really well sculpted part is the soft-looking bristles of the deck brush!

▲ It really looks like it has some water absorbed in the bristles!

A figure based on the 2nd volume of the Blu-ray/DVD jacket:

Murakumo Kai-II (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Today’s Main Feature!!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/8th scale…

Murakumo Kai-II!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a new addition to Good Smile Company and Max Factory’s “Wonderful Hobby Selection” series of top quality figures – the fifth Fubuki-class special destroyer, Murakumo in her Kai-II form!

The figure has taken care to capture Murakumo’s charm as faithfully as possible – from her lovely long legs wearing dark stockings all the way up to the impressive long hair flowing behind her. Her 12.7cm twin high-angle gun mounts as well as the sharp appearance of the ship parts above her head have also all been faithfully included! Be sure to add the determined Murakumo Kai-II to your collection!

“It’s finally time to demonstrate the power of my upgrades in battle!”

The latest in the Wonderful Hobby Selection from Max Factory comes a lovely 1/8th scale figure of the fifth Fubuki-class special destroyer: Murakumo in her Kai-II form!

The gentle curves of her body and the contrasting sharp appearance of her ship parts make for a figure filled with so many highlights!! ヽ(*´Д｀*)ﾉ

From the back you can see the incredible dynamic sculpt of her hair as it flows behind her!

The pose is based on her standard Kai-II illustration from the game! She stands on one leg in a rather simple pose, but the dynamic appearance of her hair makes it look like the whole figure is dashing forward! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

What exactly is the Wonderful Hobby Selection?

A selection of products brought to you by Good Smile Company, featuring only the highest quality figures. Meticulous sculptwork, intricate paintwork with unique artistic flair and superior quality products made for those wanting to add only the best to their collection.
Experience the Extraordinary.

You can find a list of all the products in the series over at the WONDERFUL HOBBY SELECTION page: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/whs/

But anyway, let’s get back to Murakumo Kai-II! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

A lovely determined smile and cute eyes with sharp corners makes for an adorable expression, and her body is absolutely stunning!! (/ω＼)

The way the outfit sticks so closely to the shape of her stomach and the detail of the creases formed from that really shows the quality of the sculpt! You get a feel for the softness of her bare skin even though it is all covered up!!

Also note the collarbone!! It also looks rather impressive!

The tights covering her legs are also gorgeous with a lovely glossy look!

The thing to note here is that the slimmer parts of her legs have a darker appearance while the thicker areas are light as the fabric stretches! ★

Her rather characteristic loafer shoes also have a lovely texture as well as a mechanical appearance to them!!

Areas such as beneath her shoes were obviously never visible on the original illustration, but they have been specially thought out and sculpted for the figure!

The same thing goes for the area underneath her mini-skirt….! I really can’t go into much detail but let me just say that the artisan’s at Max Factory really know how to capture the feeling of different fabrics!! Be sure to take a nice close look once she joins your collection!!! I can’t say anything more than that!!

Let’s go back to the her hair again for a second! ♪

I already touched on the movement, but there is another thing about this hair that really stands out – the paintwork on the upper areas is a different color to that of the underside!! (°Д°；≡°Д°；)

The underside has a slightly lighter blue to it that not only brings out the three dimensional feel of the figure but also adds an extra light and bouncy feeling to the hair as it flows behind her! ♪

The little bunches of hair tied up to the sides of her face are also faithfully included on the figure – and in lovely detail too!

Be sure to take a nice close look once she joins your collection! ♥

Last but not least, let’s take a look at the ship parts! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

Just look at the amount of detail!!

They are not only detailed, but also can be moved around spun around for different nuances when posing!!

Scale figures generally focus on the details more than the playability, but it’s always nice to have these moving parts for a little extra fun as well!! It’s the little things that all come together to create an absolutely stunning product! ♥

Be sure to add the fifth Fubuki-class special destroyer to your collection!
Murakumo Kai-II!

She is currently up for preorder! ★
