Minami Nitta: Sleeping Little Devil Ver. (THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS)

Hi everyone!
Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here!

The end of this month is Halloween!! I’ve been having dreams of running into beautiful girls like the one below on Halloween night!

 Today I’m going to be taking a look at… (ΦωΦ)

Max Factory’s 1/7th Scale…

Minami Nitta: Sleeping Little Devil Ver.

“Come now… let’s have some wonderful dreams.”

From the idol production game ‘THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of Minami Nitta. The figure is based on the ‘Sleeping Little Devil’ version of Minami and faithfully captures her pose and outfit of the card after special training!

Enjoy the sexy outfit as well as her shy yet gently smiling expression from any angle you choose! The top of her shoulders also makes use of translucent parts to recreate the see-through appearance of her outfit! Be sure to add this devilish version of Minami to your collection!

Let me start off by saying… THANK YOU MAX FACTORY!!!

Ever since the unpainted prototype of this figure was announced I have been waiting patiently for the final version in the hopes that I could take photos of her and introduce her on the blog!! I was so happy when I got the go ahead! It is such an honor!!

So without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the amazing sculpting and paintwork that fits the title of ‘Little Devil’ so perfectly!!

▼ Just look at this cute yet captivating beauty!!

The facial expression, pose, outfit… everything about the composition of the figure provokes all five… if not all six of the human senses!!

Looking from the side you can see the tail coming out from the gaps of her skirt and winding around her arm creating such a captivating pose!

How could anyone remain calm staring into the eyes of this slightly blushing expression together with such a sexy pose!! I know I can’t!!! ( ;∀;)

But it’s not just the expression and the pose, also take a look at the amazing details and colors of her outfit!!

It’s no exaggeration to say that it really brings out all of the Minami’s charm to the maximum!!

▲ First up note the details on her high heels!

To think that the shy Minami would wear such a sexy pair of shoes is more than enough to put a little smile on my face…

▼ The zips all over the design look amazing!

You can find zips on her chest, skirt and knee-high socks! The fact that some of them are zipped down allow for more of her bare skin to show bringing out a more sensuous feel to the figure!

▼ Outfit has see-through shoulders!

I love the use of semi-transparent parts on figures to create effects like this! They bring out that mysterious beauty effect so nicely! The frills of her skirt and the tips of her arm covers also make use of the same transparent parts to add to the work of art!

▼ Not just sexy, but also so cute!!

The heart-shaped earrings, braided hair tied up with little ribbons and a heart surrounding the devil horns… amazing attention to detail that brings out the cute elements to her design beautifully!

▼A look from the back!

The wings that you could see peeking out from the back even on the original illustration have been faithfully preserved on the figure! The heels also look fantastic from the back!

▼ Her shapely waist is also lovely!

There are more and more areas I could focus on, but I have to leave some of the fun for you once you add her to your collection! ♥

Minami Nitta: Sleeping Little Devil Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from the 14th October 2016 JST!

I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep with the excitement! |д゚)

Djeeta: Idol Ver. (Granblue Fantasy)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Phat!’s latest product…

Djeeta: Idol Ver.!

From the popular smartphone game ‘Granblue Fantasy’ comes a figure of Djeeta dressed up in the popular idol outfit she wore during the 2015 April Fools’ event!

The gorgeous outfit, cute pose and lovely smile all come together to bring out the idol in Djeeta! You may have only seen this version of her on April Fools’ day, but now you can add her to your collection to enjoy her live performance whenever you please!

“Come now… let’s go to that beautiful, shining stage!”

The adorable idol version of Djeeta that was originally made as an April Fool’s joke is going to be released as a 1/7th scale figure!! Her outfit filled with frills and a cute chequered design together with all all the detailed little accessories have all been faithfully included on the figure’s design! ♡

▲ A chequered design together with frills…
The factory is going to have their work cut out for them!

The cute puff sleeves, sewing lines along her blouse and the frills on her collar… everything about the outfit is so beautifully kept in tact for the figure! (*´ェ`*)

The bunched up look of her socks capture the material they are made from so realistically! It’s hard to think that they will be hard to the touch!! ♪

The shoes also have a metallic look to them which contrasts with the soft looking socks and bow that ties the whole shoe together so nicely!!

The different textures of her skin, the socks and the shoe are such a pleasure to look at!! ♡

Plus just look at her lovely body! The perfect body for an aspiring idol!

Personally I love the sculpting and shadows of the area around her knees from this angle! 

The legs aren’t too thin either, they have a nice sensual, touchable feeling about them that creates such lovely curves! (*´Д`*)

Plus this cute idol wink with glossy lips!

▲ Nothing says idol more than a winking expression!

I’m probably focusing too much on the things that stand out to me personally… but this is just one of those figures! It has so much to enjoy that you can’t help but point out the parts that stand out the most to you!!

You can also of course enjoy her from the back which was never even visible on the original illustration!! ♪

▲Cutting things a little close with a bit of a low angle!

The figure also gives amazing detail to areas that you can’t normally see straight from the front!

The creases on the shirt beneath the blue overcoat has been very intricately detailed… as are some other areas that aren’t quite visible in these photos!! Be sure to take a look from all sorts of angles once she joins your collection!!

The pose has her hips twisted a bit, which you can tell by all the creases in the outfit which add a lovely dynamic feeling to the figure! It’s one of those figures that looks good from all sorts of angles, so you’ll have to experiment a bit to find the angle that suits your collection best!

The figure is sculpted by Phat’s iTANDi!

iTANDi is known for sculpts that show off the the character while also bringing out the atmosphere of the series that they come from! Here are some of the figures iTANDi has worked on in the past! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Caster (Fate/EXTRA)

▲ Second Rerelease: 2016/10/11

Fumi Kanno

▲ Releases December 2016

Summer Version Io

▲ Releases January 2017

Megumi Kato (Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/7th scale figure…

Megumi Kato!♡

From the anime series ‘Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the main heroine who doesn’t get noticed much – Megumi Kato! Following on from the previously released Utaha Kasumigaoka and Eriri Spencer Sawamura, this figure is based on an illustration by Kurehito Misaki, the original character designer of the series!

Just like the previous figures, Megumi is posed in the middle of getting dressed with her appearance from the original illustration faithfully preserved with an intricate touch and careful painting. The figure also includes Megumi’s beret, which can be worn or removed whenever you feel like a change! The figure allows you to enjoy all the angles that were never visible on the original illustration, so be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy every inch of the figure as she stands by your side!

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

“Make me a heroine that everyone else envies, okay?”

From the popular anime series ‘Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend’ which has a second season called starting next April comes a figure of the heroine who is better than most at staying under the radar – Megumi Kato is becoming a lovely 1/7th scale figure! ♪

The white one-piece and half-removed red cardigan… feet with her shoes removed and lovely long over-knee socks with cute frills on the top! Not to mention the frilly shirt that makes her look so much sweeter when compared to her normal school uniform!

Plus this innocent expression that looks like she has been taken by surprise!

Isn’t it amazing…! (/ω\)

The blush on her cheeks as well as the pose with her mouth slightly open really makes me want to stand up and protect her from anything that might be out to harm her!!

The gradient used down toward the tips of her hair has also been beautifully applied to match the soft looking sculpt of the hair which all comes together to make her hair look so light and silky!

Let’s take a look from the back! ☆

This angle has the frills of the skirt held down providing a nice clear look at her figure from the back! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

This is actually the third in a series of figures from Saekano that all have the theme of ‘getting dressed‘!  (∩・∀・)∩

– Utaha Kasumigaoka –

▲ Released in November 2015

– Eriri Spencer Sawamura –

▲ Released in May 2016

Just like the past two figures, this figure of Megumi captures that moment that you happened to take a peek at her getting changed!!

Her graceful hands are posed gently undoing the buttons of her one-piece which open up to reveal her shapely breasts and collar bone…

The material of the one-piece that was held tight by the buttons is clearly loosened by the open buttons with a slack appearance and creases that capture the motion of the outfit so amazingly!!! It’s such a pleasure to look at!!

This angle was also never quite visible from the original illustration which makes it all the more enjoyable!! You’ll have to wait till she joins your collection to get an even better view! ♪


▲ This angle makes her look so young and innocent! ♪

Another point to note are her toes!! 

It might be a little hard to tell from the photos, but the area around her toes has an ever so slight skin-color to the paintwork which creates a slightly see-through appearance as the fabric stretches!

That same fabric also has beautiful sculpts and shadows around the knees and the back of the knees that bring out the shape and curves of her legs so brilliantly!  ε=(。・д・。)

▲Just the right amount of sensuality!

Plus you may have also noticed the beret that was lying at her feet in some of the photos above… which can actually be worn on her head as well for a slightly different feel!

The twisted body and the curves that become so much more clear thanks to that twist… looking from this angle shows the chest ribbon undone but doesn’t quite show the chest area… but that just allows you to focus more on the captivating bare skin that peeks out at her upper arm as well as between her dress and socks! (´□`。)

Plus just like the previous figures in the series she also comes with a Original Illustration Postcard (Illustrated by: Kurehito Misaki)

▲ Included no matter where you choose to purchase! ♪

Be sure to add the boring girlfriend to your collection! The 1/7th scale…

Megumi Kato!♡

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Yukino Yukinoshita: Kimono Ver. (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU!)

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe)  from the Corporate Planning Division here!

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

SOUYOKUSHA’s 1/6th Scale Figure:
Yukino Yukinoshita: Kimono Ver.!

Love at first sight! Yukinon dressed in a lovely kimono!

From the popular anime series ‘My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO!’ comes a 1/6th scale figure of Yukino Yukinoshita wearing a kimono! Her long black hair matches with the purple kimono beautifully and her lovely face and curves can be enjoyed from various different angles!

The intricate coloring of the kimono and carefully designed cherry blossom print on her Japanese umbrella all come together to create a stunning figure of Yukinon for fans to add to their collection! Make sure you don’t miss out!

The President of the Service Club is most commonly remembered wearing her school uniform, but now you can enjoy Yukino’s beautiful looks in a lovely kimono together with a Japanese umbrella that gives the figure such a lovely balance! Plus she also comes with a lovely fluffy white base!!

So… beautiful!! (/_;)

She has a rather wistful, listless look to her eyes, but once you look into them you just can’t seem to look away! I hope that same feeling manages you reach everyone through their screens!! I can just imagine how things would end if I met someone like this in the rain…

This is how she looks from the back! ▼

The detail of the cherry blossom pattern on her umbrella looks beautiful, with ever so slightly colored petals creating a treat for the eyes! You can also see her beautiful legs sticking out from the back! If we move in a little closer…

Those creases around her bottom!!

The arms and legs that peek out from the kimono with the fabric falling around them is really something that can only be enjoyed because she is wearing a kimono!!

Also note the dainty little fingers!! ▼

Even the finger nails have been painted with a light pink that brings out her feminine side!

Ah, such a lovely flowing kimono…!

Dressed in a kimono with an umbrella out, falling down to her knees with her legs coming out of the kimono showing a fair amount of skin! How on earth did she get into this situation?! Not that I’m complaining! In fact, I send out my thanks to the sculptor!!

Another bit of lovely detail – the flowers on the sash!

All of the little flowers are so detailed, and even each feature different gradient paintwork!! This is going to be a mission to manufacture!!

Personally I quite enjoyed this angle! A slightly upward gaze that gets you a nice look at her lovely legs!

Will you accept the club president’s service?

SOUYOKUSHA’s 1/6th Scale…
Yukino Yukinoshita: Kimono Ver.

Up for preorder from the 21st September!

You’ll have to wait until next week to preorder her!

Anyway that’s all from me for today! I hope I’ll be able to see you all again…

Ikumi Mito

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe) from the Corporate Planning Division here! Today I’m writing this blog as there was something I just had to show everyone…

The 1/8th Scale Ikumi Mito!

From the anime series ‘Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma: The Second Plate’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the meat cooking specialist, Ikumi Mito! She has been sculpted based on her reaction scene from the Totsuki Tea Ceremony and Cooking Academy’s Autumn Elections curry round, where she prepared a Dongpo Pork Curry Don.

Ikumi is dressed in a military uniform in a confident pose that shows exactly why she is known as the ‘Meat General’! In addition, she also comes with an alternate upper body with her top removed to reveal a swimsuit, showing off her impressive body for fans to enjoy by their side!

Looking good…

Looking good!!

Looking so good!!

She looks amazing no matter what angle you look from!!

The tight-fitting military outfit captures the curves of her glamorous body to a tee! The carefully sculpted creases in the outfit also bring out a lovely sex appeal to her chest, waist, hips and bottom!!

▼This angle makes her look even more beautiful!

One of the most difficult thing to achieve when creating figures is to keep the character looking perfectly natural no matter what angle you look from – just like a real person. Ikumi has really achieved this so perfectly – I cannot find an angle that doesn’t have her looking amazing!

▼A close-up of her boots to prove I wasn’t just taking photos of her body!

High-laced leather boots! A bit of a rugged choice of shoes that suits the ‘Meat General’ theme that brings the figure together so nicely! But then we move into the included interchangeable parts that brings the figure together even more for me!!

An alternate upper body!! Swimsuit Mode!!

The fact that her lower body is still dressed in uniform while the upper body takes such a sexy turn somehow really gets my imagination going…

The expression overflowing with confidence together with her stunning beauty… the way the straps sink into the side of her ample bosom… I can’t help but feel a little envious.

It also seems like her pants are a little loose creating a little gap!! I want to see inside! Let me see inside!! The sensual pose with her hips twisted just adds to the overall appeal too!! I’m so glad that her choice of swimsuit was one with straps like this!! 

(ΦωΦ) Oooh~!

From the back you can see what kind of swimsuit she is wearing below as well!

Be sure to add the ‘Meat General’ to your collection! She comes complete with two different posing options, meaning she has some really impressive volume… in more ways than one! ♥

The 1/8th Scale Ikumi Mito!

AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER NOW!

Orders at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are available until the 28th September 2016 at 21:00JST!

Bismarck Kai

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Bismarck Kai!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the name ship of the Bismarck-class battleships – Bismarck! Her classic pose from the game has been carefully converted into a figure that preserves the feeling of her dashing forward with a lovely dynamic pose.

The powerful ship parts that also boast being the largest of all the German ships in the game have been completely included and feature a heavy appearance through meticulous paintwork. Her hat can be attached and removed for a slightly different appearance, and the ship parts are articulated at various points allowing for all sorts of fun to be had posing even on a scale figure! Be sure to display her with the previously announced Prinz Eugen who is scheduled to be released in January next year!

“Guten Tag. I am the nameship of the Bismarck-class battleships – Bismarck. Don’t forget that name.”

The nameship of the Dutch Bismarck-class Super-dreadnoughts, Bismarck is becoming a scale figure in her upgraded ‘Kai’ form! The black and red color scheme of her Kai version gives her such a stylish appearance that has been preserved on the figure perfectly! The red paint on the top of the turrets and the Balkenkreuz design on her red arm band also stand out really nicely! ♪

But the first thing to note is of course her impressively sized ship parts!! (∩・∀・)∩

This is the kind of firepower that shows what it means to be a super-dreadnought!!


▲ Most of her body is covered up by the ship parts from the back!

The figure is placed in a somewhat forward-bent posture which gives the figure a really impactful dynamic appearance!

Looking at her from the sides gives an even better feeling for the sheer volume of the ship parts!


▲ This angle… so close and yet you can’t quite see too much!

But the size is certainly not the only highlight! The amount of detail on the ship parts is such a pleasure to look at!

Look at the details on the ship deck!

All the little details about the ship have been included on the design, preserving the dignified and beautiful look you’d expect from German-engineering! ヽ(゚∀゚ヽ 三 ノ゚∀゚)ノ

But there is still another aspect to these ship parts that makes them even more amazing! They don’t just look great…

They are also articulated!

They can move in all sorts of different ways too! Each of the turrets on the cannons has it’s own articulation, and all of the cannons can also be rotated to various different angles! This means you can create all sorts of different combat poses for Bismarck!! (●‘∀‘●)ノ”


▲ The possibilities are endless!

In other words, not only do you get to see the usual high quality sculpt and careful attention to textures and detail that comes with a scale figure… you also get to enjoy moving the parts around and creating a little bit of action for Bismarck!! ☆

In addition to all the moving parts, her hat can also be removed for a rather different appearance! The choice is up to you, Admiral! ♪

▲ Without the hat she looks a little big… younger!

Anyway, most of this blog has been focusing on the amazing ship parts… but Bismarck herself also looks amazing, with a body ready to contend with the very best!! (/ω\)

Her bosom boasts an impressive size and yet still has a rather dignified appearance!

Her bare back shows off the bumps of her shoulder blades!

And perhaps my personal favourite…

Her Kneecaps!

It’s not just that the knees have such a nice round, shiny appearance but the fact that you can actually make out the bones of her knee!! That shape you can only really achieve with a bent leg has been captured on the figure so brilliantly, and the long socks that cover up the knee only make it look all the more amazing!!

Be sure to take a nice close look and a nice good feel of all the details once she joins your collection! I personally recommend running your fingers along the perfect curves of her legs!! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Add the powerful super-dreadnought to your collection!
Bismarck Kai!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 13th September 2016!

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

Minako Satake: Poka Poka Service Ver.

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe)  from the Corporate Planning Division here! I think I’m going to be getting into trouble with someone for this blog…!

Today’s Main Feature… |д゚)

Phat!’s 1/8th Scale Figure:

Minako Satake: Poka Poka Service Ver.!

 
“Let me wash your back, Producer! It’ll help you relax after all your hard work!”

From the popular idol production game ‘THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE!!’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Satake Minako based on her ‘Poka Poka Service’ illustration! Her gentle expression and the slightly stimulating atmosphere of the original illustration have been faithfully converted into figure form, capturing all of her charm for fans to enjoy by their side!

My, my… those who know my taste in figures will know why I’m going to be getting in trouble now! How can you not want to do some fan service photos when a figure like this is placed in front of you! Just look those perfect curves!! Let’s take a closer look all around the figure!! (`・ω・´)

This is how she looks from the back! ▼


As you may be able to see, there is another section that can’t quite be completely hidden on the figure… but we’ll take a closer look at that later!

Looking down from a high angle makes her look so beautiful…! ♡

This angle seems to make Minako look a little more mature to me! The cute ribbon tying up her hair in a bundle has also been faithfully included on the figure! ♡

Plus you can also see that the flower pattern on the yukata has been intricately painted on both the back and the front of the figure!

 
The wooden bucket she holds under her arm has such a realistic wooden grain!

I wonder what kind of services she is ready to offer with that bucket…! The purple ribbon tucked under her arms and the creases it forms all over the yukata have been sculpted so beautifully! Not to mention the effect of the shadows painted into the ribbon which really bring it to life!!

Anyway, let’s move onto the main topics shall we!

First up, her lovely legs!!

The luminescent skin on her thighs as they come out from the folded up yukata looks so very soft and smooth!! This area was never visible in the original illustration from the game! It was specially thought out and sculpted just for the figure!!

My personal highlight!▼

 
You can make out exactly what is inside the yukata based on the shapes that show through the material! It’s not just paint either – the lines have been very intricately sculpted onto the figure to the point that you can feel them! Trust me! I confirmed it myself! (‘ω’)

Looking from a lower angle…

Cutting it rather close here!! You’ll have to wait until she joins your collection to see anything more!!!

I’ll just leave you with this! ε=ε=((((((((●ノ・`Д・)ノ

Be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy her ‘Poka Poka’ service! ♪

Minako Satake: Poka Poka Service Ver.

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Anyway that’s all from me for today! I hope I’ll be able to see you all again…

Shishiou

Greetings everyone!
Chan-shuu from Good Smile Company’s planning team here! (@gscs_hirase)

With big Summer event rush is almost coming to a close, and I’m already ready to start saving up for the next set of events! But anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

The 1/8th Scale Shishiou!

From the popular browser and smartphone game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Shishiou based on his standard standing pose from the game.
His powerful yet slim legs, long wavering cape blowing in the wind, the even the nue creature on his back have been faithfully sculpted and painted to create a perfect rendition of Shishiou and all his charms in figure form. Be sure to add him to your collection!

“Just leave it to me, the great Shishiou!”

As with the previous scale figures from Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- the figure is posed in his standard illustration from the game!

▼This is how he looks from the back!

▲ The ‘nue’ has such an incredible presence! 

The nue is one of the most characteristic elements of Shishiou – the mysterious creature that rests on his shoulder with an undeniable presence! You can see from the back that the nue covers up around half of Shishiou’s body – it’s not a small creature! ( ・`ω・´)

▲Such a youthful, confident expression!

Shishiou’s young, innocent look has been preserved so nicely on the figure, with the gentle grin as well as a gleam of light that fills his eyes with confidence all faithfully included on the design! His rather unique hairstyle and the back tie-up of his hair really bring out his stylish side!!

△ This angle just blocks off his eyes, but still shows the lovely grin that shows off his teeth giving him a bit of a mischievous look!

▼Next let’s take a look at his body!

▲Large buttons and an emblem!

Shishiou’s sword crest shines beautifully on his chest, and the four golden buttons on his outfit also really catch the eye! The buttons are not just painted with a flat gold, but in fact have a very slight light-dark gradient to make them look even more shiny!! He really is such a work of art! (;゜∀゜)=3

▲ The red armor on his left arm!

It looks so awesome!! I would seriously try and wear this myself if it actually existed! The slightly more vibrant crimson rope tied around the middle is a similar color to the armor itself yet it still makes such a lovely accent.

▲ Nue & Sword!

A more direct look at the nue’s face! Just seeing this would probably make me run away from the battle before it even began! ((((;゜Д゜))))

Just as you’d expect from a ‘black-laquered’ sword, it has a lovely shiny lacquered appearance and a high-class black color that suits Shishiou so beautifully!

▲ Lovely long legs!

The curves from his thighs down to his toes have such lovely proportions, an the difference between the covered leg and the bare leg make for a lovely point of contrast! Note the ankle of the right foot and then move over to the left and enjoy the amazing sculpt of the creases in the material!!

△ The armor on his right knee is similar in design to the left elbow armor. The various textures you can experience really make the figure such a pleasure to look at!

▲ His cloak blowing in the wind! ♪

The sculpt makes it really look like the wind is gently blowing the cloak up in the air, giving you a little peek at the material on the inside of the cloak! It’s a little hard to tell from this angle, but the yellow rope tied around his hips also makes use of a gradient paint job! The ever so slight gradients give the figure a little extra depth that really helps them to stand out!

Ciel Alencon & Alisa Illinichina Amiella: Bunny Ver.

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe)  from the Corporate Planning Division here! I hope everyone is enjoying their Summer break! A big thanks to everyone who took the time to visit out booth at Comiket 90 last weekend! (*´ω`*)

We also had a nice little Summer holiday here at GSC, but now it’s back to work! There are many more Summer events coming up for everyone to enjoy! Check the Event Information Site for more details!

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

Alisa Illinichina Amiella: Bunny Ver.
Ciel Alencon: Bunny Ver.


FREEing’s bunny girl series, making the Summer even hotter! This time around I’m taking a look at two lovely characters from GOD EATER 2 RAGE BURST!

♥ Ciel Alencon: Bunny Ver. ♥

From the popular game ‘GOD EATER 2 RAGE BURST’ comes a figure of the BLOOD member Ciel Alencon wearing a bunny girl outfit – an outfit that you probably never thought you would see her wearing!

The difference between the usual image of Ciel as a fighter and the look of her in a sexy bunny girl outfit makes for an amazing contrast. The figure makes use of real net tights and the impressive bosom almost bursting from her outfit is ready to grab all the attention in your collection! Be sure to display her with the upcoming Alisa Illinichina Amiella: Bunny Ver. too!

A loving bunny to keep you company after a long day of struggles!


▲ Such a beautiful face! It captures her demeanour so perfectly!! ( ;∀;)

Whenever I see one of FREEing’s bunny girl figures I’m always impressed with the realistic glossy appearance of the outfit!

It’s such a strange thing to think that both her skin and the outfit are made from the exact same material, and the only thing that really differs is the paint! It’s incredible with figure artisans can do!! ( ;∀;)

The shadows formed by the muscles and bones in her back have been sculpted and painted with lovely detail! This angle from the back also makes it that you can tell she is looking your way and yet just can’t quite see her eyes!

The bracelet part on her arm is also included even in her bunny outfit! I think that means that even in this outfit she can still make use of her God Arc! (*Imagination Intensifies*)


The curves of her hips, belly button and down to her thighs!

The tight bunny outfit allows you to make out each and every little bend of her beautiful body! Be sure to take a nice close look and enjoy her to the fullest once she joins your collection!  

♥ Alisa Illinichina Amiella: Bunny Ver.♥

From the popular game ‘GOD EATER 2 RAGE BURST’ comes a figure of the Cradle member Alisa Illinichina Amiella wearing a bunny girl outfit – an outfit that you probably never thought you would see her wearing!

The difference between the usual image of Alisa as a fighter and the look of her in a sexy bunny girl outfit makes for an amazing contrast. The figure makes use of real net tights and is a huge size ready to grab all the attention in your collection! Be sure to display her with the previously announced Ciel Alencon: Bunny Ver.!

A reward for you after the long, hard struggles each day! ♥


Alisa is in a sitting pose! I would be happy to receive this reward!!

I just can’t get enough of that lovely bottom!! I’m sure you all agree! Right?! The way that her hair tries to cover up her bare back but still shows off a little bit of it is such a tempting treat for the eyes! ( ;∀;)

Just like Ciel the bunny suit really shows off her stunning figure – all the way down to the shape and size of her belly button! The cuffs on her wrists also make a lovely set with the bunny suit! (*’ω’*)


I just want to dive in!!
(Did I say that out loud…?)

Her impressive bosom is one thing, but at 1/4th scale size you could probably use her soft looking hips or thighs as a cushion! I’m not sure they would be overly comfortable though!

Also just like Ciel, she comes with her bracelet part sculpted in intricate detail! The tiny little holes of her net tights also makes the ‘Kahotan Blog’ watermark in the bottom right corner rather hard to see! 

Relax after a hard day of battle with bunny girls by your side!

Yotsugi Ononoki DX

Hi everyone! Suwabe (@gsc_suwabe)  from the Corporate Planning Division here! Even though I don’t really intend to, I’m often told I have a smug look on my face…

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






▲ As she has a throne and plushies, I decided to display her on various different chairs and with various other plushies!

The 1/8th Scale…
Yotsugi Ononoki DX!

From the Monogatari Series final season ‘Tsukimonogatari’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the tsukumogami created from a corpse, Yotsugi Ononoki! The figure is based on the cover illustration of the ‘Tsukimonogatari Volume 1 / Yotsugi Doll (Part 1)’ Blu-ray & DVD.

Yotsugi’s cute appearance sitting on a large throne has been faithfully recreated, complete with throne and all! The DX version also includes all the plushie dolls scattered around the bottom of the throne to completely recreate the original illustration! The most intricate of details have all been faithfully converted into figure form for fans to enjoy in their collection!

The silent yet sharp-tongued Ononoki-chan as a 1/8th scale figure! Everything that makes her character has been preserved so well in the figure! The strange thingy on her head, the unique color of her bluish-greenish hair, somewhat expressionless face, eyes with such a lovely gradient, bright orange outfit that is sure to catch the eye, striped knee-high socks and even those yellow wellingtons! Every detail from head to toe has been faithfully recreated! 

Plus as if Ononoki wasn’t cute enough by herself, the huge throne and all the little plushie dolls at her feet just add so much to the figure! The contrast between Ononoki-chan’s rather stiff expression and the cute, fluffy faces on the plushies is such a treat to the eyes! Not to mention the lovely mix of colors between the back of the throne, Ononoki’s outfit and the various plushies! 

I’m sure there are many fans who already got a nice look at the painted prototype that was on display during WonFes, but now she is almost ready for preorders to start! ( `∀`)

I’ve covered most of my highlights on the figure with the rather long text above, so now we’re going to go into photo mode! I hope everyone enjoys!

▼ Let’s first take a look from different angles!

▼ Whether you look from the right…

▼ Or from the left…

 
She always look so adorable!! ( ;∀;)

Looking at, taking photos of and talking about amazing figures like this one is always such a pleasure! (*´ω`*)
While I was taking the photos I talked to so many people that passed by about how cute she was!  (*´ω`*)

I still remember when Ononoki-chan first appeared in the anime (I was still in college at the time!), I had a good, uplifting feeling about her that I could never really explain! To think that she would then come out as this lovely figure for me to review… I think my initial feeling about her was a premonition of this figure coming! Just look at how great she looks!

Before I took photos I tried to figure out where to focus on to show more of the details of the figure, and this is one of the areas that really stood out for me…

▼ The origami in her right hand!

One single folded origami crane lying in the hand of a listless arm. The crane was of course always in the original illustration, but somehow seeing it sculpted into the 3D world really makes it stand out in a special new way! It’s hard to explain exactly why, but it really looks lovely!

▼ Plushie Paradise at her feet!

– Crab –

▲ A two-shot of the crab and star is so cute! Also note the intricate paintwork of the shadows on the throne!

– Snail –

– Monkey –

▲ It looks like he is looking up to the heavens! So cute!!

– Snake –

– Cat –

– Bee –

▲ Even on the back there is such lovely attention to detail! (`・ω・´)

Personally I love the amount of detail that has been put into the various plushies, but for those who think she will take up too much space or perhaps be a little too much over budget, we are also going to be selling a simple version without all the plushies!

Yotsugi Ononoki

From the Monogatari Series final season ‘Tsukimonogatari’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the tsukumogami created from a corpse, Yotsugi Ononoki!

The figure is based on the cover illustration of the ‘Tsukimonogatari Volume 1 / Yotsugi Doll (Part 1)’ Blu-ray & DVD. Yotsugi’s cute appearance sitting on a large throne has been faithfully recreated, complete with throne and all!



Ononoki-chan’s cuteness is exactly the same as the DX version! That said, I would still recommend going for the complete DX version for the complete experience!!

I recommend it with a posed look!!
You won’t regret it!
Yotsugi Ononoki DX
