Hatsune Miku: Lat-type Ver. back in an Autumn themed outfit!

I never thought I’d be lucky enough to cross paths with another beautiful Lat-san glasses Miku! The argyle pattern and orange hems of her knee-high socks really bring out the Autumn theme!  °・(ノД｀)・°・

The fresh design was decided on with both Lat-san and the head planner, Hamako! It also has a more matte finish which adds an autumn texture as well! ♡

Even the stand has been altered for the new design!
The Autumn leaves have fallen to the ground beneath her! ♪

No matter where you look, you can see exactly why this is an ideal product for the Autumn Kuji!

Even her hair and accessories have had their colors adjusted!

Her hair is a lighter mint green instead of the normal turquoise green! It also uses semi-transparent parts giving the whole figure a lighter appearance! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The wallet chain and skirt have also been recoloured and repatterned! ★

The color scheme is also very fitting for the Halloween months as well! It has a very fresh feeling to it! Her glasses have also switched to an orange frame, and just like before they can of course be removed whenever you like!

They’re rather delicate and small parts, so the box includes a spare pair as well!

Just like the original Hatsune Miku: Lat-type Ver. she also comes with two different microphones to choose from! ♪

Here we have the two different versions together! ♪

I wish everyone luck in drawing that A Prize!
Give her lots of love if you win her! ♡

Eren Yeager

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

There are always new sweets and candy that release in Autumn, and I’m looking forward to trying all of them! It’s the season where chocolate and cream-type ice cream seem to be where my eyes go first! ♪

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

The 1/8th Scale:

Eren Yeager!

From the popular anime ‘Attack on Titan’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the main character, Eren Yeager. The figure is based on the cover illustration of the first volume of the anime’s Blu-ray/DVD, which features Eren ready to cut down on a Titan in a powerful, confident pose.

He looks great displayed alone, but even more epic when displayed with the previously announced 1/8th scale Mikasa Ackerman, so be sure to display them together!

Ooooooohhhh!!! ヽ(ｏ´∀｀ｏ)ﾉ

With the upcoming movie version of ‘Attack on Titan’ coming this autumn it’s a great time to see the titan-exterminating main character Eren! Just like Mikasa Ackerman, he has been sculpted based on the cover of the Blu-ray & DVD jacket! ♪

The amazing dynamic pose with gritted teeth and furrowed brows really brings out Eren’s determination!

If you look up from a low angle you can stare right into his confident eyes! Just like Mikasa, his Vertical Manoeuvring Equipment has been sculpted in unbelievable detail!!

The mechanical parts around his hips are so intricate, and still have wear and tear added carefully into the design! The mechanical parts on his back contrast with the flowing jacket beautifully!

I could stare at this back for ages!!

But the area I really want to personally push…

…is his neck!!

The tight, sinewy muscles that you will only ever see on a male figure! They look amazing!! Speaking of attention to detail, be sure to also take a look at the included base! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The base is made to look like a chimney from the series, and even the inside has been carefully detailed! The old, deteriorated look with bricks showing recreate the setting of the series!

Not to mention that even the soles of his shoes have kept their pattern! (｀・ω・´)

I really love the way that his vertical manoeuvring equipment has been made to look ‘used’!

It makes the figure and series seem all the more realistic! There is no way the equipment should be all shiny and new after what it has been through!

Another area that I don’t want to see go unnoticed would be here! ★

To be more specific, his thighs which has held tight by a number of belts!

Just look how they are squeezing on his skin!!

The whole figure really gives you a feel for him making use of all the muscles in his body to amazing effect! The belts also add a soft, touchable feeling to his skin though!

The contrast between the solid equipment, belts and boots and the softer looking shirt and jacket is emphasized by the sculpting and paintwork to create a figure that looks so very real that he really seems to be right there with you!

Eren right on his way to starting the extermination of the Titans…!

The 1/8th Scale:

Eren Yeager!

He is already up for preorder!

Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.: Part 2

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I feel like sushi today! The reason for that is that today is Mikudayo’s birthday! Everyone knows that Mikudayo loves sushi! However, all I have is a tuna mayo onigiri, so I will munch on that instead while thinking of sushi and Mikudayo!

Anyway, today I’ll be taking a closer look at…

The 1/8th Scale:
Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.!♥

From the Hatsune Miku song that featured in a Google Chrome commercial, ‘Tell Your World’, comes a scale figure of Hatsune Miku based on the song’s album jacket illustration.  

The colorful design of Miku made in collaboration between Fantasista Utamaro and mebae has been carefully transformed into a figure, keeping all the finest of details and feminine air of Miku as faithfully as possible.

 

 

Up for preorder as of today! ♪

I know I can’t be the only one falling for this coy Miku!

mebae’s delicate illustration transformed into a meticulous figure that captures the heart of the illustration perfectly!

Sculpted by Iwanaga Sakurako (Shokubutu Shojo-en), the same amazing sculptor behind works of art such as Deep Sea Girl, Aircraft Carrier Wo-Class and even the upcoming Satsuki Kiryuin!

This Miku looks so very gentle and ladylike, with beautiful slender legs, a dynamically sculpted skirt and hair and a hint of mystery! Taking a closer look at all the smaller elements of her design will make you realise just how incredible the sculptwork is! (*´Д`)

Yesterday’s blog took a quick 360 degree look at her, so be sure to check that as well! ⇒ Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver. Part 1

She is frozen in time at the perfect second her skirt is fluttering up around her!

It’s hard to believe the skirt is made from plastic! (； ･`ω･´)

I really thought that if I kept staring for long enough the skirt would flop down… it’s amazing to see motion and texture captured so realistically on a static pose!

The ever so slight peek at her stomach is also a lovely touch!

(・∀・) “Also note the detailed movements of her twin-tails!”

We’re joined by the planner for the figure, Hamako!!

(・∀・)”Miku is well-known for her bold twin-tails, which are sculpted spinning out in all sorts of directions to add to the dynamic feeling of the figure! Careful attention was also given to the use of depth to closer recreate the feeling of the original illustration!”

The hair wound around her right finger comes from the left side of her hair! I could never quite tell on the illustration, but the figure let’s you see everything from whatever angle you please! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

(・∀・) “The degree of accuracy of the hair is just lovely – just look at the way it curls around her arm and twirls around her finger! It looks so soft!

There is even some winding around her legs!! （*´▽｀*）

Speaking of her legs… just look how nice and juicy they look as the knee-highs squish her skin down! …Delicious!!

(・∀・)” Yep! At first glance Miku is very slender, but she actually has some rather sexy curves to her body as well!”

This angle gives you a good look at her arm and fingers! The upper arm looks so delicate and smooth!

You can also just see her thighs sticking out inbetween the knee-highs and skirt, and the overall posture of the figure gives her an effeminate charm! (´□｀｡)

(・∀・)”Another thing that I personally love is her expression!”

(・∀・) “Her eyes just seem to suck you inside… wrapped with a mysterious atmosphere that leaves you wondering what she is thinking! It really captures the feeling of mebae’s illustration so very well!”

To me her eyes have a very strong will attached to them – true determination! But at the same time they have a mature feeling to them. At the same time, the opened mouth with a gentle finger touched to it has a rather innocent charm to it… the mixed signals all in one expression just make her all the more charming! ( -ﾉｪ-)

(・∀・) “The figure was also checked directly by the original illustrator, mebae… who was very happy with the way she came out!”

Oooh! Even the original illustrator was happy with the figure! Yay! ♪

(・∀・) “There is so much to enjoy on the figure… her lovely expressions, dynamic sculpting of the twin tails and skirt, a bright and colorful outfit and careful work to bring it all together as best as possible! I know Miku fans will love how she has come out!”

Filled with great detail – get ready to tell her all about your world!

Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.」

Available for preorder as of today! ♪

Product Page: Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.

(・∀・) “There is also a bonus from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP! All preorders there will receive this original A3 tapestry!!”

Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver. Part 1

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Whenever Monday is a public holiday I lose always lose track of what day of the week it is! There are a few public holidays this month, so I keep needing to adjust my pace to match…! (； ･`ω･´)

Anyway, today I’ll be taking a look at a product up tomorrow…

The 1/8th Scale:
Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.!

From the Hatsune Miku song that featured in a Google Chrome commercial, ‘Tell Your World’, comes a scale figure of Hatsune Miku based on the song’s album jacket illustration.

The colorful design of Miku made in collaboration between Fantasista Utamaro and mebae has been carefully transformed into a figure, keeping all the finest of details and feminine air of Miku as faithfully as possible.

 

 

Ooooooohhh!!! （*´▽｀*）

It’s been a while since her debut at WonFes, but she is finally ready for preorders!

The beautiful sculpting work is by none other than Iwanaga Sakurako (Shokubutu Shojo-en) – the same sculptor behind a number of amazing figures including the Aircraft Carrier Wo-Class! ♥

She looks just like mebae’s original illustration! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at her from eight different directions so everyone can see every side of the figure! In tomorrow’s blog I’ll take a more in-depth look at her!

Let’s get started! (｀・ω・´)

– 1 –

– 2 –


– 3 –

– 5 –

– 6 –

Ahhh… (。´Д` )

The complex sculpting of her hair as it flows around her together with the skirt swirling around her… and those unbelievably beautiful fingertips!

It’s hard to put into words, but the ‘translucent’ feeling the figure gives off is amazing! Her eyes seem to be drifting off far into the distance, creating a mysterious yet compelling pose as she gently twirls her finger through her hair, innocently pulling it toward her mouth…

“Tell me about your very own world…”

Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Plus orders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a lovely Original A3 Tapestry as a bonus! ♪

Houki Shinonono: Kitsune Miko Ver.

Today I’ll be looking at…

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
I’ve always loved miko priestess outfits! I still regret not working part-time as a miko while I was living in Kyoto! Anyway, today I’ll be taking a look at FREEing’s…

Houki Shinonono: Kitsune Miko Ver.
 

 

From the popular anime series IS (Infinite Stratos) comes a figure of Houki Shinonono, Ichika’s first childhood friend and main heroine of the series! She is dressed up in a Miko priestess outfit with lovely vibrant red color, and she is also wearing fox ears and a tail! She has a bit of an embarrassed expression on her face which only brings out her charm even more.
The figure is an impressive 1/4th scale and matches up perfectly with the other characters from the same series – be sure to display them all together and recreate your very own Infinite Stratos harem!

Miko Priestess Outfit!! （*´▽｀*）

That’s not all! It’s the complete outfit from the episode ‘Lovely Style’, which also featured fox ears and a tail! She’s finally here to join all the others in their similar outfits!

The embarrassed expression is lovely!! ♡

Plus don’t forget that this series is a huge 1/4th scale!!
Even from the side she has an amazing presence! (； ･`ω･´)

Her twisted hips, long legs wearing geta sandals, large ribbon on her front and even the double pony-tail have all been sculpted beautifully! (｀・ω・´)

The way the front is opened up also suits Houki-chan perfectly!

She is so very cute and sexy! ♡

The opening shows off Houki’s magnificent female form!

The sculpting of her outfit also really makes it look like real fabric, and the shading done to create shadows on the outfit looks incredibly convincing! <◯><◯>

The frilly white ends of the skirt also look lovely! ♪

Anyway, let’s move over to the back!

As you can see, her beautiful long double ponytails reach all the way down to the ground!

The way she is wearing the outfit also means her back is quite revealed up at the top, showing off her shoulder blades! Not to mention that even from this angle you can see the top of her impressive bust!

Delicious!! But let’s move on and take a look at her cute expression!

A slightly embarrassed smile and super fluffy looking fox ears! ☆

The large bell on the collar around her neck matches the rest of the outfit nicely!

Plus the unique bends of her legs allow for one of those angles that just doesn’t let you see deeper into the skirt! ( -ﾉｪ-)
Even though they’re mostly covered, even her delicate fingers have been carefully sculpted!

The cute little painted nails are just peeking out the sleeves!

And if you look from the underside…

The standby form of Akatsubaki is worn on her wrist! ε=(｡・д・｡)

If she was just on display normally you’d probably never notice… but even the details of covered up items are nice and detailed! ♪

You can really see FREEing’s love for Infinite Stratos!♥

Once again… I have to show off her back!

I want to run up behind her and feel her fluffy tail!!

A long fluffy tail, long windy ponytails and a beautiful miko outfit!

Houki Shinonono: Kitsune Miko Ver.

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♡

You can find the other IS characters in the same 1/4th scale series here:
Cecilia Alcott: Bunny Ver.
 Charlotte Dunois: Poodle Ver.
 Laura Bodewig: Bunny Ver.
 Tatenashi Sarashiki: Cat Ver.
 Huang Lingyin: Cat Ver.



Displayed all together they look like this! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

What a beautiful atmosphere!! ♡♥

Be sure to create your very own Infinite Harem! ♪

Charlotte Dunois: Swimsuit Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

As soon as I start thinking things have cooled down, a late heat wave often comes by and ruins my day. Although now that I think about it my Summer this year did not involve a single pool or ocean… maybe next year…

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a product announced last week! ♪

The 1/7th Scale:
Charlotte Dunois: Swimsuit Ver.! ♪

From the anime series IS (Infinite Stratos) comes a 1/7th scale figure of one of the heroines, Charlotte Dunois! Enjoy her bashful smile and cute swimsuit whenever you need some company!

Ooooohhh!!! （*´▽｀*）

A rather reserved personality, but a very sexy body!! ♪

Charlotte-chan is here to join your collection in her swimsuit!! The slightly embarrassed smile on her face is just perfect!! (*´Д`)♡

Let’s zoom out a little so you can see her whole body!

She is clearly playing with her fingers to hide her embarrassment… which triggers some kind of desire inside me to want to preserve her cute smile!! (ﾟＡﾟ;)ｺﾞｸﾘ

However the position of her hands also cause her arms to create a kind of frame for her chest… Delicious!! ♥

Her crossed legs also add a little to the subtle shy appearance, while also having a rather sexy appeal! They are sculpted in detail down to the very tips of the toes!

She is actually posed standing on tiptoes! ♥︎
Perhaps more importantly… bare feet are so beautiful!!!

Anyway…

Let’s take a look from the back too! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ
From the back you get a better look at her beautiful slender body!

Personally I find the sculpting and shading of the back of her knees absolutely stunning! ♫

Let’s try a lower angle! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

You can see her cute belly button nicely from down here!!

The fabric-like look of her pareo is very nicely done!
(It’s also an incredible angle to make you what is underneath that pareo!)

A close look at her fingers and bracelet also shows a nice level of detail! (´□｀｡)

Another thing I really love is the dent between her hipbone and stomach! Every single curve and proportion on her body gives her the perfect female figure!

Switching things up, let’s go from a high angle!

The braided hair at her side has been very intricately made!

This angle also shows off the unevenness caused by her shoulder blades! ♪

Don’t you just wish you could run your finger along those bumps?! ( – ｪ-)

The necklace made in the image of Rafale-Revive Custom II also matches her swimsuit nicely!

…although looking at the necklace makes my eyes wander downward…
That soft-looking chest is too hard to not notice!

You can also make out the shape of her rib cage just below them!

The swimsuit is rather revealing, meaning the sculpting is focused on the body and all the intricate curves that come with bare skin! It’s such a wonder to stare at…! (｀・ω・´)

A bashful smile and cute swimsuit all to yourself! ♥

The 1/7th Scale:
Charlotte Dunois: Swimsuit Ver.

She is up for preorder right now!

Prisma Illya (Anime ver.)

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I really have no idea what clothes to wear at the moment… In the morning I think it’s going to be cool so I put an extra layer of clothes on… only to find that it’s super hot inside the offices… ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at Phat! Company’s:

1/8th Scale:

Prisma Illya (Anime ver.)!

From the spin-off manga of ‘Fate/stay night’ with its second anime season currently airing, ‘Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of the main character Illya based on the designs from the anime series!

Everything about her magical girl outfit has been faithfully included on the figure, down to the Class Card holder at her hips! A special base is also included allowing you to display her jumping through the air – a dynamic pose that fans of the series are sure to enjoy!

Illya-chan!! ♡♥

A figure of the adorable fifth year primary school student who was tricked into becoming a magic girl by the Kaleidostick, Magical Ruby! Her lovely pink and white magical girl outfit has been beautifully sculpted!

Let’s see how she looks from the back! (*´Д｀)=з

Both her long hair and outfit are sculpting floating up in the air for a lovely jumping pose that puts Illya in mid motion! ♪

The outfit is considered by Illya herself to be rather embarrassing, but it really does suit her so nicely! Let’s take a close-up look!

ヾ(･ω･。)　Frilly!♥　(｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
(｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ　Frilly!♡　ヾ(･ω･。)
ヾ( ｡･ω･。)ﾉﾞ　Frilly!! ♥　ヾ(｡･ω･。)ﾉﾞ

Whenever I see this many frills I just want to do a little dance!

Each and every one of the frills is so carefully made, and the Class Card holder also looks great!

The magical staff ‘Magical Ruby’, which was responsible for transforming Illya into this adorable form, is also included – held in her left hand! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

The light pink wing accessories in her hair are also very cute!

The light colors all over the figure bring out Illya’s magical girl form perfectly. You’ll notice that all the different parts of her outfit actually have a slight light-dark gradient on them which adds a soft and gentle feeling to her!

I also personally love this angle! ＜◯＞＜◯＞

From this angle you can see her open back and shoulder blades!!
Her thin build and touchable looking skin shows off the power of youth!!

The arm lifted up over her head also means that you get a nice clean look at the immaculate curve of her armpit!! The ever so slight bumps of her bosom and soft looking thighs are also all visible from this angle!!

Absolutely delicious!! （*´▽｀*）

By the way, some of you may remember that Phat! also released a similar product in May this year: Prisma Illya (Manga ver.)!

The outfit and the hair style are rather different, but they can be posed together for a great effect! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

But anyway, my review today is for the anime version so let me get back to that! (｀・ω・´)

I can just hear her lovely voice… (*´Д`)
I feel all relaxed inside looking at this smile… ♡

Although the outfit as a whole is adorable, attention to the smaller details such as the hemming of her skirt, the tips of her fingers and even her knee-high socks are all amazing! The little bit of skin you can see between her socks and skirt is also priceless!! (｀・ω・´)

Another thing to note is that although you can see a prop holding the figure up on the right leg, this is only for the prototype! According to the figure’s planner, uchitaro, the final product will be supported in much harder to see ways. You’ll be able to enjoy Illya without the prop getting in the way! ( -ﾉｪ-)

Filled with energy, cuteness and a smile to brighten your day! ♪

FREEing’s 1/4th Scale I-168

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Wearing short sleeves is already rather chilly! I’m sure it wasn’t getting this cold at this time last year… I’ve only eaten shaved ice once this year!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a figure currently up for preorder from FREEing:

The 1/4th Scale:

I-168! ♪


From the popular naval simulation game ‘Kantai Collection – KanColle-‘ comes a 1/4th scale figure of I-168, also known as ‘Imuya’! Her uniform can be removed and she also comes with an alternate expression, allowing you to choose between her half-damaged and standard versions!

At an impressive 1/4th scale, fans can enjoy all the details of the cute Imuya to their heart’s content – but details have also been put into other areas of the figure such as the ship parts she holds in her hands, as well as the huge tube she sits on, specially made from a soft material.

Ooooooooohhhh!! (*´Д`)

Imuya, the Sniper of the Seas is visiting my desk! ♪

She is wearing the classic sailor’s uniform over swimsuit that is loved by Admirals all over!

You can even tell the difference between the texture of the uniform and swimsuit!

The creases in her outfit around her arms and stomach help give the uniform a tight-fitting appearance! (*´Д｀)=з

The original illustration from the game has Imuya looking over her shoulder meaning that the front of her was left to the imagination… but the figure allows Admirals to enjoy her from any angle they please!

Now for a quick size comparison!
The torpedoes and tube compared with my iPhone! (｀・ω・´)ゞ
1/4th scale really is quite impressive!

Plus even though the torpedoes are normally covered up by Imuya and the tube, they are still nicely detailed with a lovely gradient paintwork! (´□｀｡)

The squishy appearance of the tube is also lovely!
Although from this angle…
…the soft skin looks even more squishy than the tube!

Even her fingers and fingernails use a different paint to bring out an even more realistic appearance!


The hand holding a ship looks like so! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

I love the way she is holding the boat with her index finger pointing outward! It’s strangely cute! ♪ Her long ponytail and ahoge also faithfully represent the original illustration!

From the twists and curls in her hair down to the ribbons tied near the ends – everything has been faithfully included! Her kind of surprised, but still confident looking expression also looks fantastic! ♥

If you look closely at her hair you’ll even notice the tips have a light blue gradient at the very edges! (｀・ω・´)

Looking from this side angle also gives a nice look at her sexy back, hips and bottom that curve in a beautiful S-shape! ( -ﾉｪ-)

But… there is still more! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

You can also display her in the half-damage pose!!

The sailor uniform can be removed to reveal her torn-up swimsuit!

Not only that, but she also comes with an alternate expression part to switch to for a completely different feeling! Even the tears in her swimsuit are faithful to the game’s design!

The little peek you get of her shoulder blades is lovely, but I adore the way that parts of the swimsuit are bunched up even more!

The fact that the swimsuit also has that ‘shiny’ appearance through the paintwork is a nice touch!

Not to mention that if you look from the front you can make out the shape of her belly button perfectly!! ( OωO)ﾉ

We might never know the true size of Imuya’s breasts seen she is always facing away, but FREEing has given her a nice moderate size that I agree suits her very nicely!

Enjoy both the standard and half-damage I-168 in 1/4th scale! ♡

I-168

She is currently up for preorder!

Orders at theGOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP close later today, so don’t miss out! (｀・ω・´)
Orders Close 21:00JST on the 3rd September!

Yamato Kai: Heavy Armament Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m still rather confused at how quickly the weather has changed here in Japan! It feels like Autumn already – I think the aircon in the trains has been turned down a little too! (´=ω=｀)

Anyway, today I’ll be taking a look at a product that went up for preorder today… Max Factory’s:
Yamato Kai: Heavy Armament Ver.! ♥

The second in Good Smile Company’s ‘Wonderful Hobby Selection’ series of top-notch figures is Max Factory’s 1/8th scale figure of the Yamato-class Battleship, “Yamato Kai: Heavy Armament Ver.” from the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-.

The Heavy version features all of Yamato Kai’s impressive cannons – three 46cm three-barreled cannons, two smaller 15.5cm three-barreled cannons and 6 even smaller 12.7cm two-barrel cannons – all made to scale for a complete and faithful rendition of the original Yamato Kai illustration. The 46cm turrets are even articulated, and a special base made in the image of water with cherry blossom petals scattered across it is also included. Enjoy the company of the beautiful battleship Yamato as she floats peacefully in the water.

They’re so…. big!! (I mean the turrets, of course)

If case you missed yesterday’s blog, I took a look at Yamato Kai: Light Armament Ver.! This Heavy version comes with some extra parts – her huge ship parts that really bring out the KanColle atmosphere. as well as a special rippling base made in the image of water!

A perfect rendition of the original illustration! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

Taking a look from the back shows just how huge and powerful Yamato’s ship parts look! （*´▽｀*）

So huge that you can’t really see Yamato’s lovely thighs!

If you’re looking for a closer look at Yamato herself be sure to take a look at
yesterday’s blog, as today I’m going to be focusing on the extra parts that come with the Heavy Armament Ver.! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ


This is my personal favorite angle! ♥
The way she is sitting is just so cute, and the base makes it look even better! (*´Д`)

Anyway, let’s take a closer look at the ship parts!

Even the smallest of the turrets is beautifully sculpted!


At first glance all that really registers is the impressive size… but when you take a closer look you can see just how much work has been put into the figure!

Some of the turrets are even articulated allowing for slightly different nuances! ー+ﾟ｡*(*´∀｀*)*｡ﾟ+


As usual with KanColle girls… the contrast of their soft pale skin and the heavy mechanical look of the ship parts is simply fantastic…! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Then we come to the base!


The beautiful rippling sculptwork together with the semi-transparent appearance all make for a beautiful and unique base! You can just make out her legs beneath the water!

That also means that you can also choose to display her without the water parts if you choose! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

“But hold on a second… won’t the hair be floating in the wrong position if the water isn’t there?!”

＼ That’s right! ／
ヾ(｀д･´(｀･д･´)ﾉ｀･д´)ﾉﾞ


However! The figure’s planner Kaneko Nitohei has already attended to that problem! The figure comes with two separate hair parts – one for use with the water base and another for use without it!

The additional ship parts can also be removed, which means that the figure allows for three different combinations:
· Yamato + Ship Parts + Water Base
・Yamato + Ship Parts
・Yamato

You can even switch between them once in awhile for a change! (｀・ω・´) ♪

This is also the second product to be a part of the WONDERFUL HOBBY SELECTION series of products! For anyone who missed out on my explanation last time…

What is the WONDERFUL HOBBY SELECTION?

　The WONDERFUL HOBBY SELECTION is a brand new series of products brought to you by Good Smile Company, focusing mainly on figures. These products will be absolute top-of-the-line products – with meticulous sculptwork, high quality artistic work and top-notch quality to live up to the needs of collector’s looking for the best of the best to add to their collection.

Look forward to future releases of the series in the future!

By the way, the image above is one of Yamato’s release images, and you’ll notice a bunch of cherry blossom petals scattered along the surface of the water. There are also included with the product! (The exact number and material are still under consideration).

You can scatter them on the water, over the ship parts or anywhere else for a bit of interesting decoration!

Includes huge ship parts and a beautiful water base! ♥

Yamato Kai: Heavy Armament Ver.

She is up for preorder as of today! (・ω・´)

Yamato Kai: Light Armament Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

It’s started to cool down a bit now… I was complaining about the heat before but now I’m starting to feel a little down that Summer has come to an end… However! Simply by eating some ice-cream I jump right back into Summer mode!! (｀・ω・´)

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a Max Factory product that will be up for preorder tomorrow…

Yamato Kai: Light Armament Ver. ♡

From the browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a figure of the Yamato-class Battleship, ‘Yamato’ is a lightly armed version. Unequipped with her large ship parts, Yamato is much more affordable, allowing fans to add her to their collection without too much of a hit to their wallets! Even without the ship parts, Yamato’s amazing body is still a treat for fans. Her beautiful, dignified appearance is ready to be enjoyed by all!

Oooooooohhhh!! （*´▽｀*）

She looks so very elegant… and what a gentle smile! The sitting pose is also a lovely change!

Let’s take a look at the whole figure from the front! ♪

The umbrella she holds is in the image of her mast! Taking a photo from this angle shows her slight upward gaze as she daintily sits upon her stand!

She’s an angel!! (*´Д`)♡

I-I couldn’t help myself! She’s too cute to be anything else! ♪

I think the thing about this figure is that it combines an amazing body with that slightly embarrassed look… it’s such an unfair combination! The sleeveless sailor outfit and miniskirt are also an unfair combination! But I don’t care! I love her anyway! *nomnom*

Anyway, let’s calm down and move on…

This is how she looks from the back!


From here you get a nice look at her long, winding ponytail!
Don’t you wish you could run your fingers through it!

The hair is sculpted all the way down to the very tips on the ground by her legs!

I want to twirl it around my fingers so badly but I can’t!!!!

The sculptor behind this figure is Max Factory’s Shining Wizard @ Sawatika, the same sculptor behind Asuna ~Captured Titania~ which also has such amazing long hair! His sculptwork always makes me wish the figures had real hair…! <◯><◯>

Another part that is exquisitely detailed is the radar part adorned with cherry blossoms! ε=(｡・д・｡)

You can also see the umbrella even has the white line painted inside!

Her dainty little fingers also have a light pink nail polish! ♥

The armor-piercing caps of the ‘weapons’ on her chest have also been faithfully sculpted! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

If you look close you’ll also be able to spot exactly where her belly button is!

However as some of you may have already noticed…. the large ship parts that normally surround the battleship are currently missing! These are not included on the Light Armament Ver.!

The large ship parts are included with a with the Heavy Armament Ver., which will be released at the same time!

That said, being able to actually see Yamato’s amazing curves without the ship parts is quite a nice change! She’s beautiful!! (´□｀｡)

Areas like this would be harder to see with the turrets attached…! ♪

Had you ever noticed that Yamato was wearing string panties… tied up with an anchor! ♥
She may be lightly armed, but the quality and detail on the figure are still impeccable! (*´Д｀)=з

Her thighs and weapons along her legs are also great! The soft skin compared with the shiny metal is always such amazing contrast!

Simple… yet simply beautiful with an adorable smile and outfit!

Yamato Kai: Light Armament Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder tomorrow!!

The larger Heavy Armament Ver. will also be up for order tomorrow as a part of the new series I introduced yesterday, the WONDERFUL HOBBY SELECTION!

I’ll be taking a closer look at her tomorrow!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ
