Scale Figure

1/10th Scale Sakura Miku feat KEI

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I look forward to going out and looking at the cherry blossoms this Spring! I want to do it properly – lay down a vinyl sheet under the blossoms, sit and and relax in a storm of petals while enjoying some delicious dango!

On that note, today I’m going to be introducing a figure just as beautiful as the falling cherry blossoms… ♡

The 1/10 Scale:

Sakura Miku feat. KEI!

The second issue of FIGURE Japan will be focusing on the popular electronic diva – Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku! The included figure is a 1/10th scale ‘Sakura Miku feat KEI’ – a classic figure based on an illustration by KEI, colored a beautiful cherry blossom pink! The cover of the magazine will also feature an illustration by KEI!

Oooh! Spring has sprung! （*´▽｀*）

Sakura Miku previously became a Nendoroid, but now she’ll also be released as a scale figure too!

Spring has already come to my desk! ♪

A lovely gentle smile on her face! ♡

As with the Nendoroid, she features lovely cherry blossom prints along her beautiful long hair!

The cherry hair accessories are also adorable!! (*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ 

Her outfit is also amazingly detailed, down to the creases in her dress!

It also has a pearl coating that gives a nice relaxed feeling… isn’t it lovely…?

Her base is also shaped like a cherry blossom flower! ♪

This figure is included with volume two of Hobby Japan’s magazine, Figure JAPAN!!



What is Figure JAPAN?

Figure Japan is a figure collector’s magazine with each issue focusing on a specific series and including a figure from that series. Each issue will have a figure catalog and a listing of new and upcoming products from the series it is based on, focusing on the figure included with that issue. It’s filled with lovely photos and all sorts of figure-related information, creating the perfect fan book for figure fans!

Figure JAPAN Official Site: http://hobbyjapan.co.jp/figurejapan/

As I’m sure most of you will remember, the first issue of the magazine included this 1/10th scale figure of Ultimate Madoka!

Whilst the contents of the magazine certain do interest me, I don’t have access to them right now… so instead I’ll be taking a close up look at the included figure!

I also think we need to get some inside info… so let’s see who we can summon!

*Planning Team Summon: Hamako!!*

(・∀・) “There is no way I can completely explain the cuteness of this Sakura Miku… but I definitely think the pearl coating is what makes her so very special!”  

(・∀・) “The pearl coating causes all the details on her outfit to stand out even more than before!”

It also seems to have a more dynamic feeling to the standard colors! ε=(｡・д・｡)

(・∀・) “Nendoroid Sakura Miku also made use of a pearl coat so I really wanted to make use of it on the scale figure too… I’m personally quite glad with that decision! It gives her an overall more dynamic and glamorous appearance – and a presence you’d never expect from a 1/10th scale figure!”

The original 1/8th scale Hatsune Miku had a metallic shine to her design, but the pearl effect is definitely a completely different charm! It’s more shiny and definitely suits Sakura Miku nicely.★

(・∀・) “Another point I’d like to point out is her expression!!”

(・∀・) “Miku normally has an energetic, smiling appearance, but Sakura Miku is more of a gentle, kind look… which we wanted to portray through her expression too! After discussing things with the production team we ended up with this – it’s actually rather different when compared to the 1/8th scale Miku’s expression!”

Ah-hah! I knew she seemed different in some way or another! The expression definitely does look a little gentler!

(・∀・) “We also replaced areas that are normally black with a more brown color, and altered the eyebrows to create a more gentle appearance overall!

Not only a lovely cherry blossom color scheme, but a bit of a personality adjustment too! ♡

(・∀・) “It’s definitely not a figure that will lose to her bigger version in any way… except size! The detail is exquisite and anyone who picks her up is sure to be more than satisfied!”

Bring Spring right into your figure collection! ♡

The 1/10 Scale:

Sakura Miku feat. KEI!

This item is available for preorder now at the Hobby Japan Online Shop and the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP! It is included with the Figure JAPAN: Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku Edition. It will also be available at standard hobby shops and book stores across Japan. （*´▽｀*）

1/8th Scale Shimakaze

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can run about 50m in about 11 seconds! Compared to Shimakaze I really am a slowpoke!! (´；ω；｀) Today I’m going to be taking a look at this lovely figure, up for order until the 26th March! The 1/8th scale figure:

Shimakaze! ♥

18th-scale-shimakaze

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a 1/8th scale of the destroyer class ship, Shimakaze! The pose is based on the cover illustration of Febri Vol.19 and features Shimakaze in a rather mischievous pose! 

Shimakaze’s beautiful slender body has been sculpted down to the finest of details, and the three Rensouhou-chan artillery cannons by her side have been faithfully included, each with their very own playful expression!

Oooh!!! （*´▽｀*）

The scale Zekamashi-chan is finally here!!

18th-scale-shimakaze

I just can’t get enough of her expression! It’s like a naughty little giggle inviting everyone in for a closer look!

The beautiful sculpting of the back of her knees makes me want to brush my fingers up and down it all day long! (*´Д`)

18th-scale-shimakaze

Her bottom is of course amazing… but her hips are also not to be missed out on!! The pose is based on the front cover of the magazine Febri Vol.19!

The figure itself is sculpted by Manabu Katou, while the tower of Rensouhou-chan’s are sculpted by the 3D Team’s sculptor, Shinya Iguchi! The combination of the two give a lovely volume to the figure! ♡

Let’s start off with the Rensouhou-chans! (ﾉ｀・∀・)ﾉ

18th-scale-shimakaze

Just the Rensouhou-chans take up a fiar amount of space… they’re piled up quite high!

There’s a big one…

18th-scale-shimakaze

A medium sized one…

18th-scale-shimakaze

And a little one…! ♡

18th-scale-shimakaze

The little one is a little special with a cute sailot’s outfit! ヽ(ｏ´∀｀ｏ)ﾉ

It’s so adorable!!

As I already mentioned, the Rensouhou-chans were sculpted by the 3D team… so I thought I’d have a word with their sculptor… Shinya Iguchi!

(・∀・) “I really wanted to capture both the mecha-artillery feel as well as the cute appereance of the Rensouhou-chans while I was sculpting them!

On first look they just look like cute mascot characters… but on closer inspection you can see the details that have gone into the turrents and torpedo launchers!

18th-scale-shimakaze

(・∀・) “Yep! The expressions capture their cuter side, while on the other hand their power as weapons are preserved on the design!”

The contrast is rather interesting – you get the best of both worlds! Σ(・Д・」)

18th-scale-shimakaze

(・∀・) “It honestly wasn’t an easy task, but I did my best to impress the fans! Obviously Shimakaze is the main attraction, but the Rensouhou-chans are definitely a lot of fun to display too!”

After all, it wouldn’t be Zekamashi-chan iithout Rensouhou-chan!(｀・ω・´)

But anyway, let’s get back to Shimakaze!

18th-scale-shimakaze

This time around we’ll chat with Shimakaze’s sculptor, Manabu Katou!

(・∀・) “I’m sure you already guessed this… but my highlight is without a doubt her bottom!

18th-scale-shimakaze

It’s certainly not something anyone would overlook!
Nomnomnom! ♡ ﾟ｡*(*´∀｀*)*｡ﾟ+

18th-scale-shimakaze

(・∀・) “Also note how the g-string is being pulled into her skin, making it sink in a little!

18th-scale-shimakaze

The original illustration on the Febri cover only featured her down to her knees… how did you do the rest of the sculpt?

(・∀・) “Based on other images, I simply thought up how it would have looked if the illustration has gone all the way down to her feet!”

I see! So that’s why she has crossed legs! Her stomach area was also never shown in the illustration but the figure makes it look lovely… that ever so slight bump when looking from this angle is amazing! (ﾉ)´∀｀(ヾ)

18th-scale-shimakaze

(・∀・) “Yep! Seen she was leaning over I wanted to add a bit of gravity to the sculpt… I really ended up spending a really lon time on getting that stomach right!”

The squishy feeling it gives makes me want to touch it so badly! How could anyone resist?! （*´▽｀*）

(・∀・) “Of course fans of the original illustration are sure to love posing her at the same angle… but the thing with this figure is that there are so many great angles to display her from, you might have some trouble choosing which is best! Low and high angles also both suit her so well!”

18th-scale-shimakaze

Filled with details and highlights! ♡

The 1/8th Scale…

Shimakaze!!

18th-scale-shimakaze

She is up for preorder over at the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP until the 26th March at 21:00JST! Orders from the online shop will also include a special ‘Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Rensouhou-chan Sailor Ver.’! ☆

FREEing’s Kaworu Nagisa!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have a rather shy personality, so I often tend to put up my personal AT Field to prevent others getting too close! Particularly when I’m at the hairdresser… I never know what to say when they try and start a conversation! I also can never explain how I want my hair done…! ><

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at FREEing’s 1/8th scale…

Kaworu Nagisa! ♪

From the third movie in the Rebuild of Evangelion series, “Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo” comes a figure of EVA Unit-13’s pilot, Kaworu Nagisa.

The mysterious charm of the beautiful Kaworu has been captured by sculptor ‘Hiroshi’ – even preserving the delicate atmosphere that accompanies Kaworu’s character. Everything from his stunning body-line to his gentle eyes have been carefully sculpted for Evangelion and Kaworu fans to enjoy for years to come!

Ooooohh!! （*´▽｀*）

His deep gaze is looking me straight in the eyes, and his lovely body’s curves are brought out perfectly by the tight plugsuit!

Plus just as the product description states, the figure even preserves the delicate atmosphere of Kaworu’s character! Even just having him on my desk seems to make my day a little less stressful!

He has a slightly downward gaze, so looking from a slightly lower angle allows you to stare into his eyes… it also brings out his mysterious character really well! Personally however, I want to draw everyone’s attention to his amazing hipbone!

Just look at the way the bump of the bone can be seen right through his plugsuit! I can touch Kaworu’s hipbone!! ( ,,´･ω･)ﾉ”　ｻﾜｻﾜ

Talking about his hips, I also have to point out the reverse side!

Just look at how the tight suit brings out the shape perfectly!! He definitely does have a more manly bottom compared to most female figures! (ΦωΦ)

Looking at him from an overall perspective gives me the idea that it can’t be easy to sculpt thin, male characters like this! (゜д゜；)

He is sculpted by Hiroshi (Sakurazensen), the same sculptor who made the amazing Kaname Madoka ~The Beginning Story / The Everlasting~ and many other lovely figures. He really has captured the mystique and unique aesthetics of Kaoru’s body perfectly! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The 1/8th scale…
Kaworu Nagisa!


He is currently up for preorder!! You can order him from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP until the 12th March at 21:00JST! Don’t miss out! (｀・ω・´）

Frau Koujiro

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

When it comes to Pocky, I like the super thin kind! They make much more sense because you can choose to much on a whole bunch together if you want a thicker version, but if you just want to nibble slowly on them then they last way longer! I suddenly have a strange urge to eat some Pocky…!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a closer look at the 1/8th scale…

Frau Koujiro!! ♡

From the popular scientific adventure game and anime series ‘Robotics;Notes’ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Frau Koujiro, the genius programmer who loves to speak in internet slang. The figure is based on the cover of the 1st volume of the ‘ROBOTICS;NOTES REVIVAL LEGACY’ manga.

She is posed gazing ahead while holding onto a figure of her beloved Gunvarrel, with her characteristic hairstyle and uniform both sculpted in careful detail. She is seated on her favorite sofa while surrounded by Pocki packages, which all come together to create a figure that brings out her character perfectly!

She’s here!! （*´▽｀*）♥

I’m sure many of you had been waiting for her ever since her prototype announcement during last year’s WonFes… and then again when the painted version was shown at this year’s WonFes!

She is based on the cover illustration of the 1st volume of the ‘ROBOTICS;NOTES Revival Legacy’ manga! ♡

The creases on her outfit and the flow of her hair are really beautiful, and bring out the Tatsuya Shihira’s illustrative style perfectly! Another area I have to point out immediately are those lovely juicy thighs!! ＜●＞＜●＞

Oooh!! (*´Д`)

So close and yet so far! But even without being able to see inside the pose is still amazingly sexy! By the way, the Gunvarrel she’s holding was actually made by using 3D data from another in-progress product, the ‘Full Action Gunvarrel’ (provisional name). The combination of the soft skin and mechanical robot also make for lovely contrast!

The skin you can see from in-between the gaps of her uniform… simply lovely! ♥
The sinking appearance of her legs into the stool is also amazing!


(I just realized I’ve only been taking pictures of her legs… Σ(OωO )!)

But that reminds me!
The original cover only actually showed up to her thighs!!

Where did the idea to pose her with sagging socks and candy boxes come from?

(・∀・) “Allow me to answer that!”

We’re joined by the figure’s head planner, Chanshuu-senpai!

(・∀・) “The candy boxes littering the floor are Frau’s favorite snack, ‘Pocki’!”

(・∀・) “We wanted to add something more to bring out Frau’s character, and this seemed like a great way to do so!”

By the way, each of the Pocki boxes are separate from the figure and can be placed wherever you like, or not used at all!

I’m fairly sure Frau would have them scattered around like above, but it’s compeltely up to you how you want to display them. A total of 10 boxes are planned to be included with the figure! ♪

(・∀・) “As you’ve already mentioned, we really paid special attention to small details – the edges of the skirt and sailor uniform are particularly detailed! Be sure to take a nice close look!”

And what about the loose socks? What inspired them?

(・∀・) “That was just one of my personal fetishes!”

…
…… Σ(OωO)

(・∀・) “Just kidding, that’s only half true. As I said before we wanted to bring out Frau’s character, and figured that while she was sitting playing with Gunvarrel she needed a more innocent look to her… which is where we decided on the loose socks!”

Let me take some photos by the window for a quick change of scenery!

I must admit that the scattered candy boxes, socks and Frau’s lovely expression really do show off her personality perfectly! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

(・∀・) “I’m fairly confident that anyone who loves those loose socks even half as much as I do will really adore this figure!”

(・∀・) “I also want to say a very big thanks to the sculptor that created the figure exactly as I desired planned – Ajiken-san! Thank you very much! It’s a figure filled with love that I know fans of Frau and the series will love!”

Bring Frau home with you to enjoy all for yourself! The 1/8th Scale…

Frau Koujiro!!

She is up for preorder as of today! Orders from the GSC online shop will be running until the 19th March at 21:00JST, so don’t miss out!

Gift’s Sena Kashiwazaki: Swimsuit Ver.

Today’s blog will be focusing on…!

*Stare* ＜●＞＜●＞

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I see a lot of cute figures in swimsuits, but personally I’ve never really been related to the ocean and swimming myself. The cold snowy days are set to continue a little longer here in Japan…

However! Hopefully this figure will allow some fans to picture the upcoming Summer! Today I’m going to be taking a look at the…

1/4th Scale Sena Kashiwazaki: Swimsuit Ver.! ♡

From the popular romantic comedy series ‘Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT’ comes a figure of Sena Kashiwazaki wearing her swimsuit! The sexy swimsuit together with a huge 1/4th scale sculpt (approximately 370mm in height) makes for a figure with an amazing presence! Her undeniably beautiful body are ready to charm fans all over the world!

Oooohhh!!! (*´Д｀)=з

From ‘Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT’ comes a huge 1/4th scale figure of one of the main heroines and member of the Neighbor’s Club – Niku! Sena! The huge size combined with the sexy swimsuit really makes for a great rendition of her- just compare the size to my laptop and you’ll realize what an amazing presence she has!! (((゜д゜;)))

Her beautiful blond hair and ample bust… such a scrumptious body! Plus just look at that cute little belly button! *nomnomnom*

As if her amazing boobies weren’t big enough already… she’s posed holding them up with crossed arms to emphasize them even more!

An unbelievably seductive pose! ☆

She has both a bold and innocent air about her that surely captures anyone’s eyes… and heart! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

Plus the detail put into the sculpting of her feet is simply amazing!
ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Just looking at those cute toes make me want to brush my fingers over them… and the light pink manicure is so adorable! (*´Д`)ﾊｧﾊｧ

But enough about the legs… there is a far more important feature!

Just look at that gap! The gap between her bottom and her hips!! Whilst it is an impressive sight… she also looks great from a lower angle in my opinion! ♡

Another thing which really impresses me on this figure is the way the material looks and creases just like a real swim suit!

Even in her swimsuit she still has her trademark butterfly hair accessory and even with a rather mature body, her rather childish personality is preserved in her expression. I also have to mention the little moe-fang you cna see at the back of her sexy open mouth!! What a figure filled with highlights! ♡

Keep Sena’s amazing body by your side at all times…
Dressed up in her swimsuit just for you!! ♡

The 1/4th scale figure…
Sena Kashiwazaki: Swimsuit Ver.

She’s up for preorder from today!

You can order her from the Good Smile Online Shop until 21:00JST on the 12th March 2014! (｀・ω・´)ﾉｼ

Hatsune Miku (Senbonzakura)

“Daitan-futeki ni haikara kakumei~ ♪”


Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The first word of this song, ‘Daitan-futeki’ means ‘audatious’… definitely a word I’m not very familiar with… How many of you were able to identify today’s figure just from the back or from the song lyrics? Today I’m going to be taking a look at one of FREEing’s upcoming products, the 1/8th scale…

Hatsune Miku (Senbonzakura)! ♡


From the popular Hatsune Miku song by Kurousa-P, ‘Senbonzakura’ comes a figure of Hatsune Miku in her unique outfit from the song! The figure is based on Itto Maru’s original illustration featuring Miku looking over her shoulder with her hand pointing in the shape of a gun, as if firing behind her.

All the details of her pose and design have been faithfully recreated, making sure Miku is ready to shoot right into the heart of her fans! The spirit of the song is already retained in the figure beautifully, but Rin and Len are also in production to display with her soon, allowing you to bring out the Senbonzakura atmosphere even more!

Oooohhh!! （*´▽｀*）♡

The long awaited figure from the Senbonzakura song is finally being officially announced! The long wait since her revealing at Summer WonFes 2013 is finally over… and it was definitely worth it!

Her long winding twintails are sculpted so beautifully, and the sleeves match them so beautifully! The green and purple go together so nicely!♪

Just like the song itself, the sculpt and paintwork give off a very nostalgic feeling! The dark sea-green color of her hair is very reminiscent of classic Japanese times. Her twintails actually have a slight gradient as well – they are ever so slightly lighter as you move to the tips! (｡・д・｡)

Let’s take a closer look at her back!

The traditional kanji for ‘one’ on her back looks great, and this angle gives a nice look at both her twintails and the back of her knees! ( -ﾉｪ-)

I also took great care to cover it up with her twintails… but I have to say that her skirt is rather short!!

Her pleated skirt also looks great, and also has the wind blowing across it! The overall dynamic feeling of the ‘wind’ on this figure is simply amazing! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Her rather unique shoes – a cross between high-laced boots and geta – are also amazingly detailed!

Personally though, I’ve really fallen in love with her knees… that little bump just makes me want to gently rub my finger down her legs… I can’t be the only one!

There is another part of her that I’d love to touch though…!
Right here! ＜●＞＜●＞!!!

Yep! That sexy tummy sticking out from her outfit!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Her build as well as the soft looking skin make for a really appealing body! The combination of the soft looking skin and suspenders also make for some interesting contrast!

Let’s take a look from a lower angle… (/ω・＼) *peek*

Lovely! Just Lovely!! ♪

By the way, her hat can also be attached and removed, allowing you to enjoy Miku with a slightly different atmosphere as well! (*´Д｀)=з

Being able to swap parts out for different looks definitely makes figures feel even more worth it! Become immersed in the Senbonzakura song by keeping this audacious Miku from FREEing by your side!

The 1/8th scale:
Hatsune Miku (Senbonzakura)!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow, the 28th January!

Rerelease Announcement! 1/8th Scale Shinobu Oshino!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

When I was really young, I used to get taken to places in the basket of a bicycle… but the one doing the pedaling wasn’t my older brother but my father! On that note, today I’m going to be taking a look at a figure that has been announced for rerelease – the 1/8th scale…

Shinobu Oshino!


 

From the popular anime series ‘Bakemonogatari’ comes a rerelease of the 1/8th scale Shinobu Oshino – the vampire responsible for biting Araragi. The pose is based on the package illustration of the sixth volume of the Blu-Ray & DVD cover.

She is posed seated on a mountain of doughnuts and various other trademark items from all the other characters in the series. She has a cute expression across her face as she stares ahead with a doughnut in her mouth. The whole figure is filled with highlights for fans of the series!

Shinobu-chan is back once again!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Shinobu-chan was much more popular then expected causing stock all over to run out! We apologise for the inconvenience! There aren’t even many left in the office, but I managed to borrow one from the few remaining in the storage house! (｀・ω・´；)

The moe fang you can just see over the donut is so adorable! (*´Д`)

I would be happy to become her donut and be bitten by that tooth!!!

But while Shinobu-chan herself is adorable, I also want to draw everyone’s attention to the items of the various other characters lying in the pile of donuts she uses as a base! ♡

Each of the items is very reminiscent of each character’s story… and is each sculpted with it’s own special detail!

This is how she looks from the back! (｀・ω・´)

Shinobu’s hairstyle has also been sculpted straight on the mark! っ(o・ω・o)
Plus the dark shadow it casts across her pale skin makes for lovely contrast! ♥

Ah… and as I’m sure everyone has noticed… the helmet she received from Meme can be removed! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Plus that’s not all – Shinobu can also be removed from the stand and placed sitting elsewhere!

Tada! (｀・ω・´)

The donut in her mouth can also be attached and removed as you see fit!

By removing the helmet and donut you get a much closer look at her innocent loli expression! ★

Whilst her face, body and even one-piece dress are certainly filled with a youthful charm… the fact that the shoulder strap on her one side has slipped off also gives her a slight sexy charm too! The contrast just adds to her charm! *nom nom nom* Delicious!

Her bottom area is also flat, allowing you to easily pose her sitting at the edge of a desk or shelf with her legs handing off the edge! ( -ﾉｪ-)ｺｯｿﾘ

Speaking of her legs…
Just look at those dainy little feet! Each and every toe looks so lovely! (ΦωΦ)

Bare feet really are a sight to behold! Simply pick the combination of parts you like and enjoy the adorable Shinobu’s company all day long! ♡

I decided to pose her with a teacup! I love my teacups… (；´∀｀）

I’m sure there is something close close to you that she’d look lovely displayed with too! The beautiful 1/8th scale vampire girl…

Oshino Shinobu!

Orders for her rerelease will be available from tomorrow from the Good Smile Online Shop!

Now a little bonus for those who read to the bottom of today’s article! The other day at the GSC-Tetsujin Cafe in Akihabara a new prototype when on display! She’s not painted yet, but…

Nendoroid Nadeko Sengoku!! ♡

Bother her hat and the coat over her shoulders have been faithfully included on the Nendoroid! ♪

The way the coat is sculpted makes it look like it’s blowing sin the wind ever so slightly… and even in small Nendoroid size the detail is amazing!

This is how she looks from the back!

I can’t wait to see the painted version!! （*´▽｀*）

As soon as I get some new info I’ll be sure to let everyone know! Don’t forget that the ‘Monogatari’ Series Cafe: Second Season is currently going on at the GSC-Tetsujin Cafe and will run until the 29th of January… don’t miss out! ♥

You can reserve seats here: http://www.gstjcafe.jp/reserve/

1/7th Scale Benten

This silhouette!!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve always been a fan of characters with a ‘woman’s touch’, so today I’m going to be taking a look at another one of Max Factory’s upcoming figures…

The 1/7th Scale ‘Benten’! ♡

From the popular manga serialized in ‘Monthly ASUKA’ magazine, ‘ZONE-00’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the male character with a woman’s touch – Benten! The figure is based on a beautiful illustration by Kiyo Kyuujyuu – and has been faithfully recreated in all aspects! He is sure to capture the attention of whoever looks his way, and fans can enjoy keeping him by their side at all times!

Aahhhhh!!!!! (*´Д`)

Apologies for the long wait everyone!!

The lovely Benten is finally here! His pretty wings are opened out beautifully and long golden locks are all carefully positioned to create an amazingly dynamic pose!

It was a rather bold pose to undertake sculpting, but the details and design have been preserved beautifully! （*´▽｀*）

Just look at the sculpt of each of the wings, or the details on the ornaments that spiral around his legs!

The way his outfit is gently flowing around him is also stunning… it’s really a figure that you can see has had an amazing amount of attention put into it… not to mention you can really feel the love the sculptors have for the series! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Just looking at him makes me feel all relaxed inside!!

The sculptor behind this figure is the same sculptor who brought us the 1/7th Scale Aoba – Nanako-san!♡


The amazing pose and feeling of Aoba floating through the air made this figure astounding itself… but the fact that motif items of each of the other characters in the game were included around him really made it a special figure to me!

But Benten is no exception… the detail is so astounding that the more I look at him the more I want to look!!


I grabbed this photo as the sunlight was lighting up his wings for me!

The wings are semi-transparent, so shining light on them looks really beautiful! I really love this figure so I’m going to be taking a look from every angle possible – starting with a closer look at the base! ♡

Benten stands on a log which is sitting in some rippling water! The lighting here makes the water look a bit dark, but it’s actually a rather deep green, transparent color!

Moving up just a little… look at those beautiful legs!!

Beautiful Legs!!

BEAUTIFUL LEGS!!!

Benten-sama is best know for his lovely legs after all!

I hope I captured his legs in enough angles to show you just how amazing they are…! ♪

Just to once again reiterate… as I’m sure many people unfamiliar with the character may not know…


Benten-sama is 100% male! (ﾟＡﾟ;)

I think that’s exactly what makes him all the more fascinating!!

That sideways glance and puckered lips… how could anyone not feel charmed by him!! (*´Д`)

(・∀・) “We really tried out best to bring out the charm of Kyuujyuu-sensei’s illustration in figure form!”

From Max Factory’s planning team… Kaneko Nitohei!

What inspired you to make a figure of Benten-sama?

(・∀・) “Nanako, the sculptor, was a big fan of the manga and made a figure as part of a Max Factory internal competition… anyone could see just how much love had been poured into it!”

(・∀・) “After the competition, we wondered if it would be possible to actually release as a product and got in contact with Kyuujyuu-sensei!”

I see! An interesting turn of events! φ(．． ) *memo*


(・∀・) “Kyuujyuu-sensei illustrated a special Benten specially to be made into a figure… and Nanako was more than happy to sculpt it! It really us a figure sculpted with love!”

Looking at the illustration you can see just how faithfully the figure is sculpted! (*´Д｀)=з

(・∀・) “I know fans of Benten will enjoy this figure, but I think it’s also impressive enough to be bought by figure fans that don’t even know the series. You won’t be disappointed!”

You really do need to see the detail of the sculpt for yourself! It’s astounding!


He looks lovely with a Skytree backdrop!

(・∀・) “We also got in contact with the publishers of Monthly ASUKA magazine, and they agreed to publish this Benten on the back cover of the issue releasing on the 24th January!”

Ooh! What lovely news! ♪
I don’t suppose you have any other good news?

(・∀・) “Well… how about… how about including an extra with the figure?!

O-Ooh?! What will it be? (ﾟ∀ﾟ*)

(・∀・) “Details will be up on the GSC Website next week!”

Be sure to pick him up and stare all day long!♥

The 1/7th Scale ‘Benten’! ♡

He’ll be up for preorder on the 23rd January!

Hopefully more details about the bonus will also be available then! (/ω・＼)

Max Factory has really been putting some effort into male figures recently!

1/7th Scale Cerberus!

“Can you believe it? Woof! Woof! He’s dragged her down here from above. Woof! Woof! I won’t allow it, no matter how pretty she is!”


Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I spent my whole long weekend shut in my room! It’s definitely the best way to relax for me! Anyway, today it’s back to work… and today I’ll be starting the week off with an amazing item from Max Factory…

1/7th Scale Cerberus!

From the popular social game ‘Rage of Bahamut’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the popular Demon-type character, Cerberus! The figure is based on the Legendary Card ‘[Tricepticanus Magica] Cerberus’ illustrated by popular illustrator Mushimaro, and the unique atmosphere created by the card has been faithfully converted into figure form!

Cerberus’ innocent expression and beautiful body are ready to charm anyone who comes her way, and her unique purple outfit as well as the golden ornaments that adorn it have been sculpted with the finest of detail. The gradient of her hair and skirt have also been fine-tuned to create a figure that fans will be proud to own.

Sexy!! （*´▽｀*）


From the popular social game ‘Rage of Bahamut’ comes a figure of the ultimate mixture of mature sexiness and innocent cuteness!

Her tight fitting shiny metallic outfit contrasts with her silky smooth skin to wonderful effect! ♡

From behind you get a good look at her shoulder blades, as well as the long flowing part of her outfit you find below them!

The two flowing pieces of fabric together with her twin tails both give the figure an amazingly dynamic appearance! ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

The two doggies in her hands are also amazingly detailed!

The hair looks so soft and fluffy!!
I can’t fight the urge to try and ruffle it up! ε=(｡・д・｡)

The bizarre contrast of the cute little dogs with the sexy outfit is somehow super appealing to me!! (｀・ω・´)

I’m sure everyone has also noticed the sexy little belly button by now – not to mention the ribs you can just make out beneath her armor!

The curves down from her hips to her bottom is also fantastic! ＜●＞＜●＞

Looking at a slight angle really brings out the naughty look on her face!
It’s so cute!! (*´Д`)

Max Factory really never let me down!! Every single part of this figure is so detailed you almost can’t help but stare! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The generous amount of skin she is showing off is lovely… but the outfit is also so amazing! It’s simply filled with amazing sculptwork!

(・∀・) “It’s not just the sculpting! We also focused a lot on the colors and paintwork!”

Today we’re joined by Max Factory’s Kaneko Nitohei!

(・∀・) “The metallic look of the outfit as well as the overall use of color was closely supervised by the illustrator, Mushimaro! We redid things over and over until we were all satisfied with the result.”

Ooh, I see! The use of gradients on the back of her outfit and hair is also such a lovely blend of colors!

(・∀・) “Personally I’d like to point out this area on her legs!”


(・∀・) “The purple at the knee changes over to a different, darker purple from the calves and down! This area isn’t even visible on the original cards, but with help from the illustrator we kept everything just the way is should be!”

The golden lining on her feet also matches up with the rest of the design beautifully, giving her a really beautiful appearance!

(・∀・) “There is also a Rage of Bahamut Anime coming soon, so I hope everyone will keep their eyes out on both that and the figures!”

Amazing use of color, beautiful sculpting with a blend of cute and sexy…

1/7th Scale Cerberus!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

1/10th Scale Ultimate Madoka included with ‘Figure JAPAN: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Edition’!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

This morning I went to the convenience store and as I was ready to pay I realized I had forgotten my wallet! Fortunately I had my PASMO card one me so I was able to pay with that! Phew…!

Anyway, today I found Hamako (dealing with a bit of a cold) sitting reading something by the office entrance!

She is reading none other than the first issue of Figure JAPAN released by Hobby Japan! The first issue focuses on Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie, and includes a 1/10th scale figure of Ultimate Madoka!

Figure Japan is a figure collector’s magazine with each issue focusing on a specific anime series and including a figure from that series. Each issue will have a complete figure catalog and a listing of new and upcoming products from the series it is based on, focusing on the figure included with that issue. It’s filled with lovely photos and all sorts of figure-related information, creating the perfect fan book for figure fans!
The first issue will be focusing on the popular series with a new movie coming this Fall, ‘Puella Magi Madoka Magica’!
The included figure this time around is a GSC 1/10th scale Ultimate Madoka!

◆ Figure JAPAN Site: http://hobbyjapan.co.jp/figurejapan/

The very first issue of Hobby Japan’s newest specialist magazine, aimed at figure lovers! Each issue even comes with a figure, with this issue including 1/10th Ultimate Madoka! ♡

I had a quick read though the magazine as well – the entire magazine is full color and it’s packed with lovely photos! It also includes an interview with Madoka’s voice actor, Aoi Yuuki! It was a lovely read!! Another page features the GSC staff talking about the included figure!! （*´▽｀*）

This is how the 1/10th Scale Ultimate Madoka looks! ♡

The magic circle base is half transparent, looking just as lovely as ever!

Her lovely gentle design looks great from the back too! ♪

And just look at that angelic smile!!! （*´▽｀*）

The Figure JAPAN Special Webpage also includes details and photos of the included figure, so be sure to take a look through them as well: Figure JAPAN Special Webpage!

Here’s a comparison shot with figma Ultimate Madoka!!

A figma is around 1/12th scale, so she’s a little bit smaller!

Add in the 1/8th scale and you get a complete selection of sizes! ★

A selection of angels all lined up! What a heavenly sight! With all of them watching over me I know ‘there is nothing to be afraid of anymore’!

I want to display them all at the entrance to my home as a kind of protective charm! (｀・ω・´)

A 1/10th scale figure and magazine filled with interviews, photos, and more! ♪

Figure JAPAN: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Edition

On sale from tomorrow, the 20th December!
