PRODUCT DETAILS

Please note that these products generally will only be available on the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP and will not be available in stores once they go on sale. (/ω\)

If you want to be sure to get one, don’t forget to preorder!

Anyway, let’s take a look at these 4 items.

Nendoroid Shielder/Mash Kyrielight Casual Ver.

From the popular smartphone game “Fate/Grand Order” comes a Nendoroid of the reliable Mash Kyrielight wearing her casual outfit! She comes with both a slightly worried looking embarrassed expression as well as a cheerful smiling expression. Optional parts include an alternate lower body part to display her sitting, the mascot character Fou-kun as well as picnic parts based on the “Chaldea Lunchtime” craft essence.

In addition, her third face plate is an expression based on the illustrations from the official “”Learning with Manga! FGO”” manga series, and she also comes with an alternate front hair part to fully match the design from the manga! Three Saint Quartz stones for Summoning are also included to display with her! Be sure to add the more casual version of Mash to your collection!

“Huh?! Don’t Worry. I wasn’t playing with the important resource. Nope.”

PRODUCT DETAILS

The inside packaging looks like this. ε-(o´ω`o)

By the way, the included picnic sheet (paper material) comes inside the package, taped to the cardboard on the inside, like this:

She also comes with a face plate based on the illustrations from the official “Learning with Manga! FGO” manga series with an alternate front hair part to fully match the design from the manga! Mix and match to make your favorite version of Mash! ♪


figma Shielder/Mash Kyrielight Casual Ver.

From the popular game “Fate/Grand Order” comes a figma of the Shielder demi-servant, Mash Kyrielight, wearing a more casual outfit!

  • Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
  • A flexible plastic is used in specific areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
  • She comes with three face plates including a gentle smile, an energetic smile as well as a pouting expression.
  • Optional parts include the chocolate she gives to the main character as well as her partner, Fou-san!
  • An articulated figma stand is included, which allows for various action poses.

“I’ll do my best to support you, Senpai!”

PRODUCT DETAILS

The inside packaging looks like this. (●‘∀‘●)ノ”


*More hand parts are included other than those pictured

Since her glasses are directly attached to the hair part, there is no included hair part without glasses, but… you can make use of the hair part from the standard figma Shielder/Mash Kyrielight (sold seperately) and enjoy it that way! (`・ω・´)ゞ

A special support arm for her partner, Fou-kun, is included, so you can add the support arm to her stand and pose them together! ★

 

Nendoroid Ram & Rem: Childhood Ver.

From the anime series “Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-” comes Nendoroids of the twin sisters Ram and Rem from their childhood years. The iconic outfits from their childhood have been faithfully captured in Nendoroid size, and they each come with two face plates. Ram comes with a smiling expression and a serious expression while Rem comes with a smiling expression and a downcast expression.

Optional parts include holding hand parts as well as baskets together with fruits and plants to display them collecting ingredients. An alternate maid front hair part for each of them is also included allowing you to combine them with the previously released Nendoroid Ram and Nendoroid Rem in order to display the younger version of the twins in maid outfits! Be sure to add the adorable young twins to your collection!

Nendoroids of the twin sisters in their younger years!

PRODUCT DETAILS

Before we get to the inside of the package, the packaging comes with this special feature! (♡ >ω< ♡)

As you can see, the inside packaging comes seperated like this!

If you’re wondering why two different front hair parts come with each Nendoroid, it’s because the second hair part can be displayed with the already released Nendoroid Ram and Nendoroid Rem. (゚∀゚ヽ 三 ノ゚∀゚)ノ


You can display the younger version of the twins in their maid outfits!

Holding hands parts are also included! ★

▲They just make you feel all warm inside. (*ˊᵕˋ*)

Take another look here in the package!!

Be sure to not overlook this little horn part! ◎

In the bag with the stand base and support arm, there’s a little sticker included so you can…

attach the horn to the front hair part! (*´∀`)ノ

Various other small parts are included, so have fun mixing and matching them with the twins in their childhood years! ♥

 

figma Hero

From the popular JRPG “Persona 5” comes a figure of the main character wearing his school uniform!

  • A flexible plastic is used in specific areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
  • He comes with three plates including a blank expression, a smiling expression and an expression deep in thought.
  • All face plates can also be used on the previously announced figma Joker.
  • Optional parts include his school bag, cellphone, glasses and alternate front hair parts to display him wearing his glasses.

figma Snow Miku: Crane Priestess Ver. (Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Another snow forecast has come for Tokyo! It’s so cold outside that I’m really not surprised! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a figure that would look great with the snow…
figma Snow Miku: Crane Priestess Ver.

2018 marks the 9th anniversary of Snow Miku, and the 2018 design was once again selected by fans through online votes between a selection of outfits all submitted to piapro by fans! This year the theme was “Animals of Winter Hokkaido”, and the winning Snow Miku design was this version based on a red-crowned crane illustrated by Taichadon! The illustration has now been converted into this figma together with Rabbit Yukine who even holds a Shinto staff!

  • She comes with three expressions including a calm standard face, a gentle smiling face as well as a face with closed eyes as if in prayer.
  • Various items that match the priestess theme are included: a kagura bell, a folding fan, a Shinto staff and a tamagushi.
  • Her hood can be removed allowing for an different appearance.
  • An alternate lower body part and alternate coat part are included to display her kneeling.
  • An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

The 2018 Priestess Snow Miku joins the figma series, dancing with the snow!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Let’s start with a look at the packaging!

The top features a lovely deep blue which gives the overall package a very relaxed color scheme!ヽ(*´∀`)ノ

I personally also really love this year’s Snow Miku logo!

▲ The figma number has a “EX” which is used for event products! ♪

The package may look rather slim at first glance, but the blister pack on the inside has two layers for a rather impressive amount of parts!

▲ The alternate hands and figma base are in a separate bag

There are all sorts of interesting items to play around with, but the one that caught my eye first was this one!

Kneeling Parts!! ヽ(゚∀゚ヽ 三 ノ゚∀゚)ノ

The area from the chest downward are replaced to display her in this lovely elegant kneeling pose, and alternate parts for her outfit are also included in order to really complete the pose!

Another part for the back part of her outfit is also included! Quite a few parts to switch out, but it makes for such a lovely pose! (。・ω・)ノ゙

From the back you can see the underside of her socks!

The important thing to note here is you can see they way she is curling her toes around!!! Such intricate little details in such minor areas is really what makes the figma series so amazing!! (´□`。)

Her entire outfit is all based on the Japanese crane, and the points of articulation on the sleeves while she is kneeling have been very carefully thought out…


You can easily pose the sleeves in a very neat pattern to match the kneeling pose, but the amount of articulation also allows for various other potential posing options! ♪

Anyway, moving onto her optional parts, she comes with a kagura bell, a folding fan and a tamagushi.

But that’s not all, she also comes with a Shinto staff that matches up with the one that Rabbit Yukine is holding! ♪

Simply select the parts that best suit your pose! ε-(o´ω`o)

By the way, I am often displaying Rabbit Yukine balanced on Snow Miku’s hands or head, but he does come with his own little stand as well! Be sure to add the lovely priestess Miku and her adorable companion to your collection!

figma Bride & figma Groom

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The figma series celebrated it’s 10th anniversary on the 31st January 2018!
Congratulations!!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at these two items that are to be released as a part of the 10th anniversary celebrations! They will first be available at the upcoming Wonder Festival event!

figma Bride & figma Groom!

Married happily ever after in figma size!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them!
figma Bride

The figma series is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and to celebrate we have made a special figma dressed up in a wedding dress!

  • She comes with two face plates including a smiling face and a face with closed eyes.
  • A variety of optional hand parts as well as a bouquet are also included.
  • The figure is standard figma size, allowing you to switch head parts with other characters and create an original figma bride!
  • An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

PRODUCT DETAILS

figma Groom

The figma series is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and to celebrate we have made a special figma dressed up in a tuxedo for a figma wedding!

  • He comes with two face plates including a smiling face and a face with closed eyes.
  • A variety of optional hand parts as well as a wedding ring are also included.
  • The figure is standard figma size, allowing you to switch head parts with other characters and create an original figma groom!
  • An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Here is the inner packaging of each of the figures! Both are rather simple, but more than enough to create a lovely wedding! (∩・∀・)∩

The alternate hand parts include a shining ring on the ring finger! ♥


▲ These are figma Bride’s hands, but the Groom has similar parts!

Although it was quite difficult to see in the packaging above, they also each come with simple optional parts – the bride comes with a bouquet…

While the groom comes with a ring in a box! (*´ェ`*)

They also each come with an alternate expression with closed eyes.

▲ This allows for slightly different options while posing!

In addition, the dress part of the figma Bride can also be removed…

Allowing you to pose her just wearing her wedding garter! (/ω\)

▲ This posing gives the bride a much more playful look!

Of course, perhaps the main reason this product exists is that you can also of course swap out the head parts of other figma figures, allowing you to create a wedding between your favorite characters with ease!!

For example, here we have figma Venus de Milo and figma The Thinker: Plaster ver. tying the knot!★

Here we have figma Shigure Kai-II dressed up for her wedding! 

It suits her so well!!

You can even switch expressions to recreate all sorts of scenes at the wedding! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

▼ These poses were so fun to photograph! ▲

figma Shigure Kai-II is currently up for preorder at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP! Preorders are open until the 1st March 2018 at 12:00JST and will even come with a bonus winking expression! Make sure you don’t miss out! ★

Back to the two wedding figmas – you can see they can be great fun as is, but even more fun when combined with the figmas of your favorite characters!

Add the Bride and Groom to your collection!

Nendoroid and figma Snow Miku 2018!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the designs for the Nendoroid and figma of the the 2018 Snow Miku! The theme this time around was “Winter and Animals of Hokkaido”! We received a huge number of entries, but the eventual winner was none other than this lovely design!

Thanks to everyone who voted during the live broadcast or online!!

Let’s see how the design looks when transformed into Nendoroid and figma size! (∩・∀・)∩

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Crane Priestess Ver.!

Snow Miku is all dressed up in a priestess outfit! She looks so majestic and proud while still remaining so very cute!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

She also comes with a variety of parts that are all amazing detailed, including the kagura bell and fan above!

The hood can also be removed as you can see in the photo below! ♪

figma Snow Miku: Crane Priestess ver.!

The Snow Miku priestess, dancing in the snow as a figma!

Just imagine all the elegant poses you can form with this figma! The expression on her face has a lovely gentle feel to it, but also adds a bit of a mysterious air…

▲ The designs on the sleeves and the gradient on her legs have been carefully included!

Aren’t they beautiful?!

Both will also comes with lots more optional parts as well as alternate expressions, but you’ll have to wait and see what those are! (*´ェ`*)

The reason these have been revealed is that they are currently on display at the Snow Miku Streetcar 2018 Private Viewing! ♪

The project planner for Miku, Hamako (@gsc_hama) was away on a trip to Shanghai so Akane Eiseihei (@akane_mxf ) and myself came down to Hokkaido to see the streetcar and take some photos for today’s blog! (`・ω・´)ゞ

▲ The various Miku photos and illustrations on the streetcar!

The design not only features photos of both the Nendoroid and figma, but also includes the 2018 Snow Miku main illustration drawn by Yasumo-san! ♪

▲She has a more grown-up look compared to the normal Miku!

The overall design has an elegant yet cute look with a bit of a Japanese-style design to match this year’s Snow Miku! ♡

▲The stylish colors with golden highlights make for a lovely design!

The inside was also filled with Miku-san! ヽ(゚∀゚ヽ 三 ノ゚∀゚)ノ

Even Snow Mikudayo- came to take a look!☆

I even managed to capture her amazing movements on camera! ♥

This streetcar will actually be used in Sapporo, Hokkaido from the 27th November 2017 through to the 27th March 2018! Be sure to take a ride or even just a look if you are in the area!! ε-(o´ω`o)
