Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I will be munching on Pocky all day! It’s 11/11! Pocky day!! (*･∀･)っ─━

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

Nendoroid Lingyin Huang!♪

Oooooooohhhh!!! (´∀｀。)

The second childhood friend: Rin-chan!! ♥︎

A cute wink, twin-tails and that moe fang… everything cute about Rin-chan has been put together in a cute little Nendoroid package! (´□｀｡)

The large yellow ribbons tying up her hair are also beautifully sculpted!

The twin-tails are fitted with joints allowing for all sorts of poses! ♪

Which means you can pose her with the wind blowing through her hair as she runs along… just like in the ending theme! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

By the way, Suzu-chan is the third Nendoroid from Infinite Stratos, following on from the previously released Nendoroid Houki Shinonono and Nendoroid Cecilia Alcott!! I wonder if this means we can expect the other girls as well…?

Anyway, let’s enjoy Suzu-chan for the moment! The expression she is using above is her grinning expression which looks great in all sorts of situations… including this one! 

The slight red in her cheeks gives her a slightly embarrassed look that is so adorable! (/ω＼)♥︎

She also comes with a lovely little  sweet-and-sour pork lunch box!
Look at the detail inside!!

The way the sauce is dripping from the piece she is holding makes it look so very delicious!

It reminds me of a certain confession scene from the series! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

She also comes with sitting parts that let her sit down and enjoy lunch time! But she also comes with one more expression! <○><○>

Along with her winking expression and this grinning expression, she also has one more rather important charm to her!  <○><○>

An embarrassed expression for when she just can’t be honest with herself! 

Red cheeks and an upward gaze! ♡♡

She looks so unsure! I wish I could run up and give her a hug!! The way her mouth is slightly open is also rather adorable! ♪

The combination with these fidgeting hands makes for such a cute pose!

There is such a noticeable difference between this clumsy looking Rin-chan and the confident grinning Rin-chan… you can really experience both sides of her character with the Nendoroid! ♪

Plus if you combine the embarrassed expression with the sitting parts… 

Ooooooooooohhh!! ♥︎

It’s like she’s about to tell you some little secret! ☆

I moved the legs on the sitting parts to both face the same way to change the cross-legged sitting pose into this slightly more girly posing! It’s always fun to see how you can play around with arms and legs for new poses! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Grab your very own ‘second childhood friend’!

Nendoroid Lingyin Huang!

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

Check the GSC Site for more details!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I am fully prepared for the Winter already! I keep a scarf with me all the time for walking about outside! It’s really starting to get cold in the evenings now… be sure to keep warm and avoid any colds!

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

Nendoroid Beatrice “Lily” Anastasi!

Oooooooohhhh!! (´□｀｡)

From the popular PlayStation Vita game ‘FREEDOM WARS’ comes a Nendoroid of the key to revolution and destiny, Beatrice! A plastic board that can be attached between her hair parts to show her prison sentence is also included. The thorns climbing along her right leg are also faithfully included! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Let’s see how she looks from the back!

Her outfit has been sculpted down to the finest of details! ♪

Just take a look at how close everything is to the original design! Perhaps the most amazing of which is… this! <○><○>

Even as a Nendoroid her impressive bust does not cease to amaze!

Plus if you take a look at her hands you’ll notice her left has a ibara thorn whip, while the right has her close-range weapon!  (σ・∀・)σ

Not to mention that the thorn whip can actually be extended outward! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ　　

The thorn whip is made with translucent parts, and even features little spiky bumps all over it! Combine the whip with her serious expression like this and you get an epic pose from a volunteer scene! (ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

The thorn whip comes with three middle section parts, so you can alter the length of it with more or less depending on your pose! If you connect all three it actually gets rather long!

Hang on a second… her skirt seems strangely different to before…?

(・∀・) “That’s right!” 

We’re joined by the figure’s planner, Otanaka!

 (・∀・) “Beatrice comes with two different skirt parts, the second of which makes her look more firmly planted in place for more tense battle scenes!”

Oooh! The hem section is placed much further outward!
This combined with the bent legs makes her look planted in place!! ♪

 (・ ∀・) “Plus she also comes with a long ranged weapon, so you really have a huge number of possible battle scenes to recreate!” 

(・∀・) “Her arms have a little extra articulation allowing for easier posing with the weapons as well!” 

It’s always nice to have more poses when working on a character from an action game! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

By the way, the standard and serious expressions looks great… but does she come with anything else?

(・∀・) “Beatrice’s smile is such a lovely gentle expression, we obviously had to include it as well!”

She’s so cute!! (*´Д｀)=з

Even under the harshest conditions I would be happy to keep going on with this smile by my side!! 

(・∀・) “Enjoy recreating all sorts of fun scenes from the game!”

Fellow FREEDOM WARS players, grab Beatrice to keep right by your side!

Nendoroid Beatrice “Lily” Anastasi!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♪

(・∀・) “Preorders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP will include ‘3x Ibara Whip Extension Parts‘ as a bonus!”

Oooh! I can imagine even more fun action scenes with these! (*´Д｀)=з

(・∀・) “Plus! To celebrate the figure’s announcement, you can get special decals in the game!”

(・∀・) “Here is the available line-up of decals!”

There is even a Kahotan Icon?!
I’m honoured!! Thank you!! 

 (・∀・) “A big thank you to the developers for being so kind to add these in! Feel free to customise your character in Good Smile style!” 

More details will be available on the product page.

Tick or Treat! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan) ★

If you don’t give me candy I’ll sit and until you do! We even had quite a few people come into the offices in costume today… including Aki-san as Mario! You can see some photos over on the GSC Lab Blog! ♪

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

Nendoroid Aoi Yukimura!♪

Oooooooohhh!! (/ω＼)♥︎

From the popular 15 minute anime series that’s currently on air ‘Yama no Susume’ comes an adorable Nendoroid of the gentle main character, Aoi-chan!

Her mountaineering outfit has been sculpted in lovely detail from the stitching of the skirt to the zip on her jacket! (*´Д｀)=з

Her backpack can be attached and removed whenever you like, allowing you to pose it beside her for some breaks or alternate poses! Even the straps and connectors on the bag have been included on the design! The straps that connect to her shoulders are also fitted with a ball joint, allowing you to match their positions with nearly any pose!  ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

She also has important tools for mountain climbing!

Alpenstocks!!

Her outfit is beautifully detailed and all, but it all comes together as a true mountaineering outfit as soon as these are added! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

It’s amazing how adding some parts like that really brings out the atmosphere of the series! ♪

(・∀・) “She comes with other awesome parts too!” 

We’re joined by the figure’s planner, Kyojin!!

(・∀・) “We mentioned it on a live broadcast in the past, but Aoi comes with the very first inclined Nendoroid stand! In other words…

…Mountain Slope Parts!”

Ooooooohhhh!!!! ∑(ﾟДﾟ)

It’s way bigger than I imagined!!
The loose rocks certainly don’t make it look like an easy climb either…!

(・∀・) “She also comes with an exhausted expression, so you can pose her struggling to climb up the mountain – like this!”

It might have been a rough climb, but it’s why she feels the way she does about mountain climbing! Just remembering that episode brings a little tear to my eye!

 (・∀・) “Yama no Susume teaches people about both the fun times and the  hardships of mountain climbing!”

You can also place the stand on it’s other side… to get this!

A less steep slope! You can choose between the two depending on what sort of scene you prefer! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

(・∀・) “She also comes with a tired face, allowing for more standard mountain climbing scenes!” 

I want to give her some candy for trying so hard!!

Her smiling face is adorable and all, but she is just as lovable when trying so hard!! ♥︎

(・∀・) “Aoi-chan’s parts really focus on the mountain climbing aspect of the series, but there are all sorts of poses you can take with her! Be sure to give her lots of love!”

As you can see, it can also be a load of fun to take her out to climb mountains together!! ★

Unique optional parts and a lovely detailed outfit!

Nendoroid Aoi Yukimura!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 5th November! ★

Another item that will be up for preorder soon that suits her well is this!!

The Nendoroid Pouch: Sleeping Bag!

Doesn’t it remind you of the end of the opening theme?! Plus it will be coming in both a Red Ver. and Blue Ver.! (σ・∀・)σ

Details will be up soon, so keep an eye on the official site! ♪

As you can see it also comes with a little keychain, allowing you to carry your favorite Nendoroid around with you while giving them a nice place to nap at the same time! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have been practising hard for Halloween by eating as much candy as possible these last few days! I also get the feeling that a couple of people will be dressing up for Halloween in the offices on Friday!

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

Nendoroid Batman: Hero’s Edition!

Oooooohhhhh!!! (´□｀｡)

The Dark Knight of Gotham City is joining the Nendoroids! ♡ 

The very first Nendoroid from the world of DC Comics! Also my personal favorite character from US comics, so I couldn’t be happier!

There have of course already been quite a few Nendoroids from Marvel Comics!

· Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 7: Hero’s Edition
· Nendoroid Iron Man Mark 42: Hero’s Edition + Hall of Armor Set
· Nendoroid Iron Patriot: Hero’s Edition
· Nendoroid Spider-Man: Hero’s Edition

But anyway, let’s get back onto Batman!! 

The bumps and indents of his outfit have been carefully sculpted!

Batman really is a Dark Knight in the fact that he wears an outfit that is almost completely black,  but even so if yo look close you’ll see that different areas have a different texture, and the bat on his chest is faithfully included! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

The careful sculpting and use of textures takes a rather simple one-color outfit and turns it into a rather impressive sight!

Plus just like Ironman and Spider-Man,
Batman’s elbows, knees and chest area are articulated making him a much more posable Nendoroid compared to most! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Let’s see how he looks from the back!

His cape is split into a left and right side, even allowing you to pose the cape with a dynamic movement to it! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

In his hand he is holding a grapnel gun!

A very important item for Batman! A high-tech gadget that shoots wires out allowing him to move around quickly and easily! 

Plus he also comes with an alternate body part which allows you to pose him in a rather memorable pose!

Even the tiny little gap at the top of the cape had his body carefully detailed! The difference in texture of the cape compared to his normal outfit is also very faithfully preserved!(･ω･)b

By the way… because this body is a completely separate part, you can also place other Nendoroid head parts on it!

Add an insidious feeling to any character!
*Perhaps its just insidious looking as it’s Dayo-san…

The included parts provide all sorts of fun possibilities! Definitely something to look forward to!!

(・∀・) “There are other optional parts too!”

We’re joined by the figure’s planner, Enon! 

(・∀・) “As you mentioned he comes with the grapnel gun as one of his weapons, but there is another weapon that just had to be included for this to truly be a Batman figure!”

!!!

He seems to be holding something… something golden and metallic looking!
Is that what I think it is?! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ

(・∀・) “I’m sure it is! Be comes with his very versatile Batarang!“

The edges are even made to look a little sharp!! It’s lovely!! ♡

(・∀・) “Plus even though it’s tiny, it can be attached and removed from the hand!”

It’s so nicely made for something so small! A true work of art!!

(・∀・) “Speaking of works of art… he also comes with the bat signal!“

The ‘light’ of the searchlight is made with translucent parts in order to make it look like a searchlight! It’s amazing how well it works! ε=(｡・д・｡)

(・∀・) “The light can also be removed from the searchlight in order to display it before it’s turned on! The bat signal shape is of course included on the switched off version too!

Oooohhh!!!

Details added to parts that normally wouldn’t even be seen! The bat shape is actually rather cute! ♡

(・∀・) “We tried our best to make him able to take epic action poses, and also paid very close attention the the sculpting! I hope fans will enjoy him!”

Perhaps you can display him with the previously released Marvel Comics heroes! You could create Marvel Vs. DC in Nendoroid size! ♪

The adorable Dark Knight, here to join your collection!

Nendoroid Batman: Hero’s Edition!

He’ll be up for preorder from the 30th October 2014!

(・∀・) “Plus we also have a special bonus for those who choose to order from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP!”

Oooooohhhh!!! (*´Д｀)
The 75th Anniversary Logo!!

(・∀・) “An alternate light part for the searchlight which has a different color and Batman’s 75th Anniversary logo!”

Be sure to check the GSC site tomorrow for more details! ★

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Nice warm tea and some daifuku are such a lovely combination!
The chestnut sweet bean jelly is also hard to avoid at this time of year!

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

Nendoroid Kosaki Onodera! ☆

Oooooooohhhh!!! (*´∀`*)

The second Nendoroid from Nisekoi following on from Nendoroid Chitoge Kirisaki! The gentle, cheerful and rather shy Kosaki-chan looking adorable in chibi Nendoroid size! ♪

Her Bonyari High School uniform has been sculpted beautifully, with a nicely little dynamic touch to the skirt as well! She even comes with her school bag, making it easy to pose her walking to school in the mornings! (｀・ω・´)

You can have even more fun making poses if you have Chitoge to display with her! ♪

Along with the smiling face above, she also comes with this panicked expression! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

I can just hear her cute voice panicking through my head!! ♪

You can also pose her with her hands together for a different kind of panic! So cute!! ♥︎

Kosaki-chan’s personality is captured so well in the figure! (*´Д｀)=з
…I can’t help but want to jump to her side and help her! She looks so distressed!!

The ‘Promise Key’, a rather important part of the series is also included!

Note that the key is different to the one included with Chitoge! (σ・∀・)σ

Plus she also comes with a third, embarrassed expression!

Infinite Cuteness!!

I’ll run up and hug her well before Ichijo-kun ever gets the chance!

Plus…

This expression also lets you recreate a rather special scene!

The confession scene!! (*´Д`*)

She comes with a separate skirt part held up to make an even close reproduction! Just look at the sculpting of the creases!! ♡

Plus you can use these skirt parts with other expression parts to create a whole new little story for Kosaki-chan!

Combined with the panicked expression it makes for a rather comedic scene! ♪ (/ω＼)

The strange yellow creature that is staring up at her of of course wooser-sama!

The second season of Nisekoi is also coming up soon!!

I for one am very much looking forward to more! ε=(｡・д・｡)

There are of course many other heroines in the series too…
One of which is also joining the Nendoroids soon! The third from the series…

Nendoroid Seishiro Tsugumi! ♥︎

She has already been completely painted!!

An adorable Nendoroid with the cutest of expressions! ♪

Nendoroid Kosaki Onodera!

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

Plus, earlier wasn’t just a tease…

Nendoroid Seishiro Tsugumi

Will also be going up for preorder tomorrow!!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ
