Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m looking for a good ways to cut off some excess weight, but whenever I see newly released candy I can’t help but try it… (ﾉ)・ω・｀(ヾ) *nomnom*

But anyway, today we’re going to be taking a look at a product that is shipping out from GSC today…

Nendoroid Colossus Titan & Attack Playset

The unexpected Nendoroid form of the Colossus Titan is finally being released! This is the start of the still flourishing ‘Attack on Titan’ Nendoroid series! ♪

Let’s start off with a look at the packaging!

It’s rather large…!

The Titan peering over from the top of the box was a wonderful addition! ★

Next let’s take a closer look at the blister pack! ♪

As you’d expect from the ‘Playset’ product name, this Nendoroid comes with various extra goodies as well as the Colossus Titan himself!

His stand is made to look like a miniature Shiganshina District!

All of the included parts are not attached to the stand itself, so you really have the freedom to arrange them, or place them absolutely anywhere you like! ♪

Alright then, let’s have the Titan break open the wall quick…

An alternate wall part with the center broken in is included!

The hole allows for all the smaller titans to break into the city, while the little people fight back – with Vertical Maneuvering Devices that include effect parts and all – they really look like they’re flying though the air!

…(ΦωΦ)…

How many of you noticed that the last photo also provided a sneak peak of the secret titan included in the set – the titan that was not seen in any release cuts! He was also mysteriously hidden from the blister pack photo!

You’ll have to wait until your set arrives to check out the full details though! That sneak peek is all I’m giving! ★

Anyway, let’s get back to the Colossus Titan himself!

He definitely has a rather different atmosphere about him when compared to normal Nendoroids… (ﾟｰﾟ*)(｡_｡*)

His arms and legs are much more articulated than normal – almost like a fully posable Nendoroid!

Along with his serious standard expression, he also comes with a chibi expression for more comical scenes… her also looks a little cuter which makes him fit in with other Nendoroids better! ^^;

You can swap between the two different expressions whenever you like!

Poses like this suit the chibi face nicely! ♥

The first time I saw the Nendoroid, I remember thinking… “H-How do I exchange expression parts on this thing?! ((((；ﾟДﾟ))))”.

I’m sure some of you might be thinking the same thing, but it’s easier than you think! The area highlighted in blue here comes off just like the front hair parts of other Nendoroids – it’s just the same as always!

I remember thinking the same thing when I first saw Nendoroid Monokuma as well… when the characters are not human it can sometimes seem rather confusing!

The production team apparently had quite a lot of trouble effectively making the part separable without standing out, but they’ve done a great job! (；・∀・)

I do think the realistic expression is great for the series… but personally the chibi expression is what makes this Nendoroid perfect to me! ♥

Here we have him doing his early morning jogging! It’s cold enough for you to see your breath now!!

Just one quick note… this is the Colossus Titan, but he is the same size as any other Nendoroid – don’t expect anything enormous! (；´∀｀)

Although posing other Nendoroids together with him and the playset make it look as if they’re grown to huge sizes! Colossus Mikudayo!

I look forward to displaying Mikasa and Eren together with him!

Nendoroid Colossus Titan & Attack Playset

He’s shipping out from GSC today!

Also shipping out this week is Picktam!: Attack on Titan! ★

High quality trading rubber accessories with alternate expressions to enjoy!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Since watching Attack on Titan, I’ve found that shouting out “I’ll exterminate them! Every single one of them!” just before eating really increases your appetite! The food is titans… and only you can eliminate them! 😛

Today we’re going to be taking a look at someone skilled in Titan slaying…

Nendoroid Eren Yeager!

Yeager!! ∠(ﾟДﾟ)/

The first two Nendoroids from the series were the Nendoroid Colossus Titan & Attack Playset as well as Nendoroid Mikasa Ackerman!! Eren is the third to join the line-up!

Just like Mikasa, Eren comes with his super hard steel dual blades and vertical maneuvering equipment! The equipment attaches at his waist and has a really awesome mechanical look!

*On the final product, the engraved lines onthe swords will be visible from the back too.

Once again like Mikasa, Eren comes with his own blood effect parts. ♪

You can pose him fighting the Titans together with Mikasa! (Be sure to take a look at the release photos tomorrow for this!)

The vertical maneuvering equipment can of course also be removed! ♪

He can also be displayed in the famous ”I dedicate my heart” pose!

An alternate hand part with a little bit of blood is included to pose him just before the point that he transforms into a Titan! ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

The shouting expression is filled with emotion and suits him really well! Plus if you switch out the expression for this one…!

You can recreate the scene where he tried to transform but couldn’t! (σ・∀・)σ

There are so many different options for him!!

(・∀・) “Have you taken photos of that scene yet?”

We have a visitor! Kyojin from the planning team!

Ah yes… that scene…! (ΦωΦ)ﾌﾌﾌ…
Here we go…!

The questioning scene!!

To think we can recreate this scene in Nendoroid size!! Yay!!

(・∀・) “We wanted to include something extra for Eren, and after much deliberation we decided on these parts!”

(・∀・) “The body part is attached to the pole, but the arms and wrists can be swapped out for a few extra posing options!”

He also comes with both left and right bent legs! This means you can even makes some poses like… this! ( -ﾉｪ-)

Mikasa is strong no matter what the circumstances…!
*A scene only seen in Kahotan’s imagination.

(・∀・) “He’s really fun to put in all sorts of poses, and should be great fun to display with Mikasa and the Colossus Titan! I’m sure fans will have lots of fun!”

Right! Now let’s head back to the questioning scene for a little…
Someone is definitely missing from this scene for me!! ヾ(｡｀Д´｡)ﾉ

There should definitely be a certain someone beside him in this scene!!
Where is he?! (Kyojin looked a little scared of me here…)

（（（(・∀・；)））） “Ca-calm down!! He’s coming too!!”

Words from the main planner of the series himself! Can I take that as an
official announcement for the blog?! *Serious Face*

(・∀・) “Let me rephrase…
Nendoroid Levi is currently in production!!”

…………!
(There are no words to express my happiness…!)

(・∀・) “He’s still in the rather early stages, but I’ll allow one little sneak peek from the back!”

R-Really?!

Let me clear the desk up for you… READY! (｀・ω・´)

(・∀・) “Nendoroid Levi’s very first debut…”

Oooohhh!!!! (*´Д`) Heichou!!

Look at his amazing cape!!! I can’t wait to see the final thing!! I want to display him together with Eren in the scene above!! I’ll be watching out for any news about him to pass on to everyone! ♡

But for now we have the main character of the series…
Nendoroid Eren Yeager!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I tried to sing Attack on Titan’s opening, ‘Guren no Yumiya’ at karaoke the other day, but I just couldn’t get the lyrics out… the only parts I could sing with confidence were buta yo! and Jäger!!! (｀・ω・´；)

On that note, today I’ll be taking a look at none other than…

Nendoroid Mikasa Ackerman!

The silent, expressionless beauty!

The perfect girl who shares her name with a Japanese battleship! I’m confident she is just as strong as any battleship!! (っ´∀｀)っ

This is how she looks from the back!
The Trainees Squad emblem is already looking rather nostalgic…!

Here we have posed ready to fight!

I have to say that recently…
I’ve started to warm up to muscular girls more! ♥

All thanks to characters like Valmet and Sakura-chan!!

She also comes with her Vertical Maneuvering Equipment, which is super detailed and makes for amazing poses!

Mikasa’s combat ability goes far beyond most heroines! (=´Д`=)ﾉ

Effect parts to attach to the equipment to pose her flying through the air is also included, allowing for even more dynamic poses!

Here’s an example of the effect attached to the equipment! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

You can even put her in this famous pose!

This confident pose makes her look so gallant! (●´ω｀●)

She is said to have the same fighting potential as 100 normal soldiers, and I think the confidence in this pose shows that is true even for her Nendoroid! She also comes with a shouting expression which is perfect for combat scenes!

Ooh! More effect parts!! ((((((ﾉﾟ⊿ﾟ)ﾉ

(・∀・) “Yep! Bust not just any effects, blood effects!!“

Today we are once again joined by Kyojin from the planning team!

(・∀・) “The blood is included to allow you to pose her as if slicing up one of the Titans in an epic battle! It helps shows just how skilled she is with the swords!”

I see, I see! I also see there are a total of three expressions?
Explain the third one for everyone!

(・∀・) “The third expression is a ‘stunned’ expression. It also works nicely as a despairing face!”

Oooh!! Even as a Nendoroid she looks so sorrowful!
Seeing that confident Mikasa like this… all hope may be lost…!

(・∀・) “This expression comes from a scene in the 8th volume of the manga.”

It hasn’t been in the anime yet, but it’s quite the scene to remember!

(・∀・) “Those only watching the anime can definitely look forward to seeing this scene soon!”

Both her legs come with bent forms which also allows for a pose like this! I didn’t think I’d ever see Mikasa looking so powerless!! (゜д゜；)
There are so many characters I want to try putting this expression on!!

(・∀・) “She also comes with the scarf she got from Eren, which can be posed around her head to cover her nose!”

(・∀・) “Here we have Mikasa enjoying Eren’s lingering scent!”
(*Kyojin’s imagination)

Oooh!! now that you mention it, she must be enjoying Eren’s scent! (*´Д`) (*Kahotan’s imagination)

The pose I put her in actually makes it look as if she is really happy about something after all… 😛

(・∀・) “The inner box packaging is planned to be a wall texture!”

Adding in a background really helps being out the atmosphere of the series! This will be great for amazing displays! っε=(｡・д・｡)

(・∀・) “Plus there is still another extra to enjoy! If you pick Mikasa up from the Good Smile Online shop, you’ll also get a limited edition Nendoroid stand to display her on!”

W-What?! Let me see!!

(・∀・) “The base has a paved look to match with the feeling of the series!”

Oooh!!

Combining this together with the background will completely recreate the atmosphere of a city in the series!! ♪

Not to mention how much fun you could have combining that with the Nendoroid Colossal Titan & Attack on Titan Playset!

Plus there is still more characters to come!! This is only number two!

Nendoroid Mikasa Ackerman!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Get in contact with our partner shops if you have any preorder or sales queries!

Hello everyone!!
My name is Kahotan from the planning team and I’ll be taking over the blog from today! I know I have a lot to learn, but I hope you’ll all enjoy the blog either way!

ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟ ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟ ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟ ﾟ･*

My very first blog will be none other than…

Nendoroid Colossal Titan & Attack on Titan Playset

This is much more than just a single Nendoroid of the Colossal Titan – you get all sorts of other goodies from the series as well!
The wall, houses, villagers and other titans are all included!
It’s a complete playset for all sorts of fun!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

There are three mini-Titans included and one of them is a secret!!
I wonder what kind of Titan it will be!!? (,,-∀-,,)

Below you can see the Nendoroid on display with the special diorama that was on display at Wonder Festival 2013 last Sunday! (28th July)

This photo is taken from a low angle to show just what it’s like to be someone like Eren, always having to look up at the giant Titan! (ΦωΦ)

Even in Nendoroid size the muscles stretching over the Titan’s face look just as disturbing as they do in the series!!

The soldiers equipped with 3D Maneuver Gear can be posed jumping through the air using the smoke parts that attach to the chimneys!

There are so many ways to create fun scenes from the Shiganshina District!

The houses themselves are also not attached to the base, so you can line up the houses however you like! Plus all the little characters (even the villagers without the 3D Maneuver Gear) are each sculpted slightly differently!!

Let’s see what the sculptor behind all of this has to say!

*Sculptor Summon: Isao Shirasagi*

(・∀・) “Sculpting these little people was probably the hardest part of the set.
Although they’re small, each of them was specifically made to look different to the others, so I hope everyone takes the time to look at them in detail!”
Just look how tiny they are! Making them all different and still able to go through mass production must have been quite tough. Was there anything else you paid special attention to?

(・∀・)　”The Wall! If you decide to pick up two of them, the walls can actually connect together to make a semi-circle!”

Oooh!! ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ
If you get enough you could completely recreate the circular Shiganshina District!

(・∀・)　”Plus a kicked down section of wall is also included, giving you even more options!”

Thanks for all your input!! Having the wall with a hole in it makes it really seem like the Titan is breaking in! But as if all these parts weren’t enough…

An alternate chibi face is also included!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

I-I hate to say it, but he… he actually looks…
… disturbingly cute!! (●´ω｀●)

Now he’s even cuter, pretending to be an plane!

*Planning Team Summon: Kyojin*

(・∀･)　”He’s more than just cute you know!”

His mouth can also open and close?! (;ﾟдﾟ)

I think this is the first Nendoroid to do this since Nendoroid Ryuk!

(･∀･)　”Well he is a Titan… I’m sure he wants to eat things!”

You can make use of the included miniatures to pose him eating too!

(･∀･)　”Yep! Plus the Titan that ate Eren’s mother also has an articulated mouth and hands!”

Ooooohhh!! ( ﾟﾛﾟ)

So many options with such attention to detail… you can really see the planners behind this figure are fans of the series themselves! To think you can pose the Titans eating the humans is simply amazing!

Nendoroid Colossal Titan & Attack on Titan Playset

The set is up for preorder from today! ☆

Get in contact with our partner shops if you have any preorder or sales queries!

Plus fans will be happy to know that Nendoroid Mikasa’s prototype as well as Nendoroid Eren’s announcement were both at Wonder Festival! They’ll also be joining the series soon!!


There is even a scale figure of Mikasa being planned, so Attack on Titan fans have lots to look forward to!
