Nendoroid Anna

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

After the long weekend that was WonFes I got a nice 13 hours of sleep in yesterday! Air con… bed… sleep… it was divine!!!

Anyway, even though we are well into the hottest days of the year, today I’m going to be introducing a rather warmly dressed Nendoroid…

Nendoroid Anna!

From the hit film ‘Frozen’ comes a Nendoroid of Anna, the younger sister who longs to reconnect with her sister Elsa! The cute freckles on her face have been faithfully included on her Nendoroid rendition, and the outfit she wears to keep the cold out has also been shrunk down into Nendoroid size! The cape, hat and gloves are all removable, so you can also pose her simply wearing her dress with it’s adorable patterns!

She also comes with special parts that allow you to display her walking along with her hands behind her back! Olaf is also included in an alternate version wearing a hat and holding a cane, and she even comes with special hand parts to display her holding hands with Nendoroid Elsa! Be sure to display Elsa, Anna and Olaf all together!

Oooooohhh! (●´ω`●)

From the first ever Disney movie to feature two heroines, ‘Frozen’ comes a Nendoroid of the younger sister with a fun and cheerful attitude – Anna!! ♪

Take a look at the freckles that made Anna so adorable in the series! They have been faithfully shrunk into Nendoroid size and look so cute… this might the first ever Nendoroid to have freckles!

Her eyes look like they are brimming with curiosity, and the bright and cheerful smile really brings Anna’s personality into the Nendoroid! Just like Elsa the spirit of Disney has been nicely captured and transformed into Nendoroid size! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Let’s take a look at how she looks from the back!

The flowing appearance of her cape and even the little ornaments around the edges have been faithfully included! ♥︎

The bonnet connects between the two hair parts, meaning it can also be removed!

On top of that, you can also remove her cape and gloves to display her in a much more simple outfit that is just as cute!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Removing the bonnet also makes it more clear that the one section of her hair is a different, lighter color!

The braids that twirl all around and over her shoulders also incorporate the different color! What lovely detail! (´□`。)

But that’s not the only amazing details! Take a look at her outfit!! While some of the most intricate details has to be held back on, the flower prints on her skirt and chest as well as the patterns along the bottom have been kept even in Nendoroid size! The golden hemming of the upper garment also looks gorgeous, and will stay that way all the way to the actual product!! 

She also comes with alternate arm parts to display this pose! (●´ω`●)

△ A more reserved pose for the normally lively Anna! So cute!

The standard expression that I’ve been using up until now has a rather playful feel to it that really captures Anna’s personality beautifully!

Display her with Elsa and have them looking toward one and other like this!! (´□`。)

She also comes with some lovely optional parts other than her clothes!

Olaf is included once again!

This time he has a hat and cane! Summer version Olaf!

Olaf’s head is connected with a ball joint which means you can alter the angle to better match various situations as well… plus… the optional part comes with an optional part!

A hair(?) part is included for when his hat is removed!

Simply choose the parts and pose that you think suits him best! But we’re not done just yet! There is still another amazing part included with Nendoroid Anna! Σ(・ω・ノ)ノ

Holding hand parts for use with Elsa! ♥︎

This is to remind everyone of that lovely scene from the movie!! The hand parts are included for left and right side separately, so you can also pose them holding just one hand! 

You can create all sorts of stories between the two with all these optional parts! Whether they are directly from the movie or completely original scenes – they definitely bring the Frozen world right into your figure collection! ♥︎

Add the cheerful Anna to your collection!!

Nendoroid Anna!

She is up for preorder from tomorrow!♡

Plus, as you really shouldn’t separate the two… Nendoroid Elsa will also be rereleased! Orders will be taken at the same time as Anna ensuring you can grab both of them together!!

Orders for Elsa will open at the same time as Anna! ★

Be sure to check the GSC site tomorrow for more details! Don’t miss out on this chance to add the sister’s to your collection!! ♪

Nendoroid Elsa

\Let it go~♪ Let it go~♪/

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The other day I went to karaoke all by myself and the most memorable song I chose was definitely “Let it Go”! You can’t help but sing really loud which feels so great!!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Elsa!♥︎ 

 

From the hit film ‘Frozen’ comes a Nendoroid of the Arendelle Royal Family’s eldest daughter, Elsa! Her intricate dress has been carefully transformed into Nendoroid size, even including the faint yet beautiful snowflake patterns! She comes with three expressions including a cute smiling face, a sidelong glance with a smirk and a singing face that looks ready to shout out ‘Let it Go!’ at any moment!

Olaf, the enchanted snowman with a love for Summer is also included with his comical expression from the series faithfully reproduced – his neck and arms are also articulated allowing you to recreate all sorts of fun scenes for the snowman too! A special Nendoroid base based on Elsa’s ice castle is also included to display them on!

Ooooooooohhhh!!! (*´ω`*)

From the popular Disney film comes the princess with the ability to manipulate ice and snow! Her braided blond hair gives her such a lovely elegant look even in chibi Nendoroid size!  ♥︎

Even the hair accessory with a snowflake, and icy looking shoes have been beautifully sculpted! ◎

Her outfit has a nice translucent feeling to it! ♪

Not to mention all the lovely shiny parts – the long cape in particular looks so sparkly! This is how she looks from the back!

The larger snowflake patterns have also been included! ♪

Plus to add even more to the Frozen theme, she also comes with this base…

The base is made in the image of the ice castle made by Elsa!

The stand doesn’t make use of a connector, as Elsa can stand securely all by herself! Simply place her right on the center!

Combine this stand with the singing face… and… |ω・)ジー

\Here I stand in the light of day~♪/

It’s just like she is singing in her castle! ♡ 

Just looking at her makes the lyrics jump right into my head!! ♪

Let’s take another look from the back!

Elsa was sculpted by GSC’s Kataharaitashi!

I’m told that the most fun he had sculpting was the braids of her hair that you can see here! It’s certainly a hairstyle you don’t see on Nendoroids much!

I was worried that the hairstyle would look a little masculine in Nendoroid form, but it’s come out looking very fluffy and looks just right for her! ♥︎

Kataharaitashi is the same sculptor responsible for items such as Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Halloween Ver. and the upcoming Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Senbonzakura Ver.!

Plus… speaking of Elsa…  

She also comes with some ice magic! ★

These effect parts attach to her hands to display her using some of her ice magic! They also suit this mischievous expression really well! (`・ω・´)

While it does have a mischievous side to it, you can also feel a bit of her sense of being free in the expression!

Not to mention Olaf is also included!

You may have even noticed that his arms have moved about between the last two photos! Not only are his arms articulated, but his neck also features a ball joint for you to match his posing with Elsa’s easily! ☆

This way the corner of her mouth bends up is so Disney-like! I really love it!♡

Elsa is so cute! Even more so as a Nendoroid! (*´Д`)=з

 

Let it go and enjoy the atmosphere of Frozen in Nendoroid size!! ♡

Nendoroid Elsa!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 26th November!! ♪

Nendoroid Minnie Mouse

GSC’s orientation session is this week!

001

The orientation session is held to introduce the company to students who will graduate next year!

Many of the current staff also head off to the session hall (all dressed up in suits), which causes the offices to become strangely quiet… But with nobody around, I’m free to go wandering around in search of prototypes to play with!!

002

Nendoroid Minnie Mouse!

Nendoroid Mickey Mouse was released to commemorate the 100th Nendoroid release, and now Minnie Mouse will also be joining the Nendoroid series to keep him company!

Just look at how many extras she comes with!!

Everything here is included with the Nendoroid! She doesn’t come with any replaceable expressions, but instead she comes with lots of extras to pose along side her! Let’s take a closer look…

003

First up is her dresser!

This dresser and little seat were specially drawn up for the Nendoroid version of Minnie – just what an actress needs! They were drawn by Disney’s famous artists specially for the Nendoroid, just like with Mickey! Unbelievable!!

I love the lamp shaped like a flower, and the pearls surrounding the big mirror! This is definitely enough to make most girls squeal in delight! The drawer of the dresser also opens and closes, so you can safely store away the little parts that are included.

004

A brush, hand mirror, lipstick and powder puff!

All these little goodies are marked with the ‘M’ logo as well! Minnie herself is lovely, but these little extras are simply amazing as well! They give off a kind of retro feeling that really suits Mickey Mouse, but at the same time they are all so stylish!

005

She can hold the lipstick and mirror!

This way she can be posed putting on her make-up just before the show! I don’t think you can see it very well in this photo, but her little finger on the right hand is absolutely adorable!

006

This is how she looks from the back!

Having finished her make-up, Minnie now takes a good look at herself in the mirror for a final check! She is posable, but only at certain points – the neck, shoulders, wrists, thighs and ankles are posable. It’s very easy to get her into some very nice looking poses!

007

The mischievous Chip and Dale!

I’m sure as any fans will know, Chip is the one with the black nose and darker fur, while Dale is the one with the red nose with lighter fur! Time for a little trivia from Akiyama-san!

     / ̄ ̄\
   /  ー  ー \ ← Akiyama
   |  (●) (●) |

   |   . `⌒   }    
   ヽ       }
    ヽ     ノ 
   /      ヽ 

008

They are helping out with the filming!

Dale is wearing a sun visor with ‘AD’ (Assistant Director) written on the top. Chip is wearing headphones, helping out the sound team! Those fluffy headphones and mike look great as well! And the cord wrapping around Dale is cute!

009

Displayed with Mickey Mouse!

Mickey came with a load of extra parts putting him in the director’s seat! If you combine it with all the parts that come with Minnie it really creates a nice scene! Minnie also comes with a script, which is even signed by her! You can really recreate the world of Disney right on your own desk!

002

Nendoroid Minnie Mouse!

 
She was put up on the Good Smile site today!! (`・ω・´)ゞ
If you have any preorder or sales queries, be sure to contact our partner shops!
 
But anyway, that’s all for today!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow!! (・∀・)ノ゛

Nendoroid No.100 – Mickey Mouse!

He’s finally here!


001

So sorry that it took so long… there have been a load of adjustments that kept delaying him, but he is finally due for release!

The commemorative 100th Nendoroid:

Nendoroid Mickey Mouse!
 

       / ̄ ̄ ̄\
     / ─    ─  \
    /  <○>  <○>  \.   ”Another huge box…”
    |   (__人__) し | 
    \    ` ⌒´    / 
    /  し          \

The Nendoroid boxes are slowly getting bigger and bigger… I guess it’s really just a sign that they are getting more and more parts to play with!

So let’s take a look at Mickey!

002

This is how the packaging looks!

As you can see there are a ton of fun looking parts… although you might not even be able to tell what some of them are at the moment. 😛


011

Nendoroid Mickey-san!

I really never expected to see the legendary Mickey-san get his very own Nendoroid! I’m so glad that Disney Japan allowed us to make him! (;゚Д゚)

He looks absolutely adorable as a Nendoroid! 🙂

003

This is how he looks from the back!

The stand is one of the stands that presses into the back.

His little tail is also 360 degree posable!


004

Mickey found some smoked cheese!

(The smoked cheese isn’t included)

Mickey isn’t quite fully posable, but he is still very posable! His shoulders, thighs and even the tip of his feet are fitted with joints.

You can pose him from all sorts of poses from the show!  (・∀・)ノ

005

Let’s move onto the optional parts!

First up is his director’s chair!

Even the chair is quite cute… ^^;
The armrests look like Mickey’s hands and the backrest features a ‘Mickey’ logo. It’s such a simple design but it looks great and suits Mickey nicely.


006

He also needs his camera!
The camera also features a design that suits Mickey really well – the film on the top looks like his ears… it’s so perfect!


007

Next up is his megaphone!

All these little parts bring out Mickey’s world for you to enjoy!
Obviously he also comes with hands to hold the megaphone.

Don’t you think Mickey looks adorable from the side-view? I really like this angle!


009

Last but not least – his clapperboard!

Once again it is styled to fir into Mickey’s world perfectly!
 

012

The full set of filming tools!

These were actually drawn by Disney Japan especially for the Nendoroid!!
 

         ____
      /::::::─三三─\   ”‘SCENE 100’? Why 100?”

It’s ‘Scene 100’ to coincide with the fact that this is the 100th Nendoroid!! ・゚・(ノД`)・゚・。

Great idea, Disney Japan!


008

He decided to have a chat with Teddy!

Mickey is a little different from normal Nendoroids – he doesn’t come with any extra expressions…

But instead he does have replaceable eyes!

When you want to change the eyes you just pull of the skin-colored part on his face – you don’t need to remove the head at all which makes it really easy! If you’re a fan of Mickey then you’ll have great fun posing him in some of your favorite scenes!

Nendoroid No. 100:

Unbelievable!!
