Nendoroid Subaru Akehoshi (Ensemble Stars!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Subaru Akehoshi

From the popular game “Ensemble Stars!” comes a Nendoroid of Subaru Akehoshi from Trickstar! He comes with three face plates including his standard expression, his grinning expression and his begging expression!

He comes with a microphone as an optional part as well as his dog Daikichi, so you can pose the two of them while out on a walk! Be sure to add him to your collection!

The first-class star with a shining smile!

From the game with an anime currently airing, “Ensemble Stars!”, comes a Nendoroid of the energetic Subaru Akehoshi!

His Trickstar outfit has been perfectly recreated in Nendoroid form!

Even small details like his necklace, chain belt and wristband haven’t been forgotten! ◎

▲His fluffy hairstyle has been captured as well!( ・∀・)

And… who is that beside him!?

His dog, Daikichi, is also included!

His head can be moved left and right, and his front legs can be rotated, allowing you create the perfect pose! ★

Combine with Subaru’s grinning expression face plate to display them as though on a walk!

▲I can practically hear Subaru’s voice just looking at this picture!

Additionally, a microphone is included as an optional part! ◎

▲He can easily be posed holding it using the included hand part!▼

Perfect for creating original situations or card illustrations from the game! ((｀・∀・´))

In addition to his previously shown standard expression and grinning expression face plates, he also comes with a begging expression!

Those worried-looking eyebrows…! He’s so cute it’s almost unfair!

If you change the angle you look at it, it also kind of looks like he’s talking with the other members of Trickstar!

Display him with the microphone and it looks like he’s singing a sad song!

Have fun creating all kinds of different poses when you take him home! ₍₍(∩´ ᵕ `∩)⁾⁾

There’s one more thing I want to take a look at!

He comes with peace sign hands too! ( ੭ ･ᴗ･ )੭

Both right and left peace sign hands are included, so you can make his double peace sign pose!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Izumi Sena

From the popular game “Ensemble Stars!” comes a Nendoroid of the Knights unit member, Izumi Sena! He comes with his standard expression, his displeased expression as though saying “Just shut up!” as well as his flushed expression from when he can’t contain his excitement!

He comes with a microphone, motorcycle key + special hand part and a sword fitting for the “Knights” unit as optional parts! Display him performing on stage or instead in more everyday scenes all in adorable Nendoroid size!

“Ahhh, just shut up already!”

From the unit “Knights” comes a Nendoroid of the cynical prince of the modeling world: Izumi Sena!

Every element of his outfit has been carefully recreated, including the belt over his shirt, his glove and bracelet, his Napoleon jacket and even his shoes! ◎

His fluffy silver hair has been meticulously sculpted as well!

He comes with a microphone and various interchangeable hand parts for you to recreate Knights concerts in the palm of your hand! ((｀・∀・´))

As for face plates, in addition to his confident standard expression, he also comes with his displeased expression!

▲With the hand-on-hip parts you can clearly see the top side of the glove! ♪

“Hey, get out of the way.”

Crossed arm parts are included as well! ◎

“Get out of my way, you’re so annoying.”

His furrowed brows and narrowed eyes give off a bit of a different impression than his standard face plate!

“You look so tacky in that jersey you know?”

Izumi-senpai to a tee! I’ve really grown to love his unique charm.

“I guess I’ll have to give you a ride.”

He also comes with a motorcycle key + special hand part, allowing you to recreate the art from the “Arboreal Snake” card! ♪

The following part is also included! ( ・ㅂ・)و ̑̑

Yep, it’s a sword! Perfect for recreating Knights’ album covers! ◎

▲Change out his mic for the sword and create your own original situations!

Finally, his third face plate is his flushed expression!

Such a gap between this face plate and the previous one!

Interchangeable arm parts are included to recreate his pose from the “SS Support” card after blooming!( ｀・∀・)尸

Nendoroid Kaoru Hakaze (Ensemble Stars!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We’re already half way through May! There are lots of interesting items coming up later this month, so stay tuned!!! ♪

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the latest ORANGE ROUGE product…
Nendoroid Kaoru Hakaze!★

From the popular game “Ensemble Stars!” comes a Nendoroid of the UNDEAD unit member, Kaoru Hakaze! He comes with three face plates including a standard confident expression, a winking expression for more idol-esque poses as well as a smiling expression with closed eyes.

Optional parts include a standard microphone as well as the stand microphone always seen during UNDEAD’s performances! Display him performing on stage or instead in more everyday scenes all in adorable Nendoroid size! Also be sure to display him with the upcoming Nendoroid Kanata Shinkai!

“Is everyone happy and smiling?”

From the series that recently celebrated its 3rd anniversary, “Ensemble Stars!” comes a Nendoroid of the UNDEAD unit member, Kaoru Hakaze!! He has been sculpted wearing his black stage outfit and can easily be posed in his iconic “We are UNDEAD” pose!

▲The cute little hand is perfect!

The outfit is mostly black, but you can see there are lots of shades and details that capture the outfit in lovely detail for a Nendoroid! ♪

▲ The hair flowing over his shoulder also looks great! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

Optional parts include a microphone for him to hold, as well as the stand microphone always seen during UNDEAD’s performances! ★

These allow you to recreate all sorts of poses from his stage performances in adorable Nendoroid size!!

He also comes with three different face plates, the first is his standard expression which can be seen in the photos above, and his second is…

A winking expression!★

In addition, his hat can also be removed for even more posing options!

You can combine his standard expression with the winking expression to kind of posing him blowing a kiss to his fans! (*´ｪ`*)

Moving on to this third face plate…

A Smile with Closed Eyes!

This smile was seen on a couple of his card illustrations from the game!

The contrast between this smiling expression and his cool and composed standard expression is lovely! It really separates the idol side of his character to the more playful high-school student side!

Add the adorable UNDEAD member to your collection!
Nendoroid Kaoru Hakaze!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!☆
