Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Asahi Azumane!

“I am the ace of Karasuno High!”

The gentle ace of Karasuno High School is joining the Nendoroid series! Even in Nendoroid size his slight chin beard has been faithfully included on the design! The balance between the cuteness of the Nendoroid and his slightly wild appearance is perfect!

Plus if you look from the back you can see the way he has his hair tied up in a ball! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

▲ The tightly tied-up ball looks rather cute!

His first face plate that you can see in the photo above is a cheerful and gentle smile, but he also has a very contrasting serious expression which is perfect for when he is playing in a match!

▲ The usual ball parts with a stand are included for dynamic scenes!

Plus…

He also comes with alternate front hair parts and a hair elastic part which allow you to display him in his appearance after the inter-high trials!

▲ This allows you to capture even more scenes from the series!

Moving on to his third face plate…

The panicked expression he sometimes showed in the series!

The difference between character between his serious expression and this expression is amazing, and yet they both capture different sides of her personality so nicely! ♪

▲ Displaying him with other members of the team for more fun!

Here we have the three  third-year members of the Kurasuno team in Nendoroid size! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

▲ Above we have the more serious look…
Below we have a more playful look! ▼

⇒ Nendoroid Koshi Sugawara
⇒ Nendoroid Daichi Sawamura

Let’s try a different group! Here we have the younger members together with Asahi for a quick shot!

⇒ Nendoroid Shoyo Hinata
⇒ Nendoroid Yu Nishinoya

The ace player and his guardian deity!

The Nendoroid looks great on his own, but displaying him with the other characters from the series allows for even more fun! ♪

Be sure to add the adorable ace to your collection!
Nendoroid Asahi Azumane!

He’ll be up for preorder from the 9th April 2018!

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company Web Site for more details! ☆

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Tomorrow is Valentine’s day! I will use it as an excuse to indulge in lots of chocolate!! *nom* ( ‘༥’ ) *nom*

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Toru Oikawa: School Uniform Ver. !

The “Grand King” rejoins the Nendoroids dressed I his school uniform!

The “Grand King”of Aobajohsai High is joining the Nendoroids once again, this time dressed up in his school uniform instead of his volleyball outfit!

▲ Even the pattern on his pants has been captured! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

This time around the Nendoroid comes with two different face plates! The first of which is the playful winking expression which is used in the above photos!

In his hands, he holds…

Oikawa’s favorite food, Milk Bread! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

Filled with cream… it looks so delicious!!

Moving onto his second face plate, we have an expression pulling hid eyelid down and sticking out his tongue to recreate the gesture he showed to Kageyama in his junior high years!! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ” 

“Idiot! Idiot!!”

This allows you to capture the more childish side of his personality in adorable Nendoroid size!

The tongue sticking out of the expression has been sculpted to really stand out, and has rather impressive detail for a Nendoroid face plate! I’m sure it can be used to create all sorts of interesting situations in Nendoroid size! (´□｀｡)

Also take note of the special base!

He comes with a special base with a volleyball-like design featuring the color’s of  Aobajohsai High School!

In addition, you can also of course make use of the face plate and other parts from Nendoroid Toru Oikawa together with this Nendoroid for even more posing options! For example…

Smiling Face Plate

Fearless Face Plate

Playful Face Plate

Also, while he does wear the uniform slightly differently, you can also make use of the head of Nendoroid Hajime Iwaizumi to display Iwa-chan in his uniform too!

▲ The Aobajohsai High School has such a refreshing look!

In addition, the Nendoroid also comes with a background sheet made to look like the “Chindouchuu” ramen shop which can be used as a backdrop for your Nendoroids! (っ’ω’)っ))

* The above image has the background sheet reinforced for photos

By the way, using the previous Nendoroid  Toru Oikawa as an example, you’ll find this background sheet inside the box…

After you’ve pulled the figure out…

This blue part!! ( ´>ω<`)

You can use it as a background as soon as you take it out the box!

Be sure to add the Grand King’s school uniform version to your collection!
Nendoroid Toru Oikawa: School Uniform Ver. !

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Only three days left until WonFes?! We are busy preparing all sorts of new announcements, so stay tuned!! ☆

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku &
Nendoroid Lev Haiba!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

These two were both announced for preorder together today!!

Let’s take a closer look at each of them! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku!

“It’s a huge thing to play as a libero for a team know as ‘Defensive Nekoma’.”

The reliable libero for Team Nekoma, with his short eyebrows and short hair! His iconic uniform has also been faithfully converted to Nendoroid size! You can easily pose him defending for the team and showing off his receiving skills! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

Along with the standard smiling face plate above, he comes with these two alternate options! (｀・ω・´) 

◆ Serious Face ◆ 

Using the long stands included with the Nendoroid you can easily create dynamic attack scenes like this!

◆ Concerned Smile ◆ 

As he is always worried about the rest of the younger members in his team, this allows you to display him looking a little concerned, but still with a smile on his face. (・∀・;)

Orders of  Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Morisuke Yaku – Nekoma’s Reliable Libero ver. as a bonus!

　⇒ Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku

Nendoroid Lev Haiba! 

“So if we beat them, we’ll be the best in Japan?!”

His neat and tidy silver hair, lovely green eyes and confident look have all been kept in Nendoroid form! Just like Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima he is a little bit taller than other Nendoroids. He also comes with a special translucent part to recreate his “whip-like” spike! ♥

▲ Too fast to even see the power in his spike!

Along with his standard face, he also comes with these two face plates…

◆ Smiling Face ◆

A lovely smile perfect for when he has his favorite food, which is also included with the Nendoroid! A plate with three inari sushi as well as some chopsticks! The very top inari sushi can also be removed and placed elsewhere! ♫

It can even be used on the hand that normally holds the volleyball to display him holding it with his hand!

▲ Passing one over to Yaku by hand?!

◆ Worried Expression ◆ 

Lev is known as the self-proclaimed ace of his team, but in actual fact there are quite a lot of basic skills he may be a little lacking on. He includes this rather worried expression for when things don’t quite go as expected! (/ω＼)

Orders of  Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Lev Haiba – Nekoma’s Ace? Ver.  as a bonus!

　⇒ Nendoroid Lev Haiba!

Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku &
Nendoroid Lev Haiba!

Both are currently up for preorder!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

Plus! If you order them both together…

Yaku-san’s Love Whip (A Lower Body Part for Kicking Pose) will also be included as a bonus!

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ☆

We now have a total of four characters from Nekoma High School!

* Kuroo is making use of some of Kenma‘s arm parts.

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We’re now into July and the heat is already starting to become unbearable! I hope everyone is taking care during these hotter months!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Wakatoshi Ushijima!

“It doesn’t matter who they are. We will take them on.”

The “undisputed champion” and ace of Shiratorizawa High School’s Volleyball Club, Wakatoshi Ushijima is joining the Nendoroid series! Even in Nendoroid form that sincere and stoic personality comes through so nicely! His standard pose above also has him clinging to the volleyball with one hand in a pose very befitting to his character!

As with all the previous team captains, he comes complete with his team jersey to display on his shoulders! ★

The sleeves even have ball joints in them allowing for slightly different nuances as they blow about in the wind! (∩・∀・)∩

Although it is a little hard to see in the photos, another thing to note is that his hair has an ever so slight brown-green gradient effect!

The coloring has been very carefully balanced to both capture his unique highlights and look good in Nendoroid size! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

He comes with a large selection of interchangeable arm parts  as well as a three-joint stand which can be used to recreate his jumps and moves on the volleyball court!

Jumping up…

Carefully aiming, and…

…going for the shot!!!

You can pose him going through the complete motion of spiking the volleyball!

As you can see from the photo above he even comes with effect parts to show how much force he is spiking the ball with!! ☆

▲ You can see why they say he has the force of a cannon!

Plus, along with the standard face plate above…

He also comes with this relaxed looking smiling face as well as a water bottle for some break scenes, as well as…

A face plate showing off his confidence based on a certain scene from the series! I took this photo with less light than normal to bring out that dark look to better suit the scene!!

Here is is displayed with Nendoroid Hinata! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Hinata is a final product while Wakatoshi is still a prototype which makes him a little bigger, but the final products will correctly show their differences in height!

Be sure to add the cute little undisputed champion to your collection!
Nendoroid Wakatoshi Ushijima!

He’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

In addition, purchases from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Wakatoshi Ushijima Undisputed Champion Ver. as a bonus!

Be sure to consider it when preordering!

Also don’t forget that figma Hinata is also currently up for preorder! ☆

Plus Nendoroid Lev Haiba and Nendoroid Morisuke Yaku are currently in the works!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I recently have an uncontrollable urge to eat ramen! I’m generally more of a tonkotsu ramen person, but sometimes I’ll go for the more lightly flavored shoyu ramen.

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Daichi Sawamura! ★

“We’ll never win if we don’t believe we can.”

The reliable captain of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club who always keeps the teams spirits up, Daichi Sawamura is joining the adorable Nendoroid series! He is in fact the 13th Nendoroid to be released!!

⇒ HAIKYU! PRODUCTS

But let’s get back to Daichi-san!

Like most of the Nendoroids in the series so far he is sculpted wearing his volleyball uniform, but as he is the captain he also comes with his sports jersey with the school symbol to hang on his shoulders! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ The two guardians of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club

Note that all the previously released team captains have also comes with the jersey over their shoulders: Nendoroid Toru Oikawa, Nendoroid Tetsuro Kuroo and Nendoroid Kotaro Bokuto!

This is how he looks from the back!

▲ The sleeves blowing behind him are perfect!

Moving on, let’s take a look at his face plates!

Along with the gallant smile above he comes with two other options! The first of which is a serious expression which is perfect for displaying him during a match! ε- (´ー`*)

Carefully eyeing the ball to ensure he hits it just right! He does look like he is enjoying himself though! Plus as you may have noticed he comes with a squatting lower body which allows you to display him receiving the ball with all his strength!

If we take a look from behind…

You can get a little peek at his back!

The figure stands just 10cm in height but the soft appearance of uniform as it moves around to reveal his back has been faithfully included!

The confident expression together with his crossed-arm pose also makes for a very nice display!

▲Somehow he seems cuter when you look down from a higher angle!

You’ll also notice that as usual he comes with a special rectangular  volleyball court case as well as a volleyball for in-match scenes, but that’s not all!

He also comes with a Karasuno High School Volleyball Club Support Flag!

A lovely addition by the figure’s planner, Moe-P!

The flag ready to cheer his team to victory has been beautifully sculpted to give it that cloth-like appearance! The kanji reads “Tobe” which can mean both “Jump” and “Fly” – jump high and fly to victory! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

But anyway, let’s move on to this third and final face plate!

A Malicious Smile!

This is perfect to recreate the hand-shaking scene with Kuroo!  They may look like they are smiling but you can feel the tension between the captains… just look at the tense mark on his hand!

But at the same time if you pose him with this expression and his own team mates it can easily be taken as just a normal smiling face!

▲ Fist Bump! ☆

Recreate your favorite scenes and even create your own situations in Nendoroid size!

Be sure to add the reliable spiker to your collection!
Nendoroid Daichi Sawamura!

He will be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Be sure to keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company website for details!

In addition, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include this Nendoroid Plus Rubber Strap: Daichi Sawamura Reliable Captain Ver. as a bonus! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I like my french fries freshly fried! I tend to eat two or three at once and feel a little extravagant! *nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Tadashi Yamaguchi!

“What more do you need than pride?!”

The pinch server for Karasuno High School Volleyball Club’s who always takes his practice seriously, Tadashi Yamaguchi is joining the adorable Nendoroid series of figures! ☆

This is in fact the 12th Nendoroid from the series!

⇒ Haikyu! Product Listing

I look forward to seeing who will be next! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

But let’s head back to Yamaguchi!

▲ Posed calling out to Tsukki!

His rather unkempt hair with a tint of green and his freckled face have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size! The open mouth with his top teeth showing is so very cute too!! ★

Along with this standard smiling expression above, he also comes with a more serious expression for when he is in a match, ready to perform his jump float serve!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Making use of the Nendoroid stand you can pose him just before he strikes the ball!!

Bent arm and leg parts are also included which can be mixed and matched to recreate all sorts of different scenes both in volleyball matches and for more casual scenes!  (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

▲ The contrast between his smile and this expression is lovely!

The word Yamaguchi says most often in a day is said to be “Tsukki”, so it only makes sense to display him together with Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima!

▲ Nendoroid Kei Tsukishima (Released August 2016)

* Yamaguchi is a prototype and Tsukki is a final product making the sizes slightly different.

You can easily pose Yamaguchi boasting about Tsukki’s amazing talent!

His third expression is this lovely cheerful expression! ♪

It’s perfect for these scenes with Tsukki, but can also be used for all sorts of other situations as well! I can just imagine a victory pose with that smile as well!!

Last but not least…

▲ You can see the floppy yellow sticking out above his shoulder!

He comes with his favorite food: floppy fries !ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

Another item that matches with his smiling face plate perfectly!! Each and every one of the fries has been sculpted with a lovely floppy appearance to ensure he is happy!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

▲ The fact that he is holding it with two hands is also cute!

Just look how cute he is!! ☆

▲ Just looking at this brought a smile to your face!

Be sure to add the hard working blocker to your collection!
Nendoroid Tadashi Yamaguchi!

He’ll up for for preorder from tomorrow!

Be sure to keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company and ORANGE ROUGE websites for more information!
