Nendoroid Gambier Bay (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Gambier Bay

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the escort carrier Gambier Bay! She comes with three face plates including her standard expression, her smiling expression and her half-damaged expression.

Optional parts include two FM-2 planes, turret firing effects, mackerel pike from her Mackerel Pike Festival appearance, a bouquet from her Spring appearance and an Abyssal Lifebuoy. Be sure to add her to your collection!

“CVE-73, Nendoroid Gambier Bay r-reporting for duty! I’m scared…”

From “Kantai Collection -KanColle” comes a Nendoroid of the 19th Casablanca-class escort carrier Gambier Bay!

Her voluminous twintails, adorable camouflage floutfit and the 73 marks on her outfit and rigging have been carefully recreated!

▲Her impressive bust has also been perfectly recreated in Nendoroid form!

A part of her rigging can also be removed from the ship deck!

Combine with the firing effect part to recreate her nervous fighting pose! ◎

Two of her planes are included with support arms, allowing you to easily display them with her.

▲Star marks have been faithfully included on the wings!

As for her face plates, she comes with her nervous standard expression seen above as well as…

＼I can’t deal with this! No way! I am not good…／

…her half-damaged (＞＜) expression!

An adorable Abyssal Lifebuoy is also included! Be sure to pose them together!

▲I just want to protect her! Look at that innocent face!

Next up, as is standard with KanColle Nendoroids, a food part is also included!

It’s a delicious mackerel pike!

Chopsticks are also included, allowing you to easily recreate her appearance from the Mackerel Pike Festival illustration. ◎

It looks great with her smiling expression with her tongue out!

Additionally, a bouquet from her Spring appearance is also included!

I used her smiling expression for the above pictures, but hid her mouth with the flowers for a slightly different impression!

(With her standard expression, it looks like she’s nervous!)

Be sure to add her to your collection!

Kaga: Shopping Mode (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Today’s main feature…!

Planning Team: Takamii here (@gsc_takamii)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…
Kaga: Shopping Mode

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a scale figure of Aircraft Carrier Kaga in her Shopping Mode appearance! Based on the original Shopping Mode illustration, Kaga has been recreated enjoying her shopping trip with a calm and composed look on her face. The fine details and textures of her exquisite outfit have been faithfully captured. Be sure to add her to your collection!

“Ah, I guess it can’t be helped. Let’s go shopping.”

Kaga has arrived in her “Shopping Mode” outfit!

Haruna: Shopping Mode

Kashima: Shopping Mode

The next Shopping Mode figure to set sail is Kaga!

That white coat looks perfect on her, right?

Her fluffy earmuffs, cashmere scarf, black patent leather shoes and cute blue shoulder bag make for a luxurious look!

Let’s take a look at her face.

Kaga turns her gaze towards us. Or perhaps she spotted Akagi-san in a crowd?

Looking from here, you can see there’s a cute ribbon on the headband of her earmuffs.

Quite a style change for the typically cool Kaga-san!

By the way, the earmuffs are removable!

By the way, her earmuffs are removable! You can get a better look at her side-ponytail this way.

She looks great both ways so choose your favorite way to display!

Her scarf can be removed as well!

You can get a closer look at her turtleneck and the careful sculpting of her jacket collar.

You may have also spotted the beautful shining ring on her finger.

That too, of course, has been faithfully sculpted and painted!

Next, let’s take a look at her bag!

How fashionable and elegant!

The gradation of the paint on the bag gives it a leather-esque texture.

This is also removable, by the way!

As is standard with the Shopping Mode series, a KANCOLLE shopping bag is featured as well.

Moving on, take a look at one of my personal favorite parts of the figure, her black tights!

Slightly different to Kashima and Haruna, Kaga’s tights feature a slightly more opaque denier.

They’ve been carefully painted to give the impression that you can just barely see her bare skin underneath.

Her legs are beautiful from all angles!

Figures give you the chance to see characters in a way you could never see them in 2D, so be sure to take a look at every angle when you take her home!

Of course, the base features a marble pattern as is standard with the Shopping Mode series!

You can even see a slight reflection on the surface, like real polished marble!

It really looks like a high-class department store floor!

Be sure to add her to your collection!

Kaga: Shopping Mode

Available for preorder from the 25th of June!

Keep your eyes on the Good Smile Company official site for details!

Nendoroid Ise Kai-II (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Ise Kai-II

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the 1st Ise-class battleship in her remodeled aviation battleship form “Ise Kai-II”! She comes with three face plates including her standard expression, an attacking expression and a smiling expression!

For optional parts she comes with turret effect parts, an Aichi E16A, a torso part to show her with the upper layer of her kimono removed and her rigging, flexible for easy posing. Be sure to add her to your collection!

“Admiral, remodeled aircraft carrier Ise here. Ready to head out with my full-scale flight deck!”

Ise has been recreated in her Kai-II form, as a battleship converted to be able to launch planes like an aircraft carrier. ◎

Her flexible rigging contains plenty of points of articulation for easy posing. (∩´͈ ᐜ `͈∩)

KanColle Nendoroids usually have impressive rigging, but this one is just incredible with how articulated it is!

…It moves this much! ヽ(･ω･´(`･ω･´)ﾉ`･ω･)ﾉ

Create your own rigging formation when you take her home! ★

As for optional parts, she comes with an Aichi E16A and…

…turret firing effect parts!

▲Looks great paired with her attacking expression face plate!

Alternate torso parts are also included to display her with the top layer of her kimono off! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾

Use the included special arm parts to display her as though drawing her sword!

Using interchangeable parts, you can also display her sword totally unsheathed!

▲It’s also a nice touch how you can see where her kimono hangs at her waist!

As for her final expression, it’s her smiling expression!

I drew inspiration for this pose from the KanColle arcade game! ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

That somewhat smug expression is adorable!

You may have noticed, her headband is articulated for easy posing!

Be sure to add her to your collection!

Nendoroid Ise Kai-II

Available for preorder from the 25th of April (Thu)!

Kashima: Shopping Mode (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Kashima: Shopping Mode

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a scale figure of the Katori-class Training Cruiser Kashima, dressed up in a casual outfit to go out shopping! She’s dressed in a lovely low-cut top and sheer black tights, painted with extraordinary attention to detail. Be sure to add the charming Kashima to your collection!

“Ufufu… looks promising!”

Katori-class Training Cruiser Kashima has arrived in casual clothing as a “Shopping Mode” scale figure!

Dressed in a trench coat style jacket, a skirt with a cute ribbon at the waist and patent leather shoes, Kashima has a very chic and somewhat mature appearance, though she still has that cute, innocent look on her face.
ヾ(o´∀｀o)ﾉ

It’s as though she’s happy to have been able to buy exactly what she wanted while out shopping, or maybe happy to spend time with the admiral… either way her adorable smile just soothes your soul! ◎

The subtle wrinkles in her yellow top from tucking it into her skirt are visible as well!

Something about her just looks so… joyful! I love it! ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

Her unique hairstyle has been carefully recreated as well!

▲Her curled hair gentles flows, matching the subtle tilt of her head. (*´∀｀*)

By the way, you can see what she bought in her bags, wrapped in red wrapping paper! ♪

▲Look at the gradation of the bag strings! ◎

It might be a bit hard to see, but even fine details like her collarbone are beautifully sculpted!

Be sure to take a closer look when you take her home! One of my personal favorite parts about this figure is the translucent but matte appearance of her stockings!

Painted to look like real sheer stockings, they’ve also been painted to have a somewhat matte look to them, making for elegant and realistic looking legs.
ヾ(´∀｀*人*´∀｀)ﾉ”

That granite-esque base is beautiful as well!

▲It’s polished, so you can see a slight reflection in the base!

Also, Kashima’s hat is removable, allowing you to display her in two different ways! ◎

▲Without the hat she looks just a bit more casual! ₍₍( ´ ᵕ ` *)⁾⁾

Be sure to add her to your collection!

Kashima: Shopping Mode

Available for preorder from the 11th of December (Tue)!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here!! (@gsc_kahotan)

This weekend at Mega Hobby EXPO our WonHobby Gallery will be open!

Anyway, today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Atago

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the Takao-class heavy cruiser, Atago! She comes with three face plates including her standard expression, an attacking expression and a smiling expression. For optional parts, she comes with turret firing effects, an Aichi E13A seaplane as well as an o-toso sake set!

The positioning of her rigging can be changed using the specially equipped sliding mechanism unique to Nendoroids! Atago can also be displayed holding hands with Nendoroid Takao (sold separately) using the included joined hands part! Be sure to add both of the sisters to your collection and display them together!

“Pan-pakapakapakapakapaka-paaaan!”

From “Kantai Collection -Kancolle-” comes an adorable Nendoroid of the second Takao-class heavy cruiser, Atago!

Her flight attendant esque uniform, bright eyes and very heavily equipped bust have all been perfectly recreated in Nendoroid size! ♪

Her soft, flowing hair features artiuclation so it doesn’t get in the way of her rigging! ╭ ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

By the way, just like Nendoroid Takao, her rigging is attached to a slide mechanism making for easy posing!

▲Easily change the position of her rigging to match her pose!

She comes with three faceplates including her standard expression, a courageous-looking attacking expression and a smiling expression! ₍₍(∩´ ᵕ `∩)⁾⁾

Turret firing effect parts and an Aichi E13A seaplane are also included, so have fun mixing and matching them with her different expressions!

▲It kind of looks like she’s strategizing!

Like other KanColle Nendoroids before her, she also comes with food/drink parts! ٩( ᐛ )و

For Atago, an o-toso sake set is included, for drinking o-toso sake on New Year’s Day!

That glossy appearance really makes the set look like lacquerware. 〜(*´꒳`*)

The largest cup can be removed, so you can pose Atago drinking using the included special hand parts!

▲This looks like it would go great with Nendoroid Takao’s drink bottle optional part as well!

Finally, let’s take a look at one more part!

Yes! Joined hand parts are also included! The joined hand parts can be used to pose Atago with the currently available for preorder Nendoroid Takao!

Haruna: Shopping Mode (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Haruna: Shopping Mode!

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a scale figure of the third Kongo-class battleship Haruna, dressed up in a more causal outfit to go out shopping!

The pose of the figure is based on the half-damaged version of her shopping illustration from the game, but has her clothes in the undamaged version and a lovely smile on her face, creating a cute figure of Haruna enjoying her outing to the shops! The details and textures of her outfit have been carefully sculpted to create an intricate figure for admirals around are sure to enjoy by their side!

“You are so kind to me, Admiral! I really appreciate it!”

A scale figure of the third Kongo-class battleship Haruna dressed up in a more causal outfit to go out shopping!! ♪

The flow of her hair and skirt and she skips forward has been captured so nicely on the figure! There is such a playful atmosphere about the figure!!

Let’s take a quick spin around the figure!

▲ The whole figure has a lovely dynamic feeling to it while also
keeping such an elegant appearance for Haruna!

The front of her hair makes use of semi-translucent part which gives the hair a light – but not too light – appearance!

The well-fitted jacket, soft-looking skirt and the tights that are stretched to show her skin peeking though have all been sculpted and painted to bring out the various textures so effectively!

The figure has an overall monotone color scheme and a rather simple outfit, but the attention to detail really brings it to life! ε-(o´ω｀o)

Plus… just look at this face!

She is just too adorable!!

Ahh!! I don’t know what else to say! She’s just so cute!!

Imagine going out on a shopping date and having this happiness aura beside you! Any admiral would be proud to stand by and protect this smile no matter what the cost!

Also note the bag she is carrying actually does have some shopping inside!

While her chest is partially hidden behind the shopping bag, if you peek through the holes or look from the side you can see the beautiful curves!

Take a close look from all sorts of angles once she joins your collection!

Add the casually dressed Haruna to your collection!
Haruna: Shopping Mode!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Keep your eyes on the GSC Site for more details! We also have a similar figure of Kashima on the way…! (っ’ω’)っ))

Nendoroid Bismarck Kai (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello, everyone.

Kaho-tan here. ( @gsc_kahotan) And I just got an insatiable craving for coarse grain mustard!

Like I could eat it spread on a slice of bread… Delicious!

Well, moving on – today we’ll be taking a look at

Nendoroid Bismarck Kai!

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the upgraded version of the nameship of the Bismarck-class battleships – Bismarck Kai! The figure is designed based on the “Kai” version, but also includes parts which allow you to partially recreate the “zwei” and “drei” versions of her as well!

She comes with three face plate including a standard expression, a combat expression as well as am embarrassed expression. Optional parts include the standard turret firing effect parts as well as torpedo firing effect parts for displaying her in her “drei” form.

The ship parts are articulated to be highly flexible when posing, allowing you to move all her fire power to one side or instead balance it out evenly! The legendary black cat that is also included to display by her side! Be sure to add the very first KanColle Nendoroid based on a German ship to your collection!

“Gut. It’s my turn, now.”

“Kantai Collection -KanColle-” will celebrate its 5th anniversary on April 23. And just in time for the festivities, we present this cute little Nendoroid of the modified version of the prized German Bismarck series Super Dreadnaught name ship – Bismarck Kai!

And this even the large armaments have some articulation of their own! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

Each turret and its platform can rotate, and the range of motion for each arm has been extended.★

▲Look how far the upper arm can fold inwards!

For that reason, the rigging has to be firmly affixed to her shoulders…

You can even concentrate your firepower all on one side! (っ’ω’)っ))

Pair together with her battle expression for a relentless attack scene! ♪

And to make sure you can maneuver those huge armaments with ease, her long hair is outfitted with some joints as well! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

▲So it won’t get in the way of all those arms♪

And as the base design for this ship is the Kai, we’ve made it so that you can easily transform her into the “zwei” or “drei” by trading out a few simple parts! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

◆Simple zwei Transformation◆

Her arm bands have changed from red to gray, and the top part of the turrets has changed from red to dark gray!

We’ve also included a black cat – modeled after the legendary German cat who survived many a ship wreck!

It goes well with the embarrassed face – you can almost hear her protest being left behind!

◆Simple drei Transformation◆

The biggest difference between the zwei and drei is the weapon in her hand and the topedo tubes on sides of the ship.

▲It may be SD, but we’ve skimped on none of the details! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Pair with your trusty torpedo tube effects and navy aircraft to behold this little lady’s gallant stance with abandon!

▲Both navy aircraft and effect parts come with their own stands.

So why not show some love for this first German lass to join the Nendoroid fleet?

Nendoroid Haruna Kai-II (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Tomorrow is Setsubun, the day before the beginning of spring! Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Haruna Kai-II!

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the upgraded version of the third Kongo-class battleship, Haruna Kai-II! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a combat expression as well as a smiling expression. Optional parts include the usual turret firing effect parts as well as a bottle of champagne to celebrate over Christmas!

The ship parts also feature a large number of articulated points, allowing for all sorts of different posing options. The dazzle camouflage on her turrets has also been faithfully included on the Nendoroid design. In addition, she includes parts to display her in her summer swimsuit outfit for a quick change of atmosphere allowing for even more display options! Be sure to add the upgraded version of Haruna to your fleet!

“Nendoroid Haruna, heading out in full force!”

The upgraded version of the third Kongo-class battleship, Haruna Kai-II is joining the KanColle Nendoroid fleet!! Her iconic golden ribbon on her chest, the lovely red and white outfit as well as the dazzle camouflage on her turrets have all been captured on the Nendoroid design!! ♪

The ship parts once again feature all sorts of articulated parts allowing for all sorts of different posing opportunities! (∩・∀・)∩

Certain parts can slide out…

The side armor can be deployed outward…

Plus the turrets can of course all be moved around! The parts are really so much fun to play around with!! ε-(o´ω｀o)

Speaking of articulation, Haruna also features joints here!

The back of her hair!!

This allows you to easily create more dynamic poses with the wind blowing through her hair as if she were sailing out on the open seas!

Anyway, let’s move on to her alternate face plates! The face plate I used above is her standard expression, but she also comes with a confident shouting expression perfect for combat scenes!

“I won’t let you do whatever you like!”

This expression can be used with the included turret firing effect parts in order to create a powerful attacking pose!! ( ´>ω<`)

Then we have her third face plate…

A gentle smiling expression! ♥

I can just imagine her gentle voice talking to me when I look into those cute eyes! She also comes with a bottle of champagne based on her special line during Christmas!!

“Admiral, I’m going to open the champagne.”

Enjoy Christmas Eve together with your own little Haruna Kai-II!

Last but not least, she also comes with a rather special optional part! ☆

An alternate body part to display her in swimsuit mode!

▲ The tiny little sandals with tiny little ribbons are sculpted with great care! ☆

This body suits her smile so nicely! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

Enjoy all sorts of different sides to the powerful battleship! ♡
