1/8th Scale Warspite (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this 1/8th scale figure of…
Warspite!

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a 1/8th scale figure of the second Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, Warspite! The figure is based on the illustration of her that featured in the Kanmusu Catalogue Vol.3, which captures her in a majestic standing pose complete with her impressive ship parts.

The ship parts have been sculpted in intricate detail, and can be placed closer or further apart depending on how you wish to display her. The turrets are also all articulated allowing you to place them at the angle that you think suits best. A figure worthy of the name “The Grand Old Lady” – be sure to add her to your fleet!

“My name is Warspite, the second Queen Elizabeth-class battleship.”

The second Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, Warspite is joining the KanColle scale figure fleet!! Her lovely long blond hair and cute hairstyle have been captured carefully on both the front and back! ♪

Plus the impressive ship parts are huge!!

The turret batteries, planks on the deck, cranes and everything else have all been sculpted in such careful detail!! ε-(o´ω｀o)

▲ You can also open out the sides to display them wider apart!

The staff shaped like a mast that she holds has also been sculpted with amazing attention to detail!! ☆

▲ The careful balance of her fingers is also lovely!

The large turrets on the sides are also articulated allowing you to place them in any angle that suits your collection!

▲ This is the standard angle, but you can easily twist it around!

To contrast the cold metallic look of her ship parts, we can look to her lovely warm and soft looking skin!!

▲This area around her shoulders is fantastic!

Her impressive bust and unique outfit look great from above, but looking from a lower angle is just as impressive!

▲ Each and everyone of her fingernails has been carefully painted! ♪

Even though Warspite has a rather compelling body, there is something about her design that makes her look so elegant at the same time! She has such a regal appearance!

The design of the figure is based on an illustration from the Kanmusu Catalogue Vol.3 which really did feature her in a very majestic pose!

Here is a size comparison with her Nendoroid!

▲ Nendoroid Warspite (Released December 2017)

Here is one of my favorite details on the figure!! ☆

The creases in her socks just under the knees!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

There is something about this crease that really makes it feel like these socks are being “worn”. It adds a lovely realistic aspect to the figure!!

I think most people will first focus on the huge ship parts, and her impressive bust and other details above her hips, but there is actually a lot of really impressive details on her legs and feet that need to be seen as well!!

▲ Note the ankle bone on her foot captured with both sculpt and shadows.

Plus, although it is a little hard to see in the photo, if you look close you can see the tension in her Achilles tendon from using high heels!!

Be sure to take a closer look at all the details once she joins your collection! ♪

Add the impressive British-born ship to your collection!

The 1/8th Scale…
Warspite!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

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

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We’re reaching the end of the year, which means it is almost time for GSC to start the big end-of-year clean up around the offices. I can’t say I’m looking forward to it…

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Abukuma Kai-II!☆

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the upgraded version of the Nagara-class light cruiser, Abukuma Kai-II! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a half-damaged expression as well as a flustered expression. She comes with turret firing and torpedo effects, as well as a water skiing effect parts to display her maneuvering along the seas!

A miniature Daihatsu landing craft is included together with beach parts to display it on and a miniature Kouhyouteki submarine with water effect parts are also included allowing you to really bring out the KanColle world in your collection! The ship parts are also highly detailed, and the part attached to her arm can even slide out! Be sure to add the easy-to-use light cruiser to your fleet!

“Nendoroid Abukuma, ready to meet your expectations!”

The upgraded version of the sixth Nagara-class light cruiser, Abukuma Kai-II is joining the Nendoroid KanColle Fleet! The cute school uniform-esque outfit complete with a ribbon on her chest has been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size for Admirals around the world to enjoy in their collection!! ♪

Her characteristic hairstyle has also been shrunk into Nendoroid proportions, but looks just as adorable as ever! Note that the left and right sides are slightly different, just like in her illustration! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

In addition, the twintails are attached with a ball joint allowing them to be moved around to match various different poses!

Optional parts include a Kouhyouteki submarine with water effect parts  to display her sneaking up on the enemy!! ★

▲ Her standard expression is so cool and confident!! (・∀・)ｲｲ!!

Moving on to her second face plate, we have a pained expression based on her half-damaged expression!!

In addition, she also of course comes with the standard turret firing effect parts as well as torpedo firing effect parts allowing for amazing battle scenes!!!

But that’s not all!!

This time around we also decided to include water skiing effect parts which allow you to display her as if she was gliding along the ocean at high speeds!! ♪

Moving onto her third face plate…

“Everyone, follow my lead!!”

“Noooo!! I said follow MY lead!!”

A flustered expression made in the image of the above line!!! You can just imagine her cute voice looking at this face!!

In addition, she comes with a Daihatsu landing craft part and a beach part to display it landing!! ♪

▲ You can just imagine the little KanColle helpers on the landing craft!

As you may have noticed, the arm ship parts slide out like so! ☆

▲It’s a small gimmick, but it’s a lot of fun!

The shore part included for the landing craft is also nicely detailed!

▲ It attaches onto one of the corners of the Nendoroid base!

In summary, these parts are included with Abukuma Kai-II!

◆ Torpedo Firing Effect Parts
◆ Turret Firing Effect Parts
◆ Water Skiing Effect Parts

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

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My Twitter account has reached 70000 followers! A big thank you to everyone who follows me!! Today I’m going to be taking a look at this product that went up for preorder earlier today…
Nendoroid Kongo Kai-II!☆

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the upgraded form of the first Kongo-class battleship’s upgraded form – Kongo Kai-II! She comes with three face plates including her standard expression, a winking face as well as a doubtful expression.

Optional parts include a selection of cannon firing effect parts as well as some freshly baked scones for tea time! These can be used together with the tea set included with the previously released Nendoroid Kongo for an even more complete tea time! The ship parts are also highly articulated allowing them to be moved into all sorts of different poses! Be sure to add this upgraded form of Kongo to your fleet!

“Yes! Let me show you my full potential!”

The battleship that was built in Britain by Vickers Shipbuilding Company, Kongo has returned to the Nendoroid series in her upgraded Kai-II version!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

All of the changes on the Kai-II design such as the decoration on her chest and the different Alice band parts have all been faithfully included on the design, plus…

The ship parts that that kind of bend around her have also been faithfully shrunk into Nendoroid size! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

This time around the end part of the ship parts features a drawer joint so that it can be deployed further out, allowing for various different posing options!

Before and after it has been deployed outward it can also move to the left and right allowing for a huge amount of customization! ♪

This is what the drawer effect looks like from the top!

The shield part and center part of both the left and right sides also feature a double joint that allow the part to be moved vertically and horizontally! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

As with all the previous KanColle Nendoroids, she also comes with a nice selection of firing effect parts for powerful attack parts, and also comes with a winking expression! ★

▲ You can also bring the shield parts around like this!

She also comes with…

Freshly baked scones!! ★

All of the Nendoroids in the KanColle series have almost always come with some kind of food part, and this time around Kongo comes with scones!! Just look at the golden brown top and overall delicious appearance!! She even comes with oven mitts to take the hot tray out of the oven! ♪

“Admiral! Would you like a freshly baked scone?”

She also comes with a doubtful expression that suits the above line so nicely! She looks a little unsure, with that open mouth looking so cute!

You could instead switch it over to the winking expression which makes the line “I made scones! Waiting for you” fit better! ★

Various parts for all sorts of situations from the game as well as original poses!

The English born, Admiral-loving battleship!
Nendoroid Kongo Kai-II!

She is currently up for preorder!★

Nendoroid Murakumo (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

We’re only just getting to the end of Summer and my hay fever is already starting to act up… it hasn’t even got that cold yet!

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

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the fifth Fubuki-class destroyer, Murakumo! She comes with three face plates including a standard face, a half-damaged expression as well as a smiling face.

Her unique ship parts have been captured using translucent parts to bring out the feel of the material, and the arm has a wide range of articulation allowing it to be moved in all different directions. The standard turret firing effects as well as torpedo effects are both included allowing for various combat scenes as well!

In addition, she also comes with a scarf, glove and chocolates to display her based on her Valentines day illustration! Enjoy various different sides of her character in your collection!

“So, you’re the commander? I hope you’re up to the job.”

The fifth special class destroyer, Murakumo, is joining the Nendoroid series! Her cute expression with an open mouth, the long red tie with a sailor uniform, rabbit ear-like ship parts and the long arms with turrets attached have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size!

The back of her long hair is also fitted with an additional set of joints (areas circled in red) that make sure that her hair does not get in the way when posing the arms, while also allows for slightly more dynamic nuances!

The arms and turrets also move in all sorts of different ways! (っ’ω’)っ

They can all be moved to the once side as a kind of shield…

▲ Matches with her aloof half-damaged face plate! ☆

Or instead spread out far on both sides…

” Fools who get my in way… will sink!“

You can just imagine her cute voice when you pose her in a more battle ready pose like those above! Although the expression above is based on her half-damaged expression it also has quite a steadfast look to it that can also be used as a confident look for combat scenes! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

She also comes with turret firing and torpedo firing effect parts which bring out the heat of battle even more!

For her third face plate, we have a cute smiling expression!

While they both have a slight blush, the contrast between the half-damaged expression and this cute smile is such a lovely sight!!

Plus as I’m sure you’ve noticed, she also comes with a scarf, gloves and a box of chocolates to recreate her Valentine’s look! ♡

▲ The cute little balls of pink at the ends of her scarf are so cute! (*´ｪ`*)

The Valentine’s outfit can also be used with the half-damaged expression to create a perfectly tsundere scene!

Simply mix and match the parts until you find the Murakumo you like best! ♪

Be sure to add the cool and confident lone wolf to your collection!
Nendoroid Murakumo!

She will be up for preorder tomorrow, the 27th September 2017 which is also the anniversary of the ship’s launch!★

Preorders from the link above will include a ‘Nendoroid Murakumo’ Special Box Sleeve & Special Nendoroid Base & Clear Ocean Display Sheet!

▲ The base will be approx. 8cm x 8cm in size. The clear sheet is A4 in size!

We also have many more KanColle figures in the works, so stay tuned!!

Iowa Half-Damaged: Heavy Armament Ver. (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Max Factory’s…
Iowa Half-Damaged: Heavy Armament Ver.!

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a new addition to Good Smile Company and Max Factory’s “Wonderful Hobby Selection” series of top quality figures – the US Iowa-class battleship Iowa in her half-damaged version!

The damaged appearance of her ship parts such as the bent gun turrets, broken bow and bridge have all been carefully sculpted and painted to create a convincing damaged appearance! The torn tights showing off her soft looking skin, as well as her beautiful long blond hair and playful expression have been detailed to create a cute figure of Iowa for fans to enjoy by their side!

“Ouch! You hit me pretty hard…
but I’ll get my pay back! Just you wait!”

Perhaps one of the most impressive battleships ever built, the USA’s Iowa has been transformed into a half-damaged scale figure for fans to enjoy!

▲Golden blond hair, a stunning body and a playful wink!

Not to mention the ship parts that give the figure some really impressive volume! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Iowa has previously been released as both a Nendoroid and a figma with equally impressive ship parts included with both!

– Nendoroid Iowa –

▲Released April 2017

 

– figma Iowa –

▲ Released June 2017

The “half-damaged” figure lives up to its name with various little details all over to convey the damage! (´□｀｡)

▲ A chunk of metal taken out from the turret! (・∀・)

▲ The damage is not only sculpted, but also painted onto the design!

▲ Even the inside of parts that broken parts can
be seen when you look through the holes!♪

Of course the ship parts are only one side to this figure!! She also has a very beautiful body for fans to enjoy as well!! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

Her body looks so very soft and squeezable!! Just looking at her makes me reflexively want to reach and and touch her! (/ω＼)

The torn appearance of her mini-skirt and other damaged parts of her outfit have all been sculpted in lovely detail! Be sure to take a look from all sorts of angles once she joins your collection!

If you look up at her impressive bust from a lower angle you get a good feel for just how big and heavy the Iowa Battleship was!! ♥

Another area that I personally really like are her legs!!

Just look at the way the torn stockings are pressing against her skin!! It has been captured so beautifully! I want to run my finger along them and feel the bumps along the way!! (*´ｪ`*)

Be sure to add the USA Battleship to your collection!

Iowa Half-Damaged: Heavy Armament Ver.!

She is currently up for preorder!

Shigure Kai-II (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at BROCCOLI’s…
Kantai Collection -KanColle-: Shigure Kai-II!★

Kantai Collection -KanColle- is a simulation game where you take the role of an Admiral and build up your fleet of characters based on famous destroyers, cruisers, aircraft carriers and more! The series has also been made into an anime series and movie, and an arcade version of the game is also currently available in arcades!

From the game that started the battleship and anthropomorphic boom comes a 1/8th scale figure of the second Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, Shigure Kai-II, based on an official original illustration! The figure comes complete with an interchangeable crying face to fully complete the original illustration.

“Stop it! That hurts!”
A scale figure of the  Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, Shigure Kai-II based on an official original illustration!

⇒MORE DETAILS & PHOTOS!

The single barreled cannon in her left hand has a steam of smoke coming out from it!

The smoke makes use of translucent parts creating a nice accent to the figure while also bringing out the atmosphere of the series! From the back you also get a nice contrast between her heavy ship parts and her soft looking skin!

Plus just look at the worried expression on her face!

The expression together with the way she is grasping at her chest shows she is rather uneasy! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Which is exactly why I am here to help protect her!!

The right side of her outfit has been damaged with a large tear showing off the bare skin of her left flank! (/・ω＼)

If you look close you can see the bumps on her skin from her rib cage in the opening, and if you look even closer you’ll even get a peek at her belly button!

(If you’re having trouble seeing it in the photo, here is a closer shot!)

* The above has the red ribbon part removed for a closer look, however this ribbon will not be removable on the final product.

The back of her knees are also sculpted beautifully!

The sculpt looks so very realistic even this close up!

The complexion and and ups and downs of the sculpt all come together to make for a lovely appearance!

Along with her lovely body, the sculpt of her ship parts and outfit are also very nicely done! Be sure to take a nice close look at all of the details once she joins your collection! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

▲ Take a look from any angle you like! ♪

Also take note of the figure’s base! ☆

It is based on the compass from the game!

The areas she is standing on have cracks where the glass has broken!

Plus, the figure also comes with an alternate crying face part in order to fully recreate the original illustration that the figure was based on! ε=(｡・д・｡) 

I always love getting a second face option with scale figures! 

Simply select the expression you prefer, or even switch it out once every few days for a different feel! Be sure to add the damaged destroyer to your collection!

Nendoroid Mutsu (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

When it gets as hot as today, even I feel like going for a swim which is completely out of character for me! But for now I’ll settle with staying inside and enjoying some ice-cream…!

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

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a Nendoroid of the second Nagato-class battleship, Mutsu! She comes with a variety of turret firing effect parts ideal for combat scenes, as well as a heart-shaped smoke effect part which goes together with her winking face plate perfectly for a cuter pose!

She also comes with a bottle of whisky and a glass as the standard KanColle food parts! A half-damaged face plate is also included for more flustered poses, together with an explosion effect part which can be placed on her turret! Recreate all sorts of scenes in Nendoroid size!

“My turn? Okay, let’s do this!”

One of the “Big 7 Battleships” as well as the second Nagato-class battleship, Mutsu is joining the KanColle Nendoroid Fleet! The iconic chain wrapped around her leg is an actual chain, allowing it to be moved in various different positions for different poses! (σ・∀・)σ

While everyone tends to notice her impressive arms before anything else, if you take a look at her outfit from the back you can see she has a nice, simple looking outfit! The characteristic points at the back of her hair have also been nicely preserved in Nendoroid size! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

As usual, the turret batteries on her ship parts can all be rotated around and each of the turrets are also individually articulated for lots of flexibility!

“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe… FIRE!“

She also comes with a large selection of firing effect parts to create a more powerful looking attack pose! Plus, along with the standard expression above, he also comes with two more face plates!

First, an adorable Winking Expression is included!

In addition to the expression a heart made from smoke as well as special hand parts are included which allows you to place her as if blowing a kiss, with heart and all! Or quickly switch up poses for a “It’s our Secret!” kind of pose!

As you can see from the above, the ship parts can also be removed for a much lighter looking appearance ideal for more casual situations! ★

Moving on to her final face plate…

“I-I’m not going to explode! Don’t worry!“

A face plate based on her half-damaged appearance from the game! In addition, she also comes with an explosion effect part for her third turret which makes the worried looking expression more believable!

Plus, all KanColle Nendoroids come with food or drink parts, so…

Mutsu comes with a bottle of whiskey and a glass with ice!★

How could anyone say no to an adorable face like this?!

Be sure to add the powerful yet cute battleship to your collection! ♡
Nendoroid Mutsu!

Up for preorder from tomorrow!

Preorders from the link above will include a ‘Nendoroid Mutsu’ Special Box Sleeve & Special Nendoroid Base & Clear Ocean Display Sheet!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The office has really started to get restless with all the WonFes preparations! Just over a week until the big day!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Shigure: Casual Ver.!

From the popular browser game “Kantai Collection -KanColle-” comes a 1/7th scale figure of the second Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, Shigure, wearing a casual outfit. The figure is based on an illustration found on a poster included in the November 2016 edition of NYANTYPE Magazine, with the lower half of the figure that was never visible on the illustration sculpted with an original interpretation.

The base of the figure has a pile of autumn leaves by her feet to bring out a late autumn atmosphere as Shigure sits on a wooden fence ready to enjoy her day off from the fleet. Be sure to enjoy her company in your collection!

“Admiral, it’s starting to get a little cold out, isn’t it? I’ll be alright.”

A figure based on an illustration on a poster included with the November 2016 edition of NYANTYPE Magazine, including some original interpretation of the lower half of the figure! This was a figure made mostly due to the fact that the planner for the figure had fallen in love with the original illustration! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

While the figure does have a bit of a boyish appearance, the ladylike elements of Shigure’s body and her casual outfit have all been faithfully preserved! Plus just look at the details put into the creases on her outfit! They look amazing!

The sculpt of the outfit around her hips captures how the outfit fits to her body so well… plus also take note of the slightly crumpled look of the shirt at the be upper arms!!

The frills at the bottom of her vest and the pleats of her skirt are also stunning, and all come together to make such a beautiful wardrobe!!

She is posed leaning against a wooden fence with one leg up in a rather relaxed looking pose, and those bare legs are just the right thickness – not too thin, but just the right size to keep that soft and touchable looking appearance! The dent formed at the back of her knee has also been sculpted so perfectly you can’t help but want to slide your finger along it!

Next let’s take a look at her hair and facial expression! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ

First of all note the iconic tied up hair over her shoulder! Her hair also looks a lot more ruffled than normal, further enhancing the casual look of the figure! ♪

Plus that cute open mouth!

It’s as if she was standing there waiting for her Admiral to arrive, and just as she saw him she inadvertently said “Ah”! (In my mind the story continues with the Admiral not noticing Shigure and wandering around looking for her for awhile)

The figure really does capture the scene so nicely, telling a whole story with just the one single figure!! Also take note of the details of the various accessories and details around her! For instance the camera on a strap around her neck….

The shiny-looking shoes…

The cute shoulder bag with red stitching…

And even the piles of Autumn leaves that set the season for the figure!

Be sure to take a nice close look at all the details once she joins your collection! ヽ(*´Д｀*)ﾉ

There are even details to note on the painting side of things! Even the leaves at the bottom – while mostly yellow – feature some shade of green on them, adding an extra little bit of realistic detail to the figure! ♪

If you match the angle with her gaze you get a nice upward glance peeking up over the glasses, and the higher angle also captures the details of the original illustration beautifully – note the slight slopes around her chest as well as the way the clothes distort to match them!

Truly a figure that can be enjoyed from all sorts of different angles! Be sure to find your personal favorite once she joins your collection!! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Enjoy a casual autumn day together with Shigure!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Nendoroid Kiyoshimo (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a Nendoroid of the 19th Yugumo Class Destroyer, Kiyoshimo! She comes with three face plates including an energetic smile, a half-damaged expression with her cheeks puffed up as well as an excited expression with sparkling eyes. The front and back of her hair are painted with different colors to faithfully capture her original design.

Optional parts include various turret and torpedo firing effect parts as well as a depth charge with effect parts which allow her to take on all kinds of ships including submarines! In addition, she also comes with a yellow umbrella to recreate her “Rainy Season” illustration, as well as a box of throwing beans for her “Setsubun” illustration. Be sure to add the destroyer that wants to be a battleship to your collection!

“Isn’t it about time you make me into a battleship?”

The Yugumo Class Destroyer Kiyoshimo has been transformed into an adorable Nendoroid! As with all the previous KanColle Nendoroids her ship parts have been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size, together with her outfit – from the frilly dress to the ribbon on her chest!

The deep blue inside color of her hair together with its iconic twists and curls have all been faithfully included!

▲ The tied up part at the back is also lovely! (・∀・)

She comes with three face plates, the first of which being the cheerful smile you can see above, and the second is this half-damaged expression with tears in her eyes! (´□｀｡)

The usual effect parts are also included with turret firing parts and torpedo launching parts all ideal for combat scenes!

Another thing to note about this expression is that the one side of her cheek is all puffed up with air! (/ω＼)

▲ Cute! So cute!! I just want to pet her!!

Plus along with the standard effect parts above, she also comes with a depth charge and depth charge splash effect part making her the ideal Nendoroid to take out submarines! ♪

▲ I love the splashing effect that gives a dynamic look!

Plus she also comes with this yellow umbrella to partially recreate her “Rainy Season” illustration! (∩・∀・)∩

Moving on to her third face plate… a sparkling eyes expression!

That glint in her eyes catches her curious personality perfectly! It works nicely with the umbrella parts too! ♪

*Playing swords with umbrellas is dangerous. Do not follow her example!

Last but not least…

“Evils out! Fortune in!”

She also comes with a box of setsubun beans to recreate her Setsubun illustration!

Here is a photo together with one of her battleship role models!

▲ Displayed with Nendoroid Musashi! (Released August 2016)

The sparkling eyes shows just how much she looks up to and admires the battleship!!

Be sure to add the Yugumo Class Destroyer to your collection!

Nendoroid Warspite (Kantai Collection -KanColle-)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

If I had to choose between tea or coffee, I would be on the tea side. Recently I’ve really been enjoying “KUSMI TEA” – they have so many different varieties!

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

From the popular browser game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes the first Nendoroid of a British ship – the second Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, Warspite! She can be posed sitting on her ship parts like a throne as in the illustration from the game, but also comes with interchangeable parts which allow you to pose her standing!

She also comes with effect parts to display her turrets firing, as well as a more stern face plate that can all be used to easily pose Warspite in battle scenes! As a British ship she also of course comes with a cup of tea, and the chalkboard from the classroom set is also included as a cardboard sheet to display beside her. Enjoy all sorts of situations in Nendoroid size!

“Battleship Warspite, heading out! Fleet, follow me!”

An adorable Nendoroid of the second Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, Warspite! She is also the first British ship to join the Nendoroids! ★

I must say that every time I look at the KanColle Nendoroid line-up I’m always amazed at how many characters have been released! Yet they are all so different and special in their own ways! (´□｀｡)


⇒ You can see the full listing here.

But let’s get back to Warspite! ♪

The iconic ribbon on her chest with a bit of a rosy look, the folded legs that give a slight peek at her bare skin and so much more details have all been shrunk into a 10cm tall figure! ♡

▲ Her impressive bosom is also very noticeable even in Nendoroid size!

As with some of the previous KanColle Nendoroids, her ship parts come with Nendoroid joints in the left and right sides and the turrets are rotatable, allowing for the parts to be moved around in all sorts of different ways! ε=(。・д・。)


▲ The left and right turrets can rotate around too!

As you can see, her ship parts are designed like a little throne for her to sit on…

However, if you transform the back piece so that the turret points outward…

 

The Nendoroid can be transformed into a standing mode more suited for combat scenes! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

In other words the Nendoroid can switch between two completely different ship part types allowing for even more posing opportunities! Plus the whole transformation also does not require you to add or remove any parts!

But that’s not all!

She also comes with a paper blackboard from the classroom set, together with a stand to display it beside her!

This would also look great with certain other KanColle Nendoroids as well! You can always switch parts around between them! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

As you can see from the previous photos, she can easily be displayed without the ship parts entirely, and you can also just take the seat part of her throne and display her with that only! ♪

As a British ship she also of course comes with a cup of tea, which matches the sitting pose very nicely and captures a more everyday kind of pose! ♡

You could pose her with the cafe counter kit from HACOROOM and create a lovely tea time scene! ★

▲ One of the first times I have ever used the filters
on my camera. It really brought out the mood!

 

Along with the parts above, she also comes with the standard turret firing effect parts as well as a face plate designed for combat scenes! (∩・∀・)∩

“Fire! fire!! fire!!!“

▲ The large ship parts showing off their power! ★

The shouting face can also have some other uses with the blackboard!!

Simply select the pose that you like best! ♪

Be sure to add the cute British ship to your collection!
Nendoroid Warspite!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Purchases of her from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also come with a ‘Nendoroid Warspite’ Special Box Sleeve & Special Nendoroid Base & Clear Ocean Display Sheet as a bonus!

▲ The base is the approx. 8cm x 8cm type. The clear sheet is A4 in size!

Be sure to consider it when preordering! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ
