Kanan Matsuura: Blu-ray Jacket Ver. (LoveLive!Sunshine!!)

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Kanan Matsuura: Blu-ray Jacket Ver.

From the anime series “Love Live!Sunshine!!” comes a 1/7th scale figure of Kanan Matsuura based on the illustration that was used as a jacket illustration for one of the Blu-rays of the first season!

Kanan smiling face is turned toward you as though speaking to you. You can feel her laid back personality. Kanan’s flowing hair has been carefully sculpted, presented with a detailed level of gradation.

The outside of her wetsuit features a glossy appearance, while the different texture of the inside is also clearly displayed. The contrast between this and her bare skin is just one of many highlights of this figure! Be sure to add her to your collection!

One of Aqours’ reliable senior members!

From “LoveLive!Sunshine!!” comes a 1/7th scale figure of the third year student of Uranohoshi Girls’ High School, Kanan Matsuura!

The unique sculpting captures Kanan’s pose as she turns to face the viewer!
( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

⇒Product details HERE

The figure captures the charm of the 6th Blu-ray jacket illustration from the 1st season.

Kanan sits on a half-circle shaped base in the image of a boat deck.

Below that, you can see acrylic parts have been added to represent the ocean water.

▲She’s been carefully sculpted all the way down to her feet!

The bright-eyed Kanan has a somewhat mature and relaxed aura about her.

She truly is a reliable senpai! (ﾉ｀・∀・)ﾉ

Her toned physique from helping out at home has been clearly sculpted as well!

Ruby Kurosawa: Blu-Ray Jacket Ver. (LoveLive!Sunshine!!)

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at

Ruby Kurosawa: Blu-Ray Jacket Ver.!★

From the anime series “LoveLive!Sunshine!!” comes a 1/7th scale figure of Ruby Kurosawa based on the illustration that was used as a jacket illustration for the one of the Blu-rays of the first season!

Ruby has been sculpted with her beautiful blue eyes wide open with a flustered look on her face as she runs along with an ice-cream cone in her hand. Her hair has been sculpted with a dynamic bounce as she runs along with one foot high up in the air as she struggles to keep her balance. The figure captures the motion of the perfect second in time for fans to enjoy by their side whenever they wish! Be sure to add her to your collection!

The fourth figure in the series is Ruby Kurosawa!

⇒PRODUCT DETAILS

BANDAI NAMCO ARTS and Good Smile Company teamed up to deliver Ruby Kurosawa: Blu-Ray Jacket Ver. under the brand With Fans!, a brand designed to create the goods that fans desire!

On the Blu-ray jacket illustration, Ruby is surprised at a small group of sea lions. (*´ｪ`*)

Her flustered appearance and lively motion have been well-represented in figure form. ◎

Her fluttering pigtails and ice cream about to spill over – all of the dynamic motion occurring in that single moment has been captured and plentifully displayed in the figure. ☆

▲That nearly spilled ice cream…! It makes you want to help her hold that cone without even thinking…!

Just look at her skirt hem and ribbon, appearing to flutter in the wind…

and then there’s the wrinkles on her dress around her waist, sculpted carefully to match the way her body twists.

It’s all made with such intricate detail! ((´д`●))三((●´д`))

The special base has also been designed with the Blu-ray jacket’s illustration in mind. ◎

▲The worn appearance of the stand is great too… ♪

Be sure to add the flustered Ruby to your collection!

You Watanabe: Blu-Ray Jacket Ver. (LoveLive!SunShine!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

While I did learn to swim, I never really understood the concept of crawl. The way you need to move your head from left to right to take air was always strange to me. (But I’m happy for it to stay that way.)

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…
You Watanabe: Blu-Ray Jacket Ver.!★

From the TV anime “Love Live! Sunshine!!” comes this 1/7 scale figure of You Watanabe. Taken straight off the season 1 Blu-ray jacket, with her thick hair delicately sculpted and featuring many layers of paint for the perfect sheen. With a natural pose taken right out of everyday life, you’ll definitely want to add her to your collection.

The second “With Fans!” Figure!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

A lovely figure of You Watanabe posed just as she is getting out of the pool based on the Blu-ray jacket from the series! This time around the figure was made with production assistance from Phat! Company! (http://www.phatcompany.jp/)

The water from the illustration is also partially included in the design with a clear board that can be placed on the stand! If you look from the front it really captures the in-the-water look quite nicely! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

▲ Be sure to find your own best angle once she joins your collection! ♪

Let’s take a little step back and take a look at what exactly “With Fans!” is!

A brand new series of figures made in collaboration between BANDAI NAMCO ARTS and Good Smile Company! Following on from Chika Takami we have this second figure of You Watanabe!

Anyway, let’s get back to the main feature! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Her very fit yet slender looking build has been captured in lovely detail, and the area behind her knees, the elbows and even her finger tips are all sculpted with such intricate detail!

▲ The figure let’s you enjoy areas that were never visible on the original illustration! ☆

You can also see her hair is painted with a bit of a wet look, together with the gleam on her swimsuit to show she has just got out of the water! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

▲A lovely smile as bright as the summer sun!

In addition, the goggles on the pool side are also included as a part of the figure!

▲ Plus just look at that cute little hand!! (・∀・)

Enjoy a refreshing figure of You Watanabe as she jumps out the pool!

Chika Takami: Blu-ray Jacket Ver. (LoveLive!Sunshine!!)

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the first “With Fans!” product…
Chika Takami: Blu-ray Jacket Ver.!

The first in the “With Fans!” series of figures is LoveLive!Sunshine!!’s Aquors member Chika Takami! She has been sculpted in 1/7th scale based on the illustration that was used as a jacket illustration for the Blu-ray release of the series! She has a lovely cheerful smile on her face as she dashes along a beach.

The figure captures all the details of the original illustration as faithfully as possible, but also allows you to see all the angles that were never visible on the illustration! Be sure to enjoy the intricately detailed figure in your collection and look forward to more releases from WithFans! coming soon!

The first in a series of figures of the Aqours members based on the respective Blu-ray jacket illustrations!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

The dynamic posing of the jacket illustration certainly was not one of the easiest poses to convert into figure form, but Chika has been captured in lovely detail from all sorts of different angles! ♪

▲ Enjoy her at angles that were never visible on the illustration! ε-(o´ω｀o)

The dazzling smile on her face as she dashes along the beach captures Chika’s cheerful and energetic personality so nicely!

Just looking at her makes me crack a smile as well!

Although you can’t see it from the front angle, her school bag is also included in amazing detail and even features the cute strap! ♥

▲ The ability to view from any angle is what makes figures so special! (´□｀｡)

Her Summer uniform has been sculpted with care to preserve the fabric-like appearance with creases that capture the motion of her body. Her soft, healthy looking skin has also been captured in lovely detail!

▲ I personally love the curve of her arm between her elbow and wrist!

But anyway, lets get back to Chika Takami: Blu-ray Ver.! ♪

The figure also has a lovely base that captures the atmosphere of the beach from the Blu-ray cover, with a splash in the water as she jumps up out of the water!!

Also take note of the trademark ribbon and braid of her hair on one side and the four-lead clover hairpin on the other side, all sculpted and painted with great care to capture the most iconic parts of her character!

From this angle you can also see the movement that is captured by the sculpt of the headphone cable as well as the red scarf part of her uniform!

The motion also means that her shirt is blowing about giving a lovely peek at her belly button and also her back! (・∀・)ｲｲ!!

▲ You can just feel the sea breeze!

It’s a figure that captures all of Chika-chan’s charm for fans to enjoy from any angle they please! ♥

The first figure in the “With Fans!” series, with many more to come! ☆

Nendoroid Mari Ohara (LoveLive!Sunshine!!)

Ciao everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at a character who not only celebrated her birthday today but also her announcement as a Nendoroid!

Nendoroid Mari Ohara!

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Aqours member Mari Ohara wearing her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’!

She comes with both a cute, cheerful face plate as well as a mischievous smile for when she teases the other members! A selection of different parts are also included which allow you to pose her in different dance poses from the opening theme of the anime series! Be sure to enjoy her together with the other members of Aqours!

Shiny! ☆

The Italian American who is a third-year at Uranohoshi Girls’ High School, Mari Ohara is joining the Nendoroids! ♪

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

With her announcement we have all the members of Aquors as Nendoroids!! Just like the previous members she is dressed up in her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’, and the details on her hair accessories and outfit are so beautifully sculpted!

▲It’s a bit hard to tell, but her belly button is faithfully sculpted on!

Her braided hair layered along the top of her head as well as the curl on the one end has also been faithfully captured! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ The silky looking tips of her hair also look great in Nendoroid size! ♪

She also comes with a selection of bent arm and leg parts which allow you to pose her in some of the dancing scenes from the opening theme of the anime…

And also allow for all sorts of original poses as well! ♥

▲ Create your very own idol poses!

Along with the lovely smiling face you see above, she also comes with a rather mischievous looking pose for even more posing potential! ♡

The shape of her mouth is so cute!

Mari looks great all alone, but of course it is even more fun to display her together with other Aquors members and recreate your favorite scenes between them! ♪

▲ This playful expression can be used for all sorts of different poses!

Be sure to add the adorable challenger who knows no fear to your collection!

Nendoroid Mari Ohara!

She is currently up for preorder!

⇒ PRODUCT DETAILS

She also looks great with another item that went up for preorder today…
Dioramansion 150: Beach

Connect, stack and display your favorite figures with these assemblable background panels!

Displaying figures with a special display often makes a collection look more appealing, but at the same time preparing a special display case is a huge amount of effort. We heard the cries for an easier display option and created this Dioramansion series of display backgrounds! They are simple to use and can be used as a photography kit or simply as a complete display background!
There are various different ways to connect the plates together allowing you to easily create your own customized display space for your figures! These new additions to the Dioramansion series are 150mm x 150mm in size which works great with Nendoroid figures!

⇒ See the complete Dioramansion 150 line-up here!

Nendoroid Kanan Matsuura (LoveLive!Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can’t even remember the last time I played by the ocean. That said, I can’t swim so most of my time at the beach is spent collecting shells.

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

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Aqours member Kanan Matsuura wearing her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’!
She comes with both a cheerful face plate as well as an embarrassed face plate for when others make fun of her! A selection of different parts are also included which allow you to pose her in different dance poses from the opening theme of the anime series! Be sure to enjoy her together with the other members of Aqours!

“Let’s… hug?”

The third year student at Uranohoshi Girls’ High School and Chika’s childhood friend, Kanan Matsuura is joining the Nendoroids! This marks the 8th Nendoroid of Aquors members – just one more to go! ♡

Her iconic ponytail has been faithfully included and is attached with a Nendoroid joint allowing for all sorts of different nuances while posing! ♪

▲ The rather short jacket gives you a peek at some bare skin! ♡

Just like the previous Aquors members Kanan is wearing her ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’ outfit, but unlike the others her outfit has a cute opening that shows off her belly button! (/ω・＼)

▲ The figure stands just 100mm in height! That little belly button is tiny!

She also comes with various interchangeable hand parts to recreate the dance scenes from the opening theme! ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

▲ I WANT to hug her!

She also comes with a special hand part to display her pointing!

▲ It really makes her look so cheerful and energetic! (●‘∀‘●)ﾉ”

Moving on to her second face plate!

A rather lovable embarrassed expression! ♪

The rather scornful look in her eyes and upset eyebrows also make it look a bit like an upset expression, but the blush on her cheeks shows she just trying to hide her embarrassment! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

▲ I can just imagine who is at the end of this gaze!

You can also make it look a bit like an assertive pose if you change the pose a little bit! ♪

Simply find the pose that you think suits best! ♡

Be sure to add the cool and composed Aquors member to your collection!
Nendoroid Kanan Matsuura!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♡

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a special Stage Base & Small and Large Nendoroid Base Extension Parts as a bonus! ☆

*Only a single stage base is included. Both extension parts are included.

Be sure to consider it when preordering! (∩・∀・)∩

Nendoroid Dia Kurosawa (LoveLive! Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

This season always brings lots of green tea-flavoured deserts and snacks which make my days so much happier!! (*´﹃｀*)

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

From the anime series ‘LoveLive!Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Aqours member Dia Kurosawa wearing her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’! She comes with both an elegant smiling face plate as well as an upset, blushing face plate for when she gets annoyed with the other Aqours members! A folding fan is also included which can be held over her mouth to add a different feel to each of the expressions!!

A selection of different parts are also included which allow you to pose her in different dance poses from the opening theme of the anime series! Be sure to enjoy her together with the other members of Aqours! ♪

“That’s absurd!!”

The student council president at Uranohoshi Girls’ High School who aims for complete perfectionism – Kurosawa Dia is joining the Nendoroid series!! ♡

Looking from the back you can see the attention put into the smaller details such as her earrings and the frills on her dress!! You can also enjoy her lovely long and silky hair as it flows behind her!! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ三ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

▲ Even the hat is subtly detailed!

This also means that we have finally moved into the third year members of Aqours! You can see all the previous releases below! ヽ(●´Д｀●)ﾉ

She comes with a selection of different arm parts including these bent arms which allow you to recreate various poses from the opening theme of the anime series! =(｡・д・｡)

▲”♪~ Mita koto nai yume no kidou ~ ♪”

Plus she also comes with this alternate face plate!

An upset expression!★

Just looking at it makes me imagine her upset voice shouting at the other Aquors members! It will be so fun to display them together with this!

Even if we make the exact same pose as the first photo on today’s blog but switch out the face plate, the feeling behind the pose changes completely!

▲ The slight blush on her cheeks makes it perfect!! So cute!!

In addition she also comes with a folding fan as an optional part, which you can use to cover up her mouth for even more display options! ☆

▲ This could be used for all sorts of poses!ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

You need to imagine who is on the other end of that gaze… depending on who it is there are all sorts of different possibilities for this pose! ♪

Simply display her however you think she looks best

Be sure to add the student council president filled with pride to your collection!
Nendoroid Dia Kurosawa!
