Nendoroid Ruby Kurosawa (LoveLive! Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I always mess up what day of the week it is after a long weekend! It doesn’t feel like Tuesday today at all! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Ruby Kurosawa!

From the anime series ‘LoveLive!Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Aqours member Ruby Kurosawa wearing her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’! She comes with both a sparkling smile as well as a troubled expression.

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! ♪

“Ganbaruby!”

The honest and sincere Aqours member who is always determined to be a better idol… even if she might be a bit of a crybaby at times! Ruby Kurosawa is joining the Nendoroids! ♥

That innocent, sparkling facial expression, the little twin-tails as well as the cute hair accessories that hold them in place have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid size!

Ruby is the sixth Nendoroid to join the LoveLive! Sunshine!! Nendoroid Aquors series! The members that have already been up for preorder are as follows:

Nendoroid Chika Takami –

▲ Released in February 2017
Nendoroid You Watanabe –

▲ Planned for Release in May 2017
–  Nendoroid Riko Sakurauchi –

▲ Planned for Release in June 2017
Nendoroid Yoshiko Tsushima –

▲ Planned for Release in July 2017

Nendoroid Hanamaru Kunikida –

▲ Planned for Release in August 2017

The last three members are also in production, so you can look forward to completing the Aquors Nendoroid set!! ヽ(゚∀゚ヽ 三 ノ゚∀゚)ノ

But anyway, let’s get back to Ruby!! 

Just like the previous characters, Ruby is wearing her stage outfit from the song “Aozora Jumping Heart”! The frills of her skirt as well as the details on the sailor-style outfit have all been not just painted, but sculpted onto the design for a more faithful rendition in figure form! ♥

The clasps on her suspenders make use of a metallic paint to capture the texture nicely! ☆

▲ So much detail on a figure that stands just 100mm in height!

Along with the innocent and cheerful smiling face above, she also comes with a second face plate with a troubled expression! ヽ(●´Д`●)ノ

▲ The upward gaze combined with the worried eyebrows!!
You can’t help but want to just to her side and protect her!!

She comes with various hand parts as well which allow for poses such as the above pose of her pushing her skirt down, or instead pose her with her hands clenched up toward her face for a different adorable pose!

The various arms and leg parts also allow you to recreate a couple of scenes from the opening theme, but also allow for lots of original poses! (*´ェ`*)

Be sure to add the adorable little Ruby to your collection!
Nendoroid Ruby Kurosawa!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Nendoroid Yoshiko Tsushima (LoveLive! Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I recently found out that you can rent chocolate fountain machines and am excited to try it for myself. I guess my want for chocolate is increasing as my body realizes that Valentine’s day is getting closer…!

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

From the anime series ‘LoveLive!Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Aqours member Yoshiko Tsushima wearing her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’! She comes with both a cheerful standard expression as well as her signature winking pose completely in ‘fallen angel’ mood!

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! ♪

“I am Yohane, the fallen angel! Descended from above!!”

The first year student at Uranohoshi Girls’ High School who refers to herself as Yohane the fallen angel! Yoshiko Tsushima is joining the Nendoroid series!! ♥

Just like the previous Nendoroids in the series she is wearing the ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’ outfit which has a bit of a sailor uniform appearance filled with frills, puffy sleeves and a cute ribbon on her chest! You can also just make out the choker around her neck which has been faithfully sculpted onto the design! (∩・∀・)∩

The details on her hair accessory and earrings are also lovely, and the deep blue hair flows down her back beautifully!

▲ It’s a bit hard to see, but the collar of her outfit has been faithfully included!

The figure comes with a selection of interchangeable arm parts which allow you to recreate various poses including the one from the last scene of the opening theme which I used as the very first photo on today’s blog!  ε- (´ー`*)

▲ Waving to all her “little demons” in the audience! ☆

▲Arms out wide – another pose taken from the opening theme! ヽ(*´Д`*)ノ

I’m sure fans will enjoy recreating various poses as well as coming up with all original poses for the beautiful fallen angel! 

But that’s not all! She also comes with an alternate face plate that allows you to pose her in her signature pose where she fully looks like she is in the role of the fallen angel! (/ω・\)

▲ The winking expression gives her a much more mature appearance!

In addition, she also comes with a black feather part….

Which can even be placed in her hair!

In other words you can completely recreate Yoshiko in Yohane mode!! ♥

Come now. Join me and my little demons!

As a side note, the ‘ball of hair’ is included as two separate parts – one standard version and another one with a hole in that allows you to insert the feather for this pose!

Simply arrange her however your prefer!

▲ The contrast to her smiling expression is amazing!

Be sure to add the fallen angel Yohane to your collection!
Nendoroid Yoshiko Tsushima!

She is currently up for preorder! ♥

 

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

figFIX Eli Ayase & Kotori Minami: Cheerleader ver. (LoveLive!!)

What are figFIX?

The figFIX series of figures is the same size as figmas (around 1/12th scale) so they can easily be displayed together, but they are fixed in a specific and well-known pose of each character, allowing for a more faithful representation as well as a reasonable price! The series allows the skilled craftsmen of Max Factory to put their skills to work on more delicate sculpting and paintwork for fans to enjoy! The head part of figFIX figures make use of the same joint as the figma series, allowing for some interesting display possibilities for fans to play around with as well!

Nendoroid You Watanabe (LoveLive! Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Sometimes I get this uncontrollable urge to eat a hamburger… like right now! I’m really hungry… *nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*!

Today we’re going to be taking a look at an idol who also likes hamburgers!
Nendoroid You Watanabe!

From the anime series ‘LoveLive! Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the Aqours member You Watanabe wearing her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’! She comes with both a standard expression as well as a playful winking expression with a big smile that shows her teeth, and she also comes with glasses parts which can be worn for a quick change of style!

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! ♪

“All aboard!! Full speed ahead!!”

She dreams to one day follow in her father’s footsteps and become the captain of a ferry, and also has a talent for high diving which is good enough at it to qualify for the national team – but for now she is trying her best as an idol in the Aquors idol group! the cute and energetic You Watanabe is joining the Nendoroid series! ♥

Her sailor-style outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’ has been sculpted in lovely detail – the accessories on the front, her earrings, puffy shorts and the frills on the hem all look lovely!

▲ The light blue outfit is the same color scheme as Chika Takami!

Nendoroid Chika Takami is scheduled for release in February! ヾ(o´∀`o)ノ

▲ You can find my blog review of her over here!

The wavy appearance of her hair has also been very faithfully converted into Nendoroid size! Even from the back you can tell it is You-chan just based on the hairstyle! ♪

▲ You can see all the sailor collar of her outfit from the back too!

She comes with two face plates, the first of which is the gentle expression above and the second is this adorable winking smile!

~ Massugu ni ikioi yoku kimi o sagashiteta yo ~

She also comes with a selection of parts to create her poses from the opening theme, such as the pointing pose above! (∩・∀・)∩

▲ Such a playful winking pose!! She is so cute!!

Plus as if that wasn’t enough she also comes with glasses!! ♪

Oooohh!!!  :.゚ヽ(´∀`。)ノ゚.:。+゚

While the Nendoroid is based on her idol outfit, that doesn’t mean that she can’t wear she glasses and be displayed a bit more in home-mode!! It suits her so well after all – it’s actually quite amazing how different the expressions look when you add the glasses to them! ♪

If you add the glasses to her winking expression and move the hands-on-hips arm parts upwards…

ฅ*•ω•*ฅ  Nyan!  ฅ*•ω•*ฅ

You can create a kind of a kitty-like pose with glasses!!

It’s amazing what you can come up with when you play around with all the different arm parts and accessories! There are all sorts of original poses to come up with in the Nendoroid world!! I look forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with once she joins your collections!! ♪

Be sure to add her to your Nendoroid idol collection!

Nendoroid You Watanabe!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♪

Nendoroid Chika Takami (LoveLive! Sunshine!!)

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can always tell what season it is just by the fruits that are in season!
*nom* (๑´ㅂ`๑) *nom*

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Nendoroid Chika Takami!

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive! Sunshine!!’ comes a Nendoroid of the second year student at Uranohoshi Girls who started the Aqours idol group, Chika Takami! She has been sculpted in her outfit from the song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’!

She comes with both an energetic smiling expression as well as a winking expression, and a variety of different parts allow you to pose her in various different dance poses from the opening theme of the anime series! Be sure to enjoy her together with the other members of Aqours who are also planned to join the Nendoroid series! ♪

“We want to shine!”

The second year student at Uranohoshi Girls who pulls everyone along with her cheerful and energetic attitude, Chika Takami is joining the Nendoroids! Her short hairstyle,  sparkling eyes, cute hair accessory and more have all been faithfully converted into Nendoroid form! She is wearing the stage outfit from the opening song ‘Aozora Jumping Heart’ which has also been sculpted in lovely, intricate detail! ♪

▲ Even the design at the collar has been faithfully included!

The very first photo has her posed in the pose where the nine members are all together, but she comes with a selection of interchangeable hand and leg parts to recreate all sorts of different poses! ☆

For example! Here I’ve made use of the bent left and right leg parts and the straight arms to create an energetic jumping pose!! :.゚ヽ(´∀`。)ノ゚.:。+゚

From this angle you can also see the braided hair on the side along with her blue scrunchy and small but detailed earrings! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

Along with the cheerful smiling face above, she also comes with a face plate with a cute winking expression! ♥

The winking expression together with a special set of alternate arm and hand parts also allow you to recreate this scene from the opening theme!!

▲ I can just hear the lyrics playing in my head!!

Her little hat can also be removed for a slightly different appearance! Simply choose whichever you think suits her pose better! (●‘∀‘●)ノ”

▲ Removing the hat actually gives quite a different impression!

By changing the angle of her arms the pointing hand can create all sorts of different poses with varying nuances! I’m looking forward to seeing some original dancing poses from fans!!

▲ Shhh! Posed as if telling you to keep quiet about her secrets!

Plus… All the other members of Aqours are also going to be joining the Nendoroids!!

Stay tuned for more information!!  (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡

Add the energetic Chika-chan to your collection!

FREEing’s ‘NicoRinPana’ – Nico Yazawa, Rin Hoshizora and Hanayo Koizumi!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I always feel nostalgic when I see the new students going to school in uniform for the first time!! I hope they will enjoy the next few years of their studies!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at FREEing’s…

Nico Yazawa/Rin Hoshizora/Hanayo Koizumi!

NicoRinPana‘!

They have  jumped out from the radio and into the figure world! Each of these figure is based on the CD jackets from the ‘LoveLive! μ’s PR Team ~NicoRinPana~’ CDs! ♪

This is how they look from the back!

The rather simple poses have capture the feeling of movement so nicely!

The way the skirts are fluttering about, each of their postures as well as the way their hair is moving all comes together to capture such a lovely scene!

Let’s take a look at them one-by-one! ε=(。・д・。)

Yazawa Nico!

Niconiconii-!♡♥︎

Based on the CD jacket illustration from the ‘LoveLive! μ’s PR Team ~NicoRinPana~ vol.1’ CD! A 1/8th scale figure of Niconii in her school uniform!! (σ・∀・)σ

Her cute twin-tails and the red ribbons in her hair are lovely and detailed! ★


△ Her tiny nails are even painted!

The pink cardigan and third year green ribbon are also lovely! (。・ω・)ノ゙

The way her skirt is blowing about is also very cute! Be sure to take a nice close look from all sorts of angles once she joins your collection! ♪

Rin Hoshizora

Nya~ ♪ She looks so full of energy! (=ФωФ=)

Based on the CD jacket illustration from the ‘LoveLive! μ’s PR Team ~NicoRinPana~ vol.2’ CD! Rin with kitty ears and a kitty pose!! ♡

The creases in her Summer uniform blouse and the wavering of her skirt are also such a pleasure to look at!

Hanayo Koizumi!

Glasses Kayochin!! (●´ω`●)

Based on the CD jacket illustration from the ‘LoveLive! μ’s PR Team ~NicoRinPana~ vol.3’ CD! The blazer looks clean and nicely fitted, perfect for Kayochin!

The creases on the blazer from the closed buttons as they pull on the fabric has been recreated so faithfully! ★

You really need to see them with your own two eyes!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Speaking of eyes, you can also remove Kayochin’s glasses for a slightly different appearance! Simply pick the pose you prefer!! ♥︎


△  An alternate front hair part without the glasses is included!

Nendoroid Nico Yazawa: Training Outfit Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

This is the season that cocoa with marshmallows is most delicious! Warm and sweet and perfect to boost spirits on a cold Winter day!

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

Nendoroid Nico Yazawa:
Training Outfit Ver.!

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a Nendoroid of Nico Yazawa wearing her training outfit! She comes with both a cute expression with worried eyebrows as well as a glaring expression with scornful eyes. Optional parts include sunglasses and a mask that allow you to recreate the rather suspicious disguise from the series.

A special ‘holding hand’ part is also included for use with the ‘Ima wa Bokura no Naka de’ LoveLive! Nendoroid series! Be sure to display her with the other Nendoroids in the series!

Here to bring a Nico-Nico smile to your heart!♪

The pose above is the definition of what it means to be an idol! So cute! ♥︎

At long last Nico Yazawa is joining the Traning Outfit versions of the LoveLive! Nendoroids! Her red and pink outfit with a cute filly skirt gives her such a sweet appearance!  (σ・∀・)σ

This time around there are Nendoroid joints at the base of her twin-tails allowing you to add different little nuances to better match your poses!

The expression above has cute ‘worried’ eyebrows that suit her attention seeking idol pose, but they also of course can be used in a rather different situation to great effect as well!

It looks like she is saying something like “Oh, come on now… I guess I’ll help you out…” toward Maki-chan! It suits that rather superior attitude she took around Honoka-chan at the start of the series rather nicely!

Her announcement also marks the end of the Training Outfit series!

♥︎ Preorders Still Open!! ♥︎

It’ll be so much fun to display them altogether!! I can’t wait!!

But for now, let’s get back to Niconii! ♥︎
This is her second expression… 

A glaring expression! ♥︎

Niconii might be all cute and bright as an idol, but she often has slightly darker expressions when its just between the other members! The Training Outfit series is all about displaying the characters off the stage, so this expression suits perfectly! You can pose her with the other μ’s members for all sorts of fun!

△ Even recreate Nontan’s video filming together with Nico!

Nendoroid Nozomi Tojo: Training Outfit Ver. came with her camera and microphone as option parts, while Niconii comes with…

Sunglasses and a mask! (・∀・)

You can recreate her disguise scene using these parts! The sunglasses connect to the front hair parts, while the mask fits nicely around her mouth! ☆

This is how the mask looks from underneath! You simply need to place the neck joint through this hole and it covers up the mouth nice and securely! It’s also quite compatible with other Nendoroids!

For example!

Here we have Nendoroid Eli Ayase: Training Outfit Ver. with her worried expression and the mask to display her as if she has caught a cold! Get well soon!!

You can also display her with just the glasses! ♪

△ The worried eyebrows and sunglasses make her look quite carefree!

△ Suddenly she looks so much sweeter with the mask though!

It’s quite amazing how much feeling behind the expressions change depending on what you cover up! You can enjoy all sorts of different sides of Niconii!! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

Obviously you can also take parts from the original Nendoroid Nico Yazawa for even more options as well! ( ・ㅂ・)و ̑̑ グッ

I decided I had to take a group photo of the three third year students!

Elicchi’s worried smile, Non-tan’s wink and a glaring Niconii!!

You can really get a feel for their personalties just by looking at the figures! Be sure to collect them all and enjoy the μ’s members by your side! ♥

Enjoy both her cute idol side and her off-stage personality all in one figure!

Nendoroid Nico Yazawa:
Training Outfit Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♡

Orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Special Nendoroid Background Sheet (Night) & Special Nendoroid Stand

Be sure to consider the bonus when preordering!
