Nendoroid Rintaro Okabe: Kyouma Hououin Ver. (Steins;Gate)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Rintaro Okabe: Kyouma Hououin Ver.!

From the sci-fi adventure series “Steins;Gate” comes a Nendoroid of the main character, Rintaro Okabe, based on the personality of his alternate name, Kyouma Hououin!

He comes with three face plates including a standard expression, an exaggerated expression, as well as a closed-eyes expression. Optional parts include a cell phone, cyalume saber, as well as other things that appear in the series, so you can recreate your favorite scenes of the mad scientist!

“EL PSY KONGROO”

The mad scientist operating across the globe, Kyouma Hououin… also known as Rintaro Okabe, has arrived in cute Nendoroid form!

His unique hairstyle and white lab coat that he never takes off, no matter how hot it gets, are of course featured on this figure! ◎

▲The flutter of his coat and flow of his hair have been recreated with great care!

In addition to his somewhat cool, emotionless standard expression face plate, an exaggerated expression is also included! It looks like he’s about to rattle off one of his famous phrases! (*´꒳`*)

▲The optional cyalume saber part has also been faithfully recreated! This expression can look pretty serious depending on your point of view! ♪

Also…!

In addition…!

Interchangeable arm parts are also included to recreate this famous mad scientist pose from the series!

You can feel the power of the pose running all the way to his fingertips! (・∀・)

The third expression included is his closed-eyes expression, overflowing with confident smugness.

Of course his favorite drink is also included for you to pose him with!

＼　EL PSY KONGROO　／

You can even pose him ~~talking to himself~~ talking on his cell phone!

Be sure to add the Kyouma Hououin version of Okarin to your collection! ☆

Nendoroid Rintaro Okabe: Kyouma Hououin Ver.

He’ll be available for preorder from 21st August 2018 (Tue)!

On the same day, a rerelease of this figure will also be available for preorder!

– WonHobby Products Page –
http://www.whl4u.jp/products.html

Today we’ll be taking a look at…
Kurisu Makise: White Coat Ver.!

The ‘hypothetical science adventure’ game Steins;Gate has just recently had a sequel and movie version released, and from that series comes a 1/8th scale figure of Kurisu Makise wearing her white lab coat. She is posed with her long white lab coat fluttering behind her, as she blushes with the same cute expression she made whenever others made fun of her.

In her right hand she holds a bottle of ‘Dr.Iepper’ and on her left wrist she is wearing Mirai Gadget #12: ‘Darling no Baka’. It’s a pose and figure that any fans of the tsundere genius are sure to enjoy!

The first WonHobby product review is none other than Christina!!

This is a special version of the 1/8th scale Christina released in March 2012, which features her wearing her lab coat instead of her casual clothes! The pose is the same as the previous version, but the overall sculpting has been changed quite a bit when compared to the original!

Those who already own the original version can display the two together, while those who missed out on her can take this opportunity to add the lovely Christina to their collections!!

This is how she looks from the back!

On her left wrist you can see the Future Gadget #12: Darling no Baka, and in her right hand she is holding a bottle of Okarin and Christina’s favorite drink!

The bottle can be removed from her hand if you prefer to display her without it, or with something else that fits into her hand! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

This is the bottle and stickers included!

The label needs to be stuck on manually, but it’s just a matter of wrapping it around the middle so it’s not a difficult task at all!

Another thing I have to point out is the paintwork of the liquid in the bottle! Christina is holding the bottle at an angle, so the liquid inside the bottle is also slightly over to one side! Try and stick the label on so that the logo is on the side with less liquid, as this will leave the label showing when she is holding it at the right angle!

I wouldn’t call this flat-chested at all!!

The intricate curves of her body and arched back show off her bust quite nicely, and I don’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of at all! (In fact, I think they have quite a lovely shape!)

Not to mention that her low-rise hotpants and the creases on her blouse all look fantastic too!!

The blushing Christina looks so cute!

Tsundere! Tsundere!! ( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡

She may normally be a very strong-willed character, but the times when these adorable expressions come out are when I really fall for her!

It’s also rather amazing how nicely huke’s original illustration has been preserved in the figure! It makes it a must-have figure not only for Steins;Gate fans, but also fans of huke as well!

The lab coat is a little too big for her!

Looking at her from the back and seeing the lab coat billowing behind her along with her hair flowing behind her really gives a lovely dynamic feeling to the figure! In most cases I don’t think a lab coat would ever be considered a fancy item of clothing, but the careful work of the sculptors and painters has turned this one into a feast for the eyes! Just look at those folds and shadows!!

Looking at the creases around her waist area really makes it seem like the lab coat is made from a soft fabric! The coat was very memorable in both the game and the movie, so it had to look great on the figure as well!! (`・ω・´)

Green slippers for the lab!

Inside the lab means a lab coat and green slippers! Yet another item that is very memorable in the series! The slightly raised up heel and the smooth stockings all come together to create some rather captivating legs!

The areas below her thighs and behind her knees make use of a slightly darker gradient to create a stocking-like appearance, which also looks fantastic!

The WonHobby 18 Exclusive Product:
Kurisu Makise: White Coat Ver.!

There are two ways to get hold of her!

(ﾟ∀ﾟ) She’ll be on sale at the WONDERFUL HOBBY LIFE FOR YOU!! booth at Wonder Festival (Summer) in the Makuhari Messe on 28th July!
http://www.whl4u.jp/products.html

(ﾟ∀ﾟ) From the 28th July she’ll be available from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP!
http://www.whl4u.jp/buy_web.html
(Estimated Delivery will be in November 2013)

I believe I’ll be able to get my hands on the other WonFes products over the next few days, and as I do I’ll be doing sample reviews! Which will be the next one I take a look at?! You’ll have to wait and see!　(*ﾟ∀ﾟ)=3

Anyway, that’s all for today!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow!! (・∀・)ノ゛

Nendoroid Faris Nyannyan

Bwahahahaha!!!

001
Shuu-chan has transformed into Kyouma Hououin!

There can only be one reason for this! The prototype of one of the figures he was in charge of must have been completed! A figure that was announced nearly two years ago during the live broadcast at Tokyo Tower!

Everything is decided by Steins;Gate, and mankind have no way to oppose it so we simply had to wait this long, but the much-awaited Nendoroid is finally here! El psy congroo!
002
From ‘Steins;Gate’:
Nendoroid Faris Nyannyan!

The ‘hypothetical science adventure’ game Steins;Gate has just recently had a sequel and movie version released, and from that series comes a Nendoroid of lab member number 007 – Faris Nyannyan!

Alternate parts are included allowing you to pose her in her trademark ‘Nyannyan’ pose! The adorable Faris is hoping you’ll play with her as much as possible! ♪

“Faris-tan is so cute!!” (To be read in Tomokazu Seki’s voice)

She’s wearing the super cute uniform from the maid cafe, ‘May Queen Nyan-nyan 2’!! Even in Nendoroid size, all the little details of huke’s original illustration are faithfully kept! Just look at the belt around her waist or the zig-zag red lines on the edges of her sleeves!

It’s a perfect Nendoroid rendition of the original design! ヽ(゜∀゜)ノ
003
This is how she looks from the back!

One of Faris’ most important features is definitely her twirly twin-tails, and the sculptwork on them is magnificent! Each of the indents and twirls are sculpted in such a way that the shadows fall in just the right places creating such a lovely twirl effect! Of course her cat ears are also attached!
004
Moving onto the optional parts…
A winking face and silver tray!

I’m sure many of you who have played the game will recognise this expression very quickly! It was often seen when Faris spoke with you in the game!

Faris is known to be a zealous worker at the maid café, so a silver tray is included to display her hard at work as a Nendoroid! A special left arm to hold the tray is also included to create the lovely pose above!
005
“The world is in trouble” omelette rice!

The famous dish that arrived when Daru and Okarin visited the maid café!! It’s such a tiny optional part, but you can still make out the writing perfectly!!

This pose makes use of the bent right arm part to display Faris dropping off the dish at someone’s table! “Enjoy your meal before the world ends ♪”
007
“Rai-Net Access Battlers”!

If you’ve played the game or watched the anime you’ll know just how good Faris is at this game!! (`・ω・´)

The tiny Nendoroid-sized cards come in both a stack to hold in her left hand and a single card to hold out and play in her right hand! It’s hard to decide whether to display her at work as a maid or instead enjoying a game of Rai-Net Access Battlers!! I want to display both!
006
A smug expression with hands on her hips!

This particular pose is a scene from the ‘Rai-Net Access Battlers’ tournament! She looks so chuffed and cute in this pose!

Both left and right bent arms are included, and her puff-sleeves come in both a normal version and an open version – the ones in this photo are the open version!
008
“Welcome home, master! ♪”

The adorable pose when Faris and Mayushii welcome Okarin to the maid café!!
I want to go to May Queen Nyan-nyan 2 myself and be greeted like this!!!

Just a quick swap of her arm parts and she is instantly in her famous ‘Nyannyan’ pose! Just swapping around shoulders and arms can create so many different poses! Challenge yourself to find the cutest possible Faris-chan! ^^
010
And to celebrate Faris-tan’s announcement…
Nendoroid Kurisu Makise is being rereleased!

Those who missed out on her the first time, or those who have only recently become fans of the series, don’t miss out on your change to grab Christina this time! Her embarrassed expression is really something else! You can’t help but shout out about how cute it is!!

Shuu-chan actually has a replica of Okarin’s cellphone! It was one of the items included in the ‘Senkei Kousoku no Phenogram’ limited edition box and it’s really well made! Areas such as the camera look just like the real thing, and the battery can even be removed!! I was super impressed!!
009
Bonus!! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ)=3

Christiiiina in a maid outfit!!

Using Faris’ body you can recreate the scene from ‘Darling of Loving Vows’ where Christina wears a maid outfit!

I know you may be thinking that the two girls have far too different bodies to swap them like this… but according to Shuu-chan their busts are only 1cm difference in size! 😛
002
From ‘Steins;Gate’:
Nendoroid Faris Nyannyan!
Nendoroid Kurisu Makise (Rerelease)

They’ll both be up for preorder from tomorrow!!
Get in contact with our partner shops if you have any preorder or sales queries!

Anyway, that’s all for today!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow!! (・∀・)ノ゛

Nendoroid Kurisu Makise & Mayuri Shiina: Cheerful Ver.

Apologies for the long wait once again!!

001

Cheerful JAPAN! Part 5:
Nendoroid Kurisu & Mayuri : Cheerful Ver.!

They were supposed to be sent out in January originally, but due to some problems they will now be sent out on the 8th February! Apologies for the wait, but rest assured that they are on their way soon! If you live close to Japan, you’ll be receiving yours in just over a week! I’ll be doing a quick product review today, so that you know what to expect if you ordered them! (`･ω･´)ゞ
002

This is how the packaging looks!

The two are together in a set, so as you can imagine you get quite a lot to play around with, and tons of poses you can use! I’m very glad to see bent legs for both legs!

003

Kurisu Makise & Mayuri Shiina!

A Nendoroid set of both Kurisu Makise and Mayuri Shiina from the game and anime series ‘Steins;Gate’ are rejoining the Nendoroid world in cheerleader outfits!
Kurisu has a confident looking expression, while Mayuri has a warm, gentle expression!

004

This is how they look from the back!

I guess many people don’t really think this is all that important on Nendoroids… but it certainly is to me! The undercoat beneath their cheerleader outfits is wonderful! I’m afraid that this isn’t fanservice – just an undercoat! 😛

005

Kurisu’s worried face and pompons!

Kurisu certainly isn’t the type that would put on a cheerleader outfit like this, so a slightly worried expression like this really suits her nicely! Mayuri also comes with her own set of pompons, so you can pose them both cheering with together!

006

Mayushii’s ‘(´・ω・｀)’ Face!

A face that contrasts with the ‘ヽ(*ﾟдﾟ)ノ’ face from last year’s WonFes product, Nendoroid Kurisu Makise: White Coat Ver.! She has a cute little mouth shaped like this: ω, and the round eyes with the eyebrows at a down angle like this: ´　｀. It somehow just adds so much to her cuteness level! You can also use the bent legs like this to kind of sit the characters on the side of the stand – you don’t need the arm, but it would be much more secure with it!

007

A giant support flag and megaphone!

The support flag is bigger than the character’s themselves! And the megaphone is a lovely pink color that suits the outfits nicely. Of course you can switch the arm parts around and let any characters hold the flag and megaphone. Just find the pose that you think looks best!

009

The expressions fit on other Nendos too!

Plus you can use the cheerleader outfits on other characters as well! Here we have Rin and Miku trying them on! There are not many bodies that can suit almost any character – but I’m sure that almost any female Nendoroids will look interesting using these bodies!

008

Cheerful JAPAN! Part 5:

Nendoroid Kurisu & Mayuri : Cheerful Ver.

They’ll be shipped out on the 8th February!
If you ordered you should receive it soon after that!

Anyway, that’s all for today!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow! (・∀・)ノ゛

Tasshi is our resident specialist on fan service! 😛

He was the sculptor in charge of Love is War Miku, as well as this figure we’ll be taking a look at today! He gets the finest details and color tints so perfectly! Great job once again Tasshi! Don’t hide from us behind that silly mask! 😛

And so today we’ll be taking a look at this lovely figure!

1/8th Scale Kurisu Makise!

She is from the Sci-Fi adventure game and popular anime that has just recently come to an end – ‘Steins;Gate’.
The figure really captures Christina wonderfully!

As a huge fan of Steins;Gate myself, I have absolutely no qualms about anything from the sculpting down to the painting of this figure! It’s just perfect!

This is how she looks from the back!

You don’t often to get to see her from the side or back – I absolutely love the fact that you can see all 360 degrees around figures! The way her jacket is fluttering up is also gorgeous!

Mayushii: ‘Small breasts are justice!’

Oh really? I don’t think you have the right to say that! 😛 Kurisu really seems to be trying her best to show them off though!

Christina has a fairly serious expression!

huke’s unique style of illustration really looks great when converted into a figure!! Those eyes could charm anybody!!

Hot pants and black stockings!

It might be hard to tell from the photo here, but the gradient used on the stockings looks absolutely stunning! You have to take a nice close look for yourself!

Her wavy jacket and hair have stunning painting!

It really looks as if a strong gust of wind is blowing over her. The way the indented parts of the jacket are carefully painted a darker color looks incredible. I couldn’t be more impressed about the way it has come out!

My best photo for today!

Being able to see all around Kurisu and still like the way she looks from absolutely every angle is such a wonderful feeling! She has such perfect proportions!

She holds a red cellphone in her hand!

Steins;Gate fans should all know this red cellphone very well! As expected on a 1/8th scale figure, you can even see the little buttons carefully sculpted on it!

Displayed with Nendoroid and Dr.Pepper!

I kind of want the other Steins;Gate characters now… Nendoroid Feiris is currently in production, but I’m kind of hoping for a figma Okarin!

Or maybe… a figma or Okarin! Or a figma of Okarin!! Yeah, I think a figma of Okarin would be best…!

Nendoroid Mayuri Shiina

Panda is so fluffy!! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ)=3

This panda is just so nice and fluffy to touch! He is super popular in the GSC offices at the moment! Fluffiness makes everyone feel better! But the panda’s fluffiness isn’t the only thing that’s making everyone happy – just look at what he is holding too!!

Nendoroid Mayuri Shiina!

The final episode of Steins;Gate has just aired, so it’s the perfect time for this Nendoroid of Mayuri to be released!

She’ll be in stores from tomorrow! Tuturu~ ♪

This is how the packaging looks!

Just look how many arm parts she comes with! There are a load of parts representing specific scenes from the series which fans should appreciate!

This is how she looks from the back!

Even as a Nendoroid the small details of the lace on her jeans is visible! Her big fluttery hat is also absolutely lovely!

Her lovely hat can of course be removed!

She has a piece of sticking-up hair that can be attached when the har has been removed. The little piece of hair is very small, so be careful not to lose it!

Her first extra expression – a worried face!

Combining this expression with the bent arms recreates one of her poses from the Steins;Gate game!

Next up is a super happy smile!

Along with Mayushii’s favorite – Juicy Fried Chicken Number One!!
The chicken and fork are attached to one of her arm parts! You can see just how much she likes it by her expression! Seeing her smile like that gives me the power to get through any day!! ･ﾟ･（ﾉД`）･ﾟ･｡

Plus the all important banana!

A Nendoroid that comes with two different foods at once… this just has to be Mayushii! 😛 I’m sure she is very happy with the extra parts that were given to her Nendoroid form! (*´▽｀*)

By the way… the phone-microwave isn’t included with the figure, it’s my own personal item. ^^

Metal Oopa!

Another very important item to the series, it just had to be included! She also comes with more arm parts that let you recreate another scene from the game, where she is holding metal Oopa!

　　　　　　／￣￣￣＼
　　　　　／　─　　 ─ 　＼　　　”Hmm…?
　　　／　 <○> 　<○>　＼.　　 It looks like two metal Oopas are included…?”
　　　 |　　　（__人__）　し　|
　　　＼　　　｀ ⌒´　　　／
　　　／　し　　　　　　＼

That’s right! She comes with one in her hands, and one separate!
The version for her hands has a little stub that connects to her hand, while obviously the other version doesn’t need it!

Now we are just being spoiled!
Fans of the series will be happy to have so many options when displaying their Mayushii!! You can even let her hold one, and keep the other one for your desk!

She can also exchange expressions!

This expression is actually from the very recent Nendoroid Kurisu Makise & Mayuri Shiina Cheerful Ver., it’s the (´・ω・｀)-face included with that version of Mayuri!

Nendoroid Mayuri Shiina

Today I’ll be taking a look at a figure from an anime that’s currently airing!

From Steins;Gate, it’s…

Nendoroid Mayuri Shiina!

The figure is actually based on the original game that was made by Nitroplus and 5pb, but as I’m sure most of you now it’s also currently airing as an anime series! It’s the #1 must-watch from this season in my opinion!

If you missed it you can watch it here!
http://ch.nicovideo.jp/channel/ch60001

This is of course the second Nendoroid from the Steins;Gate series, following on from Kurisu!

This is how she looks from the back!

Her cute, short hairstyle looks perfect in Nendoroid form! You can also just see the short jeans she is wearing underneath her one-piece – it adds a nice touch to her character.

Let’s move onto the optional parts…
First her hat, which can of course be removed!

Aww, she is so cute!! Seeing her like this makes me hear Kana Hanazawa’s voice over and over in my head… it’s so cute!

She also comes with a load of extra arm parts to play with!
First – an upward bent right arm!
If you think you’ve seen this pose before it’s very possible – it’s based on a pose she takes in the game!

A cheerful smiling face!

Even the eyebrows from huke’s original character design have been perfectly Nendorofied! Yay!

Plus a different set of bent arms!
This was yet another pose from the game! In fact, she did this one all the time!

Her other expression is a worried face!

　　　　　／￣￣￣＼
　　　　　／　　 :::::＼:／＼　
　　　／　　　｡<一>:::<ー>。　 “All I can hear is Kana Hanazawa’s
　　　 |　　　　｡ﾟ~（__人__）~ﾟj　　　 adorable　voice playing in my mind!”

　　　　／　 ⌒ヽﾟ　'”‘”´(;ﾟ　｡　　
　　　/　,＿＼　＼／＼＼
　　と_＿＿）_ヽ＿つ_;_ヾ_つ.;.

…which shows just how amazing it is!!

This is, once again, another pose from the game! It’s definitely a figure that anyone who has played the game will have a lot of fun with!
　

　
But there is still more to come!
“Juicy Fried Chicken Number One!”

Mayuri’s best food in the world! She also comes with a fork and a hands to hold it!

She also comes with a banana!

It’s rather appropriate that she comes with so many optional parts that involve food… ^^;

Just like Kurisu, she also has a cellphone!

When it comes to the Steins;Gate universe, this is one item that every character just has to have! It has a completely different color and shape to Kurisu’s cellphone!

Metal Oopa!

She also comes with a pair of hands to show it off!

She actually comes with two different shoulder parts to compensate for all the different hand parts!

Plus as an added bonus… the previously released Kurisu…
Is going on resale when Mayuri releases!

Yippe! That means that everyone who missed the first batch can still grab her! If you’re a fan of the series you just have to display the two together!

For those of you who are watching the anime – I strongly suggest you give the game a try as well! It really was a fantastic game!

Nendoroid Mayuri Shiina!!

Nendoroid Kurisu Makise and Gift Plushies!

12 days till the Wonder Festival!

Yesterday we had a look at the WonFes product ‘Nendoroid Kurisu Makise: White Coat Ver.’!

That would be the one of the right of this photo.

Today we’ll take a look at the one on the left:

Nendoroid Kurisu Makise!

This one is not a WonFes product – it’ll be available at all our partner shops for normal sales! We’re sending her out on the 26th, so she should reach the stores by the 27th!

This is how the packaging looks!

The overall feeling is very similar to the White Coat Ver. – it has a very standard Nendoroid set-up. Obviously Nendos like this with no huge extras cost less! Don’t forget that!

Kurisu in her casual clothes!

Kurisu comes from the science fiction visual novel that was recently recently released on PC, “Steins;Gate”, and also goes by lots of pet names, such as “Assistant” and “Christina”. She is a very lovable tsundere heroine, and now she is available as a Nendoroid!

When we first announced this Nendoroid we got a lot of people asking.

The White Coast version was due to be a WonFes product!!

For more information on that version you can check the blog I wrote before this one, or the official page below:
http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3063/

This is how she looks from the back!

These clothes are actually a custom altered version of Kurisu’s high school uniform. The stand tucks into the hem of the clothes very nicely!

An arm holding documents to recreate the famous CG!

This extra part has Kurisu’s arm holding some documents just like she did in a very important scene from the game!

The first expression – an Upset Face!

She also comes with crossed arms… perfect for a pose like this!

As I said yesterday, she is a tsundere character!

This pose and expression is a perfect example of the upset half of a tsundere… which means the other expression must be…?

An Embarrassed Face!

She also comes with a bent arms like this to create an even more embarrassing looking pose.

This pose was used on advertising for the game!

If you combine all the parts from this figure with the White Coat Ver. you’ll find you can make a lot of interesting poses!

You can also use the expressions of the White Coat Ver.!

You can use one of the cutest faces ever… this ‘ヽ(*ﾟдﾟ)ノ’ Face on her!

Plus she also comes with another extra!

Her cellphone!

Along with a hand to hold it! Now she can find the way to go using her cellphone!

The hand holding the cellphone can also be exchanged!

Which means you can pass the cellphone onto the white coat Kurisu! It really helps to have both of them if you want to create more of your favorite scenes!

Kaito: White Coat Ver!

Kaito is trying some new clothes on! It’s nice to have a character in a white lab coat like this one to put on other characters. The face as well of course!

They are both definitely Nendoroids with a load of fun to be had!

Nendoroid number 130!

Nendoroid Kurisu Makise: White Coat Ver.

13 days till the Wonder Festival!

Oooh! That means there is less than 2 weeks left!!

We’re slowly buy surely getting ready here in the GSC offices, and today I’ll be reviewing the third of the WonFes products…

Nendoroid Kurisu Makise:

White Coat Ver.!

That’s right!

The Nendoroid on the left is actually the other standard version of Kurisu Makise, while the one on the right is the WonFes limited Kurisi Makise: White Coat Ver.

Today we’ll be playing around with the White Coat Ver.!

Let’s get started!

This is how the packaging looks!

She follows the standard Nendoroid pack – she comes with two extra expressions, a number of arms and a couple of other little extras.

Kurisu wearing her white coat!

Kurisu comes from the SF adventure game Steins;Gate – in the game she often appeared wearing this white lab coat. This version also comes with different expressions to the normal Nendoroid!

The other Kurisu is wearing her casual clothes!

It creates a nice contrast when they are displayed with each other!!

This is how she looks from the back!

The stand is a sitting-type stand – you simply balance her coat to balance her. The inside of the coat has been made so that she can stand very stably.

Extra parts – crossed arms!

This is one pose that you just can’t go without when it comes to Kurisu.

She is your typical tsundere character!!

I’ve actually played through the PC version of Steins;Gate! It’s quite a mission to get ALL of the CG unlocked, but I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn’t played it yet. It’ll make you laugh, cry and wish for more!

She also comes with a Smiling Face!
Seeing her so happy makes me feel all happy inside as well…

She also comes with bent arms for an adorable pose like this!

Obviously you could replace one or the other with a different arm if you wanted to.

Some more extra arm parts…

Outstretched Arms!

When you use these parts her hair can get in the way on the right hand side, so there is an extra hair part to avoid the problem.

As an ASCII art lover, this expression is perfect for me!!

It’s a ‘ヽ(*ﾟдﾟ)ノ’ Face!

Otakana… excellent job in adding this expression in! I love it!

For those of you who aren’t quite sure what the expression is… it’s the face she makes in the game when explaining about the brain’s hippocampus!

Snow Miku wants to try it on!

It’s so adorable!!

You can also give the expression to the standard version of Kurisu Makise!

I’ll play with her more tomorrow!

But that expression really is just too cute…

Nendoroid Kurisu Makise:

White Coat Ver.!

She will cost just ¥3000! ヽ(*ﾟдﾟ)ノ

There are two ways to get your hands on her!
