“No! The precious equipment I got from the admiral\u2026 it’s ruined!”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan<\/a><\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m always happy to gracefully enjoy a cup of tea… but if there are teatime snacks you can be sure that I’ll be munching down with fury!! I always look forward to the new snacks that come out around Spring too… I’m sure I’ll be munching on them soon!! (\uff1b \uff65`\u03c9\uff65\u00b4)<\/p>\n

Anyway!<\/span>
\nToday I’m going to be taking a look at Max Factory’s…<\/p>\n

1\/8th Scale:<\/span>
\nKongo: Half-Damage ver.! \u2661<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the popular social game ‘Kantai Collection -KanColle-‘ comes a 1\/8th scale figure of the Super Dreadnought Battleship, Kongo! She has been sculpted in her damaged version that is reached after falling below half heath.<\/p>\n

The damaged appearance shows off her captivating body beneath the ‘precious equipment’ she received from the admiral – and the damaged look of her outfit itself has also been very intricately sculpted for fans to enjoy!<\/span>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

“Wow! Congratulations!” \uff08*\u00b4\u25bd\uff40*\uff09<\/span><\/p>\n

We showed off the colored prototype some time ago, so apologies for the long wait for preorders! Max Factory has been working hard to make sure she was prefect before release!<\/p>\n

I figured everyone would want a closer look, so I stole<\/strike> borrowed it from Max Factory for a review! (\uff40\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb\u00b4)<\/p>\n

Let’s start off from with the ship parts on her back! \u266a<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each of the different turret sections each have their own unique sculptwork that shows off the damage in amazing detail!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “Take a look from the side too!”<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today we’re joined by the figure’s planner, Kaneko Nitohei<\/span>! (Max Factory)<\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “Every nook and cranny of the ship and turrets has been carefully sculpted to truly bring out a ‘damaged’ feeling. My personal favorite part are the points between sections, where you can actually see a cross-section of the ship!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/span>Ooooohhh!! ( \uff9f\u0434\uff9f)<\/span>
\nEven the layers on the inside of the ship have been included! <\/strong><\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “Obviously this part of the figure was never visible on the original illustration – but on the figure you get to enjoy the details from any angle you like!”<\/span><\/p>\n

The charred and cracked areas of the paintwork also add to the effect… it really makes you wonder what an epic battle she must have been in! ( -\uff89\uff6a-)<\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “Everything that was visible in the original illustration has been sculpted as faithfully as possible to the original. Take a look at the broken off piece on the left end, for example!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Y-Yes! T-This is quite the sight!! \uff1c\u25cf\uff1e\uff1c\u25cf\uff1e<\/span><\/p>\n

… the damaged design really does look just like the original illustration!<\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “You can see we put a lot of work into getting the heavy, boorish look of the ship parts right… but that obviously doesn’t mean we skimped on the sexy side!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kongo has a fairly revealing outfit even in her standard form… when it comes to the damaged form it really is quite a sight to behold! (*\u00b4\u0414`)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “Almost any angle you look from gives you a teasing glimpse of her lovely body!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The contrast between the dark, heavy ship section and the light, white clothes is simply amazing!!<\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “<\/span>Just to let everyone know in advance… as much is it may look like certain parts of the outfit may ‘flip’ to show more, that’s not the case! However… <\/span><\/span><\/strong>the outfit itself is ALL sculpted down to the finest of details!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

…! (\uff40\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb\u00b4)<\/span><\/strong>
\nSo what you’re trying to say is…!<\/span><\/p>\n

Forgive me Kongo…!<\/p>\n

*Now checking areas not visible in photos*<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong> <\/span>+\uff61:.\uff9f\u30fd(*\u00b4\u2200`)\uff89\uff9f.:\uff61+\uff9f<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “Everyone else can take a nice close look once she arrives at your home!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The little tears on her stockings showing off some extra skin are also lovely!<\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “It’s a very special figure that we’ve put a lot of love into. Both the heavy look of the ship parts and the sexy side of Kongo has all been faithfully sculpted! She’s really a pleasure to look at from all sorts of angles, so I hope fans will pick her up and enjoy!”<\/span><\/p>\n

A figure of the admiral-loving Kongo, ready to be loved back! ♥<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/8th Scale:<\/span>
\nKongo: Half-Damage ver.!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She will be up for preorder from the 11th April 2014!<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also see some more photos on the figma blog! She was introduced there yesterday: http:\/\/ameblo.jp\/figma\/entry-11818006549.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh yes! Kaneko Nitohei-san! I believe there are more Kanmusu Half-Damage versions on their way… right? \u30fd(*\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb)\u4eba(\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb*)\u30ce<\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “Yep! So far we’ve announced I-58, I-168 and I-19!<\/span>” <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of you may remember that I-58’s colored prototype was even on display at the Miyazawa Model Exhibition!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “She’ll probably be up for preorder… around next month?<\/strong>“<\/span><\/p>\n

Seems like we can look forward to KanColle figures from Max Factory for some time to come! \u03b5=(\uff61\u30fb\u0434\u30fb\uff61) <\/p>\n

But… why are all of the line-up after Kongo submarine girls?!<\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “That… would be personal taste! They’re adorable!” <\/span><\/p>\n

(Nitohei’s favorite characters often seem to be in the Max Factory lineup…!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

(\u30fb\u2200\u30fb) “I’m sure the Kanmusu figure series will continue for awhile to come! We hope the admirals out there will continue to support us!”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
