\n<\/strong><\/span>The damage that has occurred during the March 11 quake in the Touhoku region is astounding, and in order to get over the destruction caused there is a lot that needs to be done, and lots of support that needs to be given. Good Smile Company has formed a support group named ‘Cheerful Japan’ which will strive to support the relief efforts for as long as possible. For at least 1 year we be releasing charity products among other efforts to raise donation money for the cause. To everyone who supports the Cheerful Japan movement – thank you, and know that your money is going where it is needed!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

To support the relief efforts up North, we will be announcing a charity product every month on the 11th, starting with this month and continuing for a year!<\/p>\n

The first ‘Cheerful JAPAN!’ product, is…

Nendoroid Gumako: Support Ver. !<\/span><\/p>\n

Gumako’s Secrets<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u3000\u30fb She was once a show girl for ‘GSC Udon’ at a udon shop in Matsudo.
\n<\/span>\u3000\u30fb She had a side job working as an announcement giver for GSC.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u3000\u30fb The things on her head are ‘udon’.
\n<\/span>\u3000\u30fb She gives depressed people some of the udon to cheer them up.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u3000\u3000 She sometimes eats them herself too. <\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

-More Info-<\/p>\n

Gumako once ran out of energy and collapsed only to be saved by the owner of an udon shop. She then realized the power that udon has at cheering people up and giving them energy, and named that ‘Udon Power’.

The GSC Site on April 1st 2008!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Gumako was born as an April Fool’s joke!
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Even through she was only there for one day, she was very well received and has now become GSC’s mascot character!\u00a0 A lot of people have been asking for a figure of her, and it has finally come!<\/p>\n

Plus it’s the first in the ‘Cheerful JAPAN !’ series! Gumako!
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"003\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is how she looks from the back!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Her wears a pure white outfit, boots and gloves. It’s a very simple design, but it still looks great! The little orange stripes are also a nice cute touch – the Good Smile color!<\/p>\n

The Udon on her head are also posable!
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As with all Nendoroids she also comes with optional parts!<\/p>\n

First, a bent arm and bent leg!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

You can make cute poses like this one by using these parts! Plus just look at those puffy sleeves… they’re adorable!<\/p>\n


\n\"009\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

She comes with an udon face!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the first time we’ve seen this expression!
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Definitely an expression with a unique feeling about it!! Just by looking at it I feel a little relaxed and happier! I think this might be love!
\n\"005\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The reason it’s called an Udon face is because she has it when eating udon… which means she also comes with…<\/p>\n

Udon, chopsticks and arms to hold them!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

It shows you just how happy she is when eating udon!<\/p>\n

This is what she calls, ‘Udon Power’!!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/a>\"006\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Gumako enjoying her udon!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

You can’t really see that well in the photo, but the quality is really astounding! I’m certain the sculptor must also make the food models you always see outside shops!<\/p>\n

\"007\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s all the bonus parts for Gumako, but as an extra bonus…
\nShe also comes with a mini-GSC Seijin Mascot!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

You see this mascot all over GSC things, so he has been included in Nendoroid Petite size! His two arms (tentacles?) are also fitted with joints for some posing!<\/p>\n

\"008\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gumako is flying!<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the BRS Chan x CO face! It’s still undergoing a few changes, so it might change, but at the moment she is very compatible with other expressions!<\/p>\n
