Today we move onto round three of the Mikatan Blog Takeover!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today I’ll be taking over!\u00a0 My name is Takamatsu, a new recruit over at Phat! Company<\/a>!! Originally the blog was going to be done by the long time employee Uchitarou, but there was a sudden change of plans! I’ve been placed in the hotseat! <\/strong>A big thanks for the opportunity! I’ll do the best I can!<\/p>\n

Today we’ll be looking at one of Phat Company’s upcoming releases!
\nDesert Army-san!!<\/strong><\/span>
\n\"001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Army-san is from everyone’s favorite English-learning comic in which Sgt. Hartman teaches everyone some very useful slang – ‘Mahou no Kaiheitei Pixel Maritan’! Some of you might find her very familiar… because she was released as a Nendoroid last year<\/a>! This time she is back in her desert combat outfit! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do take note that the product you’re looking at today is still being worked on<\/strong>, so it might differ from the final product!<\/p>\n

The main difference from the previous Army-san is the camouflage pattern! <\/strong>The original woodland camouflage has become the brand new ACU camouflage – in other words the desert camouflage, perfect for a tactical advantage! Here you can see the new Desert Army-san compared to the previous Army-san!<\/p>\n

\"002\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although it doesn’t make much sense to display both of them together… you can always just say they are twin sisters! :P<\/p>\n

Here is another shot from the back for you to compare the two!<\/p>\n

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

Up till here it’s mainly just the difference in color, but there are of course also new parts with the new Army-san!
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

First up is a brand new expression: A determined face!
\n<\/strong><\/span>
\n\"004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A valiant expression that makes her look ready to take on anything that comes her way! You just need to give her a weapon of some sort and then it’s perfect!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next up is another new expression: A drooling face!
\n<\/strong><\/span>
\n\"005\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Gyao! Time to eat!”<\/p>\n

A perfect expression for Army-san – she is always hungry and eating the strangest things! She also comes with hand parts that suit the expression so nicely – it’s as if she is ready to grab something to eat!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plus, as expected from Pixel Maritan, lots of weapons are also included!<\/strong>
\nAn M4 Rifle, M249 Machine Gun and M57 grenade!<\/span><\/span> <\/strong>
\nAll of which are freshly sculpted for this figure!<\/p>\n

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

Let’s take a look at the grenade<\/span><\/strong> first – she can hold it in her right hand!<\/p>\n

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

Even though the grenade is made to Nendoroid size, it’s still very detailed! <\/strong>Once you’ve pulled the out the pin be sure to throw it somewhere there are no humans or Nendoroids! (Or rather, just don’t pull out the pin :P)<\/p>\n

I’ve heard that in one of America’s rocket launcher instruction manuals there is some helpful advice that reads ‘Fire in direction of enemy.’<\/strong>, it makes me wonder if grenades would have the same information. ^^;<\/p>\n

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

“Stop it! Don’t be mean to me! I’m you!”<\/p>\n

The M4 Rifle and M249 Machine Gun<\/strong><\/span> are also just as wonderfully detailed as the grenade!<\/p>\n

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

Unfortunately, at the time of this blog, the M249 Machine Gun was away in production…<\/strong> but here is a picture of it from a little while back…<\/p>\n

\"010\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The M4 rifle comes with a AN\/PEQ15 and ACOG scope that can be attached to it! <\/strong>The ACOG scope makes the rifle seem a bit more like a sniper rifle!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The M249 machine gun also comes with two legs to help stabalize the gun when firing! I’m not surprised you see Magical Girls using weapons like these nowdays…<\/p>\n

\"011\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Don’t worry, I’ve got your back!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

And finally the biggest highlight of Desert Army-san!
\nThe M998 4×4 Lightweight Humvee!
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong>
\n\"012\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The humvee is filled with gimmicks – a Nendoroid can really ride inside it and the wheels really do spin – it’s a true Nendoroid-sized vehicle!<\/p>\n

\"013\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s it for today’s review of\u00a0 Nendoroid Desert Army-san!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You can preorder Desert Army-san over at Toretate! Happy Channel!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span>
\nYou can order her up until the 11th October 2011!\u00a0<\/strong> Be sure to order before then if you want to grab her!<\/p>\n

But that’s all for me today, thanks for reading! I’m sure we’ll be bringing you more and more wonderful things in the future!<\/p>\n

I’m going to pass the baton back on to Good Smile!
