\nThe 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!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For each sale made, Good Smile Company will donate 1000JPY!\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A bright, cheerful yellow to cheer everyone along!! The yellow and orange really contrast nicely with her pure white outfit!
\n\"006jpg\"<\/p>\n

The shiny outfit is so adorable!!
\n<\/span>
\nNendoroid Gumako didn’t have the glossy treatment that the 1\/8th scale figure will have – it really gives her a kind of futuristic atmosphere!<\/p>\n

I think my best part about her is that hip-line though!!
\n<\/strong><\/span>The way the sculpting gives the material a kind of sticky look is incredible!!<\/p>\n

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

Beautiful eyes and a “\u03c9” Mouth!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Using that cute mouth is unfair play! It’s too cute!! Could there be anyone who doesn’t think that is cute?! I highly doubt it!<\/p>\n

It might be hard to tell due to the lighting in the photo, but they eyes also have a lovely glossy finish!<\/p>\n

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

Replaceable parts to remove the pompons!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you just want a standard Gumako without the pompons, you can just do a quick switch at any time!<\/p>\n

<\/strong>What the?! Where am I?! It smells so good…. it must be Mikatan Blog!!<\/p>\n

Hello everyone, my name is Hiroyuki Tsumezuka and I’m the sculptor behind GSC’s 1\/8th scale mascot character, Gumako!<\/p>\n

I’m so glad that I was able to be involved in sculpting a figure that is related to Good Smile, my #1 figure making company! (AL*ER must be about #3…). But seriously, I didn’t think we’d get the chance to see a mascot character of one company be sculpted by another company…<\/p>\n

But because you let us, I was able to have great fun sculpting everything from the tentacles down to the pattern on her panties. Whenever she has been displayed at events in the past, I could really feel the love for GSC overflowing from the Gumako prototype… or that might have just been the udon tentacle helmet and her lovely body that everyone loved? ^^;<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to see much more of Gumako in the future! I’ll be rooting for her whenever I can! By the way, does the “helmet” refer to the hat she wears as a whole, with the tentacles? There are still so many mysterious behind Gumako!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’ll be off now – sorry for the intrusion, Mikatan!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tentacles and panties patterns… you sound like such a pervert!
\nBut that’s why we love you!!<\/p>\n

And now for some quick Gumako news!!
\nThe Gumako account on twitter (\uff20gsc_guma) that gives GSC news has just reached 10000 followers!
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In commemoration, a look at Gumako’s secrets! Everyone who grabbed Nendoroid Gumako, check the back of the included stickers! (Sorry, it’s only in Japanese!)<\/p>\n
