]The 4th Good Smile Cup Figure/Model Contest Part 1: Built from Scratch
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
Today is Tanabata! Now that I think about it last year at about this time I was just coming home to Japan after visiting JAPAN EXPO in France !
Anyway, today Im going to be taking a look at some of the entries in the
4th Good Smile Cup!
What is the Good Smile Cup?
The Good Smile cup is a contest between the GSC employees as well as related companies, to see who can create something filled with love and originality! ★
The aim of the project is to simply create something you enjoy creating, and then to submit it for everyone to see! Its not at all serious or anything, but a lot of fun and interesting entries can come up!
However! Note that nothing shown here will be made into an actual product!!
Everything here was just made personally, and none of the items no matter how well made are currently being made into products!!
Anyway, the Good Smile Cup is divided into five sections this time! ♪
1) Kit Section : Made or modified from a model kit.
2) Built from Scratch: Figures made starting with nothing!
3) Other: Anything that fits nowhere else!
4) Kahotans Tasty NomNom: Photo Contest
5) woosers Not Tasty MonMon
The wooser one is a little special you need to transform the wooser included with Nendoroid Rin into something . amazing! Take a look at some of the ideas over at the Good Smile Lab!
⇒ Good Smile Lab Blog: woosers Not Tasty MonMon (Japanese)
Today Ill be looking at the entries in the Built from Scratch section! ♪

Nendoroid Raiden: MGS2 Ver.
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
I cant keep up with the constant changes in temperature how am I supposed to choose what to wear in the morning?! Anyway, today Im going to be taking a look at
Nendoroid Raiden: MGS2 Ver.!
RAAIIIDEN!!!
Following on from the previously released Nendoroid Solid Snake comes yet another character from the Metal Gear Solid series the silent soldier with a rather impressive body, Raiden is joining the Nendoroids!
His confident eyes have been faithfully Nendorofied down to the eyebrows!
Its not just his face that has been beautifully sculpted though! His impressive body is also definitely worth the look! ε=(｡・д・｡
Even over his suit you can see just how impressive that six pack is!
I also adore the shape of his left hand here!
The hand looks like it fits into the gloves perfectly, but at the same time they are so cute and puffy looking! By the way, even though this product does not have Edition in its name its actually fully articulated! Much more mobile than most Nendoroids!! (｡･ω･ﾉﾞ
The chest area features special articulation that allows you to take various action poses, or just pose him with his chest out to match his confident gaze! The connections for the arms are also ball joints allowing them to be placed at any angle to match your pose or even pose him holding the included assault rifle like so! ♪
△ This angle also shows the difference of the flow of his back and front hair!
It looks so smooth and flowing ! (/ω＼
His elbows, knees and even hips can be moved around allowing for all the fun and inventive poses that we saw with Nendoroid Solid Snake!
Plus! This time around a very special expression part is being included!!
Illustrated by the games art director, Yoji Shinkawa himself!
Oooooooooohhh!! (´□｀｡
Those eyes!! Theyre too amazing!!
The figures planner, Enon-shi went to Shinkawa-san and asked if he would be willing to draw an expression or even just eyes for the Nendoroid!
This is what came back in response !
A big thank you to Shinkawa-san!!
But thats not all he also comes with a sword for some close combat as well!
△ Its so easy to take action poses with full articulation!
The sword is also designed to slip inside the scabbard on his back, allowing you to pose him like this instead! (●´ω｀●
△ How can such a simple standing pose from the back look so epic ?
By the way, the scabbard parts attach to Raidens back where the stand normally connects, then the stand connects into the scabbard parts! Smart!
This keeps the scabbard firmly in place to make sure it doesnt get in the way of any of your poses! φ(．． )
Anyway, this means that three weapons are included! ☆
・Hand Gun
・Assault Rifle
・Katana Sword
Simply pick the weapon that you think suits him best! ♪
However were still not done! There is still one other part I have to introduce!
Here we go!!
A Naked Body!!
Special parts that allow you to recreate the scene where he was captured as a prisoner in the game! (/ω＼
This way you can enjoy his amazing body even closer than before!!

Preview: Nendoroid - Himouto! Umaru-chan: Umaru by Good Smile Company
Today's figure is fierce like a lion but as cute as a lamb. Everyone's new favorite imouto's betrayed her own laziness by making the jump the Nendoroid before her anime even comes out! Read on to find out how the rest of her personality made the transition to 3D!
Nendoroid - Himouto! Umaru-chan: Umaru [Good Smile Company]
"Onii-chan, do another conbini run for me!"
Teddy hoody on head and junk food in hand, Umaru proves that it's possible to be too relaxed in your own home!
*Production model cola will feature "ou" logo.
There's nothing quite like a late night cola to get your blood sugar going! And what better chaser than potato chips? Or pudding? Or just about any other junk food you can think of--Umaru-chan's got'em! Use this sparkly-eyed expression to show her appreciation of all things unhealthy.
She comes with four face parts in total--regular, smiling, sparkly-eyed and this spoiled brat expression. Of course she wouldn't be complete without this immovable sitting position, making her all set to enjoy indoor life at your place!

for reasons right?

There is a local comic shop that has this Nendo on the right.
Looks pretty bad but it was pretty cool seeing a really early Nendo.

If by "reasons" you mean because I beat the game 6 times when it came out, then yes! Get your mind out of the gutter!
This will be mine as well.
Ew lol, but guess the cheaper nendo type gets a cheaper package.
Wow, that is a shit package.
Yeah shame they didn't do a bit more fancy box, but hey again it a cheaper nendoroid type.
It looks like they also have a bit of a different stand, and the legs have a peg that inserts into any of the holes.

It looks like a prize figure packaging, which is a shame because Nendos have better quality than prize figures. Heck, even Chara-formes have a better box design.
Also, Noiz just arrived today:

Hard to say. Red is more iconic and they have only made domestic Nendos/Figmas for only a few. I got it just in case it never does... I just hope I entered in the right forwarding info :x

I've never forwarded (unless Buyee counts) and didn't really want to mess with it. Managed to get Red and he's a bit more important to me but I'd like Cynthia too.

Was at AX and got bitten by the Nendoroid bug for the first time and ended up buying 8 of them (a few of them sub $40) with number 9 coming through amazon (some bastard bought Houki at a higher price on the last day...).
I do have a question. Do they sell the stands seperately? The brace that came with the Nanasaki Ai figure i bought is loose and the screws are stripped.

Filled out and sent. Thanks.
Well this is a post long overdue since it's been like 2 months since Elsa got released? Ended up being busy and kept pushing it off. Anyways... here's pictures of my first Nendoroid.
And here are pictures of my second Nendoroid which I picked up last weekend at Anime Expo
Kind of wish they made a version of Suigintou using her first anime appearance design. They really need to continue that series

Just managed to snag a Totori Nendo on AmiAmi for 2.5k. Awesome!
She'll be shipping out the end of the month along with Yuuki Yuuna.

Just discovered this thread, and wow, I bought some Nendoroids last year during my trip to Japan but since I'm not really an avid collector of anything, it just didn't cross my mind that it could be fake. Maybe for some reason I subconciously thought I would not have to worry too much about that in Japan.
After a quick check I'm relieved they're genuine though, and I am somewhat interested in buying some more if any catch my eye, so lesson learnt!!

Is it somewhat common for Nendos to not have a directly connecting support arm? I got one of some Black Rock Shooter character and she doesn't have a socket in the back, she's got this concrete pile that holds her up by fitting behind her hair. Kinda odd.
What do people use to store their parts? I just left the extras in the boxes for now but I'd mess with them more if I had a neat sorted thingy that fit all the parts. Was going to put Len in Sonico's bikini body for a tweet but I'm too lazy

Yeah, some don't have holes for the arms. It was more common in older ones, but for example Elsa doesn't have one either.
I use a cheap nuts and bolts organizer from Wal-Mart. Was like $3.

I wouldn't mind doing something like that....but I just keep all the extra parts in their boxes.

Hm, was hoping for something larger I could label
Oh maybe THAT'S what that thing is...it has a big blunt thing on the end of an arm but I thought it was just to prop it up, maybe it is a magnet.

Yeah, it's likely a magnetic attachment. My Menma has the same thing.

Do we know what parts the Kirby nendo will get? I love Kirby but I'm not sure I see how he'd work as a Nendo. The <$20 10 kirby minifigs seem like a better idea, I bought two sets of those.
Wow a pair of eyes done by Yoji Shinkawa, looks awesome!
And that new Miku is sooooooo beautiful. So tempting heh.
Hm... Now I want a whole MGS nendo in that style.

Omg... I need that... Guess I'll need to use Amazon.jp again! As long as Cynthia goes smoothly.

N yesssss! I love this burst of Pokemon Nendos.
Who would they do next? I struggle to think of characters popular and singular enough from the games to justify a Nendo besides maybe Brock or Misty due to their anime star status.
Pre-orders open the 25 of this month!

They don't charge until you explicitly send them the payment for a complete order.
