Geez. I love Bowser, but I don't know if I want to go through the hassle of Tenso for him. :/

Pay straight away or pay later available on NY & BiJ.

 

[Quonny]

Disgusting Miku wanna-be.

Pay straight away or pay later available on NY & BiJ.

Actually, I'm assuming they'll eventually hit America like every other Mario S.H. Thanks though.

 

[Amalthea]

Man, the other day I thought how sweet a SH Figuarts Freddie Mercury would be but they gotta fix that weak ass moustache on that figure until the release.

 

[The_Kid]

Sooo, I have a question about importing these figures with Tenso. I didn't know if this would be an appropriate enough thread to ask. Anyways, I ordered one from Amazon Jp, said it arrived at Tenso on the 11th, and I still don't have a notification to pay. I apparently entered my membership id in Amazon as a different number than mine. >.>

Am I just out of luck?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Filthy lies.

You don't pay until you tell Tenso to ship it to you.

 

[The_Kid]

You don't pay until you tell Tenso to ship it to you.

Well Amazon charges you when it ships to Tenso.


But they replied to my email and found it unregistered in the warehouse, putting it on my page. Thank God.

 

[Replicant]

Well Amazon charges you when it ships to Tenso.

Sorry, I thought you're talking about Tenso. But yeah, Amazon charges the minute they ship it to Tenso.

 

[bigkrev]

Kaito finally came! I tried a cheap shipping option from Amiami this time instead of EMS because it was just 1 figure (my Link-MegaMan-Hinata box next year will be EMS'd), and it only took a little over 2 weeks for the figure to arrive

Also, my first Nendo that came with a special leg attachment that can support the figure, instead of needing to use the crane. Hope more figs use this in the future.

 

[Curler]

Hey guys question...

So I went to change payment info for my Harvest Moon Miku and Mako Nendos, and realized that both of the GSC stores have merged (finally) since I only had to log into the main one to change my information. Since this has happened, would there be any chance that GSC can combine the 2 items since they come out around the same time? Before I know you couldn't since the sites were separated.

 

[arue]

Also, my first Nendo that came with a special leg attachment that can support the figure, instead of needing to use the crane. Hope more figs use this in the future.

I think the special leg attachment is only special for the Senbonzakura nendos, so you can pose them while still making the writing behind their back visible. Miku Senbonzakura has it too.

But yeah, I with more nendos come with that because they look nicer in photos.

It's really annoying how the version that Kahotan use for her blog have those leg attachment. But the mass produced ones always get the matrix back hole treatment.

 

[drunkendonuts]

took some more pictures of my boat girl trash, plus i just got yamato in this week

 

[Akibared]

I can trust that Amazon Prime seller won't be selling bootlegs right? The reason I ask is because I was looking at buying this but comments were conflicting on if it was bootleg or not.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I can trust that Amazon Prime seller won't be selling bootlegs right? The reason I ask is because I was looking at buying this but comments were conflicting on if it was bootleg or not.

Generally, you're rolling the dice with Amazon unless the item is listed as being "fulfilled by Amazon." That said, you should compare the going aftermarket price of an item with what it's being sold for. In this case, it seems to line up pretty evenly, so it's probably legit.

 

[shadow2810]

I can trust that Amazon Prime seller won't be selling bootlegs right?

One of my snow mikus was from Amazon and I had no issue with her. Just avoid anything from China. And it's easy to return stuffs to Amazon incase you get bootlegs.

 

[SmithnCo]

I can trust that Amazon Prime seller won't be selling bootlegs right? The reason I ask is because I was looking at buying this but comments were conflicting on if it was bootleg or not.

They should probably comment on the seller's profile if they got a bootleg, as it depends who they ordered from really. Obviously China is a big red flag.

In this case, I've ordered a nendo before from the lowest Prime seller on that item and it was legit, if that helps.

 

[Akibared]

Thanks everyone!

 

[dakkumauji]

got around to opening some nendos today:

Senbonzakura Kaito is so cool. I like they gave him a magnetic hat too.

Umaru-chan with her bunch of faces and accessories that I couldn't choose what to use. So I went with the forgotten vita.

Bonus, found an use for the swordboys sleeping bags. Wish there was one to match her lol

 

[BGBW]

I currently have her holding the "vita" next to my Wii U GamePad. At her scale it looks like she's holding one too since it's just a black slab.

Nendoroid Maki Nishikino: Training Outfit Ver.
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Yesterday was ‘Health and Sports Day’ here in Japan. I’m ashamed to say I didn’t do anything particularly sporty or healthy…

Back during school my worst two subjects were physical education and maths… also cooking… in fact, most home economics classes.

But anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Maki Nishikino: Training Outfit Ver.! ♪

From the popular anime series ‘LoveLive!’ comes a Nendoroid of Maki Nishikino wearing her training outfit! She comes with both a winking expression as well as an embarrassed, upset expression for when the others are making fun of her.Optional parts include her cellphone as well as a drink to sip on when she is taking a break between training sessions! A special ‘holding hand’ part is also included for use with the ‘Ima wa Bokura no Naka de’ LoveLive! Nendoroid series.

Not only good looking, but intelligent to boot!♪

The lyrics writer for &#956;’s and incredible singer with a rather serious personality! Maki Nishikino is joining the Nendoroids again this time in her training outfit! Maki’s choice of outfit has a nice mixture of cool and cute colors! The hair tied up at the front has also been preserved making for quite a large change for her previous Nendoroid! <&#9675;><&#9675;>

Her first expression is this winking expression which combined with the folded arms pose creates a very confident look that suits Maki very nicely! Even her rather simply hat has been carefully sculpted – note the folds and layers on the back!

The way her hair is bunched up at the back is also lovely!! I think this kind of hair style is rather rare for Nendoroids!! &#9734;

I personally love the way her index fingers are pointing out! &#9825;

&#9651; It gives her a rather smug appearance!

Her hat can also be removed allowing for a rather different appearance to enjoy!

She comes with bent left and right legs which can be used for all sorts of things, as well as various different arm parts! I made this pose as a kind of mid-training pose! Maki might not be that great at exercise, but she still gives it her best!!

Maki is the 6th character to join the Training Outfit series! All of the first years and second years have now all been completed! (&#65377;&#65381;&#969;&#65381&#65417;&#65438;

--------
--------
Moving on to her second expression! &#9834;

Her second expression is quite a turn from her confident winking expression! Her second expression is an upset, embarrassed expression! (´&#9633;&#65344;&#65377

This expression is based on the scene in season one where Nontan kept taking close-up pictures of Maki-chan and she really didn’t want her photo taken! The combination of embarrassment and a slightly angry look captures Maki-chan’s personality very effectively!! &#9829;&#65038;
I think I would compliment her more and more and make her even more embarrassed! It’s so cute!!

She also comes with a drink to hold while she is taking a break from training! This photo captures her as you say something to her during her break! She is rather surprised that you suddenly called out to her, but at the same time looks like she might be a little happy that you did!! &#9733;

Plus she also comes with another optional part!

Her smart phone is also included!!

&#9651; There were quite a few scenes where she was using her phone in the series!

Nendoroid Petite: Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- 1st Squad
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Thanks to everyone who just watched the live broadcast! I hope you enjoyed it!! Now I’m going to be taking a closer look at each of the sword boys in ORANGE ROUGE’s latest product…

Nendoroid Petite:
Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- 1st Squad!

From the popular browser game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- comes a set of six cute and small articulated Nendoroid Petite figures! The set features the five starter swords Kashu Kiyomitsu, Kasen Kanesada, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, Hachisuka Kotetsu, Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki as well as Yamatonokami Yasusada!Each of the characters keeps their unique personality and style, even when shrunk down into a size even smaller than normal Nendoroids! Recreate your squad in adorable size!!

Apologies for the long wait since WonFes! (´&#9633;&#65344;&#65377

The Touken characters have been shrunk down to an even smaller size than standard Nendoroids to the approx. 65mm high Nendoroid Petite series! This first set contains six different characters including Kashu Kiyomitsu, Kasen Kanesada, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, Hachisuka Kotetsu, Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki and Yamatonokami Yasusada! &#9834;

Even though they are so very small, I’m sure you can see that the attention to detail on areas such as the intricate outfits, accessories and the lovely flow of each character’s hair is absolutely fantastic!! &#9825;

They look just as good from the back as well! (&#963;&#12539;&#8704;&#12539&#963;

The different outfits and hairstyles of each character have all been captured so effectively even from the back which isn’t even visible in the original illustrations!! Each and every detail has also been polished to perfection to ensure a set of figures that fans will be proud to add to their collections! &#9733;

Let’s take a closer look at them one-by-one!

Erina Nakiri
Today’s main feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Erina Nakiri!!&#9829;&#65038;

From the anime series ‘Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma’ comes a long-awaited scale figure of “God’s Tongue” Erina Nakiri! The figure is based on the reaction scene to Erina’s Eggs Benedict during the breakfast buffet challenge of Toutsuki Culinary Academy’s ‘Hell Training Camp’.Erina is posed seated on a carefully detailed throne wearing a very noble looking outfit, as she looks ahead with complete confidence. Her soft skin and alluring pose are sure to make fans fall into servility! A special base made in the image of the scene is also included to bring out the atmosphere even more. An optional translucent hand part is also included to pose her foot being held up just as in the series. Be sure to display her up high and swear your service to the noble Erina!

Oooooohhh!! (´&#9633;&#65344;&#65377

The Toutsuki Culinary Academy High School 1st year said to become the greatest masterpiece since the founding of the academy – the “God’s Tongue” Erina Nakiri as a 1/8th scale figure!! &#9829;&#65038;

Some of you may have already seen her little feature in the Weekly Shounen JUMP magazine that went on sale today!! &#9834;

Her beautiful long blond hair and stunning eyes, not to mention those incredible curves…

Also note the amount of detail put into each of the creases and frills of her dress!!

If I didn’t know better I would almost be certain that the outfit was made from fabric! Also take note of the little details such as the area around her belly button, or the intricate fingers wearing long gloves!! (&#9679;´&#969;&#65344;&#9679

Plus if the beautiful figure itself wasn’t enough, just look around her…

She sits upon a magnificent throne worthy of only the most noble!This is of course because her cooking will cause anyone to fall into servility! The pose and the throne give her such a powerful aura!! Even from the back the details on the throne are gorgeous!

The figure captures that line between the petty commoners and the elite Erina so beautifully!

Those red and gold colors match each other so nicely!! The base also comes with a special base to place the throne upon in order to have Erina ‘looking down’ on all those below her!! It’s perfect!! &#9834;

The appearance of the cushion on the throne makes it would look so soft and comfy to sit on!! Note the buttons on the back to give an even more noble appearance! A throne fit for a queen! (*´&#1044;&#65344=&#1079;

The figure is based on the reaction scene to Erina’s Eggs Benedict during the breakfast buffet challenge of Toutsuki Culinary Academy’s ‘Hell Training Camp’!! Eating her delicious meal caused the diner to wish to swear servitude to her more than anything else! &#12541;(*&#12539;&#969;&#12539&#20154;(&#12539;&#969;&#12539;*)&#12494;

In order to recreate that image even further, a transparent hand part is also included to hold her foot up!

My placing this part on the bottom of her shoe…

You can just imagine someone swearing loyalty with a kiss to the foot!

Nothing is more convincing than a kiss to the foot to declare your fealty to the beauty that is Erina Nakiri!

&#9651; I quite recommend looking up to her from a lower angle!

A confident smile, relaxed pose, not to mention a rather revealing outfit…
…and yet she still looks so very dignified!!

i fear i might end up getting more of these...

[Bremsstrahlung]

My Kiyomitsu just shipped apparently, will probably be here in about a month. Yay. He'll be my fourth.

In other non-nendoroid news, the figma Lucina I ordered just arrived at my relatives' place and I'm kinda anxious to pick it up.

 

[Kazzy]

I'm spending my final days of living in Tokyo by doing the only sensible thing, buying more nendoroids!

I've actually only seen these a couple of times, and even then, they are pricey. Was tempted to finally take the plunge!

Weren't you selling figures, not buying more of them? ;P

I saw them in shops in Canada, and didn't even know they existed then! I wish they had plug suit versions though, since I'm not a fan of racing suits.

EVA is EVA, and it might be the only nendoroid representation they get. I'll take it! But yeah, the racing ones tend to be part of giveaways/lotteries, so they never enter general rotation, so it makes sense that you rarely see them.

They were also selling the latest Racing Miku, and it took some restraint not to get that too.

...Also the Winter Miku that wears the jacket and glows.

Spoiler

Best one.

I keep procrastinating on grabbing Umaru but the more I see her, the more I want her. I think I might throw down some cash for her once I sell my gaming stuff this week. :X

 

[Curler]

Winter Miku 2014 > 2012 > 2013 > 2015 > 2011

it is known

They're pretty hard to rank!

I'd say for me: 2015 > 2013 > 2014 > 2012 > 2011

They get better as the years go by However, I'd have to see an actual 2016 to see where she would go. Maybe below 2013 as far as the concept art goes, but I'm sure the actual model will be better (thus harder to judge...)

 

[shadow2810]

2014 > 2013 > 2015 > 2012 > 2011

Still I need to get 2011 ver at some point to complete my Snow Miku collection.

 

[shadow2810]

How do you guys store your nendo parts? I keep them in their boxes and now it's starting to become a chore each time I want to switch parts.

I keep 'em in the boxes too, it does get to be kind of a pain, but I'm used to it already.

anywho, for my birthday yesterday, spoiled myself a bit and got that very cool, very expensive sphero bb-8, best part is it's small enough to take pictures with nendos (i also have nendoroid tsubasa hanekawa and celty sturluson on the way, might arrive tomorrow!):

Adding Black Lady Figuart to my wishlist, but I'm still sad that the Bluefin-Amazon partnership is ruined, somehow :/

 

[Replicant]

I finally relented and pre-ordered Erina-sama. I'm not into scale and I wish this was either Nendo or Figma but it looks so close to the anime likeness that I can't resist anymore. >_>

 

[srst]

Stealth Figure GAF? I'm not complaining.

 

[phoenix296]

Needs more nendos.

 

[Curler]

Needs more nendos.

And more diversity too, plz. The game-based ones are great to get more near characters out as Nendos, but lately I feel like 80% of recent ones have been idols are boat girls :x Super popular in their niche, but not something I'm a fan of. Needs more older characters too...

Yeah, I was kind of thinking the same, when I was looking over my collection and realised that barely any of them are males. There's not a whole lot of diversity in nendos, and by extension, figures in general.

That said, they are catered towards a niche, and they know what sells.

 

[spiritfox]

Still waiting for my Nozaki Nendos.

Still waiting for my Nozaki Nendos.

The fact that there are K-ON! nendoroids, makes me hold out hope that there will eventually be more.

Because, you know...Hyouka!

God bless sword boys. Bringing my Nendo gender ratio to 5 males|6 females.
