Yeah, normally I just chose Nendos but S.H has the whole works with the goombas, pipes, etc. Thanks for the advice. I'd think it some more.
I sure hope my Cynthia charges from Amazon.jp soon. Had a bit of an issue with sorting out the billing and address. Think I should be good. Had my billing accidentally set to BiJ so it's a good thing I caught that!
I believe Cynthia at one point was available on the GSC store for a short time though? Much later from Amazon.jp orders though.

Cynthia was available on the GSC store, but only to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

only for southeastern Asia though
Ohhhh ok that makes sense. I mean, they might do the same thing with Red and make a localized version eventually, but I didn't want to take any chances.

.figma Venus de Milo
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
The bust I made while in middle school was Harry Potter! Back then everyone was trying hard to decide on what to make and I was just obsessed with Daniel Radcliffe
Anyway, today Im going to be taking a look at
figma Venus de Milo!★
Great job, FREEing! (●´ω｀●
From the same Table Museum series that allowed you to pose the Thinker in all sorts of fun and artistic poses comes a new addition figma Venus de Milo!
There were many times while I was taking photos of this figure that I forgot it was a figure! It really looks just like an actual sculpture, even though its a figma!
FREEing was kind enough to let me borrow the painted prototype, so I decided to review it for everyone today! (σ・∀・σ
Even though it is a well known sculpture, its amazing what changing the angle of the head or position of the camera can do to create a very fresh feeling!
Even in figma size, the details of the original sculpture are faithfully preserved!
Most people only know the Venus de Milo from the front, so seeing her from the back is actually a little strange! (Maybe thats just me though!)
What a lovely bare back!! (； ・`д・´)
The clothing wrapped around her hips also has a kind of grabbable appearance to it that I dont see very often on figma figures!
Anyway, when one thinks of what makes the Venus de Milo so famous, the first thing that comes to mind is of course her mysteriously missing arms! This aspect has been faithfully included as you can tell!

Nendoroid Shiren: Super Movable Edition
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
My favorite fillings for rice balls are currently salmon and cod roe but kelp and bonito flakes are also hard to resist! Who am I kidding I cant resist any riceballs, no matter the filling! (/ω＼
Anyway, today Im going to be taking a look at
Nendoroid Shiren:
Super Movable Edition!
Oooooooohhh!! (´□｀｡
From the famous RPG that you can play 1000 of times, Shiren the Wanderer comes a Nendoroid of Shiren from the latest game! His confident expression, crossed card on his face and sword and shield to get him through the dungeon are all faithfully included! ★
Even in Nendoroid size Shirens outfit has been carefully detailed! Note how many different sections all with different colors are needed!
Even the texture of the fabric on certain areas has been faithfully included!
His traditional hat and striped cape which are mementos of a friend are also looking lovely! (。・ω・
Note how each of the thatching lines on the traditional hat are carefully added to the sculpt!
Looking from the top
The top features an outward gradient, gradually becoming lighter! Both the sculpt and paintwork come together so well to make the hat look so perfect! ☆
By the way, as you may have noticed from the product name, this Nendoroid is a fully articulated Nendoroid!! ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ
Even the shoulders are fitted with joints, allowing for many more fighting poses with his sword and shield equipped! Not only that, but his knees are also bendable which makes the action poses look more dynamic and believable!
There are much more awesome action poses taken for the official photos which will be up on the GSC website, so be sure to take a look at them tomorrow! (･ω･ﾉ
Plus as Im sure youve noticed by now
Koppa is also included with the Nendoroid!
This little weasel is also articulated in all sorts of places for different poses! This includes his neck, lower body and tail! (σ・∀・

Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka: Training Outfit Ver.
Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
Bread in the morning, rice at lunch! Thats how most of my days go! My best type of sandwiches are the sweeter kings, with jams or peanut butter! Theyre even better as toast!
Anyway, today Im going to be taking a look at
Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka: Training Outfit Ver.! ★
Honoka-chaaan!! (/ω＼
The very first member of μs to join the second set of LoveLive! Nendoroids that allow you to enjoy your favourite characters in a more casual style!♪
This smile is just too adorable!!
Its like shes smiling just for my photos!!
The leader of the μs members who acts as a pillar for the rest of the group is ready to cheer everyone on with a smile! While its hard to move away from her cute face, there are other area to look at so lets move on to her outfit! (｡･ω･
In order to get the outfit minimized into Nendoroid size, a couple of details from the original design have been simplified, but the main details are all faithfully in place! Note the red and white stripes on her right wrist or the flaps of the orange sleeves!
Lower down we have short pants and leggings!
The more boyish appearance during training is very like Honoka but she still looks adorable in them! Plus she even comes with
Honoka-chans (and my) beloved bread!
The combination of this sparking smile and the bread in hand shows off just how much she loves it! ♡ She also comes with alternate bent leg parts for both the left and right legs, allowing for all sorts of energetic poses! (｀・ω・´)ゞ
Lets move onto her secon
(・∀・
It seem weve been joined by the figures planner, Hamako!
(・∀・
After all, the last set had them all in their Bokura wa Ima no Naka De outfits, which means they were focused on singing and dancing idol-like poses!
(・∀・
The smiling face above works great in all sorts of casual, everyday scenes!
(・∀・
Anyway, lets move on to the second expression!
(・∀・
Ooooooooooohhh!! (*´Д｀
(・∀・
Even the waves of her mouth have been sculpted in!! Its a work of art!
(・∀・
Its definitely shows a more comical side of Honoka that was never included with Nendoroid Honoka Kosaka! ♪

Too Cool For Old-school
When the Sega Saturn advertised itself as the "Theater of the eye," who knew they were talking about heterochromia? The colors of her irises are modeled after the controller buttons, which you can see for yourself on the Nendoroid-sized game console she comes with.

Got my Yoshino and Mario Nendoroid's today, the box for Mario is much bigger than standard for a Nendo.
I can vouch for this, as I also got my Mario Nendoroid in the mail today. I seriously wasn't expecting the packaging to be so big, but it's understandable when you view the contents:
I'm seriously hoping that Bowser, Peach, &/or Toad will be added to this line. I mean, we don't have a Koopa Troopa accessory for either Mario Brother, so Peach seems like a sure-fire way for that to happen.

Aww they look awesome together.
Onto the Sword Boy hype train, choo choo!
I know, right? I also find it funny that Mario is smaller than the standard height of your average nendoroid. +1 for green.
I found another pre-order candidate. Only recently heard of the Sega Hard Girls through the upcoming Neptune collab, and I'm all into the personified consoles. Also coming with a tiny Dreamcast is just too much! I really like her 1/8 scale skeleton figure too, but I don't collect any of the larger figures (but that translucent clothing... looks sooooo good!)
Hope they do more of these!
Hope they do more of these!
Oh god I just had the thought of maybe actually skipping snow miku 14 tomorrow even if I have the chance to get her, and just get a Kill La Kill nendo. I feel like since I looking forward to the 2015 one at least, that maybe I head off to giving one of my favorite shows some love and keep my want list to a minimum while I at it.

I just wish it was sword boys I recognized. They look great, but I usually don't buy a lot of stuff from characters/series I'm unfamiliar with.
Need more characters from older anime/manga/games! At least Marth is coming
I am beyond jealous. The prices for them are so good. Below MSRP even! Mako for $35 is DIRT CHEAP for what she's going for now! Same for 2014 Snow Miku >_>
Regular Mako is actually one of the very limited ones. Fight Club Mako is going to be more common than the regular heh (through expect her to go out FAST). I settle for whatever Kill La Kill nendo heh, while I fight off Snow Miku (I getting 2015 one in a couple weeks :x), but I check out the fight club mako for sure first if they still have her.XD
Yeah I plan on getting Fight Mako on the store when she goes up, but I'm still surprised with how quickly the regular one shot up in price! So so many regrets... Why did I get into these so late?

All the Kill la Kill nendos seem to shot up now actually. Think I glad I decided to focus on checking out one of them then.
And yeah the regrets, and I pretty much have to sacrifice probably most of the nendos I wanted to look into heh (not that I had that many anyway), and Snow Miku 2014 will be the latest.
I might also check out one of the Kill La Kill artbook too if they still have them later on, I don't know, I see.
I held off from Ryouko and Satsuki, at the time thinking I could get them a bit later on like many Nendos for pretty much MSRP. NOPE! Was at a con this year and Ryouko and Satsuki were $100 with Mako at $150 (and she sold when I walked by the shop again). Geeze... I think that was the only seller that had them too.

High Score Girl Nendo?
Sold.
Sold.
Didn't go cause I was in the long line that was for gsc store.XD But I think I saw majoras mask link nendo on display. Had to go soon after I was done with the store through.
Anyway so after like 2 1/2 hours, I got a shirt, that little witch academia book, and finally fight club mako, which they had loads of apparently. The three other kill La kill nendos went out so fast lol. I surprise re-class hanged around still when I got there.
I not opening her yet till I get home, but fight club mako looks really good!

Well I back home from Anime AX. What a blast it was. See you next year AX! I see Fight Club Mako finally sold out sometime between 10:30am-2:00pm today heh. So I ended up getting this little gal from today lol.
It one of those Nendoroid Plus: Snow Miku and Friends from the North or whatever heh. Really cute and will go well with Snow Miku 2015 I sure.
And course I excited to open up Mako. Think I do it tomorrow through.
Edit: I lied, took her out to display her with her default pose.XD She a bit complex lol, but neat otherwise. You can kind of have normal Mako, well Mako without the coat and hat. I hate the green reed she she would have sticking out from her mouth through. So freaking small and thin, and it a pain to insert it into that hole on the side of her mouth, so think I screw it entirely. I get into more details and pics tomorrow as I mess around with her more.
I have loads of pics, especially of the nendo exhibit, some of which I post up later.

Heh cute. I missed those blind boxes I guess.
Well anyway took out Mako and checked her out a bit. You can kind of have a regular Mako if you remove the coat and hat.
She pretty cool, but coat can be a bit of a hassle to deal with, and the worse is that green reed sticking out from her mouth which was pretty annoying to insert in. Also kind of wish they threw in another faceplate heh, but whatever. Still pretty happy with her, and I glad I got a Kill La Kill nendo heh. The crying props are also very nice, and course I going to use it on other nendoroids.XD
