Pre-Order Megumin, Aqua, Darkness, Yunyun, and Kazuma to Save 17% Now!
Welcome to the Solaris Blog! ヾ( ʚ̴̶̷ .̫ ʚ̴̶̷ )ﾉ”
The anime gods have blessed us with hope. A boon of isekai comedy is on its way to our screens: Konosuba Season 3 was recently confirmed! And on top of that, a spin-off series about our favorite EXPLOOOOOSION fanatic Megumin is also in the works. (☆∀☆)
Provided the god behind this isn’t Aqua, we can expect good times are ahead of us once more!
Of course, when the anime pantheon favors us, figure makers do too! And I, the herald who’s always late to work, am here to bring you the good tidings. Today we’re taking a look at the Nendoroid re-releases by Good Smile Company! They’re all scheduled to arrive in October 2022, so pre-order today!
For those who haven’t watched Konosuba yet, here is a quick intro for you:
“Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!,” or Konosuba for short, is an isekai comedy series. For lovers of isekai, it’s a refreshing, side-splitting read and watch. For people who are just getting acquainted with the genre, it’s an awesome way to ruin isekai for yourself forever. (´∀｀；) But in a good way! The series jokes about and jabs at common isekai tropes in both anime and games, which is a fun way to lighten up the plot of other popular anime in the genre.
It tells the story of NEET Kazuma, who is taken to a fantasy world after dying. There, he teams up with a peculiar cast of adventurers, and together they go on a mission to kill the Demon King. Here they are, in their glorious Nendoroid versions! ( ⊙ꇴ⊙ )
The explosion expert, Megumin
Megumin, an Arch Wizard of the Crimson Magic Clan, is a prodigy in magic…kind of. All of her skill points were put into only one skill: explosion.
Her bubbly personality is what earned her a place in the hearts of Konosuba fans! Such is our love for her that the only Konosuba movie released so far is mostly focused on her, her family, and her people. Aaaand she’s getting her own series! (´ ⌣`ʃƪ)
See that cute outfit? Yep, we have a figure (by Chara-Ani) and corresponding Nendoroid (by GSC, of course) of it.
This look is actually the uniform of her magic academy, Red Prison. It’s flashy and chuuni, just like everyone in her village!
This uniform Nendo is a must-buy, by the way. Because despite all the great things that Good Smile Company has done, they failed on *one* little aspect, which is NOT INCLUDING CHOMUSUKE with the standard Nendoroid.
The indignation of this catless cat lady is immeasurable. (⋟﹏⋞) But my day isn’t ruined. I still have faith that they will own up to the mistake of forgetting a spellcaster’s most important companion by releasing a deluxe version of her Nendoroid, or something. Maybe when her spin-off series is released? I’m keeping my fingers crossed. 🤞
But until then, magic academy Chomusuke is here. We have this version of her Nendoroid both pre-owned and brand new, ready to ship. So go check it out!
Megumin’s standard Nendoroid comes with three face plates: a determined smile for introductions, a serious look for casting her spell, and blushing puppy dog eyes expression begging you to carry her home after she’s done being a bad neighbor to poor Demon King lackeys.
(◔ᴥ◔) 💥💥💥༼つಠ益ಠ༽
It also includes some cool effects, such as a flaming wheel of her focused spell, interchangeable gems for her staff, and the sparkle that glints in her crimson eyes whenever she gets a chance to show off her skill. ۹( ˒௰˓ )۶
Want an explosion of sweet chuunibyou? Pre-orders are currently open, so don’t miss out on adding this mage to. your party!
The self-proclaimed rival, Yunyun
Every prodigy needs a rival. With a tryhard mage like Megumin, she needs an equally tryhard rival. So Yunyun steps up to the plate!
This gentle soul probably spawned in the wrong area. She’s the daughter of the village chief of the Crimson Magic Clan. Unlike her flashy and super chuuni Crimson Demon peers, she’s very timid. In other words, she’s a normal human being. (￣∇￣) But even so, she still does her best trying to live up to the name of her people, and it’s just so adorable when she does!
She also comes with three face plates: her attempt at a Crimson Demon self-introduction, a teary plea to get an invite, and a sad look when the party goes on adventures without her anyway. ( ´•̥̥̥^•̥̥̥`)
You should console this sweetheart — she even has a fruit basket you guys can share. Pre-orders for Yunyun are currently open, so go show this girl some love!
The pain-loving crusader, Darkness
I mean, I get it that they don’t want to have two powerful spellcasters in their party. If they do, their tank would be out of a job. While it is an awesome idea to just be able to tag along, put in minimal effort, and reap the rewards…this is not an ideal adventure for the masochistic crusader, Darkness.
They say that if you love your job, you don’t have to work a day in your life. Darkness takes that advice to heart and applies her love of pain to her craft. Taking a beating is definitely much easier when you’re enjoying it. ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)
As skilled as she is pervy, she charges forth into battle to shield her companions with her own body, if need be! (or hopefully). The Nendoroid comes with three face plates: diet Saber; a coy “oh no, the enemy is stronger than me;” and a full-on TAKE ME face. ღ(◔ڼ◔ღ)
The set also includes a sword she swings a couple times before giving in to lust, two cabbage monsters, and her favorite armorless, banged-up look.
Be it at the frontline of battle or being dragged as bait for racing hawkites, Darkness is ready for anything you throw at her! Pre-orders are currently open, so don’t leave this warrior waiting!
The crybaby goddess, Aqua
It’s a good thing that the tank and the DPS are competent, because the healer…bless her heart. (￣∇￣;)
Aqua is a goddess who has way too many points in beauty and charisma, and next to none in power and wisdom. Granted, she is more powerful than the average adventurer, but the seriously low cap on her problem-solving abilities makes it tough to access her full potential.
The three face plates she comes with are her essential expressions throughout the series: the satisfied look of someone who just learned into a useless skill, a smug grin at Kazuma’s antics, and her final form — the crybaby. ( ಥ.ಥ) When beauty, divinity, and smooth talking fails, that’s when her element becomes apparent. Thankfully, that only happens when she has to deal with toads.
Or when she loses her precious stash of alcohol, which is probably why she’s crying. The set does include her trusty staff and her party trick fans, but no booze whatsoever. Another item for the deluxe Nendoroid, I guess!
This pure-hearted but airheaded goddess is also available for pre-orders right now. Please take her, I don’t want to hear her wailing in the warehouse later. 人 ´∀｀)
The panty thief, Kazuma
Finally, we have the protagonist, Kazuma: the quintessential NEET around whom this peculiar cast of beauties gravitates. He’s actually super cute in Nendoroid form!
Despite his rascally nature, you can’t help but feel bad for him sometimes, because those girls give him hell. (✿Ŏ⌓Ŏ) The set comes with three face plates: the very rare neutral expression, the near-constant щ(ºДºщ) face he has throughout the series, and his true roguish self.
He also comes with his trusty shortsword Chunchunmaru, a water spell effect, and Megumin’s panties. He’s a rogue through and through: unashamedly perverted and skilled in the ways of lewdness. (ತ◞౪◟ತ‵) Also, full of dumb luck, second only to Aqua’s.
We hope you enjoyed this one!.
Until next time! ヾ(＾∇＾)
