The GSC Site on April 1st 2008
Who is Gumako? She was created only for the GSC’s April Fools back in 2008. She was supposed to be there for only 1 day. But she was very well received and has now become GSC’s mascot character! For your information, those tentacle thingys on her head are Udon!!!
|
——Description from Manufacturer—— Gumako comes from the country of Udon and is ready to show everyone the power of udon! The first product in the charity project dubbed ‘Cheerful Japan!’ is a Nendoroid of a character that was born as an April Fools joke in 2008 – but went on to become a full-fledged mascot of Good Smile Company – Gumako! She comes with a variety of optional parts as well, including a bowl of udon and a content ‘udon expression’ for her to show just how much she is enjoying it. She also comes with a Nendoroid Petite sized version of the GSC-Seijin mascot. She uses a posable stand which allows you to pose her soaring through the air – or in a number of other creative poses!

well “Shipping will be charged at 2000JPY to all countries.” .. why.. just why?.. I mean the figure cost nearly the shipping costs -.-‘.. you need double as much love to buy it. well I will buy it, but want buy the miku too ._.” missed her
You can look for people in your city to do a group order. The shipping will be 2000Y no matter how many you buy AFAIK.
In my case, 2000Y is a great price – it’s cheaper than the normal EMS shipping price to Brazil.
Cheers for that tip, Fychan. I know a lot of people around my way will want one, so I’ll take advantage of that fact.
I doubt you could order like 20 for the 2000yen. But since there’s the limit of 5 pieces it might happen that you can order 5 for the 2000yen shippingfee ^.^
At leat I’d ask GSC before ordering, just to be on the safe side^.^
I can’t order anyways, since I (and noone I know) don’t have a credit card^^
buy her from [link removed] thats what i’ll be doing works out at about 300jpy more and the shipping is probably slower but that means in my case i wont get charged customs so it’ll probably save me money in the long run and they accept paypal ^__^ i did the same thing to get cheer miku
Best default face ever! 😀 I like!
