Emma-chan Senpai Model Kit: Now accepting pre-orders!

Hello, Producer Kameyama here.

Pre-orders for Emma Koishikawa, aka Emma-chan senpai, are now available! 

As announced on the live show, there will be multiple versions of Emma-chan!

1. Emma Koishikawa【ST. IRIS GAKUEN GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER CLOTHES】

2. Emma Koishikawa【ST. IRIS GAKUEN GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER CLOTHES】 LIGHT EDITION

3. Emma Koishikawa【ST. IRIS GAKUEN GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER CLOTHES】DREAMING STYLE WONDERLAND PRINCESS

4. AFTER SCHOOL ANGEL ＆ DEVIL'S TEMPTATION SET

We'll start by taking a look at number one, the standard version of Emma.

*Please note that the product is not called "standard version."

The standard version includes "twisted torso" and "knees to chest" parts to recreate the various classic poses of the SOUSAI SHOJO TEIEN series. This version comes with everything you need to have fun with Emma-chan senpai.

There are three different skirts, "standard," "flowing," and "knees to chest."

The white line on the skirt comes as a separate part for the standard and flowing skirts.

Just note that the white line on the knees to chest skirt is not pre-painted.

*All parts except for the facial expression parts are not pre-painted.

*The white frills are recreated with separate parts for all three types of skirts.

All characters up to now have come standard with three heads, but Emma will come with two.

However, as the head for the twintails and bun hair parts is the same, she is still able to sport three different hairstyles.

Includes four bang parts.

She also comes with bangs with a headband for the wavy hairstyle and without a headband for the twintails and bun hairstyles.

For the headband bangs, there is a version that works with glasses.

For the headband-less bangs, there is a version that works with accessories.

The kit comes with five different hair accessories, so have fun mixing and matching.

The kit comes with the four pre-painted face parts shown in the photo, with an additional four unpainted face parts.

The expression decals allow for faces such as looking forward, looking right, and looking left.

These parts are exclusive to the standard version and are not included in the light version.

To truly show Emma's dainty size, we gave her parts that make sitting with knees to chest possible.

The illustration on the package was newly created by En Morikura!

This is a smaller kit with fewer parts.

Same as the standard version, the kit includes two head parts.

The kit comes with two skirts but does not include the knees to chest skirt.

The package features a full-body illustration of Emma. 

These are the pre-painted face parts.

The kit does not come with the pre-painted disgusted face included in the standard version.

However, decals can be used on any of the four unpainted face parts to create the disgusted face.

The AFTER SCHOOL ANGEL ＆ DEVIL'S TEMPTATION SET is a limited edition item and is only available in limited quantities from select retailers.

The kit includes Emma-chan senpai's absolutely beloved red dragon HEXA GEAR, Agnirage.

In the original HEXA GEAR Kit Block, it's a giant 1/24 scale model, but for this set, it has been shrunk down to be Emma's own model.

These are the included items.

Including attachments for the flying base, the mini Agnirage is made up of 10 parts.

It comes in solid red with articulated wings and legs.

The kit also features two mini figures of the angel and devil that are always tempting Emma in the four-panel comic strips.

Their parts come in red, skin color, white and black plastic.

This set crammed with all of Emma's favorite things even comes with her favorite food, potato chips, a bottle of soda and a game controller!

Users can enjoy recreating the scene of Emma playing with Agnirage like an action figure.

The set also includes two new face parts.

This is the proud wink face.

I went with a kind of dancing pose.

I don't think Emma from the audio dramas would actually ever do this, but it's super cute♪

The other new face part is the bold face.

For this face, we imagined what Emma would look like when she's showing off her model kits or after she'd just destroyed Kanata-kun (Madoka's little brother) in a game, haha.

DREAMING STYLE WONDERLAND PRINCESS

This Dreaming Style series kit features an Alice in Wonderland-inspired color scheme.

*The trunk is part of the separate kit AFTER SCHOOL TRAVEL TIME.

This is the four-panel birthday comic strip drawn by Ragho♪

All the second years in their Alice-inspired outfits are so cute♪

I kind of want to make a DIY apron and headband to recreate her outfit.

I've made a list of all the differences between the Dreaming Style kit and the standard version.

• Blond hair. These parts are also a little darker than Ritsuka's blond hair.

• Different eye color.

• Alice-themed outfit with an entirely blue color scheme and white collar.

*The color balance is different from the standard St. Iris uniform.

• Paler skin (Megami Device Skin Color C. The same skin tone as YOMI.)

• Includes discontinued braided bangs (also available in a glasses-compatible version).

• Different colored St. Iris school bag.

And that's just to name a few!

*The background card will be sent with the product for Kotobukiya shop online purchases or given at the register for physical purchases in Japan.

*The background card is a Kotobukiya shop exclusive in Japan.

One of the best things about this kit is the two additional bang pieces that don't come with the standard version.

This is the first time one of the bangs will show the character's forehead, so check it out if that's something you've always wanted!

As for the face parts, the kit comes with the same four included with the standard version.

But! With a different eye color.

We thought a lot of users would want to pair the blond hair with blue eyes, so for the first time in the Dreaming Style series, we changed the eye color.

(We had to create two whole separate paint masters for the standard and Dreaming Style versions. It was so much work...)

The Dreaming Style kit also comes with a newly drawn A3 background card of Emma's room.

Until now, we've always done massive B2 background cards of things like the ocean or pools, but this card is about half that size.

The background shows us the room that Emma's always drawing and assembling model kits in.

I wonder if anyone can name all of the model kits displayed on her shelves...?

Also, when you purchase the standard version of Emma at the Kotobukiya Shop, you will receive a special Emma's room "blank Ver." background card!

In the blank version, there is nothing displayed on her walls, so you can freely decorate her room!

My suggestion, get Bukiko's desk and place it in there to give Emma an actual desk to make models at.

Let's see what kind of scenes users can snap with the background cards.

*The background card will be sent with the product for Kotobukiya shop online purchases or given at the register for physical purchases in Japan.

*The background card is a Kotobukiya shop exclusive in Japan.

Look, users can even have two of them hanging out together.

(Scenes of Emma-chan senpai getting along with Ritsuka)

I took a ton more super cute photos, so take a look!

This one is Ritsuka dancing as she pretends to be Emma. They're wearing the same uniform but there is a whole 17mm difference between them.

That's 17cm if they were full-scale. What a difference!

Emma “Why do I feel like I'm being watched?”

Madoka “...😏”

Madoka can't help standing out even when she's hiding away.

The disgusted and upset faces are so fun! They can be used in so many situations.

Emma "A suspicious person! Come out, my Another!"

Man, Emma's so nice, she even makes sure to include an ad for the new model!

Preorders for Novice, the third character in the Megalomaria Unlimited Universe series are open!

For more info, check out the Megalomaria Unlimited Universe blog.

*EN translated editions to be uploaded soon!

To end things off, I got all four of them to take a group photo.

There was a big gap between Emma's announcement and release, but she's finally here!

She's the first character in season two, so we really poured everything into development.

Display her next to the first years in your collection!

I hope everyone keeps up the incredible support, keep an eye out for a separate blog post with all of the different combination examples!
