#514 Ryujo
This figurine is a Nendoroid rendition of the light aircraft carrier kanmusu Ryujo. As she is an onmyouji fleet girl her outfit consists of e dark red Kariginu-like top that are informal clothes worn by court nobles during the Heian period in Japan. Her long brown hair is tied in tidy twintails on both sides of her head.
The Ryujo, whose name translates as "prancing dragon", had a peculiar silhouette with a completely flat top, and was made lightweight with no armor to exploit a loophole in the Washington Naval Treaty, 1922. Correspondingly, she is an onmyouji fleet girl, short-ish, and her chest is flat. As the loophole was addressed soon after, she has no sister ships. Born in Yokohama, Ryujo speaks with a mild western dialect. Nickname: "RJ".

#520 Yamato
This Nendoroid is a firestorm of a battleship, the iconic kanmusu Yamato. The 46cm gun turrets on her back can extend forward, with every gun turret articulated independently, and Nendoroid joints allow for the whole rigging to open up. Her long brown hair is tied in a high ponytail with many of the individual strands swirling around as though they are blowing in the wind elegantly. She gives off a delicate appearance with the many cherry blossom flowers decorating her hair.
The Yamato did not see much actual fighting, but had luxury rooms and civilian staff like cooks and barbers, having thus netted her the nickname "Hotel" which she really dislikes, although she habitually calls herself that. Like Hiei, she mostly speaks of herself in the third person, implying a regard for her position and duty, and is as energetic, polite, and gentle as the Japanese Yamato Nadeshiko should be. She likes all things Japanese, which include ancient teru-teru bōzu and more modern ramune alike.

#542 Northern Princess
This figurine is a Nendoroidization of Northern Princess, a rather adorable Abyssal warship kanmusu, articulated down to the turrets' mouth parts being openable.
An abyssal aviation battleship, she is the youngest of the Princess line-up and is to, say, Seaport Princess as a child is to mother. The Akutan Zero plane connects her with the Ryujo which in real life had lost it earlier, allowing the US army to study the powerful aircraft and learn its weaknesses. The Northern Princess speaks in a low tone intermittent with shouting, giving her a mood of instability.

#551 Oyodo
This Nendoroid presents to you the light cruiser Oyodo from the game KanColle.
The Oyodo was built to command submarine ops in 1943 but never got to; instead, she has been carrying supplies under months of bombing around the end of the Second World War.
Oyodo's loquacity is formal and rich with navy slang, and she takes the chain of command very seriously. She is the one who dispatches kanmusu on operations. Oyodo is usually seen together with Akashi, who seems to be her polar opposite. In the anime, she assists Nagato. She is never seen actually fighting herself. Food-wise, she likes curry, rice, miso soup — all Japanese staples.

The large rigging parts include an arm catapult and a landing pad for her back, where Shiun aircraft can be placed. Besides those, there are the sea map, the desk, and the communication gadget for her HQ activities; as well as the feather pen and file from the 'Mission' menu screen, as seen in the game.
Purchase Bonus
Preordering from the GOOD SMILE online shop comes with a Nendoroid Ooyodo Special Box Sleeve and Special Nendoroid Base bonus.
#564 Katori
This figurine is a Nendoroid version of the gentle training cruiser kanmusu Katori.
Katori gives the name to her own class; in real life, she had been a ship to train officers on, and when disabled by American bombers during Operation Hailstone, even served as target practice for Admiral Spruance.
The fleet girl Katori is all about the mood of being a teacher, as well. She speaks smoothly, formally, and at length, but she is strict, while off-duty she is shown as quite the romantic and even a flirt when talking to the Admiral. She can cook katsu rather well.

| Price | US $43.99 |
| Release Date | February 2016 |
| Sculptor | Shichibee |

Additional Parts
Katori has her standard smile, the flustered 'half damage' expression, and her stern facial expression. Apart from all the usual Kantai Collection Nendoroid rigging, there are gunfire effects included for her ever-so-rare yet efficient fieldwork. Her trademark whip comes in both a bent and straight form, allowing for multi-figurine installations with the other Kantai Nendoroids in training. However, her gentle side is not lost with the inclusion of the coffee pot and cup, familiar from the in-game 'time announcement' screen.
Purchase Bonus
