1/8th Scale Miku Hatsune: Lat-type Ver.

My Melarus Slippers…

Have found a new figure!! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

It’s the Lat-type Miku-san we saw last week in Sapporo! She came home to the GSC offices… although I couldn’t find her for ages… for some reason she was on the 6th floor where all the sculpting takes place… at least I found her!

Good slippers! Bring the figure to my desk now!

Miku Hatsune: Lat-type Ver.!

This Miku was also on display at WonFes… I upped a picture of her on twitter and she was possibly the most popular of all the images I upped: http://twitpic.com/3www1b

Take a look at this video: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12976887

It’s a popular model of Miku created as a 3D model for MikuMikuDance (MMD) by Lat!

Those who use NicoNico might know that there is even a prize for the MMD video that gets the most “My List” adds on NicoNico! :O

This is how she looks from the back!

I wanted to take more of an angled shot but this was the best I could get… I promise that even the parts you can’t see are made just the like Lar-type model!

The hair is made from stunning clear plastic!
When you look at her from different angles the coloring on the hair varies slightly… it’s really fun to look at. I actually sat spinning her stand around for awhile just staring at how the hair looked different from different angles…

Lat-type Miku’s cute red glasses!

Another thing about Lat-type Miku is that she looks a little bit younger than the normal Miku… which is definitely visable in this figure. I don’t know how anyone couldn’t fall in love with face!!

And a red ring on her arm!

The normal Miku has a ’01’ symbol on her arm, but Lat-type Miku instead has a red band that goes around her entire arm! If you squint you can even read the tiny writing… I wonder how this is going to be mass-produced…?

The checked chain is really pretty!
You can see it at the back behind the skirt here…

And look at those thighs!! 😀

She also has a lovely little neck-tie

Another part of Lat-type Miku that sets her apart from normal Miku… the original Miku’s tie was much longer! Lat-type Miku’s tie kind of looks like it’s fluttering upward as well which really gives a dynamic feeling to the figure… it really seems like she’s dancing!

A close-up on her headphones!

This set of headphones is also a Lat-type specific design! They are made using 3D data so they are pretty nicely detailed… definitely worth a close look!

Her mike and glasses can be removed!

She even comes with an alternate mike that suits her better when she’s not wearing her glasses!

CUUUUTE!!

As you can see the mike is black and features a different design to the standard mike. (Apparently this was a request from Aki :P)

1/8th scale Miku Hatsune with Lat-type Miku Hatsune!

The original Miku was released all the way back in September 2008… but if you were watching the WonHobby TV9 Live Broadcast then you’d already know that…

1/8th scale Miku is getting a re-release!

She will be re-announced at the same time as Lat-type Miku is announced! They look great together, so if you ever grabbed the original consider picking her up this time!

Experimenting with Nendoroid Snow Miku’s Ice-tray!

4 days until the Wonder Festival!

A few days back I introduced the lovely…

Nendoroid Snow Miku:

Snow Playtime Edition!

But today we’ll be looking at one of the extras that comes along with her!

The Miku ice-tray!

This is the first ice-tray ever made by Good Smile, so it’s time to experiment!

The 3D data for the tray was made by Fuumin from the 3D Team!

The tray is made from EVA, the same material used for the umbrellas sold at convience stores. It feels a lot like silicone.

This Snow Miku comes with a load of extras that really make it worth your money… the only reason it’s so cheap is that we really pushed to make it as cheap as possible for the event. (Even if the ice tray wasn’t included, it would have been the same price :P)

Anyway, let’s give it a go!

Let’s top it up with water and take a look how the ice comes out.

Yamada is going to be helping me with the experiments!

Well… um…

　
　　　　　　／￣￣￣＼
　　　　　／　─　　 ─　＼
　　　／　 <○> 　<○>　＼.　　”That doesn’t really look like Miku…”
　　　 |　　　（__人__）　し　|　　
　　　＼　　　｀ ⌒´　　　　／　
　　　／　し　　　　　　＼

The center of the ice turns white which makes the shape quite hard to make out…

To help keep it more clear you can follow these steps:

– Before it freezes completely replace the water.
– Give it time to freeze completely.

I tried a lot of other things, but these two made the resulting ice much clearer. If you display the product with Nendoroid Petites it looks like they were making their very own ice sculptures!

This time I tried using tea!

　
　　　　＿＿＿_　　
　　　／　　　　＼
　／　　　─　　 ─＼　　　　　”Ooh…
／　　　（●）　（●）＼　　　　　That looks a bit better than the water!”
|　　　　（__人__） |　））
/　　　　 ∩ノ ⊃　　／
(　＼　／＿ノ　|　 |

It looks a little bit better because of the color.

I also tried some other drinks… here are the results:

Calpis: Turned out very jagged and hard to remove from the tray…
Coffee: Not bad! It looked very cute!
Sports Drink: Also quite jagged, but it worked alright.

It seems like if there are too many impurities in the liquid then it freezes much more jagged and falls apart much more easily… so in the end I recommend using tea and coffee!

When you want to get the ice out pour some tap water on the reverse side of the ice tray to loosen it!

Let’s move onto the next experiment! We need to get Miku looking more like Miku!

Let’s try making coffee jelly Miku!

All you need is gelatin, coffee and sugar!

You can find gelatin in the sweets section of most shops! Just be sure to put in quite a lot of gelatin, otherwise it won’t harden!

Place it in the fridge for about one hour!

Getting her out now is a little more difficult – but I found that poking the gelatin with a toothpick to let some air in while pushing on the bottom helped to get them out quite easily.

Miku Coffee Jelly Complete!

Oooh!!! This time you can make out both of them really nicely!

They are delicious just like this, but even better with some fresh cream or milk.

　　／　 ///（_人_）/// ＼　　
　 |　　　　 `Y⌒y’´　　　|　　
　　＼　　　゛ー ′　　,／　　
　　 /　　　　　ー‐ 　ィ

…this is the last experiment for today!

Miku Chocolate!

Now that we’re in February…

It’s the month of Valentine’s Day!

If you really want to impress that guy you’ve had your eye on then be sure to give him some Miku chocolate! I’ll go over how to make some quickly!

First buy some chocolate and cut it up into small pieces.

If you add some cream it might end up even tastier… but I was worried it wouldn’t harden as well, so I decided not to add any this time.

Place the bowl of chocolate in some boiling water to melt it!

You can turn off the heat of the stove completely and just use the heat from the water to melt it down… but be careful not to burn yourself!

Pour the melted chocolate into the tray.

It’s quite hard to get the chocolate to fit neatly into some parts like the hair – just find something to spread out the chocolate so that it gets into all the nooks of the mold.

The leeks are the hardest to fill with chocolate!

Adding the chocolate in as slowly as possible is the best way to make sure it’ll all fit in nicely.

Place in the fridge for a few hours!

These seem to have hardened really nicely… now I’ve just got to get them out of the tray!

Miku Chocolate Complete!

You need to get them out of the tray quite quickly – if you take too long trying to get them out then they start melting from the heat of your hands… ^^;

It’s probably a good idea to find a cool place to get them out.

　!　　 !　　　`Y⌒y’´　　　　|
　|　　 l 　　　ﾞー ′　　,／
　|　　　ヽ　　　ー‐ 　　ｨ
　|　　　　　　　　　　/　 |

For those wondering… we also tried using a few other ingredients:

– Instant Jelly
Miku came out broken up into little pieces… plus the jelly got stuck onto the tray and getting it off was a mission…

– Sherbet
Miku came out broken up into little pieces again… the sherbet is just too soft to hold a shape.

Warning Time!

Never pour hot water on the tray!

The tray will become distorted from the heat and lose it’s shape… I should know… because I did it once… orz.

Nendoroid Snow Miku

Snow Playtime Edition!

She’ll cost just 4000JPY!

She also comes with some warm clothes, a snowman and of course the ice tray!

There are three ways to get her!

Nendoroid Miku Hatsune: Absolute HMO Edition

The next few days are full of Nendoroid releases!

Nendoroid Kurisu Makise
Nendoroid Ui Hirasawa
Nendoroid Flandre Scarlet
And finally, the Nendo we’ll take a look at today –

Nendoroid Miku Hatsune: Absolute HMO Edition!

A fully posable Nendoroid!

She’ll be in stores on the 31st January!

This is how the packaging looks!

　　　　　　／￣￣￣＼
　　　　　／　─　　 ─ 　＼
　　　／　 [○] 　 [○] ＼.　　”T-That’s a lot of parts!”
　　　 |　　　（__人__）　し　|　　
　　　＼　　　 |r┬-|　　　　／　
　　　／　し　`ー’´ 　　＼

Not only is she fully posable, she also comes with a ton of extras!

For those of you who store the Nendoroid away in the blister pack after playing around with it can use this image as a reference as to where all the pieces go. Trying to figure out where all the little pieces go could take ages. ^^;

HMO Miku!

YMO (Yellow Magic Orchestra) released a CD called “HMO (Hatsune Miku Orchestra)”, which featured this version of Miku illustrated by manga artist Kuu as the illustration on the jacket cover – the jacket cover was so popular that it is now getting it’s very own Nendoroid rendition!

Her over-sized sleeves suit look great as a Nendoroid!
You can’t call that baggy look anything but cute!!

This is how she looks from the back!

Even her hair is fully posable!

Both the base of the twintails and extra parts along the hair have joints, so you can pose it in many weird and wonderful ways!

The stand she uses is the same that the fully posable Saber used – it connects to her back allowing lots of poses but also keeping her nice and stable.

Let’s take a quick look at all the extra parts… there are so many…!

First up – her headphones and two leeks!

Her headphones have a ton of wires coming out of them just like in the original illustration. The leeks can be held in her hands even though you can’t even see her hands because of her giant sleeves 😛

You very well might have seen this pose before, because…

It’s the pose from the HMO Jacket!

You can recreate the pose from the jacket cover nicely!

But there’s just one thing missing…

Her sunglasses! They’re included as well!

You need to take off her fringe parts to put them on, but after that they attach easily!

A winking face and an electric drum set!

The entire drum set is included with the figure! You can pose her playing the drums with her leek drumsticks!

But there are still even more extras for HMO fans!

Two keyboards and hands!

I was just as surprised when I first saw it. ^^;

Originally when the product was announced it only came with a single back keyboard… but it turns out you’ll get a gray keyboard as well! 😛

Apparently this is the keyboard that YMO uses, while the black keyboard is the one seen in the HMO PV. Apparently the gray keyboard was added because YMO asked for it specifically!

A ( |ω| ) face and a megaphone!

Even more extras that HMO fans will love! I’m personally really glad they included the elusive megaphone!

There are also extra parts to cover up the holes where her headset would normally be – so you can display her without it without the figure looking too strange. Yay!

And finally… her recorder!

Although in the HMO PV the recorder was actually played by Len.

Nendoroid Rin and Len came with blank faces… and this figure comes with extra face stickers to recreate HMO Rin and Len!

The stickers are located on the inside of the box, so make sure to find them!

Plus as a bonus you’ll also get a ticket that let’s you watch a special movie!

Just put the serial number into the website and enjoy the movie… who knows what you’ll get the privilege of watching! :O

The box really suits her colors!

Nendoroid Number 129!

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Playtime Edition

16 days to the Wonder Festival!

S-Sorry… I think we added too many things…

During my trip to China in December I was making sure that she was being made just right!

002

Let’s get started on the review!

This is how the packaging looks!

The pack is filled with extra parts! A Nendo Petite sized snowman, two different expressions, hair parts for a Hachune version, different hand parts, headsets…. and that’s not all!

She even comes with a Miku-shaped ice tray!

You can see the ice tray’s blue outline in the back of the blister pack.

003

A fully posable Snow Miku!

She’s back again for the 62nd Sapporo Snow Festival, to commemorate the giant snow sculpture of Miku at the event!

Some of you might be wondering about that.

SEGA announced it yesterday, but…
A new module featuring Snow Miku is coming to the PSP game ‘Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- 2nd’, as well as the arcade game ‘Hatsune Miku Project DIVA Arcade!

Snow Miku is going to be bouncing and dancing around in the game, so it’s only fair that the Nendoroid can do it as well!! If you’re looking for more info about the module, take a look at SEGA’s site below:

There are lots of other awesome looking goods on sale!

[SNOW MIKU for SAPPORO 2011 ]

http://www.crypton.co.jp/mp/pages/special/snowmiku2011/ (Japanese only)

004

This is how she looks from the back!

The silver snowflakes in her hair look just the same as the previous version… still just as beautiful as ever! The hair also uses clear plastic just like before… isn’t it beautiful!?

005

Let’s compare her with the last Snow Miku!

The left is the 2011 Snow Miku, and the right is the 2010 Snow Miku.

This year’s looks a little more grown up, but they’re both adorable!

You can put the new parts on the old Snow Miku!

The scarf, earmuffs and gloves all fit her perfectly!

Unfortunately the expressions are not exchangeable due to some changes in the design. (Although I’m fairly sure the expressions will fit on any new Nendoroids)

If you want to put the new expressions on the old Miku, you’ll have to use the new fringe parts as well!

007

Anyway, let’s get back to the new Miku’s review!

She comes with this embarrassed face!

Snow Miku was never based on any illustrations or anything, so all the expressions were designed by Kawapon. They were still being modified at the very last moments of being made… I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

008

The famous ‘Hachune Face!’

Although it’s a different Hachune face to the previous figure!

Of course she also comes with a ice leek to hold!

And using the new posability you can make epic poses like the one above!

009

You can take off all the winter clothes!

The scarf, earmuffs and gloves can all be removed! In place of the earmuffs you can put her black headset on for a more Miku-esque pose!

010

Nendoroid Petite-sized Snowman!

It’s got a Hachune face! And the arms are made of ice leeks! It’s adorable!

And because it’s Nendoroid Petite size…

015

You can switch heads with other Petites!

It uses the normal connector used in Nendo Petites, so you can try it with all sorts of characters!

Bonus Scene!

This is how she looks with the charming CHAN×CO Face!

The eye color even matches! It looks great! This face along with the Hachune face… I think I’m going to die from cuteness!!! Aaahh!!

012

Nyaa Face!

This one comes from Nendoroid Shiki Ryougi!

I wanted to try and pose her in a slick Shiki-like pose! It’s a lot of fun trying to think up and pose the fully posable Nendoroids like this!!

The first public view of this extra…

The ice-tray!

It is made of a very soft silicone-like material. This obviously came from the idea of making Miku into your very own ice sculptures for the snow festival!

I’ll post the results on the blog at a later stage!

Nendoroid Snow Miku:

Snow Playtime Edition!

She will be available for ¥4000!

I’m sure you’ll have fun with all the winter gear and the snowman as well! (･∀･)
