Nendoroid Co-de Hatsune Miku: Red Feather Community Chest Movement 70th Anniversary Commemoration Co-de

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I am already thinking about what to do with my next long weekend. But the nice break has left me ready to work hard once again!

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Co-de Hatsune Miku: Red Feather Community Chest Movement 70th Anniversary Commemoration Co-de!

A Hatsune Miku Nendoroid Co-de figure made in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Red Feather Community Chest Movement. She holds a red feather in her hands with an gentle smile on her face and wings on her back creating a truly angelic Miku to add to your collection.

* This product also includes a rubber strap.
* For each figure sold, Crypton Future Media and Good Smile Company will donate ¥300 to the Red Feather Community Chest Movement.

“Supporting one another for a better future.”

An angelic smiling Miku-san holding a red feather is joining the Nendoroid Co-de series!

That cute upward glance, blushing expression, angel wings and that lovely red feather… she really is such an angel!! The figure is also a special charity item for the Red Feather Community Chest Movement, and comes with a special round base with the logo on it! Her futuristic outfit also has a nice glossy effect to it that really makes her stand out! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The skirt has been sculpted spread out a bit as if the wind is blowing around her, which suits the feather theme nicely! (●´ω｀●)

Let’s take a closer look at her lovely angelic wings!

Even in Nendoroid size the ‘layers’ of the wings have been faithfully included in the sculpt! But the point I really want to focus on…

This adorable expression! ♥︎

The expression is filled with such a kind and gentle feeling, with those rosy red cheeks and V-shaped smile…. it’s just such a pleasure to look at!! I know there have been many different renditions of Miku-san in the Nendoroid world already, but this expression just pulls at my heart so much!!

Let’s have a quick recap for those who are new to the series! ♪

What are Nendoroid Co-de?

Nendoroid Co-de is a new addition to the Nendoroid series based on the theme of dressing-up characters! The figures have fixed poses and each come with four parts – the head, upper garment, lower garment and shoes. Each of these parts can be swapped between characters allowing for all sorts of possibilities. The more you collect, the more dress-up options become available to you!

In other words…! They are simple fixed pose Nendoroids, great for new collectors, with the ability to dress-up in various ways!

They are designed to be fun for Nendoroid collectors to collect, and for younger fans to enjoy playing with and creating all sorts of new dress coordination! You can see all the figures released so far over on the…

Nendoroid Co-de Special Website!♪

Here you can find out more about the Nendoroid Co-de series and see all the previous figures in the series! ★

Anyway, let’s get back to today’s item!!

Those who have donated to the Red Feather Community Chest Movement in the past will know that you receive one of these lovely red feathers when you donate! Here we have Miku holding the actual red feather instead!

Oooooooohhhh!! (´□｀｡)

How can she be so cute and then still look even cuter?! Note that the actual feather is not included with the figure! It is given to those who donate to the Red Feather Community Chest Movement!

However there is something else that IS included with the figure!

A Nendoroid Plus: Hatsune Miku Red Feather Community Chest Movement Rubber Strap!

△ This will be sent together with the Nendoroid Co-de itself! ★

Nendoroid Co-de Hatsune Miku: Red Feather Community Chest Movement 70th Anniversary Commemoration Co-de!

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow!

For each one sold, Crypton Future Media and Good Smile Company will donate ¥300 to the Red Feather Community Chest Movement!

Nendoroid Co-de: Hatsune Miku: Raspberryism Co-de

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Apparently there is berry flavoured nattou! Apparently it goes well with bread… I look forward to trying it! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Anyway, today I’ll be taking at a look at the latest Nendoroid Co-de figure…

Nendoroid Co-de: Hatsune Miku: Raspberryism Co-de!

From the SEGA feat. HATSUNE MIKU Project’s ‘Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- X’ comes a Nendoroid Co-de of the conspicuous ‘Raspberryism’ module!

The rich colors of the module that give her the energetic appearance she is known for have been faithfully included in the design, creating a Miku who is rather different to the one we normally see. A unique design for fans to add to their Co-de collection!

“The Raspberry Monster that travels freely through cyberspace!”

The energetic and rather sporty looking Hatsune Miku module illustrated by Aki Akane – ‘Raspberryism’ is joining the Nendoroid Co-de series! The vivid pink, yellow and brown colors look so fun and colorful, and the playful grin showing off her lovely white teeth make her look so cute!!! (●´ω｀●)

The rather unique outfit that gives a nice peek at her stomach really gives off such an energetic appearance that suits the ‘Raspberry Monster’ perfectly! ★

Even though she has been converted into chibi Nendoroid size, the charming points of the module has been preserved so nicely! The hemming of the shorts and top, cute little feet and details of the outfit around her collar are all so lovely to look at!!

Let’s take a look at her from the back!

Her cute hairstyle that is quite a change from standard Miku figures has also been faithfully recreated in Nendoroid size! The bold mix of green and pink looks great!! Anyway, let’s stop here for a second for…

A Quick Nendoroid Co-de Recap!

In other words…! They are simple fixed pose Nendoroids, great for new collectors, with the ability to dress-up in various ways!

I really want to go out and look at the cherry blossoms when the weather is this nice! I believe the blooming in Tokyo is expected to end this weekend!

The stylish red, white and black design has been converted into Nendoroid size keeping the unique look with plenty of frills to keep Miku looking as adorable as ever! Her hair accessory and cute expression are also not to be missed! ♪

“A blessing for you!”

The module from ‘Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- F 2nd’ illustrated by Nisokuhokou – ‘Breathe with You’ or ‘Bless You’ is joining the Nendoroid Co-de series!! ♪

The red, black and white color set gives her a stylish, rather mature appearance with a bit of mystery added in to the mix! (●´ω｀●)

This is how she looks from the back! ★

The layers of frills and red collar are lovely and detailed!

The gradient on the shoes with cute little ribbons on them as well as the lovely details of her twintails makes for a lovely figure even from the back! The rather unique looking hair accessory has also been beautifully transformed into Nendoroid head size!

Each of the petals has been carefully sculpted to recreate even the finer details of the module that everyone has come to love! While the design is cute, it also gives her a more mature charm compared to her standard outfit! ♡

Speaking of details, these red and black triangle accessories coming off the skirt are such a pleasure to look at!

Hatsune Miku: Orange Blossom Ver.

Today’s Main Feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Max Factory’s latest release…

Hatsune Miku: Orange Blossom Ver.!

From SEGA’s rhythm game ‘Hatsune Miku -Project Diva- F 2nd’ comes a 1/7th scale of Hatsune Miku dressed in the Orange Blossom module! The unique look of the bright orange and blue outfit has been completely recreated with the use of pearl paints.

The figure is sculpted by Grizzry Panda known for sculptwork with a keen edge, which suits the futuristic design of the Orange Blossom outfit perfectly. Add the unique Miku to your collection and enjoy every detail of the work of art whenever you please!

Hatsune Miku in her futuristic Orange Blossom outfit!

The Orange Blossom outfit, or ‘module’ as it is known in the Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- F 2nd game has been transformed into a lovely 1/7th scale figure! The contrast between Miku’s soft looking skin and the semi-futuristic kind of mecha appearance of her outfit contrast so nicely and have all been sculpted beautifully! Not to mention the pearl paintwork on the outfit which makes it look just like it did in the game!! ♪

The posing is also so very cute and matches the outfit nicely, creating a figure filled with Miku charm for fans to add to their collections! ♡

Let’s see how she looks from the back! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The fluttering appearance of the ribbons together with the gradient paintwork on them looks amazing from the back! Miku’s spine and shoulder blades are also a treat for the eyes, and all those creases along her outfit really make it look like actual clothes… the amount of detail is simply outstanding ♡

Her hair makes use of translucent parts on the end giving it a very light and transparent appearance that matches with the somewhat futuristic design!

Let’s take a closer look at her outfit!

The shining appearance comes from the fact that the outfit is painted with a pearl paint!

The fluttering appearance of the skirt as well as all the intricate ups and downs of the frills have all been carefully painted… I really wish everyone could see the figure in person!! You really need to experience this with your own two eyes!! The pearly paintwork really makes the details of Grizzry Panda’s sculpt stand out wonderfully! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

If we take a closer look at her hand…

The texture of the glove’s material is clearly there, and even stretched out to the point that you can just make out some of her skin color!

Her expression is a innocent and playful smile! (●´ω｀●)

The cute open mouth is actually carved out ever so slightly as a part of the sculpt, making it look slightly different depending on the angle you choose to look from! ♪

Plus those curves from her armpits to her upper arm… they are perfect to say the least!!

Although the thighs sticking out from her frilly skirt are also not to be missed!!

△ The details from this angle are amazing!

Be sure to enjoy her stunning sculpt and paintwork once she joins your collection!! っε=(｡・д・｡)

As you can see, her desk is filled with a variety of Hatsune Miku items… why don’t you give us a quick introduction seen you haven’t been on the blog for awhile now!

（・∀・）: “My name is Hamako, a member of the GSC Planning Team! I am the head planner for Miku-related products as well as LoveLive products and more! Recently I’ve also been involved in the planning for Orange Rouge products such as the Osomatsu-san and Cute High Earth Defense Club Love! figures!”

△ Hamako is involved in a huge variety of products! ♪

（・∀・）: “My most recent product is of course these adorable Hatsune Miku Renewal Nendoroid Petites!”

Alright then, let’s take a closer look at what makes them so special! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

– Expressions –

（・∀・）: ” This time the figures are based on the V3 and V4X package illustrations which were done by iXima! The unique almost see-through touch of the drawing style has been carefully preserved on the expressions, and we really did our best to keep the lovely gradients in their eyes!”

They have slightly more mature expressions compared to their older counterparts! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

（・∀・）: “Yep! MEIKO and Luka in particular have a much sexier look than before!”

The two of them look really nice together! I notice that MEIKO’s microphone can also be removed from her hand for a slightly different feel – it looks a bit like the two of them are sharing the one microphone now! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

– Sculpting –

（・∀・）: “This is the third Nendoroid Petite VOCALOID set, following on from the previously released Nendoroid Petite:Vocaloid #01 and Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Selection. As always the overall sculpt is completely new, creating a very different feel for each character – they look a lot sharper than before!”

Nendoroid Petites normally have a fairly rounded appearance, but the edges of these outfits and hairstyles are so neat and precise!

（・∀・）: The hair and outfits have also been sculpted to match with the movement of their poses, bringing each of the characters to life more! ☆

KAITO in particular has such a dynamic feel to him with the coat and scarf fluttering around him! ε=(｡・д・｡)

– Preorder Bonus –

（・∀・）: “This time around, preorders of a complete BOX will include a pair of wing parts for Nendoroid Petites!”

This means that you can really display Miku by your side as the angel that she is!!

As if she wasn’t angelic enough all by herself, the wings make her look even more adorable! Of course you can also choose to use them on any other character as well! (●´ω｀●)

（・∀・）: “The wings simply attach to the normal Nendoroid Petite stand, so you can try them on any of your favorite characters!”

And there we have the three highlight points from the figure’s planner! Thanks for your time, Hamako!!

Even though the characters are so small, the amount of details and personality that is placed into them is absolutely incredible!! ♥︎ Who do you like the best, Hamako? Miku-san?

（・∀・）: “I love them all, but I actually think Rin-chan is my favorite this time around! I really love her new outfit – the ribbon on her chest, the white shorts and the overall cheerful but mature look of her is lovely!”

△ They really are the perfect size to fit in the palm of your hand!

Let’s take a second to summarize! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal set will be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

You can see more photos over at my previous blog here:
⇒　Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal

In addition, preorders of a complete BOX of figures will also comes with a single pair of angel wings that can be used with Nendoroid Petites! ♡

△ Quick and easy to attach to the character of your choice!

Only one pair is included with the BOX preorder, so you’ll have to pick just one character to become an angel by your side!

More details will be up on the GSC Website tomorrow!!

Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My body has become rather confused by the sudden jump in temperatures! What kind of clothes am I supposed to wear?!

Anyway, today I’ll be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal!

In addition there is also one secret character that fans are sure to love! Enjoy the brand new, highly detailed and absolutely adorable figures of Miku and friends in your collection! ♪

Miku and friends are back again with all new outfits!♪

These lovely new renditions of the Vocaloids were first shown at the last WonFes! They are completely new sculpts all based on the more recent releases of the VOCALOID software, and they’re going to be going up for preorder soon! ♡

Each of the characters are based on their poses from the most recent package illustrations, but even the back has been carefully sculpted!

Each of the poses captures a lovely dynamic scene for each of the characters! (σ・∀・)σ

I get the feeling that they all look a little more matured when compared to the Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Selection released back in September 2013!

These two in particular definitely have a very mature vibe to them!

But perhaps the most important change with the ‘Renewal’ set is the new outfits!!

Even though they each stand just 65cm in height, the details and textures of their outfits are absolutely stunning! Look at the glossy effects on these two for instance! Kagamine Rin and Len V4X was only released last December, making this an incredibly speedy transformation into a figure as well! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Let’s take a closer look at them one-by-one!

◆ Hatsune Miku V3 ◆

The twin-tails have an all new twist to them that gives her a nice fresh appearance – they are also of course attached with ball joints allowing for some different nuances in posing! The glossy effect on her arm covers recreates the translucent appearance of the design!

◇ Kagamine Rin V4X ◇

I love the shape of the ribbon on her chest! Not to mention the area of bare skin between her top and shorts – even her belly button has been sculpted onto the tiny little figure! Her cheeks also look so puffy and cute! (/ω＼)

◆ Kagamine Len V4X ◆

Len’s characteristic spiky hair and cute but classy expression!! (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡
He really knows how to look good, even in figure form!!

◇ Megurine Luka V4X ◇

Luka’s V4X outfit has a rather sexy feel to it, and her expression has a lovely warm smile! The long skirt wavering around her has also been sculpted beautifully! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

◆ MEIKO V3 ◆

MEIKO is sculpted with a confident smile on her face as she grabs the microphone in one hand! The fluttering skirt and cute short cut hair both add a bit of movement to the figure, giving her a nice dynamic appearance! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

◇ KAITO V3 ◇

The more mature KAITO-nii-san has a lovely smile on his face, ready to capture the hearts of everyone who looks his way! His pose has slightly twisted hips and his scarf fluttering to his side! ٩(๑òωó๑)۶

They each look amazing by themselves, but they look even cuter when displayed together!

△ I can just imagine their duets playing in my mind!

Be sure to take a nice close look once they’ve been released!

Add the all new Miku and friends to your collection!

Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal

They will be up for preorder from the 15th March 2016!

Plus, preorders of a complete box set will also include this Wing Parts for Nendoroid Petites (1 Pair) as a bonus!! ♡

△ The wings connect onto the Nendoroid Petite stands!

One box comes with a single pair of wings, so you will have to decide which character is best suited to become your angel!

△ Rin-chan was an angel even before she had the wings! (੭ ˃ ω˂ )੭ु⁾⁾

Plus there is also going to be one secret character!! (・ω・)/

Here is a sneak peek for those who read to the end of the blog!★

Hmm… who could it be?!

You’ll have to wait for release to find out!! ♪

SNOW MIKU

Today’s Main Feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at FREEing’s…

SNOW MIKU!

A huge 1/4th scale figure of SNOW MIKU, standing an impressive 42cm in height! The coloring of the popular Hatsune Miku figure has been switched over to the Snow Miku color scheme, with her translucent skin glowing and snowflake patterns added to various areas of her outfit creating a mystical atmosphere to the figure.
Fans will be proud to keep Snow Miku’s angelic smile by their side to enjoy whenever they please – in an impressive scale that stands above the rest!

Ooooooohhhh!!! (´□｀｡)

The beautiful songstress standing before be with a snow flake on her hand!! Just look at her lovely smile which can be enjoyed in all it’s 1/4th scale glory!

⇒ Product Details: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5481/

Her pale skin matches with the snowy look, making her look like a beauty from a snow country!

The metallic silver, white and light blues of her outfit all look lovely too!

△ The skirt has an almost electronic feel to it as well!

This giant black box is the packaging for this huge figure! (・∀・)

It’s gigantic!!

The little Miku beside the box is the original figma Snow Miku! I think it gives a nice feeling for the size!

This is how the other side of the packaging! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ Such a lovely, stylish design! ♪

The box is not only tall, but also has quite some depth!!

△ It’s like a wall to the figma!

The silhouette on the side has a holographic effect that gives a nice high-class effect! ♡

△ I want to put the box on display as well as the figure!

Anyway, let’s get back to the main figure!

She stands approximately 420mm in height!

The size also allows for nice close attention to the smaller details! The twin-tails twirling around her give her an impressive width as well!

△ The hair slowly becomes a darker blue down toward the tips!

The parts of the twin-tails that connect to the head with a metal peg to keep them in nice and secure!

△ Compared with the figma!

The snowflake on her hand is a separate part that can be attached and removed as you please!

△ It connects into the hand nice and securely! ♪

Also, while the arm cover covers up most of her arm, if you look from a lower angle you can see the arm has been sculpted all the way up! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！

This angle also shows the layered effect of her skirt and tie! ♪

Add the snow songstress to your collection!

SNOW MIKU

She is currently up for preorder! ♡

Nendoroid and figma Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I recently bought a new pair of office slippers! Though I really liked my last pair so it was quite a difficult change!

Anyway! Today I’m going to be taking a look at these two WonFes products!

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.

figma Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.

Both these items will be on sale at Wonder Festival this weekend and will also be available for order from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP for a limited time from the 7th February at 16:00JST!

⇒ For more details about web orders please see this page!

First up let’s take a closer look at…

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.

Snow Miku has reached its 7th anniversary this year, and once again this year’s design from piapro was decided by fans during a NicoNico Live Broadcast, and has been transformed into a Nendoroid! The theme this year was ‘Winter Sports’, and the winning design was this active, playful design illustrated by Kotatsu Otogi!

The Nendoroid includes three expressions including an energetic smiling expression, a playful giggling expression and a chibi expression with tightly shut eyes. The knitted hat made in the image of an owl has been included with the figure as an actual Nendoroid-size knitted hat. She also comes with a variety of sporty goods including a snowboard, skis with ski poles and goggles! A scarf as well as snowball fight parts are also included to ensure that Miku has a great time in the snow!

An alternate body part connected to the skis is also included to display her in action, and a special snowy white base with blue snowflakes is also included to bring out the Winter atmosphere! Rabbit Yukine is included once again with his very own pair of goggles and a cute rabbit-eared hat! Be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy playing in the Winter with this year’s Snow Miku!

Snow Miku is ready to play until the ski slopes melt away!

The sporty and energetic Snow Miku is ready to head for the ski slopes! She looks so cute even from the back! ★

△The twintails are fitted with Nendoroid joints for all sorts of posing options!

This is how the box looks!

It opens in quite a different way to normal Nendoroid packages! As usual the Snow Miku Nendoroid packaging is quite different to the standard Nendoroid packaging design! ☆

The reverse side of the box looks like so! ٩( ‘ω’ )و

All sorts of poses of Snow Miku enjoying an active Winter!

The text on the top of the box here reads ‘An action figure ready to take to the snowscape’!

The package illustration also has a familiar looking snow sculpture…

There is actually one more hidden bonus on the package, so be sure to keep a look out for it! (ฅΦωΦ)ฅ

Another part of the figure that has to be noted of of course the knitted hat!

Each hat has been carefully hand-knitted to ensure it is nice and warm!! ♡

The packaging comes with the hat unattached like so…

So you will need to first remove her twintails, place the hat over her head and then line-up the holes in the hat to match up with the twintail holes! ♪

△ The buttons on the hat are made with natural wood!
As the hats are handmade please note that each is slightly different though!

This time Miku has joints in her elbows and knees for more active poses!

She also comes with various items for dynamic action scenes!

① Skis

The shiny ski goggles attach to the inside of the front hair parts!

This means that you don’t need to remove the hat each time you attach and remove the goggles! ♪

Plus as I’m sure you’ve noticed…

She comes with a special oblique base made in the image of a ski slope!

This makes her skiing poses even more convincing!

△ The included snow parts also have space to insert the skis and ski poles!

② Snowboard

This connects into small holes on the bottom of her feet! ヽ(•̀ω•́ )ゝ✧

The snowboard can also be placed in the snow parts above!

③ Snowball

She also comes with a special left hand that allows her to cold the snowball!

Plus this grinning expression is perfect for a snowball fight! A little effect part to display the snowball flying through the air is also included!!

And the more comical chibi expression is perfect for when she slips in the snow! (´□｀｡)

An icy effect part by her feet is also included, and can used for all sorts of different things! The fact that the expression is blushing also makes it quite easy to use in other situations as well!

“D-do you want to have a snowball fight with me?”

This is Snow Miku asking someone she likes out to a snowball fight! I think she would be a bit of a tsundere character! ☆

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.

After sales at WonFes, she will be on sale at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP from the 7th February at 16:00JST!

⇒　More details available on this page!

Moving on…

figma Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.

Snow Miku has reached its 7th anniversary this year, and once again this year’s design from piapro was decided by fans during a NicoNico Live Broadcast! The theme for this year was ‘Winter Sports’, and the winning design was this cute and energetic design illustrated by Kotatsu Otogi, which has now been transformed into a figma! Rabbit Yukine is also of course included with her!

She comes with three expressions including an energetic smiling face, a playful expression as well as a cute winking expression!
Skis with ski pokes made in the image of musical notes, as well as a snowboard and skis for Rabbit Yukine are all included.
Her neck warmer and scarf can both be attached and removed as you see fit, to match various different situations.
An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

The Winter songstress is skiing down the slopes as a figma!♡

A lovely smile just as dazzling as the white snow! Plus her outfit has has a bit of a glossy paint job! ★

△ The spiralling twintails made with translucent parts are so beautiful!

This is how the box looks!

The kind of argyle design at the top of the box is so cute! (●´ω｀●)

The packaging is separated into two layers like this!

The items on the left look to be filled with Winter fun! ★

Let’s take a closer look at each of them! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

① Skis

Probably the first Winter sport that comes to most peoples mind! ★

You can also pose her just holding the skis and poles instead, like so…

The above expression is her smiling expression, but her neck-warmer is covering up her mouth creating a bit of a different feeling! ≡Σ((( つ•̀ω•́)つ

Even Rabbit Yukine’s hat looks rather warm and fuzzy!

△The Yukine with the Nednoroid is quite puffy like a plushie,
but the figma version is a little more slimmed down!

② Snowboard

The joints of the figma allow for some awesome jump poses!

The twintails are also fitted with joints to really create a dynamic feeling to the figure that makes it look like she could jump to life at any second! (σ・∀・)σ

Plus, as mentioned during the live broadcast, her goggles can also be removed! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！

An alternate hair part for the goggles is included! This expression together with the way she is holding the goggles… this figma allows for so many stories to be told!! ♪

figma Miku Snow Owl Ver.

After sales at WonFes, she will be on sale at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP from the 7th February at 16:00JST!

Snow Miku & Rabbit Yukine Design (2016): Kotatsu Otogi

January 7, 2016 by Kahotan

Racing Miku: 2015 Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can already feel my hay-fever starting to act up… perhaps because this Winter has been rather warm? Or maybe it’s just a cold…?

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Racing Miku: 2015 Ver.!♥︎

The 2015 design of Racing Miku, the official character of the Hatsune Miku GT Project, is being made into a 1/8th scale figure!

The figure’s design is based on Taiki’s illustration of Racing Miku as a ‘Princess Knight’, and has faithfully preserved all the details of the original illustration. The intricate outfit and dynamic pose all come together to create a cheerful Racing Miku that is sure to add new charm to any fan’s collection!

The songstress of the racing circuit!♡

The scale figure of last year’s Racing Miku which went up for preorder just at the end of last month! Her adorable smile captures such a lovely moment! The fluttering of the flag and her twin-tails also add a nice dynamic effect to the figure, and the cute outfit has also been sculpted in lovely detail!! ♪

I managed to grab the painted prototype for a quick review!

This is how she looks from the back!

Take a look at the translucent appearance of her twintails!

They are beautifully painted to give a nice gradient that slowly becomes more translucent toward to bottom! They also have a nice volume to them that, together with the flag, give the figure a rather impressive size!!

She is posed standing with one foot up in the air for a rather simple pose, but the dynamic elements of the figure make it all the more eye-catching! ♪

The stand features a stylish design based on Miku’s hair color and standard hair accessories!

The pink is also used in some other areas! 〜(*´Д｀)=з

Take a close look at her lovely thighs!

I’m sure you can see the pink area!

The curves from her bottom down along the thighs is such a treat for the eyes!

By the way… Miku-san is wearing a tutu with a leopard, so you’re not seeing panties!! These photos are not showing too much!! Really!! (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

△ You get a really nice feel for the fluttering of the flag from this angle!

Anyway, the 2015 Racing Miku’s design was based on a ‘Princess Knight’! You can see the ‘Princess’ part in her expression, the frills on her outfit and of course the tiara…

If you’re looking for the ‘Knight’ part…

The gauntlets and various other parts of her outfit are modelled off knightly armor! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

The golden lining also gives a very noble aspect to the design which fits both the princess and knight sides of the design! The little neck-tie accessory is included on the design as a little homage to the original Miku design!

By the way, you can take a look through all the previous Racing Miku designs over on this page! ♡

Keep this adorable smile all to yourself! Add the 2015 Racing Miku to your collection!
