Racing Miku: 2015 Ver.

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

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!

Oooooooohhh!! (●´ω`●)

The knightly princess and songstress of the racing circuit has been sculpted as a 1/8th scale figure! Racing Miku in her 2015 outfit! ♥︎

Those beautiful, long twintails give the figure a lovely dynamic feeling!

△ The also make use of semi-transparent parts giving a kind of glowing effect!

The pose she is in really shows off her thighs along with a little peek at her bottom! Her healthy looking body really cute, but also has a certain level of sexy to it as well! But perhaps my favourite thing about the figure is this lovely, youthful smile on her face!


△ Not only is her back revealed, the side also has a netted pattern! ★

The unique design of her gloves that look more like gauntlets has been faithfully added to the figure, and the frilly tutu has been captured so nicely!

It’s one of those figures that really captures the difference in textures between different parts of the figure effectively! ε=(。・д・。)


△ The creases on the gloves and boots let you imagine the
soft feeling of the skin on the other side! ( ✧Д✧) カッ!!

Grab this Racing Miku and have her cheer you on through anything!

Racing Miku: 2015 Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder later today!! ♪

The figure will also be on display at the GOODSMILE RACING & TeamUKYO 2015 Year-End Party! Be sure to take a look if you’re at the event!! ★

Nendoroid Plus: Hatsune Miku x CuteRody Pullback Cars

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have recently developed an interest in toys that can make sweets or do some other kind of cooking. Maybe I’ll buy one as a Christmas present! (for myself…)

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at this product from FREEing…

Nendoroid Plus: Hatsune Miku x CuteRody Pullback Cars!★

The famous toy horse created in Italy ‘Rody’ as well as the Nendoroid Plus series of Vocaloid characters are being released together as a collaboration project!

Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len and Megurine Luka are all available and each come with a CuteRody that matches up with their image color. The CuteRody horses are also made as pullback cars allowing you to give the Vocaloid characters an adorable ride as well!

◇ Hatsune Miku & CuteRody (Mint)
◇ Kagamine Rin & CuteRody (Lemon)
◇ Kagamine Len & CuteRody (Lemon)
◇ Megurine Luka & CuteRody (Peach)

A cute collaboration between Miku-san and Rody!

The pullback cars run off magnets for even more fun as well!! ♡

As soon as you insert the figures into the Rody-shaped pullback cars it will trigger the wind-up and they will drive along! ★

This is the same mechanism that was included with the Nendoroid Plus: Vocaloid Pullback Cars released back in 2010!

△ It was always so fun to watch them drive forward! (=゚ω゚)ノ

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

Hatsune Miku & CuteRody (Mint)

The Rody matches her hair color perfectly! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

I love the fact that the one dot on the size has been changed into a musical note too! ♪

Kagamine Rin & CuteRody (Lemon)

A lovely yellow Rody to match with Rin-chan!

Rin-chan’s big ribbon has quite a powerful presence!

Kagamine Len & CuteRody (Lemon)

The same yellow Rody for Len as well! ☆

The Rody design really does have such a cute form!!  ( ๑॔˃̶◡ ˂̶๑॓)◞♡

♥︎ Megurine Luka & CuteRody (Peach)

A stylish pink to match the mature Luka-san! (/ω\)

The Rody’s all have the same face, but some how the last one definitely seems to have a much more ladylike expression!!

Each of the characters has also been fully sculpted on the back as well, making them fully enjoyable as figures as well!!   ε=(。・д・。)

△ The chibi look of their hair is so cute! ♪
It kind of looks like Rody’s ears are on the characters from here!

Unfortunately as the samples I was taking photos of are still just prototypes I wasn’t able to capture the pullback movement, but it seemed like a waste not to have some kind of movement… so I decided to make a frame-by-frame GIF instead!

It was rather fun to make…! ☆

I actually made an even long er GIF, but it went over the file-size limit for the blog… so I had to give the cut version…(;∀;)

The actual products will of course only move forward when the character is in the seat, so don’t get the wrong idea from my playful GIF!

An adorable collaboration to join your collection!

Nendoroid Plus: Hatsune Miku x CuteRody Pullback Cars!

Nendoroid & figma Snow Miku: Snow Owl Ver.: Preview

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

It’s finally that time of the year again!

Time For Snow Miku-san!

The 2016 theme for Snow Miku was Hokkaido Winter Sports, and the final choice for both the Nendoroid and figma versions of 2016’s Snow Miku was made by Kotatsu Otogi-san! ♥︎

The design for Rabbit Yukine was also by  Kotatsu Otogi!

The winning design was decided during a live broadcast on the 22nd May 2015, where all the fans were able to voice their choice on which design should become Snow Miku 2016! Once again thanks to everyone who submitted designs as well as to everyone who took part in the selection process!!

The design this time was rather different due to the theme! How have the figure versions come out?! 

Let’s take a look at the Nendoroid first! Sculpted by Good Smile Company’s Kataharaitashi!! (。・ω・)ノ゙

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 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, skiis with skii poles and goggles!

Rabbit Yukine is included once again also with a pair of goggles and a cute rabbit-eared hat! An alternate body part connected to the skiis is also included to display her in action, and a few other parts related to Winter sports are also included! Be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy playing in the Winter with this year’s Snow Miku!

I want to go out and play with her in the snow!!

The Sporty Miku-san surrounded with all sorts of Winter sporting goods!

I can’t wait to take her out into the snow and enjoy a Winter date with her!! But perhaps the item that catches the eye the most is the knitted hat – not a hat made from PVC but one made from actual fabric in Nendoroid size!!! It looks so nice and warm! Yukine’s hat isn’t made from fabric, but it also looks nice and warm and fluffy!ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

This is the alternate body that allows you to display her skiing together with Rabbit Yukine!! (●´ω`●)

 

In addition to the Nendoroid, Max Factory will also be releasing a figma version!

figma Snow Miku: Snow Owl ver.

I can just imagine jumping around with them on the snow!

Just looking at that playful expression on her face makes me feel all excited! A taller version of this Miku sakes her look even more sporty than the Nendoroid version!

The figma also comes with skiis and various other Winter sports goods to enjoy in the snow!!

Her twintails this time around have a very dynamic appearance from the start, but seen she is perfect for action poses they are also fitted with joints that allow for more active poses like this! ₍₍ (ง ˙ω˙)ว ⁾⁾

As mentioned on Hamako’s Twitter, these two items are currently on display inside the Snow Miku Street Car in Hokkaido! ♥︎

Just like last year I asked for some photos from Hokkaido and Hamako sent them through!! Let’s take a look at this year’s Snow Car!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

This year the design features not only photos of the Nendoroid and figma, but also the main visual illustration done by Mame no Moto! I know that I for one would get rather exciting seeing this driving around the city!!!

While the main colors of white and light blue keep that Winter feeling, the colorful snow flake patterns give it a really eye-catching design!! ☆

Then as if the cute street car wasn’t enough, these two figures were on display inside!!

△ A special display area made to look like a mountain of snow!!
I will be taking a closer look at the Nendoroid and figma before WonFes next year, so be sure to take a look at the reviews as well!! ヽ(゚◇゚ )ノ

Inside the car there are also SNOW MIKU 2016 event and figure adverts! (・∀・)σ

△ The adverts on the sides of the car are Snow Miku-related as well! ★

Plus…

A DIVA Module of the new Snow Miku too!!

She is looking as cute as ever this year!! I can’t wait to see her in action!! ♥︎

Once she is available you’ll be able to enjoy the module at all Project Diva arcade machines!! (`・ω・´)ゞ

The module is scheduled for December 2015!

Keep your eyes on the Weekly Diva Station for the latest updates!★

 

Plus… this year there was a special guest who made her debut at the street car…

Snow Miku Dayo-!

Nendoroid Snow Miku-san has finally been seen in her full size!!

She even managed to get her hands on a Nendoroid Snow Miku Dayo- which is scheduled to release next month!!

△ So… intense!!

I can’t wait to meet her in person!!

I’m sure she will come down to Tokyo at some stage for me to say hello!! (/ω\)

This streetcar will be running in Hokkaido from the 22nd November 2015 until the 27th March 2016! ♪

As before, all the announcements in the train will also be switched to Miku’s voice actor, Saki Fujita-san! ♡

Please note the figures were only on display for one day, not while the train is running!

Anyway, let’s get on to how to purchase these figures!

Hatsune Miku: mebae Ver.

Today’s Main Feature!!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at one of Max Factory’s items that is currently available for preorder…
Hatsune Miku: mebae Ver.!

A 1/7th scale figure of Hatsune Miku based on one of the works of popular illustrator mebae! The intricate curves and dynamic feeling of mebae’s illustration have all been faithfully preserved on the figure!

Her long winding twin-tailed hair, tutu, hair accessory and the lovely curves of her lean body have all been carefully sculpted to create a figure overflowing with charm. Enjoy the beautiful ballerina Miku as she takes the spotlight in your collection!

A powerful, beautiful ballerina Miku!!

The essence of mebae’s original illustration has been captured in this figure with such amazing accuracy, creating such a stunning work of art!! The toned body you’d expect of a ballerina together with the unique pose and lovely contrast of the light skin and dark outfit are simply amazing! Not to mention the gradient hair that even makes use of translucent parts…! The figure is packed with so many highlights to enjoy!! (/ω\)


△ Such an amazingly dynamic pose!

As this time around Miku-san has been sculpted as a ballerina, the figure has a rather different representation of muscles and curves on the body! They’re such a treat for the eyes! (=゚ω゚)ノ

They say that ballerinas make art with their bodies, and I think this figure is proof of that! Her fit body looks so lovely!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

The back also captures that beauty!! <○><○>

Look at those muscles and rib cage!!
Don’t you just wish you could slide your fingers along the bumps of those bones hidden underneath her smooth skin!!! This figure was actually sculpted by the esteemed sculptor, Shining Wizard @ Sawatika! ヽ(゚◇゚ )ノ

A big thank you to Shining Wizard! As usual his intricate magic has me charmed!!

Anyway, let’s move down to her feet! (。・ω・)ノ゙

Her toes are opened out wide to support her entire body, and you can see the amount of strength put into each one of those detailed toes!!

Then we move onto the other foot which you would think would be more relaxed, but…


Even the toes on this foot are clearly strained with the tension of her performance!! (°Д°;≡°Д°;)

Also take note of the twirls in her hair as they wind around her arm here! Such a bold and beautiful pose that really captures a tense, dynamic moment of her performance!

However, even though she has a very fit body and is captured in such a moment, the soft, feminine curves of her body are also a beautiful sight!♥︎

The tense appearance of her hands and legs are strangely contrasted by her soft looking thighs and chest!!

The slight red shading on the bending areas of her elbows, knees and shoulder also makes her seem so very alive!!

A perfect rendition of mebae’s original illustration!

△ Keeping the charm of this illustration in the world of figures! A true wizard! 

Now let’s take a closer look at her hair! ♪

The ends make use of a semi-see-through parts that gives a translucent appearance along the beautiful gradient!

The sculpting is without a doubt incredible, but the coloring is also simply astounding! The combination of the two creates an absolute work of art!

I was honestly a little worried when I saw the figure unpainted as I didn’t know how the hair would come out on the colored version… but I wish I could go back in time and stop myself for worrying for absolutely nothing! It looks better than I could have ever imagined!

If you look close you’ll notice that the  frills of her multi-layered tutu actually also make use of translucent parts as well! It makes the dress look even lighter!

Plus as this is a tutu and not a dress that means that all these low angle shots are alright! These aren’t panty shots – just tutu shots!

I wish I had more time to cover more about this figure! The more you look at it the more amazing things you find!! Be sure to take a look at the product page where there is a 360° view where you can take a look for yourself!!

Outstanding beauty ready to be added to your collection!
Hatsune Miku: mebae Ver.!

She is currently up for preorder! ♥︎

Product Page: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5313/

Plus if you preorder from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP you will also receive a poster illustrated by mebae as a bonus!!

Hatsune Miku: Greatest Idol Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m already starting to find that short sleeves aren’t going to work any more… Autumn has arrived and it’s already rather chilly!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/8th scale…

Hatsune Miku: Greatest Idol Ver.★

The jacket cover of sound producer Mitchie M’s album ‘Greatest Idol’ featured an illustration of Hatsune Miku by the famous animator and manga artist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. This illustration has now been transformed into a figure for fans to add to their collection!The intricately sculpted details of her unique instrument as well as her dynamic pose filled with energy are sure to brighten up your day, and if that’s not enough her adorable expression will finish the job!

Ooooohh!! (*´Д`)

The electronic diva Miku-san just had her 8th birthday, and now she also has a brand new figure on the way! This time the figure is based on a CD jacket illustration by the renown Yoshiyuki Sadamoto! 

The bright smile she has on her face instantly shows she is a true idol!!

The outfit has a more rocky style to it than usual, but it still suits her so very nicely!! Her pink instrument which is a mix between a synthesizer and a guitar is incredibly detailed and the coloring of her twin tails is lovely!

Only an angel can be this cute!! (/ω\)

She was only announced at WonFes this year but her colored prototype is now complete and ready to take a nice close look at, so let’s get started!

This is how she looks from the back!

The unique touches of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s design have been beautifully preserved on the figure version! The gradient effect used for her hair gives it that translucent, light feeling that always looked so amazing on the illustration!

Speaking of a light feeling, also take note of her skirt! <○><○>

Fluttering upward in the heat of the moment!!

This angle is a perfect tease angle! So close and yet so far!! Also note the details of the chequered design on her skirt!! (´□`。)

Comparing the figure to the illustration and trying to find differences is very difficult, the figure recreates the illustration perfectly!! However the figure of course allows you to see her from any angle of your choice!

△Looking from a slightly higher angle you can really see her skirt and twin tails flowing around her!

Everyone who adds her to their collection will almost without a doubt be satisfied with the details both from the illustration, as well as all the details that were never visible on the illustration! 

For instance, take note of the mechanical design of her headphones, or the neck tie fluttering around her neck! Her painted nails are also so very intricate, and the slightly see-through blouse is a treat for the eyes!

The creases on her blouse are also very carefully sculpted!

The way the blouse moves around her body gives you a good feel for how the body looks even past the outfit… and if you look really close you’ll notice just how close to the illustration the figure has been made! Particularly around her chest!

Moving on, let’s take a look down at her legs! ★

A glossy paint is used on the high-lace boots which give them a classy feeling! The way her leg is twisting really tells the story of her dynamic pose right down from here at the legs! ε=(。・д・。)

I actually had a conversation with Hamako the other day where we both agreed that these shoes should really exist! I would be happy to buy them!! This Miku’s outfit actually has a much more ‘realistic’ feeling to it compared to most Miku figures, which makes her feel somehow “closer” to the real world…

The illustration was used as a cover album for Mitchie M’s album which is very much real, and this figure also shows her to be so real… surely it won’t be long until we really have Miku by our sides!! (●´ω`●)

While the rather unique mixture of a synthesizer and guitar brings things into a bit more of a wilder world, both parts are both sculpted to look very realistic for their individual parts! The guitar strings make use of a thin synthetic thread that is each pulled out and attached carefully! It even feels rather realistic!

△ The final product will of course be the same!
(The manufacturing team might be crying though!)

Plus, the design for the base of the figure is done by the jacket cover’s designer, BALCOLONY!

△An ‘M’ for ‘Miku’ and for ‘Mitchie M’ ♪

Everything about the figure is a pleasure to look at! Her semi-transparent hair, cute expression, intricate sculpting of her outfit and instrument, glossy shoes and stripy socks… plus even a specially designed base!

Enjoy Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s Idol Miku from any angle you please! ♥︎

The 1/8th Scale…

Hatsune Miku: Greatest Idol Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♪

Nendoroid Snow Mikudayo-

Chilled
Mikudayo-!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at this figure that went up for preorder today…

Nendoroid Snow Mikudayo-!

From the ‘Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku’ comes a Nendoroid of the rather conspicuous character based on Hatsune Miku, finally in her Snow version! Her strangely thin and flappy twin-tails have been decorated with snowflakes to bring out the snowy theme perfectly!

Optional parts include some oden, a meal perfect for the colder Winter months as well as Mikudayo-‘s favorite food – tuna sushi! She also comes with the Snow Miku Caramel that was on sale at the Snow Miku Skytown at New Chitose Airport, as well as the popular ‘Berry parfait with premium soft-serve ice cream made from the milk of Shibecha brown Swiss cattle’ that was sold at the MIRAI.ST cafe in Sapporo! She has so many delicious things to enjoy meaning that you get to enjoy a really happy, snowy Mikudayo-!

Ooooohhh!! (´□`。)

The mysterious Mikudayo- that people fall in love with before they know it is being released in a snow version!! ☆

– Previous Mikudayo- Figures – 

☆ Nendoroid Petite: Mikudayo-
★ Nendoroid Mikudayo-
★ 1/8th Scale Mikudayo-

☆ Nendoroid Sakura Mikudayo-

But anyway, let’s get back to today’s snowy version! ♪

As you might expect from the name, this Mikudayo- has all sorts of relations to snow! (。・ω・)ノ゙

In addition, her miniskirt, arm covers and rather plump boots have all been given a shiny silver coating!! ε=(。・д・。)

The same thin and flappy twin-tails that fans have come to love have been coated with beautiful snow flakes, also a lovely silver color!

But anyway, let’s move onto her optional parts!!

– Oden –

Konjac, fried tofu and fish sausage!
The three main parts of oden! ♡

Dayo-san will be happy to share her love for oden by pushing it into the mouth of her friends!

… I for one would be happy to enjoy some oden with her! ♪

– Salmon Sushi –

This shine! This color! Salmon Sushi!!

Just look how her eyes shine when she holds the sushi in her arms!!(●´ω`●)
She even comes with special arms to let her hold it like this!!

– Snow Miku Caramel –

A very slim and cute Snow Miku drawn on the package of a ‘Snow Miku Caramel: Milk Flavour’!  ♥︎

This is an actual product being sold at various places including Snow Miku Skytown at New Chitose Airport!

Her hand features a little bump that can be used to hold up the Snow Miku Caramel like above!

– Triple berry parfait – 

The actual official name of these parts comes from something found on the menu of the MIRAI.ST cafe in Sapporo – the triple berry parfait with premium soft-serve ice cream made from the milk of Shibecha brown Swiss cattle!

A cute parfait glass filled with ice cream and berry colors! Looks delicious!! ♪

Mikudayo is clearly trying her very best to carry it without dropping it… but as it connects to her hand there is a very small chance that that will ever happen!

– Greedy Mode! All the Food! –

Dayo-san surrounded by food…

… I don’t think she could be happier…!

It may seem a little strange to be announcing a Snow Mikudayo- in the middle of Summer… but she will be ready for release right about when Winter comes around! Imagine all the Winter memories you can make! ♪

Add a chilled Mikudayo- to your collection!

Nendoroid Snow Mikudayo-!

She is currently up for preorder! ♪

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Harvest Moon Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve recently had an insatiable craving for candy floss. Candy floss goes hand-in-hand with Summer festivals here in Japan! I can’t wait to go enjoy some of the upcoming festivals!

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

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Harvest Moon Ver.♥︎

From the ‘Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku’ comes a Nendoroid of Hatsune Miku dressed up in outfit based on those seen at the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. The gentle colors and light, transparent feeling of the kimono and raiment create a very unique, elegant version of Miku for fans to enjoy.

She comes with three expressions including a calm smile, a slightly embarrassed smile as well as expression with closed eyes. Optional parts include a mooncake and a flute. A special background panel that brings out the atmosphere of moon viewing is also included, illustrated by the same artist that designed Miku’s outfit – the Chinese illustrator Rella. Be sure to gaze upon the beauty of the moon with this beautiful Miku by your side!

A beautiful Miku out to view the moon! (●´ω`●)

This item was announced and revealed as a fully painted prototype without notice at the recent HATSUNE MIKU EXPO in Shanghai held in China! We know fans around the world have also been waiting for her, and preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP are now just around the corner! * Orders from GOODSMILE Shanghai have already started.

Just take a look at how beautiful she looks from the front! ♪

She’s so… cute!!

Even the air around her seems to have a lighter, more beautiful feeling just by having her stand there!! My face just naturally turns into a smile while looking at her! The frills on the unique outfit design as well as her lovely hair accessories are very intricately detailed!! ♪

Let’s take a look how she looks from the back! (σ・∀・)σ

The lovely raiment floating above her shoulders makes use of clear parts for a light, gentle feeling! The outfit itself also makes use of painted clear parts that help recreate a softer, silkier look for her outfit! ♪

Also take note of her twintails! Both the tied up area at the top and the twist toward the bottom are lovely!

Such lovely curves!!

The tips of the hair also made into transparent parts preserving that lovely light and airy feeling! ★

The Nendoroid was based on this illustration! ☆ 

The illustration was done by the Chinese illustrator, Rella! ♡

The somewhat mysterious, yet gentle and friendly looking Miku-san is so very adorable! This project actually began as we wanted to create a Miku-san that could be associated with China for all her Chinese fans!!

Plus, as you may have noticed from the first photo on today’s blog… she also comes with this background panel based on the original illustration by Rella! <○><○> 

A special attachment part is also included to connect to the Nendoroid base allowing you to easily use it as a background for the figure… but there are also some other things you can try with it….

Things like… this!

Lay the background sheet on the ground!

This makes it look like Miku is instead looking at the moon’s reflection in some water! (*゚ー゚*)

Plus as she has a nice long skirt that reaches all the way down to her feet, she can easily be posed without the need for a stand at all! This makes taking photos so much easier!! ★

She also comes with a mooncake as an optional part! 

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family and friends to get together and look out at the moon while enjoying lovely sweets like this mooncake!

The mooncake also works amazingly with this expression part!! (。・ω・)ノ゙

A slightly embarrassed smile!

If the mooncake isn’t blocking it, this expression actually has a slightly opened up mouth, so just moving it away…

Makes for a rather different expression!

It’s almost like a completely different expression! (´□`。)

But she does also come with a third expression part…

\…~♪~~♪/

An expression with closed eyes to pose with the included flute! ♥︎

This expression has a rather different feel to the innocent blushing expression! This one has a more mature, confident feel to it! It brings out her ‘beauty’ rather then her cute side.

The various expressions and parts allow for all sorts of fun poses to enjoy!

Head out with Miku to view the moon this year!

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Harvest Moon Ver.

Preorders open from the 13th July!

This product is exclusive to the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP, and is also planned to be sold at certain events. Be sure to check the GSC site for more info!

Hatsune Miku: Animal Charm Straps

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I have so many rubber straps and keychains attached to the strap of my staff ID card which I hang around my neck, that it has got to the point that my shoulders are going stiff from the weight. This must be the weight of love…! I must add more!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a product that went up for preorder earlier this week…

Hatsune Miku: Animal Charm Straps!♡

From the ‘Character Vocal Series’ comes adorable charm accessories of Hatsune Miku and the other Vocaloid characters all as cute round charms based on various animals! The designs are based on the works of CHANxCO, and have been faithfully transformed into accessories for fans to enjoy!

The line-up includes Bunny-Miku, Tanu-Luka, Doggy-Rin, Doggy-Len, Cat-KAITO, Tiger-MEIKO and one secret character! The stomach sections have each respective character’s neck tie or ribbon printed on as well! Be sure to attach them to all sorts of things and keep the cute animal Vocaloids by your side to enjoy whenever you like! ♪

They’re so… puffy!

Puffy like clouds! I feel like they should be all squishy when I touch them!

CHANxCO’s original designs have been transformed into charm size figures keeping the same adorable charm of the illustrations!

The difference between each character is so much fun to look at!
Just looking at them makes me feel all warn and happy inside…!

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

Bunny-Miku

A cute, delicious looking Miku-san! 

The rather unhappy looking expression and glaring eyes are lovely…! ♥︎

 

Tanu-Luka

Lovely round ears for a cute Tanuki Luka!

I also love that three-shaped mouth! (´□`。)

 

Doggy-Rin

Her large white ribbon still included! ★

Rin’s expression looks all proud like she has accomplished something! 

 

Doggy-Len

Even as a doggy Len’s hair is sticking up on his head!

The little blushes on their cheeks is also so adorable! ♪

 

Cat-KAITO

KAITO’s sleepy face makes me wish I could pet him forever!

He looks so very defenceless! I am ready to attack…!

 

Tiger-MEIKO

Tiger MEIKO seems to suit really perfectly!♡

A gentle smile that will brighten up any night spent together with her! (/ω\)

 

They’re all so adorable…!

Plus they’re rather small allowing you to carry them on items with you all over the place, or just play with them on your desk when you need a little break!

To give you a better idea of the size, they are each about 30mm in length… but this does vary between characters!

△ Compared in size with a Nendoroid!

By the way! Some of you might be thinking you’ve seen a figure of this design somewhere before! It was in fact the B Prize in the Happy Kuji Hatsune Miku 2014 Autumn Ver! – Memo Stand Figure – Hatsune Miku: Bunny Ver.! (σ・∀・)σ

△ There was also a Memo Stand Figure – Megurine Luka: Tanuki Ver. as the C-Prize!

Just like the memo stand figures, the charms also feature an extra little detail on the bottom!

Each character has a motif based on their original outfit or an item related to their animal form printed on the bottom! ★

Rin: Ribbon / Len: Neck Tie
Luka: Chest Accessory / MEIKO: Collar & Bell
△Even rolled over like this they are adorable! ♡

…but where is KAITO?!

KAITO instead his trademark scarf sculpted around his neck, leaving him blank on the bottom! (´□`。)

However! All of the characters do feature an adorable little tail on their rear ends!

So… cute!!!

That plump, fluffy looking appearance is so adorable! While I have been calling them fluffy over and over again, remember that they are actually made from PVC! They’re not really fluffy at all!! (I checked! Lots of times!!)

Be sure to grab them for your collection and show them lots of love! ♪

Hatsune Miku: Animal Charm Straps!♡

They are currently up for preorder! 

Product Page: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/5030/ 

Plus preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include this Sticker Illustrated by CHANxCO as a bonus!! ♪

Hatsune Miku: Animal Charm Straps (GSC ONLINE SHOP)

 

and finally, a sneak peek at the secret character!

Just what kind of golden secret could be waiting?!

You’ll have to wait and see! ★

Help Decide the 2016 Snow Miku Design!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’m currently at the NicoNico offices, preparing for today’s broadcast!

Today we decide the 2016 Snow Miku Design!!!

A big thank you to everyone who send in entries!! ヽ(・ω・´(`・ω・´)ノ`・ω・)ノ

The theme this time around is…
Winter Sports in Hokkaido! 

This theme allowed for some really original ideas and some lovely designs to come though! We also once again had a separate contest for Snow Miku’s good friend Rabbit Yukine! Tonight we find out which Miku-san will become our Snow Miku for yext uear! I can’t wait! (●´ω`●)

Yesterday, I posted all the contenders up on my Twitter account! There are a total of four designs for Miku and four designs for Rabbit Yukine to choose from! These were chosen by both Crypton and GSC together… but the final choice between these is in your hands now!! (`・ω・´)

 – 2016 Nendoroid Snow Miku Outfit Candidates-

1: SNOW MIKU 2016 / Saine

My design for the 2016 Snow Miku outfit! I decided on a rather stylish design that would look great with a snowboard or skis!

Her knitted hat has holes on the sides that allow her twintails to pop out! (I picture her snowboard or skis having a piano key pattern!

http://piapro.jp/t/XXfw

2: Owly Owl Snow Miku 2016 / Kotatsu Otogi

Owl!

http://piapro.jp/t/uDla

3: Snow Miku 2016 / Yunii

This was the first color scheme that came to mind for Winter Sports! My friend didn’t seem very convinced though… hopefully I can prove him wrong!

It’s an outfit kind of made in the image of a polar bear but still with a touch of class! The scarf includes gloves at the ends!

04: Snow Miku / Niboshi 

A design that anyone will recognize as Snow Miku with one quick look! I took things back to the classics a bit, but with some special new touches. She is wearing short pants allowing her to move about easier in the snow, It’s an outfit that would work great for snowboarding, skiing, skating…. anything!

 http://piapro.jp/t/tfBD

 


– 2016 Rabbit Yukine Design Candidates-

1: Flying Yukine / Kotatsu Otogi

Fly!

http://piapro.jp/t/1no6

Nendoroid Sakura Mikudayo

S-Something’s coming!!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at Nendoroid #499!

Nendoroid Sakura Mikudayo!☆ 

Originally created as an April Fools joke in 2013, the cherry blossomed themed version of Mikudayo, ‘Sakura Mikudayo’ is now actually being released! Her strangely thin twin-tails have been covered in cherry blossom patterns for a cuter look than ever before!Optional parts include three-color ‘hanami dango’ for enjoying the cherry blossoms, as well as Mikudayo’s favorite food – tuna sushi! The incredible detail of the sushi that shares a pink color with the cherry blossoms has Mikudayo most pleased! Be sure to add the late-blooming Sakura Mikudayo to your collection!

Ooooo… oooh? (°д°;)

GSC’s 2013 April Fools joke has become an actual product!!

Trust Dayo-san to be able to break through the lies of April Fools and come into the real world in an all new pink form!

Even from the back her presence is undeniable!! (°Д°;≡°Д°;)

That strangely bulky yet stable appearance… those flat twin-tails…!!

This is the unwavering Dayo-san we all love!! 

This time around her arms also feature ball joints, allowing for even more wondrous poses! ☆

Just look at how happy she is to be running free!! ♡
*The blog previous stated that the new Nendoroid joints would be used for her neck, but this was incorrect.  To keep the appearance of Dayo-san’s head sinking into her body, the older joint type will be used for Sakura Mikudayo as well. Sorry for the confusion! 

Her hair and outfit also feature beautiful cherry blossom prints! ε=(。・д・。)

△ Twin tail cherry blossoms! Mikudayo is in full bloom! ♥

△ Her neck tie and arm covers also have a blossom pattern!

The overall pink color scheme also adds a lovely gentle, Spring feeling to the design! It makes Dayo-san more ladylike and cuter than ever before!!

Her overall design might be rather similar to the previous Dayo-san, but…

Her optional parts are also all new!!

#1: Three-Color Dango (Large)

Dayo-san has a very big mouth, so large dango had to be included!

You’ll find that this dango is considerably larger than the dango that are included with Nendoroid Kashuu!

Look how cute and innocent she is running about with her dango!! ♡♥︎

Hmm… is it just me or do they kind of look like a weapon here…?

Anyway, next up we have…

…??

…!!

 

#2: Sushi (Tuna)

Just look at that delicious shine!! (´□`。)

Each of the rice grains have been carefully sculpted, not to mention the perfectly cut tuna!! There is no way that Mikudayo could say no to this – it’s a perfect example of her favorite food!!

(Dayo-san staring very intently at the sushi…)

 

…Wha!!!

It looks like she is satisfied!! Yay!! (/ω\)

By the way, there are absolutely no pegs or holes on the sushi! If you want her to hold it she has to balance it carefully on both arms… just like the REAL Mikudayo!!

 

“Are there seconds?”

Nope! Only one dango and one sushi included! Sorry Dayo-san!

The ball joints in the shoulders make posing so much easier, and the new optional parts allow you to enjoy the unique universe of Mikudayo!! ♡

The product is admittedly rather simple as far as Nendoroids go, but that also of course means that she is priced rather affordably! In fact, you can add this adorable thing character to your collection for just ¥2,963 (Before Tax)!

A cherry-blossom themed Dayo-san for your collection!

Nendoroid Sakura Mikudayo!

She will be starting her invas- uh… up for preorder from Thursday!

Be sure to check the GSC Site for more details!

Plus, orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a bonus! 

The ‘Pop Candy’ that was made in collaboration between Mikudayo and Fujiya will be returning in a special Cherry Flavour!

She can even hold it making use of the same hand that holds the dango! Sweets seem to go so very well with Dayo-san!

Be sure to keep the bonus in mind when preordering!

* Orders from the Japanese GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a downloadable 3DS theme serial code. Please note that this is only compatible with Japanese 3DS systems, and therefore will not be included with purchases from the international store.

PLUS!! Nendoroid Mikudayo is also going to be rereleased!!! 

She will be up for preorder together with Sakura Mikudayo, so you can add both of them to your collection with ease!
