The 2015 Snow Miku! Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Bell Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Yesterday was the big reveal of all sorts of Snow Miku information, so I’m going to be summarizing everything for everyone today! ♡ 

The theme for the 2015 Snow Miku is Winter plants in Hokkaido! We received all sorts of wonderful entries, but the final winner was…

This lovely design by Taran!

We also had a separate contest to determine the Rabbit Yukine design for 2015, and the winner was… ♥︎

A very leafy design by Hayuki!

Anyway, it’s been a couple of months since these were decided upon, and Kai Sasaki has been hard at work with the sculpting of the Nendoroid… so here she is! ♪

Nendoroid Snow Miku:
Snow Bell Ver.!♥

2015 marks the sixth anniversary of Snow Miku, and this year designs were once again collected on the piapro content site and voted for by the fans during a NicoNico live broadcast! The theme this year was ‘Winter plants in Hokkaido’, and the winning entry was by Taran, who created a wonderful, fairy-like Snow Miku for fans around the world to enjoy as a Nendoroid. Rabbit Yukine is also back again this year in a lovely leafy design by Hayuki! ♪

Various optional parts that add even more botanical beauty to the pair are also included!

She’s so adorable!! ヽ(●´∀`)○´∀`)ノ

She really does look like a cute little fairy Miku! ♡

Taran’s lovely illustration has been transformed into a figure beautifully, with her outfit looking so cute, – just look at those lily of the valley hair accessories! Plus the headset made from leaves! ♪

Although my personal favorite has to be the giant leaf she is holding over her! It adds even more to the fairy look – and even the drip of water about to fall down has been faithfully included! (*´Д`)

Rabbit Yukine has a cute winking expression and a lily of the valley lamp! ♡

It’s quite a playful expression in contrast to the slightly formal looking outfit! He looks a bit like he’s there as Miku’s escort! What a gentleman!

 

As I’m sure most of you know, the reason Miku was revealed yesterday was because the Snow Miku streetcar was revealed! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ 

Hamako (@gsc_hama) & Akane Eiseihei (@akane_mxf) went to take some photos of the reveal! 

It looks like the snow has already started in Hokkaido!
How ideal for a Snow Miku reveal!

 

The dark streetcar is covered in bright Snow Miku illustrations and photos of the Nendoroid, and the contrast makes her stand out so clearly! The lilies of the valley and her design give such a fairytale-like look to the design! ★

 

It looks like a cute ‘V’-shape smile is also included!
Just looking at it warms my heart! ♡

I love the illustration of her sitting on a leaf!!

Just walking around the streetcar makes me wish I was really been there!

Inside the streetcar, Snow Miku was on display! ♡

The fully painted prototype at that! ♪

Rabbit Yukine as well, of course! (/ω\)

Not to mention…!! 

The Nendoroid was not the only figure on display! There was a reason for Max Factory’s Akane Eiseihei to be in Sapporo as well…!

figma Snow Miku: Snow Bell ver. was also on display!!

So cuuuuute!!! (●´ω`●)

Those sparking eyes and slightly open mouth are great! The expression is rather different to the Nendoroid’s, giving her a whole different charm! ♪

Here is a shot with the two of them together! ♥︎

I’m told those who came by took loads of photos!
Thanks to everyone who came to take a look! (。・ω・)ノ゙

The figma also features on the other side of the streetcar! ☆

By the way! This streetcar isn’t just decorated for show, the car will be running as normal from the 17th November 2014 to the 29th March 2015!

All announcements in the car during this time period will be by Saki Fujita – Miku’s voice actress! ♪

A treat for the eyes and the ears! ♡

Let me finally get onto the very top of the prize list! The A Prize!

A Prize: Hatsune Miku: Lat-type Autumn Ver.

© Lat / Crypton Future Media, INC. www.piapro.net

This Autumn, the ‘Happy Kuji: Hatsune Miku 2014 Autumn Ver.’, a raffle that gives you a change to grab exclusive Hatsune Miku character goods will be run at FamilyMart, TSUTAYA and animate stores across Japan. The ‘A’ prize is a special Autumn-themed version of Hatsune Miku: Lat-type Ver.!

Hatsune Miku: Lat-type Ver. back in an Autumn themed outfit!

I never thought I’d be lucky enough to cross paths with another beautiful Lat-san glasses Miku! The argyle pattern and orange hems of her knee-high socks really bring out the Autumn theme!  °・(ノД`)・°・

The fresh design was decided on with both Lat-san and the head planner, Hamako! It also has a more matte finish which adds an autumn texture as well!

Even the stand has been altered for the new design!
The Autumn leaves have fallen to the ground beneath her! ♪

No matter where you look, you can see exactly why this is an ideal product for the Autumn Kuji!

Even her hair and accessories have had their colors adjusted!

Her hair is a lighter mint green instead of the normal turquoise green! It also uses semi-transparent parts giving the whole figure a lighter appearance! (。・ω・)ノ゙

The wallet chain and skirt have also been recoloured and repatterned! ★

The color scheme is also very fitting for the Halloween months as well! It has a very fresh feeling to it! Her glasses have also switched to an orange frame, and just like before they can of course be removed whenever you like!

They’re rather delicate and small parts, so the box includes a spare pair as well!

Just like the original Hatsune Miku: Lat-type Ver. she also comes with two different microphones to choose from! ♪

Here we have the two different versions together! ♪

I wish everyone luck in drawing that A Prize!
Give her lots of love if you win her! ♡


Finally…

\Dum dum dum….!!

The final prize I’ll be looking at!

LAST Prize: Mikudayo Face Cushion

© CFM/SEGA/GSC 

What an undeniable presence!!

Just having this in your room would be enough to ward off evil spirits!

However – don’t judge a face cushion by its looks! The cushion feels absolutely amazing!! Closing your eyes and stroking her is heavenly! (*Avoid opening eyes)

Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.: Part 2

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I feel like sushi today! The reason for that is that today is Mikudayo’s birthday! Everyone knows that Mikudayo loves sushi! However, all I have is a tuna mayo onigiri, so I will munch on that instead while thinking of sushi and Mikudayo!

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

The 1/8th Scale:
Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.!♥

From the Hatsune Miku song that featured in a Google Chrome commercial, ‘Tell Your World’, comes a scale figure of Hatsune Miku based on the song’s album jacket illustration.  

The colorful design of Miku made in collaboration between Fantasista Utamaro and mebae has been carefully transformed into a figure, keeping all the finest of details and feminine air of Miku as faithfully as possible.

 

 

Up for preorder as of today! ♪

I know I can’t be the only one falling for this coy Miku!

mebae’s delicate illustration transformed into a meticulous figure that captures the heart of the illustration perfectly!

Sculpted by Iwanaga Sakurako (Shokubutu Shojo-en), the same amazing sculptor behind works of art such as Deep Sea Girl, Aircraft Carrier Wo-Class and even the upcoming Satsuki Kiryuin!

This Miku looks so very gentle and ladylike, with beautiful slender legs, a dynamically sculpted skirt and hair and a hint of mystery! Taking a closer look at all the smaller elements of her design will make you realise just how incredible the sculptwork is! (*´Д`)

Yesterday’s blog took a quick 360 degree look at her, so be sure to check that as well! ⇒ Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver. Part 1

She is frozen in time at the perfect second her skirt is fluttering up around her!

It’s hard to believe the skirt is made from plastic! (; ・`ω・´)

I really thought that if I kept staring for long enough the skirt would flop down… it’s amazing to see motion and texture captured so realistically on a static pose!

The ever so slight peek at her stomach is also a lovely touch!

(・∀・) “Also note the detailed movements of her twin-tails!”

We’re joined by the planner for the figure, Hamako!!

(・∀・)”Miku is well-known for her bold twin-tails, which are sculpted spinning out in all sorts of directions to add to the dynamic feeling of the figure! Careful attention was also given to the use of depth to closer recreate the feeling of the original illustration!”

The hair wound around her right finger comes from the left side of her hair! I could never quite tell on the illustration, but the figure let’s you see everything from whatever angle you please! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

(・∀・) “The degree of accuracy of the hair is just lovely – just look at the way it curls around her arm and twirls around her finger! It looks so soft!

There is even some winding around her legs!! (*´▽`*)

Speaking of her legs… just look how nice and juicy they look as the knee-highs squish her skin down! Delicious!!

(・∀・)” Yep! At first glance Miku is very slender, but she actually has some rather sexy curves to her body as well!”

This angle gives you a good look at her arm and fingers! The upper arm looks so delicate and smooth!

You can also just see her thighs sticking out inbetween the knee-highs and skirt, and the overall posture of the figure gives her an effeminate charm! (´□`。)

(・∀・)”Another thing that I personally love is her expression!”

(・∀・) “Her eyes just seem to suck you inside… wrapped with a mysterious atmosphere that leaves you wondering what she is thinking! It really captures the feeling of mebae’s illustration so very well!”

To me her eyes have a very strong will attached to them – true determination! But at the same time they have a mature feeling to them. At the same time, the opened mouth with a gentle finger touched to it has a rather innocent charm to it… the mixed signals all in one expression just make her all the more charming! ( -ノェ-)

(・∀・) “The figure was also checked directly by the original illustrator, mebae… who was very happy with the way she came out!”

Oooh! Even the original illustrator was happy with the figure! Yay! ♪

(・∀・) “There is so much to enjoy on the figure… her lovely expressions, dynamic sculpting of the twin tails and skirt, a bright and colorful outfit and careful work to bring it all together as best as possible! I know Miku fans will love how she has come out!”

Filled with great detail – get ready to tell her all about your world!

Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver. Part 1

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Whenever Monday is a public holiday I lose always lose track of what day of the week it is! There are a few public holidays this month, so I keep needing to adjust my pace to match…! (; ・`ω・´)

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

The 1/8th Scale:
Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.!

From the Hatsune Miku song that featured in a Google Chrome commercial, ‘Tell Your World’, comes a scale figure of Hatsune Miku based on the song’s album jacket illustration.

The colorful design of Miku made in collaboration between Fantasista Utamaro and mebae has been carefully transformed into a figure, keeping all the finest of details and feminine air of Miku as faithfully as possible.

 

 

Ooooooohhh!!! (*´▽`*)

It’s been a while since her debut at WonFes, but she is finally ready for preorders!

The beautiful sculpting work is by none other than Iwanaga Sakurako (Shokubutu Shojo-en) – the same sculptor behind a number of amazing figures including the Aircraft Carrier Wo-Class! ♥

She looks just like mebae’s original illustration! (゚A゚;)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at her from eight different directions so everyone can see every side of the figure! In tomorrow’s blog I’ll take a more in-depth look at her!

Let’s get started! (`・ω・´)

Ahhh… (。´Д` )

The complex sculpting of her hair as it flows around her together with the skirt swirling around her… and those unbelievably beautiful fingertips!

It’s hard to put into words, but the ‘translucent’ feeling the figure gives off is amazing! Her eyes seem to be drifting off far into the distance, creating a mysterious yet compelling pose as she gently twirls her finger through her hair, innocently pulling it toward her mouth…

“Tell me about your very own world…”

Hatsune Miku: Tell Your World Ver.

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow!!

Plus orders from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP will also include a lovely Original A3 Tapestry as a bonus! ♪

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Halloween Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve always felt I’ve had a bit of an affinity for pumpkins! I much prefer sweeter side dishes anyway!
Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Halloween Ver. !

From the ‘Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku’ comes a Nendoroid of Hatsune Miku dressed up a cute little devil for Halloween! Her dress is made in the image of a pumpkin, and the outfit is covered with cute and colorful lace and ribbons! She also features expressions with orange eyeshadow, fangs and wings, bringing out the little devil in Miku for fans to enjoy!

Together with her standard smiling expression, she also comes with a confident sneering expression and a special pumpkin head for all sorts of Halloween pranks! Optional parts include Halloween-themed items such as some candy and a jack-o’-lantern which can even be used as a head part for Nendoroid Petites! Enjoy this year’s Halloween with Miku by your side!

Oooooooohhh!! (*´▽`*)

A slightly mischievous Miku perfect for Halloween!

Even the packaging is made to look like a jack-o’-lantern ♡

This product will actually be on sale soon! (`・ω・´)

She will be on sale first at three different events!

Starting with MIKU EXPO 2014 on the 11th October 2014! (GSC Online orders will be available at a later stage.) The other places you can buy her are listed on her product page: Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Halloween Ver.

Let’s take a closer look, shall we? ♪

This is how the packing looks!

…I see some rather interesting expressions! (゚A゚;)

I’ll be taking a look at each of them in detail!

First up we have her Standard Expression!

Beautiful!

Those little fangs on either side are just so adorable!!

The orange eye shadow also adds to the mischievous look! (*´Д`)

It’s definitely a rather different feeling to the normal Miku-san – personally I’ve really fallen in love with it! The way her eyelashes and pupils look have also been changed to have more of a Halloween look! ♪

Her expression isn’t the only thing that is cute though…

Orange x Black x White!
A Sexy Halloween Costume! 

The little balls around the bottom of her skirt look like little balls of cream, and the little bat wings on her dress are so very cute! ♥︎ ヽ(o´∀`o)ノ

(・∀・) “Did you notice her legs yet?”

We’re joined by the figure’s planner, Hamako !

(・∀・) “If you look above the black and white striped socks, you’ll see she’s wearing a garterbelt!”

Oooh! I see!!! You can even see the little clasps on them! Σ(゚∀゚ノ)ノ

(・∀・) “We can’t show any more on photos here, but be sure to take a look if you grab her! The details are quite intricate!”

Let me be the first to say that I was very impressed!! I love seeing details on places that you normally shouldn’t even see!

(・∀・) “Here is the illustration she was based on!”

Oooooohhh!! (*´Д`)

So this is where Halloween Miku started from!

(・∀・) “Yep! The costume design was by Suoh-san, which then moved on all the way to becoming a Nendoroid!”

After the Nendoroid was announced, a more showy illustration was also made!

Both of the illustrations have a bit of a mature feeling to them, but also a kind of mysterious sexiness! (/ω\)

The little bat wings on her back are a bit hard to see from the front, but from the back they’re very noticeable!

(・∀・) “They have of course been included on the Nendoroid too!”

Ooh! They even make use of transparent parts!

But even more amazing is that expression! She looks even more mischievous than before!

(・∀・) “My personal favorite – the confident sneering expression!”

It’s perfect! Good job!!

The expression brings out that mysterious feeling from the illustrations nicely! The directions that twin-tails are twisting in are also somehow rather sexy! ♡

This pose was my attempt at making a sexy Nendoroid pose! (=゚ω゚)ノ

The standard expression would have also worked well, but the way that only one of her fangs is sticking out on this expression gives it that extra little bit of little devilish charm! Definitely not an expression I think you’d ever see on a normal Miku figure! ♡

(・∀・) “Hmm…. but there is another expression that also suits Halloween, perhaps even more so!”

W-What expression could possibly feel more Halloweeny than this mischievous looking little devil?!  (゚A゚;)

Wait! I remember! I saw it in the blister pack!

(・∀・) “A pumpkin head!”

At first the impact is rather huge… but after looking for awhile it actually looks rather cute!

(`・ω・) “I was really worried when making this expression that it wasn’t going to come out cute enough for a Nendoroid.”

We’re also joined by the GSC production team’s Itashi Katahara!

(`・ω・) “But once it was connected onto the hair and body, it actually came out looking rather nice!”

The expression alone IS rather creepy, but combined with the body she is rather cute!

I also look forward to trying the face on various other characters! ε=(。・д・。)


Aaaaaahh!! ( ゚д゚)

Nendoroid Petite: Rin-chan has been targeted by pumpkin head Miku!


\TRICK or TREAT! Become a Pumpkin!! ★/

Magic! ☆

The included pumpkin can be used to simply display beside her, or instead used as a head part for a Nendoroid Petite figure!!

(・∀・) “Nendoroid Petites want to join in the Halloween fun! I hope everyone enjoys the option!”


A little devil Miku ready to join you for Halloween!

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Halloween Ver. !

She will be on sale at various events in the USA first, but will also be available worldwide from the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP afterwards!

(・∀・) “The first place that she will be on sale will be MIKU EXPO 2014 in Los Angeles… and I will be joining the event myself too!”

W-What?!

No fair! Hamako gets to debut in America before me!! (´□`。)

(・∀・) “It’s my first time on an overseas business trip!”

Details about the event can be found here: http://event.goodsmile.info/event/hatsune-miku-expo-2014-in-los-angeles/?lo=en-us

If you see Hamako there, be sure to say hello! ヾ(。`・Д・´。)ノ

figma Racing Miku 2014 Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

While playing racing games, I pretty much never touch the brake button… whether it’s Initial D or Mario Cart, I’m always going full throttle! Which also of course means I always lose a huge amount of time on turns! (;´∀`)

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at Good Smile Racing’s…

figma Racing Miku 2014 ver.

The official character of the Hatsune Miku GT Project: Racing Miku! The 2014 version of her was drawn by the up-and-coming illustrator Oguchi with a costume design by Shigeto Koyama, who has been involved in art direction of a number of popular anime series – and that unique design has been transformed into a figma for sponsors of the team to enjoy!

Planning Cooperation: Max Factory

Ooooooohhhhh!!! (*´▽`*)

The goddess that guided the GSR team’s Z4 back into the top of the overall ranking by two points after last weekend’s race!

I managed to get get hold of the painted prototype of her to give a quick preview on the blog! There is currently only one photo on the GSC site, so you’ll be able to see a whole lot more from this blog!! Including a first look at some of the optional parts! ( -ノェ-)

The very first photo above was of course taken in the classic pose of the original illustration! The same pose that Racing Miku 2014 Ver. is posed in! Even the awesome round mechanical parts are included!

However she also comes with more simple parts instead of the round parts – these can also be seen on the GSC Site Product Page at the moment! ♪

In other words…

You can easily switch between the two different attachments! (`・ω・´)

Simply pick the one you think suits her better!

Moving on, let’s see how she looks from the back! ♡

The lovely coiling look of her twintails has been kept beautifully!
The very tips of the hair are slightly transparent to lovely effect!

The outfit also shows off her back and bottom!
She is a rather slender Miku-san, but her bottom still has some meat to it! *nom nom* (๑´ڡ`๑)

By the way, along with the determined expression you see above, she also comes with this adorable smiling expression! ♡

I-It’s so cute!! (*´Д`)

It also makes her look a little more youthful and innocent! ♪
It’s nice to have expressions that change the feeling of a character so much – it allows for a much broader set of possible poses!

Another thing to note is just how faithfully her outfit has been preserved in figma form!

The line coming up from her belly button too! <◯><◯>
By the way, the outfit around the stomach area is made from a soft material for easy posing!

Hmm… Miku also seems to be holding something here! What is it…?

A Team Flag!! (`・ω・´)

She looks so happy and proud to be holding it! (´□`。)

Plus there is another optional part that simply had to be included…

Her Racing Parasol!

She comes with both a closed and open version, allowing for a variety of different options! ♪

Special hand parts are also included to hold the parasol, and are included for the left and right hands! Which means you can even pose her holding both the open and closed parasols at the same time! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The photo above is taken in the image of the Z4 speeding past Miku-san, causing a rush of wind that blows her twintails over to the side! ♡

I look forward to see that happens in the next race!! ((o(´∀`)o))ワクワク

GSR Race Schedule: http://www.goodsmileracing.com/en/race/raceschedule2014/

Enjoy both the cool and cute sides of Racing Miku!

figma Racing Miku 2014 ver.

The figma is included as a special item for those who become sponsors for the Good Smile Racing team! It won’t be available anywhere else or as a standard product!

Please see the official sponsorship page for more info:
https://gsr-global.ecq.sc

Applications for the higher figma course sponsors close on the 10th September 2014! Don’t miss out!

However, the 7000JPY course which still includes the figma will be open until the 27th October, so you still have awhile to grab the figma! Either way, make sure you don’t forget! (`・ω・´)

1/8th Scale Racing Miku 2014 Ver.

Today’s star…

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

And without further ado, let’s get straight onto today’s review…

The 1/8th Scale:
Racing Miku 2014 Ver.!

GOODSMILE RACING & TeamUKYO is currently taking part in the GT300 class races of Japan’s top motor racing series the ‘SUPER GT’ under the banner of the ‘Hatsune Miku GT Project’. The mascot character for the project is none other than Racing Miku, who is back again in 1/8th scale, this time dressed up in her new outfit for 2014!

This season’s Racing Miku was illustrated by the up-and-coming illustrator Oguchi with design direction by Shigeto Koyama, famous for his work in various anime series! The two of them have come together to create a design that fans have come to love, which has now become a scale figure for fans to add to their collection!

Oooooooohhh!! ヾ(*´Д`)ノ

The goddess of the racing circuit is back again as a scale figure this year!

This season’s Miku is really quite special – illustrated by Oguchi with art direction by Shigeto Koyama! ♡

The unique posing with lovely twisted hips and her confident expression are beautiful, and the mechanical looking parts on her sides are also sculpted spectacularly!

The angling of her pinky finger is exquisite! (*´Д`)=з

I can’t be the only one that gets a bit of a dainty, elegant feeling by looking at this! But anyway, let’s move on and take a look from some other angles! ♪

Starting with a look from the back!

The balance of her twisted upper body is magical!

This angle also gives you a nice look at her shapely thighs and cute little bottom! But perhaps the most important thing to look at here are her twintails!!

Miku is best known for her long twintails, and this year’s Racing Miku illustration has them soaring up behind her in a beautiful scene!

Using nothing but the main illustration which was a head-on view of Miku, figuring out how and where the hair was moving for the figure must have been rather difficult!

I decided to speak to the man behind the sculpting to find out more!
The GSC Production Team’s Katou-sensei! (`・ω・´)

Q: How did you figure out how to sculpt this twisty turny hair?

A: There were obviously some parts that were not visible in the illustration, so some areas simply had to be done with some imagination and guesswork, but we also had the original character design images so the length of the hair and volume of the twists could all be calculated using those!”

It’s like time froze just as her hair was fluttering around her! (゚A゚;)

Q:That reminds me, in May we had one of the GSR Supporters Kelal (@kelal0808) come by for photos to be used as posing research!”

A: “That’s right. We mainly used those photos to work on the collarbone and shoulders. It was important to see where the force of movement was focused when the upper body was bent in that way – we got a load of very useful photos from all sorts of angles which really helped the sculptwork on the figure!”

Some of you may even remember me mentioning this in a past blog over here:
http://mikatan.goodsmile.info/en/2014/05/02/dokodemo-rensouhou-chan/

Kelal-san has body proportions very similar to Racing Miku which made her the perfect model to test out how the body would react in certain poses and get a more realistic looking sculpt!

Her official blog can be found here: Kelal-officialBlog“1%er”

She also danced to ‘Seikan Hikou’ during the photography session!

Q: Are there any areas of the figure you’d like to point out?

A: The sculpt of the hair is definitely my personal highlight… but the mechanical parts at her hips are also really awesome! These were made by Matsuzawa-san from the 3D team!

The soft skin of her hips contrast with the mechanical parts beautifully!! (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

The turbine-like inside of the parts has also been faithfully preserved on the figure! Each of the little white flaps around it also look amazing! (*´Д`)=з

As usual the contrast between the mechanical and the cute girl makes for such a lovely sight! It makes her skin seem all the more softer… < ◯>< ◯>

Anyway, let me introduce my personal favorite point of the figure…! ♪

Do you see what I’m talking about?!

The way her hips are twisted…(*´▽`*)

The combination of her slender and twisted body… I can’t help but want to touch it!! Not to mention that you also get a nice view of her chest from this angle… ^^

Another thing I want to point out, is that even though most of her skin is covered up… you can still make out her body’s curves perfectly through the outfit!

You can even make out where her belly button is!!

Also if you look at the clip underneath her breasts it really looks as if it’s clipped on! It all looks so realistic!! (๑´ڡ`๑)

From the curves modelled off a real model, the soft looking appearance of her skin at the thighs… Racing Miku may be a fictional character but the realism that comes out of the sculpt and paintwork really makes me fell that she is here with me, more real than anyone else!! She is really a work of art!

Grab the goddess of the circuit for yourself! ♡

The 1/8th Scale:
Racing Miku 2014 Ver.!

She’ll be up for preorder from the 26th August! ♪

By the way, today’s photos were taken by sunlight! It definitely gives a slightly different feeling to photos taken under normal lights!

Racing Miku: Sepang Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I spent the weekend shut inside my house, spending much more time with my aircon than with the sun. Although seeing all the people with suntans walking about really makes it seem like summertime…

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at a figure that has been beautifully tanned by the Summer sun…

The 1/8th Scale..

Racing Miku: Sepang Ver.! ★

The fastest diva under the sun is here in her Sepang Ver.!

The Hatsune Miku GT Project’s mascot character ‘Racing Miku’ was illustrated cheering on the team at the 2013 Sepang Circuit, and that version of Miku has now been made into a figure!

Her sleek curves and colorful wings – even the tanned color of her skin have all been faithfully preserved on the figure. The smallest of details from her unique design leave tons of highlights for fans to enjoy! Enjoy the company of the sexy tanned Racing Miku, ready to cheer you on whenever you need it!

Oooooooohhhh!!! (*´▽`*)

A 1/8th scale figure of the golden-brown tanned Miku-san from the Sepang race! ♪

Although Miku may be known for her long twin-tails, this version of her with her hair tied up in buns is also adorable! I also decided to take today’s photos in a section of the office filled with GSR goodies to better suit the atmosphere! ★

Her supple and sporty looking body is only made sexier by the lovely suntan! (*´Д`)=з

The darker skin is also contrasted beautifully with the use of clear, semi-transparent wing parts on her outfit! (`・ω・´)

Let’s see how she looks from the back! ♪

It only gets sexier as you get a good look at her twisted hips… not to mention the epic wing parts attached to her back!

One jump to victory!!ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Both her right foot and the placard she is holding her in her hands connect onto the base, holding her securely in place even with such a dynamic pose!

Now let’s take a closer look from the front! (σ・∀・)σ

At first glance the shape of her rib cage as well as her beautifully shaped breasts may jump at you, but the point I really think is delicious is the slightly elongated belly button!♡

The almost mechanical, spiky appearance of her outfit also contrasts with her soft looking skin very nicely! The slight gradient applied to the light blue areas on her outfit is also stunning! ε=(。・д・。)

The lighter untanned skin on her thigh reads ‘SUPER GT SEPANG’, and she also has a tattoo of the GSR logo on her flank… this version of Miku definitely has a little more mischievous charm to her than the normal Miku! ヽ(o´∀`o)ノ

Whilst she does have that mechanical feeling about her design… the parts you’d expect to look soft and fleshy do not disappoint!!

Just look at the line connecting her bottom and thigh!! Delicious!!

The creases on her outfit are simply perfect!! ( 。• ̀ω•́ )b
You can just picture the soft skin underneath so easily! Just try it!!

Once your’s arrives, be sure to take a close look from every single angle!!

A Racing Diva perfectly suited to the Summer!

Racing Miku: Sepang Ver.

She is currently up for preorder!

Orders at the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP are open until the 20th August at 21:00JST! Don’t miss out! ♪

Mikuzukin

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

The first day of Autumn is here, but the Summer heat is still lingering on! I for one will get through the heat with my one-ice-cream-a-day policy! (`・ω・´)

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

1/7th Scale:

Mikuzukin! ♪

From SEGA’s rhythm game ‘Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- 2nd’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of one of the most popular ‘module’ outfits from the game, Mikuzukin! All the details of her outfit have been carefully sculpted onto the figure, including the large red hood with a cute little wolf peeking out from the top!

The figure is filled with various adorable highlights such as the white apron with flower prints, the large red ribbon on her chest and even the cute wolf shape she is making with her right hand! All the better to display in your collection, my dear!

Oooooooooooh!! (*´▽`*)♡♥


No wolf would dare harm something this cute! ♡

An adorable Miku-san dressed up in a Red Riding Hood outfit!

The amount of work that has gone into the outfit is spectacular! The frills and bows all over are lovely! The outfit looks so soft and fluffy that it’s actually really strange to touch it and find it is so hard! (゚A゚;)

This is how she looks from the back! ♪

The figure is posed in a fairly standard standing pose, but the twist in her hips and legs gives a slightly dynamic feeling to the figure!

The huge ribbon at her hips, all the frills of the skirt… the yellow ribbons on her knee socks… everything comes together and fits the pose so nicely! ☆

The slight bunching of material on her socks behind her knees and at her ankles is also fantastic!

Let’s get a slightly closer look shall we! (`・ω・´)ゞ

Not only are the creases realistic, the soft, smooth look of the socks is done so nicely – it really gives the illusion that she is wearing real fabric! ♡

Another thing I have to point out is her apron!

Not only do all the edges of the fabric feature intricate frills, even the stitching along the edges has been carefully included! Not to mention the cute pattern on the front! (゚A゚;)コ

The lacy edge of her socks and the lacy edge of her skirt also create a little border for the little glimpse of bare legs you can see inbetween!

The product as a whole is fantastic, but I could happily stare at these intricate little details for ages!! From the tips of her toes to the end of her fingers – the detail is simply astounding! =(。・д・。)

The original sculptor of the figure was Grizzry Panda, and his amazing work will be transformed into a PVC figure for fans all over the world to enjoy!

The little wolf is also included!! He gave up trying to eat Miku-san when he saw how cute she was! (*´Д`)

His expression is so very adorable! ♥

In the fairytale the wold might be the bad guy, but I get the feeling that this wolf isn’t going to cause any problems! Plus if you look from behind, the wolf’s ears stick out making it look like Miku has wolf ears instead!

Her nails are also painted the same color as her hair!, and if you look from an angle above, the increasing volume of her skirt becomes much more noticeable!

It’s like the module jumped right out of the game!
Be sure to add her to your collection! ♪
