figma Hatsune Miku Vocaloid - Recent Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Vocaloid (Vocal + Android) is a Japanese song simulator from Yamaha and Crypton Future Media where users type in lyrics and the software engine sings out the words in rapid fire staccato. Voice actress Fujita Saki provides the voice for Miku Hatsune in the software and she sounds like a mix between a munchkin and a generalized cartoon character. Vocaloid 2 has enjoyed strong sales since its release last year and Miku has been making the rounds on the merchandising circuit.

Max Factory and Good Smile Company team up to provide the toy collecting audience with a figma version (PVC and ABS construction) of Miku sculpted by Masaki Asai that's highly posable. Miku ships with a microphone, a microphone stand, and a pair of leeks. The package also includes an extra face which may be used to change Miku's expression and extra hands. The figure measures 14cm or 5.51" tall and is packaged with a standard figma display stand with mounting arm. Preorders have shipped already and new orders are welcome to ship this afternoon at JPY2500 or US$32.90 from NCS.
