Despite the mass contamination, a few humans are spared the curse of zombification and the buxom Rei Miyamoto is one of the chosen. Rei teams up with fellow Fujimi High School students such as Saya Takagi, Takashi Komuro, Kohta Hirano, and the school nurse Shizuka Marikawa in order to survive the zombie outbreak.

 TOYS Vocaloid Hatsune Miku Tony Ver 1/7 Scale Figure - New

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Miku Hatsune gets footloose in Max Factory's latest fix-posed rendition of the Vocaloid starling. The original illustrator of Miku's pose is Tony (just Tony) who creates a joyous Miku with four limbs that point in four different directions. From across the room, Miku's flailing motion might be interpreted as swing dancing by herself or at least with her hair since she's sculpted in a wild twisty posture that's evocative of the Lindy Hop. That's right, the Lindy Hop which was born in Harlem, NY in the 1920s and became a part of American culture in the 1930s.

   Miku is sculpted to 1/7 scale and measures 215mm or 8.46" tall from top to toe. A transparent circular base with mounting arm is included for display purposes.

 TOYS Portrait of Pirates One Piece Neo DX Marshall D. Teach
