«©NCSX» Miku Hatsune is a Princess nonpareil. A proper Princess lies on purple and black satiny sheets that are decorated like a chessboard. She also stares out at the world with self-satisfied contempt for those who would worship her. Miku wears a white slip, a miniskirt, and thigh high boots that are glossy and reflective with a mirror-like finish. That's royalty. Sort of.
From humble beginnings in the Vocaloid2 software, Miku has become a merchandising superstar in Japan. Popular characters tend to experience a snowball effect where their fame keeps rolling onwards. It's unclear if Miku will reach mythic status in a few years but we think she has a good chance and all the toys being released now might be sought after by future generations. The latest Miku Hatsune product is a Supercell which features a 3D figure that's mounted within a picture frame. It's like 3D artwork that protrudes from flat canvas into the world at large with form and substance. Preorders are welcome to ship in late Sep 2009 at JPY8381 or US$90.90.
