Nendoroid Character Vocal Series Miku Hatsune - Update

©NCSX» The Miku Hatsune Nendoroid toy is currently in stock at NCS but Good Smile Company has announced what we count to be the third reproduction of the figure which ships in Japan towards the end of October 2009. We'll be submitting a preorder for a few factory cases just to help the cause.

Original Update: March 25, 2008

Miku Hatsune, the star of the PC Vocaloid 2 software finds herself sculpted into Nendoroid form. For the uninitiated, 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.

The Vocaloid 2 software has enjoyed strong sales since its release earlier this summer and it’s only fitting that the heroine of the software get in on some merchandising deals. The Nendoroid version of Miku measures 10cm or 3.93" in height and three variant faces, a leek, and a pair of extra arms are included for posing purposes.
