After quite a hiatus thanks to the holiday mood and permanent brain damage from kampfer, I’m here (thanks to kaze’s persistence) with a somewhat late post on the opening of preorder for Max Factory’s Hatsune Miku VN02 (read: zero two) mix figurine, originally unveiled at Wonderfest09 in June-July 2009 (wonderfest 09 post at VO). The 1/8 scale figurine, slated to be out in June-July 2010 (will probably be delayed), is sculpted by the talented Shining Wizard @ Sawachika (well known for this wonderful peach-pit’s rozen maiden figurines at earlier wonderfest events - shinki & suiginto) and based on the original illustration by artist nagimiso san under Max Factory’s quality production *heh*. Personally, as the image caption above hints – I’m not particularly fond of this figurine, I’ll admit it’s well done, but it’s just not the hatsune miku I like. So unfortunately, I’ll be passing on this 131 USD figurine – no it has nothing to do with the price tag >_>;. Nonetheless, the reservation has started for this elaborately detailed kos-mos/major kusanagi-style hatsune miku at hobby search or other figurine websites/shops earlier this week. The arguably unrelated image above is by kakaon san ^^
oh ho ho ho, looks like miku’s got add-ons like gundams too.
iyaan~ miku, dun look at me like that!! it makes me feel like a perverted lolicon~ *hazukashii wa*
The original design of this cybernetic Miku comes from the artwork by nagimiso san in this video below:

Oh, and there’s a nice wallpaper of the Miku VN02 mix design from nagimiso’s site.
VN02 mix aside, I’d really appreciate if a major maker (preferably not clayz) pick up the 2 works below, shown at wonderfest 2009:
I’m not sure if someone picked this up already or not, cuz if it has been picked up – then I’ve missed it … aaaand i’m going to go cry in a dark corner. :’(
*ahem* wa.. what? I mean, even those ikki tousen figurines are more racy than this!!
