: tsun tsun, i’m a cute loli, not some kinda major kusanagi/kos-mos hag. :’(

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 ^^

Images of the prototype from goodsmilecompany’s website, more images can be found there and at Max Factory’s website.

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:
[Hatsune Miku] Moon Remixies [Original]

Apparently the miku VN02 mix design is more popular than the song. I believe the song might have been featured at the club event – vocaloidnight 02 (thus VN02) – i’m not sure. ^^;
Oh, and there’s a nice wallpaper of the Miku VN02 mix design from nagimiso’s site.

Comparing the prototype and the original masterpiece shown at the Wonderfest 2009, the obvious differences are the translucence of Miku’s sleeves and the shape of her base (minor). Nonetheless, knowing max factory’s standard, these type of fine details may still be altered before the final product – sometimes good, sometimes horrid.

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!!

Oh, by the way, kaze’s back in Indonesia for the holidays - so don’t be expecting any decent article any time soon. *tehe*
