Upcoming Vocaloid Figurines By Max Factory

Kazearashi — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 18:05:10 +0000

Here are some preview scans of the upcoming Vocaloid Figures 8D Figma Luka, Figma Dead Master and Hatsune Miku Tony Taka Version scale figure. ^^

Figma Luka and Dead Master looks nice and good, but unfortunately I stopped buying figmas, prefer Nendoroid more so I will be skipping on this too I guess.. Though I admit the Luka one looks really nice and cute with the maguro… lol

No price and date yet for Dead Master Figma, for Luka Figma she will be scheduled to release on September this year with retail price of 2800 Yen.

This Miku scale figure by Max Factory looks stunning… I really like the pose and that hair line… Depending on the final coloured version I think I might be getting this. Looks really nice to add to my Miku figure collection.. XD No price and date yet for this one too…

Thanks wcloudxkumo for heads up.

「BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER〜Flow My Tears, the Girl Said」 Picture book at c77

rihoko — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:59:06 +0000

You know, I wouldn’t mind if BRS turns out to be a cute loli anime like lucky☆star (oh look there’s a star in there too) with no action whatsoever – that said, I just noticed it’s listed as an OVA at moonphase…

Announced at pixiv’s site on Friday, huke, in collaboration with 61 other popular pixiv artists, will be releasing an A4-sized, 48-sheet full color art book of their B★RS-related works for only 1000 yen (roughly 11 USD) at comiket 77 (29-31 December 2009). Yeah, so for us outside japan, add the air ticket/accomodation and it might be a tad bit pricier to get our dirty hands on this book. Loliness power provided by kl@（仝ω仝） san.

Cover by huke

Apart from huke san who did the cover above, the 61 pixiv artists are:
(copy & pasta from website, and i know i’m good at copy & pasta >:D)

Yes, go ahead – go through them all and collect those pics, cuz you know you’re not ever gonna be able to grab one of these books (unless they’re on ebay for 50 bucks)!!! *j/k* even if you manage to get there, the queue is prolly so long that you can go rub a loli butt, explain the police its your culture of saying “hi” (using your gaijin power of course), and come back to see the same ppl in the queue, playing their project diva.

.. Anyway, I’m sure for those who frequent pixiv, these are pretty familiar names.

brs by uno san

Those who are able to obtain the book will probably have enough high quality print of Brs-tan pictures in all her glory to attain a heightened spiritual status that’ll last.. er.. at least until the next comiket? ^^;

An excerpt frame from haku san’s BRS multi-frame (5-koma) art series. Sorry shooter-tan, I think saw-tan is cuter… i mean red eyes.. those are hawt!

On an unrelated note, EastNewSound will be releasing a new album [Sacred Factor], featuring both chata (lucid dream) and nayuta (hiiro gekka 1st yr anniversary version), this c77 as well. The usual promotional video is not yet ready, it seems.

Max Factory’s Miku VN02-mix Figurine reservation opens!

rihoko — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:25:02 +0000

: 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.

goodsmile prototype pic 2

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:

wf_xrea_wf2009s_49

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. :’(

uzumaki_wf09s_1248

*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*

Nendo Plus Cars and Rollers Reservation Open

Kazearashi — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:21:26 +0000

A few days ago, Mikatan posted about these cars and rollers up on her blog, kinda missed it since I was busy with stuff >< but yesterday the reservation for these cute plus items is opened. =D You can start preordering over at the Hobby Search, for Miku, Rin, Len and Luka on the link respectively.

They will be retailing for 1480 yen each and will be scheduled to release on March next year. ^^ I probably will not be getting these, I know it’s so cute to have them riding this, but apparently the size is only for the puchi nendo… D= I might be buying these if it’s the normal nendoroid size xD Reserve yours now if you’re interested in it! ^^

Attack of the new vocaloids, loli-loid included!

rihoko — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:05:38 +0000

With kaze busy rushing his work, it’s me and my poor title naming sense again! Although slightly late *cough*, now that more solid information is available, I’m here to report on the 3 new vocaloids and 2 voiceroids, all slated to be released on 4 December 2009 by AH-Software. The image above is by kl@ san.

The new 2nd generation vocaloids are SF-A2 code name Miki, who will be featuring in the VOCALOIDS★Xmas album, and a new forbidden-love pair of teacher and loli student, Hiyama sensei and Yuki-tan. Not that I have anything against new vocaloids being churned out so fast (it’s definitely a good thing for fan artists and fanfic writers), but whoaa.. at this rate we’ll really need a tekken-style vocaloid battle royale game, so vocaloids from different companies can slug it out at each other to determine the str⑨ngest vocaloid!! I’m rooting for yuki-tan!!! Card game/Manga/Anime can follow. 　We’ll call it Vocaloid Blades and make it really pervy. uhuh

That aside, the 2 voiceroids are more or less an advanced japanese MSagent text to speech softwares, which come in the personality of a 5-yr old loli Tsukuyomi Ai chan, and a 7-yr old shota Tsukuyomi Shouta kun　(apparently a Tetsujin 28-go reference).

So without further ado, here’s a summary of the new vocaloids/voiceroid to be released this coming December. Just how big a piece of the vocaloid market pie can these garner is surely anybody’s guess.

SF-A2 Code name Miki – with voice samples from Furukawa Miki (formerly with supercar) possibly from her collaboration with Saihate’s producer, onyxP. Miki is set to be a futuristic android pop singer character with a strong resemblance to Topless/Buster Machine no. 7 Nono-chan.
Suitable tempo: 70-170
Suitable note range: E2-G4
[amazon.co.jp link]
Vocaloid Sensei (teacher) – Hiyama Kiyoteru - Sorry, I can’t help but relate this character to Aoki from kodomo no jikan. His profile mentions he plays in a rockband, Ice mountain during the weekends. So maybe he’s cool, unlike aoki. *cough*
Suitable tempo: 60-160
Suitable note range: C2-G3
[amazon.co.jp link]
Vocaloid Shougakusei (grade/primary school student) – Kaai Yuki - Why I left her last? Cuz she’s the ONLY new vocaloid you actually need to remember!! Forget the above, this is it! I don’t care if her voice is not that unique or anything, this adorable 9-year old yuki chan is the NEW VOCALOID STAR!!! I wouldn’t mind if she takes over Miku’s spot as the most popular vocaloid. omg, i love loli-loid so much. Her height puzzles me slightly though, it says big apple 10 .. o.o; new york 10? A friend said this could be a reference to japanese parcel size, that’ll be around 105 cm.
Suitable tempo: 50-150
Suitable note range: F2-C4
[amazon.co.jp link]

VOICEROIDS
– at 9,800 yen each (~109 USD), but package (both included) price at 17,800 yen (198 USD) without amazon discount

Tsukuyomi Ai – 5-yr old ideal loli voice, this is definitely the voice you want to have reading your final year project presentation. Imagine the professors getting all soft and giving you A+. Videos of voice samples uploaded to youtube can be found below.
[amazon.co.jp link]
Tsukuyomi Shouta – 7-yr old oniichan of Ai, shouta has a cute shota voice that makes me want to bully him and huggle him at the same time. Aa.. wrong dirty thoughts
[amazon.co.jp link]
[amazon.co.jp packaged with loli sister] – you and I both know shouta wouldn’t sell otherwise. :p

Currency Conversions based on Friday Nov 13, 2009 closing value of 1.11362 USD to 100 yen

Don’t be sad, here’s a pair of cherries.

: SF-A2 Miki sounds like something from macross

For comparison, Miki and Yuki-tan’s cover of the Miku song ±（ぷらすまいなす） Plus Minus has been uploaded to nico earlier:
Miku’s version:

Miki’s version:

Yuki-tan’s version:

omg LOVE~

Update: Apparently as the anti-loli, enemy-of-2chan/otaku Agnes Chan (former 80s idol now ambassador of Japan’s NGO committee supporting UNICEF) is likely to be scrutinizing poor Yuki-tan, a yuki-tan cover of Agnes Chan’s Try Again translated in Japanese (about half of the song only) was uploaded to nico early Saturday. Luka had also previously covered this song back in February and her voice is used for part of the chorus.

Aoki Hiyama sensei is left to sing with this slow rock ballad: Seichi (Holy Land) Jerusalem

Furthermore, Gigazine has uploaded some voice samples for the voiceroid on youtube last Tuesday.
Ai chan sample 1

Yeah.. it’s the “Sensei anone” loli talking style plus the age-old 2chan meme ”Oniichan, doushite hatarakanai no? (Oniichan, why aren’t you working)” with an ojichan (uncle)
plus an interesting PM hatoyama twist

Ai chan voice sample 2

Oo. loli tsundere… which anime is this from XD i’m sure i’ve heard these lines before

Shouta voice sample 1
Shouta voice sample 2

Sorry, shota shouta kun, I have no interest in your voice samples..

Anyway, one of the first things that came up in mind when seeing these new vocaloids and that pic above by kl@ san was yuki-tan and hiyama sensei doing a cover of the duet “ai no lolita” (Nanako SOS).
And perhaps coincidentally, the loli competition have forced Crypton to reconsider the importance of its Project If.., thereby creating a new twitter account in crypton’s latest progress report on the IF vocaloids were loli, they’d sell 10000 times more project .

*sigh* missed the marisa EX plushie.. will have to wait for the restock .. sad

Gift’s new 70-cm Touhou Plushies~ haauu

rihoko — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:21:51 +0000

OMG, JUST LOOK AT MARISA!!! Omochikaeri~~ .. supposing the person huggling marisa (nooot fair! let me hug her tooo ><) is not a child, Gift online shop’s new touhou nuigurumi (plush) series EX, which includes Marisa and Reimu, are huge and sooo adorable!!! Forget the trouble of getting a spouse to manifest a loli, you can just buy these!! They probably don’t talk much, but that’s besides the point. Either way, these are definitely a must-have, if possible, for touhou fans as well as fans of cuteness! Never mind the inferior nendroid plus series hatsune miku and hatchune miku plushies released earlier in August by Gift online with a 2nd production line out this month, these plushies are so much better!! I mean, these giant plushies (70 cm while sitting down) potentially sends all the once-trendy otakus going around town with their dakimakura girlfriends out of fashion!!

Come Friday November 13, 2009 21:00 JPT and the touhou EX series will be available for pre-ordering on Gift online shop.. now I gotta figure out how to get my perv hands on them. The shipping fare must be huge.. >_<

*Update (10 Nov 2009, 5:06 pm GMT+8): Thanks to persocom for the comment regarding the price.

The item pages are up on gift online shop site and the price tags on these EX series plushies are a hefty 29,800 yen (that’s 459 SGD, or 331 USD) Personally, I’m willing to pay that much for these, a rl loli would cost more.. but the question is how to get these without using vpost (I ended up paying about 60 usd more on my akg k 701 earlier this year thanks to their wonderful service).. ..and if they fit into the regular size parcel boxes XD.

Deka fumo Reimu’s item page (3rd restock in december 09)
Deka fumo Marisa’s item page (intial release planned on december 09)

OMG!!!! REIMU AND MARISA!! so loveable~ *dies* er wait.. not yet. i need to huggle them in real life first >_<

Haaauuu… *drools* The previous smaller series of reimu and marisa plushies as well as November’s new handpuppet series are already availabe at the online store.

Gift’s Kanegon san also announced a couple of other new touhou plushies lineups (not EX series though) to be released in the upcoming comiket77 (Dec 29~31), along with the new nendroid plus series 4 and 5, Kagamine Rin/Ren respectively….

Time to start bugging hobby search or your favorite sites to get them for pre-ordering. ^^

Note: Sorry for the lack of updates recently, kaze is busy with his projects and I’m busy with re-watching kuroko (railgun) trying to jump on biribiri over and over and over. .and over again *loves kuroko*

Well, not much in terms of vocaloid news anyway:There have been news of Yamaha to be releasing 3 new vocaloids soon, as well as a new vocaloid to be released in December from saihate’s author, onyxP, named Miki (possible voice samples by furukawa miki and already has an MMD model in the making) for a christmas album to be released next week November 18, 2009.

Happy Halloween!

rihoko — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:07:10 +0000

Happy Halloween!! haha well it’s already over, on this side of the world. Personally, I don’t celebrate it anymore, but for those who do, hope you had fun trick-or-treating or enjoyed yourselves at the halloween dances/parties. I doubt it’s a special day in Japan as well, but as usual, the vocaloids were celebrating it over at niconicodouga and pixiv, among other online places - the image above is by 84 in pixiv.

For this year, a new vocaloid halloween event video worth highlighting is probably MachigeritaP’s new work, “Dream Meltic Halloween” .

MachigeritaP was also responsible for last year’s vocaloid halloween video hit, ” Halloween Monster Party Night“.

Unfortunately, I’ve not seen any new vocaloid videos utilizing the new nico(9)’s unlimited bitrate feature for their videos.
I hope I can look forward to awesome vocaloid HD PV on nico from now on \^^/

New VOCALOID Project “Project if…”

Kazearashi — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:28:36 +0000

According to a post in Crypton blog yesterday, it seems that they are starting a new experimental development project outside the CV series. The new project is called “Project if…” This new project will be developed concurently with the two other project, Hatsune Miku append and the new upcoming male VOCALOID.

Hatsune Miku Project DIVA Premium Figure

Kazearashi — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:18:12 +0000

Recently a post in PIAPRO blog mentioned about another Hatsune Miku figure by SEGA. There is not much detail in it though, some things that I catch is this figure will be available in game center as previous figures by SEGA, though it is not mentioned as a prize in UFO catcher or can be normally bought there. Apparently it won’t be sold in normal figure shops I think, and it is scheduled to be out on this coming November. More picture under the cut.

It is a bit bigger than the previous figure by SEGA, can see from the packaging xD

Miku looks cute in this shot ^^

The pedestal looks cool also =D

Another Miku figure to collect for you xD Well I would want to get it too, I guess need to wait for more detail on it and of course what matter most, the price lol… But seeing the previous figure by SEGA, this one also looks afordable too.. xD It’s just that I don’t think they will sell it on normal shops or even online shops… D=
