Hatsune Miku has attained a fame so high that there’s a lot of figures of her displayed during Wonder Festival 2008 “Winter”. If you are behind the news, Hatsune Miku is one of the Vocaloid characters, famous for her blue hair twin tail and of course, the infamous leek ^^ Here are some pictures of them, thanks to Akiba Blog.
One of them is this nice looking Garage Kit by Volks, probably caught the most attention of the public ^^;
Nendoroid Hatsune Miku by Good Smile Company, planned for April 2008 release.
One of the highlight is that Good smile Company is planning to release a PVC of Hatsune Miku, based on the illustration by Mr. Kei. Price and release date is still undecided ^^; Definitely on my buy list when it comes out ^^

A little bit late, but my next Gunpla entry is this cool looking “MG Strike Noir Gundam” ^^
I think this was like my 1st MG kit I ever bought, can’t remember (Yeah, I’m getting old… >.< ). Anyway, just like what I mentioned before, my Strike Noir is one of the kit that still have no panel lines done yet, just like my “MG Ex-S Gundam”. Regardless of that, it’s still look cool ^^; I’m planning to add them when I have the time, and when would that be…still undecided ( T _ T ).
Anyway on with the usual shots~
Close up~
Looks cool isn’t? ^^; It’ll look even better with the lines though ( ^ _ ^;)>
A little bit late on the news, but Hobby Search just opened the reservation yesterday for Figma Haruhi and Figma Saber from Max Factory. Both of these figures are planned for April 2008 release.
I have to say, both figures looks great ( ^ _ ^ )
Good Smile Company just want to remind everyone that Wonder Festival 2008 “Winter” will start in 3 days on 24th Febuary, 2008 (Sunday).
Wonder Festival is the biggest Gunpla/Figures event and anything related to it, and only held twice per year and is a one-day-only event.
Can’t wait ( ^ _ ^ )/
A new set of Lucky Star‘s Hiiragi Kagami & Tsukasa figures are planned for June release by Wave. There are 2 different type of release, the normal version and the Limited Edition release. The Limited Version features both the Hiiragi Sisters and an additional Miyazawa Shrine as the stand. The normal version means you have to buy each one separately.
Some screenshots:
Hiiragi Tsukasa – 3,700 Yen
Hiiragi Kagami – 3,700 Yen
Limited Edition – 8,000 Yen
Hobby Search is taking reservations now.
Hmm, I like Kagami’s one better ^^;
This was actually back in December 2007, when the Seiyuus of Tsukasa, Kagami, Shiraishi, and Akira went to Washinomiya Shrine to worship. If you didn’t know, Washinomiya Shrine is the real and actual shrine used in the anime that the Hiiragi Sisters went to as Miko (Shrine Maiden). It also the cause of the Otaku boom around the shrine, when people started to write stuffs like “Konata is my wife”, which was also mentioned in the anime. This actually got the attention of the news.
You can view the video below:
Quite funny, but too bad no Hirano Aya ^^;
Here it is, released on the 12th Febuary 2008, “Nendoroid Al-Azif” from Good Smile Company finally arrived at my place this afternoon ^^
Ordered this through Hobby Search, this is the 29th release of GSC’s Nendoroid Series. Actually this is the 1st real Nendoroid figure that I actually own, and I’m totally impressed by it. Not just the details, but it’s sooooooo Mega cute!! ( = > _ < = ) Around 10 CM in height, this time it features Al-Azif from the “Deus Machina Demonbane” series. Just like any known Nendoroid figures, it comes with extra goodies, such as hands and additional face expressions.
I can tell you that you can stare at it whole day and you won’t get bored (As if, lol) ^^;
Anyway this time I took lots of shots, and this is the most I have taken. Around 30+ shots ^^; here goes~
With Different faces~
With the helmet~
Plus Yellow Slime~
Close up~
Pantsu ^^;
“Talk to the Hand!!”
As expected from Good Smile Company ( ^ _ ^ )/
Decided to spend my Red Packet on this lovely “Corticarte Apa Lagranges 1/8 Scale” from Good Smile Company. Got this from KKnM for S$91, and looks like it’s the last of the stock, unless there’s more hidden ^^;. Actually, I have had my eyes on it since its release, but couldn’t decide whether I want to get it or not, until now ^^;
Anyway Corticarte is the main heroine from the anime “Shinkyoku Sokai Polyphonica” aired in Mid-2007. I still haven’t watch it yet, but probably gonna try and give it a look when I have the chance. You can view the OP below:
Just like any Good Smile Company releases, you can expect a good quality figure from them. The details were great and I really like the pose to be honest ^^; The figure is supported with a thick .5 CM metal bar, and the base stand also has Corticarte’s Insignia embed on it ^^ No extra goodies comes with the figure, but the skirt is cast-off-able ^^
Took lots of shots~
Close up~
Base Stand~
Panty shots~ \( = ^ _ ^ = )/
Another excellent figure ( ^ _ ^ )/

I’ll also update my links with the English version ( ^ _ ^ )/
Just saw this today, and I thought it’s ultra cute!! ^^ The video features all of the current Vocaloids, which includes Hatsune Miku and the new twins. It’s definitely made using some 3D softwares, which I don’t know of and If it’s also fan-made, I think it’s really well made, just like the “Lucky Haruhi” video. Anyway, looking at the video, looks like their models is based on the Nendoroid Series by Good Smile Company. The most notable one is Hatsune Miku, which going to be released in March 2008.
You can view the video below:
Oh, and watch the ending!! Cute-overload~ ( ^ . ^ )/
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day!! ( ^ _ ^ )/
Looks like the next “Revoltech” figure to be planned for release would be Hatsune Miku.
You can view more pictures of it here at Akiba Blog
Looks like they made it based on Revoltech Tosaka Rin figure. I can’t really read Japanese, so I might be wrong ^^; Anyway, it looks quite nice though. The outfit looks shiny ( ^ _ ^ )/
