Hatsune Miku -Project Diva- For PSP (Updated)
August 27, 2008Edit: Updated with a much more clearer scans from Famitsu magazine and more info of the game.
Looks like a new game based on the Vocaloid character Hatsune Miku is in the making for PSP. The title is called “Hatsune Miku -Project Diva-“ and scheduled next year for 2009 release by SEGA ^^;
(Right Click on Image, and choose “Open Image for higher resolutions)
From Gamekyo.com
From 2chan.
The game allows users to create their own Music, Music Videos, or 3D animations together with Miku ^^
Why do I have the feeling that the reason why Figma Hatsune Miku release was not announced could be because of this. Bundled together with the game?
Well I will most likely be wrong anyway, since Figma Hatsune Miku is not listed as SP or EX product~ ( ^ _ ^ );

Figma Misao
August 26, 2008More of those Custom made Figmas. I guess the trend is increasing ^^
This time it’s Kusakabe Misao from Lucky Star, by using Figma Konata Winter School Uniform Ver. as base model.
Although it’s not a really “smooth” final product, still, I think it’s a good attempt~ ( ^ _ ^ )/
