Hatsune Miku Musical Box

November 12, 2008

scan

A scan featuring a number of Vocaloid related products which are going to be released in the near future. Most of us have seen and known the news on the Good Smile Racing stickers and Nendoroid Kaito. So the part that interests me, of course, is the Hatsune Miku Musical Juke Box ^^

miku

I don’t know if we’ll get the chance to order those, but they are scheduled for December 2008 release by Sega. Looks like the one with Hatchune Miku will play the “Levan Polkka” tune. As for the normal Hatsune Miku, can’t really read the title. Maybe a Miku fan can help me identify it ^^;

Banpresto’s Kizaki Emi Preview

November 7, 2008

emi

A preview of the upcoming figure of “Kizaki Emi Swimsuit Ver.” from Kurogane no Linebarrels by Banpresto. Standing at 13cm, she’s scheduled for May 2009 release. Unfortunately, this will be listed as another Arcade Prize.

More at GA Graphic.

There’s good and bad news on this. The good news is that Hobby Search takes pre-order for these Arcade Prizes. The bad news is that most of the time they will not notify you guys that the items are up for pre-orders, unlike other PVCs. For example is the Hatsune Miku & Kagamine Twins Arcade Prize. In the end, I missed out on both of them because I didn’t know ( > _ < );

So you have to watch out for those if you’re planning to get one ( ^ _ ^ );
