Ha ha, in the last image I saw I thought Miku's violin was more of a traditional, wood design, but at least in the version this figure is based off of, it's not. Of course it's more of a futuristic/techno/semi-translucent thing--it's her after all. I'm not sure exactly why, but that gives me a wry smile :). Probably because it's such a stereotypically "classic" classical music instrument. But having her 01 on there is just cool.
Goodsmile company has posted information on some figure delays;
Release Changes for December 2018 Products and Delay Apology
Namely the Hatsune Miku 10th Anniversary figure that was supposed to release this month has been delayed to next May.
Also the rerelease of Miku Love is War DX Ver. has been delayed to January.

I know i'm going to get a little grief for posting this here but...
Why is this a big deal? The parent company of VSinger is basically opening a shop like For Fans By Fans with China's equivalent of Amazon. It's a really huge deal that will expand how much VSinger merch will be put out there and will help provide creators with new sources of revenue.

Sega's Hatsune Miku Dark Angel ver. plushie and figure will be available as arcade prizes this month:

Ditto! I wonder what the quality of the headphones is? I don't see anywhere where it actually says who makes them.
Kinda rough that you can only get these from a Taito vending machine (which I assume is Japan-exclusive?), but you might be able to get them through a forwarding service, on eBay, or something.
(Ha ha, forwarding services have to include the cost of the item when giving you a price, so what would it be for this one? "We had to put in 50 yen pieces before we got the claw to pull the headphones, so...your cost is shipping +50 yen pieces?")
I'm gonna keep my eyes open for the "01" headphones too, I think they look pretty cool.
Since they're crane game (or some other prize game) prizes, they're probably produced with a low price. I wouldn't expect superior quality, but probably they're decent for their "price" (I'd guess the average crane game player spends about 1000-1500 yen before getting a prize. It's impossible to say how much the game centers pay for these.
Having said that, I bought 500yen headphones from Japan in 2010 and they worked well for 6.5 years, and the sound quality was actually pretty good, then the left speaker started cutting out. So these Miku headphones might not be too bad.
The headphones will most likely become available second-hand on amazon, ebay etc.
Taito miku products sometimes go on second hand stores online if you look around
I'm not exactly an audiophile and I don't expect the headphones to have the sound quality of a high end product (my current heaphones are Skullcandy ones that have managed to survive near-daily wear and tear), but at the same time I don't like audio equipment where the output sounds like it's being played from inside a tin can. :P Maybe I should wait for reviews?
Latest additions to Sega's Snow Miku plushie series, 2018 and 2019 versions. Both are hitting the arcades in Japan in February.
