Vocaloid Merchandise News

Guess what day it is? Hump day wonfes day (well, night on this side of the globe). Starting things off, Hobby Dengeki got their hands on the Snow Miku figma.



The GoodSmile gallery is up ワンホビ29新作フィギュア展示フォトギャラリー. There's a ton of cryptonloid, erm... Miku, Rin and Len stuff in that gallery.






I'm sure anything I missed will be picked up by either VNN or Vocaloid Buy Blog.

Looking at all this makes my wallet hurt, Hell how much would it cost to get one and have it sent over to the US?

Goodsmile Company's scale figures usually have a price tag of 10 000 yen+ (Miku scales at least)
As an example, my Racing Miku 2017 was around 13 000 and shipping to Finland was 5000 yen (EMS) bringing the total to about 18 000 yen (around 160 USD). Though I believe shipping to the US is cheaper than that, and often SAL shipping is cheaper (but not insured like EMS).

Of course prize figures are cheap as dirt, especially second hand, but not as detailed. Many people like myself have started collecting prize figures and later moved on to scale figures too.

Looks like those life sized scale Yukari statues are coming back

Well that's not AS steep as I was expecting. Also I wish I could get those Yukari figures

I really like the noodle-stopper figure!

Not sure how common this is here, but if anyone's in the same position I am of never having gotten a chance to try instant ramen, basically it involves adding boiling water to a pre-packaged ramen cup (a cup full of dried, pre-fried noodles with a foil top). You have to peel back the foil to add the water, and push it back down once the water's in--the noodles then sit in the boiling water for a few minutes to cook, after which you re-open to eat. But steam being what it is, the foil has a tendency to pop back up sometimes, despite the included little foil tab. That's what the figure's supposed to do--hold the foil down while the boiling water is cooking the noodles.

Side note: Some people use figures like this to decorate the edges of furniture and things, too!

correct ^-^
and also, instant cup noodles from Nissin usually have a small piece of tape, which you can use to keep the top closed for the 3 minutes needed.
and in other cases, for example a cup ramen with spicy oil in a separate bag, you keep that spicy oil bag on the top, so its weight keep the top closed ^-^

Crocs Miku, Crocs Miku! Swimsuits aren't super exciting but they fit the release date of summer, hopefully there's a second wave with Meiko, Kaito and Len. Project Mirai's swimwear was more on the cute side~

Taito has announced two new Miku figures:
Birthday 2019 Ver.

Original Shifuku Ver.

As always the illustrations look adorable, they will release in August and September respectively!

I happened to stumble on this, and at least if I'm getting it right (it's all in Japanese), it's a pretty cool idea.

Amazon.co.jp

Released within the past week, this is apparently the newest entry in a series of books that at least briefly treat various school subjects (looks like world history, Japanese history, English, math,...). Accompanying each book is a CD, which includes a selection of Vocaloid songs that go along with the themes. I'm not positive if the songs were just selected, or if they were created to illustrate the topics; apparently, Mitchie M tweaked "Viva Happy," at least, to be illustrative of world history somehow. TBH, I don't recognize any of the other titles, and they seem very specifically appropriate to the topic, so I'm hazarding a guess that they were created just for the series.

These books might not be a substitute for actual textbooks, but I bet they would be a solid way to get an overview of the high points. If you like Vocaloid and/or the songs included (and can understand Japanese), your retention would probably be pretty excellent.

There's a Sakura Miku figure rise bust statue on the way

The Hatsune Miku Bandstores page (that sold/sells the Miku Expo Europe merch) has listed some new T-shirts up for preorder:

(Figured this'd be interesting for us European fans, and those in the UK especially).
