No real, self-respecting person would wear a dress like that. Ug. So tacky.

....i'd wear it....

I don't think it's suited for someone of Miku's age, so I don't like it on her....but if you're an adult and you aren't afraid of dressing a little risque I think it's cute

 

[hamano]

But I will say, I don't care for the argument that "X character is not human, so is technically not a minor, don't worry about it". That may not be exactly what you're getting at, but in general we shouldn't act like fiction can't impact reality. Displaying fictional minors in inappropriate mannerisms subtly lends towards normalizing displaying real minors in similar ways. Yeah fiction =/= reality, but it's a slippery slope imo. Again, not saying that's what you're s

Well, that's the same argument as "violent films turn people into murderers". The thing is that you can't apply things like age that apply to real people, to drawings/fiction/CG content/ whatever. That's how I see it. You have the right to your opinion though, I respect that, but to me the argument of a non-human being a minor or an adult doesn't make sense (only does so inside a story like a novel, manga etc.).

When it comes to Miku, I don't consider her to have an age. The canon age of 16 doesn't apply to the real world in my mind (does the age of Vocaloids even correspond with human age?), but she's ageless in my mind, I don't really know how to explain.

But yeah, this isn't the place for a discussion like this. Maybe we call it ends

I just find it amusing that some people thought that Miku would look cute/cool if she wore a heart shaped hemorrhoid donut.

heart shaped hemorrhoid donut

That would make an excellent name for a band.

Moving on, I LOVE that Racing Miku Thai Ouen figure! She looks like she's having so much fun.

That Racing 2020 scale figure is so cute! Loving the mechanic look.

^The group art is the same used for the
mousepad + mouse prize set last summer
(I've also seen the KEI art before, but my brain is failing me and I'm not sure where it's from)

Anyway, Miku puzzles:

And the new Sakura Miku 2020 prize figure announced earlier has now made it to painted prototype stage:
She looks so great!

Coming to arcades this month. This Sakura Miku, like so many other Taito figures, will have a limited variant (eyes closed smiling, pearl paint), that's exclusive to Taito online crane

Hatsune Miku: Yamashita Shunya ver. (announced earlier, now a prototype)

For anyone who's interested in the Kotobukiya "Hatsune Miku: Yamashita Shunya ver." figure, there was a video preview done on YouTube. No real new updates here, but you can see the figure from a number of angles:

Coronavirus causes delays:

The Miku Startalk translator's release date has been pushed back to May

GSC figures manufactured in China will suffer delays of 2-3 months or more
Seems Racing Miku 2017 Haregi ver. is an unlucky one, it's been delayed from last September, and supposed to come out in March, now it's probably delayed again
