For the past few days, a range of Miku and Vocaloid items has been popping up everywhere. Whether your a Miku and a Vocaloid lover or not, it’s hard look away without wanting to find just a bit more info about them. Sometimes, curiosity gets the better of us and maybe the price itself is enough to warranty a buy. At times, to understand an item, you need to buy it. :P
Here are just a low down of items I thought interested me and might interest you.

1/8 Miku Hatsune VN02 mix PVC by Max Factory
Do you remember the last time Max Factory announced their last scaled figure? Clearly I don’t and considering they roll out new figmas ever month, it’s hard to keep track anymore but when people say Max Factory lost their touch in scale figures, I know they are wrong and this proves it.
I’m sure most of you remember this figure from the last Wonfes. It was one of the most talked about figures and now it has been announced, ready for preorder. Looking at the images, there is nothing more to say than a piece of elegant beauty. The scuplt, the details and the pose is just perfect and it’s just WOW blowing in nearly anyone eyes. I say ‘nearly’ because that’s not the case for me despite being a Miku fanboy myself. While I still stay true to what I said from the above, this is the Miku I don’t know and the green colour is turning me off. In addition, the price tag of 12,190yen doesn’t look ‘wallet friendly’ as well for a 1/8 scale but I know the details justify that price.
Overall, while it’s not for me, it’s could be for you so put your preorders in before it’s too late. Preorders can be made at:
Nendoroid Petite: Vocaloid #01
Missed out on the first release and found out the 2nd release of preorders has stopped from your favourite online store?
I can understand how you feel as I’ve been through it myself but there are places I managed to source out when preorders are still being taken for their 2nd release so don’t miss your last chance.
Each and every one of them are a real beauty and I’m looking forward in getting my set very soon. (Dam postman >_>)
Hatsune Miku Orchestra HMO `RDN` T-Shirt
Miku t-shirts are a MUST HAVE for all miku fanboys and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed in whichever one you get. The 2 which caught my eyes is the one mentioned above and below. If you asked me which one I like, honestly I can’t decided but since I’m not a money making machine and if I was to get one, I would choose the Hatsune Miku Orchestra HMO `RBMM` because of it’s design.
Retailing at 2,900yen, grab yours now at:

Nendoroid Plus: Vocaloid Pull-back Cars
Last by not least, these little Vocaloid Pull-back Cars by Freeing. As a set of 4, retailing at 1,410yen each, they go well in any collection and for anyone who wants a bit fun with Miku and the gang. Pull-back Cars brings back a lot of memories of my childhood. I recall having a few from the Happy Meal Days back in NZ and they were very fun.
Since I use to get them free, justifying a price to get one doesn’t seem all that worth it. Even though it’s cheap, I doubt I will have the same fun I will have now than before.
Place your preorders in now if Pull-back Cars are what your after. There is a Miku, Rin, Ren and Luka to choose from but you can never be totally satisfied without the whole set. ;)
Preorders can be made at:
This wraps up the Miku and Vocaloid goodies segment.
Anything tickle your fancy?

Not getting VN02 as well, for the same reasons as you. Can’t deny that she is a real nice figurine, but she isn’t Miku. D=
I just got my vocaloid puchi yesterday and enjoy playing with them! Who can resist their kawaii-ness and chibi-ness?
The pull-back cars… I am struggling. If i get them, i will get a set. However, my wallet is under stress as i need to save moolah for my study trip at China. T^T

I already have a Black Hatsune Miku – Project DIVA – Miku T-shirt… and I like the Miku Hatsune orchestra HMO “RDN” T-shirt. I feel I won’t be strong enough to resist >_<
By the way I also preordered the trading straps (there would be so many products in your list o.O):

That green Miku is really beautiful. That base and that sprinting forward pose is just so energetic and interesting. Her face and the details are amazing too. Plus she’s green. Really looking forward to getting her.

The price tag on VN02 makes me cringe.

The 1/8 Miku Hatsune VN02 is on my wishlist. For some reason, my tastes in figures are now leaning towards a more realistic look.

@Saku
Nice but not fantastic for me to GET!!!. Too pricey as well. :(
@Persocom
They are gonna be lots of fun indeed for ur son. Better get one for urself to join in the fun. xD
@Chappy
Wow, a study trip to China. That will be awesome. ^^
Will it be in Beijing by any chance?
I’m still waiting for my vocaloid puchi set to arrive. It’s taking forever now and I’m starting to get worried. I might not receive it before christmas which will sux. :(
@jintoo
Welcome jintoo. I hope ur liking in what ur seeing here so far.
I’m still tempted in the shirts but with pressies and other goodies coming in this month, I’m just pushing my budget into oblivion.
Thankfully, I’m happy to pass on other related Miku goodies. lol
@Pudding
I can see ur not a Miku fanboy but a Vocaloid fanboy instead. the good side is, she won’t be out anytime soon until mid next year so u have plenty of time to save up unless…. other related stuff gets in the way. lol
@meronpan
I had never doubted u in missing her out. Looking at ur orders, I kinda feel u given up on figmas and nendos. Is that true or will there be a time where u will pick them up again?
@Yi
Oh, ur getting her as well. I didn’t expect that. I suppose many will grab for the sere beauty and amazing detail. Really it’s a piece of 3D art. ^^
@Reltair
The thing why I said pass. lol
@bluedrakon
Many people change from time to time so it’s normal. So does that mean u have Yoko Real ver. coming ur way? xD

figmas i think i may give up on for now… i just seem to have terrible luck with them breaking in my clumsy hands ^^;; nendoroids i don’t have that problem but for now the financial cut backs still apply… but that’s not to say one or two might not slip in :P

@meronpan
I read u broke another one so that’s understandable.
I don’t know about u, but after breaking 3, I still love them very much to the point I want more. lol
