Note: I will be using the word “snow” and “yuki” a lot for this review. ^^

To celebrate the recently-released Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Playtime Edition, I have written a special review of the original Nendoroid Snow Miku. Actually, Nendoroid Snow Miku was released to commemorate the Snow Miku sculpture on last year’s 61st Sapporo Snow Festival – yes, in similar fashion as the upcoming Snow Playtime Edition. ^^

Well then, without further ado, let’s dig into the full review after the break. ^^

DIY Nendoroid Hatsune Miku Using Ice Tray by Mikatan

So you have not made up your mind to pre-order Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Playtime Edition? Well, now you have another reason to consider pre-ordering her, thanks to Mikatan who has just posted her experiment result of making Nendoroid Hatsune Miku with the bundled ice tray. Apparently, it does not play well with normal water (ice) as we could not see Miku’s shape clearly that way. However, experimenting with other ingredients such as coffee jelly and chocolate turned out to have a better result. See Mikatan’s blog post for more details and pics. ^^

So … have you made up your mind, Nendonesian? ^^

In order to celebrate MikuPa – Hatsune Miku Live Party (concert) which will be held on March 9, 2011, GSC is going to release Nendoroid Plus Hatsune Miku: Spring Version (or also known as Sakura Miku). This cute little spring fairy is only 35mm tall and can be used as a charm. According to the official page, it looks like she would be given away as concert attendants prize.

In any case, for us who live outside Japan, our best bet to get her is try browsing for her on Yahoo Auction Japan … or eBay. ( ╥ ﹏╥)

I know, we are still struggling to find a channel to pre-order this adorable snow fairy … and to put it even worse, Mikatan has just posted a preview article of this highly-anticipated Nendoroid Snow Miku: Snow Playtime Edition. Apparently, the Hachune-face snowman is a Petit, so its parts are interchangable with other Petits as well. Visit Mikatan’s blog and prepare yourself for an overload of super-moe gallery. ヽ(´▽`)/

Are you aiming for this adorable Snow Miku, Nendonesian? ^^

What Happened to This Version of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku HMO?

Prototype of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku HMO?

Prototype of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku HMO?

Note: Feel free to skip this post, as it is simply a flashback-post which crossed my mind just now. ^^

I remembered back then, when these pics of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku (HMO/Pawlab Studio Edition) leaked just a few days prior to Summer WonFes 2010. Is this one a fan-made Nendoroid or merely a prototype to the upcoming Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition? Personally, I see that cute Miku-chan really deserves to be an original release, thus I secretly hope to see her making an appearance in the upcoming Winter Wonfes 2011.

What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^
