Nendoroid Hatsune Miku Absolute HMO Edition

Another nightmare for December Nendoroid release, Nendoroid Hatsune Miku Absolute HMO Edition from Hatsune Miku Orchestra attended a photo session. Yep, Mikatan has just posted some photos of this adorable Miku and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. Aside from her super-movable-joints, she will also pack plenty of accessories: leeks (obviously), cable hairsets, glasses, keyboard, drumset, and even face stickers + a recorder for Nendoroid Rin and Len!! This is definitely a must-get Nendoroid for me. ^^

Pricing and pre-order information will be revealed on Tuesday, August 31. Meanwhile, enjoy the photos after the break.

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku (Paw Lab version)

Can’t have enough Vocaloid yet? Look! It’s another brand new version of Miku! Exhibited for the first time at Summer WonFes 2010, the Nendoroid Hatsune Miku (Paw Lab version) has finally received an official release date: December 2010. According to the Hobby Japan magazine scan above, it looks like she will come with a plenty set of accessories and … some super movable joints like Petit Hachune Miku!? I guess this Miku will be bundled with a music CD, thus she will be a limited release. No further info regarding the retail price though. ^^;

Anyway, here’s some shots on Nendoroid Noumi Kudryavka from Kud Wafter/Little Busters, which will be released as a limited COMPTIQ bundle on April 2011 with a price of 4200 Yen. Apparently, she will also bring along a dog (is it her pet?). ^^

UPDATE: Nendoroid Noumi Kudryavka (Summer version) can be ordered exclusively through:

October issue of Comptiq magazine – which will be published on September 10, 2010
October issue of CompAce magazine – which will be published on August 26, 2010 (that’s today!)
November issue of CompAce magazine – which will be published on September 25, 2010

Black★Puchi Miku, originally uploaded by animaster.

Whoa … Miku joins Black★Team!? … or not. She simply mimics what she has just seen on Black★Rock Shooter OVA. ^^;

The idea came up after I watched the OVA and comparing B★RS with her Nendoroid form – which has not been released yet. IMO the blue flame on her left eye is supposed to be “transparent” as seen on the OVA, isn’t it? ^^

Unlike most model kits (Gundam, Macross, etc.) which are already fully manufactured by machine, Nendoroids still have “human touches” despite being mass-produced in the factory. OK, let’s dig further on some famous Nendoroid sculptors.

Miku HMO-Pawlab version

Well, this one has not been confirmed officially – we have a couple of unconfirmed stuff recently ^^. If 2chan netizen is to be believed, then GSC will release a new version of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku courtesy of HMO and Studio Pawlab. I bet this new Miku will be released as limited product – and possibly a bundled one. Let’s wait for further details from GSC. ^^
