As promised, Goodsmile’s lottery website is now open, featuring their first campaign dubbed as GSC Lottery: Hatsune Miku 2012 Winter version. We have already known about these previously, but it will not hurt to take another look at the official pics and announcement, right? XD
Yep, it seems that the rumor is true after all: the 30cm-tall Nendoroid Jumbo Miku and Santa Miku will be available as Goodsmile’s Christmas Lottery event Prize A and B, respectively.
Interestingly, the other lottery prizes have also been revealed. See them all after the break – and prepare your wallet. XD
Well, what do we have here? It seems that the giant version of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku (a.k.a Jumbo Miku) has already gone into production process in GSC’s China factory. The photo was posted in a blog that is run by some of GSC’s new staff.
A rather shocking announcement was made by GSC earlier today, stating that SEGA x GSC x Crypton will be holding an event in GSC x Karaoke no Tetsujin Cafe in Akihabara, scheduled for November 22nd at 20:00 (JST). The event itself is obviously related to Hatsune Miku, so it is conveniently dubbed as “Hatsune Miku’s Time”.
What is it all about!?
One of the creepiest cutest weirdest Nendoroid ever: Nendoroid Mikudayo-, is available for pre-order starting today.
It may not be the real Miku, but she certainly has her own charm!
From ‘Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku’ comes a Nendoroid of the conspicuous character based on Hatsune Miku, Mikudayo-! Her flappy twin-tails that became popular at events have been faithfully recreated in Nendoroid size, and even move about in the same way as the original costume!She also comes with optional parts, including some pop candy as a special collaboration extra between Mikudayo- and Fujiya! Enjoy posing Mikudayo- in her most famous poses, or come up with your very own original poses for her!
Yep, it seems that the ‘secret stuff’ mentioned by Mikatan on her preview is … a pop candy. XD
Nendoroid Mikudayo- is scheduled for March 2013, priced at 3000 Yen.
Anyway, this Nendoroid will also be available at the GOOD SMILE ONLINE SHOP. Orders can be placed between the 5th November 2012 (Mon) from 15:00 until the 5th December 2012 (Wed) at 21:00.

The arguably popular creepy scary weird version of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku, also known as Nendoroid Miku Dayo, is getting a preview by Mikatan. Yep, it means that she will be available for pre-order shortly. Wew … ヽ(*ﾟдﾟ)ノ
What or who is Miku Dayo, do you ask? Well, here is a quick summary by Mikatan:
(1) Sega made the ‘Project mirai’ game, featuring Nendoroid Vocaloids!
(2) A life-size Nendoroid Miku costume was made to promote the game!
(3) Everyone felt the costume didn’t quite feel like the real Miku!
(4) The costume Miku became her own character, Miku Dayo!
(5) Miku Dayo is made into a Nendoroid, completing the cycle!
That’s right, Miku Dayo is actually a life-size costume based on Nendoroid Hatsune Miku, but the misdesigned face and chubby proportion makes it so weird that it doesn’t quite feel like Miku at all. And now GSC reproduced it in real Nendoroid form, for the better … or worse. ヽ(*ﾟдﾟ)ノ
Apparently, the chubby Miku will come with ball joints in her shoulders for a wider variety of arm poses compared to normal Nendoroid. She will also bring along some optional parts, which is unfortunately not revealed yet by Mikatan.
In any case, I think this Nendoroid is one of the worst Nendoroid I have ever seen, but that’s just my personal opinion.
What about you, Nendonesian? Are there any of you Miku fans thinking of getting this Nendoroid? XD

Today’s Nendoroid custom delight is Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: ODDS&ENDS version, whose design is based on the single CD cover.
‘ODDS&ENDS’ is a song by ryo(supercell) feat. Hatsune Miku, which is also used as the opening theme of PS Vita game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA f.
Well then, here are a gallery of pics on the lovely customized Nendoroid.
GSC has just posted a new info regarding Hatsune Miku Christmas Piano Cake, otherwise known as Nendoroid Petite Hatsune Miku: Christmas Piano Cake version.
An angel to bring some extra Christmas Spirit to you this year!
A special piano-shaped chocolate cake with chocolate and raspberry cream sandwiched in the middle, and the piano keys are made from chocolate too! On top the cake stands a cute 65mm Nendoroid Petite figure of Miku wearing a choir outfit to really give an original feeling to this FamilyMart exclusive Christmas cake. Stock is limited, so if you want to grab one be sure to preorder at one of the 9100 FamilyMart stores across Japan!
The post also mentioned a few important stuff about this product:
One of our reader, Phen posted an interesting comment about this:
You need to physically go in to the store to pick it up on the 24th in Japan, so proxies won’t really help unless you have someone to go there and pick it up for you.
I think his argument is quite sensible, because the circumstances for this product is kind of … special. XD
Well, what do you think, Nendonesian?

Family Mart has just announced their product catalog for Winter 2012. Obviously, Nendoroid Petite Hatsune Miku: Christmas Piano Cake version is included in the catalog.
The cake + Petite set is now open for pre-order with 3900 Yen price tag, although it is only available for Japanese residents only. As usual, we need to rely on proxies (or friend who reside in Japan) to pre-order it, though I doubt we could eat the cake once it arrived on our desks. XD
So you decided to pre-order the cake anyway? Well, here is the pre-order form in PDF for you to print and fill-in – along with your proxy service of choice. ^^

If you are wondering about Nendoroid Petite Hatsune Miku: HMO version which popped up on last WonFes, well, it seems that we have got some new info about it.
The first release edition of upcoming CD Zoushokugimi X=MULTIPLIES, the second edition of highly anticipated HMO toka Naka no Hito by PAw Lab will be including the lovely Petite as a bonus. The product description from AmiAmi is written like this:
w/Nendoroid Petite HMO ver. + large display case
I have no idea about “large display case”, but I have a feeling that Mikatan is going to preview it soon, and we should be able to know more by then.
This CD bundle will be priced at 4200 Yen, scheduled for early December 5th release.
Anyway, needless to say, “first release edition” can also be read as “limited edition”, so you might want to monitor AmiAmi via the source page below to make sure that you don’t miss the pre-order. XD
That said, the product page mentioned that the CD bundle is currently out of sale, at the time of posting this article. T_T
Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^
