Racing-themed Megurine Luka

Racing-themed Megurine Luka

Yep, Vocaloid2‘s Megurine Luka was officially released on this day, three years ago. As a fan of her, I thought I should post a special greeting for Luka-san, just as I did last year. ^^

So … why am I using Racing-themed outfits there? Well, I simply want to celebrate her Racing Petit announcement as well as her birthday. XD

Nendoroid Petit Racing Vocaloid 2011 Set is Announced in Latest NicoNico Live Broadcast by GSC

Nendoroid Petit Racing Vocaloid 2011 set

Nendoroid Petit Racing Vocaloid 2011 set

Since 2009, Good Smile Company Racing has always produced a Racing-themed Nendoroid Hatsune Miku and a set of Nendoroid Petit Racing Vocaloid – consisting of Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, and Megurine Luka in racing-themed outfit. When they announced Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2011 version, I assumed that the Petit version would have followed shortly after. I was mistaken, as they did not announce anything at all regarding the Petit in 2011.

Well, it seems that GSR were waiting for the GT victory to announce the good news. Yep, Nendoroid Petit Racing Vocaloid 2011 Set was finally announced today yesterday, at GSC’s live NicoNico broadcast. The set consists of Nendoroid Petit Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, and Megurine Luka, all in their 2011 Racing outfit. The winning trophy, a bottle of champagne, and the Petit-sized Miku BMW are also included in the package, as well as second expression for Miku and the usual umbrella(s). I have no idea whether the podium stage will also be included or not, though. XD

More pics of other Nendoroid displayed at the broadcast can be seen after the break. ^^

Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version

Yep, as the title said, the adorable Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version is the first exclusive Nendoroid for the upcoming Winter WonFes. We have already posted a teaser of her a few weeks ago, but GSC decided to add a few more stuff to be included inside the pack: a Nendoroid Petit-sized snow sculpture of Hatsune Miku and a LED-equipped ice stage. Wow!

Dressed up for a night of fun in the snow!
As a commemoration product for the 63rd Sapporo Snow Festival, a special design for Snow Miku that was voted as the best design on the Piapro website has been made into a Nendoroid! She is wearing a lovely fluffy winter outfit which includes a ribbon with a beautiful jewel in the middle – a new, stylish design for Snow Miku!

She also comes with a mike stand that can also be turned into a shovel for a variety of different poses. A Nendoroid Petite sized snow sculpture of Miku made from clear plastic is also included, as well as an ice stage with LED lights which can light up the lovely sculpture for all to enjoy!

(The LED stage requires 3 AAA batteries to operate. Batteries are not included.)

Here is a photo of the container:
