Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Support version will be Sold at LA ANIME EXPO

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Support version

Well, you read the title – Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Support version will be put on sale at Mikunopolis 2011 booth at the Los Angeles ANIME EXPO. Although the official pricing has not been revealed yet, they did mention that for every sale of the figure, 1000 Yen will be donated to Japanese Red Cross to aid the relief efforts in Eastern Japan.

In a side note, I thought GSC mentioned that charity products will be a made-to-order basis, but now we are seeing Miku to be sold out of the web pre-orders. Inconsistency? Well, in any case, I hope GSC will expand the charity product sales outside their own web pre-order. ^^

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian?

(Thanks for the news tip, Otaku00! ^^)

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku - bootleg (left) and genuine (right)

By popular demand, we are going to start a new series of articles with the topic: Bootleg vs Genuine, where we will do a side-by-side comparison of bootleg and genuine version of a particular Nendoroid. ^^

For starter, we will compare bootleg and genuine version of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku., one of the most widespread bootleg Nendoroid. No, this is not the old/usual bootleg one in which you could easily recognize it simply by looking at her expression, as this pic show:

Genuine (left) vs bootleg/fake (right)

The one featured in this article is slightly different than the bootleg you see at the pic above. I guess it is a new bootleg variant of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku. (-_-“”)

Well then, let’s get into the comparison, shall we? ^^
