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

Yes, Nendoroid Lily from anim.o.v.e has been announced and available for pre-order starting today. So what’s missing? A preview by Mikatan, of course! XD
As usual, there are a few interesting tidbits mentioned by Mikatan there, including the removable headphones as well as her included expressions and other optional parts.
See it for yourself by visiting Mikatan’s blog. XD

The Nendoroid design for Nendoroid Lily from anim.o.v.e was initially displayed months ago. Fast-forward to today and she is finally announced and available for pre-order!
The Vocaloid who is rapidly gaining popularity – Lily!
Lily, the Vocaloid character who is becoming more and more popular by the day, is joining the Nendoroid series!She comes with optional parts including a microphone and speaker, which allow you to recreate the pose on the ‘VOCALOID2 Lily’ packaging! She also comes with a singing expression to pose her singing out loud, as well as an expression from ‘Harii’ the fan-made bee character based off Lily!
This cute and cool-looking Nendoroid will be manufactured by Phat Company, priced at 3500 Yen and scheduled for March 2013 release – I doubt they could release it in time though, considering their track record. XD
I am glad that GSC has finally shifted to make more Vocaloid character – especially non-Crypton characters – into Nendoroid, starting with Gakupo, GUMI, and now Lily from anim.o.v.e.
Needless to say, I am putting this Nendoroid into my wishlist. What about you, Nendonesian? What do you think about this Nendoroid? ^^
(Thanks for the news tip, Allgroasai and Jarvis Delgado!)

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. ^^

So you think Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Family Mart version is the last product of collaboration between Family Mart and Hatsune Miku (and GSC) ?
Well, apparently, the project continues with another new Nendoroid. This time, the resulting product is Nendoroid Petite Hatsune Miku: Christmas Piano Cake version.
Yes, as the product name suggests, it is actually a piano-shaped cake with Petite Hatsune Miku (wearing love goddess-like outfit) on top of the cake; slated for Christmas Eve release.
GSC and GSR announce a re-run of Nendoroid Racing Miku 2010 version and Nendoroid Racing Miku 2011 version today. Both of them come under new names too (and a few minor differences).
Sadly, Nendoroid Racing Miku 2010 Version Returns will include the decals only, but not the Nendoroid car. Apart from that, she is pretty much the same as the first release.
Nendoroid Racing Miku 2010 Ver. is back once again!
The special racing version of Hatsune Miku, ‘Racing Miku’ is coming back again in her 2010 version. Decals for a Nendoroid car with the colors used in the 2010 racing season are also included. (Note the car itself is not included, only the decals.)
She is scheduled for December release, and the pre-order will start from 20:00 on the 20th September (today) until 20:00 on the 9th October at NicoNico Chokuhan.
So you have been praying for a re-run on Nendoroid Racing Miku 2011 version? Well, it seems that your prayer has been answered: Good Smile Racing is going to have the lovely Racing diva returns with a new name: Nendoroid Racing Miku 2011 Version Returns.
Apparently, Miku will bring along an all-new championship trophy in this re-sale version. However, there are no other changes aside from the new name prefix and the trophy.
Nendoroid Racing Miku 2011 Ver. is back once again!
Your chance to grab the 2011 version of Racing Miku if you missed out before! The famous mascot character of the Hatsune Miku GT Project, ‘Racing Miku’, is back again as Nendoroid Racing Miku 2011 ver.!
