The same cute Miku we’ve all come to love is wearing a dark blue yukata with beautiful flower prints scattered along it, creating a very refreshing version of Miku for the hot summer months! She comes with three expressions including her standard smiling expression, a shy expression with a slight blush and an exited expression with sparkling eyes. She also comes with a fan and a pouch that suit her yukata perfectly!

This Nendoroid will be available at the 39’s CARAVAN Hakkeijima Event Hall, and will be available for order online at the GSC Online Shop!

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Yukata Style version’s 2nd Expression is Revealed

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Yukata Style version

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Yukata Style version

Personally, I think that Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Yukata Style version is one of the most interesting Nendoroid in the Summer WonFes 2012 – especially for Miku fans. She was firstly teased by Mikatan on her pre-WonFes post, and then fully revealed at the event itself.

Well, now another shot of the cute Nendoroid has surfaced. It looks like the embarrassed face and a fan will be accompanying this version of Miku. Lovely! ^^

Anyway, according to the product sign at WonFes, September is the pre-release date for 39’s CARAVAN Miku event at Hakkeijima between September 15-17, 2012. I have no idea about what they meant by pre-release date, but I assume that the Nendoroid will be released in same fashion as WonFes-exclusive product: on-the-spot event sales and web pre-order sales.

What do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Amidst the busy and fully-packed WonFes, GSC has silently posted a pair of Nendoroid who are going to be re-released as a part of their 10th anniversary celebration.

The first one is Nendoroid Hachune Miku, which was originally released at Summer WonFes 2008 – that’s four years ago! XD

Anyway, here is the official description:

The leek swinging Hachune Miku is back again!

An extra expression based off the emoticon: “”ヽ(*゜д゜)ノ””, is also included, which fans are sure to enjoy. Combine the parts from this version and the original version to get the widest range of poses possible for your Nendoroid Kurisu!

The web pre-order version of Nendoroid Snow Miku: Fluffy Coat version was postponed to a undetermined timeframe previously, but thankfully, GSC has posted a little update about it.

Well, the Nendoroid is now re-scheduled to late August 2012 release. An arguably vague timeframe indeed, but they promised to keep the customer informed when their Snow Miku is ready to ship.

While you are waiting, let me give you a mix-match idea: XD
