Why is it holding a leek? For that matter, why does Miku hold a leek? Whatever the answer to these important questions, this is a great looking figure, as expected of a figure a year in development; apparently it also has a lot of die cast parts, hence the metallic finish. Not cheap either.
There seem to be a lot of these being released considering how long ago Stand Alone Complex finished… how long till the first robotic version, I wonder?
More shots at Akiba Hobby.
Incidentally, the leek is sold separately…
About Miku holding leek, it actually start from this video posted : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG_kz6Sp500 , which in turn, originated from this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVTQaA2kV3w
Sorry about that - links tripped a moderation alert. Will fix.
I heard about the how the meme originated (not the spinner bit), but I hadn’t bothered to watch until now - I can see why it caught on! It still doesn’t answer the “why” though, only the how?
“Why” eh? Maybe to follow what Orihime do(in the 2nd link i post)?
But why does she have a leek? I take it that it is random strangeness that is the reason for that part being used?
IIRC she was talking about another strange dish she was going to make that evening, and it involved leeks.
