Hatsune Miku’s latest figure incarnation looks set to become another classic, being both charming and possessed of some subtle erotic elements…
The figure itself is a 1/7 scale PVC depiction of Hatsune Miku, based on the standard Kei design. Release is due in November.
One of the unusual aspects of this figure is the use of “clear” parts – visible with the hair, arms and skirt, though perhaps difficult to discern with only photographs.
Compared to some of the other depictions we have seen, this one is perhaps rather more fleshy, with some particular care evident in her zettai ryouiki area and chest. No pantsu shots are evident, but the smart bet seems to be on shimapan…
Max Factory’s Hatsune Miku is available for international pre-order now.

Yet another Miku figure. Getting a little tired of her..
Then there is something wrong with you!
But it would be nice to see some Megurine Luka figures...
It would be nice to see a Luka figure.
It's odd that Miku still remains ever popular even when her voice sounds very nasal and artificial compared to the newer Vocaloids.
Gakupo on the other hand, sounds great. Very natural and yet his popularity is LOW.
The clear parts might turn out a bit odd in the real figure... Like that Shana one.
I never get tired of Miku, but i'd like to see more figures from other Vocaloids... Even fan-made ones are cool (Neru & Haku, anyone?)
yup i would vote for haku!!
she is my favorite one that shy drunkness of hers!! *drools*
Maybe a dakimakura of her would be more fun!!
Oh i am etting over myself!!
sold out yet?
"Gakupo on the other hand, sounds great. Very natural and yet his popularity is LOW."
Sorry Cocoa but you should get your ears checked. Gakupod sounds horrible, and that is why his popularity is low. He sounds nothing like the original singer. and since Gakupod is not even a real vocaloid you can't make figures of him. I would love a haku figure BTW!
No, I believe that the slight flaw in her voice makes it more attracting for some. Like seeing a artificial struggle to achieve it's goal of sounding real, but not getting there. Once artificial voice programs reach "perfection" let's say, then I think it's going to grow old real fast after a burst of popularity, because there is no difference between the real and the computer voice, therefore making it very difficult, or maybe impossible to distinguish them, which will result maybe drop in the popularity as, well, you hear "real" voices almost everyday everywhere.
The Figma version is FTW ^_^
Do we at least have TakoLuka plushies? Delicious tentacles can be yours!
there are other characters that got more then 100+ figures of each of them. So for Hatsune Miku is not that much.
*Slaps Anonymous*
Gtfo!
Hatsune Miku is the Light of Truth!
I don't have money!
Then there is something wrong with you!
But it would be nice to see some Megurine Luka figures…
Poor Lens...
Somehow, coming from you, this is...
Lol, coming from Ichiro! You got served!
Super ugly face, do NOT want!
It's from the original vocaloid design
If it's the original design, shouldn't she be much more pale/albino?
The face doesn't look right. It looks as though the microphone is denting in part of her jawbone, and her lips and mouth look "wrong" -- not true to the Kio model (which presumably it was based on).
I think her vest is too dark -- the 2-D illustrations I liked showed it as being a light charcoal grey.
And, I think they made her clothes and leggings too shiny/reflective/"wet-looking".
The clothes are supposed to look like that, face and body look remodelled to be more 'meaty' (DAT ASS on this figurine, does it come with the skirt cast-off option like the Goodsmile model?).
I sense something is not right at her face but i don't know what is it.... I feel Hatsune miku figure from SEGA looks better than this one. (Yet GoodSmile is still the best)
Miku for the world, an yes you gotta be mad xD
Sublime
Got my pre-order in the other day. Can't wait to see her! ^_^
Give your local weaboo shop more money and enjoy overpaying for these preorders, ahaha.
*sigh**
Jeez! Another one!
As good as she would look sitting next to my monitor, US$95 is too pricey for me.
Also seems to soon to buy another figure(even with a November release, I still think it would be here sooner than my Waitress Mikuru Figma...)
Who in their right mind pays for dolls other then parents to little girl.
Its a lion! Get in the caaaaaar! >:3
Dolls?! Good sir, may I remind you dolls can be played with!
These merely sit upon your desk and project their warmth upon all who grace their presence!
I will have to agree with Herr Soldat Schürzenjaeger...
This particular figure (as well any figure) are always a welcomed presence to a desk, mantel, or shelf.
Particularity if you have a (love) for that specific character..
There's nothing like having a common thread to greet you, when you return home to relax (after) one has had a fucked up day to contend with.
Then there is something wrong with you!
But it would be nice to see some Megurine Luka figures...
@Anonymouse (yes, its intentional)
Apparently you *failed* to read my other reply posting:

"Then there is something wrong with you!"
For what? Having a hobby? as in collecting?
How does that make it seem as if I have something wrong with me?

Apparently... you (seem) to collect figures as well...
So, I ask...
"What's wrong with you"?
"Then there is something wrong with you!

then an anon copies his comment.
lol someone is getting touchy
stop feeding the trolls hurrrrrrrr
The figure is not shabby, though I don't really follow this series character, the eyes are REALLY cool...
November release?
Hmm, maybe a B-Day gift for me... I will consider it as a possibility.
I feel like I've seen this figure before, but better looking...
My nendoroid miku is enough for me.
But it would be nice to have a Luka nendoroid. Maybe that tako-luka figma, if it wasn't fake...
very ugly face and bad hair...
Then there is something wrong with you!
But it would be nice to see some Megurine Luka figures…
Sorry, everyone's parodying Artefact now.
But seriously, that girl's hair looks like jizz. Her hair is too glossy, looks like those jolly rancher hard candies. Her eyes look dead. I just ordered the GSC version a while ago, and in my opinion, she looks a lot nicer.
I agree...
The 1/8 scale figure is much better.
Personally I think this is the best Miku figure out there. I really like this design...also, pantyshots needed
I concur. I have fallen in love with Miku all over again.
The face seems awkward. But the body is perfectly molded.
not as fine detailed as GSC, but cheaper =)
If you're talking about GSC's 1/8, this isn't cheaper at all. GSC's is 5000yen, this one is 8000.
OMG, DO WANT DO WANT DO WANT DO WANT DO WANT DO WANT!!!!!!!!
PLEASE, SOMEBODY BUY THIS FIGURE FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! =D
I would, but you didn't get me anything last year, so it's payback time!
Lol, who the fuck are you!!!!?
You got to admit...
He got you there. Ha! I haven't heard that one before. =]
Still prefer world is mine ver.
horrible, crap, loli character design.
and a crap game to boot
good job japan
LOL
MIKU HATSUNE FTW!!!!
I love the T&A on this one...
...but the lips/cheeks are unappealing.
Pass.
Exactly which cheeks and lips do you speak of?
Very well done I like this one
Wow wat an ass, I really like the face and sculpt but the hair looks like jizz.
Superb! I like it.
ohhh °O° that figure is the best, I want order now
I would've bought this if it was 1/6 sure, 1/7 is a weird scale and I already have the Goodsmile 1/8 version, there's not enough difference. Though the detailing does look superior so I recon it'll cost a kidney when it's released.
If you haven't already got a miku figurine get this one I'd say.
insta-classic. DO WANT!
I don't like the face that much... But the body is simply fantastic!
I know it's based off of some of the original art... but the face just looks so awkward on a figure with such a beautiful body, including wonderfully done clothing folds and contours. I think that if they put a different face on the character and added a few more strands of hair it would be perfect. The current face might look a little better on a more simple figure.
Also, as Artefact said, it would be nice to see more Megurine Luka figures or figures of other characters. I personally would be more than happy to shell out for an 'Aku no' series of figurines, especially if Neru, Haku, Luka, and Gakupo figures came out with it! Heck, even just a figure with both Len and Rin in opposite outfits as according to some artistic depictions would make me very happy.
I think I just went off subject somewhere up there...
Do want.
I like Kei's artwork, but for some reason I'm not wowed over by this 3D interpretation. The grey in her outfit is a bit darker and more shiny, but that can be overlooked, I suppose. It's just...something just seems a little bit off about her.. is it her face? Perhaps the pupils aren't dark enough. (they seem much closer to black in the original artwork.)
Ah, well. The detail is impressive, regardless. I'm sure avid Miku fans will love it.
I missed the 1/8 Miku PVC from GSC, maybe this could work... I need to see real user-taken photos though. "Clear parts"? Can't really see it, only noticed the hair is a bit shiny.
WHERE'S HAKU?
dat ass
why is it that Max Factory keeps raping my wallet? DX
now i want to pre-order this one =3
I'll pass, already got the Sega arcade prize of this pose... can't wait for the Black Rock Shooter and World is Mine figures though!
I'M GETTING THIS!
November?
huh? I just saw this at AX a few days ago....
Nevermind...I confused a different one...by GoodSmileCompany..
The face and the hair a fffffffffffugly.
