Even otaku are shocked that Hatsune Miku’s legion of admirers has some how managed to bid up the price of an unofficially created Miku bride figure to ¥389,000 – their astonishment in large part stemming from the fact that the figure was created simply by swapping the heads of two stock figures…
The originals (¥8,650 for the Sega/Tony Miku head, and ¥7,980 for the wedding dress Tamanee’s body):
Online there is the usual disbelief and some spirited bashing of Miku fans:
“Easy money!”
“With breasts that size she’s not Miku!”
“I’ll not bother criticising this, instead I’ll just jump aboard the bandwagon and make one myself…”
“What happened to Tamanee’s head…”
“It says it was repainted but it doesn’t look it. Seems amateurish.”
“I’d like to give this a try. I have a Godzilla figure, how much could I get for that if I stuck Miku’s head on it?”
“What do you expect from otaku…”
“There used to be some great mods, but these are just rude to the sculptors.”
“Mikuota are so dumb…”
“10,000 for the figure and 380,000 for the painting. Seems reasonable.”
“You’d pay ¥390,000 for this, wouldn’t you?”
“For this, ¥100,000 seems fine by me!”
That bride Miku is a gold mine appears to have become quite well known to figure modders – witness the nearly identical performance of a previous iteration.

Oh yahoo japan, will you never learn.. I honestly wonder if any of their auctions get real bids sometimes...
They do this on ebay too...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/japanese-anime-akiba-figure-Vocaloid-HATSUNE-MIKU-sexydevil-version-/270868100239?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f10ff348f [http://www.ebay.com/itm/japanese-anime-akiba-figure-Vocaloid-HATSUNE-MIKU-sexydevil-version-/270868100239?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f10ff348f]
Huh? Yahoo Japan is pretty damn notorious for having users bid MILLIONS on stuff like this and girls virginities to use random examples.
They're always fake bids and never held responsible, heh..
Sees the Bride Miku figure: Mmmm... Ah.. Meh.
Sees the topless Maid Mikoto figure: I~ WANT~ ONE~!
me too man
I wouldn't have come here if I didn't click on the thumbnail of the Mikoto figure.
Second that actually. Initially I thought it was Miku though.
Mikoto is just fine too though.
Maaann I like to see what Dirty cowboy woody would do something with that Mikoto nude figure.
Woody needs to teach them a lesson about how to be a real doll
This would be 10x better with Mami's head.
You can take off the head entirely and pretend it's Mami.
With that body, she will surely be his new "favorite deputy"...
"There's a snake in my... hey, that's not my boot!"
Didn't you put this "news" up before?
Hey i just stuck a Miku's head on an Optimus Prime body!...
...oh crap it just fell off!
Hey i just stuck a Miku's head on a Mami body!...
...oh crap it just fell off.
She looks lovely, but I'll keep my money thx.
Lol forget the Miku, watup Misaka.
It be cheaper to hire a sculptor to make one from scratch wouldn't it?
fucking misaka figure! (literaly)
That Misaka Figure... I came.
Obviously Miku is wearing a strapless push up bra for the occasion.
I used to be an avid collector of all things Miku, then i took an arrow to the knee.
If they ever made an official Bride Miku Figure you can bet it'll go for higher than this.
Who knows, maybe a bunch of dumbass nuclear bidders just collided with each other. I guess only whether or not the actual sale goes through will tell.
If you want to see some other mods here is a good site: http://www.geocities.jp/lcsfactory/top.index.html
Anyway I should have placed a bid when they auctioned a nude Haruka Morishima last october...Yahoo auction is the only place where you can get nudes of your favorite figure...
Wait is that naked arpon Misaka Mikoto figurine custom made?
I want that Misaka Figure ^^
What separates the otaku from the boys is the price of their toys...
because otaku are no-life losers.
yet your on this site wasting time TROLLING
same goes for you (and me too)
im more interested in which figures were used for the misaka figure. anyone?
Sticking Miku's head on Tama-nee's body is quite unoriginal, but I ADORE what they did to her hair.
want maid misaka
And you won't have to give her money for shopping.
Holy fuck i want to mod my maid mikoto fig to that one ...
Looks more like Sona than Miku to me.
Might need a harp for that :O
BUT SHES MAI ONE AND ONLY WAIFU NO ONE ELSES T_T
Heh, I actually bid on the Railgun figure before it hit the high end range.

You can find other mods of that figure, but that is easily the best one I've seen of it.
Wow, I have never been a fan of Mikoto before but that figure? Hot Damn!
I would actually keep both figures than fuse them, besides Tamanee is already my waif.
SO YOU DO EXIST.
Yep. And I also collect dakimakura covers. >_>
Miku Mogu-Mogu?
~ “I’ll not bother criticising this, instead I’ll just jump aboard the bandwagon and make one myself…”
Oh. My. God. That Mikoto is cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute.
There is one born every minute.
Do want that Mikoto figure. Source anyone?
