So there you have it, the final product. It actually looks pretty moe. Soft smile, good eyes, what’s not to love?!
Of course there are tweaks to the original design; the most prominent ones being the round twin-tail joints and the obvious screws in her back. Some fans may not appreciate the artificial look, but I do. It’s robot moe, and that’s still relevant to my interests. ^_^
Also, the chrome finish on everything (except the skin) is <3. Here are some photos(that we apparently missed, oops) from Winter WonFes 2010 to illustrate how “metallic” the figure looks:
Chōgōkin Miku comes with a microphone, a piano, a couple of leeks and the ROCKET-PUNCHING ARM. While there aren’t any videos out there demonstrating its effectiveness, it’ll sure as hell make for a good laugh at figure meets.
The included base has depressions to “slot” in the piano, leeks and the ROCKET-PUNCHING ARM, and also features a sliding drawer in the back to store the extra hands and spare leeks. Those leeks look a little different though (but the photo in the magazine scan is just too small to make it out).
Still no word on the pricing, though as I’ve mentioned before, this one is a Hobby Japan limited release, and is slated for a May release this year. Can’t wait. >_<
P.S. If you’re new to Chōgōkin Miku, I highly suggest you check out the other posts here, here, here and here.

wow it better than i expected. but 1 problem thou where’s the LEEK TON-FA’S?
I heard this is a collaboration between Bandai and Max Factory, so now seeing the sample here I can see how it has some reminiscence to the figma (or is it just me?). Her eyes kinda looked squinted/cockeyed though. Otherwise there’s plentiful of accessories, and there’s even a small draw at the base to store them too, which is neat.
.-= Q´s last blog ..Upcoming gunpla to-buy list =-.
Say, what is the definition of ‘moe’? Does it mean very cute? =) Can someone help, please? Thank you! ^^
