Hatsune Miku is a character who personifies the Yamaha-created Vocaloid range of voice synthesis software and is a cyber-celebrity. The software and character were created by Crypton Future Media, Inc.

History of Hatsune Miku and Nendoroid

Not much time had passed between the creation of Hatsune Miku on 31 August 2007, and March 2008, when Good Smile Company (hereafter abbreviated as GSC) released their first Hatsune Miku Nendoroid #033. Shortly thereafter, another Miku-related Nendoroid followed based on a specific fanwork, and since then, famous tracks and festivals have been inspiring various Nendoroid Mikus that enjoy vast popularity, as well as the other Vocaloid characters.

Over 40 Nendoroid Mikus (including multiple resales of the very first one and the extra Nendoroid series) have been released, making Miku one of the most popular Nendoroid characters to be produced thus far.

#033 Hatsune Miku

This figure features Hatsune Miku in her original appearance from the illustrations on the original Character Vocal Series. Her outfit is similar to what Japanese idols would wear and is in line with her theme color of blue. She has extremely long blue hair tied into twintails which is her iconic image. The color blue is very unique and is almost green with most sites stating her original hair and eye color is teal.

Additional Parts

#300 Hatsune Miku 2.0

Release Date	June 2014
Sculptor	Manabu Katou

Additional Parts

This figure includes three swappable facial expressions; her everyday smile with her eyes large and bright and mouth open. The second face plate shows Hatsune Miku looking playful as she smiles with her mouth closed and closes one eye in a winking expression. Finally, the last expression is in a chibi-style as her eyes are made into arrow-like shapes to show her excitement. Her mouth is also wide open with an obvious color of blush on her cheeks. This expression is something the fans are able to see in the original opening sequence. The figure also includes a synth part, a guitar part, a microphone part, and twin loudspeaker parts. Of course, she won’t be complete without her iconic and beloved leek. Hatsune Miku 2.0 even has spare parts that allow her to assume a sitting position. Enjoy posing the adorable Nendoroid Hatsune Miku in various ways as she sings and plays an instrument for her songs.

#854 Hatsune Miku: V4 Chinese

This figure features the Chinese version of Hatsune Miku and is based on an illustration created by mamenomoto. Enjoy a slightly different version of her outfit with Chinese styles to it. There are many cute small flowers, ribbons, and buttons that are very characteristically Chinese. Her usual twintails show more detail with some individual strands seeming to look like they are twirling around in the air.
