Treasure Festa in Ariake 6: Vocaloid Kits

7:30 PM on 12.18.2011   |   Chris Seto

Of course, when I say Vocaloid, what I mean to say is Hatsune Miku. Seriously, her popularity is so far above all the others combined that the others are basically being ignored! And that's a shame.

Strangely enough, for one of the main "pillars" of the current garage kit scene, there weren't too many Miku kits this time around and most of the vocaloid kits are older ones which we have seen in previous events. Still, I'm more inclined to believe that this is a blip rather than a terminal decline in popularity towards Miku (though I wouldn't mind seeing that just for giggles)!

My personal favourite is still the Yowane Haku figure but the append is an interesting attempt to conform the design to a more familiar Miku look. Then again, one could say that it takes away that which made append so desirable in the first place... maybe. How about you, readers? Which is your favourite kit?
