Wonder Festival 2013 Winter: figma Miku 2.0 & Miku 2020It wouldn't be WonFes if there wasn't Miku, so it comes as no surprise there are some new pieces of the Vocaloid queen. It seems like just a while ago we were celebrating Figma #100 and we're already gearing up for #200. Max Factory will commemorate the occasion with a version 2.0 of Miku. I'm loving the clear hair, which means it might be yet another Miku into the collective. Interchangeable twintails will be a huge selling point to many, so hey, more money for Max Factory. Speaking of money, the new PVC of Miku will feature her TYPE2020 outfit. She's coming in at 1/7 scale and I think I may have found one that I will actually try to acquire. It's a great outfit and the sculpting actually compels me to try and get it, though I doubt I'll have the ability to. I'm a man of words and very little action, after all.
