More Miku preorder listings have been going up unofficially over the past twenty four hours, including one at Amazon, and we now have incontrovertible proof of her leekness. She was also present in the plastic today at the Dengeki 15th Anniversary Festival, and Akiba Hobby was there to shoot an exhaustive review (no leek in evidence, alas). She’s also pictured in Dengeki’s official coverage, as well as below:
This release has nigh perfect timing, hitting Miku at the crest of her popularity and before the release of Rin… I wonder how many seconds she’ll take to sell out once preorders are officially open.
don’t get it…I mean the attraction?! Can someone explain ;)
I guess you can say that Miku’s the next step in virtual idol evolution from where Lynn Minmei of Macross fame was the first.
Minmei was a virtual idol propagated by TV. Now, we have the internet. :)
Never actually bought a Nendoroid figure before. But for Miku sake’s, I might consider it this one time. For the leek version mostly…
Isn’t this more a Sharon Apple scenario?
Don’t particularly care for Vocaloid, but damn is that an adorable figure. I just hope the pre-orders sell out before I do something stupid and taxing on my wallet…
Thank the good Lord I’m not into these Nendorid things and have no idea who this Miku is as well.
Wallet is happy!

Thanks Sub. Forgotten all about Sharon Apple and Mac+
Yup. This looks to be that type of scenario.
Guess I will hold back from buying this Miku Nendoroid as I’m not familar with her. However, if they ever come out with a Minmei version… \(^v^)/
