I hope all of my fellow New Englanders are all shoveled out and safe. Here's something cute and snowy to cheer us all up! Good Smile Company's latest line of capsule toys featuring, of course, Miku Hatsune has a long name, but look like a lot of fun. Nendoroid Plus: Capsule Factory ~Snow Miku and Friends from the North~ SEASON 1 takes Miku and turns her into adorable little figures of both her snow incarnations and three figures associated with northern Japan.
- Snow Miku: Snow Bell Ver.
- Rabbit Yukine
- Snow Miku (2010)
- Hatsune Miku x Marimo
- Hatsune Miku x Hokkaido Red Fox
- Hatsune Miku x Hokkaido Brown Bear
How can you not look at these and smile? Both of the Snow Miku figures are pretty standard and look pretty happy to have been included in the first series of figures. Yukine kinda bores me, It's a little too much like the ones that come with the bigger Snow Bell Miku figures. Really wish it was Miku in a Yukine costume. Apparently Marimo is an algae ball unique to Lake Akan. Okaaay... The Red fox is pretty great, especially with her tongue sticking out. But the best of all has got to be Brown Bear Miku with her angry bear face! I demand some Yurikuma bear figures in the same style to go with her!
The figures themselves don't have much more than a turning head and twin tails, but those heads are readily swapable with Nendoroid Petite figures if you want to give them a little more height. To be honest, I don't think the head swapping is quite as successful as they're selling it to be, but I'm sure there are a lot of fans who will get some use of it. Unfortunately, judging from the product page you'll only be able to find these at Japanese live events, but if we're lucky they'll bring some along to events outside of Japan like they've done with some other exclusives in the past.
Still, that bear, might have to drop a few bucks to get one...
