The promotional banner

The pic above popped up on Happy Kuji website, revealing slightly further information about Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Family Mart version (usually called as Famima Miku). First info is regarding her release schedule: August 2012, and the second one is her raffle price: 800 Yen. One of her accessories is also revealed here: her hand holding a bag of nuggets (or cakes, or some other kind of food).

What is a raffle, you ask? Well, a raffle is a competition in which people obtain numbered tickets, each ticket having the chance of winning a prize. At a set time, the winners are drawn from a container holding a copy of every number. The drawn tickets are checked against a collection of prizes with numbers attached to them, and the holder of the ticket wins the prize. (Wikipedia) Yes, you might call it a lottery. XD

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Note: I could guess that some of you will comment like this: “No more Miku please” or “Please do other character” or something like that. XD

Nendoroid Takatsuki Ichika in the NicoNico broadcast

Nendoroid Takatsuki Ichika from Ano Natsu de Matteru and Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Family Mart version was featured in the live NicoNico broadcast by GSC earlier.

You can see all the screencaps after the break. ^^

Default pose

Shocked expression

Embarrassed

Playing with hand dolls

Nendoroid Takatsuki Ichika looks really promising there. All of her expressions are simply adorable! … and that hand dolls are extremely cute as well! Woah!!! XD

Meanwhile, Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Family Mart version also got some highlights in the live broadcast. Here are a few pics:

Default pose (holding a bag of croquette?)

Second pose (smiling expression)

Eventhough her default expression is similar to the original Nendoroid Hatsune Miku (+ Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Support version) and Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2011 version, I have to say that her second pose is adorable. I really like her happy smiling expression and that bag of croquette 9 (?) looks interesting. ^^

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

Note: Pics are originally uploaded by some fine folks from MFC.

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Family Mart version

Yep, the official info and pics on Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Family Mart version has been available on GSC website since yesterday, just a day after the WonHobby News Watch broadcast.

Here’s the official description:

A collaboration between Miku and FamilyMart!
The popular character lot draws at FamilyMart will feature Miku Hatsune starting in August with a special campaign titled ‘Happy Lots Miku Hatsune’, which will be be running at all FamilyMart Convenience Stores!

If you’re lucky enough to draw the B prize, you’ll get your hands on this lovely Nendoroid of Miku dressed up in the FamilyMart staff uniform! Plus she also comes with one of FamilyMart’s most popular products, the ‘Family Chicken’ as an optional extra, as well as parts that allow you to pose her welcoming new customers to the store!

Kindly go past the break to view the pics of this lovely Nendoroid as well as a mouthwatering snack. XD

Holding a bag of Famichiki

Famichiki (Family Chicken) is one of signature snack featured in Family Mart (Famima). It is basically a piece/slice of fried chicken that being put inside a small bag for take-away snack.

Family Mart’s Famichiki

As a side note, Lawson and 7-Eleven also have this kind of snack, named “L-Chiki” and “Fried Chicken” respectively, but it seems that Family Mart’s Famichiki is the best out of those three. XD

Greeting the customer with a gentle smile

As mentioned in our previous post, Nendoroid Famima Miku will be available as a lottery item (B Prize) and you will have to pay 800 Yen for each draw. She is scheduled for August release. More info regarding the lottery will be available at Happy Kuji.

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

So you think Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Family Mart version is the last product of collaboration between Family Mart and Hatsune Miku (and GSC) ?

Well, apparently, the project continues with another new Nendoroid. This time, the resulting product is Nendoroid Petite Hatsune Miku: Christmas Piano Cake version.

Yes, as the product name suggests, it is actually a piano-shaped cake with Petite Hatsune Miku (wearing love goddess-like outfit) on top of the cake; slated for Christmas Eve release.

So … why does she look like an angel of love when the theme is ‘Christmas’? Apparently, Christmas Eve in Japan is pretty similar to Valentine’s Day in the western countries – giving gifts to someone we love. XD

Anyway, this Nendoroid Petite (and the cake) will be available for pre-order starting October 2nd until November 26th, priced at 3900 Yen. The set will be released delivered on the Chrismas Eve (obviously!), December 24th in Japan.

What do you think about the Petite + cake set? Are you going to pre-order it, Nendonesian? XD

Family Mart has just announced their product catalog for Winter 2012. Obviously, Nendoroid Petite Hatsune Miku: Christmas Piano Cake version is included in the catalog.

The cake + Petite set is now open for pre-order with 3900 Yen price tag, although it is only available for Japanese residents only. As usual, we need to rely on proxies (or friend who reside in Japan) to pre-order it, though I doubt we could eat the cake once it arrived on our desks. XD

So you decided to pre-order the cake anyway? Well, here is the pre-order form in PDF for you to print and fill-in – along with your proxy service of choice. ^^

GSC has just posted a new info regarding Hatsune Miku Christmas Piano Cake, otherwise known as Nendoroid Petite Hatsune Miku: Christmas Piano Cake version.

An angel to bring some extra Christmas Spirit to you this year!
A special piano-shaped chocolate cake with chocolate and raspberry cream sandwiched in the middle, and the piano keys are made from chocolate too! On top the cake stands a cute 65mm Nendoroid Petite figure of Miku wearing a choir outfit to really give an original feeling to this FamilyMart exclusive Christmas cake. Stock is limited, so if you want to grab one be sure to preorder at one of the 9100 FamilyMart stores across Japan!

The post also mentioned a few important stuff about this product:

• Order Dates: 2nd October 2012 ~ 26th November 2012.
• Collection Date: 24th December 2012 only.
• Price: 3900 Yen

One of our reader, Phen posted an interesting comment about this:

You need to physically go in to the store to pick it up on the 24th in Japan, so proxies won’t really help unless you have someone to go there and pick it up for you.

I think his argument is quite sensible, because the circumstances for this product is kind of … special. XD

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian?

Yep, it seems that the rumor is true after all: the 30cm-tall Nendoroid Jumbo Miku and Santa Miku will be available as Goodsmile’s Christmas Lottery event Prize A and B, respectively.

Interestingly, the other lottery prizes have also been revealed. See them all after the break – and prepare your wallet. XD

Aww … it seems that Nendoroid Petite: Vocaloid Append set will be available as Prize C here … and I thought this set would be available as a standard-run. ( ╥ ﹏╥)

The lottery event will start on December 4th and more information is going to be available on http://kuji.goodsmile.jp starting Thursday.

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? XD

Mikatan and her co-host, along with representatives from SEGA, Crypton, Famitsu, and Family Mart were having a live Nico Nico broadcast earlier, dubbed as Hatsune Miku’s Time: 3rd Period … although we have mostly known what they are going to cover there, ahead of the broadcast. XD

Nevertheless, the broadcast was fun and entertaining, and we’ve got some screencaps to share with you here.

Obviously, Nendoroid Plus Jumbo Hatsune Miku also gets a jumbo Nendoroid box!

Now you can measure just how big it is, literally. Yep, that’s Mikatan who tried to hold the jumbo Nendoroid.

The other prizes look like Petites there. XD

The creepy Nendoroid Mikudayo also gets a jumbo counterpart … not as big as jumbo Miku though.

Everytime I look at Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Santa version, I cannot resist the urge to say “Cuteeee!!”.

… and here’s the Nendoroid Petite Miku Rin Len Append set, that seems overshadowed by Jumbo Miku and Santa Miku.

Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^

(Thanks for the screencaps, Kendric Koh!)

Aside from the voting for Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2014 version, there are bigger news there: a couple of Vocaloid Nendoroids as part of Happy Kuji Summer 2013 version campaign by GSC and FamilyMart. Wow!

A Prize in the kuji (lottery) will net you both Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Swimsuit version and Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: FamilyMart 2013 version. While the FamilyMart Miku looks similar to the last year’s version, the one who get the most spotlight here is the swimsuit Miku. Wearing swimsuit while riding on top of a dolphin!? She’s simply too cute!! XD

This time, Rin also joined the FamilyMart rank and as expected, she is wearing the FamilyMart’s female employee outfit there. The B Prize Nendoroid Kagamine Rin: FamilyMart version also includes a barcode scanner to help her do her daily job in the convenience store.

Rin’s twin brother Len joined as an employee in the FamilyMart as well, dubbed as Nendoroid Kagamine Len: FamilyMart version as C Prize in the lottery. He will brings along the popular snack Hachune Miku mochi/cake as well.

… and the last prize is Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Swimsuit version, though last prize does not necessarily mean that it would be easy to get her. XD

All of them are scheduled to be released on September, with each Happy Kuji lottery draw will cost you 800 Yen. Ah … I guess these stuff will be difficult to get for those who live outside Japan. XD

Anyway, which one do you like the most, Nendonesian?

GSC’s collaboration with FamilyMart and Crypton Future Media are still running, and this summer they are going to produce the FamilyMart version of Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, and Kagamine Len in Nendoroid version.
