With the Snow Miku themed tram car scheduled to commence its touring operations in Sapporo tomorrow, today is the day for the designs for the car, nendoroid and figma to be revealed! Official sources (Goodsmile Company), as well as fans have been quick to post photos and videos to twitter, which we’ll summarize below. The figma and nendoroid will also be on display inside the tram car itself during its operation.
The Snow Miku 2016 Snow Owl ver. nendoroid features hinged joints (a feature not seen since the Snow Miku 2011 nendoroid), snow goggles, and a knitted cap made of real fabric! The figma also appears to be quite flexible, but seemingly lacks any frabric materials. International preorders for the figures should open after the Winter Wonfes ends in mid-February, although visitors of the Snow Festival in Sapporo have the chance to obtain them at the event, months earlier than anywhere else.
An all new Snow Mikudayo made an appearance in her typical scary-yet-cute Mikudayo fashion, and was happy to pose with fans in front of the tram. Lastly, the interior of the tram was also decorated with various Snow Miku commodities, including a poster teasing the new Snow Miku 2016 module for Project Diva Arcade!
