What if Hatsune Miku didn’t particularly enjoy dancing to the song in that super viral music video you uploaded the other day? This fanmade action video by Chinese animator 008Gundy features Hatsune Miku expressing her displeasure after they recently featured her in a music video dancing to Gokuraku Jodo by GARNiDELiA. It’s been very popular with Chinese fans, gaining 700,000 views on Bilibili in just 3 days.

The video uses REMmaple’s Hatsune Miku V3 MikuMikuDance model, with impressive animation in 3DS Max. The ending also teases a new video that will be uploaded to 008Gundy’s Bilibili account on February 2nd, local China time.

We don’t want to give any further spoilers, so watch the video below to see what happens, or click the following link if the embedded video doesn’t play: http://www.bilibili.com/video/av8263165/

Snow Miku 1/7 scale figure!

The Snow Miku figure is now open for preorder! The figure is part of the Good Smile Company 15th anniversary, and bases on an original design by MONQ, the official illustrator for Magical Mirai 2015.

The winter songstress speeding through the snow!

The very first scale figure of Snow Miku from Good Smile Company! Snow Miku was designed as a mascot character for Winter in Hokkaido, and this version was illustrated by MONQ in a lovely dynamic pose that has now been carefully converted into a figure with the utmost attention to detail!

Her long, flowing hair makes use of semi-transparent parts for a lovely icy appearance, the snowflake patterns all over the design have been faithfully included, and the sculpt has been carefully tuned to ensure the figure looks great from all sorts of different angles! She has a determined, cool expression on her face with a slight blush on her cheeks and glossy lips that bring out her feminine charm for fans to enjoy in their collection!

Preorders are now available until March 2nd at 12:00 JST. She’s priced at 14,800 yen on Goodsmile’s Online Shop, and is scheduled for release sometime in November  2017. She’s also available for preorder from the following online stores (prices, preorder end dates, and release dates may vary by stores):

> Snow Miku 1/7 Scale Figure on Tokyo Otaku Mode 
> Snow Miku 1/7 Scale Figure on CDJapan
> Snow Miku 1/7 Scale Figure  on Good Smile’s Online Shop
> Snow Miku 1/7 Scale Figure on Hobby Search
> Snow Miku 1/7 Scale Figure on AmiAmi
