You’ve likely seen photos of this sculpture teased at the recent Wonder Festival or Miku Expo events, and wondered, like many of us, when this figure would see the light of day. That day has come, and the Hatsune Miku Ebata Risa ver. 1/7 scale figure is finally up for order!

The figure was inspired by the artwork of Ebata Risa, which was created as the cover for the album “Melody Line(s)” by SmileR, which released earlier this year. Ebata Risa is also well known as the character designer for the Macross Frontier anime series.

The details and appearance of the figure, sculpted by Max Fectory, are quite stunning and unique compared to previous figures, with Miku sitting on a large crystal that appears to be floating in the air. Her outfit has a gothic lolita style, which may highly appeal to certain collectors.

The figure has an MSRP of 19,800 Yen ($165 USD) from Good Smile Company’s online shop, and orders will remain open until January 21st, 2015. It is expected to ship sometime in July 2015. The figure can also be found from several other online retailers for various prices, so feel free to look around.

A short while ago via Good Smile Racing’s nicovideo live stream, the team announced the all-new Racing Miku 2015 design, as well as an all new car for the 2015 racing season. Rather than a BMW Z4, GSR will now be using the Mercedes SLS AMG GT3. Currently, GSR does not have the actual car ready for display, so a scale model was revealed in its place.

The new Racing Miku, referred to by GSR as a “Princess Knight”, was designed by Koyama Shigeto, and illustrated by Taiki. It features an interesting design of Hatsune Miku carrying a shield with an umbrella that rolls into a lance.

Additionally, Nendoroid sponsorship courses will be opening on January 1st, much earlier than expected!
