Today is 3/9 in Japan, otherwise known as “Miku Day” to many Hatsune Miku fans around the world. And on this day, Good Smile Company has decided to release their largest Hatsune Miku figure yet: The Hatsune Miku V3 1/4 scale by FREEing.

We previously thought the 1/4 scale would put her at 39cm, but she will stand a slightly taller 42cm in height. Based on the original Miku V3 design traits by iXima, this figure retains many of the intricate outfit details.

All things considered with the size and detail, the figure comes with a reasonable price: 27,800 Yen ($230 USD) from Good Smile Company’s online shop, although you can also find it from many other online shops. Preorders from GSC’s shop will remain open until April 15th at 9:00 PM JST. Shipments are expected in September 2015.
