The anticipated “renewal” of the Cryptonloid petite series is here! With “Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Renewal”, the petite for each character has a fresh look with their more modern VOCALOID3 & 4 outfits.

A brand new series of Vocaloid characters is joining the cute articulated ‘Nendoroid Petite’ trading figure series – Hatsune Miku Renewal! The set includes six different characters all dressed up in the outfits of their most recent versions – including Hatsune Miku V3, Kagamine Rin V4X, Kagamine Len V4X, Megurine Luka V4X, MEIKO V3, KAITO V3.

In addition there is also one secret character that fans are sure to love! Enjoy the brand new, highly detailed and absolutely adorable figures of Miku and friends in your collection! ♪

There is a box preorder campaign where you get a set of petite-sized wings as a preorder bonus! There’s 8 boxes total in the set, meaning that besides the 6 Cryptonloids and wings, there is a 7th secret character included in the set! The silhouette and color makes it obvious who the character is, but we wont spoil it.

Preorders from Good Smile Company’s online shop start now, and will remain open until April 13th, 2016 at 9:00 PM JST. The price is 7,200 Yen with an expected release sometime in September 2016. You can also find the set from these other online stores!

We already listed the sponsorship course details here, but there has been photo release updates giving us previews of the nendoroid artwork (now we know how the sculpture will look when painted!), and most of the course goods. If you missed out on the Figma courses as well, GSR has mentioned in a tweet that they will re-open at a future date.

CM ending scene

SEGA announced a new 30 second TV commercial today for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X, and along with it, brought a few extra treats. The first treat is that Fujita Saki herself, the voice provider for Hatsune Miku’s Vocaloid software, provided the voice-over for the commercial! As a professional voice actress, she gets around doing commercial and anime voice acting all the time. Although voicing for a commercial featuring Miku is extra special. Check it out below!

The commercial again shows an interesting scene at the end of the video (pictured above), where we see TWO Mikus on-screen: Hatsune Miku in her original outfit, and another in the “Ultimate Miku” outfit. The latter appears to be hovering, and transparent. We’re unsure if this is something from the game’s opening sequence, or from actual gameplay. Either way, we’re curious what would be going on gameplay story-wise to justify two Miku’s on-screen at the same time (but having two is certainly better than one!).

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X launches for the PlayStation Vita in Japan in just 10 more days! You can grab it on CDJapan with a cool bonus microfiber towel featuring art by LamazeP! The PS4 version launch is due sometime in Fall 2016.
