SEGA has surprised us today by announcing a DLC for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X that probably no one expected: A module of Hastsune Miku in the Racing Miku 2016 outfit. This marks the first time a Racing Miku design has been featured as a module in any Diva game since Racing Miku 2012. The reason for the gap of unused Racing Miku designs (2013~2015) remains unknown to this day.

The module will be released to the Japanese PlayStation network on April 28th JST with a price of 300 Yen. SEGA also released the render below. As a reminder, Project Diva X is expected to launch in the Americas for the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 in Fall 2016.

The newest release in the trio of announced Hatsune Miku Nendoroid Co-de figures is the Raspberrism ver., which comes from Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X to accompany the song Raspberry Monster. She’s definitely one of the “louder” Hatsune Miku figure designs in terms of deviation from her “default” outfit and look.

The Raspberry Monster that travels freely through cyberspace!

From the SEGA feat. HATSUNE MIKU Project’s ‘Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- X’ comes a Nendoroid Co-de of the conspicuous ‘Raspberryism’ module!

The rich colors of the module that give her the energetic appearance she is known for have been faithfully included in the design, creating a Miku who is rather different to the one we normally see. A unique design for fans to add to their Co-de collection!

The good news is that since all three Hatsune Miku Co-de nendoroids were announced in such a short time span of each other (the others being Ha2ne and Bless You), it’s possible to pick up all three together in the same order. The Raspberrisim ver. nendoroid is priced at 3,000 Yen ($28 USD), and has an expected shipping period of August 2016. Preorders will remain open until May 18th at 9:00 PM JST.

Good Smile Company online shop orders will include an exclusive pin badge, for those who enjoy extras for collection. You can also find her available from these other online shops for less, but without the preorder bonuses.

> Get her on CDJapan!
> Get her on Amiami!
> Get her on Hobby Search!
> Get her on Tokyo Otaku Mode!
