As we suspected, the TRICK or MIKU figure by Union Creative has made its way to various online stores! Preorders are now available from the following shops (may be updated as more become available):

> Tokyo Otaku Mode (Use coupon code “SpringMikuFan”!)
> CDJapan
> Hobby Search
> Amiami

The highly detailed figure based on an illustration by Hidari is 17cm tall and 18cm wide, posed on a base decorated with candy. Perfect for the Halloween holiday! Like we previously announced, the figure is expected to ship in late October 2017. Check out the gallery below!

The result of the Hatsune Miku: Magical Mirai 2017 music contest is in! The winner is Keisei, with his song titled “Singularity“, congratulations! The announcement comes from a live panel yesterday at Niconico Chokaigi.

Keisei’s music description comment:

Thank you not just for 10 years, but also 20, 100, and I believe far into the distant future.

I surely trust technologies make us happier.
♪♫ ◟¶(⁄•˅̥•∖)⁋ ♪♬

Congratulations to Hatsune Miku for celebrating 10 years!

Keisei’s song will be featured in the live concert this summer at Magical Mirai 2017, which is pretty honorable! You can listen to the song from the piapro player below, or from the piapro link: http://piapro.jp/t/Hxk-

EDIT: Now also featured on the official Hatsune Miku YouTube channel!

You probably saw the non-painted sculpture of the new Halloween Miku figure teased at the last WonFes, and wanted to know more… And now thanks to Union Creative’s reveal on twitter and figure display at Atre in Akihabara, now we have photos of the painted version, and a preorder starting date!

The 170mm tall figure will go up for preorder on Union Creative’s site on May 1st at 11:00 AM JST. It has a final price of 17,064 Yen, and is expected to ship in October 2017, just in time for Halloween! An acrylic keychain using Hidari’s artwork is also included as a preorder bonus, and measures H72 x W95mm in size. Preorders end on May 28th at 23:59 JST.

A small issue for overseas Miku fans wanting this figure is that Union Creative’s Japanese site (where the figure is listed) does not accept overseas preorder requests. However, Good Smile Company and other online stores are known suppliers of Union Creative figures, so we should hopefully expect this figure to pop up at other shops. Union Creative may also add it to their overseas storefront. We’ll keep you posted!
