Nendoroid Hatsune Miku V4: Chinese Ver. Prototype

Also revealed today is the prototype of the Nendoroid Hatsune Miku V4: Chinese Ver. by Good Smile Company based on the key visual by Mame no Moto! This makes her the very first Hatsune Miku figure based on a completely new and non-Japanese voicebank. Price and release date due at later dates.

Preorder date and Poppro site 

The SCLA teaser site has been updated with a key visual by Mame no Moto, the official illustrator of Snow Miku 2016, along with preorder date announced for August 31st in contrary to the recent news leak. There’s no mention on price and release date as of now. The other site in question, Poppro, long suspected to be China’s own version of Piapro,jp, has finally opened today. We’re seeing uploads by fans already!

An early news leak by the user 死图P-V家情报收集 on Weibo has revealed that Hatsune Miku V4C preorders will (reportedly) open tomorrow at 680 yuan (~102 USD), along with the release date planned for September 10th. We also get a first look at the packages with the key visual by the illustrator Mame no Moto, which some may be more familiar with as the official illustrator of Snow Miku 2016.

The leak comes just a day before the official press conference planned for tomorrow in Shanghai (August 24th), and so we’re expecting confirmations and official announcements by then. In related news, there’s also the countdown timer on Poppro website to look forward to on August 31st.
