Good Smile Company had a surprise up its sleeve, and announced not just one, but two all new figures for Hatsune Miku collectors. The first of which is figma Sakura Miku, which many of you have been waiting for!

The songstress turned cherry blossom fairy is ready to usher in the spring!
Dressed in an adorable cherry blossom themed outfit, Sakura Miku is now a figma!

  • Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different poses.
  • A flexible plastic is used for important areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
  • She comes with three face plates including a gentle smiling face, an adorable singing face and a smiling face with closed eyes.
  • She comes with a selection of different optional parts, including a cherry blossom, tray, dango skewer, bottle of amazake, cup and camera.
  • A special pink stand with cherry blossom pattern is included.
  • An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

Figma Sakura Miku is available exclusively from Good Smile Company’s online shop for 8800 JPY ($83.99 USD), and will be available for preorder until June 18th, 2020 at 12:00 PM JST. She’s expected to ship out in December 2020. Check the shop links below!

Next up on the list is the Nendoroid Doll Sakura Miku! If you were charmed by the previous Nendoroid Doll Hatsune Miku, then perhaps this sakura-fied version will also tickle your fancy.

Sakura Miku is now a Nendoroid Doll!
From “Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku” comes a Nendoroid Doll of Sakura Miku! Nendoroid Dolls feature the same Nendoroid heads, but an alternate doll-like body that is highly articulated and can easily be dressed-up into different outfits while still remaining a palm-sized action figure! Sakura Miku’s translucent, cherry blossom patterned twintails have been recreated in Nendoroid Doll form! Be sure to add the adorable Sakura Miku to your collection!

Nendoroid Doll Sakura Miku is also available exclusively from Good Smile company’s online shop for 6930 JPY ($65.99 USD), and will be open to preorders until June 18th, 2020 at 12:00 PM JST. Her expected shipping date is sometime in December 2020. We’ve got the shop links for you below!

Goodsmile Racing Announces Tropical Version of 2020 Racing Miku and More

Goodsmile Racing recently broadcasted several announcements in a live stream on their YouTube Channel. Unlike their previous live streams where everyone is together, the stream was mostly broadcasted through video calls to practice social distancing because of the current situation that is the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the pandemic, the first half of the Super GT season had to be postponed to later dates in hope that the situation improves.

The opening race at Okayama has been postponed to 11th and 12th of July, Fuji has been postponed to 8th and 9th of August, Sugo has been postponed to 12th and 13th of September, while Suzuka, Thailand and Sepang (Malaysia) are still yet to be confirmed. Autopolis and Motegi are expected to run on their initial scheduled dates.

An illustration was published by LEN[A-7] on the 10th of April as the opening race was supposed to happen on that weekend, but instead the team encouraged fans to stay home to help reduce the spread of the virus.

A new “Tropical” version of the 2020 Racing Miku has been announced sporting the usual tan to cheer on the team for the oversea races in Thailand and Malaysia under the blazing humid tropical weather.

A collaboration with Super Sonico has been announced with Super Sonico also wearing the 2020 racing outfit with an illustration by 津路参汰 (ニトロプラス)

And to conclude the stream, a new theme song for 2020 was announced, called “Burning!!” written and composed by DIVELA, who is most known for winning the 2018 Magical Mirai Song Contest with METEOR. You can listen to the theme song at the end of the stream.
