The long-awaited release of Project Sekai Colorful Stage feat. Hatsune Miku is finally here! The game is available for download on both the Google Play and Apple App stores. While it’s only officially released in Japan, the game is still playable as long as you can either side-load the game (Android) or register a Japan region account (iOS). We’re hoping it will eventually get a release outside of Japan as well!

The dancing fairy…
From the Hatsune Miku live event that takes place in China, “MIKU WITH YOU”, comes a Nendoroid of Hatsune Miku based on the 2019 main visual illustration!

She comes with a microphone, the panda Takene and a background plate as optional parts. Be sure to add her to your collection!

At long last, the Hatsune Miku Nendoroid from the Digimon Adventure 20th anniversary collaboration is now available for preorder!

Presenting a collaboration Nendoroid from Hatsune Miku and Digimon!
From the Hatsune Miku x Digimon Adventure Collaboration for Digimon Adventure’s 20th Anniversary comes a Nendoroid of Hatsune Miku wearing an Agumon kigurumi! She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a curious blank expression and a smiling expression. Optional parts include a butterfly and goggles. The Nendoroid features advanced articulation, allowing you to create all kinds of poses. Be sure to add this very special Nendoroid to your collection!

Good Smile Company isn’t making getting this particular Nendoroid easy. She seems to be locked to the Japanese store for 5500 JPY, possibly due to licensing restrictions. However, the website Hobby Search seems to have the situation covered, and is allowing worldwide reservations! Besides Hobby Search, if other sources also become available, we’ll add them here!
