  • 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.

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!
