A Word About Bootleg
An article posted on the Good Smile Company website, warns about a knock-off version of the Nendoroid Puchi Vocaloid figures that seems to be circulating. Reading through the article (using Google translate) you can piece together what makes these bootleg copies.

For a better example, here is Miku in both the bootleg and original form. The bootleg version is on the left.

When I first saw this I was like wha?!?! But this figure grew on me fairly quickly. The attitude she exudes is obvious and is in contrast to other versions of the same Vocaloid (see below) I am not really a fan of the remake of Miku but this one I like.

Figma Hirasawa Yui
Of course Yui would probably be in a world of trouble were it not for her ever dependable little sister, Hirasawa Ui. She is due out in February, retail price 2,500 ¥.

Next up, a real cutie. Snow Miku Hatsune. This is a special edition created as a replica of the sculpture to be erected at the Sapporo Snow Festival. Note the transparent ends of her hair and the snowflakes throughout… Retail 3,000 ¥.
Nendoroid Snow Miku Hatsune
We pause now as a ogle over this next figure… Another version of Saber from the series Fate / Stay Night. Ok, I admit it, I’m a Saber fan. This may look familiar to a previous version because it is. Some of her armaments has been removed and facial detail changed. I like the detail on the scabbard and the base. Retail 9,000 ¥.
Scale Saber Lily ~Golden Caliburn~
And lastly for now, MORE K-On! poison. This time in the form of both Mio and Ritsu in Nendoroid form performing for you on an included di:stage. Retail at 8,000 ¥.
Nendoroid Mio & Ritsu
Each of these figures are due to be release in February of this year. Talk about short notice… I will probably have to pass on these as I am still expecting figures I ordered last year. If I can, I would have to choose Ui and Miku out of this batch. I don’t have any Miku figurines in my collection but this Snow version is just to cute.
