Nendoroid Snow Miku 2013 ver. Design Contest

As with last year, PIAPRO, in collaboration with Good Smile Company, has announced a Design Contest for the 2013 version of the annually-released Nendoroid Snow Miku.

This year's Nendoroid Snow Miku, dubbed the "Fluffy Coat Ver." (which can be seen from the above image), was the winning design of a similar design contest organized by GSC and PIAPRO last year, which had a theme involving Crystals and Jewels.

In this year's contest, however, participants are to emphasize their Snow Miku Designs around the theme of Confectioneries, including sweets, candy, cakes, etc. The winning design will be made into a limited production Nendoroid product for sale next year.

Those interested in participating in the contest may do so on the Contest Webpage, where the Nendoroid Template and Submission Guide can be found. As of now, the contest has no official deadline.

Submissions are already being uploaded by participants, and can be viewed in this page

Nendoroid Racing Miku 2012 ver. Preview Images

Coloured Prototype images of this year's upcoming Nendoroid Racing Miku 2012 ver. is now up on the Good Smile Company website.

This year's Racing Miku design is based on an illustration by GAN.  Stepping away from 2011's more mature look, 2012's Racing Miku has more of a cute feeling to her.

As shown, one of her two faceplates is a winking expression, based on the original illustration. Her twintails also seem to consist of at least two separate parts to allow for more dynamic posing of the hair. She also comes with arm parts that allows her to be posed in a saluting stance.

A bent leg part also enables her to be posed just like in another official illustration.

Of course, following previous Racing Miku versions, Racing Miku 2012 will also come with an open and closed parasol, as well as a miniature Good Smile Racing Nendoroid Race car, which she will be able to ride in.
