The Racing Miku 2018 ver. 1/7 scale figure is now open for preorder! The Goodsmile Racing’s mischievous racing angel, illustrated by Kanzaki Hiro, is now available on Good Smile’s online shop and other online stores.

A scale figure of the official character of the 2018 Hatsune Miku GT Project!

The 2018 edition of the official character of the 2018 Hatsune Miku GT Project, Racing Miku, has arrived as a 1/7th scale figure! This year’s illustration by popular illustrator Hiro Kanzaki has been transformed into a figure packed full of impressive detail.

Her cute, mischievous expression with her tongue sticking out has also been captured in figure form. Translucent parts are utilized for her hair, giving it a somewhat see-through appearance at the ends.

The detailed sculpting of her athletic legs and stomach are two of many highlights of this figure. Be sure to add the energetic Racing Miku to your collection!

Preorders for the Racing Miku 2018 1/7 scale figure will be open until October 18th at 12:00 JST. She’s priced at 14,800 yen on Good Smile’s online shop, and will ship in November next year.  You can also find her on the following online stores listed below!

> Tokyo Otaku Mode
> CD Japan
> Good Smile’s Online Shop

Goodsmile Racing emerges victorious at 3rd place in Super GT round 6 this weekend at SUGO. Previously the team performed excellently in round 5 despite the heavy weight handicap and fierce competition, and came out at 2nd place. The outstanding performance brought them to 5th place overall in the GT300 class ranking.

With the latest victory at SUGO, the team now moves up to 2nd place overall and is only behind by 6 points. This puts Goodsmile Racing dangerously closer to winning the championship more than ever, not to mention that there are only two more races left to go. The next race will be held at Autopolis on October 20th~21st. Fight, GSR!

Good Smile Company has announced their Cheerful Japan 2018 charity project, which aims to raise funds to aid in Japan’s recovery after the recent earthquake, storm and flood disasters. Joining this campaign is an updated Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Cheerful ver.! (They should have added 2.0 to the name!)

Sending the power of smiles!

We wish to express our condolences to those who have been affected by the disasters that have struck Japan since April 2018.

– 2018 Shimane Earthquake
– 2018 Osaka Earthquake
– July 2018 Floods
– Typhoon Jebi
– 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake

We want to work with our fans to bring back the cheer to Japan by bringing back the ‘Cheerful JAPAN!’ charity project, to help raise funds to aid relief efforts in affected areas. This product is released as a joint charity project with Crypton Future Media.

Using Nendoroid Hatsune Miku 2.0 as a base, she comes with a standard expression, excited expression and a cheering expression! For optional parts, a flag, pom-poms and her trusty leek are all included! Special hand and leg parts are also included to put her in her supportive, cheering pose! Together, let’s support the areas affected and cheer on all of Japan! For each figure sold, Crypton Future Media and Good Smile Company will donate ¥1000 to aid the relief efforts in Japan.

The nendoroid is available exclusively through Good Smile Company’s online shop until October 11th, 2018 at 12:00 PM JST, and is priced at 4,000 Yen ($37). She’s expected to ship January 2019!
