Bandai reveals new SNOW MIKU 2026 figure collection featuring all 6 Piapro Characters
A new line of collectible “shokugan,” or “food toys,” has been announced by the Japanese manufacturer Bandai, which will be themed around the upcoming “Snow Miku 2026.”
“Shokugan” is a popular style of collectible in Japan, where a small toy or other item is bundled with a piece of candy or a snack.
“Snow Miku” is the official winter-themed version of the virtual singer Hatsune Miku, who serves as a yearly mascot for the city of Sapporo and its famous Snow Festival.
Her costume design is chosen each year through a fan-based art contest, with the winning entry being turned into a variety of official merchandise.
This new collection is a series of small, cute, “deformed” or “chibi-style” figures, each with its own display stand.
The lineup features a total of eight different figures to collect, including three different versions of the “Snow Miku 2026” design, as well as figures of the other five “Piapro Characters.”
The full lineup is as follows:
- Snow Miku 2026 A
- Snow Miku 2026 B
- Snow Miku 2026 C
- MEIKO
- KAITO
- Megurine Luka
- Kagamine Rin
- Kagamine Len
The figures are sold in a “blind box” format, where the specific design inside each individual box is randomized.
The “SNOW MIKU 2026 COLLECTION” is being sold in an 8-piece box, priced at ¥6,160 (approx. $42 USD/£31 GBP).
Pre-orders for the new collection began on the Premium Bandai website on Wednesday, the 1st of October and the figures are scheduled to be shipped to customers in February 2026.
