FuRyu to release its first-ever Snow Miku prize collection for winter 2025
Japanese prize manufacturer FuRyu has announced its first-ever collection of amusement-exclusive prizes themed around the popular character, “Snow Miku.”
“Snow Miku” is the official winter mascot for the city of Sapporo, a character that was born from the creation of a “pure white” snow sculpture of Hatsune Miku at the famous Sapporo Snow Festival.
This new collection of prize items is being released to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the “Snow Miku Sky Town,” an official shop and museum for the character located at New Chitose Airport.
The designs for the new prizes are based on a new, remade version of a 10th-anniversary illustration that was originally drawn by the artist, buta.
The headline item of the collection is a new “Noodle Stopper Figure – Snow Miku Sky Town 10th ver.-.”
“Noodle Stopper Figures” are a popular category of prize figures, designed with the practical function of holding down the paper lid of an instant noodle cup while the contents cook.
This new figure features the anniversary design and has beautiful, translucent, powder-blue hair.
In addition to the main figure, a number of other, related prize items will also be released as part of the same collection.
The full lineup of four different items is as follows:
- “Mochipiko Plush – Snow Miku Sky Town 10th ver.-” (4 varieties)
A set of cute and surreal plush toys from FuRyu’s popular “Mochipiko” line.
- “Clear Vanity Pouch – Snow Miku Sky Town 10th ver.-” (2 varieties)
A clear pouch decorated with frills and the 10th-anniversary logo.
- “Noodle Stopper Figure – Snow Miku Sky Town 10th ver.-“
- “Acrylic Stand – Snow Miku Sky Town 10th ver.-” (2 varieties)
A set of cute acrylic stands with an aurora and glitter finish.
The new collection will have a staggered, two-month release.
The “Mochipiko” plush toys and the clear vanity pouches are scheduled to begin their rollout in amusement facilities across Japan this month, in October.
The “Noodle Stopper Figure” and the acrylic stands are scheduled for release in November.
International fans may be able to get hold of the Snow Miku noodle stopper figure in early 2026 from local hobby goods retailers, as many FuRyu figures now receive an overseas release around 2 months after the initial Japanese arcade launch.
