Good Smile Company unveils the final prototype of 2026’s Snow Miku Nendoroid
The fully painted prototype for the 2025 Snow Miku Nendoroid has been officially revealed.
“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 an official Nendoroid figure.
This new Nendoroid is a chibi-style, posable recreation of the winning “Sweet Snow” design for the 2026 season.
The reveal of the fully painted prototype gives fans their first look at the final, colorful version of the highly anticipated annual figure.
Alongside this major reveal, the painted prototypes for two other, new Hatsune Miku figures were also showcased.
The first is the “Hatsune Miku: 100th Adventure Ver.” scale figure.
This figure is based on a special illustration by Miku’s original character designer, KEI, which was created to celebrate the release of the 100th Hatsune Miku figure in the Nendoroid series.
The second is the “Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Ai Sare Nakute mo Kimi ga Iru Ver.”
This Nendoroid is based on her appearance in the music video for the popular song “Because You’re Here” by the producer PinocchioP, which was also the theme for the “Magical Mirai 2020” event.
This reveal of the fully painted prototypes indicates that all three of the new figures are moving closer to their final production stage.
Further details regarding the pre-order periods, pricing, and final release dates are expected to be announced in the near future.
