Hatsune Miku “Vintage Doll” Noodle Stopper figure revealed by FuRyu
Prize figure manufacturer FuRyu has announced a new Hatsune Miku figure for its “Noodle Stopper” product line.
“Noodle Stopper Figures” are a popular category of collectible prize figures in Japan, primarily available through crane games and other arcade machines.
They are designed with a specific, practical function in mind: their size and weight are perfectly engineered to sit on top of a cup of instant noodles, holding the paper lid down while the contents cook.
This unique purpose leads to the figures being sculpted in various sitting or lounging poses, which also allows them to be easily displayed on the edge of shelves or desks.
This new figure features the world-famous virtual singer Hatsune Miku, reimagined in a “vintage doll” aesthetic.
The design, based on artwork by the popular illustrator Onineko, depicts Miku in a luxurious and classical outfit.
The sculpt features intricate details, such as delicate frills on the clothing.
Special attention has also been paid to the detailed sculpting of her signature twintail hairstyle, which is finished with a soft gradient color effect.
The figure joins a long and successful line of Noodle Stopper products from FuRyu, which have featured characters from a wide array of popular anime and video game franchises.
FuRyu has stated that the new Hatsune Miku Noodle Stopper figure is scheduled to be rolled out in arcades across Japan in December 2025.
The figure will be available from third party hobby goods retailers internationally around 1-2 months later in early 2026, with prices normally around $25 USD to $40 USD depending on the retailer.
