Hatsune Miku’s Infamous Shiteyanyo Meme Is Getting Its Own Official Action Figure
Image by James RichardsonOne of the strangest pieces of Hatsune Miku internet history is officially becoming an action figure, with Kaiyodo confirming that Shiteyanyo will join its Revoltech line.
Shiteyanyo is instantly recognizable for turning Miku’s famous turquoise twin-tails into enormous walking legs beneath her head, creating the deliberately bizarre appearance that helped it spread across Japanese fan-art communities during the early 2010s.
Shiteyanyo was originally created by artist Ryusei in February 2010, before the design quickly inspired a wave of fan artwork built around the same surreal “hair-leg” concept.
The character’s popularity grew even further after artist Deino launched the “Shiteyanyo Kakanai ka” project, helping turn what began as an unusual fan creation into one of the more memorable memes connected to Hatsune Miku’s enormous online community.
Kaiyodo’s newly revealed Revoltech version keeps that distinctive appearance intact, including the oversized blue twin-tail legs and the character’s strange facial expression.
Early footage of the figure in action shows multiple articulation points running through the legs, which should give collectors considerably more posing freedom than Shiteyanyo’s simple design might initially suggest.
Though fans probably thought they’d never see a Shiteyanyo action figure enter production, it is a particularly good fit for Revoltech, as Kaiyodo’s action figure line has historically covered everything from major anime characters to deliberately unusual subjects that benefit from expressive articulation.
The infamous Miku meme has been seen in figure form in the past, with Taito releasing a mini trading figure version back in 2015, but the new Revoltech release is set to be the most impressive rendition of the iconic character to date.
Kaiyodo has not yet revealed the complete accessory lineup, price or release date, but the company confirmed on September 7, 2026 that reservations will begin soon and that additional information will follow.
