New mini figures let you experience Hatsune Miku’s “ART OF MIKU” contemporary art exhibition at home
A new series of collectible figures has been announced, which will transform contemporary artworks of Hatsune Miku into palm-sized statues.
The new products, created by Good Smile Company, are based on pieces from the “ART OF MIKU” project.
This is an ongoing initiative where a variety of contemporary artists create new works that reinterpret the virtual singer and the “co-creation” culture that surrounds her, using mediums like painting, sculpture, and digital art.
This new release focuses on the contributions of the artist Maho Takahashi.
Takahashi is an artist who bases much of her work on her own childhood, and she works from a unique studio: the abandoned nursery school she once attended in her hometown in Chiba Prefecture.
Three of her artworks of Hatsune Miku from the exhibition have now been faithfully recreated as miniature figures, designed to capture the unique atmosphere of the original pieces.
The new collection is titled “Artist Collab Figure: Hatsune Miku x Takahashi Maho.”
The full lineup of the three different figures is as follows:
- “Miku-chan!!”
- “Chan-Miku!!”
- “Masayume”
This collaboration offers fans a new way to experience the “ART OF MIKU” project, translating the world of gallery art into an accessible, collectible format.
Each of the three different figures is priced at ¥3,000, and pre-orders for the new figure collection can now be placed via the official Good Smile Company online store until the 3rd of September.
