Orders Open as Exclusive Hatsune Miku Nendoroid Gets Worldwide Release
Good Smile Company has opened pre-orders for a new figure based on the prominent virtual singer, Hatsune Miku.
The “Nendoroid Hatsune Miku Glasses x Cafe Ver.” imagines the iconic vocal synthesizer as a diminutive cafe clerk.
Originally available exclusively as a prize in a Good Smile Company lottery within Japan, this highly anticipated piece is now receiving a worldwide release.
The Nendoroid line is well-known for shrinking familiar characters into highly articulated, palm-sized chibi figures.
These releases are popular with collectors due to their interchangeable face plates and diverse accessories, which provide numerous versatile display options.
As a cornerstone of the Character Vocal Series, Hatsune Miku has remained a fixture of internet culture since her initial debut by Crypton Future Media.
Rather than remaining a static character, she acts as a collaborative avatar for musicians and illustrators, leading to a massive catalog of songs and visual interpretations.
Her recognizable teal twin-tails have been adapted into countless themes over the years, making her a consistent mainstay in the hobby community.
This figure brings an illustration by artist Kuroboshi Kouhaku to life in a stylized, compact format.
Miku is dressed in a classic cafe uniform, complete with a miniature apron and a pair of glasses that emphasize her cheerful expression.
The non-scale plastic figure stands at approximately 10cm in height and includes a dedicated base for secure posing.
Careful attention has been paid to the fine details of her outfit, while the paint application provides a pleasant gradient effect on her flowing hair.
Pre-orders for the “Nendoroid Hatsune Miku Glasses x Cafe Ver.” opened on May 12, 2026 via the Good Smile Company Online Store or via reputable hobby goods retailers, such as HobbyLink Japan.
Fans outside of Japan can secure this figure for 7,200 yen (approx. $46 USD/£36 GBP) before the order period closes on June 17, 2026.
The figure is expected to ship to buyers in September 2026.
