Vocaloid Characters

Vocaloid characters have developed as a spin-off from the immensly popular synthesiser application originally produced by Yamaha.  The Vocaloid application allows users to create synthesised music and lyrics by typing the words and melody into the software interface to produce original compilations. The “voices” have been created from real human voices and when tone and pitch, amongst other variables, are manipulated, a whole new persona is made.  It is the creation of these singing “personas” that has led to the emergence of the Vocaloid characters.

Popular Vocaloid Characters: Hatsune Miku

One of the most popular Vocaloid characters is Hatsune Miku fr0m the Character Vocal Series 1.  In becoming a  beloved vocaloid character, Miku also finds herself as the protagonist in a popular Manga series created by Kei Garo, the graphical artist who created her original image.

Modelled on the exact sketch from the original software packaging, this gorgeous PVC figure is replicated in wonderful detail. Miku’s lovely long legs are displayed to best effect in thigh high boots and the detail in her outfit is extraordinary. Every pleat and fold is perfectly crafted to create a sense of movement.

This beautiful piece is perfect for collectors or those who  appreciate the artistry of anime and whilst not exactly a toy to be played with, this figurine is robust enough to withstand a knock or two.

Speaking of robust, this 1/7 scale figurine comes well protected in the retail packaging and includes a stand for display.

Height: approx 220mm
