This is the first Cheerful Japan figure I want. The brighter colors seem to be based on the Live Stage version that was sold at Wonderfest back in 2009. I have both the regular and Live Stage versions, but I don't mind adding a third to my collection, that new face is adorable.

Oh, and shipping on these is usually a flat rate so if you can get in on a group buy you'll save a lot that way. They allow 5 per person so that's at least 400 yen for shipping plus domestic shipping which will save quite a bit.

If they're doing Miku based on the Nendoroid version then I can only hope the next figure after her is a figma of Gumako.

shipping fee seems a little overpriced, I dont see why they want to ship straight from japan when they have US distributors they mail stuff to every month

I'll be at Otakon when these go on sale, so I'll have to pay for mine around 8/2 or so.

The shipping is high because it's EMS which only takes a few days to arrive. You can always do like others do and buy two which not only saves on shipping (flat rate) and then sell the spare on eBay for $60 and make back the shipping.

That would actually cost more... Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop Have you seen the asking price on eBay for the Nendoroid version? $75 to $125 plus shipping.
