Wup, here comes yet another advertising campaign using Miku, as if there wasn't enough already.

Racing Miku 2015 looks damn nice. I can't wait to see GSC's figure of her.

Actually, like Snow Miku, we've had GSC's Racing Miku every year for the past four years, and it's become tradition.
(Always wondered what that was for, since it wasn't from any of the game videos.)

Although, frankly, I liked her nice classic spandex cyber-race-queen look in '11, that was included in the game.
There's a place for Fantasy-Warrior Miku, but it's not racing. Confused

Sword-fighting and racing don't seem to match together well...
However, Miku does look epic with her new racing outfit. Smile

Jousting, not swordfighting, from the looks of it. Which makes somewhat more sense.

Yeah, that's true. In that case, I want her on some kind of hybrid horse-car thing.

Or at least turn the GS logo into some kind of hybrid-horse/car logo on her shield.
(Not the Crest of the Leek, though, which might suggest she was a Welsh knight.) Razz

Yeah, I was so mad when I got the previous winter-themed Miku plush and found out about Snow Miku just a few weeks later. It looks so much better.

If you don't like her as a knight it's easily remedied. The lance she's holding is actually her parasol rolled up. The figures will certainly include the opened parasol as the previous teaser image indicates so just display her with that and hide the shield.

Anyone else think she looks like a Valkyria Chronicles character?
