Tokyo Otaku Mode.
The Team UYKO Super GT 300 race team went to Thailand last year and their sponsor Good Smile Racing, the subsidiary company of Good Smile Company adapted the Hatsune Miku mascot for the warmer climate. Now Racing Miku: Thailand Version is getting her own 1/8-scale figure from FREEing, and coffee cups and sports towels.
The figure depicts a tanner Miku sitting in in a folding chair and white bikini. Her twintails are shorter. On her arm, "Good Smile Racing" is painted.
The figure costs 10,000 yen (US$83) and will ship in April.
The design varies significantly from Koyama Shigeto and illustrator Taiki's original image. The original design is used on the coffee mug and sports towel while Racing Miku 2015 is getting a mouse pad and wall scroll.
Cafe Reo shops will stock the additional merchandise beginning in November.
Racing Hatsune Miku was also adapted for the racing circuit in Malaysia, with the Sepang version.
