The majority of people are probably baking under the summer heat now. How we long to have ice and snow that don't melt. Today, we received such an ice statue from Nendoroid. Cool and crystalline, Snow Miku brings the sparkles and the snow flakes with her. We still have a very limited number of her figures not presold yet, but they'll be gone if you don't grab her soon!

Last year, in the Sapporo Snow Festival, an ice statue of Miku was made. To celebrate her completion, Good Smile released this crystalline, Chibi-fied version of her.

Her package comes with her smile, singing expression and the dotty eyed Hatchune Miku face parts and an icy leek. You can also change her right arm, hand and feet parts for more poses.

For the first time in Nendoroid history, figure makers used semi opaque materials. The white and blue, semi-transparent plastic at the tips of her hair brings out the clean, purity of snow, and showed the small details such as the snow flakes embedded in her hair.

The festival is over, but the fun continues well into summer. Miku will never melt and stay forever cool:
