I'd recommend searching for it on eBay or Google and see if anything turns up. There's <a href="http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10106092" rel="nofollow">another figure</a> of this character due for release in a couple of months; it looks similar except she doesn't have the jacket and swaps the gun for a sword.

Is it her distinctiveness? Or is the Vocaloid property just that popular? I guess I wouldn't know if they are, I've never actually seen any of the videos. >> Blowfish My algebra was pretty much the same as yours. XD I was like, "Ehh, dunno anything about the Vocaloid characters. Don't care much about Miku. Really dislike the blonde characters. But she gots a nice gun. And some awesome booty shorts. Booty itself isn't that sexy but she gets an A for showing it off." I do like the scar; I know it sounds messed up but I'll shamelessly admit that injured girls are up there on my list of fetishes. I like bandages more though. Like on that one Rei figure based off the Shunya Yamashita drawing, I was hugely disappointed that Yamato left the bandages off. That figure would've been fifty times better if they'd left them on plus the eye patch. >> meronpan I saw those chains at the store months ago and I thought, "Hey, those look like the chains that I saw on the Black Rock Shooter's promo photos over on Amiami." I tried to think of something a bit more original but my imagination failed me. I'm gonna try to do something a bit more complicated for MF's Miku though. I think the thing I actually dislike about flat chests isn't the body shape but the personality that always seems to go with it. Almost every young-looking, flat chest character I've ever seen is always noisy and hyperactive and ridiculously high-maintenance and consequently annoying as hell. The big boob girls always seem to be much more fun. My new toy budget is limited so I'm going for cheap upgrades wherever I can get them. XD If you've got Photoshop, you can sorta simulate a soft focus effect by doing a Gaussian blur with a radius of like 5, then fading it with an opacity of maybe 50%, and then doing an unsharp mask at like 150-200%. >> Wolfheinrich

I wonder when mine will be shipped ^^ *cough*

I had her on pre-order list originally but had to drop her due to my lack of knowledge of the character in question. The flat chest and scar didn't help her appeal one single bit for me. I guess I am more a bishoujo collector rather than figure collector, and those traits don't belong to a bishoujo. Stop by for the 1/4 Kos-Mos if you are in the mood :P Interesting, nice effect for your shots too, love them.

I wonder if the Black Rock Shooter sings and dances? I'd like to see her dance. >> Leonia Thanks! I like how the glowy eye and the scar sorta give her some character which, being that I don't know whether her designer ever established a background for her, makes her stand out a bit more. >> softz I got this star filter for my camera with the intention of re-doing some of my Haruhi pictures, but that didn't work out so well (not sure if it was the equipment's fault or my fault, but it's most likely the latter), but I saw the star on her jacket and I thought maybe I'd get some interesting results with it here. >> Lylibellule I usually like my figures to be a bit more fully-formed too. Although then again, I do have MF's Miku Hatsune here and she's pretty skinny. I like her jacket a lot, the second version of the figure where she's not wearing her jacket doesn't look as good to me because of that. I surely do support half-naked anime characters but BRS doesn't really have the body to pull it off XD >> Ashlotte Thanks to you too XD >> Lenneth
