Groove Inc has  announced a limited edition snow version of the Miku pullip from Vocaloid. Groove had already announced the releases of a Miku pullip in April as well as Dals of Rin and Len, rumors have been circulating about a future Luka Pullip as well as a Kaito Taeyang.  I have always been partial to Snow Miku, I have the original nendoroid iteration of her and it is quite possibly my favorite nendoroid. I would be lying if I said that I had not been secretly hoping for a Snow Miku pullip.

Groove first teased us with an adorable illustration of snow Miku in the beginning of February which was quickly followed by somewhat unimpressive promo shots of the doll itself. The doll itself is gorgeous but the pictures they have released of her so far remind more of owner photos taken with a cell phone rather than promotional photos.

It has since been revealed that Snow Miku is going to be limited to 1000 which may seem like a lot until the sheer popularity of Vocaloid  is realized. Reservations started in Sapporo at the 62nd annual Sapporo Snow Festival- Pics from the festival can be seen on Groove’s Blog- link . Snow Miku will not be released until June. For a limited window of time, some additional preorders were available online through Groove’s site I had attempted to navigate through but to no avail (it did not seem to like international shipping ^^;). I had a heard a rumor that an extremely limited number of preorders were open through a Hong Kong shop. I emailed them and was lucky enough to grab one of the preorder slots (just paid my deposit!).

Now begins the long wait until June when Snow Miku gets released.

I can’t wait for her, I just hope they release some additional promo shots in the mean time.
