Hello all,
Today we will take a look at a very special nendoroid; racing Miku 2017. Goodsmile racing releases every year several supporters courses to personal sponsors to fund their racing team. The courses cost varies from 8000 yen to 70000 yen. Each course has their rewards, and the bigger the donation the more items you get. This nendoroid is included in all the courses.
The box
This Nendoroids box is twice the size of the size of the regulair Nendoroid. This years theme was a fairy. Personally I don't get the link between car racing and a fairy so I doubted a long time before I purchased her. In the end I gave in to this very cute design of ''Tony''. The box has a similar fairy themed style which is pretty neat, but I don't like the circle design on the back and the side of the box so much.
The box's contents
The box comes with a Nendoroid, a pair of wings, a trofee, an extra face, an extra leg, four extra arms, a bouquet and a car with steering wheel, stand and decals for the car. (You get two set of decals in case you are having trouble with applying them. Personally i rather have that the decals where pre-painted on the car since the decals generally have a messier look, and are quite hard to put on.
The car
The car is about 5 cm high and 12 cm long. Like mentioned before the decals give it quite a messy look. The flower design of the car is nice though. The car holds a pin to display miku on, however because the stick is wider than the hole in the Nendoroid, you will have to apply quite some force to get it in. Because of this issue several people reported the problem of the lower half falling of after being displayed in her car.
The nendoroid
This nendoroid has a cuteness overload. I like the color scheme of the Nendoroid. The whole outfit is quite detailed. I think the hair is really well done, from the gradient to the details of the bangs. Also I like the hair accessoires (I guess they are headphones?). The one-sided flowering in her hair is nice although it could use some shading to make it pop more. Her outfit is detailed, however there are quite some paint appliance errors. I only wished that the logo and good smile racing text would be decals too, I definitely would have left them of this Nendoroid. Also the ''sponsoring'' on her back is a bit too much (in my opinion). The wings look cute, however I would prefer it if there was added a less ''graphic'' design. Now the wings don't quite match up with the cuteness of the rest of the nendoroid.
Posing time!
The Final verdict
This nendoroid is super cute, however she is quite expensive. If you have enough funds to get her, i would definitely recommend her, however if the cuteness justifies the price tag is up to you to decide.
She is currently available on Solaris Japan and can be found through this link:
