Vocaloid Merchandise

First off, major lulz at the packaging of the BRS character charm that came with the August Issue of Hobby Japan. Take a Look.This is insanely small.

the black rock shooter anime will be available in DVD and Blu-Ray in two versions. The standard version is 2,000 yen on HobbySearch and includes BRS Blu-Ray and a 36 page color illustration book by Yuusuke Matsuo and Huke. The limited edition version is a bit more pricy at 4,000 yen, but comes with a nendoroid petite set of Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master in addition to what was listed above. Both versions will come with the 50 minute OVA (subtitles in 7 languages), a 30 second stop-motion promotional short, and 13 minutes video showing the making of the short.The stop-motion short will contain a remix of the BRS song by Linkin Park's Joe Hahn. The video was apparently made in hollywood.

You can pre-order both versions at HobbySearch.


The Hatsune Miku Tony ver. by Max Factory was set out for pre-orders a week or two ago, and the wait is pretty long - January 2011. The 1/7 scale PVC figurine will cost a hefty 8,381 yen (About $96 USD), although if you get it at HobbySearch, you can get it at 15% off for 7,123 yen (About $81.50 USD). This doesn't include shipping, but do check it out if you're up for this.
