Aside from the voting for Nendoroid Snow Miku: 2014 version, there are bigger news there: a couple of Vocaloid Nendoroids as part of Happy Kuji Summer 2013 version campaign by GSC and FamilyMart. Wow!

GSC has setup a campaign to promote their newly announced Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Selection a few days ago, that says:
We are currently running a special Twitter campaign as a part of the recent announcement for Nendoroid Petite: Hatsune Miku Selection. If we manage to reach 3939 tweets that include the #nenpuchi_mikusele hashtag, a special set of Twitter skins including a background, icon and header image will be released for everyone to enjoy!
… and yesterday, it has reached more than 2000 tweets, so GSC has decided to release 3 out of 6 Twitter themes (or skins, as they called it) to be used to decorate your Twitter profile page.
Well, what are you waiting for? Head directly to the source page to download the cute Twitter themes.
P.S: We chose the Aku no Musume (Daughter of Evil) theme for our Twitter profile. XD

Mikatan said that she will reveal the remaining characters every Friday though. XD
Anyway, the Petite set will come as either 500 Yen for each Petite, or a box of 12 Petites, priced at around 6000 Yen.

Both of them are sold separately for 3500 Yen and scheduled for June 2013 release.
You can also pre-order them at Good Smile Online Shop, with the orders can be placed between January 8th (12:00 JST) until February 6th (21:00 JST).

Nendoroid Kagamine Rin: Append version and Nendoroid Kagamine Len: Append version are the first Nendoroid previewed by Mikatan on 2013. The Append version of these Kagamine twins have been teased since a few weeks ago, when they were still no more than uncolored prototypes.
Append Rin and Len will come with three faceplates: both of them have the smiling and winking expressions and one unique face for each. Rin will get the begging expression while Len will have the confident expression.
A special arm, stand, and a Append-themed background board will also be included for us to display them together. See them in action on Mikatan’s blog!
… oh, and both of them will be up for preorder from January 8th!

The official title for the event is: Good Smile Lottery: Hatsune Miku 2012 Winter version, and as you have known, it features several interesting goodies as its prizes.
As the campaign will officially start tomorrow, Mikatan has taken a time to preview the prizes on her blog.

Mikatan and her co-host, along with representatives from SEGA, Crypton, Famitsu, and Family Mart were having a live Nico Nico broadcast earlier, dubbed as Hatsune Miku’s Time: 3rd Period … although we have mostly known what they are going to cover there, ahead of the broadcast. XD
Nevertheless, the broadcast was fun and entertaining, and we’ve got some screencaps to share with you here.

Yep, it seems that the rumor is true after all: the 30cm-tall Nendoroid Jumbo Miku and Santa Miku will be available as Goodsmile’s Christmas Lottery event Prize A and B, respectively.
Interestingly, the other lottery prizes have also been revealed. See them all after the break – and prepare your wallet. XD

Bootleg Nendoroid Kagamine Rin and Len (Cheerful version)
Counterfeit (a.k.a bootleg, fake, etc) Nendoroid’s rapid growth is indeed getting even worse lately with the introduction of a bootleg Nendoroid pair: Nendoroid Kagamine Rin: Cheerful version and Nendoroid Kagamine Len: Cheerful version.
Both of them are starting to pop up in some popular auction sites and you can see the pics after the break.

Miku, Rin, and Len
Shanghai branch of Good Smile Company quietly posted three Nendoroid that are going for a re-sale, i.e: Nendoroid Hatsune Miku, Nendoroid Kagamine Rin, and Nendoroid Kagamine Len. It seems that the demand for these three Nendoroid are still high despite the fact that they already have the supposedly-superior Cheerful versions. XD
Anyway, this three Nendoroid re-sale are scheduled for release on July. Note that the re-sale is only available for some retailers, so your fave figure stores might or might not get it. XD
