Still cannot make up your mind about getting this Nendoroid? Well, now you might be able to consider for applying as personal sponsor for Good Smile Racing, as there are more official photos of Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2013 version posted in her official page.
The first official press photo of Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2013 version has been posted by GSC. The new Racing costume looks great, although in my opinion, it kinda looks like a mix of Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Append version and the previous Racing Miku Nendoroids.
Unfortunately, there are not photo of the optional expressions and accessories – the parasol and Nendoroid car – but I guess it should be available shortly.
For you who wanted to get her, you have to “apply” for select sponsorship package, which is available at Good Smile Racing Global website starting on March 21 (18:00 JST) until May 7 (12:00 JST).

Hatsune Miku in racing-themed outfits or widely known as Racing Miku, gets a new design annually. This year’s design was revealed at the Winter WonFes 2013 (or the NicoNico broadcast, for non-Japan residents).
Obviously, it is also followed by the Nendoroid design, albeit merely as an early illustration rather than full-fledged design, as you can see in the pic above.
Here is the original illustration for comparison sake:
Well, what do you think about the design early illustration of Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2013 version, Nendonesian? ^^

GSC and GSR announce a re-run of Nendoroid Racing Miku 2010 version and Nendoroid Racing Miku 2011 version today. Both of them come under new names too (and a few minor differences).
Sadly, Nendoroid Racing Miku 2010 Version Returns will include the decals only, but not the Nendoroid car. Apart from that, she is pretty much the same as the first release.
Nendoroid Racing Miku 2010 Ver. is back once again!
The special racing version of Hatsune Miku, ‘Racing Miku’ is coming back again in her 2010 version. Decals for a Nendoroid car with the colors used in the 2010 racing season are also included. (Note the car itself is not included, only the decals.)
She is scheduled for December release, and the pre-order will start from 20:00 on the 20th September (today) until 20:00 on the 9th October at NicoNico Chokuhan.
So you have been praying for a re-run on Nendoroid Racing Miku 2011 version? Well, it seems that your prayer has been answered: Good Smile Racing is going to have the lovely Racing diva returns with a new name: Nendoroid Racing Miku 2011 Version Returns.
Apparently, Miku will bring along an all-new championship trophy in this re-sale version. However, there are no other changes aside from the new name prefix and the trophy.
Nendoroid Racing Miku 2011 Ver. is back once again!

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: RQ version
Earlier today, Mikatan’s blog was taken over by Wakamizu, a member of the WEB team in GSC. His first ever blog post is about how Good Smile Racing and Racing-themed Hatsune Miku Nendoroid were born.
Well, I won’t write much about it, as it has been explained pretty well there in Mikatan’s blog, so head over there to read them, okay? ^^

Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2011 version
Since 2009, Good Smile Company (GSC) and its racing team Good Smile Racing (GSR) have been annually releasing a racing-themed Hatsune Miku, including its Nendoroid version.
Last year, Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2011 version was released on October bearing a brand new design for Miku’s racing queen outfit, which was somehow seen as controversial for some fans of the virtual diva.
Well then, enough with the introduction, let’s go directly to the review, shall we? ^^
UPDATE: The itasha‘s decals have been installed. See the pics below. XD
Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2012 version
The pics for minified Race Queen diva have been teased to us several times previously, albeit in the low-res screencaps off NicoNico live broadcast.
Well, now you can see the official pics in Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2012 version‘s official page, thanks to some updates by GSC.
Nendoroid Petit Racing Miku, Rin, and Luka (2011 version)
Mikatan has finally announced Nendoroid Petit Racing Miku: 2011 version officially today. Similar to the previous racing-themed Vocaloid Petits, this set also has Racing Rin and Luka to accompany Miku.
So … what’s inside? The winning trophy, a bottle of champagne, a pull-back car and the podium stage are included in the package. It looks pretty loaded there, doesn’t it? XD
Another expression and some optional body parts for Miku
Miku gets a special treatment here, as she will also come with an optional second expression as well as a couple of optional body parts (and umbrella). ^^
Kindly visit Mikatan’s blog to see more pics of this adorable set of Nendoroid Petits. Anyway, Mikatan mentioned that the set will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow. I hope this set is a regular release though. XD

Nendoroid Petit Racing Vocaloid 2011 set
Since 2009, Good Smile Company Racing has always produced a Racing-themed Nendoroid Hatsune Miku and a set of Nendoroid Petit Racing Vocaloid – consisting of Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, and Megurine Luka in racing-themed outfit. When they announced Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2011 version, I assumed that the Petit version would have followed shortly after. I was mistaken, as they did not announce anything at all regarding the Petit in 2011.
Well, it seems that GSR were waiting for the GT victory to announce the good news. Yep, Nendoroid Petit Racing Vocaloid 2011 Set was finally announced today yesterday, at GSC’s live NicoNico broadcast. The set consists of Nendoroid Petit Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, and Megurine Luka, all in their 2011 Racing outfit. The winning trophy, a bottle of champagne, and the Petit-sized Miku BMW are also included in the package, as well as second expression for Miku and the usual umbrella(s). I have no idea whether the podium stage will also be included or not, though. XD
More pics of other Nendoroid displayed at the broadcast can be seen after the break. ^^
Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2011 version
As mentioned in the official release date, Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2011 version has finally been released yesterday … and apparently it has been shipped to the desks of some Japanese folks today. Skip past the break to view more pics of the latest Miku to join your Nendoroid army. ^^
