Nendoroid Kaname Madoka: Maiko version and Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Yukata version Natsutsubaki will be available for purchase exclusively on several events outside Japan starting from today. I guess Mikatan will preview Miku tomorrow, but for today, she gets her hands on the maiko Madoka.
This news pretty much comes as a surprise yesteday, as GSC announced that Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Yukata version Natsutsumaki and Nendoroid Kaname Madoka: Maiko version will be on sale exclusively at several events outside Japan.
Nendoroid Hatsune Miku is back in an elegant yukata once again!
From the ‘Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku’ comes a Nendoroid of Hatsune Miku wearing a all-new red yukata! The lovely yukata has a design which makes use of the ‘natsutsumaki’ flower, and her famous twin-tails are just as cute as ever! Even during the hot summer, Miku is ready to perform for everyone!
She comes with three different expressions including a standard smiling face, a charming winking expression and a chibi drooling face for all the delicious food she’ll find during the Summer festivals! She also comes with some extra items to ensure she has fun at the festival, including a candy apple and a balloon yo-yo!
This lovely Miku in summer Yukata is priced at 3200 Yen.
Nendoroid Kaname Madoka is back, but now she is dressed as a maiko (apprentice geisha), officially called as Nendoroid Kaname Madoka: Maiko version.

Optional parts include a Grief Box as well as two Japanese umbrella parts. She also comes with alternate sitting parts, which you can use together with the gentle expression to create a cute bowing pose. It’s a different appearance for Madoka, but one that fans are sure to enjoy!

Bootleg (fake) vs original (authentic)
GSC has posted yet another bootleg comparison of some Nendoroid. The featured Nendoroid are: Nendoroid Kaname Madoka, Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Absolute HMO Edition, and Nendoroid Dead Master, versus their bootleg counterparts. Out of those three, I personally have difficulties to distinquish between Nendoroid Kaname Madoka and her bootleg version. Well, gotta be careful to purchase Nendoroid from untrusted stores. XD
Anyway, feel free to visit the source pages for more pics and info (in Japanese XD) about the comparison. ^^
