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).

The annual Racing Miku design has been announced during the last Winter WonFes, and Nendoroid Racing Miku: 2013 version is available for pre-order today.
The Hatsune Miku GT Project’s 2013 Character Mascot!
A Nendoroid of the 2013 Racing Miku, based on the original illustration and design by saitom!
As usual, a Nendoroid car, a parasol, and an exclusive decal sheet are included in the package.
Officially, the only available courses for international sponsor application at the Good Smile Racing Personal Sponsor website are Course A (10000 Yen) and Course B (30000 Yen) – those are the only packages that includes the Nendoroid. The scheduled release date for the sponsor package is October 2013.
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!

Do you remember about GSC’s collaboration with Tamiya a few months ago? Well, today Mikatan posted a preview of one Nendoroid Petite (out of three) involved in the collaboration project.

This Nendoroid Petite set will be on sale starting tomorrow in several stores in Japan.
Meanwhile …
Nendoroid Sakura Miku
Mikatan has also shed a few details regarding Nendoroid Sakura Miku. Here are a list of the optional parts and accessories to be carried with this adorable Nendoroid:
Mikatan mentioned that the pre-order of this Nendoroid will start tomorrow at 12AM, available on the Japanese GSC Online Shop and GSC x Tetsujin Cafe. Sadly no mention of overseas pre-order, but I guess it should be announced shortly, considering that there are many requests for this Nendoroid coming from outside Japan. XD
Well, what do you think, Nendonesian? ^^
Note: Tomorrow is Hatsune Miku‘s birthday anniversary.
Nendoroid Erica Hartmann
Nendoroid Erica Hartmann now appears in full-color. It looks like she will bring two expressions (smiling and angry) along with her cap, weapon, and a few effect parts as well as her Striker unit.
Strike Witches fans, look forward to her action on early 2013. ^^
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? ^^
