Hello everyone, today I'm unboxing and sharing with you the Racing Miku 2010Ver. Art by Kentaro Yabuki, produced by Max Factory.
A few years ago, to commemorate Hatsune Miku GT Project's 100th race, 11 artists were invited to redraw Racing Miku from her first Race Queen (RQ) iteration up to 2019.
Kentaro Yabuki, creator of "Black Cat" and "To Love-Ru," was responsible for the 2010 Racing Miku.
Speaking of the 2010 Racing Miku, this was the first PVC figure in the Racing Miku series.
Recently, the "POP UP PARADE" series also released a product with this design.
However, whether it was the old PVC figure, Nendoroid, or POP UP PARADE, all chose a design with an overall appearance leaning towards a maintenance technician.
Kentaro Yabuki, when redrawing, chose a Race Queen image with a sports bra and short skirt, which truly caught the eye.
Here are the pictures below.

The outer box design features a racetrack background, giving it an overall sunny and energetic feel.
The side features the original artwork. To be honest, I think the facial accuracy is average, but the overall voluptuousness is wonderfully reproduced.

Although I mentioned earlier that I found the facial accuracy average, it's quite good in terms of aesthetics, and angle limitations are not much of an issue.
The hair features a pearlescent paint application with varying colors, showing different shades depending on the angle.
Even the small details are well-executed.
Perhaps because Kentaro Yabuki drew her with a more voluptuous feel, the overall figure seems to have a touch more allure.
This time, the main figure and the base have no connection points; it simply rests on top.
So, buyers can place it anywhere on the base as they like, or even display it without the base.
By the way, the high-heel design is quite unique, with a strong mechanical feel.
The base has a patterned design, but the style is quite understated.
Perhaps it's to avoid overshadowing the main figure.
That concludes the introduction to the contents.
After all, it's a product based on a design from 13 years ago, so I think it's more about selling nostalgia.
However, with the blessing of Kentaro Yabuki's redraw and a Race Queen outfit that differs from previous designs,
it's still worth considering for those who like Racing Miku.
