Hello everyone, today I'm going to unbox and share F:NEX's Hatsune Miku Midsummer Fireworks Ver. with you all.
This Hatsune Miku figure was a collaboration between F:NEX and POPPRO for her 15th anniversary.
I briefly mentioned POPPRO last year when I unboxed another F:NEX Hatsune Miku, the 2021 Chinese New Year Ver.
Simply put, it's a Chinese Vocaloid-related content submission website, and it's officially authorized by Hatsune Miku.
Although Hatsune Miku's 15th anniversary has long passed, the timing of receiving the product perfectly matches its seasonal theme: Midsummer Fireworks.
And I must say, F:NEX truly puts a lot of effort into their Hatsune Miku figures. Judging by their Miku releases alone, this manufacturer would absolutely not be considered a 'bad' or 'unreliable' company.

Pictures below
The blue and white color scheme of the outer box, adorned with fireworks, evokes a hint of summer.
Contents
The upper layer contains the main figure, twin tails, and base.
The lower layer contains the acrylic background board.
Figure rotation
I think the fidelity is quite high, which is a plus.
However, it's supported by only one leg, and it's not a metal peg, so I recommend using a stand for extra support to prevent it from getting tired and falling over ~XD
Details
The face doesn't have any angle-specific issues.
The hair accessory details are excellent, and the small patterns on the translucent parts are also meticulously crafted.
The signature twin tails use translucent parts with gradient painting, combined with a swaying motion that matches Hatsune Miku's pose, giving it both texture and dynamic appeal.
The light blue kimono features numerous hydrangeas, exuding a full summer vibe.
In addition, musical elements like notes and staves are not forgotten.
The bow ribbon at the waist, made with translucent parts, further enhances visual richness.
The only thing I feel is that the string for the water balloon is too thick; if it could be made with wire, it would likely hold its shape better and be more aesthetically pleasing (just my personal opinion).
The bow garter on the right thigh adds a touch of cuteness.
The tabi socks paired with geta clogs convey a strong Japanese aesthetic.
The base is excellent, making the entire piece feel complete from top to bottom.
You won't look down from the top and suddenly see a plain plastic board, which would make you feel like a PVC base is worse than a prize figure, what the heck...
The water lily next to it can be detached (it's a water lily, not a lotus), and its quality is also decent.
Acrylic background board
I think this background board is very beautiful, which is why I specifically chose a seller that included it when I was looking for pre-orders.
That concludes the unboxing of the contents.
Although this Hatsune Miku figure is related to her 15th anniversary, the connection to the 15th anniversary isn't very apparent, aside from the background board.
However, the figure's design and quality are exceptionally outstanding, and the seasonal theme is also very well executed.
I personally believe it's worth collecting.
