Over past 1 year, Vocaloid have been having some close relationship with Gundam series resulting in frequent collaboration of Hatsune Miku with Gundam IP. This appears to be Bandai's attempt to reach out for younger audiences. But just like many of their botched attempts this one will end up attracting Gundam fanbase in the 30s demography. We have been getting some interesting Gundam themed miku merchandise including Banpresto Prize Figures and Bandai Gunpla, but this one by Megahouse gotta be the most expensive one yet. Using Wing Gundam series as source material we will have Hatsune Miku Scale Figure incorporating Wing Gundam aesthetics as part of Megahouse Lucrea lineup. Scheduled for June 2026 release, Lucrea Hatsune Miku Wing Zero EW will be sold for 25000 Yen.
Given that Wing Gundam got a new homage animation, this is a right time to release Wing Gundam themed Hatsune Miku figure. Being one of the Japan's Iconic pop culture for almost 2 decades, Miku have been the recipient of many Scale figure over the span of this period numbering over thousands. But Miku's collaboration with Gundam series might be a breath of fresh air.
Given some of the more popular Gundam series haven't got represented by Miku yet, we could expect some more Vocaloid x Gundam products. I wonder if other Vocaloids might have a turn in this collab considering Luka and Kagamine twins could use some.
