It's been almost half a year ago that we shared with you the strange news that the Kotobukiya bishoujo statue wasn't going to be another pony from MLP:FiM, but in fact a ponified version of Hatsune Miku! The 3-way collaboration (Hasbro, Kotobukiya & Crypton) is part of the MikuWorldCollab project, and quite unique for the world of My Little Pony. A couple of months after that first announcement, we got the see the minimally updated sculpt for the statue, but without any colors.

Earlier this year we got a big surprise when Kotobukiya announced a crossover between their Hatsune Miku and their line of My Little Pony bishoujo statues. It has been quiet for a few months, but over on Twitter they just revealed the concept sculpt of this unique collab.

 

I gotta be honest, I really did not see this one coming but it's true, and I like it. Now that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are up for pre-order it was only a matter of time before we've gotten an announcement for a new upcoming statue, many people were speculating that it might be Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, the CMC or other popular characters from the TV show, but instead it's Hatsune Miku!

This statue is designed by Shunya Yamashita and is part of the large MikuWorldCollab which is a collaboration project between Miku and popular IPs from around the world such as Pusheen, Over Action Rabbit and also My Little Pony! Alongside Hatsune Miku herself she will be bundled with an actual Pony Miku as well which looks really cute in my opinion.

So far no other information has been revealed yet but we'll let you know once images of the Prototype arrive.
