Wow, that is awesome Danny. Count me in for buying one of the Nendoroid Mirai's when they come available. As for a regular figure, I actually prefer a Bikini Mirai. But, wow, just too cool :) Congrats again and I'm sure you'll be able to forecast 10,000 units.
A bikini-Mirai would be awesome. And I reckon sales wouldn't be a big problem, there a legion of us waiting for a Mirai figure XD
I think the bikini would be the obvious choice.. so just like the MG 100 Gundam, you should do something completely different. I think the maid would be awesome, especially if she is in the pose where she holds a mini statuette of herself. Plus, this wouldnt make us all look like eroge freaks. Booyah.
Bikini would definitely sell if you give it the right face expression. Although nenodroids are cute, I really don't think they will make everyone desire a SD figure.
Sales would not be a problem if you manage to convince the GSC or MaxFac to make and sell a Mirai figurine. A default one would be good though. I would buy one if the quality is acceptable,and the price is reasonable,say 5000+ yen for a 1/8 Mirai.I think the quality of the product would be guaranteed,especially if it's done by MaxFac. I'm awaiting your announcement for a Mirai figurine =D
I think the default "school girl" Mirai would be a better choice. You know how school girl uniforms are a sign of Japan. And Pantsu too. If you ever get them ready, I'm willing to buy!
I simply have no interest in nendoroids, and wouldn't buy one. But would surely buy ANY Mirai-san figure. - preference being Bikini Mirai. - She strikes a pose we haven't seen others do (and looks damn cute doing it), whereas Default Mirai comes pretty close, in pose, to so many others... (she still looks cute though ;)
I'd vote for normal Mirai. although looks like Bikini Mirai has the most votes. ^^; then again, I'd buy whichever Mirai figure that comes out anyway. ^^
I'd prefer a normal or bikini version of her. Maids are cool, but I just feel those two choices fit her better. I never liked nendoroid figures.
For sure if a Mirai figure comes out, I will indeed buy it! I perfer the normal or the maid Mirai ;D
Well I definitely going for the nendroid Mirai, she's so cute. I would like one where she's dress up in Miko though but the default one just looks as nice ^^
I'd like a nendoroid, I find them more appealing being cute & chibi. Too much maid, school girl, bikini blah figures out there. The event & stormtrooper version would be fun to have, since you have cast-off features you like ^^
i confirm will buy and support if release because Mirai-san really cute. i prefer the default or maid or nendoroid Mirai.
Hum I'm not a fan of Nendoroids so I would prefer the default one (school girl) or the Bikini one with cast off included ^^. If any of them or both ever comes out you can count on me to buy them.
i want a nendoroid!
I have to say I don't have alot of use for nendroids in general and this really isn't an exception, however any other style of mirai figure that's made I'll be sure to get.
wow! you got to meet the people behind moeyo and akibablog ^^ @mirai figure count me in to buying your mirai figure ^^ btw, i vote for both the default school uniform, the maid mirai and the bikini mirai :3 the price would be an issue but with a lower price comes high demand even though it would have a limited supply but this way you will know how many people bought the figure and obtain Good Smile's expectations and maybe they will consider producing more at the same price ^^
Jeez, achieving the Otaku dream. Gotta meet you one day if I ever go to Japan. :) @ Mirai-chan figures: I will purchase one no matter what Danny. Even though I said I wouldn't purchase figures I would purchase one to help a dear friend no matter what the figure might be. I'm seriously leaning towards Mirai Maid but everyone is wanting a bikini-clad Mirai so I guess I won't fret too much. :3 P.S.: You gotta write a book on how you succeeded this far just so... I can learn a few things here and there. :P
Danny to some degree I think the figure should be relase right after the anime or manga. I think its hard enough selling 10,000 units of those. I might be wrong. Btw I would definately buy one, and is there one model of Mirai as futeristic cyboryish (not gundums)
Count me in! I was anxiously waiting for some Mirai figure news since August the 15th. ^^ I prefer a Nendoroid version of Mirai, but I certainly have no problem with a regular (school uniform) version of Mirai.
its either maid mirai or a nendoroid one for me as i love all things kawaii. by the way, a maid mirai with a cast off would be really nice.^^
I'd go with the nenodroid version, she'd be quite cute! If it's possible you could have an alternate costume with it (like stormtroper)but I'm pretty sure that couldn't happen for a reasonable price. But no matter what count me as one who would buy her as soon as she was available.
I would pick up a maid Mirai but bikini's are alright with me ;p. 10,000 might be a bit much for figures to be sold but I love the price of 4000 yen, be happier if it was lower lol.
Thanks all ^o^ Demacrez, Will do write ups from time to time ^^ BTW, some of you maybe under the impression that the figure will sell for 10,000 yen - 10,000 is the number of figures I need to sell. The price will probably be from 4000 - 6000 yen.
maid one is best, will surely buy that one if it comes out
I look forward to any figure made. Despite my enthusiasm for figures, I rarely buy them, both due to cost considerations (which will change soon) as well as the fact that most of the really good figures aren't exactly "modest", and therefor off-limits for me. I'll do my best to purchase a Mirai figurine, though. I'm hoping equally for a "default" or a "nendoroid" version. Despite my admiration for the gorgeous new Mirai maid pic I can see at the top of the site (I love it!), I'm not so sure I'd be enthusiastic about a figure version--but I suppose that really depends on how the figure came out. I'd certainly be enthusiastic about a bikini version, but... off-limits for me. I do guess it'd sell better overall, though.
nendroid = chibi? if so nedroid = cheaper than the rest + looks cute ^^ so nendroid ^^
It's great that you're dealing with all these heavyweights of the toy industry! I would definitely buy a Mirai figure... but it would depend which manufacturer produce it, if it's from the Goodsmile group a 'Maid Mirai' would be great cause of their HQ standards it will turn out to be an awesome fig (though I assume, quite pricey), from any other manufacturer a 'default Mirai' would be nice... I don't buy bikini versions unless I'm a HUGE fan of the character (so far I only own one bikini fig), and I pretty much hate nendoroids (except for Saber) xD But you can count with me as a buyer for a Maid/Default Mirai for sure!
will buy any version of mirai but prefer default xD . bikini wise, maybe if is gasaphon i'll get :P
danny, if you are really going sell the unit i would definately buy it. but i am at singapore, are you able to ship it over to us at overseas ? btw, a maid would be nice, bikini is too flashy for me and my friend might call me a pervert for that lol even though i like bikini too.
I am definately for the default or bikini. Not a big fan of nendroid. I would buy any of them though, especially if cast-off.
Would buy any Mirai-chan version, as far as the figure(s) respects Azamiyuko-sensei works :D looks like there are a lot of leaning figures on GSC display :( Especially the iDOLMASTER ones ;_;
I'll be able to buy one as long as it's imported to a store like Kid Nemo or something. Otherwise I'm not allowed to make orders overseas ^^; but anyway I've been thinking about collecting Nendroids for a while. I may start this school year, since I don't have time for Gundam building anymore. I would probably go with a standard Mirai in some dazzling pose first, and then get the swimsuit version.
I've never taken a liking to nendoroid figures. Although some may be cute I just can't see myself buying one. That said, I'd love to buy a school-girl Mirai. ^^
Danny... Definitively i'd love to see Mirai dressed up as maid and if is it possible with glasses too... What do you think?
Any Mirai figure would be fine, but it seems Bikini Mirai is getting the most picks. Btw, Danny, wouldn't it be possible to have the figure be sold at shops like Aso Bit, Animate, Hobby Figure,... ? Even in small quantities. 10000 to sell is a lot,just through the site (even if you have 70000 views at max). But I guess you'd have to do some advertising for those shops. Maybe a doujin/manga of Mirai would help sales in the Akiba shops (or any other place Nakano) ;p. (you might include a cameo appearance of the storm trooper in the manga ;p)
I will definately put in an order the second it's available. As for which one to choose..hmm..normally i would say the Bikini version for aesthetic appeal, but i think the Default one would be nicest, not only was it the first design, but it seems to be her standard costume so i recon it would be a good place to start ^_^
i wonder if china will try to make boot leg copirs of it O.o
Hi Danny...don't have any bikini figures yet so...Mirai bikini would be a nice one to start :D . Looks hot. Can imagine that the production costs would be staggering. Maybe just a "limited edition" version is an option: limited edition always turns people on ("greed is good" haha) so you could ask more. Anyway, love the site, keep it up!!!
I'm abit worried that the Bikini Ver.'s towel would snap off too easily...and the Maid Ver. would be complicated and costly...so i guess starting off with the default school uniform(orange) would be the best.
I'd be interested in a bikini or nendoroid Mirai - figures in seifuku tend to bore me unless I really like the facial design or there's an interesting pose. But if the Mirai figure has a great pose I reckon she'll sell well regardless of whether it's the bikini or uniform version really =)
Mirai-chan gonna go 3D! For me, i would prefer Mirai-chan in seifuku considering it's her first PVC or is it not? Either way, i go for the normal look first then if sales are good, go do Mirai-chan with more costumes or awesome poses.
I want her in bikini! ^^;;;;
I'll have to say the bikini model would do best. Since I deal with anime wholesalers here in the US along with Good Smile Company, I would stock up on Mirai figures in a heartbeat.
Dang, Definately default! would be more easier to recognize ;p though bikini would be good too!
What is sue is that I'll never buy any Nendoroid figure !
i prefer bikini followed by maid followed by schoolgirl. :p
Dang! I thought I was gonna choose default, but my naughty mouse moved over to the bikini xD well, either way is good as long as I can get a hand on her when she's out.. Heheh~ It sure is going to sell~
being a resin whore, I probably wouldn't be interested in a normal Mirei. May be interested in a nendoroid tho...
Sorry this is so late: I also liked what some people said about starting with the default and working through different costumes/poses. If you give the majority what they want up front, they may not come back for more later (no way, that's just wrong, YOU GOTTA GET 'EM ALL!)
You guys are crazy, why the "bikini"! the "default" outfit or even the "maid" would be better! Even though I am not the biggest fan on this site I would most likely get the figure!
Maid FTW! And best of luck to you and the figure dealings.
Polo bikini Mirai plz.
This sounds great Danny. How could networking get anymore pleasurable. I really need to get my ##@s in gear, wouldn't mind getting invited to meeting like these. I guess you where invited because of the prominence of your website and figure reviews? I would go with maid first... ^^; Like that one should come as a surprise. Then again AndyH's nendoroids would look great as figures.
