Figma Mirai Progress
Just got this photo from Good Smile Company - progress of the Mirai Figma. Am sooo excited!
These parts now have to be sanded down and then have holes drilled in the limbs so that the figma joints can fit in.
Once thats done, we are going to make another clone which is kept for emergencies. The original will then be painted.
Once its been painted, we have whats known as the Decoration Master or "Decomas" [デコマス] - will need another 3 weeks to get to the Decomas stage.
Once we have the Decomas, we will take the usual pre-order photos and then send it over to the factory in China. Dont have a release date yet but will be another 6 months before shes on sale.
I don't expect everybody to buy one but for those who will then give me an indication in the poll - need to know roughly how many to make ^^ Retail price should be 2,500 yen.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

so sry danny, no get cause i dun collect figures at all.
but how come the retail price is rather low as compared to others? and how come u can just ask them how many to craft(?) since it's their side company? izzit like u're expecting pple to buy only if they frequentdc.com?
sry for the barrage of questions. just another curious hito.
Student, Otaku, She-Geek(Sheek lol)
http://meimi132.wordpress.com/
Cos its cute, I bet lotsa people would want it. Folks don't just buy figures cos they know the characters, I sure as heck didnt when I first started collecting. That came later. With knowledge. lol
university film student | ecchikid | the Archivist
http://www.vimeo.com/longhim
I'm not sure what you mean by a low price - 2500 is exactly what they charge for most figmas. The only ones more expensive are those that come with a huge bunch of accesores (i.e. Yuki Evil Witch ver., Fate T. Testerossa - though I doubt you know what I'm referring to if you don't collect).
Figmas, being posable little things and non-scale, are never as expensive as their scaled, static, but much more detailed and jointless counterparts.
He's asking for an estimate, because, well, quite frankly we're the largest market and target audience for Mirai figmas. I'm sure there will be people who buy her even if they don't know her for her looks, but in the end most of the market will come from visitors to this site.
By asking, Danny can get a rough estimate of how big the batch should be.

I'm pretty sure only a couple hundred people will vote here since there's a lot of lurkers around. That being said, I'm not sure if I'll get one until more details come out so I didn't vote ^^; Need to look at pre-production pictures to see if it's worth the dough. Unless Danny will upgrade us to VIP status if we own a Mirai figma, that might change my mind lol

Not counting doubles, I think that's 18! Oh wait, 19, I have Chouyuusha Haruhi as well. Need to get Saber Lily at some point, as well as some form of Shana... ;)
Yes, there IS a reason my occupation reads "figma Collector" ;)
Otaku, US Army, Student (Political Science)
http://figure.tsuki-board.net/profile/Syaoran
^^ Oh right Nagato, I'll get her eventually. Thanks for reminding me! The two PS2 Collector Figmas I'll probably never touch because that's just too expensive for a figma.
I have to say I prefer the Red Hair'd Shana over the black.
University's Slave
I'm also skipping the PS2 exclusive Figmas for the same reason.
And I like the red hair for Shana better too. That bright color with that transparent effect is such epic coolness it is not to be refused!

Mirai does look somewhat similar to Makina Hohimura - http://www.goodsmile.info/detail/eng/2327/figma+Makina+Hohimura.html

Oooh that's a good idea, she can have the glasses she has like in one of those front page images! Meganekko FTW!
流浪人
She needs a tare-Danny shirt, too... ^^
University's Slave
She needs to come with a figure of herself, just like the maid pose that sometimes shows up on the front page has.
And I agree, they are rather similar. In fact, I was vaguely toying with the idea of making Hohimura into a custom Mirai until this post came out. XD

tare-Danny shirt, glasses, trooper outfit . . .Sounds GREAT!

Although I'm not a big fan of figma, I may give mirai a try. I just have one concern when I looked at the original 3D design posted last December. I felt her legs, particularly shinbones, appeared to be over-bent in those side views.
University's Slave
All Figmas have rather concave shins. However, they look fine in person so long as you don't hyper-extend the knees when posing them.
Anything interesting... that's what I do.

Might have to get multiples and paint them yourself if you want the pallate-swap Mirai colors... then again, if she's popular... I mean, how many different versions of Haruhi are there in the figma world? Chouyuusha, Winter seifuki, Cheerleader, Summer seifuku... hmm a figma of Haruhi from the Day of Sagittarius III ep would be cool...

Hey Danny, Mirai's hair is kinda long, is it going to be segmented like Tsuruya and Konata? Also, will she have a figma stand hole in her hair like those two and Miyuki? If not, you may want to recommend it ^^ Also, you might want to see if they can hook up a *kira* hand as well ;)

I've been wanting to get a figma for a little while now, but I'm definitely gonna hold off and get my first ever figma from you!

MUST GET ONE.....

Wow. Just...... wow. :D
To have a creation of yours (commercially) immortalized in such a form...... that's just plain awesome. And you certainly deserve it, Danny, seeing as how far you've gotten now.
Count on me nabbing one of these when they're released! ^_^ Six months is more than enough time to save up for it! ^_^
NEET
Would probably get it. Hopefully could ship outside of Japan~
Now.... where is the nendo version?
awesome
MIRAI FTW
Nekophilia
Can't say.. Need to look the end product. Wallet is bery tight nowadays..

I sure will order one if shes available from the places I order from. Ordering things direct from Japan isn't an option for me yet which is why I've been using Play-Asia with their no hassle order method.
All I can say is that getting Mirai into a Figurine is a truly AWESOME feat.
University Student
I'm still on the fence until I see the finished product, but what would really push me head-over-heels is if there was a Mirai nekomimi and tail option like in Ionized's 3D pic here: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3111271705_7f6ef196fc_o.png
Is there ANY chance this might happen? *Pleading look* =^_^=

Definetely GET! I can't believe you actually got them to make it. This'll be my first figma then ^^
http://sparklingzone.blog124.fc2.com/
Omg I can't wait! I never imagined that'd it'd become real. Yeah, I remember the old post with the 3D model, but I'm bad at telling when people are joking or being serious... so I didn't know what to expect. XD But yeah, I'd definitely buy one!
DO WANT. Will definitely buy whenever it's released! :D

Would get one, so long as it's somewhere that's friendly shipping to the UK (and knows what's necessary to avoid customs charges!) - don't fancy getting a £12 customs charge like I do ordering from some places ;_;

>:O i really want this Figma! I'll find some way to get her! well everyone on DC will probably get her, plus people who see a new cute GSC Figma.. maybe about 400 to 500 of her should be made? specially since you may get new members who want a Mirai Figma, and you'll get people buying multiple Mirai, but i couldn't really say even 500 might be to low xD

Definite GET!

i will very much welcome her to my Figma family! sooner the better!

I figure that by the time this Figma comes out, I will be caught up on my Haruhi Suzumiya collection and able to focus on other series. Which means, Danny...
I must get the following before I get this:
1) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, volume 4, 4 LE (manga)
2) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, volume 4 - Limited Edition (manga)
3) Haruhi Suzumiya - Extravaganza Ver. (PVC)
4) Haruhi Suzumiya - Figma - Vol. 2, 32, 34
5) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Vol. 1-4 (DVD; maybe both versions)
6) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Haruhi Shugi (art book)
7) The Perplexity of Haruhi Suzumiya - Limited Edition (PS2)
8) The Praise of Haruhi Suzumiya - PSP the Best (but would not mind the limited edition ver.)
9) The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi chan, volume 1 (manga)
10) The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi chan, volume 2 (manga)
Now if I can get at least 50% of this list done, there is a 75% chance I will get it without a second thought. Anything beyond 50% of that list completed will increase this by 5%. And it would be a definite 100% if Jungle (the L.A. version) has it and you came with me to get one. :3
Now If I can get

Got to be the first time of 89% people getting a figure in a pole, I'm in ^^
Not only the fact of spending so much time here but also I love the color theme and character overall, plus it will be nice have her next to me while browsing DC.
Just by seeing that unique hair style and short skirt ^^; I know it will turn out great, so much time asking fo this, I can't believe it!!
Never bought a figure before but would definitely buy this one. Hopefully through Pay Pal or something since don't want to register for another site.

Not sure if I'll get it though, haven't gotten any figma's yet and still not entirely swayed by them, same as for Dollfies, the joints still put me off I guess... but it's enticing...

I'm afraid Figmas are too expensive and hard to get here that I won't be able to get Mirai because there are so many others I need, but this has made my day!
I can't imagine having any more kind of life goals after something you made becomes a FIGMA! That's a pretty awesome achievement!

Oh, if this figma is released, could it be sold through some place in America as well and not only in Japan? Shipping is pretty expensive :/

There are already places in the states (various local hobby stores and online stores as well) that sell figmas, you just need to know where to look. Treasure Island Sports in LA sells figmas and has an online presence, and usually the US stores are a few months behind the JP release date.

Hi Danny,
As an enthusiast of Japanese toys and models, I've been a long time reader of your website but have never registered until today. I felt I just had to say "Congratulations!" on what must feel like a bit of a dream come true.
I own quite a few Figmas and will definitely be adding the finished article to my collection. What better way to say "Thanks, Danny!" for all of the in-depth and informative articles concerning Japan and its wonderful idiosyncrasies?
Like many, I stumbled here a few years ago after searching for tips on Gundam modelling but now I visit almost every day and genuinely look forward to "A Week in Tokyo" and the other stories. It has helped to nurture a deep interest in the geography and culture of Japan that goes far beyond toys. Your New Year's piece about actually learning the language has inspired me to do just that.
So yeah, put me down for at least one Mirai! It's the least I can do in return!
