The 4th Hatsune Miku x GSC Illustration Contest asked artists to draw Sakura Miku in her official costume. fusuma's entry captured her in a casual moment, and that illustration is now the basis for a 1/7 scale painted figure under the G.S.Collection line. Clear parts are used for the balloons and hair, which gives those areas a different gloss from the rest of the finish. The product page lists a reference price of 24,799 yen including tax and a Rakuten Books price of 24,709 yen including tax. The listed photos and base are samples, and hand painting means individual pieces vary slightly.
