figma Hatsune Miku: Support ver. Announced *UPDATE*

Mikatan has just posted an entry on her blog announcing a special re-release of the Miku figma. Please read on for more information and pictures.

UPDATE – International pre-orders are now open. Please check near the bottom for a link.

The figma Hatsune Miku: Support ver. is the third item in Good Smile Company’s Cheerful JAPAN! line (charity products where a set amount will be donated for Japan’s earthquake relief that are announced the 11th of each month for one year). The first product was the Nendoroid Miku Support ver. announced back in March. Along the same lines as the Nendoroid this figma will include everything the original figma came with, as well as some extras.

For each figurine sold GSC will donate 1,000 yen of the price for aid relief efforts.

GSC’s online store will start taking Japanese orders on their GSC Online Shop starting on July 11th until July 27th, 2011 (with a scheduled November release). Japanese orders will also have free shipping. International orders will become available on July 28th until August 8th, 2011 (with a scheduled November release). This figurine will be made-to-order; in other words, they will only produce as many as they have orders for, so pre-ordering her is your best shot on getting one.

There is one visible difference between this version and the original: the silver on her outfit is now brighter!

Let’s take a look at some images, starting with the ones showing the original release’s items.
