Evangelion Designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's Hatsune Miku Gets 1/8-Scale Figure

Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by Tokyo Otaku Mode.

Evangelion character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's drawing of virtual idol Hatsune Miku is getting a 1/8-scale figure courtesy of Good Smile Company. Pre-orders opened on Thursday for 12,000 yen (US$100).

The "Greatest Idol" version was originally designed as the cover art for sound producer Mitchie M's album of the same name in 2013. Sadamoto had been interested in Hatsune Miku before, and agreed to draw the cover for the CD when he listened to Mitchie M's songs.

Customers who pre-order the figure through Good Smile Company's shop will also get A3-size wall scroll.
