HATSUNE MIKU - Hatsune Miku Mermaid Princess - Statue Desktop 8.5cm

HATSUNE MIKU – Mermaid Princess – Desktop Fairy Figurine 8.5 cm

Discover Hatsune Miku transformed into a mermaid princess with this Desktop Fairy – Mermaid Princess Ver. figurine produced by FuRyu. Standing approximately 8.5 cm tall, this pre-painted figurine has a deliberately compact design, intended to fit easily on a desk, a shelf or in a display case. It marks the launch of the Desktop Fairy collection, dedicated to fairy-tale-inspired interpretations of Miku.

Miku is depicted sitting in a gentle, dreamy pose, her hands clasped beneath her chin. Her long turquoise locks frame her silhouette, whilst her legs have been replaced by a mermaid’s tail with blue-green scales and pearlescent sheen. Her pastel-coloured outfit is complemented by pearls, stars in her hair and a headpiece adorned with small fins, reinforcing the marine and fairy-tale aesthetic of this version.

The model is based on an original illustration by Eku Kamikura. Certain parts, notably the embellishments on the outfit and headdress, feature translucent elements to accentuate the aquatic feel of the whole design. The figurine is designed to be displayed as it is, without requiring a large plinth, in keeping with the compact concept of the Desktop Fairy range.

Character background and lore

Hatsune Miku is a virtual singer developed by Crypton Future Media. She first appeared on 31 August 2007 with the VOCALOID2 Hatsune Miku voice synthesis software, which allows users to create songs by entering lyrics and melodies. Her original voice is based on recordings by the Japanese actress Saki Fujita.

The character is officially depicted as a 16-year-old virtual singer, standing 158 cm tall, with blue-green as her signature colour and her two instantly recognisable long pigtails. The name ‘Hatsune Miku’ can be interpreted as the ‘first sound of the future’, in reference to the software’s original concept.

Building on this foundation, users have created tens of thousands of songs, illustrations, videos and different interpretations of Miku. She has thus become much more than a software mascot: Crypton now presents her as a virtual singer and as the centre of a significant international collaborative creative culture. She also appears in concerts, video games and a vast array of merchandise.

The Mermaid Princess version is not part of any specific canonical storyline. It is an original interpretation based on the theme of fairy tales, conceived for the Desktop Fairy range based on an illustration by Eku Kamikura. It thus transforms Hatsune Miku’s usual visual elements into a pastel-coloured mermaid princess, whilst retaining her iconic turquoise hair.
