While sporting in a new (finally!) body, Miku also comes with new faceplates such as a blushing one and a really cute ala Kirino face that's full of excitement (with sparkling eyes to compliment it!) Accessory wise, Miku has a baf and a fan. But did I mention how cute them steamed buns hairstyle look like!? ( *A*)

While she is going to be a 39's Caravan event exclusive which is next month, she is priced at 3000 yen and will later on be available for pre-order at the GSC Online Shop, though no pre-order date and release date for the online release has been made so far.

Joining the vocaloid crew after the generic Vocaloids Miku to Luka + Kaito and Meiko; we finally see some news faces (and more will come soon). Gakupo comes with 3 face plates, a standard closed mouth face, an open mouth and a somewhat dreamy face of sorts. Also being packed with accessories such as a fan, his katana and a ridiculous (and somewhat disturbing for me) yet funny looking eggplant mount.

Running for a September release; Gakupo is priced at 3,500 yen. Images and info from GSC's product page.

Based off on a very popular model in MMD, the figure itself captures the essence of the model quite nicely, though, while slightly different from the original Miku we know the Lat type provides its own unique look and the figure captured it pretty well. And if you ask me, she is even 100x cuter here than the actual LAT model. One undeniable factor is that this adorable Miku wears glasses and that though still retaining a headphone, they are obvious different making it look more like our average headphone.

While her shirt looks white, they're not completely white, more of a dirty white if you ask me and it does make a good reference to the MMD model. GSC has a knack of making their Mikus really glossy and Lat isn't exempted either, from the shirt and tie down to the stockings, every piece of clothing this Miku wears have been done in a very glossy manner. While it might not be to the cup of tea of everyone, it doesn't ruin the figure's image in anyway, in fact, if you ask me, it helps make Lat stand out when in display cause she is quite the petit when displayed with other 1/8 scaled figures. Lastly, while extremely small, she retains the "01" imprint on her left arm but this time as part of her "armband" which isn't quite noticeable from afar but definitely a note worthy detail.

One last thing to note is that Lat comes with fake support pegs which you plug on to her left foot to help on balancing the figure. I call them fake support pegs because these pegs aren't a part of the base, you really just plug it on her foot and let it rest on the base, thus balancing Lat and preventing her from too much wiggling.

Lat also comes with two mics, you can choose which a rounded tip one and a somewhat rectangular tipped one but yeah, it's a matter of preference actually and either will look just fine for Lat.

Lastly, Lat comes with an extra glasses which you can ultimately equip on to a nendo; and one of my test subjects would be the petit Yomi, to somehow capture her make over on the recently concluded BRS TV.

While she comes with glasses; by default packaging, she isn't really wearing them and as such, it does add, yet once again, another display option and I seriously think there's a big difference in the appeal when you put on the glasses and when you don't. Personally speaking, I love the feel of the one without glasses as it give an innocent feel around her.

While the pose itself isn't something that looks very appealing, it does have it's good points in certain angles; angles wherein you'll realize just how cute Lat can be... If that's not cute enough then you can always put on her glasses as this adds a huge charm boost on the figure, the glasses does give yet a different feel but makes one (or at least me) realize just how cute and adorable Lat can truly be. A really great charmer for a Miku figure, something which I haven't felt that much since the original Miku release.

Lat is no doubt one of the best Mikus out there to date, while seemingly different in design, it does give us a very good representation of the 3D Model. If you're still looking for a good Miku and a sure keeper, Lat could be the one you want; just a natural charmer at first sight if you ask me and she does come in a very very friendly price too. I highly recommend getting at least this Miku if you've always envisioned her as one who is of the cute type.
