The neck has a small range of movement.

The long twin tails can rotate, letting you position them at various angles.

Together with other Figure-rise Bust kits that live and die by their hair — Mimonel and Lacus Clyne.

Hatsune Miku, the face of Vocaloid, has been released as a Figure-rise Bust kit.
In previous Figure-rise Bust kits, the eyes and face were sculpted separately, with each getting the premium multi-layer simultaneous injection technology known as layered injection. In this kit, however, the face and eyes are layered injected together as a single part.

The rest of the parts are similar in construction and quality to existing Figure-rise Bust kits — seals are kept to a minimum and the color separation is pretty well done. Miku's signature long twin tails in particular are sculpted with a great sense of volume, and since they can rotate to a decent degree, you can arrange her hair in all sorts of ways. That said, rotating the left tail causes some interference with the arm, so it's a bit tricky to spin it around completely freely.

The overall sculpt quality is honestly hard to believe for an injection plastic model kit, though there are still comments that it looks ever so slightly less pretty compared to various Miku figure products. That's probably going to come down to personal taste, but since the colors naturally can't quite match a precisely painted figure, that reaction is understandable.

Anyway, as a plastic model kit in its own right, this is one that'll make you genuinely marvel at Bandai's incredible technology all over again — and if you're a Miku fan, I'd say it's pretty much a must-get. :-)
