Good Smile Racing

Good Smile Racing is producing two Racing Miku figures: a re-release of the 2023 POP UP PARADE edition shipping in February 2027, and a 1/7 scale anniversary figure scheduled for October 2027.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 31

Good Smile Racing has two Racing Miku figures in the pipeline, both rooted in the Hatsune Miku GT Project. The nearer release is a re-run of the POP UP PARADE Racing Miku 2023 Ver., a budget-priced figure that stands roughly 17 to 18 cm tall. Illustrator Toridamono designed the character, and the race queen outfit with wide-open sides and plump thighs is the standout trait. The prototype came from CKB, with coloring by namoji. Pre-orders ran from August 25 to September 23 at the official Good Smile Company shop, priced at 6,500 yen including tax, and the re-release follows the figure's popularity.

The second figure commemorates Racing Miku's 15th anniversary. Based on Kei Mochizuki's illustration "Rhapsody," the 1/7 scale piece shows Racing Miku in a pure white dress with colorful ribbons that reference past designs. It is priced at 30,000 yen with a release in October 2027.

Both items are figure releases only; the stories do not cover any racing activity or other studio output. The two announcements place Good Smile Racing's current focus squarely on commemorative and reissued merchandise, with the anniversary figure serving as the higher-end centerpiece.
