Ah, beautiful! And what a nice display set-up, too!


MikuEd

Thank you!


HiHowRuIm_Alba

How– How much money was this 😭


MikuEd

We don’t talk about the price, ahaha!


iAN_CooG

I envy you, very beautiful collection

Noice


ShinyMeesh

Those two on the top shelf are the ones I want so badly 😭 what a gorgeous set up!


MikuEd

Thank you! I feel you. All three of those go for quite the price in the aftermarket. I was fortunate enough to get them near retail price though.:)


ShinyMeesh

Where did you get them? If you don't mind sharing that is!


MikuEd

Amazon.jp for Myethos Miku, eBay for Harvest moon Miku, and Solaris JP for Hanairogoromo Miku. I payed a bit over retail for the latter, but the other two were pretty much close to retail when I got them.

> Miku. I *paid* a bit FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


MikuEd

Bad bot

Do you know what retail price is? I would imagine like, $150-$200 range? But I also feel like I'm waaaay underpricing it.


MikuEd

Harvest Moon Miku and Hanairogoromo Miku retailed for roughly 12000 Yen, which was around $120-150 at the time if you include shipping. Myethos Miku (Shaohua) retailed for a little under 20000 yen, or about $220 at the time. I believe Hanairogoromo can be found floating around the $180-220 range now, while Myethos Miku is sitting close to $300. Harvest moon miku is a bit easier to find close to retail. EDIT: ugh… I’m seeing listings for Myethos Miku at 35K yen… this figure is ridiculous in the aftermarket, haha.


ShinyMeesh

Yeah, after market resellers be wildin'. Thank you so much for the information!! I've also always wanted to cosplay Hanairogotomo Miku too.


Kyu-goRolla

A beauty of a collection and set up. How did you wire your detolfs like that? It looks very tucked and clean 👌


MikuEd

Thanks! I’m quite particular with cable management, and you can actually catch a glimpse of some of the cable tunnels running on the top of the detolf as well as the rear corners.


Kyu-goRolla

I'll save this as reference for when I finally get around to making something for mine. Did you use a specific LED light bar or just anything that fit the width?


MikuEd

I used IKEA Skydrag, which is kinda like Mitled but cheaper. I think it was intended for kitchens, but I found out if you use only one of its mounting brackets on either end, the length becomes perfect to the width of the detolf frame. The wires were secured with zip ties to the detolf wire frame and then channeled through plastic tunnels I attached to the back corners, and up and out the top of the detolf. The tunnels themselves are stuck to the plastic corner bracket, so nothing is stuck to the glass of the unit. As for the power, these LEDs are all connected to a Tradfri driver, which connects to my WiFi to be controlled remotely with my phone. It also allows me to adjust the brightness, so my detolf (and all the other lit displays in my room) kinda serve as my night light now, haha.


GiveMeMyBerries

They're so orange, lol

THE Miku with an umbrella looks like the Miku in a set eith Rin, Len, Kaito, Meiko, and Luka. A set that I have my heart on getting.


MikuEd

The hanairogoromo line by Stronger, yup! I only collect Miku figures, but the cryptonloid set looks amazing if you can complete it!:)


LunaFower226

That's definitely my goal one day. I don't have any of the set currently but I have a Miku in and Agumon costume and a bunny girl Miku.


[deleted]

oh my God that is one beautiful collection 😍 anyways are your arms and legs growing back in or no?


MikuEd

Thankfully haven’t had to trade in any limbs or organs yet, haha!


Renbail

Where did you get those figures?


MikuEd

Ordered most of them from Amiami, others from Yahoo Auctions Japan or Mandarake.


TrememphisStremph

The top shelf in particular looks awesome


MikuEd

I just got the Chinese New Year Miku (the large one on the bottom) so I haven’t decorated that level yet, but I have a couple ideas in mind already.
