Review: Max Factory Miku Hatsune VN02

One word to describe this figure - Wow! This figure is the one which got me started collecting PVC figures. It all started when my friend showed me his figures collection and I thought, "Hey I could start one of my own too". As I googled my way to look at which type of figures are available in the market, then I found her. With no hesitations, I bought her the next day and it sure didn't disappoint me.
The most distinguished part of her is her translucent green hair, fair skin, beautiful futuristic outfit and a great flying pose. Her face is sculpted with a more real-life look than the other versions of her which looks fantastic.
The translucent green hair is different than what I've seen from other figures that I currently owned now. Her fringe is not symmetrical, so when you display her at a different angle, you'll get a different look of her face. The flowing hair shows that she is flying straight ahead with the wind blowing through her. Her hair ribbons definitely is the first I've seen so far with its square shape and her headphone gives her that high tech look.
Her outfit color scheme blends well with all the white, black, green and gold. Her body lines is another attraction to me, with this pose she looks so foxy. You could tell that great work have been taken on the details as her suit curved with her body. Not to mention the details on her collar are not left unattended.
As her black sleeves from her upper arms extend to her wrists, it turns to clear transparent displaying the black gloves she's wearing. I do think it's a good idea to make her sleeveless around the shoulder and armpit area, because that really brings out a feminine side of her.
You can see the seams on her plugsuit really runs well. There are two boombox like booster jet attached to her back which further enhanced the girl-meets-future kinda look. I can't really take my eyes off the exposed skin between the mini-skirt and the black stockings.
The inside of the speakers jet boosters really is well made, so you could really show off all the great details even if you're displaying it sideways.
Her exo-skeleton spine to blend the concept of attaching the booster jets attached to her back.
Her long slender legs with that one leg up pose. The proportion of the legs are just right. Many figures lack in this, either showing legs too thin or too long.
From here you could see the knee guard supports her weight to the base when she's leaning forward and she really is heavy with all the hair and mecha attached to her. Let's get to the base which shows the wind coiling up as she takes off.
One of the great elements of the figure is this base. A great base to a figure always add points to me when it comes to buying. Just like the hair, the base is also in translucent green which can be a highlight when displaying on a nicely lit shelf.
The core of the wind coiling up is another amplified speaker where she stands in the middle.
Seriously I have seen not much figures that could really match up to the VN02. Like I said from the start, the hair, face, suit, base, color scheme and pose is everything you could look for in a figure. I'm a proud owner of one and it truely is a masterpiece.
