Honeycomb is a garage kit circle that doesn’t have a lot of work under their belt, but they rose rather spectacularly up the ranks with their Append Miku that was released nearly a year ago. Since then they’ve only had two other kits: a really awkward-looking Rise and Append Rin. Up until now they have had some really solid ideas but horrible body sculpts: while their Append Miku is undeniably beautiful, her torso is literally twice as wide as her hips.
It seems that their sculptor, Haya, has improved a lot, judging from Honeycomb’s 2012 Winter Wonder Festival offering of Nurse Miku. Sure, her arms are a little too long and thin, but they work with the stylized look. This is also a colored resin kit that theoretically you could assemble without painting–although, of course it will look better with a little sprucing up. While I’m sure the style won’t work for everyone, I really love this quirky version of Miku and it’s great to see a sculptor improve so much!

However, companies always seem to save some special announcements for this event, and they’re usually pretty interesting! I mean, everyone expected GSC to make Madoka figures. But some of the biggest surprises, like <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/kotobukyia-is-bringing-us-more-persona-merch" target="_blank">Kotobukiya making Persona 4 One Coin figures</a> or <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/max-factory-announces-a-double-dose-of-metroid-figures" target="_blank">Max Factory’s double dose of Samus</a>, are saved for today! So hit the jump to check out all of the new goodies on display at Chara Hobby.</p> <p><strong>Updated with new information!</strong></p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/CharaHobbyRoundupHeader.jpg "UPDATED: Chara Hobby’s Shiny New Goods")
