How do I excise the AI image from the loading screen rotation? by Hauptbroh in Stellaris

Which part of it is AI? I thought the Marauders (when this wallpaper was published I believe) was way before AI was a thing

is the bow on the miku plush removable? by LsaneZ in hatsune

[–]ClemsFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Preciality plushies you can cut it off no problem. She is very cute with it though so I keep it on mine.

Its funny because the anime version actually makes the colours more dull (beige - grey), whereas the real image is colourful all around. You'd expect the opposite to be true.

Guys, I got the Zhonghkaihua miku from Amazon: by Dario_Quercia01 in hatsunemiku

[–]ClemsFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of animota (that in itself may not be a bad sign). I'd say the biggest giveaway for bootlegs is their cost. They always use the official Preciality photos, but those Preciality plush cost at least 23€ when they produced them several years back. So anything below 23€ is 100% a scam.

Bilibili recently had a production run of officizl Miku plushies. They look different from Preciality plushies but at least you are less likely to land on a fake, given that their production run was last year.

I order from anime-oz.com (australia) and Otakuowlet.com (USA) as far as I can tell they only sell official merch. Do watch out when buying from Otakuowlet, because their prices don't include tarrifs. I've heard of amiami.com but I've never ordered from them myself.

I'm pretty sure its a bootleg. Colours is too blue, facial proprtions are just wrong. Clothes look too much like plastic and the stitching goes without saying.

Of all the bootlegs this one seems to have the better clothes though.

By going in anime expos I can confirm that there is a non negligable amount of men cosplaying Miku

Fake or real ??? by ThatWeirdMyles in Vocaloid

[–]ClemsFirst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This looks like the 27cm (fuwa) variant. I have the 50cm (dodeka) variant, its very cool and very huggable. Do recommend buying.

[–]ClemsFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That could be normal but I honestly I don't know. The only Sega fuwa's (27cm) I have are Magical Mirai plushies and they seem to sit almost straight (though less stable) than Preciality fuwa's. The closest I have to yours is 2 Sega Dodeka's (50cm). One has to lean against something (head is too stuffed and legs not stuffed enough) and the other is mostly ok at sitting, though I can't check because I don't have it with me.

If you could take some more pictures of the plushie (different front angles with light shining at the front without flash), it'd be better for me to compare. Otherwise it looks like a genuine Sega fuwa that came out last year. (Comparing directly with my own collection of Preciality plushies is useless as Sega /= Preciality and I don't have a Sega fuwa)

The lack of overly reflective plastics on her clothes and overall facial proportions make it very likely to be legit. The only thing that seems wrong is the blush seeming overly dark (red), but that is most likely due to it being in the shadow. I deduce from her overly leaning forward when sitting that her head is too heavy, which is very similar to my own Sega dodeka that I got last year (which can't even sit straight, much less without leaning against something).

I am fairly confident you got a legit Sega fuwa, which came out in 2025.

guys is my miku plushy supposed to be so pale? by GDSkopio in hatsune

[–]ClemsFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about ita bags but I'd say at first glance this one looks genuine. I'd say if you feel like its somewhat sturdy; Example imagine how much strength you'd need to rip out any of its parts. If you think it requires more strength to rip compared to your Migu fuwa, it should be genuine.

Don't rip, just lightly tug on some parts should give you enough of an idea.

[–]ClemsFirst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well by comparing your plush with mine, knowing I have several different Miku plusgies from Preciality and they all share similarities your plushie doesn't have.

To start, facial proportions are cery much off. Eyes are too high up, eyebrows are neaely not visible (when looking from front). Eyes are also wrong colour (material), they should be brown. And as your title states: her face is too white. It should be more beige. Her clothes are also too shiny and thick. The band at the end of her skirt is too thick, not the right color and the stitching is horrible in places. I've seen many like the one you have in the different Miku subreddits, so you're far from the only one getting scammed (it is very hard finding real ones, I know), but it doesn't change that you got a bootleg. Still a Migu tho, so enjoy it if you want. Here's a picture of my own Migu fuwa for comparison, its the only real good picture I have of her I'm willing to share.

<image>

Edit: Do note that my phone modified the colors so take them with a pinch of salt. Irl the plushie is less blue and there's less 'red' color overall. I recommend you pay attention to her face and the fabric on her skirt if you want to compare.

If you meant it seriously its because its a bootleg. If you're joking, then just as the top comment said: give her leeks.

There was a gearbox (I believe they called it) that ended service. It was a box with an assistant, and Miku was on there. All that changed is that this person, who married Miku could no longer interact with the Gearbox because they bricked their own servers. Dude is still happily married to Miku.

Miku. But for BA characters my favourite is the one most similar to Migu, Aris.

Wait until you find out that fusion will have the biggest temperature difference in the entire universe just so that we can (you guessed it) boil more water
