In recent months, Riot Games has been upping the ante when it comes to super-premium skins in League of Legends.

hatsune miku figure cinnamoroll

Sega Plaza will start stocking its prize machines with a figure of Hatsune Miku holding Cinnamoroll and Milk in her arms. This figure is part of the Chokonose line.

The Hatsune Miku figure has curly twintails, and an overall black-and-white aesthetic. However, the ribbon hanging from her collar is a light blue that's the same color as Cinnamoroll's eyes. As for Cinnamoroll and Milk in her hands, they have the same hair ribbons that Miku does. For reference, Milk is one of Cinnamoroll's friends. Though he's a baby with lots of characteristics in common to Cinnamoroll, Milk isn't related to him.

This isn't the first time that Hatsune Miku appeared with Cinnamoroll. In 2023, Good Smile Company announced a Nendoroid of Miku posing with Cinnamoroll. For this figure, Miku was looking like her usual self, while Cinnamoroll was cosplaying as her.

Chokonose figures are prize figures that Sega Plaza offers, with the figure posed like you can sit them on the edge of a surface. "Nose" in Japanese is a term for placing something on something else, while "choko" is a little bit. This is why the figures usually look like they're simply perching on the edge. That being said, some figures like the one of Kiui Watase from Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night look like they're fully relaxing on something.

The Hatsune Miku, Cinnamoroll, and Milk Chokonose figure will appear as a prize in Sega Plaza from November 29, 2024.
