The design for Snow Miku 2025 has been decided. The winner is X (formerly known as Twitter) user “nekohoshi_neko,” and the theme for this year was “Kira Kira Snow Material.”
Piapro didn’t give specific guidelines or a description for the prompt. However, it seems that nekohoshi_neko interpreted it to mean individual snowflakes. There are snow crystals in Miku’s hair, as well as in the her dress. Meanwhile, her pigtails curl at the ends and have different-colored streaks, as well as snowflake designs, in them. Unlike normal Mikus, she has a cat-shaped mouth. Rabbit Yukine, the little mascot and friend for Snow Miku, has a similar little outfit. However, the ornament in its hair is a snowball rather than a snowflake.
Piapro chose the winner for this year. You can check out the other submissions, as well as the runner-ups, via the official website. The other designs have very different takes on the prompt. For example, one of them chose to put the hexagonal design of snowflakes in the hem of Miku’s dress. Another one focused more on the bright and glittery aspect of snow. As a reminder, the winning design for Snow Miku will appear as a Nendoroid in the future. There will also be a special theme song for the character. You can check out the past Snow Miku designs here.
The Snow Miku 2025 Nendoroid will likely appear some time next year.
