This is HIGH up on my wishlist. I’m definitely getting this nendoroid when it is released. I’m sure he will be awesome like Nendoroid Kaito but I hope he doesn’t sell out as quickly as Kaito though ^^;;
Some background information
Camui/Kamui Gakupo (神威がくぽ) is the official mascot character of Gackpoid (がくっぽいど / Gakuppoido) which is a singing synthesizer application software powered by Yamaha’s Vocaloid2 series and was published by INTERNET Co.,Ltd. in July 31, 2008. His voice is provided by Gackt.
The Vocaloid software itself is under the official name Gackpoid, and Kamui Gakupo or Gackpo is the avatar character of the software drawn by the illustrator Kentaro Miura (三浦健太郎 Miura Kentaro).
His character Item is Eggplant. (Info from (http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Kamui_Gakupo)
Been wishing for Gakupo and Kaito’s figma for years… I hope the wish comes true some day.
Curious what he sounds like? Song samples available here from the CD: EXIT TUNES PRESENTS 煌千紫万紅大雅宴 feat. 神威がくぽ from GACKPOID (VOCALOID) (ジャケットイラストレーター 鈴ノ助)/ オムニバス

Where can I preorder from?*o*
You can check my buying guide here ^^ https://www.lalaparadise.com/buying-boys-love-items-online/
@anonymous i got it from amiami ;o
i have noticed a trend…chibis that are close-mouthed in the unpainted prototype often become open mouthed in the final product….
cute!!! i saw him uncolored in march or february but seeing him colored makes me want him even more!!!
when is he up for preorder?
@doriko: Not announced yet but I think they’ll be up for preorder end May or early June.
awww gakupo is so cute. I love his voice. its the most distinct sounding vocaloid.
(thank you gackt sama for lending your godly voice! I love your voice and having a vocaloid ver of you finally proves that you’re not human after all LOLOL)
I hope they make more nendroids I hope Yuuma and Sensei has one soon, preferably yuuma.
@K.K: lolol XD I think his popularity will be immense! I think we’ll be fighting Gackt fans for this nendoroid orz;;
Oh he is cutie pie!!
I am not much of a vocaloid fan but this is cute!
@TasukiHoneyBunny: Definitely a cute male figure to add to your collection if you have the extra cash :D
gakupoooooooooooo!!!
que rico estás!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*DROOLS*
i love his hair *-*
and here i was wondering if i was going to preorder or wait for release D:
i didn’t know kaito poofed so fast…
i gotta get ready for preorders then!
@Shirokaze yep! I think he should be up for preorder really soon! Hope we can all get our hands on him <3
GREAT!!! He looks awesome in colors, and luckily he’s being released this year yet, it’s not like Yukimura nendo we’ve been waiting like two years O_o A wonderful friend for Kaito and Len! Ok, but my nendos are always bl versions of the characters, I’ll end up shipping him with some of them XDDD
@planck-chan: lol I’m sure Len will get the bulk of the attention from Gakupoid when he arrives. He is such a cutie after all XD
Let’s hope we can all get our hands on him!
\(^o^)/ Nyaaa~ Gakupo looks so cute! <33 Ah I want one! I bet he'd look so adorable on my desk at work (and give me a much needed smile now and then!!)
@jiji: totally! I think we’re all in love with him!
He looks really great! o.o So cute~~ Yeah! I hope they make enough so it wasn’t like what happened with Kaito. Man, that was stressful and I didn’t get him either. But its ok, I bought Kaito’s cheerful version :3
I really want him too! I wasn’t aware about the problems getting Kaito, but I was able to get the Good Smile Cheerful version, too.
@yudashin: Yeah cheerful version was a godsend for many fans who missed him :D
@momo: I think with Kaito they were not anticipating the demand? He is a male figure after all ^^;; Let’s hope they learnt their lesson and don’t give us a hard time preordering Gakupo. They still owe us a figma of these boys tho.
I’ve been waiting so long! :’D He looks just like I imagined. Any idea when he goes up for preorder?
@Hannah: My guess is this he should be up mid-end May?
Where can you buy this figure from auction?? I really want to but if it sells out fast there’s no way I’ll find him in an online store…
@Iridium: He is not out for preorder yet. I’ll update again when he is :) If auctions it’ll be Yahoo Japan Auctions, Ebay, Rakuten.
where can u preorder this plus theres gonna be a gumi nendoroid and miku rin and len append nendoroid petits!
@doriko: The preorder period is over. You can wait until it is released and look for them in auctions. The new petites are not open for preorders yet :)
O MY GOD I NEED THIS finnaly a gakupo after infinity mikus
@doriko: totally agree :) have you preordered it?
So many things to comment, but I’m a bit busy these days.
Yeah, Gakupo! Finally after over 9000 Mikus! XD My vocaloid family will be complete: Kaito, Len and Gakupo, that’s awesome! Can’t wait to see him in colors!
@planck-chan: No worries! I’m glad you’re always dropping by *hugs*
YES FINALLY indeed! XD He’ll look amazing, I’m sure! Can’t wait to see what they’re going to do with his eggplant lol~
@ponytale plz do notify when this pre order is on T____T thank u!
@Lazuli: I will! Cos I’m also eyeing this guy lol~
AH finally! Where can you preorder him?! I’m most excited, and last time I really wanted a figure it sold out too fast. (I rarely do buy these, but when I do it is like the wrath of Khan, do not get in the way)
@Iridium: Preorders are not announced yet :) will update when it is!
WILL GET!
i cant wait to get him together with kaito *-*
*drools…*
Gakupo! Ur finally here!!!!
@Shirokaze: Definitely ^^ Hope they make enough to cater to the demand.
It’s about time he and Gumi got nendoroids.
I wish the Kagamine twins got append nendoroids. The minis are still cute though.
Miku gets way too many figures xD
@Vaiyoretto: Cute as she is, there are just too many Miku indeed… maybe the append versions of the twins are already in the works?
Heh, I actually thought he was a girl when I saw this nendoroid yesterday. His nendoroid form is so cool though. I’ll definitely get him when he goes up for order as well. With the way GSC has been doing with their nendoroids’ preorders, I’m sure he’s not going to be sold out fast.
@mai: Yeah, they would probably give him more faces. This face is too cute lol~ Well, you’ll be surprised ^^;; Kaito sold out in a flash.
Ooookay, after so long I learn that GACKT was behind Gakupo… I feel silly…
@Mayon: I would find the voice familiar even if I didn’t know it was Gackt XD
Finally, some official merchandising of Gakupo. I’ll be saving money from now, I MUST get this!! <3<3
@Lehanan: Yep, must get :D I hope they do a Cheerful Japan version too so everybody has a chance at owning him ^^;;
This announcement really made my day! Finally they deceided to do Gackpoid! He looks so cute! …..ヾ( 〃∇〃)ツ キャーーーッ♪ I thought he was forgotten after Miku, Kaito, Rin, Ren & more Miku…. o(T^T)o I definitely have to get him~
@IIona: Yep, I have almost given up hope already, so this announcement is a very nice surprise :D Love to see what they’ll do with his eggplant XD
Wow. I am SO surprised that they are releasing him, I mean, GSC is making him! LOL! irony has it, i was talking about Gakupo with another friend how if anyone was ever going to make a figure of him or something :D
I hope he doesn’t have a high sell out rate either =X
@momo: Best surprise this wonfes… I hope they’ll release a cheerful version of him to relieve me of the stress of preordering.
