The Character(s):
This is the Kagamine twins namely Rin and Len from Vocaloid. Description taken from wiki:
Released on December 27, 2007, Kagamine Rin/Len (鏡音リン・レン) is the second installment of the Vocaloid2 Character Vocal Series. Their family name was chosen by combining Kagami (鏡, Mirror), Ne (音, Sound), with the first syllables of their given names a pun on "Left" and "Right". They are not actually brother and sister, but are reflections of a mirror.[citation needed] According to Vocaloid's official blog, the package includes two voice banks: one for Rin and another for Len, both provided by the voice actor Asami Shimoda. Despite the double voice banks, the package still sells at the same price as Hatsune Miku.Their only cameo appearance in an anime is in (Zoku) Sayonara Zetsub? Sensei, where the two and Miku (and various other people and characters) try out to be the voice of Meru Otonashi.

On June 12, 2008, Crypton announced the updated edition, named "act2", will be released in early July 2008. Users who had bought the old version will get an expansion disc free of charge. On June 18, 2008, beta demonstration songs using the new version were released on the company's official blog.The expansion disc is an entirely different software and does not affect the original Kagamine Rin/Len installation in any way, giving the user options to either use the old or new voice sets exclusively or combine their usage.

The Figure(s):
Both Nendoroid Rin (No.39) and Len (No.39) has 3 optional parts of faces which includes a blank face to use for the supplied face stickers which is tricky to located at the box and I thought no stickers were provided, optional arms and legs, a microphone for Rin and a keyboard guitar for Len. They were too much for me so I got really lazy to use them all. ^^; Anyway, I love how this figure can do a holding hand pose.

The Photoshoot:
In this photoshoot, I still used the same materials as from the previous Nendoroid Riannon photoshoot since it suit with yellow-filled subjects such as these figures.

Holding hand pose which is not actually like holding hands.



I forgot to do a facing-down-at-Miku pose.


They're uber cute.
