No two Hatsune Miku displays ever look the same—and that’s the beauty of it. Whether your Miku Hatsune is performing under neon lights, posing for a photo shoot, or resting in a soft Sakura scene, expression defines her entire atmosphere.
Blokees’ officially licensed Hatsune Miku Toys Collection gives collectors complete control over that emotion through interchangeable faceplates, custom decals, and delicate lighting-friendly finishes. With just a few swaps and design tweaks, your Miku can shift from cheerful idol to shy artist, or even a beautifully subtle “expression Hatsune Miku” display.
This article explores how to master emotion through faceplates and decals—turning your Miku collection into a fully expressive art form.

Lighting Effects for Faceplates
Lighting transforms emotion—it’s what turns a printed smile into an illuminated presence.
Guidelines for Emotional Lighting:
-
Warm White (2800K–3500K): Comfort, nostalgia, softness.
-
Neutral White (4000K): Balance; fits cheerful or neutral tones.
-
Cool Blue (5000K+): Amplifies or futuristic vibes.
-
Accent RGB Lighting: Perfect for concert or digital-scene energy.
Angle Adjustments:
-
Top-down: Highlights forehead and cheeks—ideal for smiles.
-
Front-facing: Emphasizes symmetry—perfect for portrait shots.
-
Low upward glow: Creates drama—used for introspective scenes.
Avoid: Harsh backlighting. It flattens decal visibility and reduces emotional readability.
