TL;DR

  • Miyuki has worked as the manufacturing partner on more than 620 figures made for other brands. Fewer than twenty releases carry its own name.
  • Good Smile Company distributes the line, which is known for Higurashi: When They Cry figures and the Twinkle Eyes series.
  • Named releases cost roughly $135 to $200 USD.
  • Because Miyuki's own-label selection is small, focus on individual character announcements instead of tracking every release.

A Manufacturing Record of More Than 620 Figures

Miyuki has served as a manufacturing partner on more than 620 figures made for other brands, including products distributed by Good Smile Company (GSC). Most of that work carries another company's name.

Fewer than twenty releases carry the Miyuki name. The MAIDMADE project was the studio's first step toward building its own public identity, though that business transferred to D-techno in February 2024. Miyuki built its manufacturing record by making figures for other companies.

Higurashi and the Move from Production Partner to Brand

The named catalog centers on Higurashi: When They Cry, with additional figures from Cardcaptor Sakura, The Quintessential Quintuplets, Komi Can't Communicate, and Blue Archive. The Twinkle Eyes line has expanded Miyuki's public identity.

At roughly $135-$200 USD per release, Miyuki sits in the middle-to-upper end of collector-figure pricing. The named releases so far show clean paint work and tight assembly, though fewer than twenty figures provide only a small sample.

Limited Catalog, GSC Distribution

Miyuki's catalog is tiny by any standard. Fewer than twenty named releases means if Miyuki hasn't made your character, they probably won't.

For Higurashi fans, Miyuki's versions emphasize costume detail and expressive face sculpts that reflect the series' tonal range. The transfer of MAIDMADE to D-techno in 2024 narrows the own-brand catalog further, which may make existing Miyuki-branded releases scarcer over time.

Pre-ordering through GSC's distribution channels is the standard approach. Given the small catalog, there is no need to monitor Miyuki constantly; just check when a character you follow gets announced.
