Trivia
- Many have asked why Miro-K has a PPI stamp and has the number 26 on the back. This is because Miro-K uses the same figure sculpt as Ayu, which is number 26 in the Megatrip series.
- While the 18-Pack label states the "Yellow-K" is a limited edition, there seems to be no information on how long the promotion was designed to run, or how "limited" the figure may ultimately be. They were out of most Target stores by Spring 2013.
- As of the first of November 2012, very few yellow Miro-K's were still available at Target stores. No further issuance is currently underway.
- Now, over half a year later, it turned out the yellow Miro-K was indeed a very limited edition, and is quite rare. Typical prices on eBay for it range upward from $50.00 USD, with one being sold at $150 USD.
- Yellow Miro-K was referred to as "Yellow-K" in a Facebook post by JDNA. It isn't known if this was an intentional nickname or spelling error.
YouTube Giveaway
On the 2nd of April 2011, the official NA Gogos Crazy Bones channel posted a video called ' ' Gogo's Crazy Bones - Miro-k unveiled at last '. At the end of the video Gogo's CrazyBones* had promised a so called "giveaway". It is currently unknown about what exactly happened during the giveaway.
